Captain:Volkarus Khaxvis

Volkanus is a surviving descendant of the infamous House Khaxvis, who were executed at the conclusion of the Second House War. Unknown to the reigning Paragons, a single clutch of eggs had evaded their search and what remained of the house secretly built up a power base over the next few millenia. Volkanus is one of the leading descendants and, like his predecessors, ahs been working tirelessly to bring about the downfall of House Ultanos and reclaim (what he considers rightfully his) the imperial throne.

Volkanus himself is notoriously cunning and has a natural gift for persuading others (A method he used to gain the support of the Brood of War).

=Appearence and personality= On the outside he is bulky for his kind with narrow eyes and a squared jaw. Typical of his house, his scales are a rust-red colour while his back plates are a brighter red. His choice of clothing revolves around large, concealing robes with light armour underneath. Concealed under these robes he has a shortsword, combat knife and a pair of fusion pistols. He constantly looks at his targets with focused eyes. Unlike his royal counterpart Uriel, Volkarus only accepts Drakon as a patron however he does little to enfoce his belief under the impression that if Drakon really had cared he would ahve given Khaxvis a better chance in life.

Volkarus is nothnig short of sly; choosing his words carefully he speaks in dulcet tones in a confident manner. When afraid he has been known to hyperventilate and emits a coninuous low growl that follows a rythm of slow breathing whenever he is angered or agitated. Some words (such as 'Ultanos') have also been known to set off this trait. He is constantly caareful and quiet, preferring to stay within the shadows when he can although he has little against doing things himself. He shows little apparent care for anyone who suffers from any of his plans or actions, primarily concerned with his own survival. The only exception to this rule is with others in the Khaxvis bloodline and he considers each death - no matter how insignificant or pointless - to be worty of his vengence.

Skills
First-and-foremost Volakaron is a negotiatior, preferring to fight with words to break his target's will or bend someone to hus cause with several choice words. In combat he is known for being flamboyant, focusing on several rapid-fire attacks and seamlessly shifting between slicing with a blade and firing from one of his pistols. He only resorts to combat when other options have been exhausted and is not above using flattery to fulfill his goals.

=History= Volkaron was born into the Khaxvis remmnant - a group containing the descendants of a surviving clutch of Khaxvis-line eggs - and like his brothers and sisters he venerates these clutch members. Raised in secrecy from the rest of the empire he was taught from a young age that house Khaxvis deserved the imperial throne. Like his kin he was raised in mediocrity within a a fortified compound for the house and for the first decade of his life knew little of the outside galaxy. At a young age he became experienced with organising and commanding mercenary groups and by the age of 55 he was commanding mercenary groups against high-profile targets of house Ultanos. His skill and subtlety made it hard for the house to realise who was fighting them.

At the age of 95 he was placed in charge of the remmnant's finances and made backroom deals with several crime syndicates. his talent for negotiation shone through with such deals and was secretly keeping crime down within the empire. On occasion he would still work to recruit mercenary groups and by the age of 100 had become the head of the remmnant after a Blood Dragon raid on the compound he was hatched in.

Andromeda War
When the attacked Solvani III word quickly reached the remmnant of their firepower. For a time Volkarus wondered if they would make suitable allies but the attack on Crepusculum sealed his decision: The Brood would make perfect allies. He realised they were the embodiement of his vision of a 'purer' empire, one that had not grown soft through diplomacy (as was his opinion of the modern Draconis Empire). A month after the attack he organised for a shuttle to secretly transport him to their leader.

For the first time in decades, someone impressed him. Volkarus was moved by the apparent sympathy showed for the remmnant's cause. The agreement to an alliance was sealed after Tyraz promised him the oppertunity of descension; to have such power overwhemed him with pride and he agreed that the remmnant would side with the Brood in exchange for their support in placing the Khaxvis (specifically Volkarus himself) on the imperial throne.
