Standing to the taller spectrum of the average Wookie height Tarryyhn sometimes appears too big to do much of anything. Broad in the shoulders, muscles hidden by fur he is a trained warrior and survivor of hundreds of conflicts. A white stripe marks his almost perfectly black fur and only one of his eyes meets the gaze of whoever looks his way.
In no way subtle he's crafted himself into an image to be feared, his frontal mane braided and held in place by ancient wroshyr tree ornaments. His fur is slightly discoloured from years of abuse and scars litter his body but only the slight fur colouration gives away that anything is amiss.
What eye remains is yellowed with the red beginning to cascade out from the middle, a thin scar rests on the end of his nose and that's about all one will see. He prefers wearing robes for the sole purpose of bulking his already large form out. A war mask hides his features the majority of the time, whilst a hood pulled up obscures himself from the many watching eyes. Not in truth that it matters, Wookies are very hard to conceal at the best of times.

Tarryyhn has lived for longer than he wishes to remember.He has participated in numerous conflicts over the years within the Jedi order as well as the Brotherhood and has come to terms with how wars are fought and how death plays a part in everything. Due this lifestyle he has become a trained veteran of countless conflicts but he has also become jaded to how the galaxy works.
He is thus less likely to take the easy path and will not hesitate to be the first into a fray or charge his men in head first. While an effective leader through fear this also comes at a cost, what happens when his men begin fearing the enemy more than him?
Tarryyhn is a Mad Claw, which in Wookiee culture means he is exiled from Kashyyyk and is stripped of his honor. Undeterred, he moves on with his life and digs deeper into the pathways of the Force and what it can do for him. It also means that he will use his claws for more than just crafting and not have any concerns about losing face in front of others.
Issues do arise, however, if he should come across another Wookiee should they discover who and what he is. For this reason, he cloaks himself and hides his face, only truly revealing himself to those he trusts.
Tarryyhn still clings onto his own code of honour, even though he has fallen down the path of darkness. He will not kill those weaker than him in combat, believing only the strong need ascend to their idea of an afterlife. He will not needlessly slaughter innocents without a valid reason and Tarryyhn refuses to break his loyalty to his superior officers or masters.
He is more than capable of carrying out acts of malice and hate, and going as far as dismembering someone completely, but breaking his own code haunts him. Tarryyhn remembers each time he has done so, and he uses it to fuel his hatred and anger.
Wookiees are renowned for their quick temper and acts of volatile rage, but Tarryyhn takes this one step further and actively pursues it. To him, it is a rush, a release of endorphins that fuel him and his actions. Of course, he has quieter times, but these are short and few between. Combined with his stature he gives off an air of malice, something not to be trifled with, and he will use this whenever he can to get what he wants.
This causes issues in that he becomes less and less approachable as his methods become more aggressive and his anger rises.
Tarryyhn shows no mercy in his strikes. He is strong and he will do everything he can to overpower his enemy and crush them beneath his feet. He can become a whirling vortex of death, an unstoppable force that will not concede or move aside for anyone or anything. Mauling with his fists, ripping limbs from bodies, crushing bones and beheading with his twin sabers are all part of his fighting style. He wants people to fear him; to balk against his monstrous nature.
Whilst this gives him an edge it also means he's less likely to be able to stop his actions or maintain relationships due to his methods, after all if he kills everything who's going to trust him?
Tarryyhn refuses to surrender to anyone. If he is beaten, he expects death, not pity. He will fight with tooth and claw if he is disarmed and will rend and tear anyone foolish enough to show even a hint of mercy. Weakness is intolerable to him, self-weakness more so. To win against him means taking his life and he will greet his end willingly. Those too weak to kill him mean nothing to him and he will pound them into submission regardless of who they are.
This has its drawbacks in that Tarryyhn can be reckless in his abandonment and will willingly slip into a Rage filled state if it means total victory.
