Artus Mikaru was a member of the Mikaru Clan and the father of Vincent Mikaru. He was a very wise businessman and kind individual. He was renowned for the Gemini-class Cargo Hauler, and becoming the head of the Coruscanti Shipwrights guild. It was he who taught Vincent the finer points of ship design and influenced Vincent in many ways. He stuck out amongst the clan and Echani alike because his hair was more silver than most, it is unknown what caused this.
