Thakk Ahren is a professional gambler, slicer, forger and mercenary that has lived the majority of his life along a string of bad luck. An Iridonian Zabrak by birth, he became a con man and gambler when he left his homeworld after the death of his brother, Uris, during their Selenoren (the Zabrak rite of passage). After he lost his ship the Harvest Moon in a sabacc match on Atzerri, and subsequently blasting the winner, he went into hiding on Nar Shaddaa.
