Kallark (Earth-658)

Kallark is the leader of the Shi'Ar, and one of the empire's most powerful warriors.

Pre-Military
In his early years, Kallark was raised on a farm on Strontia by his parents. He learnt all about his race's history and traditions, and became a man of honour and culture. Years of lugging heavy farm equipment led to him become strong as well. So when Strontia became part of the Shi'Ar Empire, he decided to fight back. Along with a number of other protestors, he stormed the capital building on Strontia to confront the Shi'Ar Majestrix Lilandra. Their plans ceased when Lilandra explained the Shi'Ar were only going to provide protection, and the culture of Strontia would be preserved.

Kallark became curious about Shi'Ar tradition, and learnt about their culture, which he found amusing. He befriended Lilandra, who taught him all about her species' history, and he accepted the Shi'Ar as part of his own culture.

Cadet
When the opportunity arose, Kallark joined the Shi'Ar army, which at the time was working to protect the solar system from becoming a battle zone for the Kree and Skrulls.

Trivia

 * Kallark will become a mentor figure to Thane, who looks up to him and sees him as similar to himself, because of the pointed ears and purple skin.
