Baxos Delmirev
Baxos Delmirev is a towering brass dragonborn, his scarred, metallic scales dulled from years of battle and hardship. His frame is thick with muscle, built from a lifetime of mercenary work, brawling, and running jobs for crime syndicates across the Kagoma System. A man of few words and immense presence, he serves as the bartender, bouncer, and bodyguard at Salda’s Saloon, ensuring that business flows smoothly—and that no one crosses Salda without consequences.
It is whispered in dark corners that Baxos once had the freedom to go anywhere, to fight for anyone—but he chose to shackle himself instead. When Salda was captured by the Empire and forced into indentured servitude, Baxos did the unthinkable: he entered servitude alongside her, ensuring that no force in the galaxy would take her from him. Their relationship is a mystery to many—there is no romance, no spoken affection, yet Baxos follows her with a loyalty deeper than blood. Some say he owes her a life-debt from a past long buried, others claim it is something more complex—something only the two of them truly understand. Behind the bar, Baxos moves with a deliberate calm, his massive clawed hands effortlessly polishing glasses or mixing drinks. He watches the saloon’s patrons with a predatory gaze, his slit-pupiled eyes reading intentions before words are ever spoken. He has broken men in half for less than a sideways glance at Salda, and the regulars know better than to start trouble under his watch. His past is a patchwork of notorious tales—mercenary campaigns, smuggling runs, and blood-soaked betrayals. He speaks little of it, though the scars across his body tell a violent story. He still carries his old war cleaver, a worn two handed axe that has served him well for many years. For now, Baxos stands as Salda’s shield, watching, waiting. Whatever binds him to her, it is stronger than money, stronger than fear. And if the day ever comes when she moves against the Empire that enslaved them both, Baxos will be standing beside her, ready to burn the system to the ground.
