Mitth'ali'kana

> "*When people see Mitth'ali'kana, they assume he's a tank. An immovable object that just sits there and dishes out pain. But he's not a tank. He's a dreadnought. Big, powerful... And a lot faster than he looks.*"

**Mitth'ali'kana**, colloquially known by his core name of **Thalik**, is a Chiss, former co-holder of the title Empire's Wrath, and the current Shield of the Empire.

## Biography

Cool, calm, and caring, Thalik initially seems more of a Jedi scholar than a Sith who bore the title of Empire's Wrath. However, his skill with Soresu, willingness to switch from kind to ruthless when needed, and the fact that he is rumored to be indestructible make him a danger to all who underestimate him.

## History

### Early Life

The Chiss that would become Mitth'ali'kana was born in the year 4306 C.R.C. on the Chiss world Copero. Born merely as Mitth'ali, he showed skills in the Force from an early age. He was initially recruited by the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet to serve as an Ozyly-esehembo, but he lacked the needed skill with Force Sight.

### Leaving the Ascendancy

In the year 4317 C.R.C., Copero was visited by a two Cipher Agents looking to hide their daughter away from the Sith. In a gesture of immense sacrifice, Mitth'ali's family agreed to a trade. Their son would take the place of the Cipher Agents' daughter, and she would have a place in the Ascendancy. Before his departure, Mitth'ali was given the last part of his name, "Kana", the Chiss Title Name reserved for ambassadors who sought out the stars.

## Personality

Thalik is focused and caring, quick to help out someone who he can aid. Attuned to the Force and the needs of those around them, he is a trustworthy confidante and pleasant conversationalist.

## Equipment

### Attuned Bulwark Lightsaber

A lightsaber forged on Odesson by Thalik with the aid of Darth Marr, Satele Shan, and Draconis Ren. Specifically sculpted to fit in Thalik's hand and allow for easy use with Soresu, anyone who duels Thalik will find it nearly impossible to move his blade.

### *Lost Moon of Copero*

The Terminus-Class Destroyer *Lost Moon of Copero* serves as the flagship for Mitth'ali'kana's navy and was given to him by the Dark Council and Empress Acina upon his ascent to the role of Shield of the Empire.
