#2 in the Sith Beer Alliance who aspires to be #1, meaning he has to oust Lord Oasthouse. He is the one who sent Fermen Taye to our sector of the Galaxy to discover what he could. Darth Malt actually does not care if Fermen is alive or dead, he just wants the beer and the power it will give him.
Character Background
Currently #2 in the Beer Alliance, Brewmaster Darth Malt lays claim to Beer Scout Fermen Taye Locke, and is very chuffed with himself that his brilliant vision and foresight has led him to entrust Fermen with this most delicate of missions which is now bearing fruit. The reported properties of the ales in his latest batches of reports indicate that these ales and brews would handily beat out all the competing Beer Alliance entries in the upcoming Beer and Wine Shindig – a triumph Darth Malt has been desperately seeking to finally oust Lord Oasthouse from his station as Top Brew Master..
Personally taking charge of this mission to ensure proper procurement of this precious and delicate elixir is top priority, and top secret ultra-speed research vessels have been commandeered to provide lickety-split transport to this back-water planet in this outlying arm of a rather poor and dilapidated neighborhood of a third rate galaxy.
The Beer Alliance is a convenient cover for you and your master’s activities as Sith Lords.
FAQ
Why are you on Earth?
I heard about the potential font of power to be found here that had thus remained undiscovered and sent my apprentice to find it for me and report back.
What is Lord Oasthouse to You?
I am apprenticed under Lord Oasthouse. I crave my master’s power. As a BrewMaster, of course.
What is your relation to Fermen?
I found that Jedi drop-out Fermen Taye Locke and am training him to be my own secret apprentice, who I have enlisted in an effort to overthrow my master.
Tell me about the Fermen
That apprentice disappeared and I can no longer sense his presence. Did Lord Oasthouse find out about my plan, or this elixir, and have Fermen killed?
Info on Others
Fermen Taye Locke
My secret apprentice. He is a former Jedi and a subject of the Genesty (a cult of genetic zealots). He’s not great in the force but through the power of the dark side… maybe.
Lord Oasthouse
My Sith Master. He has made an appearance and is also under guise as a brewmaster. I’m certain he sent the assassin to kill Fermen. It must be his doing.
Queen Esters Tannin
The Queen Consort of a distant planet. Here to try and marry the princess off into the Genesty cult. Was very upset, possibly wrathful when Fermen refused her.
Princess Amylase Tannin
A political pawn which the Queen is trying to sacrifice to the Genesty cult. Was very derogatory toward Fermen, expressed desire to see him gone
Wee Heavy the Mutt
Known as something akin to a media influencer, I have hired him to spread nasty rumors about Lord Oasthouse’s brewery. Might be here to make a profit on the elixir, could have done Fermen in if he found out about it.
Carbo Nashun
I presume he was hired by the Genesty to retrieve Fermen. They usually do this alive, but sometimes the target dies in the process.
Lauter Tun
I’m somewhat familiar with him, he’s a favored tool of my master’s. I suspect my master found out about my secret apprentice and sent Lauter to kill one or both of us.
