Thursden Aldrixx

Thursden Aldrixx is a Performer, Scoundrel, and beloved member of the Burlap Sack Gang.

Appearance and Basic Information
Aldrixx is a male Theelin, with mottled white/pink skin and three horns protruding at either temple. He wears his greasy blue hair down to the nape of his neck and sports a trademark Van Dyke goatee. He wears a lightly singed and frequently dirty burgundy-colored Nomad Greatcoat stretched tightly over his massive gut and regularly carries a vibrorapier, a Corellian cutlass, and two dueling pistols. Aldrixx is noticeably obese.

Occupation and Life Before the Gang
Aldrixx has, on many occasions and despite all evidence to the contrary, insisted that he is "the most fearsome space pirate captain in this sector... and several other sectors." Certainly his association with the Burlap Sack gang makes him a smuggler of sorts, but it is clear (to anyone not beguiled by his Convincing Demeanor) that before encountering our heroes Aldrixx was no pirate at all.

In truth, before he created the persona of a dashing space pirate captain, Aldrixx was a third-rate stage actor, performing with a traveling theatrical company. Though his fellow actors were similarly reviled as thespians, Aldrixx's drunken antics and unwarranted braggadocio eventually gained the ire of the other company members. After a secret vote, the other members shoved an unconscious Thursden into one of their ship's escape pods and ejected him in the Outer Rim.

First Encounter
The Burlap Sack Gang first encountered Aldrixx crash-landed in the deserts of Tattooine. As they pulled him from the burning wreckage of his escape pod, Aldrixx immediately rushed back in, desperate to rescue "Whyren", still trapped inside. The gang assisted in the rescue, only to discover that Aldrixx was referring to a large cask of Whyren's Reserve Special Corellian Whiskey.

The rest of the group was visibly exasperated by this, but Thursden, not to be dissuaded, insisted that the encounter was destiny. He affably insinuated himself into the group and went along to their first meeting with the crime-lord Keshaala, where he memorably charmed the whole cantina by singing the classic smuggler's ballad "The Empty Cargo Bay"

It was, for better or worse, an indication of things to come.

Meta Trivia
Thursden Aldrixx bears an almost exact resemblance to renowned French film actor Gerard Depardieu. His voice sounds much like that of sketch character Sir Digby Chicken Caesar
