Telluis

Telluis the Traitor was an exiled Sontaran colonel and the former leader of the of the Sontaran Elite Division around the 52nd Century. He was notorious for having avoided execution by his superiors after he was caught selling information from the Rutan Host. Stripped of his honour and banished from Sontar, Telluis became a freelance mercenary.

Biography
Telluis originally served as a communications specialist onboard the main warship of the Sixtieth Sontaran War Fleet, though his ambitious nature eventually led to him receiving several promotions until he was appointed the head of the Sontaran Elite Division, one of the most senior Sontaran squadrons. Telluis would then spend seventeen years in the thick of the Sontaran's war with the Rutan Host, during which he was rumoured to have killed four Rutans single-handedly. However, he soon became disillusioned with the Sontaran's cause, and after being denied a promotion that would have made him general, decided to double-cross his superiors and sell information for the Rutans.

For five years, Telluis worked for the Rutans as their spy and infiltrator in the Sontaran ranks until he was caught by his comrades giving the Rutans the stratagems to a planned bombardment of Ruta III. Captured and stripped of his rank and honour, Telluis was to be sent back to Sontar to be publicly executed. In order to shame him, his fellow soldiers gave him the title of "Telluis the Traitor". However, en-route to his Sontar, Telluis managed to break free og his captivity and escape his fate in a scout ship.

With nowhere else to go, Telluis turned to mercenary work, and retreated into the criminal underworld of Mutter's Spiral in exile. Eventually, he managed to build up a formidable reputation as a freelance gun-for-hire, notorious for taking up especially risky jobs. He was known to be a frequenter of the seedy bar known as the Maldovarium, where he would often resort to drinking to drown out his sorrows. He was also familiar with the bar's owner, Dorium Maldovar, would regularly supply him with information and rumours that would aid him on his missions.

Telluis would eventually make the choice to become a freelance Dalek Hunter, a suicidal job that pitted him against the Daleks on a regular basis. After surviving five missions, Telluis' criminal reputation grew dramatically, and he became heavily sought out by a number of Dalek-opposing organisations. However, he chose to retire from this lifestyle and return to regular mercenary.

It is rumoured that the Time Lords even considered imprisoning Telluis within their prison planetoid of Shada, though decided against it.

Personality
Telluis was an ambitious and cunning individual, notorious for his excellent skills as a military tactician. However, he was not committed to the Sontaran cause, and was bold enough to betray the Sontaran Empire to the Rutans and sell important information to them. Like all Sontarans, Telluis was extremely passionate about warfare and combat, though he preferred being in a position of power on the battlefield over the role of a soldier. Though he found mercenary work engaging, he did not find it quite as savoury as he did as an officer.

Telluis was an excellent marksman and a powerful adversary in both armed and unarmed combat. After his banishment from Sontar, Telluis became particularly defensive of what was left of his pride, and even as a mercenary, operated by a rugged code of honour. His exile had had a very lasting effect on Telluis, and he had entered a mild depression by the time he became a Dalek Hunter. He had also resorting to heavy drinking in order to ease his melancholia. Despite being a traitor to his own kind, he often enjoyed reflecting on his military career.
