Setekh

Civil name Zetta Yin Lee [澤塔 胤 禮 -  Zeetha Yin Lî (Wu Chinese) / Zétǎ Yìnlǐ (mandarin)], courtesy name Hsien-yìh (憲益 - Xiànying / Si Yij),  but most commonly known as "Setekh", this Mobian caracal was born into a family of renowned assassins for hire. An agent of the Xenithian Army and a black ops GUN operative, Setekh is wealthy and a prodigy of the Zetta Clan. With Taline and Ebrahim he is the third member of the adventurers Team Outsiders. In a way, he is the Original Yin, born in an earlier timeline than his other reality self, Zetta Victor Yin.
==== Name (s) ====
Setekh, due to his role as spy, like to adapt his name. So he is known as : Yoon Li (Gan Chinese), Wan-lai or Jam-Lai (Cantonese), Victor Yen Lee (Hong Kong), Eung-Lê (Min), Rhīm-lì (Hakka), În-Lé (Hokkien), Im-Loy (Teochew), Tsê Hsien-yin (Taiwan), Doãn Lê (Vietnamese), Yun-ryeo (Korean), Hirotsugu "Rei" Terasawa (Japanese nanori reading). However he can take a real name and persona when needed.
==== Background ====
Setekh is the son of the head of an organisation of assassins and thieves called the Exiles. His mother was one of the Exiles' top assassins. From the moment he was born, it was planned that he would follow in his parents' footsteps, and he was trained to become one of them. Instead of going to school (although he was still taught to read, write, swim, walk, etc.), Setekh was taught the art of stealth, weapons training, martial arts, assassination, and theft. His training began when he was six years old. He was quite promising in his profession.
When he was 10, he did his first real assassination. But when he returned from his mission, his parents were killed along with most of the members of the Exiles. This was after a combined military operation from the planets Mobius and Klein, led by a former officer of the Exiles.
Mobius wanted to get rid of the whole organisation, but the Kleinian government proposed to reform it instead. They wanted to use their skills not as assassins, but as bounty hunters against criminals and outlaws. Negotiations began under the mediation of the Xenithian High Command. The Xenithians are a neutral and independent faction, but they cooperate with both Mobius and Klein's military.
Exiles was then placed under Xenith's control and renamed "The Elysians" to turn over a new leaf. A new leader was also appointed to take charge of the organisation. And it is in this way that Xianyin (now Setekh), in spite of his grief, has remained loyal to his only family.
After the reformation, Setekh received a different kind of training, especially in how to change his identity, how to switch personalities when necessary for his missions, and how to interact with others, especially how to be more "human". Being the son of the former head of the organisation, Setekh has been treated well. He has lacked nothing but maternal love. However, due to the time-consuming nature of his training, Setekh hasn't had much time to focus on improving his Mobian/English. As a result, his Mobian is a bit broken and there are idioms he doesn't really understand.His main language being Chun-nan Southern dialects. So he uses this shortcoming - and his accent - to improve his performance as a foreigner. Which, coincidentally, comes in handy for some undercover missions. When he was 16, the Exiles decided to appoint Setekh as their "agent" after a series of tests. They gave him the "Reaper" weapons.
The Exiles/Elysian Nomadic Space Base/Citadel where he was born and raised is also the closest thing he has to a home. But governments usually give him apartments in Klein or Mobius. Military bases as well. This means: Setekh has enough credit to afford a -luxury- house if needed. As well as to finance any projects or needs that he may have, during his missions or in any other way. 
In the past, the Citadel detected the presence of an unknown person hacking into their system. It was Quayshaun who reached his dimension and it was the first time he and Ebrahim met Q.
==== Personality ====
Setekh is professional and cold during his missions. But he is a bit friendly when he is at home. He's hard to fool, cold and doesn't hesitate to improvise and invest himself in his mission. When he has time, he also likes to study or read a book. Even though his knowledge is below average. This is due to his education, which has left him little time to study "non-essential" subjects.
As the Organisation's only child, he remains rather lonely and often doubtful, despite trying his best to look unflinchingly like an adult..
He also has a softer side, which he shows to those he values, and is aloof to everyone else. Due to his job of taking on identities and personalities, he has learned to fake it, but his limit is that he is not able to take on any personalities that are too flamboyant. Contrary to what some may think: Setekh is not merciless or cold-hearted. There are some things that he will not tolerate, such as stealing from the poor. He also won't - generally - kill anyone who isn't a target.
Setekh does not like mindless fighters. Mostly because they annoy him and he thinks he is better than them, which is usually the case. His motto used to be "Not my problem", because he simply doesn't care about other people's business or problems; only the mission matters to him, as it always does.
But with reform, he learnt that people were more likely to give information if he behaved as nicely as possible. So even if he is a bit manipulative with other people, he's still far from being a jerk. He was always polite. Even if he didn't agree with the ethics of others or what was preached by more heroic people. Finally, he enjoys reading, combat, cinnamon rolls and has a fascination with ghosts.
==== Orientation ====
Setekh is technically asexual, not really attracted to any gender. Despite this, during a mission, Setekh will go to almost any length to ensure that his mission is completed in the quickest and most efficient manner possible. If necessary, he will resort to prostitution in order to gain information on a target or to obtain vital intelligence.
Sex is just a means to an end for him and he will go with either a male or a female partner. His slightly androgynous appearance can be attractive and helpful to him in this regard. He would never get any real pleasure from sex with his targets or strangers. However, he can't deny that sex feels good in a way. Setekh has a slight preference for males over females, but would have no objection to either, especially if the partner is cute.
Setekh is also not the most efficient lover. His knowledge of sex is still very basic, and he lacks a certain amount of experience.
==== Weapon ====
Two G4 custom pistols called "Reapers". The peculiarity of this weapon is that it does not use conventional ammunition, but super-compressed projectiles of air which, due to the advanced technology of the Xenithians, have the same effect as normal bullets. Thanks to this technology, it leaves no bullet in the victim's body and has unlimited range as long as there is sufficient oxygen or the weapon's mechanism is not damaged. These weapons are also somewhat heavy, bulky and difficult to use correctly without practice. Setekh generally uses one weapon, the second being a spare. In very dangerous situations, however, he can use both.
