Mental characteristics
Personal history
Long lost daughter of Emperor Zurrok and Tirana, Zaliah herself was conceived around betrayal of her brother, Terrix. Zaliah was born contaminated with the virus like corruption that had infected her brother and the same kind that had nearly killed Tirana. Though due to Zurrok's heavy exposure to corruption over his lifetime it is found that she is terminally ill, the virus like corruption killing her from the moment she is born. Knowing Zaliah's chances of survival were slim, Zurrok has Zaliah put on stasis like life support. So afraid that Tirana would not be able to handle seeing another one of her children turn against her due to corruption, Zurrok told the lie that Zaliah did not survive. She remained on life support, mostly in the care of Warmarshal Skar while Zurrok tirelessly worked on a cure.
Upon Skar going into a coma and passing away, Zaliah was cared for by his family until infamous enemy of Zurrok, Skree, managed to track down her location, to which he sent men to capture her so that she could be used as a bargaining chip against Zurrok, who had been causing Skree a lot of trouble since their initial run in. Zurrok was of course outraged and tried desperately to track them down.
Regenold got a hold of Skree’s capital ship, capturing Skree and Zaliah alike. This was also when Regenold captured Tirana and Greks son Arc'orion.
as a big statement to the galaxy, Regenold tried to execute them all, however only succeeding in killing Arc'orion and Tirana before forces of both the Sirasions and Necrophytes arrived to stop him. The only time Zaliah ever got to see her mother was in the hours leading up to her death, but neither recognized each other.
After that happend, Zurrok decided he could no longer keep locking Zaliah up and keeping her away from the galaxy, so he decided to let her free and let her continue her life as his daughter, rather than medical patient, with the risk of corruption overtaking her always present, Zurrok kept a close eye on her. Due to this, Zaliah became quite rebellious. now set free from confinement she spent her free time getting into all sorts of trouble. She became an avid air racer pilot and in this time became quite close with Zitanian bounty hunter Samsara
Zurrok knew Zaliah would find out the truth about her mother eventually, so begrudgingly he told her the whole story of where she came from. Zaliah was understandably upset. She ran off into the stars alone where her rebellious tendencies only grew.
"Everything I know, my entire life, has been a lie. Stay away from me"It was on one such escapade Zaliah came into contact with the disease later dubbed as Wendigo Syndrome. She was the first in the galaxy be infected with the virus in its initial state and was there for considered to be patient zero. The group called the Parafued theorised that with the original strain from Zaliah that could extract a cure for the whole galaxy, but the process would likely kill her. When the disease was at its peak and Zurrok went missing in the Overman pocket dimension, Darkstar, who was now Emperor, decided to go ahead with the Parafeud's plan to extract a cure from Zaliah, even if it meant her death. Darkstar ordered Zaliah, who was on life support and being studied by various scientists, to be moved to a Parafeud facility. To cover his tracks, Darkstar paid a pirate crew to utterly destroy the former facility, including the scientists. Following this, he double crossed the pirates and turned the full might of the imperial navy on them, thus eliminating any link of this traitorous action to him. The Parafeud managed to extract a cure from Zaliah which killed her in the process, but as a result the galaxy was cured of the Wendigo Syndrome. Zurrok to the day does not know about what truly happened to Zaliah. She was buried in the same tomb on Siran as the rest of Zurrok's family in a secret location. Those that managed to speak to Zaliah before she was induced into a coma while a cure was being sought said that she forgave her father for all that had happened, Zurrok however never heard its personally due to being out finding a cure. It was rumoured that before she died the Parafued scientists gave Darkstar the option to awake Zaliah and give her some final words. Darkstar, knowing he was betraying the former emperor and one of his closest friends, refused, not even being able to bring himself to look at her one last time.
Education
Being confined to Siran for such a long time, Zaliah didn't have much to do other than study. She became exceptionally well versed in galactic politics and history, showing a strong interest in the history of the Necrophytes specifically.

Failures & Embarrassments
Zaliah, while on an excursion with Samsara to the Popophite cartel for a weekend of drinks, gambling and general debauchery, managed to get the both of them arrested by the authorities. The two were set to fight in the pecking order pit, that was until Zaliah managed to get a distress signal off to Zurrok, who crashed the party and rescued the both of them. A deed which Zurrok did not let Zaliah forget about easily.

Despite being kept confined for most of her life, Zaliah didn't grow to resent Zurrok. Having studied corruption and it's effects she learned herself why she was being contained. As she grew older and understood her condition further she did grow a strong desire to leave and explore the galaxy for herself. When Zurrok finally released her, he kept a controlling hand and a vigilant watch on her, which cause Zaliah to develop a defiant nature, often going out of her way to escape her fathers watch.
Zaliah never knew her mother, Tirana. Her even surviving her early years being kept secret from her. Zaliah was told Tirana was not her mother, that her real mother had died when she was born. The only time Zaliah met Tirana was before Tirana's execution at the hands of Regenold.
