Wrath is the only Judwan ever recorded as being capable of violence. Subjected to an arduous ‘training’ program and fashioned into a killer at a young age, he is now one of the most wanted beings in the galaxy, always seeking the truth behind what was done to him and revenge.

Biography

Wrath was one of those young Judwan forcibly removed from his pod on Pelgar and he was subsequently subjected to an extreme version of psycho-conditioning, somewhat similar to that delivered to Enforcer candidates.

It was believed Wrath was a successful product of this program and he was presented to the Council as a fully operational and controlled soldier. Wrath, after destroying the targets presented to him in his first public ‘demonstration’, slew every other living thing in sight, including no less than a member of the Council of Seven and his Enforcer bodyguard in 986AE. Wrath went on to escape from the Black Site in which he had been contained and has been on the loose ever since.

He is now one the most wanted beings in the galaxy. Using the golden jian sword he took from the Council-member’s corpse and clad in the armour he wore on the day he was unleashed, Wrath has become a soldier of fortune, an assassin, and a rogue. He can appear unstable, utterly reckless or even violently unpredictable. But there is a method in his madness. Wrath seeks always the truth of what was done to him when he was young and to have his revenge on those that tortured him. He now serves as part of the well known Eiras Contract Mercenaries.

The Story of the Assassin

Throughout their long and noble history, there has never been a Judwan warrior or a Judwan murderer, and certainly nothing like the psychotic assassin known as Wrath. At least, not until now. The following information has been pieced together from a variety of sources, and the truth of the matter will probably never be known for certain. The few that did know the truth of this code 8 secret operation are mostly dead. The handful that remain are running for their lives or hiding where they think he cannot find them.

It seems that he was taken from his parents at an early age and raised as an assassin for the Council of Seven. Producing such unwavering killers was probably only one order issued among many others and was long forgotten by the time he was old enough to be sent on his first mission. Still, he was their work. His first mission was almost his last as the Enforcers he accompanied nearly shot him on the spot for disobeying direct orders under fire. Despite his excellence in training and simulation, when it came to reality he would not kill. He was, after all, Judwan.

The programme leader was given a month to persuade his subject to see reason. Failure would not be a healthy option for either of them. From that point the means of persuasion became increasingly blunt and desperate. Hypnotism, indoctrination, and behavioural therapy were quickly replaced by surgery, implants and mind-probes. These failed too, so more were tried, as was simple torture to break his will – to force him to obey. After a month the programme leader claimed a great success. He had broken the Judwan. Turning around such a high cost investment was such good news that even one of the Council saw fit to inspect this most lethal of new weapons in their arsenal.

Reports of this official demonstration are sketchy, but the results are clear. Today the assassin known as Wrath is the most wanted sentient in the galaxy. He is at the top of every Enforcers shoot to kill list and has been the target of no less than nine fleet sized actions. Small cities have been nuked in an effort to kill him, but he has slipped away quietly every time.

The main reason for this unusually costly pursuit is simple revenge. Wrath carries one of the Council of Seven’s ceremonial blades, and this he took from the dead hand of the Councillor himself. He cannot be allowed to live. His every breath is an encouragement to the Rebs and an embarrassment for the Council and the Corporation. The problem is that we was trained too well.
