An immense, fur-covered warrior of great strength and loyalty, Chewbacca approaches everything with the intense ferocity so characteristic of Wookiee temperament, demonstrating a total commitment to defending those he has sworn to protect, and fighting those who challenge him as his enemy. He has seen and experienced much in his long years - the crushing subjugation when he was enslaved by the Empire, the reckless days of smuggling with his friend Han Solo, and his dramatic adventures as a Rebel Alliance fighter. Beneath the fearsome and savage countenance is a gentle and loving being, but, like all Wookiees, Chewbacca has a notoriously short temper and explodes into a berserker rage that cannot be halted until the opbject of his fury is sufficiently destroyed. Even though he is armed only with a bowcaster, he is a terrifying sight when he raises his huge, furred arm and points his weapon in a worldess gesture of fierce courage and searing defiance against all who threaten him or anyone under his mantle of protection.
