Mahray the Mercenary

Mahray is a mercenary, born and bred. Mahray comes from what many would consider a backward culture, and has little trust for the higher forms of technology, and also distrusts magic and psychic abilities, although to a lesser extent. He is happiest in close combat, and while Mahray can shoot a gun, he prefers the more personal nature of blunt weapons.

While not being completely happy in spaceships, mercenaries need to travel to make money, so Mahray is resigned to spending his life in transit, and often has trouble forming friendships. Due to the nature of the mercenary trade, collegues may have to fight each other in the next war or skirmish, and in a sense this is the reason for Mahray's choice of lifestyle, since he was never particularly sociable as a boy.

Mahray has travelled extensively in his time as a mercenary, and has visited many places, and fought in many different conflicts. He is taller than many, and in the words of his old tribe "built like a brick dunny", which translates into a rather stocky person. To many strangers Mahray appears soft, an appearance which he uses to great effect. In truth, while he has lost a bit of his edge over the last few years, Mahray is still a proficient warrior. For reasons of his own, he is currently providing companionship and protection for Vidia.
