Been a honor to serve with you! *salutes*

Any passing thoughts on Nudie's development under your tutelage?

*salutes big blue*

I like to imagine at some point, Jo'ren, Kat, and Durasay made like an oath to their fellow badasses that they'd look after the other ones' family if anything happened to them. Loved their scene together against Vaylin.

Is there anything you wish had happened on screen that was left out for either Tyber or Durasay?

Durasay is one of the characters it's been the most interesting to see definitely maturing from game to game. It's neat.

Can I toss you the 'tell us about his babies' softball here?

I loved reading Dursay's story over these games, it was a great arc. I'm also really glad we got to have our moment in the sun fighting side by side together in this one

What was the most unexpected development of Dur's for you over the series?

I missed a bunch of stuff about Durasay but I'm curious to know the history he had with Captain Syrian. Enough to get a 10k bounty.

The moment of the biggest satisfaction?

The biggest regret, now that everything is set and done?

The most unnerving unfinished business?

The biggest self-inflicted facepalm that made curses fly?

The biggest WTF/screen-spitting moment?

NOBLE REGALIA

Varying from culture to culture, noble regalia typically incorporates multiple layers of ornate, expensive clothing. Although a casual observer might not recognize the wearer's exact rank or title, noble regalia nonetheless conveys a degree of aristocratic importance.

Background:
Durasay is a proud (one could easily say arrogant) man in his late forties. Coming from a long line of military members, he mustered out of the Pantoran Defense Forces about seven years ago, finding himself into the line of a gun for hire. He eventually wound up with Nudimsu and his crew. He always had a way with words, an almost preternatural talent for either turning people to his side, or knowing just how to frame his arguments to come across as the best course of action.

He's beyond charming, though it's really his ability to lead that stands out. Also with a cunning mind and quick fingers, he's easily at home in the gambling dens as he is the warroom. Unfortunately, he can be a bit of a short fuse when frustrated, even with military training to hone his discipline.

Since Nar Shaddaa, Durasay returned home, running a grass roots campaign of political office that ended with him being elected Senator of Pantora. A popular voice with the Populist faction of senators, seeking to give more power to each member system and decentralize the Republic government as much as possible while still maintaining law and order. More importantly, providing for the general welfare.

It was his own sense of Duty, and a bad habit of taking risks, that Durasay immediately volunteered for the mission for Bankor, his contacts with the Pantoran Planetary Forces allowing him to commission his old armor and operate under his rank of 'Captain. He looks to help the people of Bankor, while hoping to strengthen their own Populist group.

During Bankor, Durasay was impacted by his encounters with a young force sensitive named Lelia. She was talented, impulsive. The older Senator saw something of himself in her, and through several conversations, tried to gauge her thoughts on the Force, the nature of the conflict inherent in it. His rage was stoked when she was murdered by Dynos Val, a Sith that had already negatively impacted another so close to him.

In the interim since Bankor, Durasay was elected to a second term as Senator from Pantora. It will be his final term, due to term limits from the Chairman of Pantora, and Durasay takes the responsibility seriously. He is a member of the Military Affairs Subcommittee, chosen for it thanks to his efforts in helping liberate Bankor.

While not necessarily invested in the politics of Alderaan, he is there as an observer for cultural exchange.

In the interim time period between Bankor and Alderaan, Durasay did not receive much contact with his secret Sith Lord, Moyr A'haya, also known as Lord Tenebrous. With rumors that she had killed a staunch ally, Durasay began to realize that if she could do that to an ally, what was the nature of their relationship? Without any contact, despite reaching out, he began to separate himself, realizing the need to protect himself, and perhaps those he cared about.

During the festival at Alderaan, Durasay was contacted by a noblewoman, Verash Organa, seeking to make a trade deal with Pantora. After their business was concluded, Durasay kept calling upon her. Maybe it was the atmosphere of the festival, but it blossomed to a full relationship with the consumate business woman. An intelectual equal, and the ease with which he opened up to her. It just felt right, and the pair fell in love.

Since Alderaan, Durasay and Verash have gotten married, further cementing an alliance between Alderaanian and Pantoran noble families, though that certainly is only a bonus compared to having a partner to live out the rest of his days with. They have two young children, who have shown signs of sensitivity with the Force, though Durasay shields them from the Jedi, choosing to teach them himself.

Coming to Hoth with the crew of the Turtle, the aging Durasay may be seeking one last adventure, or simply a need to determine what the nature of the Gree are, and are they a threat…
