History:
Khano's parents were both Republic soldiers in the Great galactic war. His father was a combat medic, and his mother was a sniper. (She was the one who taught Khano how to fire a blaster.) After the war they essentially became hippies and settled on a back corner of Dantooine where they grow the Long-Leaf.
Khano was a tall, wiry kid who wouldn't stop talking. His older sister usually bossed him around and never approved of his shenanigans.
When he got older and began to grow bigger and more hardy, Khano was put to work for his father and spent his summers trimming his father's crops, then accompanying him on deliveries and drop offs. When he got old enough, he started doing the rounds himself.
Khano had a penchant for getting in trouble, and in his late teens, he ended up leaving home to work with a smuggler crew who regularly ran spice.
He has a good relationship with his parents and visits them regularly.
Personality: Khano is laid-back, flirtatious, and charismatic. It is hard not to like him. He possesses a sharp wit, laughs frequently, and is usually seen smirking. He does, however, exude a sort of "bad boy" vibe. In his smuggler days he slept around, drank a lot, dabbled in spice. As a married man, he is a doting father and a loyal husband. He is a lot smarter than he lets on.

Habits: Khano enjoys smoking the long-leaf, usually what his father grows. He rarely smokes tobac. Social drinker. He requires caf in the morning to function.
Fears: Losing his hair
Trivia: Khano is left handed. He was named after his paternal grandfather. His eye colour is a genetic trait on his father's side, which he passed on to his own daughter.
