Leaders

Lady Qi'ra

Qi'ra is a beautiful and sophisticated woman with an aura of quiet dangerousness; since the death of Dryden Vos at the hands of a treacherous smuggler, she has led Crimson Dawn with ruthless amorality and her own deadly skill with a blade.

Morgausse Isard

Morgausse Isard inherited many things from her father Armand: her zeal for the New Order, the dramatic white streak through otherwise black hair, and the Directorship of COMPNOR. When that body was dissolved by Empress Leia, Morgausse fled Coruscant with a hard core of militant supporters and established herself as Director-in-Exile, attracting more followers and assembling them into an organization that could strike against Organa's Empire from inside its own borders.

Talon Karrde

Noted for his penchant for wordplay, Talon Karrde is an honorable man, and an essentially honest one as well, if cagey and closed-mouthed. He builds loyalty by demonstrating it in turn, and is always willing to at least listen when someone claims extenuating circumstances for a failure or infraction. Not given to caprice or cruelty, he is nevertheless capable of ruthlessness when crossed or threatened.
