Valdus Bral
️ Clan Bral Alor ️| Warlord of Nellogant
Full name: Valdus Bral
Species: Nelvaanian-Human Hybrid Cyborg
Age: 46
Height: 2.9m (9'10") | 3.1m (10'2") in his armor
Weight: 435kg (960lbs) | 1.2T (2,657lbs) in his armor
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Green
Complexion: Light grey with blueish undertone
Force sensitive: Valdus has extremely little sensitivity to the force. The benefits he gleans are a heightened sense of awareness. However, Valdus believes these are just natural warrior instincts and, to some degree, it can be argued that they are as lines are blurred between natural talent and the Force in this universe. If Valdus is separated from the Force this barely impacts him at all and he easily passes it off as him growing older and losing his edge. The reality of his force sensitivity is unknown to him which creates an interesting dynamic for a Mandalorian so against the Force and its disciples to be tainted by the very power he despises, if only to the most minute degree.

Valdus Bral was born on the planet Tython 46 years ago. His parents, freighters that were just passing through, had left him in the care of a couple who claimed to know of a lone Jedi who would take him. However, this did not come to pass as the story was a fairy tale and the couple, now his foster parents, only fabricated the tale in order to convince his biological parents to depart with peace of mind so that their child wouldn't be subjected to a life of constant isolation and borderline poverty. Instead, Valdus grew up as any normal boy would on Tython. He was and still is a great deal larger than the majority of those he had and has met since. Due to Valdus' strange appearance and imposing stature, he did not make many friends, though he did have a few.
Valdus left Tython and his foster parents behind when he was 19. His foster parents and he parted on good terms and they had encouraged Valdus to find his own path through life and that he must be destined for something greater than a humble life on Tython. Valdus went to Mos Espa where he was then introduced to the Mandalorian culture through a swift helmeted headbutt to the face with a Mandalorian he had gotten into a disagreement with. After getting to talking, Valdus grew to like the straight forward and rough demeanor. Valdus explained his situation and the Mandalorian saw great potential in the large and headstrong boy.
Years later Valdus began his formal training and indoctrination into the Mandalorian clan on Kerest. After ascending to the rank of Aloruss Valdus parted ways with his clan. The leader had grown averse to the traditional interpretation of the Resol'nare, which did not sit well with the conservative Valdus. The pattern of joining, ascending, and moving on continued for the next four years. He had great leadership characteristics and an unwavering sense of honor, but those who he had once looked up to continued to fail his high expectations.
At the age of 25 Valdus made his first visit to Mandalore and took on several assignments there. Everything from bounty hunting to serving as a soldier in the company of a Mandalorian commander. His service and the service of his fighter flight over Uvena Prime earned him an Honor Award as well as the beat-up ship he had flown during the battle; the M22-T Krayt Gunship. Twenty years later and Valdus still proudly flies his ship, worn as it is.
After several bounties, hunts, and battles, Valdus is planning his last trip to Mandalore. Valdus plans to stay there for his remaining capable years, then retire to a comfortable Ewok tree-hut on Endor where he can spend the rest of his days as he desires. Valdus has many stories to tell, many trophies he holds in esteem, and his metal-crafting knowledge to pass on to the next generation.
During his time on Mandalore he rose through the ranks until he became a famed warlord under the Mand'alor. After several battles across Mandalorian space he grew his clan into an elite fighting force with a moderately sized fleet and unique ground assets. After the fall of Mandalore to the Sith Empire Valdus took survivors and refugees to the stars and to Nellogant. There he has begun to plan his revenge on all the force users in the galaxy. Beneath the frozen hellscape the fires of conquest are being stoked. While Mandalore may have been lost, the defeat has caused the numbers of the Bral clan to swell from a few hundred, to hundreds of thousands of Mandalorian survivors. While most are not of the warrior occupation, Valdus plans to change that. -
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Extremely Strong - Due to his stature, his physical training, and the addition of cybernetics and implants, Valdus has titanic strength.
- Extremely Durable - His natural and synthetic physical attributes as well as his armor leave little outright vulnerabilities to exploit.
- Adept tactician - Valdus has spent the better half of his life on the battlefield, commanding Mandalorians as well as coalition forces on the front line and from command posts. As such Valdus is a capable mind when it comes to planning.
- Battlefield Veteran - Due to his warrior nature and ample experience facing the horrors of the galaxy, Valdus has a stalwart heart providing contagious valor to those around him.
- A heightened sense of smell, hearing, and sight.
- Due to his size, Valdus is not agile nor quick to accelerate.
- Valdus has seen better days, his body aches in prolonged fights as old war wounds begin to resurface. It takes longer for Valdus to recover from injuries.
- Valdus does not have a lot of patience for those he deems incompetent or purposefully annoying. He can put these attributes on people who mean well and as a result, can leave Valdus without a lot of personal contacts.
