Expanded Universe -

To the protocol-bound Sarkans, Melas was always a troublemaker. He was born short for a Sarkan, and his unusual blue eyes and stubby claws invited unwanted attention. It was not his physical deformities that caused his exile, though. The Sarkans have long had a codified custom of despising offworlders and non-Sarkans. Melas' gregarious and social ways were an outrage.

Before his exile, Melas managed to abscond with a considerable fortune in smuggled metals and gems. Melas has used his riches to travel from world to world, seeing different sights and meeting all sorts of interesting beings. He misses home on occasion, but his insatiable curiosity for what's out there easily eclipses his bouts of melancholy.
