Name: Xan Dorak
Occupation: Freelance Mercenary and Vigilante
Affiliation: None
Race: Volus
Gender: Male
Age: Thirty-one Years
Height: 3’6” in armor
Suit Description:
Xan Dorak wears a custom suit of heavy armor. The primary color is black, and the edges of each plate of armor are royal purple. The eye, mouth, and indicator lights are all blue. This suit retains the traditional volus look, but it is built more heavily, in some ways resembling krogan gear.
This armor is heavily outfitted for combat, including a unique dual-layer system that guarantees that all but the most severe suit-punctures do not result in depressurization fatalities. Small boost jets have been installed in the boots and other parts of the armor. These do not afford advantages over the natural abilities of most other species, but they do allow him to keep up with others over difficult terrain and make him competitive in close-range and hand-to-hand engagements. His right gauntlet has an omni-blade longer than average at the cost of being thinner than average, to compensate for his size.
History:
The mother and father of Xan Dorak were killed in front of him during a pirate raid when he was only five years old, executed via suit puncture. Xan, hiding in a vent, was able to survive. The pirates were later apprehended by turian officials, and the captain stated that a motivating factor in targeting the transport carrying the Doraks was that volus were easy to push over.
His parents had been wealthy business-owners, and his inheritance provided him with an easy life-long income that required little work on his part. This allowed him to indulge an obsession with self-defense, begun the day his parents were murdered. The older he got, the more he realized that the perception of the pirates was a serious impediment to his people. Unspoken numbers of his people were killed in organized and petty crimes due to a belief that volus were easy prey. What was worse, he realized that it was a perception that was mostly correct.
Once he reached legal age, Xan outfitted himself with an advanced, military-grade suit of armor and corresponding weaponry. Taking work with legitimate mercenary bands, he began making a name for himself. Xan remained very public about his work, even holding press conferences at time to publicize his exploits in hopes of changing the galactic perception of the volus people.
After several such press conferences, the board of directors had him removed from all company interests, paying him a large sum of money in its stead. To their minds, he had become a liability. Xan, rather than finding this unfortunate, took it as a sign that he was not taking his mission far enough. Instead, he headed to Omega, intending to join the band of Archangel. When he arrived, he found that the famous vigilante was already gone. As such, he decided to take up the turian’s cause. His belief was that if he made the criminal underworld fear him, it would go a large way in changing the public perception.
In time, he was disappointed. Despite a number of impressive victories over the scum of Omega and earning the moniker “Hardball,” he never amassed the followers or reputation of the previous vigilante, severely curtailing his ability to affect large-scale change. His skills, however, did not go unnoticed, attracting the attention of the Shadow Broker.
On the condition that he only be contracted for jobs where he filled the role of the hero, Xan agreed to work with the Broker, deciding that to have a volus working as muscle for one of the most powerful individuals of the galaxy could only serve to further his goals.
