Garth

Appearance
Garth is a tall, muscular Xeonian, a species characterized by their four eyes, with the upper pair capable of perceiving electromagnetic spectrums, sound waves, and heat, even through thin barriers. His physique is notably robust, with thick tubular muscles and skin as hard as steel, hinting at the warrior heritage of his people. Despite his age, his demeanor often conveys a seriousness beyond his years.
Personality
Garth's personality is shaped by pragmatism, fierce loyalty to his people, and a deep-seated sense of justice. He is ambitious and determined, willing to navigate the treacherous political landscape of Akra and even resort to morally ambiguous tactics if he believes it serves the greater good of the Xeonians. While he presents himself as a politician and businessman, he is not above using force or manipulation to achieve his objectives, viewing such actions as necessary for survival in a corrupt city. He can be distrustful of outsiders, but once his trust is earned, he demonstrates a profound sense of gratitude and commitment. He harbors a deep-seated anger and grief over the suffering of his species, which can manifest as a fierce, almost violent protectiveness when his people are threatened.
Story
Born and raised in the impoverished lower levels of Akra, Garth is a survivor from a species on the brink of extinction. His people, the Xeonians, once galactic conquerors 50,000 years ago, paid a heavy price for their pride, suffering near annihilation and marginalization. Garth's life has been dedicated to the survival and upliftment of his kind, who are often subjected to violence, kidnapping, and exploitation in Akra's underbelly. He rose to prominence by challenging the established criminal order, initially aiming to overthrow Galiano to secure a fair political voice for his people in the mayoral elections. His backstory is deeply intertwined with the struggles of his species, driving his every action.
