Dealiticus

Profile
"There is no purer goal than the accumulation of profit."

DEALITICUS is the quintessential tradesman. He is adept at selling nearly anything to anyone, and his specialty is weapons. He reinvests the capital he earns into developing newer, more powerful weapons, and then grows rich selling upgrades. He's more of a talker than a fighter, but anyone trying to take advantage of him will find out he knows how to use weapons as well as build them. He is often found carrying heavy ordinance -- not for defense, but to sell to the many warlike races populating the galaxy. He is adept at escalating wars, just so he can profit. To help him with his dealings, Dealiticus has feigning emotions and sincerity down to an art form. He leads a pack of specialized, high-tech Sharkticons, and a small crew of assorted crewmen and pirates.

History
Dealiticus was originally a trader and spy who operated out of Monacus. He eventually emigrated to New Vilnacron, rising in ranks to eventually became their minister of commerce. At first he infiltrated the group as a spy, but as he developed relationships with fellow residents of New Vilnacron, he began to experience the first vestiges of actual emotion for the first time. He began to doubt his true secret loyalty to the Quintesson Empire, and befriended several Transformers, training Earthscorch in Decepticon repair and assisting the Autobots and Junkions during the rise of Primatives, building Longsight a Sharticon disguise so he could spy on Sky Lynx after the Autobot took over New Vilnacron.

When New Vilnacron was destroyed, Dealiticus opened a new shop on Monacus, but what passed for his heart was no longer in it. Disillusioned and unsure of his place in the universe, he left the quadrant, never to return.

Players
Dealiticus was played by his creator Bzero from around 1997 to 2000.
