Physical Description		A powerful and incredibly well-built man - particularly for his age - Zrad Rezer looks as if chiselled from stone, and is entirely designed for heavy-duty warfare. His musculature is dense and his face only lightly-scarred (save for three long scratches, courtesy of a vornskyr), given Zrad is a man who has managed to avoid taking too many hits. With thick arms that can move boulders and strong, broad shoulders, Zrad Rezer is perfectly suited to manning heavy weaponry and machinery, as well as wearing heavy armour.
Form of Dress		Still wearing his blue-stained Mandalorian armour from his days as a warrior in Clan Rezer, Zrad has nevertheless customised it over the years. Thicker than the standard, his armour can take a heavy pounding from most weapons and an in-built shield is said to be even able to withstand glancing lightsaber strikes. He is never seen in public outside of his armour, although he regularly goes without his helmet, save for in combat situations. His various weapons, including a vibrosword, dual blasters and in-built rocket launcher are clearly on display attached to his outfit, which looks and is impressive, yet is clunky.
Prosthetics/Cybernetics		A cybernetic implant has been wired into his ear which, when attached to a typical-looking earpiece, heavily enhances his auditory senses, and can translate many languages from the known galaxy. It is also partly wired into the Jericho mainframe, giving him access to facility-wide surveillance and communication.

Personality & Traits

General Overview		An aggressive and ambitious man, Zrad Rezer is not what could be called a man of honour, although he does follow what he perceives to be the Mandalorian way. Believing in his superiority and that of his kind, he believes in ongoing and endless warfare to purify himself and as a way of life; the rest of the galaxy exists to be used and abused for the glory of him and his kin, and that is exactly how he lives his life. He does not make promises that he intends to keep, nor does he look to have any friends. He lives his life ruling with an iron fist and expecting constant battle. If there is not a battle, he will make or find one of his own, and is one hundred percent committed and focused to these twisted ideals.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Aside from his clear physical prowess, Zrad Rezer is a highly-intelligent man with a great tactical mind, but is nevertheless consumed by wrath and the enjoyment of battle. Perfectly capable of abusing others to achieve his own ends, Zrad knows how to engineer and win all manner of battles, but is not careless when approaching his foes, as even he knows his limits. Even so, his pride is also a weakness that could be easily exploited, yet is tempered (or perhaps made worse) by a certain level of suspicion and paranoia that clouds his mind. He also has little to no regard for other people, which perhaps helps in the sense he does not then hold grudges, either.
Ambitions		Zrad wants to be at the head of yet another Mandalorian crusader - he wants to see the galaxy burning in ashes, but for all of these lifetime desires, he for now settles on reaping great suffering upon those he can and further building his power base. In time, he believes, he will amend what has happened to the Mandalorian people.
Interests and Hobbies		War, really.
Languages		Mandalorian and numerous others (due to auditory-neural implant)

Skills/Abilities

Fighting Style		Vicious yet controlled, Zrad is a killing machine garbed in metal. With a vast array of weaponry and a keen intellect that allows him to improvise easily, he nevertheless prefers to obliterate an area with his personal and customised heavy repeating blaster, which is so large it requires him to stand firmly and make full use of his muscles as he tears away at anything in his path, surrendering accuracy for sheer firepower. Some call his approach "suicidal". He is also a master hand-to-hand fighter.
Notable Abilities		Highly capable at improvising with a situation, he is particularly fond of big weapons and explosives and would be willing to let his entire team perish by destroying a building to just kill one target. He is also able to take a massive beating of his own against ridiculous odds, and has not 'lost' any battle yet.
Melee		Excellent
Marksmanship		Very Good
Lightsaber		Unknown/None
Force Sensitivity		Unknown
Force Ability		Unknown/None
Engineering		Good
Computers		Average
Piloting		Very Good
Medical		Good
Charisma		Very Good
Stealth		Very Poor
Specific Skills/Abilities		With a hardy constitution and inhuman strength, Zrad is not necessarily fast but he makes for an excellent tank, and can destroy entire platoons, given the chance, defying the odds through his insane approach to battle.

History

Trained as all Mandalorians are from a young age, Zrad excelled in the field, surpassing even the best Mandalorians, and was quickly handpicked to be a Rally Master (and perhaps Field Marshal) from a young age. Spending a large amount of his time with his extended Clan Rezer family, Zrad was always a confrontational and ambitious young man, frequently starting fights with the neighbouring but tenuously allied clans of Ordo and Cadera. As time went on, whilst he was the epitome of Mandalorian doctrine, he came to have some level of resentment for his peers and what Manda'toma had become, seeing that there was not enough conflict. Even so, he would often go on excursions - the Great Mandalorian Hunt - throughout their empire, and often came out top in contests on Myrkr, learning about vornskyrs and ysalamiri and their useful anti-Force properties. He became a member of the "Old Way", a group supporting a union with the Mandalorian Exiles (who called themselves the 'True' Mandalorians) in this time, and although he did not care for public talking, was known to be quite an inspirational figure, both for his physical appearance and commanding ways, but it earned him some resentment from his fellow clan members. In this time, he took part in training his younger cousin, Sev Rezer, in the Mandalorian Path, simultaneously passing on much of his knowledge of combat and other skills necessary for their way of life, and although the pair did not always get on, there was a grudging respect and mutual cooperation in their endeavours. Finally, the Fifth Bastion War started, when the Moff Empire of Bastion invaded Manda'toma over a confusion, presumably started by Exiles. Even so, the war began in earnest,and Zrad was instantly in a command role, usually taking charge of vanguard attacks and the more suicidal runs against their foes. Seeing action on nearly every planet involved in the war, Zrad's kill count was higher than the majority of his peers, yet the casualty count for his own squad was ridiculously high, making Zrad respected and feared at the same time. It was towards the end of the war, around the daring Invasion of Bescane that would end the conflict in a stalemate, that Zrad went AWOL, taking his large transport load of men to join with the Exiles who had begun their own independent attack against the Bastion Imperials. Even so, the Mandalorian invasion was a success, but all of Zrad's squad joined in his defection to the Exiles, where he quickly inserted himself in as a leading figure. Only a short time after this, Zrad heard of what had happened to his clan at the hands of the Jedi, but did not return to his home, only finding his beliefs further strengthened by this slight, whilst his disdain for the Jedi grew even so. A former penal colony of the Bastion Empire, Zrad took his men and their new additions - having killed several Mandalorian Exile leaders in personal combat to claim heir followers - to Jericho, joining with the former inmates who had set up their own society there, and setting himself up as an undisputed leader and figurehead for many Exiles. Over the years, Zrad was responsible for numerous Exile operations in the surrounding sectors of space, arranging attacks against the Republic, Bastion and Manda'toma at different times, yet was able to remain safe and secure at his headquarters, having rebuilt the penal colony into his own personal and nigh-on impenetrable fortress. Building links with the Hutt Cartel - most notably Zorbo the Hutt's consortium and allies - Zrad ensured a heavy income from his criminal connections, whilst furthering his own agenda and beliefs in the Mandalorian way - a path away from that which Manda'toma has taken. Zrad finally met his end at the hands of his cousin, Sev Rezer, at the Battle of Jericho.
