+++CHARACTER DATAFAX+++

Born on a voidship somewhere in Segmentum Obscurus, Jarex is a spacer born and bred. His true lineage is a big unknown, but by the time Barotta met him on Diamantina, he was a self-proclaimed Rogue Trader - without the Queen's Charter. 

His map to the Jericho Maw Warp gate proved most useful, and when Barotta found himself in need of a commercially inclined individual, he remembered Jarex, languishing under the Mad Queen's thumb. Truth be told, Jarex was the only trader he had really spoken to, so the shortlist was very short indeed.

Initially intended to traffic the future-past route to Vanity on his galleon, Jarex somehow ended up as the de facto head of all things commercial and trade-related. In fact, he has not visited the past even once and is unlikely to do so.

If you overlook his money-grubbing ways and lecherous attitude towards women, his constant lies and embellishments, and the childish need to award himself titles of all kinds, he's done - and is doing still - a tremendous job filling Barotta's coffers.
