Dorlan

Background
The Prelian criminal Dorlan was discovered hiding out on the derelict Chon defense outpost, which later became Deep Space Starlight. Although Dorlan was extremely friendly and willing to share any information he had in exchange for protection from "them", he was not very forthcoming about his own background. After First Contact was made with the Prelian people, "them" was discovered to be the Eagan Republic. Apparently Dorlan was wanted on numerous charges, many of them minor, but enough that the Prelians had to banish Dorlan from his homeworld in an attempt to keep the Eagan from attacking Prelion. Dorlan has offered his services as "procurement" specialist and cultural liaison in the T'burad region to the Federation contingent. Seeing as how the Federation is new to this area of the galaxy, they have taken Dorlan up on his offer.

Personality and Appearance
Like all Prelians, Dorlan is shorter than the average human, with greyish-purple skin, black hair and black eyes. The short whiskers on the end of his proboscus make him look like he has a small mustache. Though he is a wanted man, he is actually very friendly and outgoing, even to strangers. He has a slight hunch, noticable mostly when he is walking. His voice has a peculiar sound to it, like he has something permanently stuck in his throat. People either get used to it quickly, or avoid Dorlan, because talking is what Dorlan does best. He feels most at ease when he thinks he is being useful, or contributing in some way. Just don't ask him to do any physical work.
