**Q'rey Raxos** is a Saleluki from the planet Saleo and an influential figure in the ring of Core politics. One of the most well-trained agents the Sarai has ever produced, he eventually rose to the rank of Taskmaster, leading the entire secretive order charged with the protection of Saleo and its' interests. During the Great War he lead the Sarai to glory through deceptive and amoral tactics that earned him a negative reputation among his peers. Having been forced to retire to save the Saleluki's reputation, Raxos went on to form the private security firm Blackwatch where he serves as First Director and Head-Chairman over the Board of Directors.

## Appearance

As a veteran Saleluki, Q'rey has a body decorated in scars and wounds from years of battle. The Great War claimed his left leg, forearm, and tail, resulting in them being replaced by cybernetics. His left, mechanical leg is sleek and silvery with talon-like claws instead of toes that make an audible scraping sound when coming into contact with flooring. His left arm from the elbow down is cybernetic, made with the same material and design as his leg, the digits ending in sharp claws. His tail up to his spine has been replaced by a thin, metallic one that can retract blade-like spines and a bladed fin at the end for combat.

He bears a long scar on his face connected to his eye, resulting in it being blinded a permanent white. His hair is a dark purple that has begun to grey with age, with his remaining eye still being a bright yellow. His voice is described as quiet and educated with a predatory assertiveness to it.

## Personality

An outspoken militant, Q'rey has long held the belief that the only true path to peace and security is knowing one's enemies and anticipating betrayal from allies. Under his leadership, he organized the Sarai into a clandestine order of spies, assassins, saboteurs, and covert manipulators. While his tactics and philosophy has made the Saleluki a major Core power, it has also backfired in many instances and garnered him and the Sarai a dark reputation.

What else can be said of Q'rey, he proves loyal to his people, having resisted attempts by the Heskra to bribe and coerce him into betraying his people, despite both using similar terror tactics in the war. Asserting that political loyalty is paramount, he has even ordered the discrete execution of Sarai agents that threaten to jeopardize his plans on the grounds of treason.

## Skills and Abilities

* **Martial Arts Master** - Having Mastered Hajati Forms I-III, Kisa-Teri, and the various blade dances of the Sung-Pa school, Q'rey has gone on to learn and adapt many different fighting styles into his own. Q'rey implements them in his fighting style of attacking from hidden areas or at multiple different angles to inflict maximum damage to a target and prevent blocking or countering his strikes. His cybernetic augmentations give him further edge in hand-to-hand combat.

* **Marksmanship** - Q'rey is a veteran of sniper tactics and is well-versed in Saleluki, Terran, Vilorian, Tyranian, Orkish, and Vaan weaponry. Favoring compact, precise weapons over ones with more range or power, he prefers to be able to travel with his gear and retrieve them without exhaustive effort.

* **Master Tactitian** - Well-versed in guerilla and psychological warfare, Q'rey has displayed a complete lack of remorse for his enemies and is willing to use civilians and vital resources to his advantage in battle. He simplifies the morality and values of his enemy and uses their desires and sympathies against them, such as wounding one to lure out more from cover.

## Weapons and Equipment

* **Sarai Ketler Kaito** - A standard-issue Sarai Ketler blade, Q'rey keeps his sheathed at his back when not in use. His has a curved, black handle made from hark tree wood with a smooth, glossy finish.
* **Weaponized Augmentations** - Few people know of the illegal weapon additions made to Raxos' augmentations, such as the automatic blade that can be produced from the top of his left forearm. Typically Raxos will utilize this as one of many surprise tactics during fights to catch an enemy off-guard, or to discretely kill someone unawares. His left hand's digits end in sharp, claw-like tips made to easily slice and stab through flesh. The same claw-like ends can be found on his left leg. His tail, similarly, can protract sharp, curved fin-like blades with a spear-like tip to be used as a bladed whip, controlled by his cerebellum.
* **Stirata pistols** - Kept holstered against his battle jacket are two modified Stirata pistols, made to be even quieter and more accurate than their originals. Famous for their compact, lightweight, and reliable frame, these pistols are made to be easily drawn and utilized by Q'rey. They fire .22 ballistic rounds and have shown to be capable of being fitted with Silencer modifications.
* **Prodosa scattergun** - Another compact, lightweight, surprise-tactic firearm of Q'rey's is his Prodosa scattergun. Often kept hidden in either vehicles or rooms where he can easily store it i.e. in his office beneath his desk, this scattergun is light of weight and easy to reload. It generally can fire anything from cheap slugs to shrapnel rounds.
* **Jistica Retractable Sniper** - A compact rifle fitted with a long range, sniper scope with a retractable barrel, the Jistica is lightweight and capable of firing several bolts of semi-automatic plasma. Prone to over-heating, Raxos utilizes this sniper sparingly and only ever when he has an advantageous position to fire from.
