Balor build advices

Hello,

I'm in a ll2 - ll6 campaign and my group is made up of Raleigh, Lancaster, Mourning Cloak, Saladin and I the Balor.

Currently in ll2 I have the talents duelist 3, brawler 1 and executionner 1.

For rp reasons 3 future talents will be technophile.

we only have access to the basic rules book.

I wonder what to take next being close to saladin with my speed 3 and my hand-to-hand approach.

tortuga looks interesting for hyper dense armor but blackbeard has a lot of good systems.

oh for my mech skill it's hull 3/6 engineering 1/6
