Kharaak Dhari

"Have your greater good, the greatest good warriors like me have, are the credits warriors like you pay us to fight."

- Kharaak to Commander Goro'Kha

Background
Kharaak Dhari is an infamous Kroot bounty hunter and mercenary soldier, contracted by Va'nu Ethereal Aun'Tari to assist Commander Bitterfall in his current mission to aid the effort to eliminate the death guard from the Nemyar Atoll. In exchange, Kharaak asked the commanders help to complete a personal mission he had undertaken beforehand, to hunt down and kill a Kroot by the name of Hkaruh, formerly of the kroot mercenary band Kharaak led, the Painted Claws. Hkaruh was sentenced to death for the crime of eating Tyranid flesh, a grave crime among Kroot kind, as well as the murder of many of his brothers in the painted claws

Kharaak formerly led a group of Kroot mercenaries known as the Painted Claws, before dissolving the group after many were killed by the betrayal of Hkaruh, who was offered amnesty for his crime of consuming Tyranids, by a rival gang with political connections if he was to destroy the Painted Claws, Kharaak chose to end the band rather than risk the lives of his soldiers to further attacks. Left with no brothers to fight alongside, Kharaak became a bounty hunter, fighting alone to hunt enemies of powerful people, unscrupulous in his clients, be they Tau Ethereal, Kroot Shaper, Rogue Trader, or once, Necron Lord, each kill drove his hatred of Hkaruh further, untill an obsession.

Kharaak would spend years tracking tracking Hkaruh, slowly uncovering his network of informants and allies, through hunting down these men, and torturing information about his rival from them, leaving their bodies undevoured, wih only a single red handprint upon their bodies, marking the bodies with the image of the Painted Claws, as a message to Hkaruh

The Hunt in Car'Cyr
Kharaak tracked Hkaruh to the lawless space station of Car'Cyr, a former prison ship, now adrift in deep space as a den of criminals and outcasts. Once there he began a one man war of assassination against any and all who were affiliated with Hkaruh. For months his associates would fall, and Kharaak would become overconfident, believing there were too few men to stop him. Such hubris would be his downfall, as he was lured into a trap by Hkaruh, who would entrap him in a holding cell, and attempt to execute him, before leaving him for dead.

how Kharaak survived is unknown. due to him allowing Hkaruh to believe he had died, before resurfacing on Pech, the Kroot homeworld, here he would be approached by ethereal Aun'Tari, with an employment proposition putting the full might of the Fire Caste behind him if he so needed it...
