Captain Bialar Crais
Now, a wanted man, a fugitive from the Peacekeepers.
Once that was different....
Bialar Crais grew up in a Peacekeeper Farming Community. Until the Peacekeepers came and took him and his brother Tauvo away from the life they had known so far. Bialar Crais was no more than 12 Cycles old when they came and his father made him promise to look after his 7 cycles younger brother, Tauvo.
He rose through the ranks from conscript, to Captain of a Command Carrier, the youngest Captain (and conscript), to ever make it that far. For cycles he was busy with the Leviathan-project. A project to breed gunship-Leviathans. A project that failed while Crais was still with the Peacekeepers. They did not know that the gunships could only be bred if the mother was not held captive. The prisoner-Leviathan Moya, was one of his experimental subjects.
Knowing that his life was forfeit on the Carrier, Crais asked for asylum on board Moya, this was reluctantly granted. During a conversation with Crichton, Crais admitted that his brother's death had been nothing more than an accident. He also admitted, that his ambition for power had made him lose sight of the needs of his brother.
When Moya gave birth to Talyn, the first successfully bred gunship, Crais boarded and "stole" Talyn. He accepted the Neural Interface, the Hand of Friendship, of Talyn and became, in effect, his Pilot.
For 2 cycles, Crais took Talyn deeper into The Uncharted Territories. Occassionally meeting up with the crew of Moya and aiding them in sticky situations. Yet, the others on Moya never trusted his motives or the good he could do to Talyn.
For over 30 cycles Bialar Crais kept his promise to keep his brother safe and close to him and Tauvo was with him when Bialar was Captain of the Command Carrier. Until the human Crichton crashed into Tauvo's Prowler, killing him instantly. Crais went insane with vengeance and hunted the Human and the band on Moya down, even going against High Command's orders to stop his pursuit.
It wasn't until Scoprius usurped Crais from Command and placed him in the Aurora Chair that his pursuit of Crichton ended.
Not until Scorpius' obsession with gaining the Wornhole-technology, which was locked in Crichton's head, came to a head and it was "rumoured" that Scorpius had part of the Wormhole-technology at his fingertips, that the crew of Moya came to see the good side of Crais. By now the Scarrans were also aware of this Technology. It would only be a matter of time before either Scorpius or the Scarrans would get hold of this technology. It was time for drastic measures.
The plan was to blow up the Command Carrier of Scorpius and with it the knowledge of the Wormhole-technology and Scorpius. Thus ensuring that it couldn't be used, Scorpius dead and the threat to the Universe squelched.
Unfortunately, the plan was flawed. To create such a devastating force mere explosives wouldn't work.
Talyn and Crais made the plan succeed by sacrificing themselves by StarBurst within the Command Carrier. Their chances of survival close to nil.
This plan worked. The Command Carrier was blown up, the Wormhole-technology destroyed.
They found nothing but a tailfin of Talyn after the explosion.
Talyn and Crais were believed dead.
But by a strange quirck of Fate they survived!
