Chaplain Meliadus

== Biography: ==
=== History: ===
Born twenty years before the end of the Clone Wars, not much is known of Meliadus' past. What is known is vague. His parents, administrators on their home planet of Commenor were murdered when he was in his teens. He moved to Nar Shardaa using the money he was left by them. When there, he purchased a battered Z-95 Headhunter. 
With the help of a man named Remth, who had sold him the fighter, he became a competent but largely unknown Bounty Hunter with moderate slicing and technical skills picked up during his childhood on Nar Shadaa a couple of years before the start of the Clone Wars, and was very successful. He earned a lot of money by hoarding his rewards. 
Using this, during the Clone Wars, he bribed a Clone merchant into selling him genetic and mechanical implants that increased his size, strength, stamina and speed - making him a ten foot fighting machine. Soon after, he became much more successful and widely known. 
His implants altered his growth, meaning he shot from 1.87m to 2.95m. Glands in his body can release chemicals can that combat nearly any known disease, be it bacterial, viral, spore or venom or chemical poisons. He can digest and get nutrition from many more sources, many of which most other species would find inedible. He has an extra heart and lung, hence his increased stamina, and can also breathe in heavily rarified atmosphere or filter oxygen out of normally poisonous gaseous compounds. 
At roughly the same time he replaced his Headhunter - He was so tall he could no longer fit in the cockpit - and bought a Skipray blastboat. He added a potent, but very illegal cloaking device, believed to date from almost a millennia before. He spent a lot of time working on his new ship, getting the stats and efficiency up to his high standards, and continued to upgrade after every bounty. 
Refusing to join the Bounty Hunter Guild, he was forced to hunt bounties in the Unknown Regions, competing with great Bounty Hunters like D'har'han. Becoming rich, he invested his money in a group of kidnapped scientists, trained by Nasdra Magrody, who developed a kind of "super armor" - a battle-suit made of titanium with cortosis fibers infused into it, and with its own molecular shielding, which he immediately began customizing the offensive capabilities of. 
He added weapons the arms, magno-clamps and micro-thrusters in the boots and enhanced detection systems in the helmet, along with a sophisticated sensor-jamming system. He has a protective carapace implanted in his body beneath his skin, which the suit links to. Mini-computers implanted within his cranium give him incredible intelligence, and another microchip coupled with a holo-wave transmitter enables him to control his ship remotely (and later keep in touch with his replicas). 
This helped him complete many missions, including some for Darth Vader himself. Meliadus was hired to eliminate Jedi after the Clone Wars. He proved himself to be more than a match for the cowardly Jedi. One Force-user he was sent to eliminate, however didn't die. During a hunt for a Dark-sider called Tigernmas, Meliadus was helped out by a mysterious man, becoming indebted to him in the process. 
The man turned out to be Tigernmas. Meliadus let him escape for reasons he never totally understood. Possibly it was a Force trick, but Meliadus had felt it before. It was called...friendship. Whichever, they briefly became partners. This one failure means that he lost Vader's trust. 
He fled to safety on Mandalore, and contacted members of the Black Sun syndicate. He joined them, hiring the Over-Vigo his services as a bodyguard while simultaneously continuing his profession as a bounty hunter. 
He was asked to join a group of Mandalorians in a job for the Over-Vigo, and immediately changed the outward appearance of his armor to match the Mandalorians style. The reputation of the Mandalorians would serve him well in later years. 
For many of his missions for Black Sun he teamed up with his old friend Tigernmas, whose Force skills nicely complemented Meliadus' brute power. They almost always accompanied each other, eventually reaching the point of virtual inseparability. 
Then came the Black-heart purge . An army of cyborg warriors commanded by a rogue Sith Master had stolen a number of expensive Starfighters from the Over-vigo, and Meliadus was ordered to hunt them down and destroy them, and reclaim the Starfighters. 
Meliadus tracked them to Tatooine, and managed to destroy the secret facility where they were being produced, and all of the genetic material needed to create them successfully, but Lord Blackheart, the Sith Master, escaped. 
Searching for a lead, Meliadus travelled to Coruscant to find Blackheart's son, Nee. Xizor ordered Meliadus to take Nee with him, and they combed the galaxy, eventually tracking Blackheart, and they combined their respective skills to kill Blackheart. They parted ways, a grudging admiration and friendship forming. 
After the collapse of Black Sun and the death of the Over-Vigo, Meliadus was once again forced to wander the galaxy, until he ended up on Coruscant. There he met by chance Nee again. Him, Nee and Tigernmas talked, discussing ways to regain their former profit margins, before deciding to start their own galactic government.
