Varian Gelt

Varian Gelt is a Senator of the Galactic Republic representing his homeworld of Nubia.

Early Life
Varian was born on the quiet planet of Nubia to one of its colonizing families, the Gelts. His family was hardworking, having a role in nearly every aspect of Nubian life for as long as he could remember. Young Varian was raised with a silver spoon, never wanting for anything in life. He worked with his father, the Governor of Nubia as well as having spent time in the Junior Legislature program before attending college on Coruscant. Returning to Nubia and working with his father again, he even spent time serving with NubSec. Varian would unsuccessfully run to fill the office, after his father retired due to health. Varian was selected as a member of the next Governors Cabinet, representing Nubia in the Galactic Senate.

First Term
Varian's debut to the Senate was overshadowed by the ongoing Onderonian Crisis. The freshman Senator arrived to Coruscant just hours following the Emergency Session. While still a fresh face to the Senate Varian was able to secure the position of acting Vice Chair during the election of 7961 CRC. During this session Gelt also presented his first bill: Senate Bureau of Intelligence Act which after brief criticisms passed.

Personality and Traits
On Nubia Varian is well-loved for his kind and self-sacrificing nature, evident by his care and concern for all people regardless of their status. From a young age he exhibited great maturity and rarely indulged personal desires, such as romance. He is strong-willed and passionate, making him a persuasive and inspirational speaker. His firm belief in democracy and 'genuine' care for people easily wins him the hearts of many he comes into contact with..

But whether Varian is motivated by power, greed or an actual want to do good nobody can say. The man is an enigma, serving his own goals at all times while still pushing for ideas that promote the greater good. When a being is in need he will act without hesitation, doing everything in his power to do what he could for them. But nothing is ever free and Varian understands that. No good deed goes unpaid, as he likes to say.

He is a self described Philanthroteer.
