Ummm... sorry, but this character seems a touch too farfetched even for us.

Is he Sith? Is he human? What the heck is Shiado???

Make him a Sith who for whatever reason chooses to take on a human appearance via Sith magicks; the rest is ok, about the mask and his being an outcast (for whatever reason).

But this weird Sith/Shiado/human thing is just too much, sorry.

Um, Gray, I think I know what Ryk is doing. A Shiado (or however it's spelled) is a shapeshifter, but rarely ever shows his true form. We saw Clawdites in Episode II, but Shiado's are master shapeshifters, sometimes spending entire lifetimes disguised as another species, integrating themselves into their society, and sometimes die, never revealing that they are shapeshifters. This is typical though, because most people never trust a shapeshifter. The older a Shiado gets, the more skilled he becomes at shapeshifting also.

Nailed et on the head you did Sak. They're from starwars, specifically created in the Star Scream series of books in the 90's.

Yeah, Cop. Djorn was a shiado.

They basically take the form of whatever species they want to, they just have to be about that creatures size. They are awesome.

Thank you all for the clarification. Much confusion would have been avoided had that reference been placed in the description.

All is well, and this particular character looks interesting, to say the least!

Carry on....
