Legend

this fashionable, sable-furred Wookiee was a friend and first mate to Shamus Falconi. Grasheel always was on the leading edge of fashion, and often wore his fur braided with gems or trinkets. Large earrings, scarves, and jewelry were constantly changing his appearance. Many people are frightened by Wookiees, and the sight of a brightly-jeweled beast is often unsettling. Many of the jewels and trinkets braided into his fur had special, personal meanings. A large hoop earring was given to him by a Socorran smuggler. This habit was formed at an early age, when Grasheel was sold into slavery. Any possessions he did not keep close to his body were stolen. He maintained the habit after he was rescued by a group of Algor pirates, from whom he learned starship engineering. After a strange occurrance in a spacer bar called the Airlock, Grasheel ended up owning half of the Lumrunner, and he found himself in business with Shamus Falconi. Their partnership was a long and fruitful one, as they plied the spcae lanes of the Minos Cluster.
