Fiction:Takpo

Takpo, known by his title of Takpo the Grand, is a member of the Slug-like species that comes from, and indeed, was once a crime lord within the, before leaving for Mirus for unknown reasons. Though many whisper it had something to do with a boggled smuggling operation, or was dishonored by his slimy people, but Takpo insists he simply wanted to leave for greener pastures and ensure his own criminal empire. Though he would never become the head of a criminal empire, he would become an ally of, leader of the. Here, he would serve as Vizor of Finance, handling the debt Collection teams, financial workings, and gambling.

Takpo has since allowed himself to be put in prison, but with his connections and power in the UAE government and Blackstar Cartel, he could easily leave and be a free slug. Instead, Takpo stays inside, living in general luxury within his cell, and safe from assassins and rivals. He generally manages his territory and holdings from his prison, rather unconcerned with any rivals that may seek to muscle in on his territory. From his prison perch, he can remain untouched by any.

Early Life
Takpo was born sometime in Quadrant 82, but relocated with the rest to Quadrant 81. Though a minor figure among the various empires run by his Slug-like species, Takpo did generate a generous amount of money and income from a slave trading and processing center somewhere on the border of Rambo space, as well as running gambling rings and racing tracks for further profit. Despite gaining generous amounts of money from his buisness ventures, Takpo would one day sell off his assets to other Slugs and Crime Lords, and take only his private yacht a group of bodyguards to travel to other galaxies. Many whispered that he had made a great enemy of some sort, perhaps crossing the Great Morglûkia himself. Takpo, however, denied it all, and merely stated he wished to travel.

He would end up in Mirus, and settle in and try to become a crime boss in new territory with the funding he had saved in the Quadrants. To accomplish this, he signed several agreements with the Prince, Naxor Kale'edi, who made Takpo one of his Vizors within the, handling all the money within the organization. He would oversee all gambling rings and casinos, fund and collect the deposits from race tracks, gladiator arenas, and games of chance, oversee the debt collection from those who owed the cartel big, and oversee smuggling operations.

After many years spent in Naxor's service, both believed Takpo had made too many enemies, and was being targeted. As such, both set up a "sting operation", that resulted in Takpo being arrested and placed in a secure UAE prison facility. Despite being in prison, his cell was furnished with paintings, works of art, music, top grade food, and other fineries. Despite being in prison, he was in the heart of his territory, and ran everything through puppets and servants, and untouchable to his foes, his cell isolated and secure.
