[*]7 inch vibroblade[/list] [b]Skills:[/b] [list][b]Force training:[/b] Like all force user current or otherwise Akazin has had severely rigorous training, a deadly kind of training that has hardened him. He was trained in the art of the double bladed lightsaber which he can combine with force techniques to make his blows more deadly and devastating. He is combat efficient with all manner of blades and prefers them to blasters anyday. [b]Endurance:[/b] Akazin has a great resilience to pain, he is a man who can not be broken through what some would consider normal means. He is capable of withstanding punishment and does not tire as quickly like others would. [b]Intelligence:[/b] Akazin is highly intelligent and was always favored above most as a strategist and a careful planner. Unlike most he is capable of pushing aside emotion and use his brain to get through tough situations. He is a born thinker and is always planning his next move in heavy situations. This widely may contribute to why he survive as long as he has when many others have died young.[/list] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [list][b]Damaged body:[/b] Age might be kind to some, but for a battle field veteran, with age comes pain in places you never knew existed. Akazin's body has suffered severe damage, lasting damage that hinders him a lot more now then it did in the past. It is because of this that he is not as fast as he used to be or as strong anymore. His reflexes are also hindered due to this same reason. He often suffers from pain throughout the day even if he does not show it.[/list] [b]Blasters:[/b] Akazin has no real skill with blasters, as he does not use them therefore he has no real experience with them. This can put him at a severe disadvantage if ever he was disarmed from his blades and left without a weapon. [b]Hunted:[/b] Akazin is a well known figure from his days in the Galactic Empire, and this alone always puts him mortal danger when he is alone. There are many out there who would pick him off just because he is near enough to kill. His trademark yellow eye's almost always give him away even on covert operations. [b]Large:[/b] Akazin is quite a large man decking out at 6'6" and weighing close to 250 pounds and lets face it, this alone can make him a walking target in combat situations. Even with speed Akazin still has to always guard his body from possible attacks a smaller person might be able to avoid a lot easier. [b]History:[/b] Akazin was born into slavery, that is his earliest recollections of life and at times some of the only true memories he has as a child growing up. His mother belonged to a hutt and so therefore Akazin also belonged to that same Hutt, often times being subjugated to a Drunk Dug with a Gambling Problem. Most of his younger years were spent doing mundane tasks of disgusting natures and dreaming of escaping from the a hell that had no real way out. As he grew so did his anger towards the world he lived in, he hated his life, he hated being a slave and even more he hated his own mother for putting him into the situation. This anger caused him to rebel and because of it his face and forehead were scarred permanently as a punishment and as an example of what would happen to those who appose their masters. This act only heightened his resolve and eventually his acts of aggression cost him the life of the only person who gave a damn about his existence... his mother. They killed her in his place to break him but in the end it only drove him to madness where he attempted to take his masters life, the attempt failed and Akazin was to die. Thrown into the rancor put as entertainment for his masters pleasure he fought for his life but to no avail, it was simply a battle that could not be won. At the very end Akazin managed to escape from the rancor pit through an old escape route and ran for his life. Jumping onto a smugglers ship at the port he sailed away from the hutt that owned him and into the first freedom he had ever had since birth. Soon after he found himself lost in life, on a distant planet with not a credit to his name and life became even more complicated as he fought to the death just so he could eat to survive. It was during the clone wars that Akazin really made a name for himself, the moment you could say where his life truly changed, the moment he was approached by a man who was part of force sensitive group known as Inquisitorius. The man could feel his hatred and offered to help him harness it into a weapon that would destroy any who dared to appose him, all he had to do was serve the Galactic Empire. Wanting the power, wanting revenge on his master, wanting death itself to be at his fingertips, Akazin went with the man willingly and began the hardest and deadliest training of his life. It was this training that truly sent the son of slave free from him bindings and chains, and gave him purpose in a galaxy that had none. By the end of the clone wars Akazin had been transformed into a deadly weapon in the name of the Empire and he was granted his one wish of revenge. He did return to the planet that held all his most hated memories and he took revenge on the hutt that had kept him nothing more then a slave, he slain the hutt and everyone in his path and got his final revenge. It was after this incident that his face and his name became well known within the universe, the other hutts put a bounty on his head sizable enough to have you set for life. It is within this time frame that Akazin returned to the Galactic Empire, around this time it is believed that Akazin first came into contact with Prudii Verda, the fabled hit squad of the empire. It is unknown how he came to be within their ranks and even what happened to the man who trained Akazin, a lot of his history within the galaxy is widely unknown. It is known however that Akazin became one of the deadliest weapons in the Empire and is Prudii Verda. When order 58 was put into affect it was thought that Akazin died in the ambush, however he was seen various times after that and was working in sync with Prudii Verda to obtain revenge for the betrayal. After the fall of the empire Akazin took his place in the command structure of Prudii Verda and works as second in command to O'r te werda, he is the only man to ever lay eye's on the mysterious leader as is his right hand man in all operations and subjects when it comes to the well being of the faction itself.

Perhaps one of the galaxy's best kept secrets, no man or beast alive has ever lay eye on O'r te werda. It is not entirely certain even if O'r te werda is a man or woman. Even their race has never been fully determined. Incredibly smart and resourceful O'r te werda has brought the Prudii Verda to a dominance the likes of which has not been seen in many centuries of turmoil and bloodshed.

After the completion of order 58 this flagship was taken down due to internal espionage and crash landed on an unknown planet in Hutt Space. Left to rot by the Empire, having believed it to be destroyed in the atmosphere of the planet it fell into, this downed flagship become what is now known as the stronghold the Prudii Verda is based out of. While the ship itself will most likely never fly again its wreckage has been reinforced and many altercations made to it along with heavy exterior shielding to make it a strong and lethal foothold for the Prudii Verda and its members. The Prudii Verda in terms of worth is quite unknown, being a quite successful mercenary group it is said they have amassed a rather impressive amount of credits, upwards of millions to fund their operations. These credits are often used to supply and uphold their small fleet which is comprised of fast and agile ships that can transport their members across the galaxy effectively and quickly if need be. It is a well know fact however that most members of this faction have their own personal ships that they acquired through their own means. Rough estimates: Credits: Upwards of a at least over five million Ships owned - Ten ships are currently known about within the Prudii Verda fleet aside from personal owned ships. These ships are fast types with fairly good shielding and firepower if the need arises. One well know vessel is a battle class medium frigate which is used to help defend the Prudii Verda base of operations and is always on standby. Manpower - It is not exactly know how much manpower and or members they may truly have but it is said they have at least fifteen well trained mercenaries and a contingent of over fifty members who range from engineers to designers and various other professions that help to support the Prudii Verda. Weaponry - Being well funded the Prudii Verda has access to various types of weapons ranging from blasters all the way up to heavy weaponry. They are not on the literal forefront of weapons or do they have any kind of stake in special weapons only they have, but they are quite capable and ready if one were stupid enough to try and attack them head on. [/hider] [b]Faction History:[/b] Prudii Verda which means Shadow Warriors in Mandalorian is a paramilitary Mercenary faction consisting mostly of highly trained individuals from around the galaxy. Often thought of as a Mandalorian faction it is in fact not Mandalorian based nor is it predominantly part of any clan. Run by a mysterious figure head simply named O'r te werda or Warrior in Shadows, this faction has become one of the best paramilitary organizations in the greater galaxy. Prudii Verda unlike most organizations was not born out of a need for credits as much as a need for stability in a lawless era. Originally an operations group formed by Imperial Intelligence to do its dirty work in uncontrolled sectors of the galaxy, they were formed of the most elite operatives of the Imperial Service, a large majority of these operatives being mandalorian warriors. They were known for their ability to strike fast and hard and then disappear into the shadows, thus the name Shadow Warriors. After the war began between the Rebels and the Imperials Prudii Verda was one of the foremost operations units when it came to high risk assignments. It was unfortunate however that in time this operations group became way to way too powerful, and way too successful, especially for those in the Empire who could ill afford for such a group to exist in such a chaotic time. Thus Order 58 was put into affect, which was in its entirety, the total annihilation of the top officials in the Prudii Verda and the disbandment of the operations group. Lured into an ambush on a distant planet, Prudii Verda suffered massive casualty's, among them was included the original leader Cipher 6 and much of the top brass the ran the operations group. After the ambush Prudii Verda was considered broken and the remaining members disappeared in the wind and as far as the Empire was concerned they were no longer a threat and the entire incident was buried. Though to the Empires dismay this was not the last they would hear of this operations group, in fact several months after the incident which was supposedly suppose to end them, there was an incident with Imperial Space. An entire station used by Imperial Intelligence was massacred and everyone aboard slaughtered. No one stepped forward to claim the victory and no one knew the truth behind the matter. Over the next passing weeks many imperials lost their lives in what appeared to be hit and run like attacks, all of them Imperial Intelligence Officials. It became evident in time that these attacks were trademark to the Prudii Verda, warriors of shadow who would destroy whatever stand in their way and leave no trace behind. In the time followed, eventually a new mysterious figure stepped forward, O'r te werda was their name and they declared their involvement in the attacks on Imperial Intelligence and their intent to destroy that which tried to destroy them. In the wake of this the Empire attempted many times to destroy this mysterious leader, however with the war between the Rebels and the hit and run tactics that could appear anywhere and everywhere, the shadow organization kept ten steps ahead. Eventually when Lord Vader and the Emperor fell and the second Death Star was Destroyed Prudii Verda attacked in full force in the chaos and destroyed the epicenter of the Imperial Intelligence Division and all but destroyed them from the inside out. With revenge gained Prudii Verda sank back into the shadows once more and has continued to grow, having sustained much bounty from the Empire in their conquest they gained enough in credits and technology to become and independent Paramilitary faction. Based out of the lawless spaces of the Hutts, Prudii Verda is now one of the top mercenary for hire groups out there. Usually only taking the highest paying jobs they have rose to prominence as a feared group of assassins that you never know when they will be behind you.[/color][/centre] [/hider]
