Merick Tel is an Outer Rim rat through and through. His family has lived out beyond the reach of the Galactic Republic and its successor state, the Galactic Empire, for uncountable generations. That is, until recently.  A former childhood friend and he ran afoul of the Empire some years back over a relatively trivial matter. But, a combination of a petty bureaucrat, a naive understanding of the Empire's corruption and depravity, and a stubborn Outer Rim dweller's personality led to the death of his friend and Merick Tel's arrest. He did escape shortly afterwards, but his eyes have since been open to the Empire's oppression of worlds that fall under its sway, and he has begun to see Imperial presences everywhere. 
Jax Bauer, whose real name is Jax Valen, is the son of Jedi knights Aayla Marh (mother) and Kass Valen (father). His mother Aayla met his father Kass while fighting at the Second Battle of Geonosis. At first they suppressed their feelings for each other but eventually they gave into those feelings. They left the Jedi Order in 20 BBY and married. Jax was born the following year (19 BBY) on the planet of Dantooine. After the destruction of the Jedi Order the family moved around the galaxy staying one step in front of the bounty hunters and Imperials. In 14 BBY they heard a rumor that the remaining Jedi were gathering to form a rebellion against the Empire. Jax mother Aalya could not be persuaded not go. She had set her mind trying to make a difference. She was never seen again. It was at this point that Jax’s father Kass decided to teach Jax the ways of the Force and train him as he had been trained in the Jedi Temple. Jax basically became an apprentice to his father. The continued to move around for another 11 years. Then while they were on Ord Mantell in the Mid Rim they ran into an old friend from the Republic days who claimed that he had seen Jax’s mother Aayla in a prison in the Kessel Sector. Kass knew this could be a trap but he had to try. He took his son Jax to Tatooine and left him with an old friend (Doctor Galus Zarn). Kass had saved Zarn's life many years earlier and they had become fast friends. Jax's father told him before he left to remember his training and to trust in the Force. He then left the planet and was never seen again. Jax stayed on Tatooine learning what he could from Dr. Zarn until he met the crew of the Flaming Cantina. He claimed he was competent mechanic in order to gain passage off of Tatooine.
 
Though not part of any Rebellion cell active in the galaxy, he has done his own 'terrorist' activities when he could.  Most recently, this led to his capture by Trex, a bounty hunter in Teemo the Hutt's employment. He was in a holding cell when the ship, the ''Krayt Fang'', was stolen by another group of adventurers with no love of Teemo or his gang. With little resources, he has joined this group in opposing Teemo and their company to do legitimate hauling. While he still hopes for an eventual overthrow of the Empire, he realizes that his time can be spent usefully as a part of this crew.  More intelligence, more resources, more contacts will all help to make him a better 'freedom fighter' is his line of thinking.
 
He is Force Sensitive, though he is unaware of this fact. While he realizes he is more sensitive to danger and can get impressions of someone in very close distance, he attributes this to simply being an observant student of sentient behaviour.  He talks of 'tells' that indicate what someone may be feeling or thinking, though this is almost always after-the-fact.  It is, in fact, the Force that gives him these insights, though his grasp and ability with it is very weak.
