Born on Iridonia but raised among the Mandalorians, Zarik Vex earned his reputation in the crucible of the Great Hunt—taking down some of the most infamous targets in the galaxy. Betrayal by a former clanmate left him badly injured and more cautious than ever. Now, Vex works freelance for the Hutts, Imperial officers, and anyone with the credits to pay for results—no questions asked. His cybernetic eye never sleeps, and his code is simple: a contract is sacred, and survival is earned.
