That *other* Saiyan

Son of Bardock, clearing squad captain and Vegeta-sei's lone defender.
Brother to Kakkarot, third class weakling that was the first to attain Super-Saiyajin status in 1,000 years.
Uncle to Son Gohan, scholarly hybrid that discovered SSJ2 and defeated the worst menace Earth had ever seen.

By comming to retrieve his little brother that had long been suspected dead, he opened the way for a series of events that would forever change the world of Dragonball. Very loyal to his job, following orders to the very end. He was to recover Kakkarot. His was one of the three thought to be the last Saiyajin in existance. He and Nappa were the Prince's guards through the 25 horrible years they spent under Freeza's service. That one mission changed it all. The thought of seeing his long lost little brother, having another fellow Saiyajin to stand with them, a new (but fairly dismal) chance that the species would survive...
All of these had him in high spirits, making him forget their predicament. He was acting like a butt-headed 17 year old again when he found him. One main objective: recover Kakkarot. Did that mean forcing him if he must? Who cared, it was good to hace his brother back. What does it matter what he thinks, he's comming back one way or another.
Like his father he underestimated the potential of a child, and for that he paid. Death at the hands of a Namek, assisted by his own brother. A brother that was to bring new hope to the remainders of his race. A brother that had betrayed him and lay dying at the same moment, only feet away on the blood-stained grass...
