Hailing from the arid and resource-scarce planet Dharax, Zayen Malak is a former desert ranger turned reluctant hero. Dharax, known for its blistering suns and sprawling sand seas, was a battleground for warring tribes competing for control of its rare energy crystals. Zayen grew up in the tribal conflict, where his people were decimated by off-world corporations exploiting the planet’s resources. As a child, he witnessed his village razed and his family enslaved, leaving him with a deep sense of justice and vengeance.
Fitted with experimental armor salvaged from Dharax’s ancient ruins, Zayen became a protector of the oppressed, wielding a fusion lance capable of harnessing solar energy. Embedded in his chest armor is the Verdant Core, a green power stone capable of storing and channeling Dharax’s twin suns’ energy. The stone not only fuels his weapon, the Solaris Lance, but also enhances his physical strength, endurance, and reflexes when activated. Despite his noble intentions, Zayen’s past haunts him—he often questions whether his pursuit of justice is fueled by compassion or revenge. While his bravery has earned him the admiration of many, his reluctance to trust others isolates him from forming lasting bonds.
