History:
Charis-Nar was born on the planet Changralyn, a world with immense and powerful beings who long ago had dedicated their lives to peace as prescribed by their ancient scriptures. Though Changralyn's doctrines left no room for argument, Charis-Nar found himself questioning these teachings and was thus ridiculed by his peers.

In time, Charis-Nar married his soul mate, Kattayan-Besh, a woman branded with the same markings as he. Together, the two tried living under the strict rules of Changralyn.

The evil Citadel controlled Changralyn and used the powerful populace as forced labor, but no matter how terrible their plight, the people of Changralyn refused to rebel for fear of spiritual retribution.

The Citadel sent Gordanian slavers to remove the children of Changralyn and bring them to an outpost mining colony where they would work until they died. Not even the abduction of their young could force a change in the ways of those of Changralyn.

But against all the scriptures, Charis-Nar refused to let his son be taken by the Gordanian slavers. As Charis-Nar struggled against the slavers, a Gordanian murdered his child. In a rage never before seen amongst his race, Charis-Nar slew the Gordanian. This action caused the Citadel to order an atomic reprisal.

Charis-Nar was rejected by his people and exiled.

Eventually, Charis-Nar was sent to the Citadel prison planet, where he eventually joined the Omega Men in their successful escape.

Later, searching for his wife, the newly named Broot found she was teaching Changralyn's sacred scriptures in the depths of the Citadel mines. Realizing they could no longer be husband and wife, Broot left Kattayan-Besh behind in her peaceful existence and rejoined the Omega Men to free the Vegan star-system from Citadel tyranny.

Powers:
Broot's immense size gives him extraordinary strength. Unlike the rest of his race, he is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, though he prefers to use force solely as a last resort.
