Biography

Appearance

Zail stands tall and proud, and is trim and slightly muscular under his uniform. When not in uniform he prefers neat, formal clothes in shades of black and blue, and always carries himself with a stern demeanor. Among his most defining features are his distinctive Alderaanian accent (quite rare, especially in the Empire) and also that, sometimes, an astute observer can see his right hand twitch and shake in times of stress (a sign of his mild Spice addiction).

Personality

As if making up for his wasted years without purpose, Zail is now a stern and driven man, obsessed with obtaining rank and respect. This makes him cold and unapproachable, and it is hard for him to make friends. However, he takes care to deal evenly (if not warmly) with his fellow Imperials, knowing the value of teamwork. His biggest flaw is his love of Twi’lek Ryll spice, which he indulges in privately in times of stress to take the edge off. He hides this from his fellow Imperials, knowing it could ruin him, and he hates his weakness for succumbing to it.

Family History

Agent Tarith Zail, one of Pherik Zail's ancestors.

Over three and a half thousand years ago, the Zail family were citizens of the Sith Empire. Despite lacking the Force powers essential for the highest levels of that regime, several of the Zail family found success as Agents and Officers of the Empire. Among them was Tarith Zail, a Sniper with Imperial Intelligence, from whom Pherik Zail is a direct descendant.

Tarith Zail was active during the Galactic Cold War, and then in the Second Great Galactic War that followed it. Though his fate is unknown, records recovered from the libraries of Obroa-skai indicate that, following the war, his family fell on hard times. For the next several centuries, the Zail family would show up on a variety of worlds in a variety of roles, serving in everything from noble military service to lowly pirating and even slaving.

Records from the era of the New Sith Wars are few and far between, with the Zail name showing up on both sides of the conflict. After the Ruusan Reformations the family seems to have settled in the Core, eventually coming to serve in the Republic Judiciary forces.

The modern Zail family come from the planet Anaxes, a world of great Naval tradition. Several generations of service on Republic warships made the Zail name an honoured one on that planet, and the family thrived. Pherik Zail's great-grandfather, Jadion 'Sunset' Zail, was a Commodore, who married an Alderaanian and settled on that world. Though his son Kenth would not seek a life among the stars, Pherik's father, Ardus Zail, re-embraced the family's naval tradition. He did so in emulation of Jadion, and also of his aunt, Commander Elise 'Darter' Zail.

Ardus 'Coldeye' Zail joined the Republic Judiciary forces just before the start of the Clone Wars, training at Raithal Academy. He served as a gunner on the Dreadnaught Indigo Blade, and continued to serve on it when it and its crew became part of the new unified Republic Navy. A year into the war, and the Indigo Blade was destroyed. Ardus was reassigned to the Venator-Class Star Destroyer Blazing Crown, part of the Open Circle Armada. Coldeye fought in many engagements, most famously the Battle of the Rainbow Bridge Nebula and the Battle of Coruscant. Afterwards he was a loyal officer in the Imperial Navy, becoming the Gunnery Chief of the Blazing Crown. Four years into the Emperor's reign he was sent for officer training on Prefsbelt IV, returning to the Blazing Crown as a bridge officer and Ensign. 8 years later he became a Lieutenant Commander and Executive Officer of the Blazing Crown, reaching full Commander by the time of the Battle of Yavin. After the death of his home planet, Ardus was approached by the Rebellion but, after being initially tempted, he re-affirmed his loyalty to the Empire. Four years later, after Endor, Ardus's friend and superior, Captain de Maquel, committed suicide, and Ardus became Captain of the Blazing Crown, taking the ship into the Vast Empire. (Serpent’s Father: The Story of Ardus Zail).

Personal History

Pherik Zail learned much from his father Ardus growing up, and deeply respected the Imperial officer. Together with a mother and younger brother they lived on Alderaan, something Pherik found extremely dull. Upon reaching adulthood he took the chance to go to University on Corulag, studying languages and xenoanthropology. Then came the news that the Death Star had destroyed his home.

Pherik was devastated, having lost his whole family, save his father who had been away serving the Imperial Fleet at the time. When the two finally got in contact, Pherik was horrified to hear his father defend the Empire's actions! "The Rebels made the Empire do it," Ardus Zail argued. "They are the real ones to blame!" Pherik, disgusted, severed all contact with his father and threw himself into his studies. Alas, university swiftly lost all meaning, especially with all his Imperial classmates viewing him as a Rebel sympathizer due to his Alderaanian heritage. Within a year he quit, and took to the Outer Rim as a drifter.

For years he roamed from place to place, getting work on transports and freighters. Zail gained valuable starship experience in these years, but also, as he tried to lose himself and forget about Alderaan, he indulged in distractions. He developed a love of Twi'lek women, and picked up a habit of taking Twi'lek Ryll Spice that was to haunt him forever. Time rolled by, and Pherik continued to lack purpose and direction. Meanwhile he wasted his money on Spice, and slowly got into debt to a dealer on Phaeda where he was living at the time. The dealer, well connected with the criminal underworld, grew more impatient, and soon Pherik began to fear for his life. And then it happened.

Of all people to save him, it was the Empire he so despised. The local Imperial garrison had a crack-down and executed a number of criminals, including those to whom Pherik owed money. He was safe, and he owed it to the Empire. Confused, feeling a decade of hate suddenly lift, he began to wonder. He looked at the state of the galaxy, at the chaos that had come from the Emperor's death and the ten-way civil war that had gripped the galaxy. The Rebels had done this, and the Empire had tried to stop them.

Tentatively, Pherik sought out his father, now a well-established officer in the Imperial splinter group called the Vast Empire. Father and son spoke at great length about the rights and wrongs of the Empire, about the good and bad it was capable of. Slowly, Pherik began to see what his father believed, that his lost home and family were not murdered by an uncaring Empire, but were sad casualties, martyrs even, in a tragic but necessary Imperial war against chaos and anarchy. Pherik Zail suddenly knew that, in order to make his family's death mean something, he had to join the Empire in stamping out this Rebel madness! He decided to finally follow his father into the ranks of the Vast Empire.

Service History

Trainee/Crewman

Zail enrolled in the Academy, based on the training platform Cappadocious. Despite the stress of his final test being a simulation based on the Graveyard of Alderaan, he performed admirably and was granted the Star of the Academy and a double promotion for his efforts.

Junior Bridge Officer/Senior Crewman

Zail's first assignment was the Imperial Star Destroyer Halcyon Warrior, under the command of Captain Dracule "Drac" Mihawk. He came aboard just after the Battle of Montitia (TaskForce Aurek: Veni Vidi Veci), and no sooner had he boarded than he got into a mess hall brawl assisting some pilots of Nightshrike Squadron (Nightshrike: Shakedown). Zail quickly put this behind him and worked hard to impress his superiors, taking long shifts on the bridge and doing supplies and inventories for First Officer Lance Ongol (Serpent: Logistics & Supply). In his spare time he also helped one of his three roommates, Crewman Simon Gradesh, work on fixing repulsor vehicles, and Zail advanced his knowledge of mechanics (Serpent: Vehicle Mechanics).

Junior Bridge Officer/Petty Officer 2nd Class

Zail grew enamoured of the Twi'lek Crewman Koyi Ban, and asked his Twi'lek roommate Crewman Kandon Toqema to help him brush up on his Rylothean language skills. Zail then participated in the Second Battle of Belgaroth, his first actual combat since joining the Vast Empire Navy. During the battle he served at the Comm Station, and helped identify the distress call and enable the rescue of pilot Trou Belin. Later in the battle, Zail helped coordinate attacks on the Imperial Remnant Lancer Class Frigate Mikasa and Strike Class Cruiser Ark of Wrath, leading to the destruction of both. For services in the battle he was awarded the Legion of Merit (High Stakes at Belgaroth). Following the battle, Zail helped to fix a damaged Flying Fortress, solidifying his status as a tech (Serpent: Naval Engineer Tier 1 Certification). Some time later, Zail was recruited into Vast Empire Naval Intelligence, where he participated in efforts to influence the government of the neutral world of Ord Terine. He was awarded the Merit Cross 2nd Class for his classified work (VENI: Serpent’s Political Meddling).

First Officer/Petty Officer 1st Class

Zail was promoted to First Officer of the Halcyon Warrior after the Second Battle of Belgaroth, during which the ship moved from Taskforce Aurek of the Second Fleet to Taskforce Besh of the First Fleet. After that, Zail rented an apartment on an orbital platform above Belgaroth, and settled in to his new home. He met his new droid, Raseven, and even visited the planet to purchase a Class 580 Light Freighter, the Ophidian Coil (Serpent Personal Story: Life on Belgaroth). While the fleet recovered from the recent battle, Zail was temporarily transferred to the Strike Cruiser SMC Surprise, under the command of Wyl Trykon to serve as its First Officer on its first assignment (Surprise: The Vast Empire Strikes Back). During his time on board, Zail helped to fix TIE Interceptors and advanced his technical skills (Serpent: Naval Engineer Tier 2 Certification). Upon returning to the Halcyon Warrior, Zail served as XO during the attack on rebels in the Escrutiod System (Halcyon Warrior: Punitive Measures). Later, he was sent by Naval Intelligence to track down a lost Imperial weapons research facility (VENI: Serpent's Hunt for Red Star Nova).

First Officer/Chief Petty Officer

When the Halcyon Warrior had engine trouble, Serpent helped to fix the hyperdrive (Serpent: Hyperspace Mechanic). Zail then went on a week-long training assignment at the Belgaroth Shipyards to complete his qualification as an Engineer (Serpent: Naval Engineer Tier 3 Certification).

First Officer/Master Chief Petty Officer

Zail continued to serve as First Officer of the Halcyon Warrior during a major engagement at Abrae with the Imperial Dominion. On the eve of the battle, he was notified of a promotion within Vast Empire Naval Intelligence, making him VENI's official fleet liaison. When he revealed this to Captain Mihawk it created a lot of tension between the two men, owing to the Captain's distrust of Intelligence's leader, Captain Grey. (VEN: Out of the Invisible). What was unknown at the time was that Serpent had been secretly promoted to the Head of Naval Intelligence as the Second Captain Grey.

First Officer/Warrant Officer 2nd Class

Serpent was present during the blockade of the planet Lasoris Minor, and served on the Halcyon Warrior during the battle with the Eleven Spear Mercenaries (VEN: The Blockade). In the weeks following that, Serpent finally completed and published a best-selling biography of Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik (Serpent Personal Story: Publishing Problems). Later, as part of his duties as Naval Intelligence's Fleet Liaison, he gave an intel briefing to personel on the Atrus (VEN: Heart of the Fleet).

Captain/Warrant Officer 2nd Class

Zail was selected for the Ship Captain Training Program, and was sent back to the Academy. There he assumed command of the Warden-Class Light Cruiser Courage and began to get to know his new crew. He came to rely upon the First Officer, Vagen Eosel (Serpent's First Command: The Courage). While on his way to his new command he mused about the difficulties he first had on entering the VEN and his time at the Com Station of the Halcyon Warrior (Serpent: Bridge Officer Tier 1 Certification). Serpent then commanded his ship and crew on their first ever mission, escorting a pair of Action VI Transports to Daishi Station (Serpent: SCFE). Following that mission, Zail was assigned to his actual command, the CR90 Defiance, and took it on its shakedown cruise (Defiance: Serpent: Shakedown Cruise). During a break from his duties, Serpent had to travel to Abrae for an Intel briefing, but the passenger shuttle hit a meteor shower. With the pilot injured, it fell to Zail to steer the craft to safety and chart a new hyperspace course home (Serpent: Astrogation: Ancillary Skill). Later, on a trip to the Atrus, Serpent and his old friend Simon Gradesh took in a Grav-ball match, and watched a historical wargame fleet battle in the Super Star Destroyer's new Hologram Games Suite (VEN: Heart of the Fleet).

Captain/Warrant Officer 1st Class

Following completion of his SCTP, Zail was suddenly assigned temporary command of the Halcyon Warrior, and indeed most of Taskforce Aurek. He then led them on a raiding mission against the Imperial Dominion, appointing Michele "Ellesmere" Blondeau to serve as his First Officer (2nd Fleet: Counterpunch: Famine).

Captain/Chief Warrant Officer

While protecting a freighter from pirates, a series of accidents forced Serpent to take the helm of the Defiance and pilot it in combat (Serpent: Bridge Officer Tier 2 Certification). Later, while travelling on the CR-90 Devilish Dare, Zail took over at a gunnery station in a battle with Republic X-Wings (Serpent: Gunnery: Ancillary Skill). Eventually Serpent took a vacation and visited the planet Qualdeen 4, where he befriended local ambassador, Consul Sharna Denaron (Serpent Personal Story: Relics and Receptions). Upon his return to service, he was transferred to command the VSD Brilliant and joined the continuing conflict with the Imperial Dominion as the XO of the Second Fleet. During the engagement at the Battle of the Bloodmoon, the Brilliant downed two enemy capital ships and earned the right to be the Admiral's Own (VEN: Counterpunch: War). Upon returning to VE space, the Brilliant was paired with the Venator Star Destroyer Blazing Crown to hunt down a Republic warship. This teamed Serpent with his father, Ardus Zail, who Pherik impressed with his gunnery skills (Serpent: Bridge Officer Tier 3 Certification).

Captain/Lieutenant Junior Grade

Serpent, as Agent Rain, was assigned to visit and report on the undercover VENI mission to the planet Xaafir (VENI: Snake Pit).

Captain/Lieutenant

Following his promotion, Serpent and the Brilliant continued the offensive against the Imperial Dominion. During downtime between engagements, Admiral Ph'rranix Krazanr visited the Brilliant for a tour. However, at the same time, prisoners taken during the Battle of the Bloodmoon managed to escape. They abducted the Admiral pff the ship, and also murdered Serpent's XO, Vagen Eosel. Zail was devasted by the events, but still captained the Brilliant during the following battle at the Sollamens System, where the VEN tried to rescue Krazanr(VEN: Counterpunch: Death). Some time after the battle, Serpent was sent to the Atrus to observe the new VENI Hub constructed on the flagship (VEN: Heart of the Fleet).

Captain/Lieutenant Commander

Following his promotion, Serpent was giving a briefing on the Adjudicator and was asked to help a crew member track an errant droid (VEN: Heart of the Second). Upon returning to the Brilliant, Serpent was sent on a mission to Qualdeen 4, there to be re-united with his love, the VE Ambassador to the planet, Consul Sharna Denaron. The two travelled back to Lotaith, and there Denaron introduced Zail to her old friend, Eylana Saitroni. Serpent was so impressed with the young Warrant Officer that he made her his new XO (Serpent Personal Story: The Brilliant’s New XO). Later, Zail was tasked by VENI to infiltrate the VE world of Orvanus III, there to gather blackmail material on its ruler, Governor Mitaan (Serpent: Infiltration: Ancillary Skill). Serpent then continued his VENI training, undergoing close combat training on Abrae (Serpent: Xeno-Martial Arts: Ancillary Skill) and Zero-g combat training on the Corvette Abismiliard (Serpent: Zero-Gravity Combat: Ancillary Skill).

When the Corellian League threatened Vast Empire interests, Serpent, acting as the Second Captain Grey, informed the Naval High Command. However, he was reassigned from the leadership of Naval Intelligence just prior to the Second Fleet departing for the engagment in the Absit System (Chapter 9 Prelude: Navy).
