About:

''T'lik Nava Ochana (T-leek - Nah-vah - Oh-cha-nah) is a twenty year old female Varia, the subrace of the Xryn. She has served as Lord Paradox's Eternity Commander since age 17. As one of the high-rank officers, T'lik organizes raids, patrols, scouts, and spearheads covert operations for the dictatorship. One of the main accomplishments of her career is the capture and imprisonment of Ace, a Zyntharian crime lord.''

''Relations between T'lik and Eternity General Zan Pyro are strained due to Paradox giving a promotion to Zan instead of her. Even though Zan outranks T'lik, the Eternity soldiers respect her more than Zan. Zan continues to pursue T'lik to no avail. T'lik also takes part in Zyntharian Fight Night, a fight club that operates freely under Paradox's rule, under the alias "X" (Eks).''

''T'lik met Astrid at age seventeen. T'lik and Astrid both occupied the lowest rank of Private at the time. They both harbor feelings for eachother but keep it a secret as not to upset the tender relations between Paradox and T'lik.''

-T'lik is responsible for the murder of Kalten Amena (cal-ten - Ah-men-ah) of the Lynxin tribe Fercum during the Maky Nitoo.

After escaping Paradox in Rise, she joins Eris, Astrid, Damen, Marcus, Izax, Alec, and Va'ryn as they embark on their journey through space- and their pasts.

Background:

''At age 15 T'lik was inducted into the High Priestess's Army. T'lik trained under her mother Fadina who was the High Priestess's General, and sparred daily with Aka. At age seventeen, T'lik and Aka were courting each other when Aka was murdered by Kalten. They fought until Kalten fled the scene. T'lik was found standing over Aka with her dagger and was framed for murder. T'lik fled the village and went off in search of Kalten. She found Kalten two months later and shot her with a poisoned arrow. After finding a ship T'lik left Varian and flew to Zynthar.''

Quotes:

"So eager to drop a few gutter rats?"

"To put it plainly, you suck at your job. And if you hadn't been Paradox's bedmate, it's likely you would have been tossed out by now."

"Yeah, I don't do favors."

[My mind was whirling, calculating, trying to understand how I'd spin this to my advantage.]

"Let me elaborate. I assume you value your face quite a lot so I'll make this easy for you. Touch her and there will be some painful modifications. Understand?"

[Alec had started calling T'lik "the snake" after she had almost killed him after he'd bumped into her in the hallway.]
