“Faith, justice, freedom: these things we usually see as abstract concepts, without grounding in reality. Some dismiss them altogether. But me? I have seen them in flesh. I have lived them. I have become them.”
- - Lupercal
Luphercæl Qavassar, usually referred to as Lupercal and known by his codename The Talon, is a former Dei'Ar Theocracy captain, veteran of the Second War of Black Fog and now unofficial leader of Radeon diaspora of the Unified Nation of Ottzello, whom he serves as one of its Commandos. A deadly warrior as well as stalwart leader, although young, Lupercal has led his people throughout trials without end, leading them to victory every time, and his prowess in war is known in the Ottzello Sector and beyond. However, when not commanding and not on the field of battle, Lupercal is often quiet and even seclusive, avoiding personal contact for reasons known only to himself.
History
Youth
Dei'Ar period
UNO period
Lupercal's early service to the UNO wasn't that notable. His first action as UNO captain was in Third Ottzello Galactic War, where he battled the Hostile Xenoform Threat hordes. Later, after the Annihilation, he and his Temporalus Radeons have led a series of attacks against the Devourer's Chosen in the Second Borealis Galactic War. During the Rise of the Vague, he engaged in a swift duel with the champion of the Chosen, Kernax the Striker. The brooding Empahreen was more than a match for him though, and a battle resulted in Lupercal being cut in half. However, his dying body was preserved and recovered with the UNO's technologies and sent to Grenzaar, where Kralgon Emperor has started to experiment on his body in order to create yet another supersoldier for the UNO.
The Emperor had restored Lupercal's body with the spare parts of a Verdimihn warrior murdered by the Vague, as well as with various bionics. As a result, a former average Radeon commander gained two pairs of lithe, spidery legs, nano-alloy metallic skin and an array of deadly weapons. He was then assigned to the UNOC.
During the Coming of the Vague, he and the rest of UNOC attacked the planet where UNO's quarantine would be activated, only to be attacked by Da Speshul Warbosses. Lupercal fought Naktor'zak but lost the fight, exhausted, just like the others.
Characteristics
Personality
In battle, Lupercal stands in stark contrast with the sterotypical image of his species as patient and contemplative; he is a quick thinker and an even quicker doer. Never content with waiting, Lupercal does not think twice, makes quick decisions, and comes up with solutions on the move while planning several turns ahead. This tendency of his gave him a reputation of a heroic fool back in the times of Dei'Ar - even though his initiative had saved far more people than it had doomed - while as part of the UNOC his tactical mind is more appreciated and seen as a weapon.
Outside of combat, however, Lupercal is almost a completely different person; rather reserved and quiet, even troubled, he spends most of his day meditating or thinking, and does not communicate even with his fellow Commandoes (particularily Kalcedia Myran). This often gives outsiders an impression of coldness, even heartlessness, as if he cannot think of anything other than warfare, bloodshed and death. This impression is incorrect: Lupercal possesses a strong sense of right and wrong, learned the hard way from his troubled childhood, and has an almost fatherly side regarding his subordinates, seeing himself as their guide and chief. His seclusiveness is, if anything, actually a mental response to the bloodshed and butchery he has to face every day, or perhaps a result of an earlier trauma.
Lupercal's nickname in the UNOC is the Talon, due to his swift thinking as well as his style of fighting that involves swift strikes.
Appearance
Lupercal, following his rebirth, has gained a rather bizzare appearance. While he looks like a normal Radeon generally from the waist up, his lower body and legs belong to a Verdimihn instead, a result of Kralgon Emperor's experiments on him. Otherwise, he looks fairly normal. Lupercal has 75kg in mass.
Equipment
Like all UNOC, Lupercal uses thick nano-metallic second skin as his armour, providing excellent protection and mobility. In addition to this, he has a set of armour plates fused with this nanoskin, increasing his endurance even more. Similar to Thr'aloy, he also has some artificial muscles in his body to increase his strength, although Lupercal's ones are weaker as they are meant for a Radeon, not a Loron. In battle, he uses a variety of weapons including a short electric blade, a handheld grenade thrower as well as his favourite weapon since his early life, the dreaded Radeon battlestaff. A bladed vibroglaive empowered with a deadly gravity field, the battlestaff can easily crush most of the opposition Lupercal faces. In addition to this, a battlestuff also has a powerful homing electrolaser wired to it, making it a powerful ranged weapon as well.
On Lupercal's back is a small teleporting device of Radeon origins. This device works the same way as do Radeon drives, forming a temporary wormhole by warping quantum foam to teleport him and his soldiers on small distances. This makes his attacks even more unpredictable as he can arrive right within enemy territory with ease.
Abilities
Lupercal is a natural-born leader and skilled fighter, gifted with agility and eyesight as well as the will to command, and although young by Radeon standards, possesses a great deal of battlefield experience and knowledge of strategy. Back during his days as a Dei'Ar captain, Lupercal generally fought on short distances, and was known for his skill with a plasma carbine, while nowadays he usually engages his enemies in close quarters with his battle glaive.
Lupercal's combat prowess was later further enchanced by his new body, giving him immense speed and mobility, allowing him to run for more than 100 km/h, his teleporting abilities making him even faster. Furthermore, due to his Radeon blood as well as recent Verdimihn manipulations, Lupercal is a master of using essence, Gyronic in particular. By his will, bullets freeze in time while he speeds time for himself making Lupercal even faster. He is also capable of limited telekinesis.
In battle, Lupercal's chief weapons are surprise and fear, as well as his excellency in melee combat.
