Xio

Xio (The Alone) is a Ship leader in Master of Orion.

Background
Xio was the sole survivor of a deep space scouting mission gone horribly wrong. When found many years later, he had lost his connection to the Hive and gained bizarre physical gifts during his long period of isolation. He gained the ability to go into a self-imposed deep sleep which slows down his aging and metabolic rate, allowing him to survive on the limited resources for many years.
