John Flint

Flint's History
John Flint was born John Jacob Astor in the depths of Nar Shaddaa's slums 28 years ago. His mother, a prostitute for the many gamblers of the Corellian Sector, left him to his own devices while she worked the streets of Level 88. Jacob did have a father of course, a degenerate gambler of little luck who spent most of his time trying to pay off debts. There were times however, when the man had short streaks of good luck and the family stayed in expensive suites or penthouses reserved for wealthy players. It was during these "high times" that Jacob would be pulled away from the troublemakers of the slums. He'd spend most of his days watching pirate holovids like "Rail Vorkan and the Space Pirates" and "Space Pirates of the Galaxy". It was heaven for the young man but the high times seldom lasted long. With a horrible gambling habit Jacob's father gambled away every fortune he was ever lucky enough to come by and the family would move right back down into the slums.
