Scorpius is a fictional character in the television science fiction series Farscape.
Played by Wayne Pygram, he is the half-Sebacean, half-Scarran Peacekeeper who pursues John Crichton for the secrets of wormhole technology locked in John Crichton`s unconscious mind to create a wormhole weapon. He is the product of an experiment by the Scarrans - his Sebacean mother was raped by a Scarran in order to see if there would be any benefit to a hybrid. Raised by Scarrans, he has come to hate them, to reject his Scarran side, and to live for revenge against them. Scorpius` body is shaped more like a Sebacean/humanoid than a Scarran, though he has grey, lizard-like skin that is closer to the Scarran than Sebacean form. He is much stronger than a Sebacean, but is rarely physically violent. Because he is a hybrid he also has a sort of split personality, because of his intense mind training he is able to control these personalities. He prefers the Sebacean personality as it is less violent, rejecting the Scarran side of himself. However if he loses control the Scarran side can take over, and he becomes more violent ("Bone to Be Wild" ). His unique heritage gives him the ability to see light/heat spectra, enabling him to distinguish a subject`s species through each species` unique energy signature, as well as tell when someone is lying. Scorpius has a highly-trained mind, enabling him to resist torture and the Scarran heat-based mind probes.
Since he is a Sebacean/Scarran hybrid, he suffers from the Sebacean inability to tolerate extreme heat as well as the higher body temperatures caused by his Scarran heritage. This makes for an unhealthy combination, one that Scorpius compensates for through the use of sophisticated equipment built into his heat dissipating suit. This includes coolant rods embedded inside his brain, which must be replaced periodically as they heat up according to Scorpius` energy expenditure. They may overheat quickly if he overexerts himself for too long a time. If Scorpius` body temperature rises too high, the coolant rod will be automatically ejected from his skull for replacement. Another one of Scorpius` unique attributes is that exposure to radioactivity makes him stronger ("Natural Election"). He prides himself on his patience and his intellect. Scorpius is willing to do absolutely anything to achieve his goals, which he is very honest about when it suits him. He will (and does over the course of the series) lie, kill in cold blood, order the deaths of multitudes, torture innocents, and sacrifice those close to him in order to get what he wants. He is also willing to aid his enemies or humiliate himself if it will further his goals. He has returned from supposedly fatal situations more than once, which he credits to his "foresight and preparation." He manipulates others to do his work but does much on his own; his obsession with Crichton and his wormhole secrets is proof of that. He is highly educated, very intelligent, and extremely clever. Only he knows how deep his schemes run and, while he claims his main desire is to eliminate the Scarran threat, protagonist John Crichton is loathe to ever trust him.
His rank is never mentioned, and it is assumed that he does not officially hold one. Wayne Pygram seemed to confirm this during an interview on the Farscape DVD set, and Dominar Rygel XVI once claimed that he was "higher even than a captain" ("I-Yensch, You-Yensch"). His authority is not absolute, however, as Commandant Mele-On Grayza informed him when she superseded it. He does have the authority to command a research base, a command carrier, and even a fleet of command carriers. Since he has commanded a fleet of craft, he may hold the equivalent authority of a low ranking admiral or Fleet Captain (similar to that held by Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation on several occasions), allowing him special privileges in command situations. During Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, Scorpius was seen commanding much larger fleets, so his rank would most likely be equivalent to vice admiral or full admiral at this time. Official Peacekeeper ranks at this level have never been established, so the specifics are conjectural.
To tak na dzień dobry :]
