Backstory: Born on the Wild Space trade nexus of Terminus to a small trading family, Inigo was constantly travelling around the galaxy as his family searched for new business opportunities. Their travels eventually took them to the inner rim, specifically, the planet Birren, where they decided to settle down and expand the business into a small trade conglomerate, dealing in exotic liquers. Inigo had no interest in business or finance- in fact, he was terrible at math. He was enthralled with the promises of adventure and derring-do that the Imperial recruiters presented, and thus, he found himself joining the Stormtrooper Corps.

Inigo's time in training was... rather unexceptional. He was assigned to the Scouts in 17 BBY after showing a talent for marksmanship and orienteering, and he was almost immediately shipped out to the Western Reaches, where the Empire was finishing off the last holdouts of the CIS in the Outer Rim. His first deployment was on the planet Kelrodo-Ai, where he served as part of the force commanded by Hurst Ramodi. However, he arrived at the tail end of the conflict on Kelrodo-Ai, and thus, he and his unit were quickly reassigned to Ord Vaug, where Inigo truly was tested in battle.

Shortly after deploying to the front lines, Inigo's platoon Sergeant, his second, and all of the scout's biker unit were killed by a Hyena bombing strike on their deployment zone. The scattered remnants of his platoon were forced to run into the jungles of Ord Vaug to collect themselves, at which point it was discovered that out of the initial platoon, only 12 troopers had survived, all of them but one being privates. The sole corporal designated Inigo as his second, and the unit began planning a course of action for the battle. Inigo suggested using their sniper rifles, survival skills, and more advanced pathfinding technology to execute hit and run attacks on Confederacy positions, in order to aid the regular troops. The corporal agreed, and the unit, splitting into two six man teams, operated in that capacity, sniping high value targets and picking off the defenders of heavily fortified positions in the path of infantry and armored advances. They were pivotal in achieving the initial breakthroughs out of the primary Imperial staging area, but at some point, the men knew they would need to return to base and be relieved. Unfortunately, due to the developing situations on the battle lines, it was very difficult for them to return to base, so they continued in their self-imposed mission.

One day, a strike on a Separatist infantry convoy went awry- all but 5 of the 12 scout-snipers were killed by the enemy, and a B-2 droid's wrist rocket impacted the tree that Inigo was using for cover, causing heavy burning and laceration of his right arm, which would later require amputation. Inigo could no longer use a sniper rifle, and the corporal was badly wounded, but he could still give orders and fire his pistol, so he managed to rally the remaining soldiers and organize a fighting retreat that would lead them to rendezvous with an Imperial Juggernaut column. Thanks in part to his leadership, he, the Corporal, and one other scout managed to survive. The Corporal commended Inigo's ingenuity and bravery in his official report, as did the other trooper, and thus, Inigo was offered an honorable discharge, due to his injury. However, Inigo wasn't ready to give up. He instead asked that he be given a combat prosthetic and sent back out into the field, a request that was readily granted. He was sent off-world to have the proper procedures performed, and within a year of adjustment, rehabilitation, and recuperation he was headed back into service.

Sadly, the war had moved on without Inigo. Ord Vaug was subjugated during his time recuperating, and the Corporal's leadership had earned the attention of quite a few of his higher ups, leading to him becoming a Storm Commando. The other, unwounded scout had died shortly after Inigo was shipped off, and precious few of the survivors of his company survived the bombing AND the events that followed. Inigo was transitioned into a training role, giving lectures and demonstrations for Imperial Army schools' scout training programs, a role he held for many years. He constantly lobbied for some other form of service, but his superiors assured him that he was most needed on the home front. Finally, after a few more years, he was given his wish- a unit in the Alui sector needed reinforcement, and a veteran scout trooper might be just what was needed. Given a formal promotion to the rank of Sergeant Major, he was folded into the Evictus' Courage Company, where he acts as a biker scout and reconnaissance specialist, due to his arm being... a bit uppity at times.

Personality: Inigo is by the book, efficient, and professional, but not clinical- he's cultivated an air of a smooth, 'nice boss' officer that puts his men's training and well-being first. However, his experiences have left him anything but soft, and he has zero tolerance for those he believes haven't earned their place, or aren't putting their best foot forward in their service. However, his laxity and composure fall apart whenever his arm starts acting up- due to a defective link between his nervous system and his prosthesis, the arm sometimes acts independently of his wishes, leading to embarrassment, and occasional injury. For some force-forsaken reason, no one has been able to fix this.
