The Zanto's were a successful couple. They loved their careers and their luxurious life their high-paying jobs afforded them. Whil etheir only son lacked in the warm fuzzy of a close family, his parents gave him lots of leniency. A boy left to his own devices, on a planet like Zeltros, meant by the time Dak was in his teens, he was living his best life, a party life. Dak possessed a gifted aptitude for mechanics, and was hired to work on high-end speeders and air cars, only taking jobs from wealthy clients. He became an adrenaline junking, racing vehicles of every kind. While he kept his grades high, and didn't get in trouble with the law, his parents were happy. It was, afterall, Zeltros.
As he reached early adulthood, Dak had had his fill of thrills on the ground, and looked up to the stars. He managed to buy a partially stripped racing starfighter that he customized and began running the racing circuit. His unusually sharp instincts in piloting vehicles now made him a successful racer.
Dak lived the high-life, becoming a local celebrity, and then galazy-wide, the life of the party as he won race after race. But all that came to a screeching halt when one race changed his life. He and a buddy he had made on the circuit entered a New Year celebration race. All was going well for the both of them, until something in Dak's thrusters malfunctioned, flinging his ship out of control, until it careened into his friend's racer. While Dak was able to regain control of his damaged ship, his friend's ship had disintegrated.
After that, after not only losing his friend to an accident, but causing it himself, left Dak devastated. Eventually, in a desperate desire to find personal redemption, he heard about the Foundation. While never having been in the military, his skills in piloting made him an excellent candidate to fly a starfighter. After a short stint as a fighter pilot for the Foundation, Dak was once again searching for purpose. He replaced his racing ship hauler with a more heavily armed vessel equipped with a sensor suite, and began helping others in any way he could.

Dak's stature is not unusual, though his frame is quite physically fit. His skin is light crimson, while his hair seems to shift depending on the light from almost black to blue, and seems to defy taming. His gaze is hazel, softer than the hues of his skin and hair. He wears a small charm around his neck given to him by the sister of his friend who was killed while racing.

Strengths:
Crack Pilot: Dak has a natural gift for piloting spacecraft and vehicles. With excellent eye-hand coordination, trigger reflexes and the mental abilities in spacial awareness, calculations and quick decision-making, he excelled as a professional starfigher racer.
Mechanical Whiz: Equally talented in the various systems within spacecraft and vehicles, Dak can troubleshoot the most difficult problem and come up with a repair, even if unorthodox.
No Shortage of Cash: Dak's professional racing career was very lucrative, and he still recieves income for endorsements.
Celebrity: Dak's status as a former starship racing champion can come in handy if he is recognized.
Weaknesses:
Guilt-Ridden: Beneath his gregarious behavior, Dak still sees himself as the cause of his friend's death. He feels a need for penance, something that will satisfy his guilt, but has not yet found what it is. There is always a risk for a debilitating flashback to that day that could undermine his activity.
Celebrity: Celebrity has its downfalls as well, like when you don't want to be recognized. Or when you are faced with temptation.
