BIOGRAPHY:-
The Baron Grippa Warpath
Grippa Warpath is the current head of the Kiffar clan Tinae and owner of the Warpath Services Group (WSG).
Born in the year -10 to 23rd Baron Trandor and Inoa Warpath. It is not known if there were siblings but it is not uncommon for young male Kiffar nobility to kill siblings so as to confirm primogeniture.
Having not really excelled with his studies the young Grippa followed his father into the profession of Guardian, headed by the Royal Clan Vos. The role of a Guardian is to protect Kiffex from the many criminal syndicates working in and around the prison colonies. Once again it is thought that Grippa did not excel in his duties, with rumours circulating that on several occasions heavy handed tactics were used by him and his men to resolve conflicts in areas he was assigned to patrol.
By year 7 the people of Kiffex had been living in comparative peace for around 20 years. This peace was to have a violent and bloody end. One sunny morning, with no warning, half of the Guardians of Kiffar had been slain. The culprit or culprits were unknown at the time, indeed Grippa's own life was nearly forfeit when a bomb meant to eliminate him was detonated by a colleague who arrived early for work. Having first overseen the evacuation of his Clan from their hereditary holdings Grippa resolved to find out who had torn the fabric of Kiffex society asunder.
With the Guardians of Kiffar now a shadow of their former self, and with more perishing each day, the stability of Clan society began to break down. Vendettas that had lain dormant for a generation erupted into the open. More killings now took place, with Guardian against Guardian now becoming a common occurrence. Grippa hid and assumed disguise. Many ridiculed his Clan for fleeing, but Grippa had suspicions.
Kiffex lay in Avance Coalition space but was under the assumed control of the New Republic. Avance was suspected to be responsible for the instability on Kiffex, but Grippa thought otherwise. A few weeks after the violence started, rumours of a coup d'etat in the New Republic began to surface. During this time more and more heavily armed freighters were arriving on Kiffex. Then, without warning, a Vigo of the crime organisation Black Sun announced that Kiffex was now under their direct control, and anyone who did not like it could leave or forfeit their life. Grippa tried to mount a rugged defence but with so many Guardians dead or divided through inter-clan conflict his efforts were in vain and Grippa left his home world, hoping one day to return.
With his life’s plans and inheritance ripped from him, Grippa became a refugee and joined a transport for the Imperial planet of Vakkar. Upon arrival at Vakkar Grippa sought employment, but with the influx of souls from the turmoil on Kiffex he was unsuccessful. As a last resort, and with a heavy heart, Grippa joined the Imperial Military Academy on Vakkar.
Grippa is known to have resigned from the 3rd Legion and taken citizenship in the Anzatan Commonwealth. Having secured a position within the military Grippa, after many years service Grippa rose to become a leading military and political figure writhin the Commonwealth.
With the amalgamation of the Tresario Star Kingdom and the Anzatan Commonwealth Grippa spent a very brief period within the Republican Medical Corp. This work proved to be boring and mundane, although for Grippa, thankfully brief.
