Doctor Ya'Telis is a neutral-aligned character and a 'space pirate'; a hybrid of different alien species (sentient and not) and robotics designed to be low-cost, easily replaceable, and highly effective in his assigned task- lab assistant, in his case.
Origins
Doctor Ya'Telis was created in a den of space pirates outside Sol's range, by a particularly large and powerful faction that preyed on passing Malvan merchants. These pirates achieved this strenght due to the fact that their higher echelons were Malvans themselves- Bored, jaded Malvans that turned to hunting their own for sport. Without access to Malvan robotics to wage their battles, and their influx of members of inferior species being limited, they turned to the next best thing- creating their own slaves.
Strains
Ya'Telis, and all of his batch, were made to be lab folk- a task they were perfectly suited for due to their increased intelligence and being easily subdued without their limb enhancers. But scientists were hardly the only thing the Pirates created.
Telis's 'strain' of creature was informally labeled 'techies', and they served along others; soldiers, assassins, scouts, entertainers, manual labor... Each made out of mixed DNA of different alien creatures, there is no real name for the 'species' they created as each strain of servant was too different from the others, with more changes added every new batch. And it wasn't like there would be any left when they were done. They were made to be robot substitutes, for a group that valued quantity over quality and efficiency over everything else. The many servant creatures were easily replaceable, vicious and hideous, but excellent at their assigned tasks. Any rebellious thoughts (due to organic brains instead of computers) were quickly squashed through fear and making examples, and unlike robots, particularly good specimens could simply be bred and bred for an even more optimized new generation.
They were a good substitute, if you are sociopathic and don't mind being cruel to sentient beings.
Pirate Life
Telis, as part of a strain more sheltered from danger and less likely to be replaced, had a relatively good life as a servant. His job was mostly engineering and maintenance, occasionally designing more strains and improving upon the existing when needed. It wasn't devoid of close calls, but considerably less than could have been. He was a good, submissive servant, and the idea of rebellion was far from his mind.
That's where Ya'Telis spent most of his life, engineering weapons, creating other strains of cannon fodder, commanded by angry Dorvalan pirates and bored Malvan captains.
Crack Down
That is, until the Star*Guard found out the den and cracked down on it. It was a lenghty battle and cleanup, with most of the Malvan leaders being captured and either imprisoned or sent to their Homeworld for judgement. The same could be said of most of the members of the other races, with some of those that did not stand down dead.
Most of the servant creatures were lost in the battle. They had fought the Guard with aim to kill, and there was no indication the creatures would've been more than particularly fleshy robots. What was captured alive was restrained and shipped to be studied or used as evidence of the pirates's crimes. Investigators examined the den, looking for trails as to where escaped pods had been sent to to try to find the rest of the escaped upper hyerarchy.
Among them, one stray pod led to Pluto.
Current Events
When the Star*Guard reached the location, they found the crashed pod and the comatose pilot... who happened to be one of the monstrous alien hybrids. They surrounded the creature, but rather than fight, it bowed down and surrendered, pleading for mercy in Malvan. It introduced itself as Ya'Telis, and said he just wanted to be left alone. After the Guard stood down and interrogated him, several things were learned. One, the crimes of the Pirates were more than they thought. Two, the creatures they had destroyed were sentient beings, though aggresive and animalistic. Three, the Pirate leaders had tried to conceal their crimes by killing every single one of their slave creations that held sensitive information, including the scientists. Ya'Telis was possibly the last one left.
After having him testify, they nursed him back to health and decided to honor his request, with an offer to take him somewhere where he could be free and have a fair chance to live. He accepted warily.
They took him to Earth.
Although the last remaining member of the den, Telis doesn't begrudge the Guard, as back there he was doomed. But being 'escaped' also gave him the freedom to express his discontent... and realizing he no longer needs to serve anybody, he is 'quite happy' to revel in his independence. He is left more or less alone, as despite his origins and nature, he is also a very competent doctor for Meta-Humans.
