Kharoc Garrlan is a former [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Imperial]] [[starwars:Storm Commando|storm commando]], now serving as part of the ground forces of the [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]].

== Character History ==
Born on [[starwars:Corulag|Corulag]] and trained at the [[starwars:Imperial Academy|Imperial Academy]], Kharoc Garrlan served as an [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Imperial]] [[starwars:Storm Commando|storm commando]] for nearly a decade and achieved the rank of [[starwars:Captain|Captain]] before being abruptly separated from that service. When exploring his options for becoming a mercenary, Garrlan was contacted and interviewed by an [[Arcona Expeditionary Force]] recruiter before being commissioned at his former Imperial rank in the AEF's ground forces.

== Physical Description ==
Kharoc Garrlan looks like he just stepped out of a recruiting poster. His face is far more weathered than one might expect from someone who wears a full helmet most of the time, tanned with a scar along his left cheekbone underneath blue eyes. His dark brown hair is cut quite short, only a few centimeters in length on top and getting progressively shorter down the sides.

When out of combat, he normally wears a loose utility uniform, very similar to a pilot's jumpsuit. In-combat or expecting combat, he will never be without the trademark black armor of a special forces trooper.

Kant Lavar is an interesting puzzle - not only is he a member of the [[Obelisk]] Order, he is also a former member of the old Bounty Hunter's Guild. Additionally, despite the fact that he is one of the newest apprentices in [[House Qel-Droma]], he is not inexperienced in the ways of the [[Starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]] of [[starwars:The Force|the Force]] - years ago, he was a fully-fledged [[Dark Jedi Knight]] in the service of the old [[Emperor's Hammer]] and a member of their [[Krath]] [[House Gladius]] of [[Clan Tarentum]]. While some would consider the skill sets of a [[Dark Jedi Knight]] and a former bounty hunter impossible to reconcile, Lavar has instead been able to turn both sets of skills to complement the other.

==Character History==
===The Bounty Hunter's Guild and the Emperor's Hammer===
Kant Lavar's career (or careers, depending on how one looked at it) started in the Lyarna System as a member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild. His early years as a bounty hunter were unremarkable to the outside observer, but as time went on and he started completing more and more dangerous hunts, culminating with a successful one-man assault on a planet-based Rebel starfighter facility, assassinating one of the Rebellion's more prominent pilots and destroying a majority of the starfighters there, he came to the attention of the old [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]].

===The Dark Brotherhood===
Lavar was tested and accepted into the Order of the [[Krath]] as a member of [[House Marka Ragnos]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. During his tenure there, he served as House [[Rollmaster]] and later was even selected by the [[Consul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] to be the first Lord Primus of the Clan's multi-order elite battleteam known as the Black Guard. (This was before the Black Guard came to be in its [[Black Guard|current incarnation]].) Lavar ascended the ranks to [[Dark Jedi Knight]] and there he would remain for that portion of his career. He attempted to take an apprentice several times, but each time the apprentice failed to remain in the order. After a year or so of service, both to the Clan and to the Guild, Lavar received a tip in regards to his parents' killer and took an extended leave of absence from the Guild and the Brotherhood to hunt him down.

===Return to Corellia and the Schism===
Lavar's parents had both been agents of the [[starwars:Corellian Security Force|Corellian Security Force]]. When Lavar was 17, his parents were killed in the line of duty while in space, and their deaths set Lavar's course for the rest of his life. He traded and sold much of his inheritance to buy his own R-41 Starchaser, and went off to try and avenge his parents' murders. However, his chase ended when he tried to attack the criminal's Corellian Corvette, and only the intervention of a pair of [[starwars:Corellian Security Force|CorSec]] X-wings kept him from being blown out of the sky. Lavar left the [[starwars:Corellian system|Corellian system]] after that, until he happened to jump into the [[starwars:Minos Cluster|Minos Cluster]] and heard about the Bounty Hunter's Guild.

He had, however, maintained contacts in the Corellian system and [[starwars:Corellian Security Force|CorSec]] and, years later, one of them informed him that the criminal who had killed his parents had returned to the Corellian system. Lavar took immediate leaves of absence from both the Bounty Hunter's Guild and the Brotherhood to return to the Corellian system himself and eliminate the criminal. Lavar has never been forthcoming with the details of what had happened, but when he returned to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], he found himself in the middle of the [[Exodus|schism]] between the Brotherhood and the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. Lavar absented himself from the battlefield, and for a lack of information, found himself enrolled with the schismatic [[Krath]] loyal to the [[Emperor's Hammer]] and a member of their [[House Gladius]], in [[Clan Tarentum]]. Lavar continued his career there for a while, as well as returning to the Bounty Hunter's Guild, until he went on a mission to Dathomir.

[[Image:Lavar-field.PNG|thumb|left| Then-DJK Kant Lavar in field gear, circa 20 ABY.]]
===Dathomir===
Lavar was dispatched by the [[Emperor's Hammer]] Brotherhood to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]]. Rumors had said that the Dathomiri witches there had uncovered a storehouse of equipment left behind by the Empire, and left untouched by [[starwars:Warlord Zinj|Warlord Zinj]] during his campaign against the New Republic. Lavar was instructed to find the cache, determine if there was anything of value left, and either retrieve it or ensure that no others could use it. Lavar accomplished his mission, but at a price - in a protracted battle with the [[starwars:Witches of Dathomir|Dathomiri witches]], both those using the Light Side and, once Lavar was inside the storehouse, the [[Starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]] wielding [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsisters]], Lavar's Force abilities were sealed off somehow. The most knowledgable members of the Brotherhood could not explain it, nor could they break or coach Lavar to touch the Force, and so he left the order entirely - leaving behind that portion of his life and throwing himself into his work as a bounty hunter.

Even then, Lavar faced difficulties. The Guild had openly split from the remnants of the Empire, returning to its roots as a mercenary organization. This lead to difficulties, as the loss of Imperial contracts made themselves felt, and the Republic was wary of the organization as a matter of principle. Members fell away, recruiting stopped, and, slowly, the Guild began to shrink and die. At the end, Lavar sold his ship and most of his equipment, took his life's earnings, and retired to a private house on Corellia.

===Return to the Brotherhood===
Lavar remained in isolation on [[starwars:Corellia|Corellia]] for five years. After the first year, he began to focus away from simply relaxing to a goal he had been pursuing off and on for a couple of years - he wanted to rejoin the Brotherhood. The true Brotherhood, not the castoffs left by the dying Imperial Remnant. Lavar spent the next four years performing exercises he had not done since he had been an apprentice himself, and when [[starwars:Destruction of Sernpidal|Sernpidal was destroyed]], the backlash through the Force shattered whatever seal had been on Lavar's mind, and he felt the Force flowing in him again. Unfortunately, after buying and modifying an [[Nightshrike|E-wing]] and finding the Brotherhood at [[Antei System|Antei]], testing showed that Lavar's powers had atrophied to the level of the rawest novice. And so Lavar began again, joining the Order of the [[Obelisk]] and [[House Qel-Droma]] of [[Clan Arcona]] as an apprentice.

== Trivia ==
Kant Lavar is the continuation of a character who was a part of the Bounty Hunter's Guild under the [[Emperor's Hammer]], and later had a dual membership with that character in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. The character's owner, coming back from a leave of absence, discovered the Dark Brotherhood in the midst of the Exodus from the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. The owner, without any idea of what was taking place, ended up remaining with the [[Emperor's Hammer]], in order to continue with the Bounty Hunter's Guild - which would, ironically, leave the [[Emperor's Hammer]] itself about a year later.
