Captain:Kradik

"Ah, such delicate things! Come, strike the hide of the Armored Titan! No shell or blade shall cut me, for I am without vulnerability!"

- Kradik

Kradik is a Bygorian Warlord native to Cyrannus, now living in the Mirus, as a high Ranking commander of the Zarbania Powers.

Formerly a patriotic warrior of the Bygorian Imperium, Kradik almost joined the Primal Rebel Movement, before growing tired of their brutal means, and joining the Powers, now fully believing he is spreading order and stability across the cosmos. He has gained the title of Domain Lord alongside such faces as Empress Auriela of the Changelings and Pidoriix.

While Kradik prefers to keep the look of a savage brute and unintelligent monster, he hides behind his skull-like head an impressive intelligence and strategic mind, and deep care for the Troopers and militia placed under his command.

Early life
Kradik was born on the home world of Bygore Major, and would attempt to go enter into the school system. However, when it was found out who he was, he was captured and taken to the Emperor, where it was revealed he was his illegitimate child. Kradik, as such, would then be raised as one of the Emperor's Holy-born, one of his heirs, and groomed to rule at least part of the empire.

However, a small rebellion had started against the Emperor, despite his best attempts to fight it peacefully. During this time, Kradik became involved with a young women of his kind from another Clan, and sought to court her. However, the Captain of the Bygorian Royal Guard, Ancreest, would actually accept a bribe from the Rebels, and execute the royal family and all it's members, before personally "breaking" Kradik. This lead to his legendary nickname as Broken Warrior. Ancreest, as promised, was allowed to rule, but soon had the rebels executed, to prevent them from manipulating his rule, as a group of Bygorian split, as they where still loyal to the Emperor.

It is unknown what occurred next, but Kradik was left on a shuttle to the darker regions of the Cyrannus galaxy, but managed to kill the warriors sent to guard him. Having little memory of his past, and knowing he had no home to go back to within the Bygorian territory, Kradik charted a course for the closest galaxy he could reach; Mirus.

Escaping his galaxy was surprisingly easy, and he came to Mirus just as his fuel ran out. At first, believing he was to drift ceaselessly before his death, Kradik prepared for the worst. However, as he was about to abandon hope, a Fleet of black and red ships arrived. They belonged to Zarbania, and where on a scouting mission, while under the command of one of their rulers,. Rescuing the Bygorian, Gridlock soon saw a kindred spirit within the Bygorian, and accepted him as a high ranking commander.

Channeling his anger towards his enemies, Kradik soon proved not only effective at leading, but also became famous among his men for the care he took in trying to preserve as many of their lives as possible. After he was allowed vacation for a while, Kradik disappeared, and returned to the Powers in a new body. Now called by his troops, the "Armored Titan of Zarbania", Kradik vowed to lead his men with all his new power that he could afford.

War of Pirates
During the war of pirates, Kradik lead many successful assaults on many the planets of the Pirates' enemies, such as the Staes of Cow and the Arkit Republic. He destroyed countless enemies, earning a reputation of a conqueror. Mercy never crossed his heart, as he destroyed and enslaved countless foes. However, when the war ended, Kradik was forced to retreat.

Aterro Dominatus
When to Drakodominatus Tyranny came fully under attack, their allies, the Imperium of War, asked the Powers to help them out. Many Highlords were hesitant to do so, not trusting the Tyranny, Gridlock being neutral towards it, but Kradik eventually managed to convince all of them of the advantages when they did. He, Bisarko and Bisarko's son Teridaxias were soon able to get into contact with the Tyranny, with the help of the Imperium of War. While Bisarko was more interested in the Dominatus' ideology and policies, Teridaxias and Kradik were more into the Ultima Severillis Serum and in how the Overseers were created. In order to gain the Tyranny's trust, Kradik participated in many battles alongside them, once again proving himself to be a capable commander. The Tyranny was impressed by this, and he was allowed to replace his guard with Hounds of Kuzushimasu, Abominations of Azathoth, Heralds of Mosivam and even some Blademasters of Hag'mar'ah. Kradik also gained a interest in the overseers primarly deployed in Cyrannus, the Beholders of Oculon and especially the Praetorians of Azuris, though he descided not to include them in his retinue...yet. Nevertheless, the resulting force was a force to be truly feared, and even managed to attack Matrukoris.

Just before the allies attacked Demogorgon Prime, the homewold of the Tyranny, Kradik and Terridaxis managed to unlock the secret behind the creation of the Overseers, allowing them to start a similar project. When the attack begun, Bisarko and Teridaxis did not intervene, knowing the Tyranny was lost. However, Kradik was unwilling to leave his overseer retinue to die, and valiantly stayed behind, but not before donating a sample of DNA to his aid, Kul'talis. While he and his overseer guards put up a good fight, they were eventually killed. Kradik buried under a fresh landslide, being insta-fossilized as a result, with his body becoming a new natural landmark. The planet was glassed soon afterwards, and so was Kradik's corpse, making the landmark permanent. Some months after the fall of the Tyranny, the Powers used Kul'talis' sample he had saved and brought him back.

As the Centurion Project, the one based around the Overseers, Kradik trained one of them, a Bachyeon named Kamal on how to use his powers and abilities to fight for the Powers.

Coming of Eternal War
Following the war, Kradik was cloned back to life after Gridlock was ordered to save his ally, the Imperium of War, from the continuous attacks from the Troodontid Empire. Kradik was chosen for "knowing the land best", and would lead a fleet into Cyrannus to help defend the IoW colonies there, and gain colonies for the Powers. On this mission, he woud take Headmistress Gorash and Teval with him, as well as Terridaxias and his Centurions. In case anything would go wrong, Bisarko as well as Bisarko's offsprings Makatus and Heterrah would come in with their fleets as extra support. Kradik, however, exclaimed this would not be needed, and heeded to Cyrannus in order to put an end to the Troodontids. However, in his mind, he had formed a much larger plan...

New Cyrandia Wars
"I finally see potential in the mother-galaxy. It finally has the right...Texture. To be my throne. To become my prize in the Zarbanian quest for domination. Yes, the broken Bygorian returns, and he shall lead a nation to glory!"

- Kradik

During the, Kradik finally saw his oppurtunity to strike the home galaxy with a full invasion fleet. Contacting Gridlock and High Command, he quickly expalined the situation, hardly able to contain his excitement. The 3 Highlords and High Command accepted his plan for invasion, and sent him out to claim the galaxy.

Kradik carefully choose his lieutents to help carry out his plan. He choose high ranking Headmistress Gorash, as well as experianced Fleet Marshalls Toccos and Darcao, and Admirals Tarsik and Jiraso, impressed by certian aspects of their personality and their commitment to the Zarbanian vision.

Kradik organized his fleet, named the 13th Fleet of Reclaimation, and began a plan, one with him as the victor over ever civilization in the Home-galaxy, starting with the unification of his people.

Kradik began by bringing his forces close enough to Bygorian territory, but careful enough not to be detected by any native races. With this completed, Kradik ordered his fleet to send out surveyor drones, in order to find a suitable planet. He then tasked, his second-in-command, and a group of Changelings, with infiltrating both Bygorian Imperium and Royal Army, so as to know when to strike the 2 at the right moment, and unite them with the least amount of blood shed.
 * Year 1

He would also find a planet to colonize to act as the first of many supply and military bases for his units.

Finally, after monitoring the situation, Kradik would make several moves, including the in sighting of rebellion against the Imperium, diverse of it's navy from important zones, and, under disguise, convincing the Rebel Movement, who was still loyal to the Bygorian Royal family, to join his forces. Finally, Kradik would make a move against the Capital of Bygore major, and move in.

While at first facing trouble, his troops where allowed to land, and he, still in disguise as a servant of himself, and Kul'talis, as well as the Rebel leaders, moved into the Capital to discuss a peace treaty for reunification.

However, discuss degenerating between in-fighting between Kradik and Ancreest, until Kradik revealed his past; He was the last surviving son of the Royal Family, betrayed by Ancreest and left to die, before the Zarbanian saved him. Still in a normal Bygorian body, he provided much evidence, and convinced the leaders of both sides to join, and had his guards arrest Ancreest.

Kradik, over the next few weeks, would reorganize his forces, government and empire, creating the, with plans to attack the Galactic Empire. Unfortunately, as a back-up plan, he pretended to cut ties with the Main Powers, so his new empire could be seen as a native civilization in case he had to withdraw. But first, he had another problem to deal with...

Personality
Kradik is a monstrous, savage ruler, never letting anything get in his way in battle. He is the "punisher"-type of commander in the Powers, using devastating attack on his enemies and demoralizing them into surrendering to him. He has an extreme dislike for other Cyrannian lifeforms, and hates the Cyrannian Imperium and most other native civilizations, for what he believes to be imbedding his people's "progress". Kradik is currently devising a battle plan for invading the galaxy, called the Scharkor Plan. Of course, the Plan is not a simple battle plan, and has several alternate "What-if" secernaoris, something common for Kradik. Kradik is secretely very lonely since the death of his past mate, and prefers not to talk about it to anyone else, and only has talked about it to Gridlock.

Kradik sees his new body as an inspiration to his troops, believeing his massive form and supposed immortality would inspire his troops to believe a demigod fought with them. He believes that if he where simply a normal Bygorian, anything could kill him, but with his new power nothing could touch him. Because of this, his troops take to calling him the Armored Titan, and it is a title he takes pride in, for it shows his troops trust in his power.

Kradik prefers brute force, and shock and awe, to devastate his enemies, but to say he is a mere brute would be a grave mistake, as he is an extreme tactical genius, commanding small militia forces with great efficiency against other armies. He displays keen knowledge in weapons design and starship design, designing the Kavellerist-class corvette for Zarbanian fleets. He also has rudimentary knowledge in building design, though usually uses this knowledge to knock them down the best.

Kradik had a large amount of respect for the Overseers of the Drakodominatus and the Dominatus themselves, unlike other members of High Command, who thought of them as mutated monsters. The reason he had such respect for them was because he once was considered a mutated monster, and only achieved such position in High Command through hard work and conquest.

Like all of his kind, Kradik is a strong believer in the as gods, and as even introduced the religion as a sect of the Zarbanian Powers' own religion.

Appearance
As a normal Bygorian, Kradik was fairly attractive for his species, possessing dark green scales, with a red glossy finish over them. His eyes are highly focused, and very cold in appearance. He is very tall for his race, and towers over most others.
 * As a Bygorian

Standing at 50 meters, Kradik is one of the most massive beings in the Powers. With rock hard, green scales, and pure red eyes, Kradik's back bristles with spikes, and spikes grow from his shoulders as well, both of which he can disattach and regrow them. It's unknown how he achieved this form, as all leaders are required to enter into Science Command logs when they receive genetic upgrades and the like.
 * As a Monster

Abilities
Kradik has extremely hard skin, which are quite rigid, and he actually can control the scales to do certain things, for example, hardening them to allow projectiles to deflect off, or softening, so as to reduce damage from impacts by projectiles or falling. His eyes and inner-mouth are soft, softer than his skin in soft state even, and his only weak points. He can detach spikes from his back as swords, or shot is own claws from his fingers, to act as boomerangs. All of these regrow near instantly. He can also fire explosive rocks from his maw.

Kradik can also create miniature versions of himself called Fake Kradik to guard himself. While weaker, they can be created easily, though, he is uncomfortable with making them, implying it is strange process to say the least.

Kradik can seemingly create the same Synapse field as advanced warrior beasts, allowing to control the monsters bio-engineered by Zarbanian Science Command. His field causing the monsters to have further durability, at a cost of speed.

Command and combat style
While Kradik prefers to use his massive power and overwhelming abilities, Kradik also enjoys subterfuge and pin-point strikes before moving in with his ground force. Kradik will often fight alongside his men to inspire them.
