==History== | |||
After a two day transit to take him to [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] custody following his arrest by the ''Veritas'', he escaped from the Edria City marshal's office during his hand-over, quite literally slipping through the hands of his arresting officers. He was last seen heading into the [[Shadows]], where it's presumed he has a place of residence. | |||
He was later encountered on board the freighter Tiburon when it destroyed Yorba Station, and is the only known survivor of the incident when he was discovered by the crew of the {{USS|Veritas}} in 2394. | He was later encountered on board the freighter Tiburon when it destroyed Yorba Station, and is the only known survivor of the incident when he was discovered by the crew of the {{USS|Veritas}} in 2394. | ||
In 2395, he suspiciously arrives at [[Outpost 3]] to give the repair crews much needed materials and equipment to get the outpost operating at capacity again. However, in return, he asks Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] for a favour to be repaid in future - though he claims that there are no strings attached. | In 2395, he suspiciously arrives at [[Outpost 3]] to give the repair crews much needed materials and equipment to get the outpost operating at capacity again. However, in return, he asks Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] for a favour to be repaid in future - though he claims that there are no strings attached. On stardate 239504.10, Kallo returns to [[Star Station Esperance]] to collect on Rahman's debt - namely in requesting that his ship, the ''Tiger Lilly'', be released from Marshal impound. After hours upon hours of working with bureaucrats, Rahman returns the ship to Kallo. | ||
Upon boarding, Kallo searches the vessel, and locates a PADD and a detonator "of sentimental value" of which he hands to [[Mei'konda]]. Once back aboard Esperance, however, [[Kallo Ver & The Hunt for the Lost Romulan Treasure Fleet (Veritas)|Kallo blows up the ''Tiger Lilly'']], and is then remanded in Veritas custody. He explains to Rahman that he intended to be arrested (either by the Veritas or by Star Station Esperance) so to guarantee his safety from [[Aniliza Tacir]] and the [[Orion Syndicate]], having duped them and with-holding the fact that he located coordinates to a long dead [[Romulan]] fleet within the Shoals. The crew investigates to find that Kallo was indeed telling the truth. | |||
During their investigation, they encounter Niraa, an old associate of Kallo's who intended to use him to get access to the treasure he claimed to have found. She agrees to work with the Veritas, much to Kallo's distaste. The crew continue on to find a lost Romulan colony on an otherwise uninhabited planet. They convince Tacir, whom had located Kallo with the intention of returning him to the Orion Syndicate, to work with them. | |||
Kallo attempts to retell his version of the Lost Romulan Treasure Fleet to Liam Schnieder, a waiter working in a restaurant on the outskirts of the Shoals whom he all but forces to hear out six hours worth of story, but Kallo increasingly exaggerates the details of the ending and is forced to cut it short when they inevitably stay past closing time of the restaurant. It's believed that Kallo used the "treasure boxes" the Veritas found to identify the location of Romulan herbs and spice plants, generally available only on Romulus, locked in stasis containers that Romulan colonists had taken with them on their journey in the Shoals - as Romulus was destroyed over a decade ago by this time, such things are apparently worth considerable amounts of latinum, and he sells these to distributors in the Shoals. Kallo then leaves the restaurant, having paid [https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/oawmj/what_do_you_think_the_exchange_rate_is_of_latinum/c3fz8cx/ 250 bars of latinum] because he gave a free round of expensive drinks to guests as well as paid for the rest of Schnieder's shift. He then charters a vessel to return him to Valt Minor, his homeworld. It's presumed from this point on, he is less than careful with his newfound wealth. | |||
==Personality== | |||
Kallo Ver tests the patience of everyone he meets, being somewhat deliberately irritating to throw off his arresting officers or business partners. This tactic does not always work, however, and though it is admittedly rare, he has taken high risk situations seriously - "brave" is not generally a word that is used to describe him. Regardless, his frustrating use of language and omission to get what he wants overshadows the fact that, while he is a common criminal, Kallo is totally truthful - about everything - often to the surprise of all around him. He believes honesty to be the best policy despite his rather illegal escapades. | Kallo Ver tests the patience of everyone he meets, being somewhat deliberately irritating to throw off his arresting officers or business partners.

Even more infuriating, Kallo uses the legal systems around him to his benefit, and is incredibly difficult to catch and keep in one place - quite slippery and a master of escapes. He is not heartless, exhibiting a generosity some would consider out of character, but there are limits to this. He ultimately values himself above all, and if he believes cutting others loose is the best way to save himself, he will do just that. | Even more infuriating, Kallo uses the legal systems around him to his benefit, and is incredibly difficult to catch and keep in one place - quite slippery and a master of escapes.
