- "My name is Wes Biriuk. You may have heard of me."
- ―Wes Biriuk, speaking to the Erinos family members at the funeral of Xar'Kahn
History
Wes Biriuk was born Wesson Lyall Rikkr in 15 ABY as the first child of Dhet Rikkr, his father, and Aliasa Rikkr, his mother.
<schooling>
In 31 ABY and incident occurred which set the rest of his life on the path toward destruction. Early one morning Wes, a 6'3" tall boy yet to fill his body out with muscle, decided to try to fix his father's land speeder in order to take it for a joyride later that afternoon with some friends from the Academy. <more to come>
Shortly after the death of Xar'Kahn, Wes was formally inducted into Clan Arcona as a full-fledged member. It was also at this time he was made a brother of the Erinos family.
Once Soulfire had been decommissioned, Wes found himself with no direction and no purpose inside Arcona. Never in his life had he not known what to do with himself. He spent a lot of time alone, simply passing time. His new family didn't know how to deal with the newcomer enough to break his cycle. In this time he withdrew into himself, some would say he came back somewhat different to the man they knew in Soulfire.
Wes came back into the fold of Arcona after being approached by Etah d'Tana, then Battleteam Leader of Spectre Cell, to join his team. It was at this time that the events of the Dark Crusade, Grand Master Muz Ashen's foray into the Old Sith Space, were just starting and Wes thought it wise to be part of an active team for personal gain.
During the first phase of Dark Crusade Wes and a few other Erinos family members had some growing pains so the newest family member decided it would be best if he left the family. Wes didn't however burn the bridges of friendship he had forged with some of the family. He still holds some close friends inside the Erinos family.
Character
Physical Description
Wes' tall and broad-shouldered physique is the perfect frame from which to build up a large, if slightly under-toned, body of muscle. His mid-length black, wavy locks and rugged but well-kept beard draw your focus to his piercing blue eyes that create a striking contrast with his bronze skin. His skin seemingly glows slightly to enhance his figure.
Wes wears his full battle armour (see Armour below) in all combative circumstances. When appearing in formal Arconan or Bortherhood events the Corellian will wear his standard issue Knight robes. Otherwise when doing personal training or where combat armour is excessive he prefers clothing that will give him the full range of movement he requires should he need it. Black loose-fitting pants held up by a belt and heavy soldiers boots are the extent of his attire. Bare-chested and brutal. Wes is predominately right-handed, however shoots all weaponry left-handed.
Personality
Wes has always been quietly angry, but has put on a happy face for as long as he has known how to control himself. He finds being happy is a chore but definitely makes life easier. Wes liked to be the "funny guy" and his humour came in the form of cracking one-liners. In battle, Wes does away with conversation for the most part, preferring to focus on the task at hand. His facade could come off as overly nice and often lands him with people not liking him because they feel that it is forced. Wes has a very short span for idiocy, so short that even his exceedingly nice facade cannot contain it. Part of the reason he took up Xar's offer of Dark Jedi training was to be able to let the curtain fall. He wishes to be able to be himself, although he doesn't really know or understand what that means. He will never intentionally hurt or betray those he feels are on his side.
During his time under Xar'Kahn and further when he was in Soulfire, Wes became infatuated with the Mandolorian culture and language. Wes can hold a basic conversation in Mando'a with his Erinos brethren and often finds himself thinking in his second-tongue.
Since Soulfire was disbanded one could say that Wes has not been the same person. He has withdrawn into himself is less "himself". He is more aggressive and less tolerant. He still tries to wear his mask of happiness but it is fracturing.

Lightsaber
Upon attaining the rank of Jedi Hunter, Wes was presented with a choice of blueprints in order to create his own lightsaber. Creating it would be one part of his required service in order to attain the rank of a full-fledged Dark Jedi Knight. Wes chose the "Shadow" and his last act as a Jedi Hunter was to ignite its royal blue blade. During the prototype building stage Wes was unhappy with the light feel of the saber, fearing he could crush it in his grip in the fury of battle. He therefore built the saber to a unique, heavier feel that better suited his favoured, physical Shii-Cho saber form. Not only does the extra weight give Wes more power in each swing, but the hilt also serves as a heavy bludgeoning object that can be thrown to cause a great amount of damage. Wes has his lightsaber clipped to his armour at the right hip and while fighting will always hold his saber in his right hand.
Armour
Wes has kept his Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit (DV-CES) from his time in Soulfire and wears it religiously on combat missions.

Wes serves Arcona as a heavy weapons specialist and demolitions expert. He is also a capable sniper.
