An adult in his mid-twenties, he has a rather average height; neither tall nor short. His body is athletic, with a lean muscular build rather than a bulky build. His hair is well kept, he is always immaculately dressed, and sports a fashionable rough shave. Zeke's gray eyes seem to pierce through to the core of the observers, and yet seem to convey a friendly and intelligent nature. The man has scars across his left shoulder, and side.

Personality:

Zeke is a high functioning sociopath, with extreme narcissism, and yet, a drive to have a purpose. His intelligence is genius level, with an eye for tactics, infiltration, poisons, explosives, traps, and the like. He can work a crowd, like he was born to do it. He has a knack for close up assassinations with a knife. Zeke has a strong survival instinct, and a powerful will. Good, or bad does not adequately fill in who Zeke is. He does have a moral compass, its just uniquely his own, and he cares little for the morals of others. His art is everything, and his skill in it, is second to none, and he knows it.

Biography:

Public knowledge:

Taken from his official biography:

At his birth, Zeke's biological mother died of a spice overdose and he barely survived. Taken in by the illustrious Jack and Sherra Tune, the galaxy known musicians, he was raised with great care. A frail childhood full of complications from the circumstances of his birth left him out of the public eye for quite some time, however, around the age of thirteen he overcame these natural weaknesses. While a gifted musician and academic in his own right, Zeke's creativity in the various physical arts were second to none. He had already sold dozens of high pricing paintings and sculptures to distinguished members of galactic society long before reaching adulthood. However, it was the tragic death of his parents that truly marked the beginning of his brilliance. The tragedy, darkness, and pain found inside his artwork after this resonated with the turmoil found in the galaxy, and anyone who was anyone had to have a piece of his work for their collections.

He now is one of the galaxy's most beloved philanthropists, giving much of his wealth to those who are in need, visits and personally draws unique art for the children with terminal illnesses, and never turns down a chance to give inspiration to the next generation of artists, poets, and musicians. Truly, Zeke Tune represents a bright light in a galaxy filled with darkness, and uncertainty.


The following represents the reality of Zeke Tune's life. This knowledge is not written down anywhere, known by any living beings other than Zeke himself any longer, and there is currently no evidence to be found that it has happened.

Personal Knowledge:

Born on a world unknown even to himself, to parents he can't remember. As a toddler his home world was attacked by pirates, his family killed, and he was taken into slavery by them. His first memories are of hunger, pain, and darkness. By the age of five he killed many other children in the slave pens out of desperation when there wasn't enough food to go around. His drive to live wasn't lost on his owners. They taught him to read, write, do math, and how to fight. Put into the arena time and time again, he proved the desire to survive and that he could do anything to make sure it would happen, even as a child. He was never given a name. Torture, death, darkness, a constant fight to survive was his lot in life. However, in the arms of two guards, he found rest. They began to take care of him, and train him as a member of the pirate gang.

Sadly, this newfound family wouldn't last long, when he was forced to kill them, as a show of loyalty when it came out that one of them had been skimming off inventory without permission and selling it, without giving the proper cut to the Leader. He kill them both with a blade, without any hesitation. The pens were his only reward for this, thrown back into the darkness. Vowing to get free, he learned, trained, and waited for the time to break away from the pirates.

His time came when Sherra Tune, and her son around his age were kidnapped by the pirates for ransom. The boy befriended both of them, helping them cope with the darkness. When it looked like the pirates were about to kill the two, after getting the money, the boy broke them free, and massacred the pirates. Sadly, during this event, Zeke was killed, and Sherra, unable to cope, took the boy with her, and gave him her child's identity.

As Zeke had been sick, and adopted, genetics, and physical identification of the boy was easily covered over, and changed. The boy quickly took on the new identity, however, hiding his nature was far more difficult. He killed one of the many servants that worked for the Tune's in a fit of rage, this was quickly covered up by the parents, not wanting to lose another son. They channeled his killer instinct, by having him train with the body guards, and the family's assassin. He took this this well, and began to calm, Having an outlet for his darker instincts, he began to excel at his academic work, and picked up the use of many instruments.

However, around twelve, he opened up to his real passion, art. Sculptures, paint work, digital work, it was all glorious to him as a way of self expression. He learned to love his parents. They gave him the ability to give into his dark urges and desires, and yet, never judged him for it. Gaining his degree in fine arts, he hit the art scene and quickly gained traction. His abstract art work gained a following. All the while he snuck out into the night, using the skills learned along his life, to keep his mind focused, killing common thugs, degenerates, or others who wouldn't be missed if they disappeared.
Shortly after graduating, his parents were killed by an assassin from an unhappy client. Thinking Zeke would be a weak target, they tried to kill him too. However, he captured their assassins, found the clients and killed them as well. He used their bodies to create his next art work, and the galaxy loved it. The rumors of course flew when it was discovered that remains were used, however, clever maneuvering made it seem like everyone had volunteered to be used upon their deaths. After using this method for awhile, he became more careful. His mind was forever twisted and torn. Death was so natural, but without his parents to guide him, and mold him, he began to grow more resentful. He may not have grieved in the normal way, but he did in his own way. During this turmoil, his artwork became a house hold name. He began investing large sums of money in small upcoming companies, and reaping large rewards. Investing and saving most, he also began to give a large amount of it to various charities, perhaps as a way to halt the unease that was weighing on his mind. He needed purpose, drive, a cause, anything, and he had none of it. His galaxy was in chaos, without any real goal in sight. He was a serial killer, not an assassin with a higher goal, he was killing for no real purpose than to fuel his art. It was a hunger, a need. And yet, the unease wouldn't go away. Once it was for a reason, to stay with his family, what was it for now? True, his art was godly, worthy of him. But, what came next?

Frankly, maybe he just found what comes next. Someone worth fighting for, worth painting for.....changing for.
