CC-7145 (RP)

# Marshal Commander CC-7145 'Zyrax'

### Background

Marshal Commander CC-7145, nicknamed Zyrax, is the commanding officer of the 7th Sky Corps, apart of the Third System Army. He puts his troopers and their safety above all else, throwing himself into combat on the front lines to "save one or two more". An honest man, Zyrax always has times for his troopers' needs, gaining respect and a large likeness throughout the 7th. His 'from the front' leadership is not without criticism, as his predecessor and good friend, CC-4200"Boil" (RP) died in the same manner. Boil's death enraged Zyrax, as Boil was a mentor to him, who taught hi everything he knew. Unlike Boil, Zyrax is far from assertive, some going as far to say that he is spineless and weak, however his prowess on the battlefield quickly silenced these notions.

### Personality

#### Leadership

As previously mentioned, Zyrax prefers to lead by example and let his fighting do the talking, but off the battlefield he's quite a calm and timid character, despite the everyday burdens that follow from being a commander. Much of his time is spent speaking to clones, personal training and reading. Zyrax does not see himself as better then anybody in his corps, stating on numerous occasions that "At the end of the day, we are all equals.

#### Becoming Marshal Commander

Following the death of Boil, the mantle needed to be passed on. CC-2224 "Cody" was still on leave at this point, so Zyrax was promoted from Senior Commander to Marshal for a variety of reasons. As he and Boil were close, his familiarity with Boil's leadership values and tactics was thought to be an advantage, as it would minimalize the transition. Zyrax is also a stout tactician, consistently proving himself as competent throughout the years.

### Equipment

Zyrax is equipped with 2 standard clone commander DC-17 hand blasters and a DC-15A carbine/rifle (dependent on the mission) and standard carnivore company gear, as he's a former member of the group. He is also experienced with the use of jetpacks and fighters, as a former member of the 2nd Airborne Company.

### Battles

#### The Liberation

Zyrax, with Boil, Chief and Waxer were apart of a small squad tasked with eliminating a ship full of pirates in the outer rim. In the midst of the battle, Zyrax was wounded badly in his left leg, resulting in being out of action for months, meaning he was absent for the Invasion of Umbara.

#### The impact of Umbara

The catastrophic failure of the Umbara Invasion almost broke Zyrax, as the task force on the surface consisted of most of his close friends, all of whom were killed. This included Boil and Waxer amongst others. This almost broke him, but he channelled the pain he suffered and his resolve became stronger then that of most. He is determined to protect every clone under his command, even if it means putting himself at risk.

#### Iego

Upon 3SA's arrival in the Iego system, Zyrax became a member of the Key Team, a special group tasked with defeating Abeloth, lead by Axis (RP). It was here where he was apart of Team 4, and with the help of a small group of 7th clones, made it to Abeloth. Zyrax was reality warped back outside after their objective was completed, and soon after, the 7th was wiped from the universe, disappearing into nothing, and reappearing in 'Source'.
