“I've not been many things in my life. I've never seen the many places of the galaxy. And I've yet to know a life beyond my own. But none of that matters... because no one does what I do better than I. Because no one's lived my life, but me.
I'm strong, because I've been weak. I'm fearless, because I've been afraid. And I'm wise, because I've been foolish. And once upon a time, I've been the hunted... and that's why, now, I'm the Manhunter.”
Name: Alduin Xerxes
Alias: The Manhunter
Age: 30
Race: Epicanthix
Birth place: Tatooine; Espelar
Height: 6'4
Weight: 188 lbs
Eye Color: Sea green
Hair Color: Black
Appearance:
Alduin Xerxes is a tall Epicanthix male, even by his species' standards, with tanned-Olive skin, sea green eyes, and straight black hair. Alduin sports a fully grown beard, trimmed and neatly presented, as is the custom among the males of the Jundland Nomads. Perhaps the most notable physical characteristic of Alduin is not a natural physical characteristic at all, but are his optical enhancers. Once described as appearing like "metal branded into his skin", Alduin has retinal augmentations implanted around the outer areas of his eyes, providing him with several technological aids. Appearing as a holographic band over his eyes when activated, Alduin's augmentation endows him with an identity bio-scanner, oscillating electromagnetic perceptions and zooming capabilities, vital tools in his bounty hunting trade.
Another distinguishing mark on Alduin is a hexagonal scar "tattoo" carved into his forehead by a rival of his that he not only failed to catch, but was caught himself and "branded" as a way of reminding Alduin that his life from that point on was a gift from his target. When in his traditional attire, Alduin wears a long black trench coat, trousers and boots, often to the bewilderment of those around him, given Tatooine's heat and aridity. He is addicted to cigarras, especially when made from ground moon tree leaves, and is almost always seen with one hanging out of his mouth when not bounty hunting. In contrast, when out in the field, Alduin wears a fully sealed environmental suit with a hide cloak over it, which keeps him cool in the desert heat - a pivotal advantage considering his profession can take him to some of Tatooine's most lifeless areas.
Personality: Alduin very aptly fits the traditional persona of a "lone wolf". Whether out of discipline or simple as part of his nature, he often comes off as stoic, indifferent or laid back. While not devoid of feeling, or anything of the sort, Alduin seldom expresses strong emotions, such as rage, joy, grief or hilarity. Even with interactions in his family, such as his sister, brother-in-law or nephews, Alduin rarely displays full and open expressions of what he feels. This is not to say that Alduin is unfeeling, as he has a very strong sense of duty to his family, helping to provide both by his being there and by making sure they are financially stabilized. He is fiercely protective as well, having once nearly wiped out a marauding band in response to their threatening his family for extortion.
Alduin's outer personality should also not be misconceived as being impregnable. Like a secure lock, not just anyone - or any action - can "unlock" his emotional expressions - in fact, most cannot. However, to those who know how to "pick" the lock, the matter can suddenly become much easier and simple. In the same way, while most cannot and do not incite strong emotionally charged expressions from Alduin, the few who know him well enough can do so. The most notable in Alduin's life is the criminal that carved the hexagonal emblem, branding him for all to see, which is a strong point of anger for Alduin, should the matter be pressed enough.
None of these personality inhibitions, however, cloak Alduin's willingness to show respect, or disrespect, for those he perceives as earning it. For instance, in spite of such individuals usually being his employers, Alduin has no trust and very limited respect for authoritative figures, both on sight and on principle. At least partially, this is due to the way of governance that's common on Tatooine, with officials almost universally being corrupt, mobsters, weak-willed, or otherwise in the pockets of the Hutts. In contrast, he also gives principal respect toward those who put themselves on the line for others, regardless of who they are, within reason. This too falls in with Alduin's deep-rooted sense of family among his kin.
