This has given him a rather bleak philosophical outlook. He is beyond redemption and there is little doubt that he seems a broken man, ever keen to preach pessimism. He has a droll humour and seems world-weary but in-spite of his now more pensive demeanour he has lost none of his cunning. Kai was and always has been, too smart for his own good and a ruthless pragmatism always juts out beneath the surface. The loss of his biotic abilities as a child scarred him and left Kai ever trying to fill the hole they left. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u] [b]DETAILED HISTORY[/b] [/u][/indent][indent][indent] Sandman. It was once one of the most feared names in the Omega cluster - to those that believed the urban legend. Nowadays Kai spends 23 hours a day in a 3x3m cell wondering what kind of hell awaits him in the next life. Dr Kai Chien was once one of the most promising scientists in the newly discovered field of element zero. A passion that was fuelled by the loss of his own biotic abilities as a teen. Still a largely unknown science and hell-bent on restoring his own biotic potential, it was an obsession that blinded him to morality. After running out of funding and craving more freedom in his experiments, Kai eventually turned to the martian Triads, criminals of the old world who branched interstellar. He told himself the ends would justify the means and they liked the idea of an army of biotic enforcers. What Kai developed was much worse. Red-sand it came to known. Harvested from element zero, it gave euphoria, brief but powerful biotic powers, an addiction that lasted a lifetime and was in the hands of precisely the wrong people. The Triads immediately saw the potential of the new drug and demanded full scale production, Kai found he could no longer back out. It was about this time that humanity joined the larger galactic community and Kai found his escape. Rumours had reached the terminus system of the supposed new biotic martian drug. Fearing for his life Kai traded his services for protection to a mercenary outfit that dwarfed the Triads where he was welcomed with open arms. In reality he had simply upscaled. Red Sand soon seeped it's way across the galaxy. Authorities had a bounty for any information on the illusive 'Sandman' and feeling his own position growing precarious Kai switched allegiances to a competitor organisation. By now he was hooked on his own poison, he played off buyers against each other and found that against all reason he was enjoying himself. It was no longer about survival, Sandman set his goals on becoming the next king of Omega. The bigger the high though, the bigger the come down. He became too overconfident, humans were new to this galaxy and his naivety showed. When his sponsoring organisation fell foul of the Batarian Hegemony, the vessel he was on boarded and mass slaughter and enslaving ensued. The wreckage of his ship was picked up later by the Alliance who found him on board as the sole surviver, Kai gave himself up passively. The raiders had laughed when they found out who he was, they joked that red sand had brought so many slaves to their people they owed him a debt of gratitude and left him alive, Kai wished they hadn't. No one was more shocked than Kai to find himself abruptly taken off death-row. A wildcard with nothing to lose, few people had his connections and knowledge of the criminal underworld. He was given a choice King-Slayer or the chair, though he imagined they would both end the same way. Whatever they were up against must be even worse than him. [/indent][/indent]
