Erzhril Taaks
Ah, yes. Sorry, I got lost in my work. I'm not good with people. Machines are my life. They speak to me in ways no one else can.
Erzhril's parents were slaves in the Zorian Empire. They were mechanics on the Icarus-22, a Class III command ship. Restricted to live solely in the engine rooms as mechanics, his parents fell in love and gave birth to Erzhril in a tool closet. Evan at the risk of death, all the workers helped keep the birth a secret and protected the child. He grew up being raised by all of the slaves on board and developed a natural talent for working with anything electrical or mechanical.
The Icarus-22 was deployed in the last battle. When word got out that the emperor was onboard, the slaves worked together to sabotage the engines. This crippling move directly led to the empire losing the battle and to the deaths of all onboard as the ship exploded. The last thing they managed to do was smuggle Erzhril onto one of the only escape pods that made it safely to land.
