Name: Zirex. ((Last name unknown.))

Species: Weequay

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Rebels

Appearance: Standing at 6'4, Zirex looks like a typical Weequay from below his head. He has quite a few scars on his body from previous skirmishes with Imperials. His face is badly scarred on the left side and he wears a cybernetic eye implant on the right side after he lost his eye after getting into a brawl with a group of Stormtroopers in a bar.

Equipment: Dark Blue Mandalorian battle armor that at one point was badly damaged during an altercation with a group of thugs in a bar. Heavy repeating Mandalorian rifle, Two Mandalorian heavy blasters, a Vibrosword and field rations.

Background: Zirex was a member of a small group of Mandalorian mercenaries that were often hired out to wealthy individuals who were often associated with the Rebellion who needed to get the job done quickly and with a minimum of civilian bloodshed. They had adopted an altered version of the warrior's code which dated back to the days of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. They vowed to hold onto honor above all else, even the principles of warfare. The Rebellion against the Empire was a good source of credits and honor alike for the members of the small organization known as The Blood Stars. They often fought against Imperial forces while managing to keep the civilian casualties to a bare minimum. Eventually, word of the organization began to reach the upper reaches of the Imperial command who decided that they were too dangerous to be allowed to live.

Imperial Intelligence managed to turn a member of The Blood Stars with promises of massive amounts of credits and advanced weaponry and armor while also promising to wipe away his crimes against the Empire so he would no longer have to fear Imperial retribution. The traitor agreed without hesitation and was instructed to tell the other members of the organization about "The opportunity of a lifetime on Balmorra," where there would be credits and honor for everyone.

It took little convincing for the others to accept the job after all, one of their own would never betray them or so they thought. It was around a week after that the Mandalorians arrived on Balmorra. They were tasked with securing the Balmorran arms factory from Imperial forces who managed to overrun it or so the Mandalorians had been told. They were halfway to the factory when Imperial troops appeared all around them with weapons loaded. It was then that the traitor revealed his new allegiance by uttering a single word.

"Fire."

Although the Mandalorians were caught unaware in a trap, they were able to find cover and managed to take down a number of Imperial troops before they were finally killed by sheer overwhelming numbers. Only Zirex survived and he was left for dead by the traitor and his Imperial allies. He was able to reach an abandoned homestead where he was able to recover enough to hunt the Balmorran wilds for food as he steadily grew stronger. It took many months but he was able to leave Balmorra on a transport ship and dedicated himself to two things.

Restore the honor of both himself and his fallen comrades.
Kill the traitor at all costs.

Reason for Joining the Empire/Alliance:
Revenge against both the traitor.
Revenge against the Empire in general.
Restoring his honor and those of his deceased comrades.
Try and forge a new path for himself.
