Herec Vastor

Herec Vastor was the extremely intelligent serial killer who successfully committed over 22 murders collectively on Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa without a single person suspecting it was him. The true nature as to why he did these murders is unknown, although it was stated by one of his proxy droids that it was exacting vengeance for the Coruscantian Massacre.

As well as this, he also posed as a foolish boy who people believed to have a very severe form of learning disability, with absolutely no one sensing a lie in his act. Vastor used this to his advantage to continue killing whilst also tricking people into believing the killer was in fact an AI that took the form of multiple proxy droids that he in actuality built.

It is also known that his father was in fact Kelven, a CIS Commander during the Clone Wars who was most notably responsible for the nuclear decimation of multiple Outer Rim Republic bases and cities. Herec, as a child, was used as leverage by Republic Intelligence against Kelven in order to stop him from controlling Tatooine during Marrius' campaign on the planet.

He later died on Coruscant after succumbing to mortal wounds from the Inquisitor, the Third Sister, after a battle of wills with Val.

Before his death however, he requested that his brain was to be preserved and kept safe for future use. He was later found by the Uncloaked and placed in his masterwork droid known as Herec Prime, reborn anew.

Personality
Herec Vastor at an early age appeared to be a very regular, mild mannered boy with great interests in engineering and technology much like his own father. After being kidnapped by the corrupt group of Republic Intelligence however, coupled with the trauma of his father's death before his eyes rendered him scarred for life mentally and subsequently transformed him into a sociopath.

These sociopathic tendencies arose when he began manipulating everyone around him, posing as a person or people he was not in order to gain advantages in social situations or for his ulterior motives. This manipulativeness became more and more prominent to the point that no one knew his true nature when he began his serial killings. Ironically, Vastor had a great distaste for liars, yet used it to his own advantage. He also disliked people he perceived as intellectually inferior to him, believing people to be mere puppets and chess pieces for him to use in his games.

Vastor's only loyalty was to himself and never to anyone else. He had extreme trust issues with every person he came into contact with and would usually manipulate them in any case, sometimes just to make sure that they couldn't get back at him. In fact, the over reliance of himself lead to his eventual downfall, believing that no one could possibly best him, be it physically, intellectually or emotionally. This happened when Val infuriated him and made him lose control for a split second which resulted in his death.

It was his belief that his duty was to maintain "moral order" in the Nar Shaddaa underworld where there was little to none. He displayed tendencies of fairness and a heavy emphasis on justice during his serial killings, only killing those he deemed "irredeemable" and teaching others lessons on their hypocrisy. Herec fully believed that he was teaching others and criminals how to be more morally upstanding and better people, yet did so by any means necessary.

Powers and Abilities
Master Engineer: Vastor was able to build a large multitude of proxy droids whilst simultaneously building and operating his ingenious hologram drones. He was also able to build all kinds and ranges of hologram equipment such as the holotransmitter and shadow hologram technology. On top of this, he was also extremely effective in building fully cloaked drones as well as various other equipment. He was also able to create a one of a kind droid known as Herec Prime, which he would plan on placing his own brain into so that he could become a ceaselessly processing information artificial intelligence.

Expert Combatant: Serving time in the Imperial Special Forces black ops unit, Vastor became highly trained in various forms of martial arts as well as excelling in melee weaponry. He was so good in this aspect that he was able to close to instantly kill all of his victims on Nar Shaddaa with just melee techniques.

Expert Marksman: Another skill that Vastor was experienced in was marksmanship with all forms of ranged weapons. It is suggested it is on par with Kole Harpin after they fought together in a simulation.

Master Manipulator: One of Vastors main weapons was his ability to deceive not only with holograms but primarily by just talking with someone. He single handily convinced the masses that he was in fact an Artificial Intelligence that controlled the proxy droids, as well as manipulating many people into doing his bidding such as the time when he made Headhunter raid the Ravenscrag manor in order to kill Serphen Ravenscrag whilst knowing it would in the process, get rid of the Imperial presence from Nar Shaddaa. It is unknown if the story about him being an ex Imperial Black Operations agent is true, as is the same with his story of being brainwashed with the colour red, but if it is false, he was able to trick the Headhunter into believing this and thus masterfully playing everyone who knows anything about him.

Weaknesses
PTSD: Herec never recovered from the initial trauma of being held captive and his father dying before his eyes at a young age, which proved to be his downfall when a flood of emotions overcame him when Val spoke to him in their final confrontation.
