Tsexic Raad

Tsexic Raad is a poet from the Raad lineage. The Raad are the operational arm of the Haavu Family. Where the Haavu build, the Raad execute. They deploy family-exclusive technology in covert operations and have access to engineering the rest of the planet does not know exists. Project Permeance moved through these networks. Tsexic was never gifted in any of it. He tried combat training and found he had no natural talent with weapons and nothing he could do with them against anyone his size who had been practicing their entire lives. His gift is words.

His father, now 143, was one of the most lethal operators the Raad ever produced. The family forced him to retire because he was too effective to continue using. After Tsexic's mother left and was never seen again, his father raised the children alone and tried to teach them that conquering without the use of weapons or violence would send the world in a better direction. Tsexic took this philosophy and applied it in a way his father never intended.

He carries no weapons anywhere. He has traveled across the planet, entered syndicate circuits, Teytan territory, Children of Kharan operations, and higher-tier contractor camps, and survived every one through speech alone. He has dozens of children scattered across the planet from temporary relationships, possibly more, none of whom he knows. He fell in love twice. The first woman decided he was not worth the commitment. The second, a sailor from Berinu, left because he was not hardy enough. Love has constantly failed him. Words have not.

He grew up near the Veykar side of Yelidra Veykar's lineage and is one of her only friends. The relationship is not affection. They have known each other since childhood but do not necessarily like each other. Their existence is so far beyond everyone else that nobody else occupies the same space. He lives on her clearing in a palace large enough to house everyone he has ever been with and every child he has ever produced. His father and two sisters are the only people in it. All of his work is published in writing only, as if the relay does not exist. Yelidra jokes that his words are too valuable to let go easily. Many of his writings were turned into songs for artists under Yelidra, with the greatest given directly to Lux Notera.

Over eighty percent of his body of work is about the women he has been with. He idolizes Prince Raeth's unconfirmed love for Tharyn'Breka Kael and how it was shown without ever being made the point. He cannot replicate this restraint.

He is the only person known to have entered a Destroyer-Class mountain clearing and left alive. The clearing belonged to a female Destroyer living with two Scout-Class males. He ignored her size and did what he always does. She resisted but found him interesting enough to answer his questions and let him leave with a full interview. On the way out an ice bear found him. The two Scouts had been tracking him for miles and found the ordeal humorous enough to intervene. His observation: even approaching a Destroyer you feel heat radiating off of them, the look in her eyes was absolute disinterest, the opposite of the typical Assault-Class who seems interested in everything. Her hair had to be at least thirteen feet.
