'''Graziks''' is a [[Fallen]] mercenary, "employed" by the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]] and is usually sent on missions his clients would refuse to partake in. Once an infamous member of a [[Forum:House of Sky|House of Sky]] kill squad, he would be imprisoned by the Lions following the [[Forum:Gray Wars|Gray Wars]] before slowly gaining their trust and becoming a free, albeit exploited member of the Lions. | |||

Following the [[Whirlwind]], Graziks was born on the distant world of [[Forum:Striviis|Striviis]] along with his twin brother, [[Forum:Aleziks|Aleziks]], and twin sister, [[Forum:Kylodas|Kylodas]]. Born orphaned, his mother died in childbirth while his father died in a [[Skiff]] collision, he and his siblings were raised under his older brother, [[Forum:Haraksul|Haraksul]], who raised them all within the [[Fallen]] criminal underworld. While his twin brother made a living off gambling, deception and smuggling and his twin sister found a career in contract killing and assassinations, Graziks, instead, spent most of his time picking fights across the scattered dens of Striviis, whether it be sanctioned or not; because of his brother's frequent visits and bets around these fight, Graziks and Aleziks became close as siblings. Usually, he and his siblings would spend their time independently, however, Haraksul would often call them together for a well paying job or just a family meet and goods exchange. Over the years surviving with his Fallen vagabonds, he would pick up a quaint fascination with bio-augmentation and cybernetics, even fruitlessly attempting to pursue his dream of becoming a fully mechanized and unfeeling robot in his spare time. | |||
By the time he matured, Graziks had accumulated thousands upon thousands of ill-gotten [[Herealways]] and troves upon troves of contraband through his years of exceptional fighting, as well as a modicum of infamy within the underworld yet just matchable to the triumphs of his brother and sister. However, one fateful day, he and his siblings would attempt a heist that could set them all for life: the covert robbery a massive trove of Tech, Herealways, and [[Servitor]]s from a [[Forum:House of Sky|House of Sky]] [[Ketch]] outside of Striviis. Eagerly, the whole family joined in on the heist, hoping for their cut of the take and an endless supply of [[Ether]] to sustain them all for their entire lives. However, after the unexpected arrival of a Sky [[Baron]], and his guard fleet, the botched heist would result in his older brother's death and his own capture; his twin siblings would manage to escape with their lives, but he wouldn't see them for a long, long time. However, instead of being executed or docked, the Baron would instead enlist him after seeing the near success of the heist and hearing of his exploits, sending him into Sky's elite kill team, the Sky Claws. In his time there, he would perfect his craft in heavy ordinance and shared his insight into martial arts with his close-combat subordinates and colleagues, becoming an indispensable demolitions expert and ship raid coordinator. By the time the [[Forum:Gray Wars|Gray Wars]] began, he would have claimed hundreds of lives with his heavy weaponry, explosives and bare knuckles. | |||
