Following a near-death experience from the lightsaber of Tahiri Tarentae on his birth-world of Dathomir, Zxyl Bes'uliik tapped deep within his own body and his abilities to harness the Shadow Magick of his people to sustain and empower himself. As a result, his abilities in the Force now exclusively manifest themselves with the same green ichor harnessed by his ancestors.

A dark, otherworldly echo is present as Zxyl Bes'uliik speaks, a result of his deep search into and knowledge of Shadow Magick. While he has managed to tap deep within these dark arts to empower his abilities, this dark otherworldly echo could be very off-putting, and perhaps be enough to drive people from interacting with the Dathomirian-Mandalorian at all.

As a Foundling Zxyl Bes'uliik is a strict follower of the Mandalorian Creed and ancient Way of the Manda'lor orthodox religion that require him to live by several tenets, and never remove his helmet in front of another person. Adherence to the Creed surpasses all, including family and friends. He hails from a clan of Mandalorian Armorers that has worked the Great Forge for centuries - taking great pride in his perfectionist creations.

Zxyl Bes'uliik will not fault someone for being a traditionalist or orthodox Mandalorian, but judges fellow Mando'ade on their adherence to the Mandalorian Creed, usually dictating how he will react to most situations. He has been known to invoke the Mandalorian Code when encountering dar'manda or those that have dishonored themselves by breaking the Creed to ensure a pure, healthy, strong and honorable Mandalorian culture.

Zxyl Bes'uliik may be a mercenary, but he is a Mandalorian commando at heart. He bears a certain seriousness to most situations, and isn't much of a joker. While he can appreciate a good joke, and crack them himself on the odd occassion, it's not often that he partakes in them himself. His jokes are cruel and brutish, highlighting the failures of other.

Zxyl Bes'uliik ain't afraid to call it as he sees it, whether it's a good plan or stupid one, he'll always be brutally honest in his assessment. While some feel this a refreshing and necessary truth, others may find his seriousness, assessments, and unusually brutish jokes cruel and unnecessary.

Zxyl Bes'uliik knows who he is, what he's capable of, and what knowledge he possesses. Stoic and headstrong, proud of his knowledge and abilities - yet not egotistical - Zxyl Bes'uliik is resolute and unyielding in the way he operates. If he knows something can be done a certain way, that's just the way he'd prefer to do it or see it done. He's incredibly resistant to self-change and influence on his mental thought process, refusing to let the opinions or ideas of others influence his decision making.

Zxyl Bes'uliik's ego is not so big as to outright dismiss the ideas offered by others, he just doesn't listen to them, hard-coded to believe his avenue is the only option. While some may salute him for being so steadfast, others might view him as brash or overly stubborn. Being so inflexible in his processes and operations will occasionally lead to stifling of Zxyl Bes'uliik's personal growth.

Zxyl Bes'uliik is a well measured behemoth of sheer will and commitment, with an immense level of focus and high level of resolve on his end goal. He allows nothing to stand in his way of his intended target or objective, and isn't afraid to go outside the box when conventional weapons fail or he's restricted of his typical armament, utilizing the most rudimentary items like a hydrospanner or eating utensil.

Zxyl Bes'uliik is unconcerned with collateral damage, procedural norms, or the rules of engagement. He does not care about fighting "clean". His goal is to eliminate the target or complete the objective, with failure not an option that crosses his mind. This brash and somewhat reckless do-it-or-die mentality almost always puts him at an increased risk of a permanent injury or impairment, with minor injuries usually the norm.

The Iron Beast of Mandalore has trained with various weapon types but breaks with traditional Mandalorian style by carrying iconic weapons — light-weapons — into combat and blending use of the unique archetype with traditional Mandalorian combat forms, his athleticism, and every tool in his arsenal to be a capable opponent.

The Iron Beast prefers to keep the strength of his Shadow Magick abilities secret from members of the Brotherhood and as such has Concealment raised for this purpose at all times — preferring to rely on his traditional skillset to get the job done. Zxyl Bes'uliik will charge into any conflict head on, and has little regard for indications that he is out-skilled and outmatched because of his Mandalorian pride — with his zealot mentality leading to much greater risks.
