Detailed appearance. Imagery insufficient.

Casting a very imposing figure at two meters in height, Ikuyach's appearance is as fierce as his personality. His face is dotted with multiple scars, some more fresh than others. Several are remnants from his time in the gladiatorial games of his homeworld others are from his life as a pirate. There is a story to tell behind each one of them. His eyes are a fiery shade of grey, skin as white as chalk. On the sides of his head he has a symmetrical set of tattoos, three lines on each side. He has a golden nose piercing while his ears are dotted with similar golden earrings. His facial features are masculine with a sturdy jawline and a wide nose. He's missing a few teeth in his mouth, though one in his upper row has been replaced with a golden tooth. A frightening smirk frequently sits on his scarred lips.

Its rare to see Ikuyach not wearing his sturdy set of armor. Its a heavy set which provides protection suitable for an elite pirate. A medium length dark grey cape flows from the back, adding to his ensemble. The sigil of his pirate gang is painted on the right side of the chest plate. The helmet was taken off a Mandalorian bounty hunter who came for him years ago. He has since taken to wearing the fallen hunter's helm as a symbol of pride and victory.

Report on skills and talents, including level of skill.

Ikuyach has been trained to fight his entire life. He's an utterly fearsome opponent in combat, especially at close quarters where he excels in particular. He's elite when it comes to leading raids and battles head on.  He's knowledgeable in tactics and battle planning.
The pirate king is skilled and highly trained with a blaster, though is best in direct combat as opposed to with long ranger blaster rifles.
Every since he was a boy Ikuyach was taught the importance of melee weaponry, his favorite choice is his vibrosword. He's a lethal duelist with it, able to carve up his opponents with glee. While not superhuman his reflexes and ability with the swords is well known.
His race's existence practically thrives around martial ability, and as such he knows several forms of martial arts. Coupled with his large frame, athleticism and pure strength he's very tough to handle even unarmed. He's in top physical shape and is quicker on his feet than he appears.
Ikuyach has been fighting across the galaxy for a long time, he's gained the total admiration and respect of the pirates in his gang. He rules with an iron fist and goes unquestioned. He does not get frazzled in battle nor take casualties on his side with much regard.
He's an experienced and capable starfighter pilot, though not at an elite level. In recent years he's found it less common to get behind the controls of his personal starfighter for space combat
He's not a simple oof, Ikuyach is a shrewd businessman and more intelligent than he appears. He's done business dealings with Hutts and other fierce negotiators but always gets a good deal for himself and his followers. He has a charisma to his words, and when that doesn't work can threaten very well.
He does not fear easily having faced death many times and suffered a brutal share of pain in his lifetime. Its very difficult to intimidate Ikuyach or cause him to change course through threats or intimidation. He knows in his lifestyle that death very well may be right around the corner, he does not fear dying.

Report on known combat experience, training and weapons training.

Ikuyach has led his gang for almost a decade and a half now, he's seen an abundance of combat situations across the galaxy. He's truly knowledgeable when it comes to battle but is best with blaster rifles and scatterguns. He's capable with pistols and sniper rifles but simple better with the more rapid firing, fearsome armament.  Much of his formative years were spent in the gladiatorial pits of Rattatak where he first learned how to kill. There he was taught to fight with his bare-hands as well as with melee weaponry. Ikuyach can cut down men with his vibrosword and is experienced with other types of bladed and blunt weaponry. The pirate lord has led many raids in his time, including boardings of vessels and assaults on weakly defended outposts. His time in mercenary work has given him experience on the frontlines in wars across the galaxy. He's had to fight every day of his life and it shows on the battlefield. 

Where can the criminal—or evidence leading to the criminal’s capture—be turned in?
 Ikuyach has a very large outstanding bounty with the Galactic Republic.

List of known crimes and violations.

Ikuyach has a laundry list of offenses, the most frequent being acts of piracy, theft, kidnapping, human trafficking, assault, murder, slavery/slave trading and robbery. It would take a long time to properly calculate the amount of crimes he's committed across the galaxy. Someone doesn't reach his status without having done a ton of terrible things. 

Detailed notes on known rivals and enemies.

Vinis Korden - A former top level underling of Ikuyach's, Vinis betrayed the pirate king and fled to parts unknown. The circumstances of the man's betrayal left a very bad taste in Ikuyach's mouth and its some business he'd very much like to finish.
While not every Mandalorian has a vendetta against him, Ikuyach has had several run ins with Mandalorian bounty hunters. He wears the helmet of the first one he slayed and seems to be a frequent target for the daring bounty hunters amongst the bravest Mandalorians.
The Galactic Republic has a pretty massive bounty against Ikuyach, as well as lesser bounties on various ranking members of the Void Stars. He does not deal with Republic personal, nor tend to associate with anyone with ties to them.

List and description of known associates, accomplices and contacts.

The Void Stars - The pirate gang which he founded, rules and leads with total authority. Their member count numbers at almost ---- men. Each man has a person starfighter, and the gang itself owns several larger vessels. Though only one which can be considered a capital ship. A healthy wealth of credits is to their name as well, a number which is ever increasing due to raids, the slave trade, mercenary work, spice dealing and black market arms trading. The gang is not only composed of pirates and raiders, Ikuyach has made sure to bring in some more technically minded personnel.
Ikuyach and by extension, his gang have regular dealings with the Hutt cartel. They are the most frequent trade partners of the Void Stars. When they raid a ship or settlement they'll often ship off captives to the Hutts as slaves. They have a strong partnership with the Hutts.
Ikuyach has contacts within the Sith Empire, though he has not dealt with them in person that often. They maintain a line of communication, and some of his pirates have fought in skirmishes and battles as hired guns or ships for the Empire.
He has some spies within Republic space who monitor movements of the military.

List of known belongings, including but not limited to planetary surface property, civilian and military vessels, vehicles, weapons, tools.

The Scourge of Rattatak - The flagship of the Void Stars' fleet, a salvaged Interdictor-class cruiser. It was one of the most numerous capital ships during the Jedi civil war. The Scourge has been recovered, repurposed and repaired extensively by the Void Stars. The massive vessel is 600 meters in length, with a large hangar ideal for carrying starfighters. Though the ship is still a work in progress in several ways, it has been a colossal undertaking. At its current state it is fully capable of hyperspace travel and seamless travel, while its frame has largely been built. The weapons systems are still being installed, as well as additional systems. It also lacks a working gravity well. Even in this state it serves as an ideal mobile base of operations for the Void Stars, with around the clock work ensuring the restoration and repairs will be perfect.
The Corsair - An Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, it serves as Ikuyach's personal starfighter. It is the only ship that he will fly on raids and in battle. He has been in possession of the ship for years and it has served him excellently. He's paid for a upgraded hyperdrive as well as stronger shielding, while ensuring not an ounce of speed has been lost in the fighter. Its painted chalk white, with several black markings across it, like a Rattataki.
CZR-9001 blaster rifle - Its Ikuyach's main blaster and was manufactured by Czerka Corporation. He has customized it with a forward grip and short range scope. Its a strong all around blaster rifle, serving him well in battle.
A-116 Marksman Enforcer - His sidearm, its a pretty standard blaster pistol. Accurate while packing a punch, an ideal sidearm.
Last Lament - His trusted vibrosword, he has had it since his gladitorial days on Rattatak where it has been on his hip ever since. The grip is a fine leather, with jewels adorning handle. Ikuyach is is obsessive with keeping the blade sharpened, its his weapon of choice when committing executions.

Psychological evaluation of the criminal.

To say that Ikuyach is one of the most despicable criminals in the galaxy is an understatement. He's a horrific being, with even more horrifying tales of his many criminal deeds following his every step. The pirate king has a psychopathic streak, displaying no conscience in his actions. A pattern of sadism follows him, aimed at anyone he views as a threat or an enemy. He's a bully who uses intimidation as a weapon more freely than the vibrosword on his belt. He has no qualms with picking on people far weaker than him and harming innocents, routinely leading pillages of settlements which rack up brutal body counts. His philosophy is similar to the Sith's in that he believes the weak should be crushed under foot by the strong, either snuffed out or taken advantage of until there's nothing left. His actions are unpredictable, he sometimes just turns on a dime and casually wrecks havoc, smiling the whole way. 

There's few admirable qualities to such a needlessly brutal, unpredictable man. He does show respect towards those that give him a difficult fight, frequently granting quick deaths to them. A holdover from his gladiatorial days on Rattatak. Its rare for him to tell a lie, speaking with an assertive bluntness that further conveys his narcissism. He does genuinely show care for his loyal gang members, though treats betrayal mercilessly. He does not discriminate when it comes to recruiting new members, anyone that shows they can fight, displays total loyalty and survives the initiation is happily welcomed into the gang. Ikuyach presents himself as a calm, composed figure, especially at first encounters with others.  

List and description of suspected/known flaws, vices and weaknesses.
As one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy he constantly has a target on his back. The Republic is gunning for him as well as any truly daring bounty hunter. He has a very familiar face to many, which draws attention practically wherever he goes. He has an extremely bad reputation.
Ikuyach is a megalomaniac, he's worked his entire life to reach his position and is truly obsessed with continuing to grow his power. Even simple questions of his decisions are met with total harshness. He holds an egotistical, pompous view of himself.
His anger is well known, at the flick of a switch he can go from composed to a furious ball of destructive rage.
He's blunt to a callous degree, seeing no reason to sugar coat his words to most people. This tends to offend some people.
He delights in his misdeeds, and truly enjoys the most terrible aspects of the pirate lifestyle. The Rattataki kills without remorse, and happily enslaves those captured without a single regret. He overall shows no regret for any of his actions. He has a well known sadist streak.
He bullies and intimidates anyone that stands in his way, or anyone that goes against him. Mercy is not a trait found upon his people, and this particularly rings true for the pirate king.
He's unpredictable to deal with, when one agrees to work with him they never know what it might lead to. His actions are often so chaotic it’s impossible to know what he may do next.
He has few true friends and is incredibly manipulative of people around him. Ikuyach always tries to twist people and situations to his advantage.
Ikuyach tends to leave a wake of destruction wherever he and his pirate band hit and he holds no regard for collateral damage. Battles involving him and his crew often escalate and spiral in the scale of destruction.
He's someone that enjoys drinking, especially when celebrating. He also has a nasty Spice addiction, which he keeps a secret from most of his underlings.

SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

House Greyjoy

The seagulls screeched as waves slammed against the colossal approaching Ironborn warship, galloping through the waters at a determined pace. The imposing seafaring ship was flanked by a sleeker longship on each side. The aptly named Iron Leviathan led the trio of vessels, as the sun shined brightly upon its blackened wood decks. The wind roared against the towering sails, carrying it across the sea towards the port of Gulltown. The gusts seemed to sing songs of the Drowned God on the day of the tournament. Embroiled on the black sails was the legendary sigil of the Greyjoys, a golden kraken. It seem as if the kraken's eyes were set upon Gulltown as the trio of Ironborn ships approached. Glaring with desire and hunger for glory as the vessels made their approach. For generations the sight of Ironborn ships approaching the coast was a terrifying prospect for the land dwelling denizens, a certain sign of impending pillaging and raiding. This trio came with only peaceful intentions, as the young Lord Eldred Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands gazed upon Gulltown with wonder from his position on the deck aboard the Iron Leviathan. Around him his crewmen walked and worked, lobbying playful insults at each other as they pulled closer to their destination.

"My lord, it appears we're arriving just in time." The familiar voice of Uller Goodbrother stated, the elder Ironborn lord standing firm with a slight smile etched on his weathered features. He wiped the sweat from his thick grey mustache then motioned for the crewmen behind them to slow in their approach. As Eldred turned his head to reply a detachment of the crew scrambled to control the sails, adjusting their approach accordingly. Their boots echoed hard against the sturdy floors of the warship. 

"I know, don't you see all the banners flying in the harbor? This tournament is gonna be far grander than I expected it to be." Eldred replied as he tried to hide the nervousness in his words. Apart from the visiting ships from around the realm, there were a multitude of other vessels. Merchants from across the narrow sea, travelers from Essos and who knew wherever else. It was what he dreamed to make Pyke to be like, a center of trade. 

"Do you see Lannister red and gold, my lord? Maybe your lion bride is here. Maybe she'll give you a big wet kiss when she sees you." Uller stated, the words followed with a wider smile as he patted Eldred on the shoulder. 

"You're hilarious, Uller. The funniest man in the Iron Islands." Eldred smirked, shaking his head slightly. Lord Uller was an old friend of his father's, every hair on his head was greyed but his wit was still sharp. Someone that Eldred had gone to in the past for advice, in addition to being one of the most powerful lords in the Iron Islands under the Greyjoy banner. 

"That's not saying much though." Uller added as Eldred moved to the side, raising his arm up towards the Ironborn longship to his left. He met the gaze of his younger sister Ryka, as the proud Ironborn beauty issued a nod in reply. Clad in a clean set of leather armor, the kraken branded on her right breastplate, Ryka looked more fit for battle than socializing. Behind her, the crewmen of Grey Retribution roared as they rowed, pushing through the tides.  

Ryka was his heir, headstrong and standoffish but carried that brilliant Ironborn determination. Part of him wished that she would find a potential groom during this tournament. But he would never pressure her, she knew her what her duty was. Eldred almost pitied her future husband, the thought of some stuffy lord having to deal with her never-ending boldness. He never hoped he would end up like that, some fat stuffy lord with only oodles of gold and a reputable family name to back otherwise unwarranted pride. As Eldred walked to the other side of the Iron Leviathan his eyes once more caught side of the approaching Bay of Crabs. It caused him to momentarily pause in his stride as he stared at the momentous mountains in the distance. They had no sights like that in the Iron Islands. He pulled himself away to attend to the other longship where his uncle Harren stood at the helm.

The bald Greyjoy hollered orders to the men of Balon's Fury rowing fiercely behind him, too focused to lock eyes with Eldred. His uncle may have been the toughest man in the family. He was a natural inclusion for their journey across the seas to Gulltown, he knew that Harren would keep the Ironborn in line once they docked. Though Eldred had soundly laid out the law beforehand as a proper lord always did. He didn't need one of his people getting into a brawl and cause a commotion among his fellow lords. A clear mind was necessary for this type of event, even though Eldred did not plan to participate in the jousting. His gameplan today was diplomacy and building friendships. As the Iron Leviathan pulled into the docks Eldred walked from the main deck, followed by Lord Uller. 

"Hope you brought your manners today." Eldred stated as his eyes followed some finely dressed noblemen walking across the busy streets of the port. He wasn't nearly as dressed up as they were, Ironborn weren't known for flowing gowns of silk. He wore a simple but eye-pleasing set of dark grey clothes befitting an Ironborn lord, his sword in its sheath on his belt. Uller had opted for a set of armor, as did many of the other Ironborn. 

"Always. But you're the one doing the charming today, my lord. I have faith in you, all of the Iron Islands does. You can even use some of my jokes if you want, I know a great one involving a Valeman and a goat." The veteran Ironborn lord stated with a laugh and a nod as the anchor dropped. Eldred was the first man off the ship, flanked by Uller. 

"I think I'm good on that end." The young lord said with a laugh as he stood on the docks, having turned once more to the sea. The waves crashed into each other as Eldred took a deep breath, composing himself. He would make his father proud today if the man could see it, he'd make his people even prouder. He was pulled from his moment of self affirmation by a firm hand on his back courtesy of his sister.

"Lets go, you can't spend all day on the docks." Ryka teased, then followed her brother as they left the comfortable confines of their ships behind.
