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. 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.
