| '''Zxyl Venzos''' is a Force Disciple aligned with the [[starwars:dark side|dark side of the Force]] that is strongly affiliated with [[Clan Taldryan]], currently serving both as Aedie of [[House Ektrosis]] and the first-named [[Praetor]] to the [[Regent|Regent of the Brotherhood]]. An ancient being from the height of the [[starwars:Sith Order|Sith Order]] during the [[starwars:Fall of the Old Republic|Old Republic era]], Zxyl served several masters before freeing himself of their influence. He was later frozen in stasis for almost two thousand years. After his awakening from stasis by the Sith Alchemist [[Nihlus Vexrii]], Venzos was recruited into the Brotherhood. | | '''Zxyl Bes'uliik''', also known as the '''Iron Beast of Manday'aim,''' '''Breaker of Bones,''' and the '''Naur'alor''', is a non Force-sensitive Mandalorian General and genetically-altered Dathomirian Nightbrother who has the distinction of being the longest serving [[Regent|Regent of the Brotherhood]] before he was succeeded by [[Thran Occasus]]. He is an enigmatic figure of two unique heritages, born on the desolate planet Dathomir before being cast out into the wild lands and rescued by the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik, who adopted him as a Foundling and brought him to their ancestral homeworld of Nau'ur where he was instructed in their ancient knowledge of beskar forging practices, cultures, lore, and combat and war tactics. |

| | == Knowledge == |
| | Zxyl contains a vast myriad of knowledge across several topics and both the Mandalorian and Dathomirian cultures through years of intense training, research, and indoctrination. |
| | |
| | Having been raised by the Mandalorian Armorers of the hidden beskar-veined Mandalorian world Nau'ur as a Foundling, Bes'uliik is familiar with the ancient history, cultures, and lore of his adoptive people including the Mandalorian Code and Way of the Mandalore. He was instructed in a vast array of Mandalorian-related topics during his adolescence including but not explicitly limited to their ancient forging practices of beskar, Mandalorian combat tactics and war histories, advanced metallurgy and experimental engineering. He has been known to use this knowledge to guide and aid wayward Mandalorians, acting as a steward for any that require the knowledge he has. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the ''Mandalorian Creed''',''' Way of the Mandalore''',''''' and various ''Mandalorian Codes'' such as the ''Mandalorian Code of Combat''. |
| | |
| | Despite his indoctrination into the Mandalorian religion, to which he has a strong preference given his tumultuous history on the planet Dathomir, this genetically-altered Dathomirian has not forgotten his heritage and where he came from. He has learned the ancient culture and lore of the Dathomirian people, including the ancient forging techniques and practices used on the Zabrak's ancestral homeworld of Peridea, as well as their Magick. |
|
| |
|
| == Biography ==
| | Zxyl Bes'uliik uses his knowledge to gain advantage, lead the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik who follow him, and forge both alliances and gear. He is fluent in several languages, such as Ancient Mando'a and Dadita used by the Mandalorians, Peridean as used by the Dathomirians, the general Zabraki language, Galactic Basic, Binary, and the ancient Sith language of ur-Kittât. |
| === The Old Republic ===
| |
| ==== Not So Humble Beginnings ====
| |
| Zxyl was born into a small Dashade colony and similarly small family of just himself, his mother, and his father, on a terrestrial planet rotating a binary star deep inside the [[starwars:Outer Rim|Outer Rim]] away from galactic politics and the wars between the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] and their [[starwars:Sith|counterparts]]. His people had formed a colony on the small unknown world to escape prosecution from those that wished to do them harm, but imposed themselves on the native [[starwars:Human|Human]] species that resided there. Because the colony had took what they wanted, when they wanted it, they were in near-constant conflict with the Humans and were often engulfed in war. During the first several years of Venzos' existence he was immediately seen among his people as a trouble maker for the small colony, and required constant saving from situations he forced himself into; whether it be getting trapped, nearly maimed, or just downright causing trouble within the colony. | |
|
| |
|
| Even from a young age the Dashade was taught to be a killer and hunter, which only contributed to the hardships he'd face as he got older. Zxyl was wildly detached from the norms of his people, often breaking tradition or protocol to do something that would end disastrous for him. During one hunt for local fauna just after his tenth birthday, Venzos' kill was stolen by a younger Human occupant in a close-by village that had strayed to far in a similar hunt for fauna. In complete anger the young Zyxl had lashed out at the Human boy, slaying him from behind and leaving his body to hang. The encounter was traced back to his colony by the Human population there, starting another conflict after two years of uninterrupted peace between the two. Although his family and species kin had defended him, he was considered a major outcast among them for bringing harm and war to the colony.
| | == Abilities == |
| | Bes'uliik has near unparalleled skills inside a forge, a master of crafting. He is incredibly adept in arcane, ancient Dathomirian, and ancient Mandalorian forging techniques, and he can craft nearly any article - of war or otherwise - desired by those that request and are worthy of his services as The Naur'alor. the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Bes'uliik - which he now leads since their reformation. He has used his incredible skills as a Mandalorian Armorer to craft various armors for Mandalorians across the Brotherhood, including the likes of [[Idris Adenn]], [[Appius Wight]], both of whom he considers brothers, and others. He has crafted numerous things, and spends most of his time behind a workbench. |
|
| |
|
| Not long after he came of age, the Dashade came upon a departing starship meant for [[starwars:Known Space|Known Space]]. Stowing aboard the craft, Zxyl made his escape from the colony and Human population that hated him dearly. His plan had backfired almost immediately however as it wasn't long before he was discovered, and forced into temporary servitude by the ship's Human crew once he was subdued, for the many months that the journey took. The starship eventually made its way into [[starwars:Hutt Space|Hutt Space]] and landed on the moon [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], where Venzos was sold into slavery to the Hutts.
| | As a Dathomirian by birth, Zxyl can rely on his incredibly limited practical knowledge of ancient Shadow Magick to assist in things such as looking into the future, amplifying his natural abilities beyond their normal capabilities, and moving objects with telekinesis. He is a natural born leader, deploying his high intellect acumen and leadership skills to lead those that follow him with resolute honor that supersedes even his own desires. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Slave to the Hutts ====
| | Like most Nightbrothers - and Mandalorians - he has a penchant for combat and is able to deploy a wide range of combat abilities, tactics, and weapons to combat his enemies, using his incredible resolve to stay resolute in even the most toughest of battles or wars. The Mandalorian General is a capable lightsaber duellist who has intensively studied the Vapaad and Djem So lightsaber forms, and frequently uses his various light-weapons such as his triple-phase lightsaber and hidden lightsaber vambrace to deadly effect. While he has also learned the ancient art of Trakata, Bes'uliik does not rely solely on light-weapons as his only means of combat; capable of deploying a myriad of weapons effectively such as blasters, his gravity hammer and custom Mandalorian vambrace, as well as bladed weapons to deadly effect, often dual-wielding his assorted weaponry. |
| ===== The Fighting Pits =====
| |
| The Dashade was sold to Fargor the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]], a fat and slimy beast that dwarfed most members of his own [[starwars:species|species]]. Fargor owned several fighting arenas across the sector, and recognized the Dashade almost immediately for his brutish and no-holds-barred fighting style. Venzos was subsequently forced first into the smaller fighting pits as an enslaved gladiator, made to fight smaller - though still dangerous - fauna and other slaves of Fargor for show. Those who watched the encounters yearned for a spectacle, but Zxyl almost constantly disappointed them by dispatching his targets quickly. It was during his sixth encounter in the smaller pits that he was forced to fight several opponents who had graduated from simple slaves to deadly killers - two Humans, one [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]], one [[starwars:Weequay|Weequay]], and a scorched [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] - truly testing his skills in combat. Although Venzos dispatched the first three foes - both Humans and the Wookiee - with little fanfare using a simple Vibroblade, the weapon was destroyed by the Weequay and his leg suffered a serious injury by the Trandoshan target. For the first time since being forced to fight, the Dashade's life was truly on the line.
| |
|
| |
|
| With the crowds cheering at the first sign of Zxyl's weakness in the pits, the Weequay - who had lost everything prior to becoming a slave - rushed ahead without thinking and came to strike him down with a large overhead slash from his own weapon, a massive vibrosword almost as tall as the Dashade himself. The injured Venzos managed to successfully maneuver his devastated leg into a position of leverage however, and shoved the broken blade of his sword directly through the armored chest of his opponent with incredible strength he was unaware he possessed. The massive vibroblade never connected with him, and was dropped to the ground with a dying curse from the impaled opponent. With only one target remaining he took the Weequay's weapon, and launched empowered strikes against the final foe, struggling to keep his footing with his diminished appendage. The Trandoshan opponent held the upper hand for almost a full minute, quickly forcing the reptilian into defense. Zxyl bided his time, and waited for the most opportune moment to strike out. He severed the Trandoshan's right arm from his body, severely weakening his ability to block strikes from the massive sword bearing down on him.
| | Although relatively on par with the physicality of a seasoned soldier, Bes'uliik is astonishingly strong and can deploy that might at a moments notice, earning him the title of The Breaker of Bones. |
|
| |
|
| The large Dashade eventually dispatched the Trandoshan with a game of feline-and-rodent as well, but not without suffering great blood loss. He collapsed at the end of the round to roaring crowds, and later awoke in the medical area of a completely different arena on the world of [[starwars:Nal Hutta|Nal Hutta]]. The Dashade's Huttese master had been enamored with his skills, and moved him to a larger arena to attract greater attention and personal wealth from bidding on the fights. While Venzos won most of his fights with little damage, continuously honing his abilities as a killer, there were several instances in which the hulking behemoth suffered greatly and took many planetary cycles to recover. Still, his hatred for his situation allowed him to persevere, and continued to build a name for himself as a gladiator. With each person he defeated, he [[CS Guide: Species#Dashade|devoured]] their life essence to feed his hunger and quicken the healing process compared to other individuals. | | = Equipment = |
| | The equipment listed here is Zxyl's most used equipment, although he is not strictly limited to this list and often deploys whatever equipment is most suitable for a given situation. |
|
| |
|
| Zxyl's final encounter in the fighting pits came shortly after his twenty-third birthday. Fargor had set-up a hand-to-hand match between the Dashade and his opponents, two [[starwars:Twi'lek|Twi'leki]] brothers skilled in that form of combat. Though the two initially had the upper hand against their reptilian foe, Zxyl's brute strength and clawed hands made quick work without much of a spectacle. Finally accepting his slave was no show-man and would never bring him the wealth he desired through the fighting pits, Fargor chose to free Venzos from that endless conflict if he agreed to hunt for him - bounties and other high valuable targets. Yearning for some freedom, the Dashade accepted and graduated from the arena fighter he had spent several years as to an assassin. Although he would still be in servitude, he was no longer bound to a small holding area filled with others. He could dress and arm himself as he saw fit with liberties the reptilian did not have before, and concentrate without the roaring of the crowds at his backsides. Venzos immediately took advantage of the situation, setting out to do some more harm for bad people.

|
| ===== Hunter for the Hutts ===== | | ==== Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam ==== |
| Returning to Nar Shaddaa until his master called for him, Zxyl took several several jobs for his own pleasure to continue honing his skills and amass a small bit of wealth to operate freely, always taking pleasure in the kill and ensuring he devoured the life essence of is enemies. Under his first job in his new position for Fargo, the Dashade was tasked with hunting down a businessman in the [[starwars:Inner Rim|Inner Rim]] that had shorted the Hutts on protection payment. Although he had taken his sweet time in locating his target, Venzos was quick to return him to the Hutt after spending mere moments with him and discovering he was incredibly annoying. It didn't take long after returning the man to Fargor before the slimy beast took the businessman's life via his guards. The second task the reptilian killer had been given was the assassination of a corrupt [[starwars:Senator|Senator]] from a well-known world in the deep core, [[starwars:Anaxes|Anaxes]].
| | Originally crafted by a long-dead member of Clan Bes'uliik for an ancient Manda'lor, the armor was returned to the ancestral homeworld of Zxyl's clan eons ago. When he finally graduated from Foundling to full fledged Mandalorian he was gifted the armor by his adoptive father, Krast Bes'uliik, to which the younger Bes'uliik modified to suit his purpose. The armor itself has gone through three major iterations since his first interaction with the Brotherhood, starting from its initial form to the armor he presently wears - consistently pulling from ancient Mandalorian designs and armors as he continously upgrades and modifies it to suit his abilities, standing, and crafting acumen. The present armor is a heavily custom armored beskar exoskeleton, and eschews a few traditional Mandalorian pieces for those that are completely custom. His armor does not bear the Ka'rta (or Mandalorian Iron Heart) in its typical place on his chestplate, as it is formed from three separate pieces. Instead the Iron Heart is located in a buckle on a strap used to secure the large pauldrons of ancient Manda'lors to his chestplate. |
|
| |
|
| | His helmet also follows the designs of ancient Manda'lors such as Mandalore the Ultimate, primarily gold in color with an underlying dark gunmetal grey piece that forms the main shell of the helmet. Expandable slots for his beskar and cerakote-crafted horns that open and close around them to seal the helmet from atmospheric pressure changes have been integrated into the "crown", allowing him to wear the helmet. The suit is crafted entirely from the purest alloys of the rare metal beskar and is both lightsaber resistant and capable of entering through all classes of atmospheres during an orbital drop, offering near unparalleled protection to the wearer. It is synced with his custom Mandalorian Vambrace Gauntlet to offer a unique armor combination. |
|
| |
|
| | Zxyl's beskar'gam is entirely unique to him and him alone, featuring a design not seen anywhere else. Several unique upgrades have been made to the once archaic armor to bring it in line with his own rigiorus standards such as knee-pad rocket darts, a specialized utility arm hidden in one of the pauldrons to assist him in a multitude of technical tasks, and a miniaturized hypermatter reactor built into the chestplate to power the armor. An artificial intelligence system has been integrated into the helmet, and has access to the wide range of sensors present in the beskar'gam. The Helpful Artificial Lackey (or H.A.L.) can control all armor systems including his jetpack, either solely at its own loyal discretion or Bes'uliik's command. It can communicate with him both verbally through spoken word or visually through indicators, alerts, and text on his heads-up display. |

| == Trivia == | | ===== Design ===== |
| * First Praetor to the [[Regent]]
| | ''Peridea'' is an ancient Dathomirian lightsaber forged eons ago by one of the first Night Mothers to make the great journey from the Zabrak's inter-galactic ancestral homeworld of Peridea to the planet Dathomir in the Known Galaxy and is named in honor of that ancestral homeworld. It was constructed by the unknown Night Mother partially as a test of her abilities to mix her traditional Magick with the mainstream lightsaber, and could have been considered technologically advanced at that time. |
| * Alternative Character is '''[[Nihlus Vexrii]]'''
| | |
| | The hilt design is completely custom made and considered one-of-a-kind, with the casing constructed using a mix of Phrik and traditional Nightsister alloys to create an ichor-imbued Phrik-alloy casing. The weapon bears a weathered look, with dark grey plating and angular lines - including the dagger like emitter shroud. About thirty percent of the hilt is curved for the user's hand, with a multi-activation switch assembly that activates the lightsaber on the inside edge of the concave. Affixed to the weapon is a traditional crimson fabric of Dathomiri Spider-silk woven by the Nightsisters wrapped around around the bottom seventy percent of the hilt, hanging off loosely at the bottom. |
| | |
| | ===== Unique Characteristics ===== |
| | This weapon is by design a dual-phase lightsaber weapon via a dual-phase emitter matrix, capable of producing a lightsaber blade or firing bolts of lightsaber energy at reduced power compared to the strength of the blade. |
| | |
| | When activated in its primary mode using the main portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes along the upper most portion of the emitter shroud - which is angular in design instead of round like a traditional lightsaber - begin to glow an ichor-green, with the emitter producing a sword blade shape similar to the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darksaber ''Darksaber'']. The outer edges as well as the bottom half of the blade's core are a sickly ichor-green and put off a green smoke, with the ichor-green in the core fading to an onyx black further away from the emitter matrix. |
| | |
| | When a lightsaber bolt is fired in its secondary mode using the second portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes pulse an ichor green whenever the Tainted Nightsister Crystal is harnessed, with a bolt of ichor-green colored and weakend lightsaber energy then launching from the emitter. |
| | |
| | ===== History ===== |
| | |
| | ====== Prior to Ownership Under Zxyl Bes'uliik ====== |
| | ''Peridea'' was constructed on the planet Dathomir thousands of years ago by an Unknown Night Mother after her journey from the lightsaber's namesake to Dathomir and the emergence of stable light-weapon technologies, believing that although their Shadow Magick was unique and strong that they needed to be prepared for any threat against their coven. She forged it using a diamond-shaped kyber crystal corrupted by her Magick as its heart and a unique combination of Phrik and ichor-imbued traditional Nightsister metal to form a Phrik-alloy casing as its outer shell. |
| | |
| | Although the weapon was decried as heretical by her fellow sisters, the Night Mother retained ownership for nearly a century before her demise of old age, at which point the weapon passed to her daughter. This ownership cycle continued with the weapon remaining relatively unused and kept as a family artifact. During the High Republic its owner, a Nightsister in the upper echelons of their coven, passed the weapon to her mate after he won her hand in a performance of the arena. A slave captured from a rival Dathomiri clan, she broke traditional Nightsister coven norms by engaging in a full marriage with the Zabrak male. Her mate fully devoted himself to the ways of the Nightbrothers, using Peridea in countless skirmishes to dominate his opponents and realise the potential of the dual-phase lightsaber. He used it to eventually take leadership of the Nightbrothers, whom he and his Nightsister wife kept subordinate to the Nightsister witches. |
| | |
| | Prior to their deaths the lightsaber - ancient by this time - was locked away in a hidden redoubt in the Dathomir wastelands The redoubt was found by Zxyl Bes'uliik centuries later during 41 ABY after one of his expeditions to his home planet and taken by him to serve as a mark of and to honor his Dathomiri heritage. |

| | = How to Write = |
| | |
| | == Demeanor == |
| | Zxyl is quiet, cold, and a bit calculating. He speaks with purpose, does not surgar=coat what he says (although is still respectful). He is an avid follower of the Way of the Mandalore and Mandalorian Creed, and shows both physical and verbal contempt for those that opt to break the tenants of the Mandalorian Creed. This Dathomirian-Mandalorian always believes his way is best - he is who he is, and that's who he is. |
| | |
| | When speaking, Zxyl's always helmet-modulated voice is joined by a dark, ethereal echo similar to that of the Dathomirian Mother Talzin. This was the result of the infusion of Dathomirian Magick into his soul following a fatal blow dealt to him by Tahiri Tarentae during the Immortal Sith roleplaying storyline on his birth world of Dathomir, used to bring him back to life. |
| | |
| | == The Creed & Way of the Mandalore == |
| | Bes'ulii is a follower of the ''Way of the Mandalore'' Mandalorian religion. While he holds no ill will towards those that follow the ''Orthodox Mandalorian'' religion and remove their helmets, he refuses to do so himself under any circumstance. He will die before he removes his helmet. He is a stringent follower of the several tenants of the ''Mandalorian Creed'', and has been known to become openly hostile to so-called Mandalorians who opt to break the ''Creed'' or dishonor the Mandalorian people and fail to atone for their actions. As Clan Bes'uliik's ''Naur'alor'' he is an incredible wealth of knowledge on the Mandalorian people.. |
| | |
| | Those writing Bes'uliik should study up on the ''Mandalorian Creed'' and ''Way of the Mandalore'', as they are core tenants of his personality and how he conducts himself - especially in the presence of other Mandalorians and how he judges their own actions. |
| | |
| | == Respect == |
| | Zxyl Bes'uliik seeks to earn the respect of others, and offers the same level of respect in return. If someone slights him, he will not immediately react to it, but continued slights will damage their standing with the Mandalorian General and risk pushing their relationship with him to the brink of no-return. Those that lose his respect must work hard to get it back, and Bes'uliik treats them in accordance with the level of respect they have earned. Simply having a title or being someone important matters almost nought to him, his respect is based solely on their actions. |
| | |
| | == Combat == |
| | This Mandalorian General is fluent in several forms of combat, with feats and allocated skill points that bring most of the weapon skills on his character sheet to the ''Master'' (+5) level such as Blasters, Lightsaber, Blunt Weapons, and Miscellaneous Weapons. |
| | |
| | Zxyl uses his Proficient (+3) Dual Wielding skill to frequently field two different weapons in his arsenal at the same time, whether it be his vambraces or handheld weapons. While not always the case, he uses his arsenal to the greatest effect it can have in a given combat situation. He primarily operates with blaster weaponry (such as his custom WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistol or one of his vambrace weapons) when in long ranged situations, and for close quarters combat relies primarily on one of his light-weapons - though he is known to field a beskar gravity hammer and lightsaber resistant bladed weapons when light-weapons aren't overly necessary. He deploys his dual-phase hidden lightsaber vambrace at the most opportune times and typically strikes with it when his opponent least expects it, and regularly uses the various phases of his triple-phase lightsaber and ancient Dathomirian light-sword to overwhelm and keep opponents on |
| | |
| | He keeps a solid hold of his emotions during combat, very rarely losing his cool, and isn't afraid to use Shadow Magick to amplify his natural abilities. |

Biography
Knowledge, Abilities & Traits
Knowledge
Zxyl contains a vast myriad of knowledge across several topics and both the Mandalorian and Dathomirian cultures through years of intense training, research, and indoctrination.
Having been raised by the Mandalorian Armorers of the hidden beskar-veined Mandalorian world Nau'ur as a Foundling, Bes'uliik is familiar with the ancient history, cultures, and lore of his adoptive people including the Mandalorian Code and Way of the Mandalore. He was instructed in a vast array of Mandalorian-related topics during his adolescence including but not explicitly limited to their ancient forging practices of beskar, Mandalorian combat tactics and war histories, advanced metallurgy and experimental engineering. He has been known to use this knowledge to guide and aid wayward Mandalorians, acting as a steward for any that require the knowledge he has. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the Mandalorian Creed, Way of the Mandalore, and various Mandalorian Codes such as the Mandalorian Code of Combat.
Despite his indoctrination into the Mandalorian religion, to which he has a strong preference given his tumultuous history on the planet Dathomir, this genetically-altered Dathomirian has not forgotten his heritage and where he came from. He has learned the ancient culture and lore of the Dathomirian people, including the ancient forging techniques and practices used on the Zabrak's ancestral homeworld of Peridea, as well as their Magick.
Zxyl Bes'uliik uses his knowledge to gain advantage, lead the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik who follow him, and forge both alliances and gear. He is fluent in several languages, such as Ancient Mando'a and Dadita used by the Mandalorians, Peridean as used by the Dathomirians, the general Zabraki language, Galactic Basic, Binary, and the ancient Sith language of ur-Kittât.
Abilities
Bes'uliik has near unparalleled skills inside a forge, a master of crafting. He is incredibly adept in arcane, ancient Dathomirian, and ancient Mandalorian forging techniques, and he can craft nearly any article - of war or otherwise - desired by those that request and are worthy of his services as The Naur'alor. the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Bes'uliik - which he now leads since their reformation. He has used his incredible skills as a Mandalorian Armorer to craft various armors for Mandalorians across the Brotherhood, including the likes of Idris Adenn, Appius Wight, both of whom he considers brothers, and others. He has crafted numerous things, and spends most of his time behind a workbench.
As a Dathomirian by birth, Zxyl can rely on his incredibly limited practical knowledge of ancient Shadow Magick to assist in things such as looking into the future, amplifying his natural abilities beyond their normal capabilities, and moving objects with telekinesis. He is a natural born leader, deploying his high intellect acumen and leadership skills to lead those that follow him with resolute honor that supersedes even his own desires.
Like most Nightbrothers - and Mandalorians - he has a penchant for combat and is able to deploy a wide range of combat abilities, tactics, and weapons to combat his enemies, using his incredible resolve to stay resolute in even the most toughest of battles or wars. The Mandalorian General is a capable lightsaber duellist who has intensively studied the Vapaad and Djem So lightsaber forms, and frequently uses his various light-weapons such as his triple-phase lightsaber and hidden lightsaber vambrace to deadly effect. While he has also learned the ancient art of Trakata, Bes'uliik does not rely solely on light-weapons as his only means of combat; capable of deploying a myriad of weapons effectively such as blasters, his gravity hammer and custom Mandalorian vambrace, as well as bladed weapons to deadly effect, often dual-wielding his assorted weaponry.
Although relatively on par with the physicality of a seasoned soldier, Bes'uliik is astonishingly strong and can deploy that might at a moments notice, earning him the title of The Breaker of Bones.
Equipment
The equipment listed here is Zxyl's most used equipment, although he is not strictly limited to this list and often deploys whatever equipment is most suitable for a given situation.
Traditional Mandalorian Equipment
Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam
Originally crafted by a long-dead member of Clan Bes'uliik for an ancient Manda'lor, the armor was returned to the ancestral homeworld of Zxyl's clan eons ago. When he finally graduated from Foundling to full fledged Mandalorian he was gifted the armor by his adoptive father, Krast Bes'uliik, to which the younger Bes'uliik modified to suit his purpose. The armor itself has gone through three major iterations since his first interaction with the Brotherhood, starting from its initial form to the armor he presently wears - consistently pulling from ancient Mandalorian designs and armors as he continously upgrades and modifies it to suit his abilities, standing, and crafting acumen. The present armor is a heavily custom armored beskar exoskeleton, and eschews a few traditional Mandalorian pieces for those that are completely custom. His armor does not bear the Ka'rta (or Mandalorian Iron Heart) in its typical place on his chestplate, as it is formed from three separate pieces. Instead the Iron Heart is located in a buckle on a strap used to secure the large pauldrons of ancient Manda'lors to his chestplate.
His helmet also follows the designs of ancient Manda'lors such as Mandalore the Ultimate, primarily gold in color with an underlying dark gunmetal grey piece that forms the main shell of the helmet. Expandable slots for his beskar and cerakote-crafted horns that open and close around them to seal the helmet from atmospheric pressure changes have been integrated into the "crown", allowing him to wear the helmet. The suit is crafted entirely from the purest alloys of the rare metal beskar and is both lightsaber resistant and capable of entering through all classes of atmospheres during an orbital drop, offering near unparalleled protection to the wearer. It is synced with his custom Mandalorian Vambrace Gauntlet to offer a unique armor combination.
Zxyl's beskar'gam is entirely unique to him and him alone, featuring a design not seen anywhere else. Several unique upgrades have been made to the once archaic armor to bring it in line with his own rigiorus standards such as knee-pad rocket darts, a specialized utility arm hidden in one of the pauldrons to assist him in a multitude of technical tasks, and a miniaturized hypermatter reactor built into the chestplate to power the armor. An artificial intelligence system has been integrated into the helmet, and has access to the wide range of sensors present in the beskar'gam. The Helpful Artificial Lackey (or H.A.L.) can control all armor systems including his jetpack, either solely at its own loyal discretion or Bes'uliik's command. It can communicate with him both verbally through spoken word or visually through indicators, alerts, and text on his heads-up display.

Design
Peridea is an ancient Dathomirian lightsaber forged eons ago by one of the first Night Mothers to make the great journey from the Zabrak's inter-galactic ancestral homeworld of Peridea to the planet Dathomir in the Known Galaxy and is named in honor of that ancestral homeworld. It was constructed by the unknown Night Mother partially as a test of her abilities to mix her traditional Magick with the mainstream lightsaber, and could have been considered technologically advanced at that time.
The hilt design is completely custom made and considered one-of-a-kind, with the casing constructed using a mix of Phrik and traditional Nightsister alloys to create an ichor-imbued Phrik-alloy casing. The weapon bears a weathered look, with dark grey plating and angular lines - including the dagger like emitter shroud. About thirty percent of the hilt is curved for the user's hand, with a multi-activation switch assembly that activates the lightsaber on the inside edge of the concave. Affixed to the weapon is a traditional crimson fabric of Dathomiri Spider-silk woven by the Nightsisters wrapped around around the bottom seventy percent of the hilt, hanging off loosely at the bottom.
Unique Characteristics
This weapon is by design a dual-phase lightsaber weapon via a dual-phase emitter matrix, capable of producing a lightsaber blade or firing bolts of lightsaber energy at reduced power compared to the strength of the blade.
When activated in its primary mode using the main portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes along the upper most portion of the emitter shroud - which is angular in design instead of round like a traditional lightsaber - begin to glow an ichor-green, with the emitter producing a sword blade shape similar to the Darksaber. The outer edges as well as the bottom half of the blade's core are a sickly ichor-green and put off a green smoke, with the ichor-green in the core fading to an onyx black further away from the emitter matrix.
When a lightsaber bolt is fired in its secondary mode using the second portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes pulse an ichor green whenever the Tainted Nightsister Crystal is harnessed, with a bolt of ichor-green colored and weakend lightsaber energy then launching from the emitter.
History
Prior to Ownership Under Zxyl Bes'uliik
Peridea was constructed on the planet Dathomir thousands of years ago by an Unknown Night Mother after her journey from the lightsaber's namesake to Dathomir and the emergence of stable light-weapon technologies, believing that although their Shadow Magick was unique and strong that they needed to be prepared for any threat against their coven. She forged it using a diamond-shaped kyber crystal corrupted by her Magick as its heart and a unique combination of Phrik and ichor-imbued traditional Nightsister metal to form a Phrik-alloy casing as its outer shell.
Although the weapon was decried as heretical by her fellow sisters, the Night Mother retained ownership for nearly a century before her demise of old age, at which point the weapon passed to her daughter. This ownership cycle continued with the weapon remaining relatively unused and kept as a family artifact. During the High Republic its owner, a Nightsister in the upper echelons of their coven, passed the weapon to her mate after he won her hand in a performance of the arena. A slave captured from a rival Dathomiri clan, she broke traditional Nightsister coven norms by engaging in a full marriage with the Zabrak male. Her mate fully devoted himself to the ways of the Nightbrothers, using Peridea in countless skirmishes to dominate his opponents and realise the potential of the dual-phase lightsaber. He used it to eventually take leadership of the Nightbrothers, whom he and his Nightsister wife kept subordinate to the Nightsister witches.
Prior to their deaths the lightsaber - ancient by this time - was locked away in a hidden redoubt in the Dathomir wastelands The redoubt was found by Zxyl Bes'uliik centuries later during 41 ABY after one of his expeditions to his home planet and taken by him to serve as a mark of and to honor his Dathomiri heritage.

How to Write
Demeanor
Zxyl is quiet, cold, and a bit calculating. He speaks with purpose, does not surgar=coat what he says (although is still respectful). He is an avid follower of the Way of the Mandalore and Mandalorian Creed, and shows both physical and verbal contempt for those that opt to break the tenants of the Mandalorian Creed. This Dathomirian-Mandalorian always believes his way is best - he is who he is, and that's who he is.
When speaking, Zxyl's always helmet-modulated voice is joined by a dark, ethereal echo similar to that of the Dathomirian Mother Talzin. This was the result of the infusion of Dathomirian Magick into his soul following a fatal blow dealt to him by Tahiri Tarentae during the Immortal Sith roleplaying storyline on his birth world of Dathomir, used to bring him back to life.
The Creed & Way of the Mandalore
Bes'ulii is a follower of the Way of the Mandalore Mandalorian religion. While he holds no ill will towards those that follow the Orthodox Mandalorian religion and remove their helmets, he refuses to do so himself under any circumstance. He will die before he removes his helmet. He is a stringent follower of the several tenants of the Mandalorian Creed, and has been known to become openly hostile to so-called Mandalorians who opt to break the Creed or dishonor the Mandalorian people and fail to atone for their actions. As Clan Bes'uliik's Naur'alor he is an incredible wealth of knowledge on the Mandalorian people..
Those writing Bes'uliik should study up on the Mandalorian Creed and Way of the Mandalore, as they are core tenants of his personality and how he conducts himself - especially in the presence of other Mandalorians and how he judges their own actions.
Respect
Zxyl Bes'uliik seeks to earn the respect of others, and offers the same level of respect in return. If someone slights him, he will not immediately react to it, but continued slights will damage their standing with the Mandalorian General and risk pushing their relationship with him to the brink of no-return. Those that lose his respect must work hard to get it back, and Bes'uliik treats them in accordance with the level of respect they have earned. Simply having a title or being someone important matters almost nought to him, his respect is based solely on their actions.
Combat
This Mandalorian General is fluent in several forms of combat, with feats and allocated skill points that bring most of the weapon skills on his character sheet to the Master (+5) level such as Blasters, Lightsaber, Blunt Weapons, and Miscellaneous Weapons.
Zxyl uses his Proficient (+3) Dual Wielding skill to frequently field two different weapons in his arsenal at the same time, whether it be his vambraces or handheld weapons. While not always the case, he uses his arsenal to the greatest effect it can have in a given combat situation. He primarily operates with blaster weaponry (such as his custom WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistol or one of his vambrace weapons) when in long ranged situations, and for close quarters combat relies primarily on one of his light-weapons - though he is known to field a beskar gravity hammer and lightsaber resistant bladed weapons when light-weapons aren't overly necessary. He deploys his dual-phase hidden lightsaber vambrace at the most opportune times and typically strikes with it when his opponent least expects it, and regularly uses the various phases of his triple-phase lightsaber and ancient Dathomirian light-sword to overwhelm and keep opponents on
He keeps a solid hold of his emotions during combat, very rarely losing his cool, and isn't afraid to use Shadow Magick to amplify his natural abilities.
