The Ralak were always a headstrong race but over the centuries they had learned to work together, however uneasily, to better there race as a whole.
LOBO was the exception.
as a young Ralak, LOBO was always the loner, always out for himself, he would join the war effort only for the love of fighting and join raiding parties only in order to take all the profits for himself. as you may expect having such a member in your ranks would severely hurt the group effort, not to mention severely piss off the other members.
with each of LOBO's blatant attempts to rob the ralak forces of their earnings, said forces would inevitably turn on him in an attempt to get back what was rightfully theirs. and with each group that turned, they would inevitably fall. a cunning fighter and not above pulling dirty tricks or preparing his escape before hand, LOBO's combination of brains and brawn created a force that could not be stopped by any group of ralak who had tried.
after years of watching him, the ralak leaders started to see potential in LOBO. one day after he had escaped back to his lair high in the mountains, far out of reach of those who would have his head, LOBO was met by a Ralak General who had a message for him. he was being hired for a job. LOBO was being hired as the Ralak's first ever assassin. A job he would master over his lifetime.
