Eyla Faixan

Never doubt a Faixan woman. Nobody was entirely sure how far back the adage dates, but it is an accurate one. They just have a way of turning up in history books. Sometimes in the most unexpected of ways. Eyla for instance is a figure cloaked in shadow and legend. Unassuming to look at but with an undeniable presence. She is one of those figures that seems to come from nowhere but trails a thousand stories behind her. In the Galactic Civil War between the Republic and the Sith Empire tales of Eyla Faixan are to be found a dozen to a credit. In every cantina and bar there are tales. Often they're mutually exclusive, Eyla couldn't possibly have captained a Republic cruiser AND infiltrated Coruscant for the Sith. There's no way she could have once drunk a Sith Lord under the table while disguised as a Jawa AND carried on a torrid love affair with a Jedi master. Many don't even believe that Eyla Faixan is real. She likes it that way... because you're one of the few that knows the truth. Eyla is in it for the people not the politics and if she hears of a famine or a plague she thinks nothing of mobilizing the whole syndicate to source the humanitarian goods from either side. She'll play nice with anyone if that's what it takes, and steal from anyone if that's what is required. Eyla saves lives, it's her calling, and she's not afraid to do unsavory things for the greater good if that's what it takes. Not everyone gets it, even among her closest colleagues and friends sometimes she has to couch her merciful endeavors in the language of profit or the challenge of piracy, but when Eyla wants to help, she tends to find ways to convince people to go along with her. As one of her dearest confidants you're regularly amazed by the woman, you'd willingly follow her into battle or take a vacation with her and there aren't a lot of people you'd do both of those things with. Contemporary with the Old Republic MMO.
