**Rajah Rajveer Dapar** is the highest ranking agent of VIR, a deadly assassin who possesses a personal hatred for superhumans and will go at extreme lengths to eliminate those he is tasked to deal with. He is former ex-military, once a soldier in the Suldokan Military alongside Recon, who would later go on to become a recurring rival of his.

He is the significant other of Leo, who is completely oblivious to his line of work.

## History

### Early years

He was born to his two parents, Idika and Arjun 2 years after his older sister Amrita was born. He was raised mostly by his mother, as his father was often busy working a demanding job as a prosthetic limb repairman. Idika was ex-military, and had retired from her position to stay at home and raise her children full-time, and Rajah would enjoy listening to her stories about her time in the military.

During his school years, he displayed an anti-social attitude. He would commonly close himself off from his peers and never bonded with anyone that wasn't his own family. Amrita would attempt on multiple occasions to link him with some of her own friends or people that she knew, but he was never able to come out of his shell.

When he and his sister were in college, she had began dating a man named Marco Sabatacchi, however the relationship would be very short-lived. One day, Rajah would catch sight of Marco and his boys, cornering Amrita outside and displaying a threatening attitude. Rajah would quickly rush in and attempt to defend his sister, however it ended with him being beaten by the group before they quickly sprinted away.

Through out the rest of Rajahs education, it appeared that he held no specific interest in anything except the idea of joining the military. He saw his mother as heroic and wanted to follow in her footsteps.

### Military experience

When he was 22 years old, he had decided to finally enlist in the Suldokan military. It was during his time in the military training program that he would meet Recon for the first time. Despite his previous history of anti-social behaviour, him and Recon would seem to develop a genuine friendship. They would share a similar reason for wanting to join the military, which is to serve a purpose for the greater good, and they would bond over similar interests in activities such as chess and reading.

After their training was complete, they were posted at the Sarrakosa military base to stand guard, and it was initially fairly quiet. That is until they had received the news that The Baldoze had returned in the form of a new group named the Sarnac Kel’Ul. From that point, all soldiers within the base became increasingly anxious over a potential war.

Their worst fears came true when a war did break out, and their base was the first target. They were attacked by a platoon of Sarnac soldiers, who were attempting to cause as much damage as possible to valuable military assets. Rajah was amongst the first soldiers that responded to the attack and experienced first hand the act of taking a life, or several lives. They were able to successfully defend against the first attack, suffering little in the way of injury. However the process of killing others had a noticeable effect on Rajah. He had tried to push it down, but there was no denying that the images had scarred him mentally.

As the war with the Sarnac escalated, Rajah and Recon were both chosen to be deployed on the frontlines of Azester, where he and Recon would befriend a group of other soldiers; Kumar, a long time veteran of the military who had a heart of steel, Dez, a former gangster, Parv, a man who commonly found himself at the butt of the groups banterous jokes, and Aagya, a tough woman known to have a sick sense of humour. Whilst Recon was more sociable with the group, Rajah returned to his closed off state and was known as the quiet one of the group. He would still socialise with Recon whenever they were together, but didn't connect as well with the rest of the group. Although at the time, he still held some amount of respect for them.

After some time, after a successful attack on a Sarnac hideout, Kumar was unexpectedly struck by a bullet in the chest from a sniper. Rajah would be the first to return fire and manage to hit their shooter before running after them. Once he caught their surprise attacker, he discovered that they were in fact a young child, who appeared scared. Dez caught up with Rajah and urged him to shoot the child, although Rajah hesitated greatly. Eventually however, as Dez continued to urge him, Rajah would shoot the child in the head. When he and Dez returned to rejoin the group, they found that Kumar had died.

Killing the child had effected Rajah greatly, an immense amount of guilt built up inside him, and as the other group members talked about how killing the child was the right thing, he began to lose respect for them. Rajah would reconcile with Recon, who would attempt to comfort him, but Recon also expressed sympathy towards the other group members, and this made Rajah begin to lose respect for Recon as well. Eventually, an argument would break out between Rajah and Parv, which led to the two engaging in a fist fight. Recon would break them both up and Rajah would storm out of their hideout.

During his walk, still feeling enraged, he would come across an enemy mine and gain an idea. Whilst the rest of the group slept, he took the mine and wired it up to their trucks engine before departing once again. He did this to not only ensure that the spy was taken out, but also that the rest of the group got what they deserved. The next morning, the group would enter the truck as they were planning on driving elsewhere. Recon noticed that Rajah was missing and was the only one not present in the vehicle. When the engine was started, the truck would burst into a fiery explosion, and everyone except Recon would be killed.

As Rajah continued to flee, fearing that he would be seen as a traitor by his superiors, bombs would start getting dropped in the nearby area. As Rajah turned his head to look at an explosion further behind, a missile would fall directly to his right and blow him up. He lost his left arm and his face was severely scarred, the force of the blast knocked him unconscious, but by some miracle he had managed to survive. His body was later recovered by other allied soldiers and taken to a medical camp.

After being treated for his wounds, the war with the Sarnac would come to an end, and Rajah would be discharged from the military. When he went home, his family were distraught by his injuries and what he went through. His father would be the one to gift him a new prosthetic arm.

### New career/becoming an assassin

In the aftermath, Rajah would go job searching and quickly find work as VIP security for a provocative nightclub named 'The Pink Dove'. One of these VIPs was a prominent gang boss and friend of the clubs owner named Nickie Alrose, and it was during a night where Rajah was standing guard of Alrose that a drunken former associate, named Jai, confronted Alrose and had attempted to slash at him with a knife. However, Rajah would prevent any serious conflict from occurring by harshly dealing with the man himself, breaking his wrist in the process.

This moment caught Alroses attention, and after learning of Rajahs military background, he would ask for a private meeting. Nickie would offer Rajah a job to act as his own private security, and he was willing to offer a high amount. Rajah would agree and accompany Nickie during various business meetings, still retaining his job at the Pink Dove but working for Nickie when needed. Rajah would be present during one meeting between Nickie and a well known mob boss named Silvio Auditore, who disliked the fact that Nickie had been running his business in Auditores territory.

Silvio told Nickie to leave or otherwise face serious consequences, and when Nickie decided not to take Silvio seriously, it resulted in one of his dealers getting their arm chopped off as a warning. Silvio was starting to become a problem, and Nickie offered to pay Rajah to try and kill Silvio, however Rajah refused. That is until, Silvio and two of his top enforcers visited the Pink Dove in search of Nickie, although he wasn't present at the time. They were causing a scene, and Rajah attempted to get them to leave when Silvio suddenly slammed his head against a table and shouted at him not to tell him what to do.

It was after this that Rajah decided to take the job that Nickie had offered, and would spend the next few weeks stalking Silvio. He would track him to his apartment complex and concoct a plan. He would sneak into the building and sabotage a high tech fireplace in Silvios apartment whilst he and his enforcers were inside, and this would cause the flames in the fireplace to explode and become out of control. One of the enforcers would unlock the door in an attempt to search for a fire extinguisher, which would allow Rajah to enter. He quickly shot both of the enforcers before then shooting Silvio and leaving there bodies to be consumed by the growing flames.

After this, Rajah would solidify his reputation and would become Alroses personal hitman. He would be tasked with eliminating threats to Nickies business or people that crossed him in some way; this includes Jai, the drunken man from the night when Rajah and Nickie first encountered each other. Jai had been attempted to set-up his own rival drug business to directly compete with Alrose and had been attempting to steal away a main drug supplier, who had previously been supplying to Silvio, named Denishe.

Rajah would take him out after tracking him down to a café he frequented, and quickly shot him in the head through the window of his car as he was just getting ready to drive away. Afterwards, Rajah would call Jai's right hand man Faraj, who had been intending to meet with Denishe alongside Jai, and threatened him to stay away from Nickie's business or otherwise share the same fate as Jai.

### Relationship with Leo

One night during his time at the Pink Dove, Leo would attend the club for a Birthday party that was paid for by his friends. The group would settle in the VIP section where Rajah would stand guard. As the night progressed, the group made casual conversation with Rajah, and it became clear that Leo held an interest in Rajahs physical appearance and that his friends were trying to set them up. Leo and Rajah would eventually end up talking, and the night ended with the two of them hooking up.

Afterwards, Leo would officially ask Rajah on a date and from there, the two would begin seeing each other regularly. This was the first person that Rajah had ever dated, and so he fell completely head over heels in love with Leo.

### First Superhuman encounter

At some point, Leo would persuade Rajah to travel with him to Bakkar and the poorer city of Un'Dak to engage in some poverty tourism. When they had settled in an apartment building, Rajah was visited by a man named Tikki, who claimed to be a long distance associate of Alrose and had a job for him. Tikki was a member of a local gang that supplied Alroses drugs in the area, and the usually prevalent Pirates that controlled the territory had been driven away by a military operation led by General Aka. However, the gang that Tikki was a part of had discovered that they had another competitor.

Another gangster and photographer named Tayo Patringuld had been running his own small operation with his friends, using children as mules to supply their own drugs. Tikki's gang wanted Tayo gone, as he posed a threat to their business. Rajah accepted the job offer and would soon traverse the streets to go in search of Tayo. Once he was able to track him, he followed him to one of his usual spots where he would meet with the children he forced to work for him. However, before Rajah had the chance to kill Tayo himself, one of the boys that Tayo was talking to suddenly used some kind of superhuman ability to launch Tayo across the street where he was then run over by a tram-cart.

This boy, nicknamed Monkey Boy, would then be pursued by General Aka himself alongside several other soldiers, and chaos would ensue across the city. Major damage would be caused to several nearby buildings, which Rajah would only barely manage to avoid as he attempted to flee the scene. Then, Monkey Boy ended up being flung directly towards the apartment building which Rajah and Leo had been staying at, and Rajah quickly ran directly towards their room where Leo was at the time. Monkey Boy broke directly through their wall, shocking Leo and Rajah would enter the room when he noticed that Aka had fired several rockets in their direction in an attempt to kill Monkey Boy.

Rajah thought fast, grabbed Leo and jumped out of the hole made in the wall and plummeting downwards just as the rockets blew up their apartment. Rajah would grab onto a ledge just in time and manage to save both of their lives. In the aftermath of his attack, Leo would randomly suffer panic attacks, and Rajah would come to despise superhumans.

Rajah would read about various other cases across the universe and believed that superhumans were a genuine danger to humanity. He and Leo would permanently move to Globulus as it was believed to be safer and a better environment for Leo. During his research Rajah would also come to learn of VIR, their objective to wipe out all superhumans and their many success stories, and Rajah found their cause to be an admirable one. He decided to join them, and over the course of many years, would become their greatest asset.

## Appearance

From the records recovered from the Overlooks database, Rajah is described as standing at 5'11 inches tall, with a slim-muscular build and a weight of 170 lbs. He is of Indian descent, with a brown skin tone and naturally black hair which he has grown out and dyed to the colour purple. After suffering a near death experience from a mortar exploding next to them, they have lost their arm and have replaced it with a black prosthetic one. During the time of this explosion, he had turned his head to look over his right shoulder, meaning that the left side of his face was affected by the blast and he lost sight in his left eye.

In his VIR uniform, he wears a gas mask that allows him to breathe on planets which hold different types of oxygen to his own, and it displays through a blue and red light which eye retains vision. He equips himself with a bullet-proof vest, complete with various satchels for storing ammo and other items, which he wears over a bright pink VIR branded synthetic shirt that is immune to fire. Over the top of this, he wears a short blue cape which covers the mouth of his gas mask and is branded with the VIR logo.

## Personality

Rajah has always been troubled mentally. A psychological analysis when he was younger found that he had intense attachment issues, would suffer frequent outbursts of anger or emotion, and could not relate with most of his other peers which of course, led to frequent anti-social behaviour and frustration. These traits would evolve as Rajah got older, and after suffering an intense amount of trauma during his time in the military, he started to grow paranoid and was much more aware of his surroundings as a result. Once he had found himself in a relationship with Leo, he became overly protective of him as he cared for him deeply. It was found during an assignment when he was sent after Phoebe Phobia, and he lost his Mind-Nulling device, his greatest fear was revealed to be the death of Leo.

Due to his experience with murder in the military and later his time working as a freelance hitman, he grew vastly desensitized to violence and the act of killing. Murder had become just as simple as a task to him as spreading butter on a slice of bread. He will almost unquestioningly murder anyone he is told to by his superiors, especially as a VIR agent due to his belief of all superpowered beings being inherently dangerous. After witnessing Monkey Boy almost get Leo killed during a conflict that destroyed a decent chunk of the city they were in, he was unable to trust anyone who had superpowers and so he agrees with VIRs policy that death is the best course of action when handling them.

## Powers and abilities

### Abilities

* **High agility -** Rajah is able to run and move at incredible speed, and leap at impressive lengths. This is through the use of a cybernetic implant installed in the soles of his feet during his military training, which slightly propels him in the air just enough to cover more distance when he runs and jumps.
* **Swordsmanship -** Rajah is quite skilled when it comes to wielding sharp melee weapons such as knives and swords.
* **Gunsmanship -** Rajah is highly trained in the utilisation of almost all fire arms. He is educated on the proper handling and safety precautions of this kind of weaponry and is quite familiar with the inner workings of these weapons.
* **Hand-to-hand combat -** In close quarters combat whilst unarmed, Rajah is able to handle themselves in fisticuffs, having been observed to be able to take on multiple opponents at once.

## Weapons & equipment

* **NEO-X 22 (*with suppressor*) -** A semi-automatic handgun designed to accommodate inexperienced gun users, commonly used during training practices. Likely a weapon that Rajah is most familiar with.
* **JP Arc S2.30 -** A service pistol commonly carried by Suldokan Police. This is the weapon that Rajah was able to get his hands on when he entered a life of crime.
* **Zone Sword -** A long sword with a blade made from the indestructible material used to create force fields.
* **Zone Knife -** A dagger which is made from the same material as the sword.

* **De-Impervianator -** A large canon that, when fired, will shoot out various strings akin to a taser that will attach to the intended target and shock them. This will directly target their invincibility and temporarily remove their immunity to regular weapons.
* **Heart-Beat Sensor -** A device wrapped around his wrist that can detect the heartbeats of nearby living organisms, which are displayed as small red dots.
* **Zip-Hook -** A small device that can be clipped to a belt or the wrist, and shoots out a wire which can latch onto objects and reel the user towards them. It can also be used as fibre wire to strange targets or sever limbs.
