Biography
Xal Tiryac was born a slave, the child of two slaves who worked a farm on Doshi. Tiryac lived his early life as a slave on the plantation, and he grew quite favorable with his master. His master would even often invite him into his home, which was usually strictly off limits to the slave population. Xal was an excellent worker and proved to be a phenomenal group organizer and leader. His master appreciated the value of Tiryac, but fearing a slave uprising on his plantation, he knew he needed some way to control young Tiryac. So the master sent his men to capture Xal's parents and bring them back to the house. Tiryac caught word of his master's actions and stormed his way to the house, demanding to see his master. Through the gate to the house courtyard, he could see his master bring out his father and mother in chains. His master told him to "take this as a warning, boy." and before Tiryac could react his master drew a small handgun and fired one round each into his parents heads. Xal cried and shouted for his dead parents, and he quickly disarmed the gate's guard, taking his firearm and shooting through the gate after his master. The resulting chase left Tiryac splattered with blood and his master and subordinates dead. Tiryac left alone from the farm, to wander the plains. He was a changed man now. Cold, bitter and independent.

Tiryac, a free man, went on to leave Doshi behind, saying it's rolling plains only reminded him of his past. He joined up with a pirate crew and later staged a brutal mutiny that gave him command of the vessel. He directed his sights towards piracy on Dominion vessels, and made himself a name as the 'Doshi Hawk', fierce pirate lord. His attacks went almost undisputed until he struck the Emperor's private convoy. While he lost the battle and his crew, the Emperor saved his life, impressed with his performance in the skirmish. Tiryac was trained as a military commander in the navy and has since proved to be one of the best the Dominion has ever seen.

He employs a single bodyguard, a powerful creature of unknown background that defends him with his life.
