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.
Though not part of any Rebellion cell active in the galaxy, he has done his own 'terrorist' activities when he could. At one point he was captured 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, and has become aware of this due to Jax's use of the Force. He has taken well to lightsaber training, particularly in the Soresu technique, in which he excels. His command of the Force is still weak, though he has honed his Sense abilities to the point where he can avoid shots and blows by sensing where they will be a split-second before they happen. He is also learning to apply the Force to his physical abilities with traditional Jedi athletics training in the cargo bay while in hyperspace.
He has conducted a deal to clear his bounty by the Empire in exchange for owing the Bounty Hunter's guild. This amount is still outstanding.
