Zahark Nostromo

Main Page

Background

Raised by his grandfather Elijah aboard the Redemption of Man, Zaharks upbringing was relatively Idyllic, he took well to his studies and enjoyed the privileges of his houses (diminished) status.

All this ended when the Redemption was Attacked and boarded by Chaos marauders. Zahark was captured and taken from the vessel before an emergency translation attempt caused it to be lost to the warp with all hands.

Now treated more like a prized slave than the scion of aristocracy he knew himself to be, Zahark endured privation and hardship at the hands of his captors. Their cruelty forged a deep pragmatism within him alongside an eternal enmity and will to survive.

Hope came at last when the Imperial navy ambushed his captors, taking the opportunity afforded by the laxity of imprisonment due to his long captivity, he turned his powers on his captors Sowing discord on the ship and allowing it to be boarded. It was during this escape that he acquired a Xenotech Disintegrator Cannon from the raiders cache of rare treasures, a weapon that served him well as he fought his way to the navy lines and has never left his side since.

He served for a while within the navy, but suspicious eyes were ever upon him. Few were accepting of the strange habits and dark appetites his stay with the unclean had left him with, and he knew his station would be forever frozen as long as he had no compact of his own.

Simple Merchant work was out of the question, his former captors were not wiped out, and he feared that they would seek him out, to bend him once more to their service. He needed protection more complete than a merchant could grant and prestige and wealth far greater than the navy would offer. His house had fallen because of a rogue trader, perhaps with a rogue trader it would rise again.

Description

Zahark is of above average Height with a slim build, utterly hairless with chalk white skin and pure black eyes. Classically aristocratic features with high cheekbones and an aquiline nose, his skin is unscarred and unblemished. His normal attire consists of fine black silks over his finely crafted armor. Sable of hue and with the symbols of the Navis Nobilitae picked out in gold thread. A hood of the same material customarily covers his head. He carries his primary weapon as a large silk wrapped bundle on his back, the wrapping clasped for quick release and easy access.

Although his speech is cultured and aristocratic, he draws no distinction between those of high birth and low, merely between those competent and not. His temperament is unstable and varies wildly between icy calm and almost incandescent rage.
