Dallas Dalton (RBU)

Dallas Dalton is the mysterious and enigmatic leader of the Diamond Dogs, and heir to the Dalton estate.

Appearance
Dalton is tall and slender, which belies his physical strength. He has relatively pale skin, as his blonde perm is his natural colour, and piercing green eyes, when they are not shrouded by gold-framed Aviator sunglasses. Dalton wears a variety of well tailored suits over strikingly patterned shirts, but it never seen without a long black mac, which he wears draped over his shoulders as a cloak. He wears high combat boots when in the field, and low moccasins when off duty.

Personality
Dalton is a humorous and charismatic individual, possessing incredible tactical knowledge and military expertise. His outward demeanour is that of total self mastery, and coupled with his charming and strikingly odd good looks, makes him a dangerous figure in the underworld. He is a strong leader, able to keep far more hot-headed subordinates under control, such as Gareth Holbach. He is generally 'flinty' toward his men, with a cold façade that masks his passion and determination. His charismatic and dominant personality is often underestimated because of his quiet tone, but if needs be Dalton can exercise complete control in a conversation.

Early Life
Dalton's past is shrouded in mystery. He was born in 34BR, to a Dutch mother and American father. His father died a short time later serving in the US Armed Forces, and His mother committed suicide a year later in 20BR. At the age of 14, with no parents and only his father's legacy and estate, consisting of a mansion and a ex-navy starship, Dallas joined the US cadets. At the age of 18 he had been recruited into Operation Dark Winter for 'outstanding ability and promise'. His operations during this time are closely guarded. Sometime around 4BR he left the military for reasons unknown, and has since been labelled 'rogue and dangerous' by numerous authorities throughout the galaxy.

Sefer Yetzirah
Sefer and Dallas first met after an unsuccessful conference between Sefer and Edward Allman; Dallas had snuck into the compound to ensure the negotiations went as smoothly as possible, and to make sure Sefer didn't "fuck up [the] meeting". Dallas claimed not to be Sefer's "biggest fan" but implied that he preferred her to Allman; Sefer suggested she found Dallas "intriguing", primarily due to her inability to fully read his mind. The two quickly understood they shared similar goals, even if their ideals differed; Sefer left Dallas a hairpin which would supposedly grant him access to Shangri-La if he required her assistance. Sefer promised that if Dallas was capable of starting a war between Ascheron Kingdom Demesnes and the Tanari Confederation, he would have earned himself a very valuable ally.

Despite the obvious tension between the two - one of whom is a warmongering idealist, the other being a pacifistic realistic - the two have a lighthearted, almost flirtatious rapport. In addition, though they have only met once, Sefer has already developed a nickname for Dallas; "Space Oddity".
