Name: Ridley

Faction: The Kromus Pirates

Occupation: Supreme Commander of the Kromus Pirates

Distinguishing Characteristics:
Race/Species: Unknown, “Space Dragon"
Sex and Gender: “Male"
Height: 6.4m(3.7m when quadruped)/9.4m including tail(20m wingspan)
Weight: 600 kilograms
Beyond his size and mass, Ridley is capable of plasmic breath that has been observed to easily melt steel, as well as “coughing” bursts of flaming plasma in the form of fireballs, and he has been observed throwing aside objects weighing in single digit tonnage, indicating his ratio of body mass to physical strength is of equal range to the Jiralhanae. His ability to regenerate from normally lethal wounds, up to and including a one explosive ton Afloraltite explosion on K-2L, is also one of the key abilities that has led to the fearsome reputation that follows Ridley. The only thing as far that seems to have left permanent damage of any kind was the Chozo Catalyst Blade used by Captain John Aran during their fight on Krom, suggesting that Chozo “plasma” may be one of the few things that his ability to heal cannot completely regenerate, as he was left with several deep scars over his body, including a prominent mark across his right eye during their encounter at the Siege of Krom.

Other Information: Where Ridley came from, or what he even is, is unknown even to the Kromus. He appeared to them almost three to four hundred years ago and ended the escalating tribal wars that they had been embroiled in for almost the entirety of their time as a space faring species, setting up High Command as his subordinate "equals" to carry out his orders and intentions when he was not able to do so directly. He seems to have a frighteningly high level of knowledge of Chozo technologies and insight as to the culture and mindset of the modern-day Brood. Few, if any, among the Kromus dared to question him and his might, and in return, he has lead them to conquest in their home galaxy and the Small Magellanic Cloud, and eventually to crossing the dark space void to reach the Sol-Daiban Galaxy where they began probing the Galactic Federation for plundering. The level of returns they have gained for following the dragonoid, however, have been sharply declining, and have given some factions of the Kromus reason to question continued loyalties to Ridley. Despite their biological dispositions to follow the strongest figure of leadership, a growing number of tribes seek to strike on their own without Ridley, after not only the loss of their ancestral origin world in the Kromus War, but also their second ejection from Zebes and his abandonment of many of the smaller tribes following the destruction of Tourian and the death of the Mother Brain. However, his continued existance is not known by much of the galaxy, and even Confederation Intelligence believes Ridley to be dead.
