Born 3601 ATC, Erai was brought into the world upon Zygerria by his Mother who worked as an administrator inside of the Royal Palace and his Father who actively practiced politics and lobbied for the recreation of the Royal Slave Auction and acted as head as one of Zygerria's more affluent noble houses. Unsurprisingly, he was raised in the lap of luxury along side his later younger brothers though witnessing the waning power of the Zygerrian Empire. Though revanchism and the unbreakable will and culture of the Zygerrian's once more led them to remobilization and dreams of restoring their once great slave empire. 3631 ATC just months before the Clone Wars, Erai who had been prestigiously offered a position as one of the High Queen's Royal Guards and had been training for most of his adult life with the interest of the Royal House and Zygerria at heart was privy to the knowledge from his Father that Zygerria's dream was once more realized and that the secret Zygerrian Slaver's Guild had been formed and was to begin operations at once. War was rife across the galaxy and with the Jedi's watchful gaze clouded by their new duties to the war effort, Zygerria was given opportunity across the outer rim to begin harvesting slaves from desolate planets out of the reach of the Republic's Clone Armies and the Jedi. Though, this was not enough to restart the intergalactic trade of slaves once more and so the High Queen of Zygerria opted for an alliance with the Separatist cause under the terms that Zygerria would be supplied with slaves as long as a "fair" amount were to supply the Separatist war machine. Things fell apart quickly as a Jedi strike team trailed their way back to Zygerria and caused chaos, eventually leading to High Queen Scintel's death and the destruction of the Kadavo slaving facility, which was under inspection by Erai's Father who was ultimately killed during the Republic's assault. With his influential Father killed, and Scintel's death - Molec rose to the throne, though not without a purge of potentially unloyal guard: Erai was first in line, due to his long service in the Royal Guard though his house's standing and influence his Father held it would have been publicly.. disfavourable to dispose of Erai entirely. He was honourably discharged and granted benefit and pension, though an early retirement had no business with the still spry Zygerrian and instead went inwards to the Core Worlds to fall into hiding and obscurity until the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire - which with new laws on slavery, left a galaxy at odds with a milennia old tradition of Zygerrian slavery and one Zygerrian not yet ready to not further his Empire.

Place Of Origin: Zygerria - Few things are more closely guarded to Erai than the place of his birth witnessing one of it's lowest points then it's near resurgence and fall back to obscurity in all but a week. Revanchism drives many Zygerrian's attempts to restart and empower their slaving empire, though Erai is particularly driven to not only live up the House V'hem's name but also to prove his worth and loyalty to the crown once more, so that he may finally return home knowing that he is once more supported by not only the crown but the other houses - their leaders transitioning to many old friends of Erai's. Any opportunity that can be exploited to this end, be it the acquisition of slaves or Imperial endorsement is ruthlessly pursued by Erai in hopes of returning graciously back to his Zygerria.

(3) Oath: Dominance - Zygerrian culture entirely revolves around dominance and strength whether it be physical or mental: often times both. Weakness could easily mean death or their own enslavement, often viewed worse than the former. Disputes were settled with fist fights and so, Erai seldomly refuses to rise to a challenge or dispute, unless knowing the contest had already been lost.

(2) Obsession: Slavery - Zygerrians built their lives, empire and society off of slavery and thus became utterly notorious for it. The dogma that "the strong dominate the weak" was the natural order of life was strongly held by every Zygerrian and even war and defeat against Jedi had failed to quell that. Despite their notorious reputation, Zygerrian's were known to be well disciplined and carried a strong structure and honour to their slavery and viewed it as business and life in it's simplest of forms. Erai seldomly seeks the death of opponents or potential slaves, as death does not further deepen his pockets nor Zygerria's.

Erai stands little taller than most of his species at 5'9; which, further cemented his species cultural affixation of dominance that acted as the lifeblood of Zygerria for centuries. With his height comes greater weight alongside it though physically he stands burly and heavily muscled despite it being masked underneath his traditional garments.

Zygerrians being feline near humans with fangs, claws, and two most noticeable features: fur and large ears atop their heads - Erai was little different save for the lack of the more angular features found in many, carrying a wider and blunter jaw. He further bears gray fur banding from his cheeks beside his pale face with bone spurs protruding from his chin which are coated in a pale gold intentionally matching his yellow irises on top of black sclera.
