Galeus Antilles
Antilles Galeus
Antilles Galeus is a towering figure with distinct shark-like features. His angular face tapers into a sharp, predatory jawline, adorned with rows of gleaming, serrated teeth. His skin is a pale, slate gray, mottled with darker streaks that shimmer faintly under certain light. His sleek, muscular frame and smooth gait evoke a sense of fluidity, as though he is perpetually gliding through water. His piercing, unblinking eyes seem to size up everything and everyone in their gaze, leaving humans with a gnawing sense of vulnerability.
Personality
Antilles exudes an air of quiet menace that unnerves most humans. His presence is unsettling—an aura of existential dread lingers in his wake, amplified by his shark-like appearance. However, those who can push past this initial fear find him to be strikingly professional and highly intelligent.
To Antilles, human concerns are trivial. He views them not with malice, but with cold indifference, much like an economist observing fluctuations in the market. This dispassion extends to his dealings, which are both pragmatic and devoid of sentimentality.
Relationship with the Spaceport
The Spaceport is a critical hub for Antilles’ operations. Here, he mingles with various species, scouting for potential clients or trade opportunities. Humans often avoid him, though the bravest—or most desperate—occasionally approach him for financial advice, trading tips, or even employment opportunities.
His reputation among the Spaceport staff is mixed. Dreena, the Antarean waitress, finds his professionalism commendable but remains wary of his predatory undertones. Cookie, the cook, finds it hard to mask his disdain for Antilles, perhaps owing to a shared aquatic lineage.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The first impression when meeting Antilles is his strength. He's imposing, and could easily be mistaken for a body guard.
Facial Features
long wide nose, quite imposing teeth
Apparel & Accessories
Depite his imposing appearance, Antilles is always impeccably dressed. He favors tailored suits made from luminous, interwoven fibers from his homeworld, designed to project wealth and command respect.
Mental characteristics
Employment
Antilles specializes in brokering high-stakes transactions between diverse species. His profession is viewed by many humans as tantamount to slave trading, but Antilles argues that he facilitates "life-changing opportunities" for his clients—many of whom hail from destitute circumstances on distant worlds.
He is infamous for his persuasive arguments, which appeal to logic and survival instincts. Though unsettling, his conversations reveal a razor-sharp intellect and an unmatched understanding of intergalactic economics.
Intellectual Characteristics
He's bright, beyond the norm for Galeuns, which is impressive since they are an intelligent race. He sees numbers as an art form.
- Persuasion: Antilles’ words have an almost hypnotic effect, drawing his audience into a world of logic and cold pragmatism.
- Sharp Senses: His shark-like physiology gives him heightened senses, particularly in low-light or high-stress situations.
- Combat Aptitude: Though rarely needed, his physical strength and reflexes make him a formidable opponent.
Morality & Philosophy
Antilles firmly believes in the principle of mutual benefit, though his definition of "benefit" is often skewed toward the interests of his Regulan clientele. In his eyes, humans are "lesser beings," and their exploitation is a logical step in advancing the prosperity of more "worthy" civilizations.
Taboos
Antilles Galeus adheres to a strict set of cultural and personal taboos that reflect his values and the ethos of his people. Violating these taboos would compromise his identity and professional standing, both among his species and in the intergalactic community.
