Joey Bindel

Joey Bindel was a music producer and talent scout for Decka Recordings after washing up as a used speeder salesman. While some people would call Joey a sleazeball, he was known to have a moral conscious to do the right thing in the long run, even if he would end up on the losing side. But overall, Joey was known for trying different scams and angles at every turn, always trying to make a few credits.

Early Life
Born on Bescane to a family of factory workers, Joey Bindel dreamed of making lots of credits some day and living in the lap of luxury. Without hesitation, Joey left Bescane and began wandering the galaxy in search of his fortune.

Later Life
Over the years, Joey traveled the Outer Rim Territories, getting involved in various scams and underworld activities. Luckily, he befriended a slave by the name of Farrouk on the planet, Darthin. Using the credits that he had amassed and winning a game of sabacc, Joey was able to buy Farrouk from his owner and set the man free.

Farrouk became Joey’s unofficial bodyguard, in a sense. From that day forward, Joey always had Farrouk with him, watching over him. The two men went about their business, trying to find their next payday.

Over the years, Joey worked as the manager for Ala Mystique, a rising music star in the Outer Rim. By this time, Joey was living the good life, with almost celebrity status. Unfortunately, Joey mishandled a booking of a concert on Palmeara which caused him to have to pay almost all of his personal wealth to cover the cost losses. Ala promptly fired Joey on the spot also, as her own career began to spiral downward.

Using what little capital he was able to get from selling off his property, Joey and Farrouk found themselves back on Darthin, trying to sell used speeders.

After a couple years of failing in the used vehicle business, Joey was about ready to sell it all to the Nihtrad Crime Syndicate. He was recognized by a gambler that knew his reputation as Ala Mystique’s manager. The lone gambler offered Joey a job as a producer and talent scout in his company, Decka Recordings. Joey accepted and began his new job with zeal, feeling like it could be his ticket back into the good life.

Selling his speeder lot, Joey also took a loan from Nihtrad to begin building his part in Decka Recordings. While it was a struggle, Joey managed to stay on the good side of Nihtrad, paying back his loan payments.

Ticket to Success
Joey had a lucky break shortly after hiring on with Decka Recordings. Being on Palmeara, Joey ran across a struggling Ala Mystique, who was trying to restore her music career, but without success. The two managed to patch up their relationship and Ala agreed to sign on with Decka in an attempt to jump-start her singing career again.

Appearance and Personality
Joey was a human male of average build and height. Joey was often described as a typical “used speeder salesman.”

Joey tried to always play himself off as a ladies’ man and a very cultured individual, even though he fit into the galactic underworld well and was very rough around the edges.
