Personality

Ssandon can be perceived as deceiving, cruel and sneaky however this assessment could not be further from the truth, his method of gaining information is simply what needs to be done, Ssandon has a deep restraint towards killing another individual and would rather see them locked up for any crimes, when solving crime he tries to spot the obvious rather than the not so because the obvious is what people tend to miss. He ignores his background in the Selayan Nobility but uses it when appropriate, he finds the Nobility system flawed and would like to see a new government installed on the Selay.

Likes and Dislikes

• Likes:
  • Justice: To Ssandon justice isn't just something that happens, to him it is a religion and every time, he sees someone being locked up that deserves to be locked up gives him a sense of relief, every time he locks that someone up himself gives him more than relief, but pride.
  • Selayan Wine: Selayan Wine and Ssandon met when he was eighteen years of age, it is much stronger that most mammalian drinks like Bloodwine, Romulan Ale and Vodka, but not illegal in the Federation, Mammals tend to get drunk after a sip of it, however reptiles have a higher tolerance to the particular wine. Ssasndon drinks for two reasons, one reason is that he enjoys drinking something that even a Klingon wouldn't be able to handle and the second is simply that he enjoys it, his knowledge of Selayan wines maybe the only thing he knows more about than solving crime.
• Dislikes:
  • Crime: Ssandon despises crime, it is one thing that pushed him into becoming an investigator.
  • Anticans: Like many of his species, Ssandon has a great dislike for the Antican species, still considering them an enemy despite both being in the Federation.

Interests

Justice

Many may call this his job but Ssandon enjoys bringing people to justice and spends many late nights focusing on a case, rather than sleeping (Although he requires little due to Selayan physiology) over his life he has seen many people brought to justice and keeps a record of all his cases, he continues to build up quite an archive of case files.

Family

Relationships

• Crak'Ssten: Ssandon was assigned to Crak'Ssten, an accomplished Selayan Detective, in 2373 and after a reluctant start, Crak'Ssten began to teach Ssandon everything he knew about solving crime. They worked together on many cases until 2380 when Ssandon left the force to become a private investigator, a move Crak'Ssten didn't approve of, as he felt PI's where untrustworthy and dangerous, he felt they worked for money rather than justice. He cut all communications with his student when Ssandon left the force and they have not spoken since.

Personal History

Early Life

Ssandon grew up in a home on the Selay, he spent most of his days with his mother and his older brother, he never saw much of his father who worked as an overseer at a Duranium mine owned by his grandfather (A Selayan Noble). While growing up Ssandon developed a keen interest in puzzles and working things out, and when he was ten he got caught up in a murder case when a neighbor was murdered, Ssandon discovered the body and contacted the authorities, trying to figure out the killer alongside the authorities, as expected he was unsuccessful but seeing the murderer getting brought to justice seemed to give Ssandon a sense of relief, knowing there was one less criminal in the world. The feeling made a large impact on his choice of career and when he was old enough he joined the Selayan Police force as an assistant to one of the Investigators.

Professional History

Time in the Selayan Police Force (2373 - 2380)

Ssandon joined the SPF at 25 in order to fulfill his dream of bringing justice to the galaxy, he worked as an investigator's assistant until he became an inspector in 2379. After a few cases he left the force because he felt that the rules and regulations imposed on him interfered with his cases and left to pursue private investigation.

First Case - The Murder of Sten'stess (237302.09 - 237302.21)

Ssandon had been assigned to Investigator Crak'ssten, one of the most experienced detectives on the force, he chose Ssandon because of his eagerness to help and devotion to justice. The first case Ssandon was involved in came a week after joining the force. A body had been reported buried in the Sesstan desert on the southern continent of Selay, being one of the best detectives on the force Crak'ssten was assigned to the case. At the first visit to the murder scene, Ssandon admired how quickly Crak'ssten had worked out the method of death, and a lead to where they where to go next, Ssandon asked the detective who told him that the key to solving crime is knowledge and attention to the obvious, Crak'ssten had told Ssandon that the clothes the victim was wearing had a pocket and he had simply taken out an ID card and confirmed the identity of the victim (Sten'Stess a Black Market Dealer), and then gained a complete bio, he told Ssandon how many crime solvers jump to complicated theories of how it could of happened, Crak'ssten would simply follow a trail. Crak'ssten eventually solved the case deducing that the man was killed by an unhappy customer called Malcolm Scarall, who had tried to purchase Dominion Weaponry for the Romulan Star Empire. Crak'ssten commented on how helpful Ssandon was in the case and decided to take the young Selay under his wing.

The Bolian Drug Cartel (237306.12 - 237401.04)

A few months after the murder of Sten'stess, the use of illegal substances on Selay went up by 10%, due to this unusual occurrence Crak'ssten was put on the job and with him Ssandon. Their first lead was a sample of the substance itself, it was a drug from Bolarus IV indicating some Bolian involvement (although this was not confirmed at the time.) Crak'ssten then sent Ssandon undercover to find a dealer of the drug. Due to the mass use and demand of the drug, finding a dealer was not difficult. The dealer Ssandon found was a Bolian called Yull; Yull introduced Ssandon to some of the other members of the dealership, all Bolain. They apparently wanted to recruit some Selay members to fit in with the 'natives.' Ssandon offered to help, but insisted he meet the operator. Yull reluctantly agreed and took Ssandon to an underground warehouse were the operator, a large Bolian named Skell, was dwelling and running the operation. Ssandon worked with the Bolians for six months, long enough to learn names, places, future operations and contacts. He then contacted Crak'ssten, who surrounded the underground base with SPF officers. Ssandon personally arrested Skell. This case gave Ssandon real experience into how criminal organisations worked and how criminals acted, valuable information that would prove useful in the future.
