Cosco

Cosco is the benevolent owner of Shatter and Weld Pawn, and friend to the Starfinder Federation Union. He repairs all of the pawned goods himself, and sells them at a discounted price in order to compete with some of the larger chains that have been invading the Freemarkets. As such, he does not live a particularly lavish life, but he seems content with what he has, particularly with the workshop in the back of his store.

Personality
Cosco tends to speak in a booming voice, possibly intimidating those unacquainted with him. However, he is friendly and treats new faces as if they all stood on equal ground. He does harbor a certain resentment towards larger corporations in particular, though this emotion does not display itself very frequently. Cosco acts somewhat like an uncle to those younger than him, taking up the role of a protector or mentor. Cosco appears to be generally Good in alignment, and his general actions indicate that he's Lawful as well.

Aptitudes and Flaws
Though Cosco is an outgoing person, he can tend to be socially inept. He is typically able to read the room, but often fails to pick up on smaller social cues. Cosco is by no means unintelligent, but his sphere of understanding quickly wanes when leaving the topics of business or machinery.

Physical Description
Cosco has a very large frame, and towers over most other humans at 6' 3". He sports a beer gut as well, but the rest of his body shows an array of muscles lies under the outer layer. His skin is olive-toned, and a pair of green eyes lies in deep sockets. His natural hair color is black, but infrequent splotches are been bleached or dyed, presumably from various chemical spills while working in the shop. His hair is styled so that he has three unkempt faux-hawks which connect at the back of his head, while the rest is shaved down to just wisps. Cosco often wears a worn out leather vest over a stained apron, exposing his hairy chest and stomach. Cosco has no obvious visible augmentations.

Jack
Cosco has hired Jack of the Starfinder Federation Union as a part-time employee. He always needs help in the shop, and Jack's mechanical expertise is useful for repairing items that are brought in. The two definitely get along, despite the contrast in their personalities.

Ceren
Cosco does not have a deep personal relationship with May F. Lower, but he vouches for the old woman under her new identity as May F. Lower. In order to protect and forge a new life for her, Cosco agreed to pretend that she was an employee and long-time friend.

Introduction
The party first met Cosco after their first foray into the Freemarkets. They decided to stop in during Kreel's Investigation, in order to both buy new equipment and collect information. Although he had no information for them, Cosco was happy to sell them goods, and even let Jack work off the price of some items.
