Wendell Wright-Sims

Wendell Wright-Sims, a Human, was a well-to-do Coruscanti socialite and Imperial Center's premier spice dealer during the Galactic Civil War. Wright-Sims carried out his trade, despite its seemingly questionable nature on the Imperial capital, with the expressed permission of the Emperor himself, who used Wright-Sims' impeccable taste in quality spice to ensure his elite citizens indulged only in the finest product available in the galaxy. Wright-Sims therefore humbled himself before the Emperor's good graces and also paid dues to Dark Prince Xizor of the Black Sun crime syndicate, who prevented his own spice dealers from interfering in Wright-Sims' business as a professional courtesy. In turn, Wright-Sims frequently presented Xizor with several kilograms of the best-quality spice to maintain Black Sun's favor.

Wright-Sims did not indulge in his own merchandise, however, instead enjoying the extravagant lifestyle of Coruscant high society. He regularly attended elegant social functions with his spice-addicted, high-society Coruscanti clients as a means of ensuring he was catering to his market's needs. True to his nature as a Coruscanti socialite, Wright-Sims strove to maintain a fashionable, trendy appearance, both in dress and speech, studying to make sure he wore the day's latest styles and spoke with a practiced, cultured vernacular. A veritable master of the art of superficial flattery, Wright-Sims considered it part of his job to charm his addicted society peers so that he sold enough spice to live extremely comfortably.
