"Assumptions Are Deadly"

Titles: Nagus, Renegade, Dan Gor Corte

Name: Narkre Victor

Age: 38

Family: If he ever had any he does not speak of them, save to his closest companions, although his salute of  "El'far'tha be with you" speaks of a past that stretches beyond the borders of the Dynasty.

Brief History: Narkre Victor burst on to the inter planetary scene with the force of a hurricane and with as much regard for the structure of power as  such a natural disaster.  What really made him terrifying to the Congress was that he quite deliberately attacked the planets that were at the bottom of the economic structure, disrupting the entire chain of commerce and taxation, denying essential supplies to the military of the era and pulling man power away from the most necessary industries.  What wasn't reported by the news channels of the period was that the slaves taken from the foundries and mining worlds were not used as valueless cannon fodder but were instead full members of Narkre Victor's force, fighting with both will and training.  Having been abandoned by those in authority to the most ghastly conditions imaginable, the slaves saw Narkre Victor not as a conqueror or monster but as their saviour who fought with them and for them.  As such, Narkre was riding rough shod over the defence of the Dynasty until Andrew Farsight's sword cut short his campaign.

Current Situation:  Having spent twenty years in the shadows following his 'death', Narkre Victor has generally gathered the man power needed to stage a grand entrance once more on the scene, once again pulling those that have been the most abused by those in authority to his cause.  As leader of the Cal Carum, he has built a small but elite trained force that can strike with little warning, destroy defences, take everything not bolted down (and even some things that are) and disappear again without trace.

Personality:  The Void between stars probably has more warmth than Narkre has in his heart. However, whether he is truly evil remains to be seen.  The Dynasty might assume that he is a monster but if Narkre Victor decides that you must die for his plans to succeed he will kill you without a second glance, let alone a second word.  However, if it is not necessary for you to die then he will not lay a finger on you, he may even save your life; after all you may be useful to him tomorrow and that usefulness would be rather nullified if you are already dead.

Skills: A master of the Black Panther style of the nimbus sword but he has not been idle in his years of hiding and has apparently invented a fighting style all his own.  He is also a good pilot, if not quite up to the standard of Harrison Felux and can put a bolt through a target at five hundred clicks.  He has also learnt an unarmed fighting style and can kill just as easily with those over long, four jointed fingers of his as he can with any other weapon.  There are also some rumours that he has received some instruction in the killing arts of the Stealth, although how he convinced the masters of Renegade and Rosinante murder to teach one of their prey their highly specialised skills, remains to be seen.

Chosen Actor: Classified (Spoiler Alert)
