STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Smarts: Drak has qualities that many would fine necessary when leading a group of Pirates. Though he is bloodthirsty, vicious, and perhaps a little self-centered, he's also very smart. As many believe about his species, Drak is incredibly clever. He is well known for using guile, manipulation, and sheer intelligence in simple outmaneuvering his opponent. He prefers outwitting his enemies to beating them down with brutality, cornering them before they have a real chance to fight back. Like many Devaronians Drak takes an odd sort of pleasure in tricking and outwitting other people.
Cruel: Perhaps fitting for his kind, Drak has been known to be sadistically cruel. Though he doesn't seek it out like others, Drak has no issue with administering is own sick sense of justice. He doesn't mind brutality, knowing it's worth in both the fear and respect that it can inspire. He often wields cruelty like a knife, cutting in just the right places before quickly removing the blade to simply let the wound sit. Drak is well aware of the dynamic between cruelty and kindness, utilizing those these aspects to inspire and odd mixture of terror and admiration in those around him.
Narcissist: As with many Devaronians, Drak simply believes himself to be the best and greatest. There is not lee-way there. Though he's not an idiot by any means, Drak is self-centered enough that he tends to completely ignore the opinions of others. He doesn't see much worse in advice of lesser-beings, a denomination that he ascribes to nearly everyone. When he does take advice he generally restates the idea and makes it seem as though it was he who thought of it in the first place. This tendency leaves Drak open to being blind-sighted in more then a few ways.
Blind Spot: Oddly enough, in notion with being blind-sighted due to ego, Drak has an actual blind spot within his video. A scratch across his eye received at a young age has left him partially blind in one eye. A single white line sits hazily within the center of his right eye oddly cutting his vision to the right. Though he has long ago learned to function through this, it does leave him open to clever attacks.
BIOGRAPHY:
Sometimes, the galaxy cruelly assigns stereotypes to certain species just because of the way they look.
Sometimes, those stereotypes are accurate.
Drak Sivas is perhaps the match of what anyone might think of when they picture a Devaronian. He is cruel, nearly every word he speaks is a lie, and he is almost always smiling. Drak is an almost perfect match for what most of the galaxy think of Devaronians. The Pirate has few, if any redeeming qualities, though some say he does make a mean bantha steak. Whether Drak is a result of nature, or simply a man who abandoned himself to the stereotypes of his people is not really clear, as far as one can tell he had a fine early life, and his actions are more of a result of simple impulses rather then some grand scheme of evil.
Drak really only appeared on the galactic scene a few months ago, neither famous nor really making much of an impact at first.
He first appeared within the realm of the Criminal Underworld as part of a small Pirate Crew under a man named Jorg. Jorg was a moderately successful man in control of a small freighter converted into a warship. He ran a small crew of twenty or so men, none of them really trained or particularly clever. It was here that Drak first made his presence known, joining Jorg's crew and quickly rising through the ranks until he was the ships First Mate. From there it was a simple matter of twisting Jorg's mind to go after prey that was slightly out of his reach,
Jorg and his crew hit a Galactic Alliance storage facility, one defended by a contingent of 5th Legion soldiers. As one can imagine, the twenty pirates did not fair well against the well trained troops of the Alliance and six of Jorg's men fell in the assault, along with Jorg himself.
This disastrous raid left the Ship and Crew to Jorg's First Mate, Drak.
Drak quickly changed the direction of the crew, beginning an oddly strict training regiment and taking the Pirates to raid softer targets. Instead of attacking trade routes or well known hyperlanes Drak instead struck at the fringes of the galaxy, hitting villages, small towns, and other defenseless innocents. At each of these places he offered those he saw as suitable a choice, join the crew, or die. Though most refused him, those with a darker side joined him.
Through this method Drak managed to grow his crew from Fourteen, to nearly forty.
It was at this point that the small Freighter would not longer hold Drak's ambition.
The Pirate quickly formulated a plan, one that would see them receive a replacement for their aging ship. Drak set his crew to work, removing all weapons, armaments, and anything that even smelled of pirate from their freighter. This equipment was stored, and then the freighter was taken to the far outer rim near a world Drak knew had a small Planetary Defense Force. The freighter was then scuttled, engines blown with charges, shields destroyed, and hull torn apart with saws and explosives. An alarm cry went out, and as Drak had predicted, a vessel of the PDF appeared.
The ship, blissfully unaware of the nefarious intent awaiting hailed the broken Freighter. Drak himself took the radio, spinning a tail of Piracy, death, and woes. The Defense Force ship quickly moved to assist, docking with the broken Freighter and sending over medical teams and salvage crews. These men were quickly slaughtered, a hail of blaster fire and blades seeing them cut down in mere moments. A second later and Drak's crew stormed the Defense Vessel.
Through a fierce fight, and much blood, The Bloodhawk was claimed.
Drak had his ship.
Though not a Star Destroyer, nor even a Cruiser, the Raider-Class Corvette was more then enough to see Drak satisfied. With space enough for more then just his crew, and weapons strong enough to take on most freighters, The Bloodhawk was a prize well won. With his new ship Drak began to move more swiftly, no longer confined to raiding small villages and towns Drak instead began to strike at the galaxies corporations and galactic governments.
Those organizations that left themselves vulnerable would soon find warehouses, factories, and most importantly; research stations aflame.
