**Mannovai Aezen Vaedril Poc Wilorn Zirix**, known properly as **Wilorn Zirix** though more commonly (by the naming conventions of other species) **Zirix Wilorn**, is a salarian intelligence agent employed by the Shared Intelligence Division of the Citadel Council. Born on the colony world of Mannovai in the Poc district of the Aezen nation's city of Vaedril, he is a clear-cut son of Clan Wilorn.

## Biography

Zirix was a descendant of a salarian family through and through. He had to get the best grades or else, compete against his many brothers, and join the STG like most of his siblings had before him. Instead, Zirix found his own comfortable place amidst the SID, a decision that infuriated his parents with threats to disown him. According to them, the SID wasn’t good enough because it wasn’t *salarian* intelligence, despite how much Zirix argued that it included but was not limited to it. But they wouldn’t listen and continue to pester their son on the matter to this day.

Working in intelligence was perfect for Zirix. It was just close enough to the action to satisfy his curiosity but almost entirely out of harm’s way, a detail which made it the ideal job. Unfortunately for him, he found himself often being voluntold to go out on the field and risk his damned neck. He absolutely hated every second of it- one cannot quicksave in the flesh.

As for other work, he often cooperated with C-SEC. Notably, he worked alongside C-SEC officer Avelyn Tanis on a number of odd occasions. One of them consisted of busting down a terrorist that had inserted corrupted coding into the Citadel Transit Vehicles. Thankfully, the pair had managed to catch the culprit before they’d done any organic damage. The night following this arrest had also been an interesting one worthy of mention, although it has been scrapped from any and all records. Rumour has it, Zirix and Avelyn had what is more commonly referred to as a fling, although there is absolutely no proof of that. After all, the salarian adamantly reaffirmed that even if he possessed the sex drive of other baser species, he wouldn’t dare have any relations with a coworker.

Moving away from that, Zirix had gathered quite the little name for himself. Obviously the public would never know of his service as was tradition with Intelligence work, however the crew of the *FSV Opolai* would soon come to know the salarian as one of their crewmates. Without a SPECTRE aboard, the ship needed a new pair of eyes and ears to watch and guide the crew of the *Opolai* towards the right side of the law. Thanks to their prior work relations, Zirix and Avelyn were both assigned to the *Opolai* as per the request of the Council.

## Personality

### Funny Bone

Zirix deals with stress through humour and faces the world as a hopeful optimist. He doesn’t want to be anyone’s enemy so he acts in a friendly manner.

### Lawful Good

With a mix of honour and compassion, Zirix will uphold the law first and foremost.

### The Stereotype

Zirix is very much a coward. He would rather be far away from danger, and is generally non-confrontational. Besides, it is far easier to complain on behalf of others than stating one’s actual opinions as they are.

### Such a Dork

He has a deep love of nerd culture, speaks partly in what can only be described as technobabble, and is an awkward mess in social situations.

## Physical Description

With skin of gray, blue, and hints of purple, Zirix stands at just over two meters in height. His physique is nothing to be impressed by. While fit, his silhouette isn’t distinguishable in a crowd. He has a long face with lower eyes, giving him a young know-it-all look. To complete it, he wears AR glasses at all times which send him various data about whatever his eyes fall upon next.

He wears a dual-coloured coat that remains open under the rib cage, more often than not revealing some dorky shirt with a ridiculously nerdy logo. The outfit is complete with some tight pants and slick shoes. Whilst he keeps a straightened posture (as straight as it goes for salarians, really), it is quick to falter in the face of hostilities. When he isn’t working, Zirix can often be found messing around with tech or being glued to his omni-tool, playing video games. Puzzles are his favourite.

## Armament

Though he has a distaste for it, when pressed into combat Zirix utilizes a Shock Baton, M-29 Incisor sniper rifle and an M-9 Tempest submachine gun. His omni-tool is equipped with the Combat Abilities Decoy, Overload, Tactical Scan and Sabotage.
