Szsag

Szsag, (or “Locus”) is a Bounty Hunter, more specifically an Assassin or Mercenary, with ties to several Armed Forces and Dynasties.

Early Life
Szsag was born to a poor Viocouze family on the species’ island of Paero; growing up under the rule of a vicious dictator of the Viocouze people. Having to find what gives him the most pleasure as a Viocouze Tradition; Szsag found pleasure from combat or fighting—which was considered a trait of soldiers in Viocouze Culture. During the course of a violent civil war of a younger dictator seeking to take control, Szsag was ultimately forced into the Viocouze’s Armed Forces; having to survive in the pitiful trenches over the course of the war, until he ultimately abandoned the Army in fear of his own life.

Stowing away on a Merchant Ship; Szsag traveled across the seas alone—not noticed as he fed on the stale leftovers of the crew aboard the cruise ship. Eventually found, Szsag was abandoned on a lone island; where he was soon met with travelers—who took him to their fortress in the mountains of this island.

Recovering, Szsag was soon met with the founder of the facility known as Kumeri; who was willing to teach the Viocouze everything he ever wanted to know as long as he swore allegiance to his League: the League of Kumeri. Training alongside the warriors of the League, Szsag soon met Vantelic; a traveler who took a similar oath. The two soon became fair acquaintances, as they both trained together.

During an unknown period, Vantelic betrayed the League of Kumeri—leaving Szsag half blind in the process.

After the League of Kumeri collapsed, Szsag was soon found by the Order of Mata Nui; secret organizations who were to accomplish whatever the Great Spirit: Mata Nui was for them to do. Being called to serve as a subject for an operation procedure, promising if it was successful that he could regenerate his lost eye—Szsag accepted the invitation.

Undergoing the Augmentation procedure, Szsag’s strength, speed, and durability were nearly timed by ten; said to have the strength of ten Toa. Upgrading his Nervous System, Szsag has been rumored to have the brain-power of nine Mersion’s; having a large amount of knowledge in Tactical Procedure. He also donned a small Healing Factor, which was not enough to regenerate his lost eye.

However all these abilities came at a cost, Szsag’s skin began to burn—irritable almost everywhere as his mentality was also tried. Dismayed, Szsag abandoned the Order of Mata Nui; taking up work as a hired assassin.

Coldest Day Events
Working for many years as an assassin, Szsag soon began to don the title: “Locus”, which meant Genetic Perfection in Matoran Tongue. Over a short period of time, the Viocouze earned an infamous record—shortly after becoming known as the ‘Deadliest Assassin in the Universe’. Eventually found in Metru Nui, Szsag was hired by Vihanny, and infamous Criminal Lord; to track and kill a familiar Mersion on the second night to the Coldest Day.

Instantly recognizing the Mersion as Vantelic, Szsag stalked Vantelic across many planes; watching him as he went up against the three other assassins hired to kill him. On the fourth and final night, Szsag had a perfect opportunity to kill Vantelic; however allowed him to be free for twenty-one hours for an ‘equal fight’.

Tracking Vantelic to the Coliseum, Szsag fought Vantelic in a series of fights; several times besting him as the Mersion soon discovered the assassin: “Locus” to be Szsag. After another engagement, Szsag knocked Vantelic to the ground; preparing to take the Mersion’s life—but not before his time given to kill the Mersion ran out, as the Viocouze allowed Vantelic to run free.

Weeks after the events of the Coldest Day, Szsag was confronted by Yurit; who offered a hefty price for the Viocouze to help him take down Vihanny’s operations—to which “Locus” accepted.
