Scorpius
Scorpius has proved to be a formidable enemy to John Crichton and the crew of Moya -- he is cold, methodical, intelligent
and determined. He is half-Sebacean and half-Scarran, the product of a cruel breeding experiment conducted by the Scarrans.
His hybrid physiology is the reason for the elaborate protective suit he wears: His Sebacean characteristics cannot tolerate
the heat radiated by his Scarran side. Scorpius' childhood aboard a Scarran Dreadnought was brutal enough to motivate not
only his eventual escape, but also his lifelong vendetta against the Scarran race. He defected to the Peacekeepers, where
he succeeded in gaining great power and esteem. He was given command of a Gammak Base -- a secret Peacekeeper weapons-
research installation deep in the Uncharted Territories. When Scorpius discovered that secret wormhole knowledge had been
hidden in Crichton's mind by The Ancients, he became obsessed with extracting that information. His unconventional and
unrelenting pursuit of Crichton threatened everyone on Moya for well over a cycle. The Peacekeepers accepted the high cost
of this pursuit for a time, but eventually Scorpius began to lose the respect of his subordinates and the Peacekeeper High
Command.
