He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to their deaths. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who knew of the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favoured hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the Sith Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed many years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain. <br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt, or hidden inside a pocket within his right sleeve when the need for subterfuge is required. He will also carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times as well as a knife for when a job requires stealth rather than a frontal assault. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn was the Apprentice of Robin Hawk.<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable.<br /> * Due to his Rodian genetics, Koryn is very aggressive in battle. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Scholae Palatinae members]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who knew of the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the SIth Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who knew of the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the SIth Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He is a user of the [[starwars: Dark side of the Force|Dark side of the Force]] and a member of the Order of the [[Sith]] at the rank of [[Guardian]]. He was born in 17 ABY. He is a [[starwars:Human|Human]] male of approximately 1.8 meters and weighs 72 kilograms. Lucyeth is a strategist and always enjoys the glory of victory. He has an introverted personality and has always had trouble with socializing; he would always rather work alone in solitude rather than interacting with others.<br /> <br /> == Character History ==<br /> ===Early Life(17 ABY-Present) ===<br /> {{Quote|Destiny doesn't compose who you are, you are what you make of your destiny and when you compose your own destiny, the achievements are fruitful.|Lucyeth's feeling towards life based on his past experiences}}<br /> <br /> ====Childhood====<br /> <br /> [[File:Fondor.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Lucyeth's home planet of Fondor]] '''Lucyeth''' was born on [[starwars:Fondor|Fondor]] in a wealthy family and raised well in luxury. His father was a manager of a large shipyard while his mother was an administrator at a school. He is the oldest sibling with a younger brother and a younger sister. Lucyeth was enrolled in the same school as his mother who was the Superintendent. Lucyeth strives in academics and was in the top percent of the class. He was also very athletic, playing in sports. He was not very competitive but, always did the best he could making an attempt. he was introduced to traditional blasters when his father would take him out on hunting expeditions. Lucyeth is very adaptable to his surroundings by using his natural intuitive skills to do what he believes would be best for the situation. he is always ready to learn something new and is never afraid to accept a challenge.<br /> <br /> ====The Beginning Down the Dark Path====<br /> <br /> As successful he was, '''Lucyeth''' had issues with social skills and was bullied a lot by his peers. His path down the dark side began when he snapped back at a bully and killed him with a cooking utensil. His mother tried to stop him but, '''Lucyeth''' went further down a dark path killing his mother and students that wronged him. He knew the rest of his family would find out, so he went home to kill them. He covered up evidence by destroying the house and closing all finances and other assets. He went on the run and slipped on a large freighter where he ended up on the planet of [[Judecca]]. He began a life of survival, surviving off the land and becoming fond of the outdoors. [[File:Lucyeth's childhood.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Lucyeth's home years after the murder]]<br /> <br /> ===A Fresh Start (27 ABY-36 ABY)===<br /> <br /> ====Life on Judecca====<br /> <br /> [[File:Hut.png|thumb|left|150px|Lucyeth's hut on the plains of Judecca]] '''Lucyeth''' began living in an uncivilized area on the outskirts of Lyon. He made a hut out of leaves and sticks from the surrounding area. He would live in this hut for the next five years, scavenging food from the surrounding wilderness. He would bulk up his natural shape through the long hiking for plant materials and hauling meat back to the hut. After three years of life in isolation, He began to visit the nearby city of Lyon to scavenge for interesting objects in dumpsters. His life improved when he got a job as a sanitation worker within the city. He would commute to the city from his hut with people yet unaware of his standard of living. He would become friends with his sanitation partner named '''Jorge''' who drove the truck.<br /> <br /> ====Black Market====<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' was offered a job by '''Jorge''' in a local cartel operating a black market. The pay was very generous and he was given weapons, his primary would be a DH-17 blaster pistol. They both ran simple runs of credits and weapons. After a few successful jobs, they were tasked with more high priority jobs like running expensive weaponry and minerals. The most important job came when they were to complete a job to obtain a rare spice. This job would be unsuccessful when they lost their window of opportunity. The job required a lot of slicing and evading securities that consumed too much time. The loss of the spice made the cartel king very angry as he lost out on a big profit. The next run would be for thermal detonators, although '''Jorge''' never appeared at the rendezvous point.<br /> <br /> ====Hunt for a Friend====<br /> <br /> After his partner was a no show, Lucyeth went to the drop point to speak with the cartel branch leader about the loss of Jorge. The branch leader explained that Jorge &quot;is of no use and is no longer with us&quot;. This angered Lucyeth as he demanded where his friend is and was getting no answers. He took one of the thermal detonators and shoved in in the branch leader's mouth, breaking teeth in the process. <br /> <br /> ====Take down of the Black Market====<br /> <br /> [[File:Cartel stronghold.png|thumb|right|150px|The stronghold of the Black Market on Judecca]] '''Lucyeth''' went to the safe house of the cartel king to do whatever means were necessary to get his friend. he battled his way through the atrium of the compound, taking down enemies with ease using his blaster. He lost his E-11 blaster rifle that he was using as he moved up the stairs. He engaged in hand to hand combat with the personal bodyguard of the king. He won in the short battle gaining the upper hand and pulling out his pistol to shoot the bodyguard in the face without hesitation. <br /> <br /> ====Discovery of the Force====<br /> <br /> [[File:Blastech dl 22 blaster pistol.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Lucyeth's blaster from Jorge]] '''Lucyeth''' entered the personal office of the cartel king to find his friend being held hostage by the king. He attempted to fire his pistol but, was not fast enough as it was shot out of his hand. With a gun pointed at him and being taunted with nothing to do, Lucyeth would boil up emotions. As the taunting continued, his fear about what he should do was building up anger within himself. As his emotion began to overwhelm him, Lucyeth has now felt more anger than he has ever felt in his life. His anger was out of control and pent up rage that caused him to yell in an instant that caused a mysterious tremor in the room. The cartel king was knocked to the ground, which gave '''Jorge''' the opportunity to kick him in the gut and shoot him dead. With the room mangled from the strange force that occurred, neither of them were able to explain what had happened. Jorge moved to the city of Tailyon and got a job in one of the ports, while Lucyeth continued to work for the sanitation department of the city of Lyon. Lucyeth eventually earned enough credits to purchase an apartment in the city, leaving behind his hut as history of his past. Jorge gave Lucyeth the blaster pistol of the cartel king because he felt it was rightfully earned. The pistol was a DL-22 blaster pistol which would become part of his arsenal as a concealed weapon in an ankle holster. he kept his skills finely tuned as he could never be too sure when the skills would be needed again in the future. He would still be unable to explain what had happened at the black market compound, but he would get his answer in due time, as he would be hidden for a short time.<br /> <br /> ====Unofficial Induction====<br /> <br /> [[File:Agent wolf.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Agent Wolfe]] A few months after the Black Market Incident, '''Lucyeth''' continued working for the sanitation department. He witnessed a terror plot during a trash pickup which caused an unwanted attention towards him. Lucyeth was brought in for questioning by the local security forces and told them everything he saw that would aid them in cracking the case. He was abducted the next day at work and woke up in a strange room with a woman staring down at him. The woman revealed that she works for a secret organization that thwarts plots before they happen. He was left with no details of herself except that she goes by the name of Agent Wolfe. Wolfe stated that '''Jorge''' worked for her and that she knew what kind of power Lucyeth wields but, can only help him if he helps her. Together, they went to a warehouse of the manufacturing district of the city where a criminal syndicate was holding a meeting. They engaged the criminals within the warehouse in a battle that seemed like the two were outnumbered. After a long and grueling battle, the combined skills of Agent Wolfe and Lucyeth proved to be victorious. The leader of the meeting escaped with a peculiar device that contained a toxic agent that kills in water but, harmless when exposed to the air. A tracking beacon was placed on his speeder by Wolfe before the two entered the warehouse. The following day, Wolfe and Lucyeth followed the tracking beacon to the corporate sector of the city where the speeder was left as a dead end. With the criminal on to them, Wolfe and Lucyeth were forced to think critically about where he could of used this device for an evil gain. The senate building was searched initially but, it was dicovered that the mastermind would target a building that was under the public water utilities. The team rushed to the bank to attempt to prevent the success of the criminal and a battle commenced. The battle was a victory but ultimately, a lost as it was simply a diversion because a large sum of credits and weapons were already taken from the vaults. although it was a failure, Lucyeth wanted to know his powers and Wolfe revealed that she was a recruiter for the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. She further explained that the final test for Lucyeth to be considered into the academy was to finish the job and catch the criminal.<br /> <br /> ===Life in the Dark Brotherhood ( 37 ABY-Present)===<br /> <br /> {{quote| Opportunities can last a lifetime when you make the effort to go for them.| Lucyeth's sense of determination towards personal goals}}<br /> <br /> ====Road Towards Dark Jedi====<br /> <br /> [[File:Csp-logo.png|thumb|left|150px|Crest of Scholae Palatinae]] '''Lucyeth''' was brought into the brotherhood by a recruiter based on his past experience.

He wandered around the dense planet until he got into a confrontation with carnivorous plants which he killed in battle. He also met a strange creature that wields the power of the force. this creature was not logged in any archives of species so he just called it a beast for the time being. he engaged in combat with this creature but was bested by the creature's superiority of the force. He befriended the beast as his companion and it helped '''Lucyeth''' locate the sith artifact for the house. The artifact was obtained but, created a domino effect as a mass of carnivorous creatures converged on them. The two battled the plants all the way back to the ship where '''Lucyeth''' decided to bring his new companion back with him being it helped him get off the planet alive.

'''Lucyeth''' did his part of the mission by covering the entrance of the temple while the others went inside. After a blast from inside the temple, '''Lucyeth''' began attacking an army of mysterious composition and an unclear motive. The army kept coming closer to him as if they are merely appearing out of the ground. When everyone regrouped outside the temple, the tide of the battle turned as the three of them altogether made a fight back to the ship. Everyone came back unscathed along with the knowledge and materials that we came to retrieve.<br /> <br /> ===Looking Home Campaign( 37 ABY)===<br /> <br /> ====Spiritual Trip to Ptolomea-Sensing Surroundings====<br /> <br /> [[File:Cave of Marynos.png|thumb|right|150px|The cave of Marynos for the spiritual journey of Lucyeth]] '''Lucyeth''' took a trip to Ptolomea where he strengthened his spiritual side of the force. He visited one of the various caves on the island of Marynos. He felt his five senses adapt to the unique surroundings as he went deeper into the cave.

Lucyeth got to the vault through a window of the bank and sliced into the security network of the bank. The vault not only contained credits , but a variety of precious rare metals as well as advanced weaponry. Lucyeth laoded a hover cart full of credits and weapons and fought his way out of the bank. He used a claoking device from the vault to get back to his ship unscathed from the addtional authorities that were converging on the bank.

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who knew of the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the SIth Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He is a user of the [[starwars: Dark side of the Force|Dark side of the Force]] and a member of the Order of the [[Sith]] at the rank of [[Protector]]. He was born in 17 ABY. He is a [[starwars:Human|Human]] male of approximately 1.8 meters and weighs 72 kilograms. Lucyeth is a strategist and always enjoys the glory of victory. He has an introverted personality and has always had trouble with socializing; he would always rather work alone in solitude rather than interacting with others.<br /> <br /> ==History (17 ABY-Present)==<br /> <br /> ===Childhood===<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' was born on [[starwars:Fondor|Fondor]] in a wealthy family and raised well in luxury. His father was a manager of a large shipyard while his mother was an administrator at a school. He is the oldest sibling with a younger brother and a younger sister. Lucyeth was enrolled in the same school as his mother who was the Superintendent. Lucyeth strives in academics and was in the top percent of the class. He was also very athletic, playing in sports. He was not very competitive but, always did the best he could making an attempt. he was introduced to traditional blasters when his father would take him out on hunting expeditions. Lucyeth is very adaptable to his surroundings by using his natural intuitive skills to do what he believes would be best for the situation. he is always ready to learn something new and is never afraid to accept a challenge.<br /> <br /> ===The Beginning Down the Dark Path===<br /> <br /> As successful he was, '''Lucyeth''' had issues with social skills and was bullied a lot by his peers. His path down the dark side began when he snapped back at a bully and killed him with a cooking utensil. His mother tried to stop him but, '''Lucyeth''' went further down a dark path killing his mother and students that wronged him. He knew the rest of his family would find out, so he went home to kill them. He covered up evidence by destroying the house and closing all finances and other assets. He went on the run and slipped on a large freighter where he ended up on the planet of [[Judecca]]. He began a life of survival, surviving off the land and becoming fond of the outdoors.<br /> <br /> ==A Fresh Start (27 ABY-36 ABY)==<br /> <br /> ===Life on Judecca===<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' began living in an uncivilized area on the outskirts of Lyon. He made a hut out of leaves and sticks from the surrounding area. He would live in this hut for the next five years, scavenging food from the surrounding wilderness. He would bulk up his natural shape through the long hiking for plant materials and hauling meat back to the hut. After three years of life in isolation, He began to visit the nearby city of Lyon to scavenge for interesting objects in dumpsters. His life improved when he got a job as a sanitation worker within the city. He would commute to the city from his hut with people yet unaware of his standard of living. He would become friends with his sanitation partner named '''Jorge''' who drove the truck.<br /> <br /> ===Black Market===<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' was offered a job by '''Jorge''' in a local cartel operating a black market. The pay was very generous and he was given weapons, his primary would be a DH-17 blaster pistol. They both ran simple runs of credits and weapons. After a few successful jobs, they were tasked with more high priority jobs like running expensive weaponry and minerals. The most important job came when they were to complete a job to obtain a rare spice. This job would be unsuccessful when they lost their window of opportunity. The job required a lot of slicing and evading securities that consumed too much time. The loss of the spice made the cartel king very angry as he lost out on a big profit. The next run would be for thermal detonators, although '''Jorge''' never appeared at the rendezvous point.<br /> <br /> ===Hunt for a friend===<br /> <br /> After his partner was a no show, Lucyeth went to the drop point to speak with the cartel branch leader about the loss of Jorge. The branch leader explained that Jorge &quot;is of no use and is no longer with us&quot;. This angered Lucyeth as he demanded where his friend is and was getting no answers. He took one of the thermal detonators and shoved in in the branch leader's mouth, breaking teeth in the process. <br /> <br /> ===Take down of the Black Market===<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' went to the safe house of the cartel king to do whatever means were necessary to get his friend. he battled his way through the atrium of the compound, taking down enemies with ease using his blaster. He lost his E-11 blaster rifle that he was using as he moved up the stairs. He engaged in hand to hand combat with the personal bodyguard of the king. He won in the short battle gaining the upper hand and pulling out his pistol to shoot the bodyguard in the face without hesitation. <br /> <br /> ===Discovery of the Force===<br /> <br /> '''Lucyeth''' entered the personal office of the cartel king to find his friend being held hostage by the king. He attempted to fire his pistol but, was not fast enough as it was shot out of his hand. With a gun pointed at him and being taunted with nothing to do, Lucyeth would boil up emotions. As the taunting continued, his fear about what he should do was building up anger within himself. As his emotion began to overwhelm him, Lucyeth has now felt more anger than he has ever felt in his life. His anger was out of control and pent up rage that caused him to yell in an instant that caused a mysterious tremor in the room. The cartel king was knocked to the ground, which gave '''Jorge''' the opportunity to kick him in the gut and shoot him dead. With the room mangled from the strange force that occurred, neither of them were able to explain what had happened. Jorge moved to the city of Tailyon and got a job in one of the ports, while Lucyeth continued to work for the sanitation department of the city of Lyon. Lucyeth eventually earned enough credits to purchase an apartment in the city, leaving behind his hut as history of his past. Jorge gave Lucyeth the blaster pistol of the cartel king because he felt it was rightfully earned. The pistol was a DL-22 blaster pistol which would become part of his arsenal as a concealed weapon in an ankle holster. he kept his skills finely tuned as he could never be too sure when the skills would be needed again in the future. He would still be unable to explain what had happened at the black market compound, but he would get his answer in due time, as he would be hidden for a short time.<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who sensed the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the SIth Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who sensed the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Crusade (36 ABY) ==<br /> === Prologue: ''Avenger II'' ===<br /> Reporting for duty on [[Antei]], Koryn entered the the [[Dark Hall]] where already dozens of Brotherhood members were awaiting orders. When all had arrived, [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Raken]] and the [[Herald|Herald's]] [[Praetor]], [[Ekeia Iclo]], gave them the mission: to capture Zoraan's flagship, the [[Dark Crusade - Prologue|''Avenger II'']]. Along with his fellow Palatinaeans Evant and [[Shadow Nighthunter]], Koryn was assigned to a strike team with [[Raiju Kang]] and [[Morotheri]], both members of House [[Odan-Urr]]. Tensions were high from the outset, with the ideologies of both Houses being greatly contradictory. Nevertheless, they boarded their shuttle bound for [[The Shroud]] resolved to completing their task.<br /> <br /> Landing in a hangar bay, klaxons immediately began blaring as they detected the intruders. Turrets took aim at the shuttle, its bolts colliding with the repulsorlifts causing them to ignite and explode shortly after the five Jedi had disembarked. It mattered little though: they would either take the ''Avenger II'' in the name of the Brotherhood or die trying. A platoon of stormtroopers and battle droids entered the fray, but their blasters were useless against those wielding lightsabers. They were soon backed up by two Sith: identical twins Reaper and Frost. The pair worked together in perfect synchronicity forcing the team onto the defensive. Eventually managing to separate the pair from each other, Raiju brought the full weight of a starfighter crashing down upon Frost. As if fated to only exist together, Reaper was distracted by the death of his brother and failed to retaliate against Shadow thrusting her lightsaber through his chest.<br /> <br /> Before the group could continue onwards, a shuttle bearing the markings of the Dark Council touched down in the hangar bay. Raken and Ekeia emerged, handing an encoded datapad to Koryn. The message warned of a traitor within one of the strike teams. Keeping the information to himself for the time being, Koryn and the others continued onwards, taking a turbolift up to the bridge. Before it arrived, however, it slammed to a halt as security disabled it. As the durasteel doors slid open, they were immediately ambushed as a flashbang was tossed inside. Fighting their way through, they came to a terminal. The technician was swiftly dealt with and Evant went to work undoing their situation. Unfortunately the activation of the turbolift required access to three other terminals that were not networked to each other. As they were about to move out, an argument erupted over the contents of the datapad. Koryn resolved to tell them and suspicions immediately ran through the group. They were then interrupted by two Sith warriors and an Apprentice, who sought to turn them against each other. The Sith were quickly dealt with before Dantella Novae made her presence known. She was immensely powerful in the Force and she demonstrated her prowess as the group attempted to repel her.<br /> <br /> Realising their need to escape the current level of the ship, Koryn ordered Evant to activate the remaining terminals, sending Shadow and Morotheri with him; Raiju and himself would hold off Novae. As they dueled, the Umbaran gained the upper hand by subduing Raiju. Turning to Koryn, a whisper laced in the Force bade him to take a knife from her belt: he was her puppet to do with as she wished. With a flick of her wrist, he stood over the Nautolan, blade held high; another flick and it plunged down, sinking deep into his chest just below the collarbone between two ribs. As he was about to end the Jedi's suffering, the dagger flew from his grasp. Morotheri had returned to help his friend, sensing the danger he was in. Under the Sith Adept's influence, Koryn racted by violently swinging his lightsaber at the human. Novae's attention was held as their lightsabers clashed, all of her focus placed into controlling the Rodian. She let out a scream as Raiju reached out enough to sever her right leg at the thigh. A moment later Evant and Shadow arrived. Morotheri accused Koryn - now free from his daze - of conspiring against them, even Evant turned on his comrade. Only Raiju came to his defence. They ended Novae's life before advancing on the bridge.<br /> <br /> Arriving on the bridge, the strike team could sense the fragmented mind of Darth Necar. With their power drained the Sith Lord mistook them for crew. Wishing to destroy the ship and all aboard it, he set his [[starwars:Terentatek|Terentateks]] after the team. In their wearied state, the beasts proved remarkably effective and it took all of their focus to kill them. As they formulated a plan to attack Darth Necar, fatigue and mistrust finally shattered the fragile alliance: the Palatinaeans turned on the Odanites, with Shadow being the first to snap. This drew the attention of Necar who summoned them before him, seeing them as agents of the Brotherhood. Acting appropriately, Koryn made a ploy that he and the Palatinaeans had brought the Odanites before him as an act of submission to his teachings. Perhaps because of his psychosis, the Sith Lord trusted them and informed them that the ship was being piloted into a nearby asteroid field.<br /> <br /> Necar bade his new Apprentices to kill the captives; the Jedi drew their arms against their assailants. Eventually, the Sith Lord himself entered the Fray, displaying his proficiency with Force Lightning. Seizing the opportunity, Evant began hacking into the ships navicomputer to alter their current trajectory. Recognising the betrayal, Necar turned against the team, but it was to be in vain. Evant succeeded in bringing down the shields of the bridge as an asteroid broke through the forward viewport, colliding with the Sith Lord and killing him instantly. The team had taken the ''Avenger II'' as much through luck and circumstance as skill.<br /> <br /> === Nfolgai ===<br /> Following the capture of the ''Avenger II'', the [[Dark Council]] announced the Brotherhood was to take the war path against the [[starwars:One Sith|One Sith]] who had begun to encroach upon Brotherhood territory: their actions were attributed to assassinations of key political figures and cyber terrorism acts across Brotherhood space. The Brotherhood would use a two-pronged assault against planets occupied by the One Sith. Scholae Palatinae's first target was Nfolgai.<br /> <br /> Koryn was initially tasked with exploring the abandoned space station orbiting the planet. Finding nothing of use, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Xen]] sent him to the planet's surface to recover missing probe droids. Arriving at the coordinates in the northern arctic regions, Koryn was met with a crashed Destroyer - the ''Render''. Reconnaissance indicated the presence of [[starwars:Mrlssi|Mrlssi]] living in the wreckage. Opting for diplomacy with the Mrlssi over slaughter, Koryn met with the Elder of the tribe who agreed to return the wreckage, having already drawn up schematics of the technology. During their meeting, the Elder revealed that they held blueprints of an ancient Sith weapon belonging to Lord of the One Sith, Yobd Nan. The Rodian opted to infiltrate the ''Render'' and steal the blueprints from the Mrlssi before Yobd Nan arrived. However, both the One Sith and the Mrlssi had increased their patrols in the area and Koryn was unable to gain access. Intel later reached Thraagus that [[Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu|Sanjuro Keibatsu]] of Clan Naga Sadow recovered the blueprints.<br /> <br /> === Rhelg ===<br /> Scholae Palatinae's second target was Rhelg. Koryn was assigned to a team who would infiltrate the Fortress of Ludo Kressh along with [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]], [[Kell Dante]], [[Thran Occasus]], and [[Evant Taelyan]]. The group faced down [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] hunters as they explored the fortress, whilst over time, Thran slowly became possessed by the spirit of [[starwars:Dor Gal-Ram|Dor Gal-Ram]], an ally of Sith Lord [[starwars:Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. As they attacked the former Emperor, Lady of the SIth Maxyn Vonnisia entered and challenged the ancient Sith. With both occupied, Archangel attacked, rendering both unconscious.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic.

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who sensed the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his own family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' business rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> === Chasing Horizons ===<br /> Returning to the Cocytus system, Scholae Palatinae found their planets overrun by [[Zoraan|Zoraan’s]] Remnant. Koryn led Acclivis Draco back to Antenora, where the Remnant had already begun to be pushed back by the native tribes, especially in areas controlled by particularly militant tribes like the Haka Lakuis of Patz-Ah city. The battleteam deployed near Suzel where they rendezvoused with a resistance movement of Antenoran Defence Regiment troops.<br /> <br /> The Dragon’s Citadel was the first to be returned to Draconian control – as much for strategic purposes as morale. Diplomacy with the tribes began in earnest in order to gain their support across the planet; the Dark Jedi were under no illusion that Antenora could be reclaimed alone. With the stronghold and command post of Acclivis Draco in their possession once more and the support of a number of the tribes, the Battleteam marched on Suzel proper. One by one, the Antenoran cities were purged of the invaders. But with each battle won, more of the Draconian Jedi were called off-planet: [[Brent &quot;Archangel&quot; Ligur Victae|Archangel]] was required aboard the [[ISDII Warspite]], [[Kell Dante]] was summoned to the defence of [[Judecca]], with [[Rayne Victae|Rayne]] following a few days later. Eventually, all that was left of the Battleteam on Antenora was Koryn, [[Zabitha]], Vithril, and [[Seider]]. By that point however, only Vuhm Kehs – the Scholars’ Keep – remained to be taken back. A surgical strike was planned with the assistance of [[Antenoran Guard|Major Rett Verises]], one of the greatest strategists of the Antenoran Guard. The Dark Jedi, along with a contingent of troops stormed the keep and quickly seized control. The Remnant had been pushed from Antenora, those that survived would either flee the planet or integrate into Antenoran society. <br /> <br /> Koryn’s attention then turned to Judecca. While his focus had been on reclaiming his planet, Clan Naga Sadow had invaded the system, seeking to capitalise on Scholae Palatinae’s comparative weakness following the Horizon incident. Despite this, much of the [[Imperial Winter Palace|Imperial Palace]] was still overrun by the Remnant army. Taking a shuttle to Ohmen, he met with [[Akatsuki]] who brought him up to speed on the situation within the palace. Of concern to her first and foremost was that Evant was pinned down following a reconnaissance mission; his intel had confirmed that the invading army were launching their attacks from the Throne Room. Swiftly a plan to retake Scholae Palatinae’s seat of power and rescue Evant simultaneously formed in the Rodian’s head.<br /> <br /> Launching an assault on the occupying forces surrounding Evant, Koryn drew out a majority of the troops stationed in the throne room. With less resistance in the throne room, Akatsuki and Zabitha detonated remote charges in order to breach the walls. In a surprising turn of events, the Jedi of Naga Sadow were ordered to assist in the recapture of the palace. While many of Scholae Palatinae worked to regain control of the palace, the Sadowans proceeded to return control of the city of Ohmen to the Royal House. Those who had begun the day as enemies had worked some way towards becoming allies. Following these events, peace negotiations were opened up between the two summits.<br /> <br /> == Dark Horizons (36 ABY) ==<br /> '''Events of Dark Horizon Prologue RO to go here'''<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, it is exceptionally rare that Koryn ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with defending almost considered a hindrance to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Personality ===<br /> As is typical of his species, Koryn is particularly fierce in battle. Outside of combat, however, he is a stark contrast being friendly and courteous to those he meets, even those deemed an enemy of Scholae Palatinae. Koryn holds the values of the unit to heart; some would argue that he is loyal to a fault. If Scholae Palatinae is threatened, he is quick to take up arms alongside his comrades and do what must be done for the good of the unit.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Rollmaster]] of Scholae Palatinae<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who sensed the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Battleteam Leaders|Tetrarch]] of Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, Koryn very rarely if ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with his defences almost considered secondary to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Determined and ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SPCat}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is an intriguing one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. A series of events led to him killing them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele. He was sought out by an old family friend who sensed the Force potential within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]]. He currently serves as [[Battleteam Leaders|Tetrarch]] of Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The past holds answers, but the future is where we should set our sights.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was a successful merchant who many believed dealt in black market goods. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father was embroiled in a deal that turned sour. In the hope of clearing his debt, he sold his family to slavers and fled the planet. When the slavers came to collect their prize, an otherworldly force took control of Koryn's body. His reactions were heightened beyond what he was usually capable of and he slaughtered everyone, including his mother and brother. Koryn refuses to speak of the matter, and it is unknown whether he killed his family out of blind rage, or as an act of mercy.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Emerald's Shadow. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually he received word from a contact that his father had been found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone there in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. When he saw the man who had caused him so much grief, the same power that took control of him before once more manifested itself and he choked his father to death. Koryn now understands this to be early evidence of his latent Force talents.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus in his bounty hunting days]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Emerald's Shadow, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed it had been a reward for saving the life of a [[starwars:Clone Trooper|Clone trooper]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep; he had always presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.<br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and smugglers to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it; he had no need for money as he was still comfortably living off his family's fortune. The Hutts gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|You have potential, but it controls you. I can help you take control.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Following an assassination of one of the Hutts' rivals on [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]], Koryn met someone who introduced themselves as a &quot;client&quot;. Taking their business to a quiet corner of a cantina, the human introduced himself as Torak Occasus and claimed that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't actually have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. Koryn had disarmed one of the Humans and taken the blade for his own, running the man through. Torak took his opportunity whilst Koryn was preoccupied and turned on him severing Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it. Torak later explained that it had been Koryn's first lesson from the Brotherhood: trust was something to be earned, not given freely.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived in Brotherhood space, a communication instructed him to head to [[Lyspair]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself rising through the ranks.<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true darkness within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi Protector who held information of worth to Scholae Palatinae. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that the events came from his own subconscious: he had held the door shut with the Force, the vision had manifested through him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Disengaging from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force and manifested it as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control it. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awaken from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi, focusing instead on the mission at hand. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worthwhile.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House.|Kalak to Koryn}}<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing themselves as the House Summit: [[Tra'an Reith|Tra'an]], [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] and [[Timbal]].<br /> <br /> Kalak announced that the Guardian was to be inducted into the ranks of the Order of the Dragon, Acclivis Draco's prestigious order. He was to take up the title of Claw of Callousness and was to be tasked with the Quaestor's protection and wellbeing.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the coordinates of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to [[Lucien Kaeth Palpatine|Lucien Kaeth]] and [[Thran Occasus]]. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B heavy attack tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two squads of [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan was to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2 super battle droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to see that this was a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and re-grow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == The Year of War (36 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn learnt much on his travels and, in 35 ABY, felt that the time was right to return to the House. Shortly after arriving back, the Cocytus Winter Games were announced. They were a time of great merriment amongst the House, a time to celebrate past victories; to celebrate the memory of those lost. Occasions like this were fleeting, however, and in 36 ABY Scholae Palatinae once more marched to war.<br /> <br /> === Alliance against Naga Sadow ===<br /> <br /> In secrecy, Quaestor [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus]] plotted with [[Plagueis (House)|Plagueis']] Quaestor, Tra'an Reith, to invade the [[Orian System]] and in doing so destroy [[Naga Sadow]]. Their plan was to assault the Clan on two fronts, dividing the Sadowan forces.<br /> <br /> While many members of the House assaulted [[Sepros]], Koryn, along with his Apprentice - [[Zabitha]] - were tasked with dealing with a rebel faction on the recently occupied [[Aeotheran]]. The rebels were mostly made up of [[Dlarit Security Force]] personnel and made problems for the combined forces of Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. After tracing one of their leaders to a cantina in the south of the city, together Koryn and Zabitha took him out while allies killed Dlarit leaders across the planet.<br /> <br /> After all was taken care of on Aeotheran, the Rodian and his Apprentice joined the Palatinaean forces on Sepros. The pair arrived in the nick of time to find [[Eetherbiail]], [[Akatsuki]], [[Xan Phraz-Etar]], and [[Draco Maligo]] cornered by two mutant [[starwars:Rancor|Rancors]]. Disorienting the more aggressive of the two with a combination of [[starwars:Smoke grenade|smoke grenades]] and [[starwars:Flash-bang grenade|flash-bang grenades]], Koryn proceeded to kill it by stabbing it through its head. With Akatsuki's help, the second was persuaded through the Force to leave the group be. Together, the group began their trek through the jungle towards the Temple where the Sadowan army was encamped.<br /> <br /> As they drew deeper into the jungle, the nocturnal beasts attacked numerous times, picking off some of their troops. Eventually, as dawn broke through the canopy, they came upon the Temple. The forces of Scholae Palatinae drew their battle line, awaiting [[Xantros]] and the other strike teams to rendezvous on their position.<br /> <br /> As they were preparing to assault the Temple, the ground forces received word of Xen's betrayal against Plagueis. They were ordered to retreat to the firebase for full evacuation and to consider any Plagueis force as hostile. Many of the Dark Jedi failed to see the logic in a full retreat; they could take the Temple in the confusion, destroying both Naga Sadow and Plagueis, facilitating their rise to power. As Dlarit artillery fire rained through the jungle, the Scholae forces sprinted back to the evacuation point. During the retreat, a number of Dark Jedi were given the order to cover the retreat. Koryn came upon Xantros, his lightsaber held at the ready and artillery fire crashing all around him. Koryn’s attempt to persuade him to retreat was futile, and he continued on to the firebase. Reaching Zabitha's position, he found that she and her troops had been ambushed by Plagueis soldiers. Killing them quickly, the pair made their way to the evacuation point where dropships were waiting to return them to the [[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]] and back to the [[Cocytus System]].<br /> <br /> === Horizon Outbreak ===<br /> <br /> Soon after arriving back on [[Judecca]], rumours began to spread of unnaturally gifted Initiates arriving at the Shadow Academy. Once inducted into the ranks of the Brotherhood’s units, a disease began to infect the [[Journeymen]], stripping them of their connection to the Force and bolstering their physical attributes.<br /> <br /> In an effort to appease Eetherbiail and [[Evant Taelyan]] Koryn concocted a tale of a holocron left on Antenora after Acclivis Draco’s collapse that contained knowledge of how to return one’s connection to the Force upon losing it. The trio arrived at the [[Dragons Citadel]] on [[Antenora]] to find it inhabited by one of the native tribes. Upon speaking with the ambassador, Koryn realised it was an offshoot of the Hoka Dachu. He negotiated to allow the two Knights to enter the Citadel to reclaim the relic. The two had already succumbed to the effects of the Horizon plague and anger often clouded their judgment. Usually so rational in their use of violence, they had descended into a berserker’s rage, killing many of the tribesmen that guarded the holocron.<br /> <br /> Eventually, Koryn persuaded the tribe to allow them to stay a while. They agreed as much due to fear of Eether and Evant as due to Koryn’s silver tongue. During their time there, the Rodian also succumbed to the effects of the plague, slowly feeling his attachment to the Force waning, until it existed no more. With the loss of the Force came a lack of proficiency with a lightsaber. With a plan to rectify their weaponry situation, Koryn summoned his companions to the former Quaestor’s office. Upon arriving, he could see that the tribesmen had ‘desecrated’ the office. Flying into a rage, he slaughtered all present. As the last body fell, Koryn felt remorse at his actions; senseless violence was not an aspect of his personality.<br /> <br /> Turning away from the scene before him, Koryn unveiled the Quaestor’s personal weapons cache advising Eether and Evant to ready some equipment. As they did, he contacted his old friend and ally, Tra’an. The Cocytus system had been invaded and there was no way to return to Judecca. The three of them were stuck alone on Antenora and they needed an ally wherever they could get one. As they were discussing the situation, sirens blared, alerting them all to intruders in the Citadel’s grounds. Koryn demanded Tra’an transmit his coordinates so they could rendezvous on his position.<br /> <br /> Taking a [[starwars:X-45 sniper rifle|Sorosuub X-45]] and a [[starwars:WESTAR-34 blaster pistol|Westar-34]] Koryn headed to the roof to provide covering fire for his companions to get to their ship. Feeding the pair the enemies positions, they easily made it to the [[starwars:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|Lambda-class shuttle]]. Taking off, they manoeuvred to pick up the Rodian from the rooftop. As they left Antenora’s atmosphere, an [[starwars:Imperial II-class Star Destroyer| Imperial II-class Star Destroyer]] moved to intercept them. The Star Destroyer launched a flight of [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE Interceptors]] in order to slow down their retreat. Eether and Koryn manned the turrets as Evant attempted to position the ship for the jump to hyperspace. They managed to keep the Interceptors at bay long enough for the ship to begin its journey across the sector to Tra’an’s location.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that it was a reward for saving the life of a Clone trooper.<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon as well as its adaptability and customisation options. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate. Since taking up the lightsaber, Koryn very rarely if ever uses this anymore. Despite this, he has a tendency to break the weapon down to ensure each component is in peak condition.<br /> <br /> === Westar-34 Blaster Pistol ===<br /> Along with his rifle, Koryn would always be in possession of at least one sidearm. Usually this would be a custom Westar-34. Koryn preferred the Westar due to its quick rate of fire coupled with its accuracy and greater heat absorption. Even now, the Rodian will carry at least one Westar with him at all times.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu. This reflects his elegant ferocity in battle with his defences almost considered secondary to ending his opponent. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moment's notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Attire ===<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian who stands at 1.68 metres tall, appearing short to the average human, but is relatively tall for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour and can see a much broader spectrum of light than a human. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to a wide frequency of sound, and can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. Between his antennae, a ridge of flexible spines crests his skull. His left arm was severed any years prior, and he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. A small scar – roughly an inch long – sits on his upper lip curving up towards his left eye, which he received from a mark during his bounty hunting days. Sucker-tipped fingers allow Koryn to climb with much greater ease and up harsher terrain.<br /> <br /> Koryn will usually be clad in his Krath robes with his lightsaber clipped to his belt. As a former bounty hunter, he realises the need to be prepared at all times and will carry at least one blaster pistol with him at all times. However, he will only rely on a blaster when the situation calls for a less direct confrontation. The majority of his robes are made from a resilient cloth, while his military-grade boots are made of durable leather.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Determined and ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see a broad spectrum of light.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan in addition to understanding a number of other languages.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{CSP}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

Overall that is too far-fetched. The Chiss, being paranoid in general, would probably have some pretty strict protocols around ships landing on their home planet, let alone doing anything else while there.<br /> <br /> === Removed ===<br /> Removed tag along with entire section.<br /> Koryn Thraagus (21st April 2012, 09:30 GMT)</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is a complex one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. In a fit of rage, he murdered them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele before opting for a slower life as a humble repairman on [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. He was sought out by a distant cousin, Torak Occasus, who sensed the Dark Side within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The future is where we should look; forget the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it could never proven. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead; events are unclear as to what exactly happened. All that is known for certain is that Koryn – in a fit of rage – murdered his mother and brother.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{Quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. You always held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Silver Palar. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn_bounty_hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[File:Onderon_Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He traveled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat, spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. A Human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected Torak to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the Humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Claw of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. <br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1_battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn_Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brotherhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and regrow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate a leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> [[File:DC_15A_Blaster_Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Vibroblade ===<br /> [[File:Koryns_Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|137px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> During his travels away from the Brotherhood, Koryn discarded the once useful weapon; his lightsaber was his life now.<br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> [[File:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|257px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, they can also detect much lower frequencies with relative ease. They can also judge the approximate direction and distance that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. However, he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight. <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Determined and ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Skilled repairman.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak some Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan.<br /> * Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{CSP}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is a complex one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. In a fit of rage, he murdered them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele before opting for a slower life as a humble repairman on [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. He was sought out by a distant cousin, Torak Occasus, who sensed the Dark Side within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The future is where we should look; forget the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it could never proven. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead; events are unclear as to what exactly happened. All that is known for certain is that Koryn – in a fit of rage – murdered his mother and brother.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{Quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. You always held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Silver Palar. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn_bounty_hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[File:Onderon_Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He traveled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat, spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. A Human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected Torak to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the Humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Claw of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his comlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’.<br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CEDF – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[File:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. The pair traveled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building and took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls; some were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made their way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the corridor. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leapt in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. The Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and attacked the troops. At close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leapt over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on Scholae Palatinae or the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. <br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1_battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn_Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Poisoned Mind (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Following the events of the war on the surface of Antei, [[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]] stepped down as Quaestor of the House. [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]] took his place as Lord of Antenora, with Koryn as his Right Hand and advisor. The pair accomplished great things, but Koryn’s mental health deteriorated. He was almost constantly paranoid, fearful that his position would be usurped.<br /> <br /> One day, without warning, the Rodian left [[Antenora]]. Commandeering a transport, he sent a final message to Kalak informing him that he was stepping down as Aedile, leaving Scholae Palatinae and Brothrhood controlled space, and did not know when he would return.<br /> <br /> For two years, Koryn travelled the galaxy. Little is known of his journeys by anyone except the Rodian himself. One of the few incidents known is that he eventually came upon the planet of [[starwars:Arkania|Arkania]] where he met with [[starwars:Arkanian Microtechnologies|Arkanian Microtechnologies]]. After some negotiating, they agreed to take tissue samples from the Rodian and regrow his lost arm.<br /> <br /> == Downsizing and Unifying (33 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> Koryn returned three years later to a somewhat stagnant Brotherhood. The events of war the previous year had taken its toll; many Dark Jedi either lay dead or had left Brotherhood space. Civil unrest was rampant amongst the Clans, seeking to blame the Dark Council for the lost members. A decision was made by the Council to limit the power of the Clans. Stripping them of their titles, all Clans were downsized becoming Houses.<br /> <br /> Seeking his chance in the turmoil, Koryn took control of Acclivis Draco, taking his place as the Lord of Antenora. For many months, he ruled Antenora with a select group of loyal Dark Jedi as his vassals. Together they hatched a plot to do what none had successfully done before them: to unite the Tribes of the planet. Each member of the team was to assassinate the leader of one of the Tribes using primitive weaponry. As they conducted their business, Koryn met with the Queen of the Hoka Dachu, the most powerful – and often considered ruling – tribe on Antenora. During the counsel, the Rodian assassinated her in full view of her court without anyone being any the wiser.<br /> <br /> The Queen’s daughter abdicated the throne shortly after being named the monarch, leaving the ruling of the Tribes to Koryn. The Rodian had many plans for change and expansion on the planet, but the Force constantly called to him. Following his years of travelling, he had wanderlust, and the months of staying in a single system had lost its novelty. Once more, he left the Cocytus system. A few short weeks later, he received word from a trusted informant: Acclivis Draco had been disbanded. What remained of Acclivis Draco left the Antenorans to rule themselves, returning to Judecca and integrating with the rest of the House.<br /> <br /> The Last Lord of Antenora felt a twinge of remorse, but steeled himself and never looked back on his decision.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> [[File:DC_15A_Blaster_Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Vibroblade ===<br /> [[File:Koryns_Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|137px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> During his travels away from the Brotherhood, Koryn discarded the once useful weapon; his lightsaber was his life now.<br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> [[File:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|257px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, they can also detect much lower frequencies with relative ease. They can also judge the approximate direction and distance that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. However, he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight. <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Determined and ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Skilled repairman.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan.<br /> * Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{CSP}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to the House and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is a complex one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. In a fit of rage, he murdered them. Choosing to walk the path of a [[starwars:Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]], he travelled the galaxy working for various clientele before opting for a slower life as a humble repairman on [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. He was sought out by a distant cousin, Torak Occasus, who sensed the Dark Side within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended the ranks with the help of his Master, Robin Hawk. He has held a number of positions and titles within his House including Aedile of the former house [[Acclivis Draco]], [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the now defunct [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{Quote|The future is where we should look; forget the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it could never proven. His older brother was a pilot in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead; events are unclear as to what exactly happened. All that is known for certain is that Koryn – in a fit of rage – murdered his mother and brother.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{Quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. You always held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> After transferring credits from his families’ accounts, Koryn purchased a light freighter, dubbed The Silver Palar. He traveled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{Quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Koryn_bounty_hunter.jpg|thumb|142px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realized that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None more so than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[File:Onderon_Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He traveled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat, spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{Quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. A Human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was an old friend of the Thraagus family. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which Occasus was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two Humans. The pair killed the Humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The Humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected Torak to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the Humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his Torak - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words Torak had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for information regarding the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon information of the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies; unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that he hoped would serve him well.<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realized that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.<br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{Quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed his father through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> {{Quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. Ironically, the Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his undeveloped skills, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his comlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on [[Antenora]]. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|comlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognized two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Claw of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his comlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’.<br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CEDF – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[File:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. The pair traveled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building and took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls; some were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made their way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the corridor. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leapt in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. The Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and attacked the troops. At close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leapt over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on Scholae Palatinae or the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled. <br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{Quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming Koryn a Knight of the Clan.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> <br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{Quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1_battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{Quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained. <br /> <br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Vorlyn_Calthar.jpg|thumb|255px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north to where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{Quote|Honor and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> <br /> <br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was barely recognisable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[File:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armor presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons ==<br /> <br /> === DC-15A Blaster Rifle ===<br /> [[File:DC_15A_Blaster_Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Vibroblade ===<br /> [[File:Koryns_Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|137px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> During his travels away from the Brotherhood, Koryn discarded the once useful weapon; his lightsaber was his life now.<br /> <br /> === Lightsaber ===<br /> Koryn has mastered the art of Makashi and has adequate training in Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> [[File:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|257px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn is a green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antennae, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, they can also detect much lower frequencies with relative ease. They can also judge the approximate direction and distance that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. However, he has since had an arm cloned from his body tissue and reattached. The skin is a slightly different shade of green to the rest of his body, but is nigh unnoticeable to all but other Rodians and the most observant. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight. <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth.<br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> * Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> * Loyal.<br /> * Hard working.<br /> * Determined and ambitious.<br /> * Agile.<br /> * Skilled repairman.<br /> * Excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> * Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> * As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> * Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> * Left arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> * As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> * Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> * Slow to trust people.<br /> * Very basic piloting skills.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> <br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> *[[Battleteam Leader|Krath Tetrarch]] of Battleteam Acclivis Draco<br /> *Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> *Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> *Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> * Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> * Passed the Antei Combat Center Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Koryn is the Apprentice of Robin Hawk and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> * Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan.<br /> * Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> * Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{CSP}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]] [[Category:Palatinaeans]]</div>

<p>Koryn Thraagus: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Organization infobox<br /> |BG1=465600<br /> |BG2=465632<br /> |name=Dragon Seraphim<br /> |image=[[Image:Dragon Seraphim Logo.gif|200px]]<br /> |founder=Veyala Dranok<br /> |leader=<br /> |members=<br /> |headquarters=<br /> |locations=Originally [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]<br /> |founded=3,996 BBY<br /> |reorganized=<br /> |fragmented=3,989 BBY<br /> |dissolved=<br /> |restored=[[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]<br /> |affiliation=[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], [[House Acclivis Draco]]<br /> |era=[[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]<br /> }}<br /> The Dragon Seraphim dates back to approximately 3,996 BBY, when members of the Krath cult split away from the original teachings of [[starwars:Aleema Keto|Aleema]] and [[starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Origins==<br /> Death Witch Veyala Dranok and a small group of [[starwars:Krath|Krath]] came to feel as though the Order was not to be trusted; betrayal was rife and the Krath came close to internal fighting on many occasions. The sect, originally made up of twelve members, settled on [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]. Eventually, the Dragon Seraphim grew to around one hundred members. Whereas the Krath relied solely on the teachings of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]], the Dragon Seraphim also took the teachings of the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Such teachings, they twisted to fit a darker purpose. The sect developed their own mantra; a twisted hybrid of both the [[starwars:Jedi Code|Jedi Code]] and the [[starwars:Code fo the Sith|Code of the Sith]]: <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;''“Peace exists in distant memories.''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Power lies in others’ ignorance.''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Knowledge is a subtle strength.''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Chaos prevails in victory.”''<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Dragon Seraphim never forgot their roots within the Krath Order, however, despite their distrust. The Dragon Seraphim continued to teach subtlety, many of the members becoming skilled assassins, akin to their Krath brothers. Also similar to the Krath, the Dragon Seraphim lusted for knowledge. Unlike the Krath, however, they were aware that knowledge could not win battles alone. They realised the power of the galaxy’s ignorance towards their cult, and strived to keep its existence a secret. <br /> In 3,994 BBY, Dranok was killed when attempting to assassinate a Jedi. Her successor, Jallus Bo’ak, became paranoid that someone was trying to kill him. As such, the Dragon Seraphim became much more nomadic. Records were not kept during this time, and the Dragon Seraphim faded from existence. The date of dissolution is estimated as being around 3,989 BBY, when bodies of many members of the Dragon Seraphim, including Bo’ak, were found brutally murdered; it is presumed that the cult was destroyed through in-fighting. <br /> {{HADBattleTeams}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Veyala Dranok===<br /> Dranok was born in 4,016 BBY on [[starwars:Grizmallt|Grizmallt]]. She was a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]] and discovered by the Jedi shortly after her first birthday. She was taken to the[[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] where her powers were honed. In her late teen years, the Jedi sensed darkness in her and cautioned her against continuing down the path leading towards the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]].<br /> <br /> In 3,997 BBY, Dranok began hearing talk of a Sith cult calling themselves the Krath. Fleeing the Jedi Temple along with two other [[starwars:Padawan|Padawans]] under the cover of night, the trio made their way to the [[starwars:Empress Teta system|Empress Teta system]]. They sought out the Krath and were inducted into the cult. Only a few short months after joining the Krath, Dranok began to notice betrayal was rife; there were few who could be trusted. She was not the only Krath to feel this way, however. Twelve members seceded from the original cult, establishing their own society: the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> The Twelve travelled to Samaria where they established their small society. Over time, Dranok (now going by the title Veyala the Deserter) and the rest of the Twelve gathered around a hundred members to their sect. The Twelve trained their followers in a twisted hybrid of Sith, Krath, and Jedi techniques.<br /> <br /> In 3,993 BBY, Veyala undertook an assassination of a Jedi: her former Master. Her Master attempted to turn her back to the [[starwars:Light side of the Force|Light]]. Having failed to do so, he was forced to kill her.<br /> <br /> ==Dragon Seraphim and Acclivis Draco==<br /> In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]], upon the formation of the [[Order of the Dragon]], mentions of the Dragon Seraphim and its split from the Krath were discovered in manuscripts within the [[Shadow Academy]]. It was decided by then-[[Quaestor]] [[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] that Dragon Seraphim would be incorporated within the Order. It was decreed that, in honour of the original secession, the twelve newest members of the Order would first be inducted into the Dragon Seraphim, the lowest of the system of echelons.<br /> <br /> Members of [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] are watched at all times, whether they realise it or not. When a member is deemed worthy by the Quaestor, the potential recruit is ambushed by either the [[House Summit]] or members of the Order of the Dragon. If they successfully fend off their attackers, they are welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim with a secret ceremony. <br /> <br /> ===Ceremony===<br /> The initiate of the Dragon Seraphim is surrounded by the twelve current members and the Quaestor. The Quaestor then steps forward with a small ceremonial blade – the Seraph’s Fang. The eldest member of the Dragon Seraphim is then summoned forth and the palm of his hand cut. The member then holds out their hand, palm down, until a single drop of blood falls to the ground; this symbolises the passing of old blood. The initiate’s palm is then cut and they hold it out, palm up, while reciting the Seraph’s Pledge: <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“''By Dranok’s honour,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I stand before my brothers and my sisters,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Reborn in the name of the Rising Dragon,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''By Dranok’s honour.”''<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Upon completing the pledge, the member is officially welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> While the Order of the Dragon is a purely fictional roster, the Dragon Seraphim was an official unit of Acclivis Draco, once functioning as the House’s only [[Battleteam]]. Conveniently, there are twelve available spots in a battleteam, and twelve months in a year. Anyone inducted into the Order will be placed in the Dragon Seraphim, and the oldest member of the team will be removed, but will unofficially remain in the Order.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Battle Team]][[Category: Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

He has sworn loyalty to [[Clan]] [[Scholae Palatinae]] and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is a complex one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. He was betrayed by them and murdered them. He then became a bounty hunter before opting for a slower life as a humble repairman on [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. He was sought out by a distant cousin, Torak Occasus, who sensed the Dark Side within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He holds a number of positions and titles within his House and Clan including Aedile, [[Dark Paladin]], and Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look; forget the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. You always held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled.<br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming to the Clan that Koryn was now a Knight.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained.<br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> {{quote|I’m Koryn Thraagus and I’ll be your captor today.|Koryn to the Jedi Vorlyn Calthar.}}<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> [[image:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === In The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{quote|Honour and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was no longer distinguishable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[image:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armour presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> [[image:OmenPurple.gif|thumb|120px|left|Koryn's first lightsaber, Shadowstrike]]<br /> Koryn has adequate training in both Makashi and Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber, 'Shadowstrike', always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn appears to be a typical green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but he is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antenna, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, an advantage to them is the ability to pick up lower frequencies with much more ease. They can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. As such, he no longer has sucker-tipped fingers on his left hand. His right hand, however, still has them, and they are a great boon as he can climb quicker than most species and up harsher terrain. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight.<br /> <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth. His senatorial robes are violet, cream, and gold in colour and are woven from [[starwars:Veda_cloth|Veda cloth]] and [[starwars:Aeien_silk|Aeien silk]].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people.

<p>Koryn Thraagus: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Organization infobox<br /> |BG1=465600<br /> |BG2=465632<br /> |name=Dragon Seraphim<br /> |image=[[Image:Dragon Seraphim Logo.gif|200px]]<br /> |founder=Veyala Dranok<br /> |leader=<br /> |members=<br /> |headquarters=<br /> |locations=Originally [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]<br /> |founded=3,996 BBY<br /> |reorganized=<br /> |fragmented=3,989 BBY<br /> |dissolved=<br /> |restored=[[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]<br /> |affiliation=[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], [[House Acclivis Draco]]<br /> |era=[[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]<br /> }}<br /> The Dragon Seraphim dates back to approximately 3,996 BBY, when members of the Krath cult split away from the original teachings of [[starwars:Aleema Keto|Aleema]] and [[starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Origins==<br /> Death Witch Veyala Dranok and a small group of [[starwars:Krath|Krath]] came to feel as though the Order was not to be trusted; betrayal was rife and the Krath came close to internal fighting on many occasions. The sect, originally made up of twelve members, settled on [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]. Eventually, the Dragon Seraphim grew to around one hundred members. Whereas the Krath relied solely on the teachings of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]], the Dragon Seraphim also took the teachings of the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Such teachings, they twisted to fit a darker purpose. The sect developed their own mantra; a twisted hybrid of both the [[starwars:Jedi Code|Jedi Code]] and the [[starwars:Code fo the Sith|Code of the Sith]]: <br /> “Peace exists in distant memories.<br /> Power lies in others’ ignorance.<br /> Knowledge is a subtle strength.<br /> Chaos prevails in victory.” <br /> The Dragon Seraphim never forgot their roots within the Krath Order, however, despite their distrust. The Dragon Seraphim continued to teach subtlety, many of the members becoming skilled assassins, akin to their Krath brothers. Also similar to the Krath, the Dragon Seraphim lusted for knowledge. Unlike the Krath, however, they were aware that knowledge could not win battles alone. They realised the power of the galaxy’s ignorance towards their cult, and strived to keep its existence a secret. <br /> In 3,994 BBY, Dranok was killed when attempting to assassinate a Jedi. Her successor, Jallus Bo’ak, became paranoid that someone was trying to kill him. As such, the Dragon Seraphim became much more nomadic. Records were not kept during this time, and the Dragon Seraphim faded from existence. The date of dissolution is estimated as being around 3,989 BBY, when bodies of many members of the Dragon Seraphim, including Bo’ak, were found brutally murdered; it is presumed that the cult was destroyed through in-fighting. <br /> {{HADBattleTeams}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Veyala Dranok===<br /> Dranok was born in 4,029 BBY on [[starwars:Grizmallt|Grizmallt]]. She was a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]] and discovered by the Jedi shortly after her first birthday. She was taken to the[[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] where her powers were honed. In her late teen years, the Jedi sensed darkness in her and cautioned her against continuing down the path leading towards the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]].<br /> <br /> In 3,997 BBY, Dranok began hearing talk of a Sith cult calling themselves the Krath. Fleeing the Jedi Temple along with two other [[starwars:Padawan|Padawans]] under the cover of night, the trio made their way to the [[starwars:Empress Teta system|Empress Teta system]]. They sought out the Krath and were inducted into the cult. Only a few short months after joining the Krath, Dranok began to notice betrayal was rife; there were few who could be trusted. She was not the only Krath to feel this way, however. Twelve members seceded from the original cult, establishing their own society: the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> The Twelve travelled to Samaria where they established their small society. Over time, Dranok (now going by the title Veyala the Deserter) and the rest of the Twelve gathered around a hundred members to their sect. The Twelve trained their followers in a twisted hybrid of Sith, Krath, and Jedi techniques.<br /> <br /> In 3,993 BBY, Veyala undertook an assassination of a Jedi: her former Master. Her Master attempted to turn her back to the [[starwars:Light side of the Force|Light]]. Having failed to do so, he was forced to kill her.<br /> <br /> ==Dragon Seraphim and Acclivis Draco==<br /> In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]], upon the formation of the [[Order of the Dragon]], mentions of the Dragon Seraphim and its split from the Krath were discovered in manuscripts within the [[Shadow Academy]]. It was decided by then-[[Quaestor]] [[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] that Dragon Seraphim would be incorporated within the Order. It was decreed that, in honour of the original secession, the twelve newest members of the Order would first be inducted into the Dragon Seraphim, the lowest of the system of echelons. <br /> Members of [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] are watched at all times, whether they realise it or not. When a member is deemed worthy by the Quaestor, the potential recruit is ambushed by either the [[House Summit]] or members of the Order of the Dragon. If they successfully fend off their attackers, they are welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim with a secret ceremony. <br /> <br /> ===Ceremony===<br /> The initiate of the Dragon Seraphim is surrounded by the twelve current members and the Quaestor. The Quaestor then steps forward with a small ceremonial blade – the Seraph’s Fang. The eldest member of the Dragon Seraphim is then summoned forth and the palm of his hand cut. The member then holds out their hand, palm down, until a single drop of blood falls to the ground; this symbolises the passing of old blood.

Both houses of the Clan were weakened by a Civil War, after which no winner emerged. For years, [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] was the dominant [[House]], yet the equilibrium brought by [[Impetus]] and her treacherous [[House Caliburnus]] showed that the House was growing, and [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]]’s desertion of Acclivis Draco to Caliburnus looked to shift the balance in their direction.<br /> <br /> Yet all was not lost for Acclivis Draco. The artefact Caliburnus had made contact with Impetus, calling her to locate it. Only the True [[Quaestor]] of Caliburnus could retrieve the lightsaber from its resting place. The whole house left on an expedition to locate the weapon, in which [[Thran Occasus]] left Impetus, and searched for the blade himself with Rasilvenaira. It seemed Caliburnus had betrayed Impetus, and chose Thran Occasus as the Quaestor, despite her leadership of the house for over a year. Feeling unsafe in Caliburnus, she fled back to Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> From Acclivis Draco’s view, Rasilvenaira, the new Caliburnus [[Aedile]] had betrayed them through desertion. Thran Occasus had betrayed his Quaestor by working against her. It was clear enough to [[RevengeX Palpatine]] that Caliburnus was not a force to be taken lightly. As manipulative as the average Krath, with the Power of the Sith, action had to be taken to prevent the pair from overwhelming Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> A new defence force was needed. A defence unique to Acclivis Draco, to keep Caliburnus at bay. An Order of Champions would be assembled, built up slowly, as a primary defence against their partner house. First, he would need the first member of the Order of the Dragon. The perfect candidate was obvious. The Quaestor of Caliburnus not a month past, the one who made the house such a threat in the first place. [[Krath Priest|Krath Priestess]] Impetus was the first Fang of the Order, entitled the Fang of Prophecy.<br /> <br /> A month passed, and there was no hostile activity from Caliburnus. To join Impetus in the Order was the Fang of Power, Jedi Hunter Gavan, a skilled pilot. It seemed the defence against Caliburnus was a waste of time, and the Order would serve no real purpose, until the Fang of Prophecy lived up to her name, and claimed that there would be no new attack from Caliburnus for a long time. Also in her claim, she foresaw multiple [[Clan]] conflicts, and long periods of War for Acclivis Draco. True to her words, a feud between Scholae Palatinae and [[Clan Arcona|Arcona]] soon erupted, Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus combined to fight on the same side, the Order of the Dragon giving the new task of defending their house from other Clans.<br /> <br /> The Clan Feud against Arcona was one sided, the Scholae Palatinae forces overrun by their Rival Clan, but managed to hold [[Judecca]] against the clear victors. On [[Antenora]], however, efforts from the Order of the Dragon rendered any attack on the Acclivis Draco homeworld impotent, impeccable planning kept Arcona well away from conquering the Planet. After the success against Arcona, the task of external defence became the primary focus of the Order.<br /> <br /> == The Details ==<br /> === Initiation and Expulsion ===<br /> Each month, the Quaestor will name their induction into the vaunted Order of the Dragon. Generally, this is the most active, dedicated member for that time period. After this, the named member will be inducted into the Order of the Dragon and offered an invitation into the House’s Elite [[Battle Team]]. <br /> <br /> Once an individual accepts the invitation, they will be awarded an honorific title of Fang. However, regardless of the member joining the Battle Team, they shall be awarded the title “Order of the Dragon: Third Class.” This latter title will be maintained at all times throughout one’s career unless a member finds themselves worthy of removal, or expulsion, from the Order.<br /> <br /> There are several reasons that justify the expulsion of a member. A member whom is AWOL (Absent With Out Leave), retirement from the Battle Team, a complete term of service or, in extreme cases, sets a standard opposite of Clan and House Values.<br /> <br /> An Order Member and/or Fang may lose their status if the member is given a Letter of Reprimand by the Chamber of Justice, or has shown disreputable behavior across the Dark Brotherhood’s communication mediums (e-mail, IRC, etc.).<br /> <br /> === Tier System ===<br /> Upon induction into the vaunted elite of House Acclivis Draco, an individual is awarded the prestige of “Order of the Dragon: Third Class.” This is the primary, beginning rank of all elected individuals whom have taken strides to strengthen the House - be it through activity or completion of significant projects.<br /> <br /> However, elevation within the Order is attainable in the form of two additional classes: Second and First Class. These titles are reserved only for current individuals belonging to the Order and must be approved by a trio of individuals: Quaestor, [[Proconsul]], and [[Consul]].<br /> <br /> No one can detail the tasks required for further advancement, but it is assumed that longevity of service and the ability to act on superior’s orders can factor heavily into such elevation. Additionally, a member whom proves themselves as a Champion of the Clan in times of Brotherhood Vendetta may be eligible for advancement, as well.<br /> <br /> ==== Dragon Seraphim ====<br /> ''Main Article: [[Dragon Seraphim]]''<br /> {{HADBattleTeams}}<br /> [[Image:Dragon Seraphim Logo.gif|left|175px|thumb|Dragon Seraphim Logo by [[Laurus]]]]<br /> The ''Dragon Seraphim'' is the name given to the group of the twelve newest Order members and is at the very bottom of the system of echelons.<br /> <br /> While the Order of the Dragon is a purely fictional roster, the Dragon Seraphim was an official unit of Acclivis Draco, once functioning as the House’s only Battleteam. Conveniently, there are twelve available spots in a battleteam, and twelve months in a year. Anyone inducted into the Order will be placed in the Dragon Seraphim, and the oldest member of the team will be removed, but will unofficially remain in the Order.<br /> <br /> === Responsibilities ===<br /> The First task of the Order is as Advisers to the [[House Summit]]. If the Acclivis Draco leadership need extra feedback or ideas in a project that will affect the entire house, the Order will be the first ones for them to go to. In this role, the Order plays a key role in the running of the house, as in many projects taking place, they will be consulted on many occasions.<br /> <br /> Secondly, the initiation process of the Order allows anyone to get in through a good month of activity. The constant prospect of induction to the Order will entice people to push themselves harder, really make an effort in important times to be known as one of Acclivis Draco’s elite. In turn, this will make for a much more active Acclivis Draco outside of the Order.<br /> <br /> The combination of the two responsibilities will allow the Order to play a very active role in the running of the house, and the very existence of it will encourage activity in those outside, thus making Acclivis Draco a much stronger force in DB-wide events.<br /> <br /> ==Dragon Support==<br /> The Dragon Support is the name given to the squad of NPCs that accompany the Dark Jedi of the Order of the Dragon.<br /> <br /> At this time, there are two members of the Dragon Support: Nero, and Meggon Vohkou.<br /> <br /> ; Ararin Korin : A Twi'lek-Human hybrid, who was the spouse of ex-Order member Impetus Korin, Ararin was the longest serving Dragon Support member, until he followed Impetus to Caliburnus. Despite his superior marksmanship, his fake, modest personality and undying loyalty to Impetus were seen as a vexatious hindrance to the House by most others. He was killed by slavers following his wife in a martyrish mission to [[Siordan'a]].<br /> <br /> ; Nero : A middle-aged Mon Calamari that is renowned for his piloting skills, Nero joined the Dragon Support after being captured by Scholae Palatinae when he made a daring escape from Imperial imprisonment. Nero is very skeptical, but his concentration is fierce in the heat of battle, and his sense of loyalty is radiant towards those who gave him a second chance - House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> ; Meggon Vohokou : A female Human married to Yeldarb Vohokou, she was born and raised on Coruscant. Although short for most humans - standing at a mere 5 foot 2 inches - and despite her seemingly innocent appearance, her abilities with slicing and explosives is invaluable to the Order.<br /> <br /> == Roster ==<br /> === First Class ===<br /> None<br /> <br /> === Second Class ===<br /> ;Impetus : Fang of Prophecy - January 2007<br /> <br /> === Third Class ===<br /> ;Gavan Sykes Mandalore : Fang of Destruction - February 2007<br /> ;Laurus : Fang of Fear - March 2007<br /> ;Exodius : Fang of Aggression - April 2007<br /> ;Siyavash Kaida : Fang of Beauty - May 2007<br /> ;Adam Anderson : Fang of Wisdom - June 2007<br /> ;Syphoc Rilkel : Fang of Spice - July 2007<br /> ;Yeldarb Vohkou : Fang of Swords - August 2007<br /> ;Tra'an Reith : Fang of Fate - September 2007<br /> ;Kalak Ragnose : Fang of Knowledge - October 2007<br /> ;Timbal : Fang of Tenacity - November 2007<br /> ;Anga Salinas : Fang of Ice - December 2007<br /> ;Korroth Karn : Claw of Suffering - Q1 2008<br /> ;Koryn Thraagus : Claw of Callousness - November 2008<br /> <br /> [[Category: Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

<p>Koryn Thraagus: Updating HAD Battleteam template</p> <hr /> <div>{{Organization infobox<br /> |BG1=465600<br /> |BG2=465632<br /> |name=Dragon Seraphim<br /> |image=[[Image:Dragon Seraphim Logo.gif|200px]]<br /> |founder=Veyala Dranok<br /> |leader=<br /> |members=<br /> |headquarters=<br /> |locations=Originally [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]<br /> |founded=3,996 BBY<br /> |reorganized=<br /> |fragmented=3,989 BBY<br /> |dissolved=<br /> |restored=[[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]]<br /> |affiliation=[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]], [[House Acclivis Draco]]<br /> |era=[[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]<br /> }}<br /> The Dragon Seraphim dates back to approximately 3,996 BBY, when members of the Krath cult split away from the original teachings of [[starwars:Aleema Keto|Aleema]] and [[starwars:Satal Keto|Satal Keto]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Origins==<br /> Death Witch Veyala Dranok and a small group of [[starwars:Krath|Krath]] came to feel as though the Order was not to be trusted; betrayal was rife and the Krath came close to internal fighting on many occasions. The sect, originally made up of twelve members, settled on [[starwars:Samaria|Samaria]]. Eventually, the Dragon Seraphim grew to around one hundred members. Whereas the Krath relied solely on the teachings of the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]], the Dragon Seraphim also took the teachings of the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Such teachings, they twisted to fit a darker purpose. The sect developed their own mantra; a twisted hybrid of both the [[starwars:Jedi Code|Jedi Code]] and the [[starwars:Code fo the Sith|Code of the Sith]]: <br /> “Peace exists in distant memories.<br /> Power lies in others’ ignorance.<br /> Knowledge is a subtle strength.<br /> Chaos prevails in victory.” <br /> The Dragon Seraphim never forgot their roots within the Krath Order, however, despite their distrust. The Dragon Seraphim continued to teach subtlety, many of the members becoming skilled assassins, akin to their Krath brothers. Also similar to the Krath, the Dragon Seraphim lusted for knowledge. Unlike the Krath, however, they were aware that knowledge could not win battles alone. They realised the power of the galaxy’s ignorance towards their cult, and strived to keep its existence a secret. <br /> In 3,994 BBY, Dranok was killed when attempting to assassinate a Jedi. Her successor, Jallus Bo’ak, became paranoid that someone was trying to kill him. As such, the Dragon Seraphim became much more nomadic. Records were not kept during this time, and the Dragon Seraphim faded from existence. The date of dissolution is estimated as being around 3,989 BBY, when bodies of many members of the Dragon Seraphim, including Bo’ak, were found brutally murdered; it is presumed that the cult was destroyed through in-fighting. <br /> {|table width=&quot;200&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;float:right; clear:right;border: 1px #642366 solid; background: #000000;-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-topright: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; width: 200; margin-top: -1.4em; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |td colspan=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;-moz-border-radius-topleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-topright: 1em; text-align: center; color: #ffffff; font-variant:small-caps; font-size:12px; background-color: #551A8B; text-align:center;&quot; | '''Acclivis Draco Battleteams'''<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #000000;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Image:Dragon-shield.gif|175px]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #A686D6;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | '''This article is part of a series'''<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Drynwyn's Flame]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Dragon Guard]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Ebon Cloak]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Draco Conspicari]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Crimson Ember]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Dragon Seraphim]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; |<br /> [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Mando'ad Vode]]<br /> |-<br /> | bgcolor={{{bgcolor_value|#4FBD52; colspan=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; text-align: center; background-color: #551A8B; color: #4FBD52; font-size:smaller;&quot;}}} | &lt;br&gt;<br /> |}&lt;noinclude&gt;[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]&lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Veyala Dranok===<br /> Dranok was born in 4,029 BBY on [[starwars:Grizmallt|Grizmallt]]. She was a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]] and discovered by the Jedi shortly after her first birthday. She was taken to the[[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] where her powers were honed. In her late teen years, the Jedi sensed darkness in her and cautioned her against continuing down the path leading towards the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]].<br /> <br /> In 3,997 BBY, Dranok began hearing talk of a Sith cult calling themselves the Krath. Fleeing the Jedi Temple along with two other [[starwars:Padawan|Padawans]] under the cover of night, the trio made their way to the [[starwars:Empress Teta system|Empress Teta system]]. They sought out the Krath and were inducted into the cult. Only a few short months after joining the Krath, Dranok began to notice betrayal was rife; there were few who could be trusted. She was not the only Krath to feel this way, however. Twelve members seceded from the original cult, establishing their own society: the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> The Twelve travelled to Samaria where they established their small society. Over time, Dranok (now going by the title Veyala the Deserter) and the rest of the Twelve gathered around a hundred members to their sect. The Twelve trained their followers in a twisted hybrid of Sith, Krath, and Jedi techniques.<br /> <br /> In 3,993 BBY, Veyala undertook an assassination of a Jedi: her former Master. Her Master attempted to turn her back to the [[starwars:Light side of the Force|Light]]. Having failed to do so, he was forced to kill her.<br /> <br /> ==Dragon Seraphim and Acclivis Draco==<br /> In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]], upon the formation of the [[Order of the Dragon]], mentions of the Dragon Seraphim and its split from the Krath were discovered in manuscripts within the [[Shadow Academy]]. It was decided by then-[[Quaestor]] [[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] that Dragon Seraphim would be incorporated within the Order. It was decreed that, in honour of the original secession, the twelve newest members of the Order would first be inducted into the Dragon Seraphim, the lowest of the system of echelons. <br /> Members of [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] are watched at all times, whether they realise it or not. When a member is deemed worthy by the Quaestor, the potential recruit is ambushed by either the [[House Summit]] or members of the Order of the Dragon. If they successfully fend off their attackers, they are welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim with a secret ceremony. <br /> <br /> ===Ceremony===<br /> The initiate of the Dragon Seraphim is surrounded by the twelve current members and the Quaestor. The Quaestor then steps forward with a small ceremonial blade – the Seraph’s Fang. The eldest member of the Dragon Seraphim is then summoned forth and the palm of his hand cut. The member then holds out their hand, palm down, until a single drop of blood falls to the ground; this symbolises the passing of old blood. The initiate’s palm is then cut and they hold it out, palm up, while reciting the Seraph’s Pledge: <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“''By Dranok’s honour,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I stand before my brothers and my sisters,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Reborn in the name of the Rising Dragon,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''By Dranok’s honour.”''<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Upon completing the pledge, the member is officially welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> While the Order of the Dragon is a purely fictional roster, the Dragon Seraphim was an official unit of Acclivis Draco, once functioning as the House’s only [[Battleteam]]. Conveniently, there are twelve available spots in a battleteam, and twelve months in a year. Anyone inducted into the Order will be placed in the Dragon Seraphim, and the oldest member of the team will be removed, but will unofficially remain in the Order.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Battle Team]][[Category: Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

They realised the power of the galaxy’s ignorance towards their cult, and strived to keep its existence a secret. <br /> In 3,994 BBY, Dranok was killed when attempting to assassinate a Jedi. Her successor, Jallus Bo’ak, became paranoid that someone was trying to kill him. As such, the Dragon Seraphim became much more nomadic. Records were not kept during this time, and the Dragon Seraphim faded from existence. The date of dissolution is estimated as being around 3,989 BBY, when bodies of many members of the Dragon Seraphim, including Bo’ak, were found brutally murdered; it is presumed that the cult was destroyed through in-fighting. <br /> {|table width=&quot;200&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;float:right; clear:right;border: 1px #642366 solid; background: #000000;-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-topright: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; width: 200; margin-top: -1.4em; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |td colspan=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;-moz-border-radius-topleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-topright: 1em; text-align: center; color: #ffffff; font-variant:small-caps; font-size:12px; background-color: #551A8B; text-align:center;&quot; | '''Acclivis Draco Battleteams'''<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #000000;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Image:Dragon-shield.gif|175px]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #A686D6;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | '''This article is part of a series'''<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Drynwyn's Flame]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Dragon Guard]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Ebon Cloak]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Draco Conspicari]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Crimson Ember]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Dragon Seraphim]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #222222;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right:6px; color: #000000; text-align:center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; | [[Mando'ad Vode]]<br /> |-<br /> | bgcolor={{{bgcolor_value|#4FBD52; colspan=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; text-align: center; background-color: #551A8B; color: #4FBD52; font-size:smaller;&quot;}}} | &lt;br&gt;<br /> |}&lt;noinclude&gt;[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]&lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Veyala Dranok===<br /> Dranok was born in 4,029 BBY on [[starwars:Grizmallt|Grizmallt]]. She was a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]] and discovered by the Jedi shortly after her first birthday. She was taken to the[[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] where her powers were honed. In her late teen years, the Jedi sensed darkness in her and cautioned her against continuing down the path leading towards the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]].<br /> <br /> In 3,997 BBY, Dranok began hearing talk of a Sith cult calling themselves the Krath. Fleeing the Jedi Temple along with two other [[starwars:Padawan|Padawans]] under the cover of night, the trio made their way to the [[starwars:Empress Teta system|Empress Teta system]]. They sought out the Krath and were inducted into the cult. Only a few short months after joining the Krath, Dranok began to notice betrayal was rife; there were few who could be trusted. She was not the only Krath to feel this way, however. Twelve members seceded from the original cult, establishing their own society: the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> The Twelve travelled to Samaria where they established their small society. Over time, Dranok (now going by the title Veyala the Deserter) and the rest of the Twelve gathered around a hundred members to their sect. The Twelve trained their followers in a twisted hybrid of Sith, Krath, and Jedi techniques.<br /> <br /> In 3,993 BBY, Veyala undertook an assassination of a Jedi: her former Master. Her Master attempted to turn her back to the [[starwars:Light side of the Force|Light]]. Having failed to do so, he was forced to kill her.<br /> <br /> ==Dragon Seraphim and Acclivis Draco==<br /> In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|26 ABY]], upon the formation of the [[Order of the Dragon]], mentions of the Dragon Seraphim and its split from the Krath were discovered in manuscripts within the [[Shadow Academy]]. It was decided by then-[[Quaestor]] [[RevengeX Palpatine|RevengeX]] that Dragon Seraphim would be incorporated within the Order. It was decreed that, in honour of the original secession, the twelve newest members of the Order would first be inducted into the Dragon Seraphim, the lowest of the system of echelons. <br /> Members of [[House Acclivis Draco|Acclivis Draco]] are watched at all times, whether they realise it or not. When a member is deemed worthy by the Quaestor, the potential recruit is ambushed by either the [[House Summit]] or members of the Order of the Dragon. If they successfully fend off their attackers, they are welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim with a secret ceremony. <br /> <br /> ===Ceremony===<br /> The initiate of the Dragon Seraphim is surrounded by the twelve current members and the Quaestor. The Quaestor then steps forward with a small ceremonial blade – the Seraph’s Fang. The eldest member of the Dragon Seraphim is then summoned forth and the palm of his hand cut. The member then holds out their hand, palm down, until a single drop of blood falls to the ground; this symbolises the passing of old blood. The initiate’s palm is then cut and they hold it out, palm up, while reciting the Seraph’s Pledge: <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“''By Dranok’s honour,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I stand before my brothers and my sisters,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Reborn in the name of the Rising Dragon,''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''By Dranok’s honour.”''<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Upon completing the pledge, the member is officially welcomed into the Dragon Seraphim. <br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> While the Order of the Dragon is a purely fictional roster, the Dragon Seraphim was an official unit of Acclivis Draco, once functioning as the House’s only [[Battleteam]]. Conveniently, there are twelve available spots in a battleteam, and twelve months in a year. Anyone inducted into the Order will be placed in the Dragon Seraphim, and the oldest member of the team will be removed, but will unofficially remain in the Order.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Battle Team]][[Category: Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

He was assigned as a Navigational Officer, a role that he never enjoyed. The first chance he got, Bekar jumped ship by stowing away aboard a freighter. The freighter was bound for Antenora where he joined the [[Scholae Palatinae]] Navy as a Gunner First-Class. His skill was noted during the [[Great Jedi War IX|Unification Campaign]] and he was offered the position of Commanding Officer of the ESC Nyx, an opportunity that he jumped at. <br /> <br /> === Executive Officer ===<br /> Strak Felnix, a human from [[starwars:Dela|Dela]], was born in 7 BBY to a wealthy family. His parents intended him to take over their multi-million credit business, but the appeal was not present in Strak. Fleeing Dela, Felnix became what some would refer to as a “scoundrel”. He would take odd jobs to make ends meet, then wind up gambling his earnings or ‘investing’ in a few bottles at a cantina. One of the jobs that he accepted took him into the Mid-Rim Hutt Space to a planet he had never heard of: [[Judecca]]. Upon landing, Felnix was ‘convinced’ to join the Navy. His superiors never trusted him and were always watching him, which suited Strak as he could show them he was born to be an officer. Eventually, after years of proving his worth, Strak was assigned as the Executive Officer of the ESC Nyx under the direct command of Torn Bekar.<br /> <br /> == Deployment ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Scholae Palatinae OOB]]</div>

Her father managed to get her assigned to a [[starwars:New Republic Defense Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]] [[starwars:Cruiser|Cruiser]] in 15 ABY. She spent the next eleven years in the Defense Fleet moving from ship to ship; slowly moving up the ranks. During a space battle against the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] in 26 ABY, the [[starwars:Frigate|Frigate]] she was aboard was destroyed. She was one of the fortunate few to jettison away in an escape pod. Drifting through space, the pod eventually came to [[Judecca]]. Here, Vran joined the [[Scholae Palatinae]] Navy. She once again rose steadily through the ranks until she claimed the title of Commanding Officer of the ESC Affliction. <br /> <br /> === Executive Officer ===<br /> Like his immediate superior, Pok Arrol felt a natural connection with space.

Arrol eventually found his way to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Dark Brotherhood]], where he agreed to lend his expertise as an officer in the [[Scholae Palatinae]] Fleet.

He has sworn loyalty to [[Clan]] [[Scholae Palatinae]] and has vowed to stay amongst its halls until the day it closes.<br /> <br /> His history is a complex one. He began life on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], born to a well-off family. He was betrayed by them and murdered them. He then became a bounty hunter before opting for a slower life as a humble repairman on [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]]. He was sought out by a distant cousin, Torak Occasus, who sensed the Dark Side within him.<br /> <br /> From a simple meeting, Koryn found his place in the galaxy in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood where he ascended to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight with the help of his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He holds a number of positions and titles within his House and Clan including Rollmaster, Dark Paladin, and Claw of Callousness in the Order of the Dragon.<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look; forget the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. You always held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == Path of the Dragon (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master (30 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled.<br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood (30 ABY) ==<br /> {{quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming to the Clan that Koryn was now a Knight.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War (30 ABY) ==<br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{quote|This trench will be our graves.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained.<br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> {{quote|I’m Koryn Thraagus and I’ll be your captor today.|Koryn to the Jedi Vorlyn Calthar.}}<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> [[image:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captaured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === In The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{quote|Honour and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was no longer distinguishable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins (30 ABY) ==<br /> [[image:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armour presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> [[image:OmenPurple.gif|thumb|120px|left|Koryn's first lightsaber, Shadowstrike]]<br /> Koryn has adequate training in both Makashi and Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber, 'Shadowstrike', always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn appears to be a typical green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but he is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antenna, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, an advantage to them is the ability to pick up lower frequencies with much more ease. They can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. As such, he no longer has sucker-tipped fingers on his left hand. His right hand, however, still has them, and they are a great boon as he can climb quicker than most species and up harsher terrain. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight.<br /> <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth. His senatorial robes are violet, cream, and gold in colour and are woven from [[starwars:Veda_cloth|Veda cloth]] and [[starwars:Aeien_silk|Aeien silk]].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people. Those who have earned his trust have received a great honour.<br /> *Isn't a skilled pilot.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> <br /> Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco<br /> <br /> Dark Paladin of Clan Scholae Palatinae<br /> <br /> Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> *Promoted from [[Initiate]] up through to [[Novice]] in a matter of hours.<br /> *Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> *Passed the Antei Combat Centre Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Koryn is the Apprentice of [[Robin Hawk]] and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> *Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak Mando'a, basic Twi'Leki and is learning Rakatan.<br /> *Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> *Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

He is currently at the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He was helped on his journey to knighthood by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He is currently Journeyman Senator for the House, the Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]], and Commanding Officer of the [[2nd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|2nd Antenora Regiment]] of the [[Legions of Scholae Palatinae]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look. Never remember the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. I always knew you held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe. <br /> <br /> {{quote|You never had the Force as an ally.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;In death I learnt many things.|Koryn and Dreegho in conversation.}}<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == A New Path (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled.<br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Ascendance to Knighthood ==<br /> {{quote|I present my pupil before you for elevation into the ranks of Dark Knights of Scholae Palatinae. He has learnt all I can teach him, he must now go forth and learn what he may for himself|Robin Hawk to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had been summoned to the Audience Chamber on Judecca with no further instructions, but his instincts told him that he would face his destiny on that day. As the great door into the chamber opened, his Master stepped out and motioned for her Apprentice to follow inside.<br /> <br /> Inside, the entire Clan stood waiting for the ceremony to begin. Robin presented her student to Lucien Kaeth and Thran Occasus. Tra’an stepped forwards to induct the Hunter as a Knight of the Clan. Thran presented the new Dark Jedi Knight with the essential components for his [[lightsaber]]. Lucien completed the ceremony by proclaiming to the Clan that Koryn was now a Knight.<br /> <br /> == Great Jedi War ==<br /> === Landing on Antei ===<br /> {{quote|Take out any clankers you see, men.| Captain Kellin to his troops.}}<br /> Koryn had been assigned to accompany the [[2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry|2nd Battalion, 41st Infantry Division, Alpha Company]] of the [[Army of the Iron Throne]]. They descended to the planet aboard a [[starwars:Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport/infantry|LAAT/I]]. Before they had landed, they already encountered resistance; a [[starwars:T3-B_heavy_attack_tank|T3-B Heavy Tank]] was waiting for the landing craft. The pilot easily dispatched the tank allowing the troops a relatively safe disembarkment.<br /> <br /> Two [[starwars:B1 battledroid|droids]] had not been wiped out by the blast from the missiles, and the troops began to rain fire down on them as soon as they left the LAAT/I. Koryn quickly grew impatient and charged the battledroids with his lightsaber drawn.<br /> <br /> The Company had landed about a klick away from the main battle and had to march across the barren landscape of [[Antei]]. No orders had been relayed yet, so the troops set about destroying any droids foolish enough to cross them.<br /> <br /> === Securing the AA Towers ===<br /> {{quote|This trench will be our graves if no help arrives soon.|Captain Jatt Jonzz believing defeat was close at hand.}}<br /> The first set of orders issued to the Clan were to establish a beachhead around the AA towers, which were stopping reinforcements being dropped in. As they were heading north towards the towers, Captain Kellin reported a distress signal from the [[2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry|2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, Charlie Company]]. Koryn gave the order to provide support for 2/2 C Company.<br /> <br /> 2/2 C Company were pinned down in a trench and were being overrun by the droid forces. As three [[starwars:B2_super_battle_droid|B2 battledroids]] joined the fray and all hope seemed lost, Koryn and his Company arrived. With renewed morale, the soldiers from both Companies succeeded in wiping out the attacking forces.<br /> <br /> Both Divisions journeyed to the AA towers and began to slaughter the droids emplaced there. It wasn’t long until the AT-ATs arrived to destroy the towers. All that was left for the various Divisions gathered there was to clean up what few droids remained.<br /> <br /> === To Catch A Jedi ===<br /> {{quote|I’m Koryn Thraagus and I’ll be your captor today.|Koryn to the Jedi Vorlyn Calthar.}}<br /> The next set of orders to arrive from High Command were for the capture of [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]. Captain Kellin and Lieutenant Caleb had little faith in Koryn’s ability to capture a Jedi, so the Rodian took the assignment alone.<br /> <br /> [[image:Vorlyn Calthar.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Vorlyn Calthar, the Jedi captaured by Koryn]]<br /> It had been years since he had been a [[starwars:Bounty_hunter|bounty hunter]], but he found the hunting instinct remained. Koryn headed north where a droid emplacement could be seen on the horizon. Before he arrived at the encampment, he was met by a Jedi. The Jedi originally claimed to be [[Omancor Crask]], the leader of the Jedi forces; Koryn did not need the [[starwars:The_Force|Force]] to see this as a ruse. The Jedi finally admitted his name as Vorlyn Calthar.<br /> <br /> After a long and arduous duel, Koryn succeeded in incapacitating his opponent. However, his Company was not faring as well; they were pinned down by endless waves of battledroids. Lieutenant Caleb saw the cause of the never ending stream: [[starwars:Droid_dispenser|droid dispensers]]. The Lieutenant was about to plant charges on the dispensers when he received orders from [[Arania Lawakiro Palpatine]] to fall back. In her [[starwars:All_Terrain_Scout_Transport|AT-ST]], Arania decimated the dispensers. <br /> <br /> Soon after, Koryn rendezvoused with the troops and Arania. He asked the [[Dark Jedi Master]] Thran’s location so that he could present the Emperor with his prize. Alone he journeyed across the continent of Adas before returning to the soldiers.<br /> <br /> === In The Temple Boyna ===<br /> {{quote|Honour and glory. You deserve it all, my friend.| Koryn to an injured Captain Kellin}}<br /> The final objective given to the Clan was to take back the Temple Boyna. When Koryn and the Company arrived, the battle had already begun inside. Making their way inside, they could see that the number of battledroids was immense; this was the final stand of the Jedi, their last hope of remaining on Antei. The various Battalions inside the Temple, both Iron Throne forces and the battledroids, fought fiercely for their respective Masters. But the Jedi cared little for their army. Foreseeing their defeat, the Jedi sent a wave of Force energy over the battleground. Droids went flying, crashing into Dark Jedi and soldiers. Some were crushed under the weight of the droids.<br /> <br /> Koryn, sensing a comrade in danger, left what remained of his Company to clean up the droids that were left standing. In an antechamber on the upper floor of the Temple, Koryn found [[Draco Maligo]] surrounded by a handful of Jedi. Together, they killed all but one of the Jedi. The last Jedi standing held a certain relaxation about him, which was slightly unnerving. The pair turned on the final Jedi as other Clan members stormed into the room. By the time the Dark Jedi had finished with him, the Jedi was no longer distinguishable.<br /> <br /> The Jedi had been driven from Antei, Omancor Crask had been slain, and the planet once more belonged to the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == The Two Dark Paladins ==<br /> [[image:Dark_Paladin.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Dark Paladin Armour presented to Koryn]]<br /> Following the War, Koryn and Draco Maligo were summoned to the Emperor’s audience chamber. As the ornate wooden doors opened, they were met with the steely gaze of the elite of [[Scholae Palatinae]] – the [[Dark Paladins of Scholae Palatinae|Dark Paladins]]. [[Consul]] Thran Occasus – Emperor and First of the Paladins – inducted them into the Guardians of the Clan for the loyalty shown during the recent War.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> [[image:OmenPurple.gif|thumb|120px|left|Koryn's first lightsaber, Shadowstrike]]<br /> Koryn has adequate training in both Makashi and Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber, 'Shadowstrike', always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn appears to be a typical green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but he is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antenna, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, an advantage to them is the ability to pick up lower frequencies with much more ease. They can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. As such, he no longer has sucker-tipped fingers on his left hand. His right hand, however, still has them, and they are a great boon as he can climb quicker than most species and up harsher terrain. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight.<br /> <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth. His senatorial robes are violet, cream, and gold in colour and are woven from [[starwars:Veda_cloth|Veda cloth]] and [[starwars:Aeien_silk|Aeien silk]].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people.

<p>Koryn Thraagus: </p> <hr /> <div>Koryn Thraagus is the [[Rollmaster]] of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan]] [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He is currently at the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He was helped on his journey to knighthood by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]]. He is currently Journeyman Senator for the House, the Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]], and Commanding Officer of the [[2nd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|2nd Antenora Regiment]] of the [[Legions of Scholae Palatinae]].<br /> <br /> {{Krath charinfo<br /> |image=[[image:Koryn Thraagus.jpg|250px|Koryn Thraagus manipulating six lightsabres with the Force]]<br /> |name= Koryn Thraagus<br /> |homeworld= [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]]<br /> |birth= 7 ABY<br /> |death= Still Alive<br /> |species= [[starwars:Rodian|Rodian]]<br /> |skin= Green<br /> |gender= Male<br /> |hair= None<br /> |eyes= Deep Blue<br /> |height= 1m 68cm<br /> |weight= 67Kg<br /> |cyber= Left arm<br /> |ship= Silver Palar (sold)<br /> |allies= *Torak Occassus<br /> *[[Timbal]]<br /> *[[Robin Hawk]]<br /> *[[Impetus M'Nar Palpatine]]<br /> *[[Kalak Ragnose]]<br /> *[[Tra'an Reith]]<br /> |profession= *Former Bounty Hunter<br /> *Former repairman<br /> *Current Junior Senator for Acclivis Draco<br /> |era= [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]]<br /> |affiliation= *[[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]<br /> *[[House Acclivis Draco]]<br /> |dossier= [[dossier:9761|9761]]<br /> }} <br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look. Never remember the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. I always knew you held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe. <br /> <br /> {{quote|You never had the Force as an ally.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;In death I learnt many things.|Koryn and Dreegho in conversation.}}<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == A New Path (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Rise of a Roll Master ==<br /> Koryn was told by Kalak Ragnose to meet him at a cave on [[Antenora]]. He was told no other information except the location of the cave.<br /> <br /> The Rodian stumbled through the cave and eventually came upon Kalak. The Aedile turned towards him as he approached. Kalak accused the Rodian of conspiring against the House Summit. With a flick of his finger, the Aedile sent Koryn flying into the chasm with a simple display of telekinesis.<br /> <br /> As he reached the bottom of the chasm, Koryn's descent slowed and he landed without too much damage to his body. As he pulled himself up, he heard a lightsaber ignite; A green glow enveloped the area. Three blaster rifles also clicked as a Wookiee howled.<br /> <br /> Koryn ignited his own lightsaber, casting a violet glow that mixed with the green. He charged forward and sliced the heads off the soldiers. The Wookiee roared and engaged the Rodian in a duel.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee hit Koryn over the head with a shaggy paw, sending him flying against the wall. Koryn attempted to climb to his feet and continue the battle, but the impact almost knocked him unconscious. The Wookiee approached him, picked him up, and slung him over his shoulder. He then climbed out of the chasm and placed the Rodian at the Aedile's feet.<br /> <br /> The Wookiee, revealed himself to be Laurus, bowed to the Aedile and left. A droid was summoned over and held Koryn up. Kalak revealed the battle to be a test and announced Koryn as Roll Master of House Acclivis Draco.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> [[image:OmenPurple.gif|thumb|120px|left|Koryn's first lightsaber, Shadowstrike]]<br /> Koryn has adequate training in both Makashi and Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber, 'Shadowstrike', always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn appears to be a typical green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but he is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antenna, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, an advantage to them is the ability to pick up lower frequencies with much more ease. They can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. As such, he no longer has sucker-tipped fingers on his left hand. His right hand, however, still has them, and they are a great boon as he can climb quicker than most species and up harsher terrain. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight.<br /> <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth. His senatorial robes are violet, cream, and gold in colour and are woven from [[starwars:Veda_cloth|Veda cloth]] and [[starwars:Aeien_silk|Aeien silk]].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people. Those who have earned his trust have received a great honour.<br /> *Isn't a skilled pilot.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> <br /> House Acclivis Draco Journeyman Senator.<br /> <br /> Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> *Promoted from [[Initiate]] up through to [[Novice]] in a matter of hours.<br /> *Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> *Passed the Antei Combat Centre Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Koryn is the Apprentice of [[Robin Hawk]] and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> *Can speak Rodese and Basic.

He can also speak basic Twi'Leki and is learning Mando'a.<br /> *Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> *Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

Despite that, the new Regiment has performed well, tested in the crucible of combat against the Yuuzhan Vong.<br /> <br /> ===The Yuuzhan Vong Disaster===<br /> <br /> The Regiment was still running unit integration exercises when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the [[Cocytus System]]. After some initial confusion, the Legions of the Regiment quickly regrouped, although at the expense of losing well over an entire company of troops within the 46th Legion as they bought time for the rest of the Regiment to re-deploy. The heavy 47th Legion fixed the Yuuzhan Vong in place while the 48th Legion used their superior mobility to strike the main enemy formation from the flank, despite their antiquated equipment. However, the battle was largely a stalemate until the 45th, using ancient LAAT/i’s, used an air assault maneuver to drop right on top of the Yuuzhan Vong command structure. This action decimated the 45th, but the confusion amongst the enemy ranks allowed the other Legions enough time to push through, destroying the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong force that were facing them and fighting their way to relieve the rest of the 45th.<br /> <br /> Once in command of the field of battle, they got back in contact with the remnants of the other two regiments based on Antenora, and coordinated with the [[3rd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|3rd Antenora Regiment]] to engage one of two remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces in the area. Since the 3rd Regiment had sustained extremely light casualties, they took point, with the 2nd providing backup and flank security until the Yuuzhan Vong were pushed off the planet.<br /> <br /> ===Operation: Reclamation===<br /> <br /> The Yuuzhan Vong still threatened other planets in the system, however. Since the 2nd had been seriously mauled during the assault on Antenora, they stayed behind along with the 3rd to ensure that Antenora remained clear of any enemy forces.<br /> <br /> ==Training==<br /> <br /> As a defensive regiment with a secondary offensive strikes role, the 2nd Regiment tries to balance out both combat assignments. With terrain playing a critical role for the [[Kraken Regiment]] in their fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, the 2nd is spending a lot of time surveying the planet for defensible points they can use in defensive operations. With such heavy casualties, especially amongst the 45th Legion, the Regiment is in the process of training up tons of new recruits to standard. Along with the new troops, they are starting to get shipments of state-of-the art equipment and weapons to increase their combat power. The Regiment also is the host of the main ground force training battalions, where they are responsible for the training of all ground forces going to the other two regiments stationed on Antenora.<br /> <br /> ==Command==<br /> <br /> Unlike the Kraken Regiment, the 2nd Antenora Regiment reports directly to the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. The Quaestor deploys the Regiment as they see fit, and is usually deployed around key civilian and industrial areas. There is always a ready battalion, which duty is rotated amongst all of the Legions in the Regiment. This ready battalion is able to deploy anywhere within four hours on planet, and able to join up with any task force within the same time frame for any mission outside the system.<br /> <br /> <br /> =Legions of the 2nd Antenora Regiment=<br /> <br /> === 45th Infantry Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Nightmare Wolves <br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 45th Legion, nicknamed Nightmare Wolves, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment. As the primary infantry formation in the Regiment, it is tasked with providing the Antenora ground forces with infantry troops to provide reinforcements for other armored and assault Legions in the Regiment. They also specialize in riot duty, enemy populace suppression, and urban warfare. The ground forces training facility is also run by the 45th. The 45th is currently stationed on Antenora. In times of declared war, the Legion serves as the primary security force to the Regiment, provide reconnaissance data via heavy long-range patrols, and the rapid assault or capture of enemy outposts.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 46th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Ice Swan<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 46th Legion, nicknamed Ice Swan, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment.

The 46th is currently stationed on Antenora, with many detachments always assigned to other Legions in varying support roles. In peacetime, the Legion is probably the busiest in the entire Regiment, as many of their support units can effectively ply their trade in peacetime as well in many civilian applications. In times of declared war, the Legion serves to support the other Legions as best they can.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 47th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Athena<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 47th Legion, nicknamed Athena, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment.

The 47th is currently stationed on Antenora. In times of war, the Legion is the fast-response unit, able to quickly shore up any weak spots in the line or vertically envelope critical targets behind enemy lines in interdiction roles.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 48th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Knights of the Sword<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 48th Legion, nicknamed Dracona, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment.

His father wanted him to take over the farm when he was old enough. But Garax never considered himself a farmer; the work bored him immensely. He frequently argued with his father on the matter, insisting that his younger brother should take over.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, Garax ran away from his family and enlisted in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Army|New Republic Army]]. He served in the [[starwars:Galactic_Alliance_Special_Forces|Galactic Alliance Special Forces]] for 3 years. He rose quickly through the ranks but felt that his talents were unappreciated and went AWOL in 29 ABY.<br /> <br /> Garax found his way to Antenora and joined the [[2nd Antenora Regiment - Scholae Palatinae|2nd Antenora Regiment]]. Shortly after joining the Regiment, Garax single-handedly took out an entire regiment of [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] troops after seeing his allies killed by their hands. This caught the attention of his superiors and he rose through the ranks to Major.<br /> <br /> Upon gaining the rank of Major, he was assigned as Executive Officer of the Regiment, serving under the direct command of Koryn Thraagus during times of war.<br /> <br /> ==Choice of Weapons ==<br /> === [[starwars:EE-3_carbine_rifle|EE-3 Carbine Rifle]] ===<br /> Garax modified his EE-3 carbine by switching it from the standard 3-round semi-automatic to a fully-automatic model. He has also fitted it with a chamber to allow for an increased shot capacity.<br /> <br /> === [[starwars:DC-15s_side_arm_blaster|Dual DC-15s Side Arm Blasters]] ===<br /> As the DC-15s does not run out of ammunition, Garax feels it is the best choice of firearm. Although it does not excel at rate of fire or damage, Garax feels that dual-wielding it gives him a significant advantage.</div>

The Regiment also is the host of the main ground force training battalions, where they are responsible for the training of all ground forces going to the other two regiments stationed on Antenora.<br /> <br /> ==Command==<br /> <br /> Unlike the Kraken Regiment, the 2nd Antenora Regiment reports directly to the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. The Quaestor deploys the Regiment as they see fit, and is usually deployed around key civilian and industrial areas. There is always a ready battalion, which duty is rotated amongst all of the Legions in the Regiment. This ready battalion is able to deploy anywhere within four hours on planet, and able to join up with any task force within the same time frame for any mission outside the system.<br /> <br /> <br /> =Legions of the 2nd Antenora Regiment=<br /> <br /> === 45th Infantry Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Nightmare Wolves <br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 45th Legion, nicknamed Nightmare Wolves, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment. As the primary infantry formation in the Regiment, it is tasked with providing the Antenora ground forces with infantry troops to provide reinforcements for other armored and assault Legions in the Regiment. They also specialize in riot duty, enemy populace suppression, and urban warfare. The ground forces training facility is also run by the 45th. The 45th is currently stationed on Antenora. In times of declared war, the Legion serves as the primary security force to the Regiment, provide reconnaissance data via heavy long-range patrols, and the rapid assault or capture of enemy outposts.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 46th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Ice Swan<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 46th Legion, nicknamed Ice Swan, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment. It is tasked with providing the Clan with support and reinforcement troops for other armored and assault Legions in the Regiment. As such, the bulk of the Regiment's anti-air, artillery, combat engineering, psychological warfare, and other support units are stationed with the 46th. The 46th is currently stationed on Antenora, with many detachments always assigned to other Legions in varying support roles. In peacetime, the Legion is probably the busiest in the entire Regiment, as many of their support units can effectively ply their trade in peacetime as well in many civilian applications. In times of declared war, the Legion serves to support the other Legions as best they can.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 47th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Athena<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 47th Legion, nicknamed Athena, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment.

The 47th is currently stationed on Antenora. In times of war, the Legion is the fast-response unit, able to quickly shore up any weak spots in the line or vertically envelope critical targets behind enemy lines in interdiction roles.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === 48th Assault Legion ===<br /> {{CSP legion<br /> |nickname=Knights of the Sword<br /> |image=<br /> |commander= TBA<br /> |description=The 48th Legion, nicknamed Dracona, is assigned to the 2nd Antenora Regiment.

He is currently at the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He is the apprentice of [[Robin Hawk]], Journeyman Senator for the House, and the Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look. Never remember the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. I always knew you held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe. <br /> <br /> {{quote|You never had the Force as an ally.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;In death I learnt many things.|Koryn and Dreegho in conversation.}}<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == A New Path (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> <br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> [[image:Koryn's lightsaber.jpg|thumb|120px|left|Koryn's first lightsaber, Shadowstrike]]<br /> Koryn has adequate training in both Makashi and Soresu; he feels that having training in Forms of both offense and defense is the best tactic in battle. Koryn's lightsaber, 'Shadowstrike', always hangs at his belt, making him ready for combat at a moments notice.<br /> <br /> == Profile ==<br /> <br /> === Appearance and Clothing ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn_robes.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Koryn seen wearing robes of fine silks and Tyrian cloth]]<br /> Koryn appears to be a typical green skinned Rodian. Standing at 1.68m, he appears short to the average human, but he is average height and weight for his species. His eyes are a deep blue in colour, but in a bright light they appear to be a much lighter hue. As is typical of the species, Koryn can see into the infrared spectrum. His antenna, which sit atop his head, are extremely sensitive to high frequency sounds, which can be a disadvantage. However, an advantage to them is the ability to pick up lower frequencies with much more ease. They can even judge the approximate direction that a sound is coming from. His left arm was cut off many years prior and was replaced with a cybernetic model. As such, he no longer has sucker-tipped fingers on his left hand. His right hand, however, still has them, and they are a great boon as he can climb quicker than most species and up harsher terrain. Koryn also has a small scar above his upper lip which was caused a few years ago in a bar fight.<br /> <br /> Koryn can often be found wearing robes, either his Krath robes or elegant robes made from silk and Tyrian cloth. His senatorial robes are violet, cream, and gold in colour and are woven from [[starwars:Veda_cloth|Veda cloth]] and [[starwars:Aeien_silk|Aeien silk]].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Strengths and Weaknesses ===<br /> <br /> ==== Strengths ====<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> ==== Weaknesses ====<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people. Those who have earned his trust have received a great honour.<br /> *Isn't a skilled pilot.<br /> <br /> == DJB Facts ==<br /> === Positions Held ===<br /> <br /> House Acclivis Draco Journeyman Senator.<br /> <br /> Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]]<br /> <br /> === Outstanding Achievements ===<br /> *Promoted from [[Initiate]] up through to [[Novice]] in a matter of hours.<br /> *Placed first overall in the Dark Tides events earning himself an [[Anteian Cross]], a [[Crescents|Crescent]] with Ruby Star, and five Crescents with Amethyst Stars.<br /> *Passed the Antei Combat Centre Initiates Qualification first time without competing in a training battle.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Koryn is the Apprentice of [[Robin Hawk]] and former Apprentice of [[Xathia]].<br /> *Can speak Rodese and Basic. Koryn speaks Basic extremely fluently for a Rodian as he does not lisp any syllable. He can also speak basic Twi'Leki and is learning Mando'a.<br /> *Koryn is right handed, which is lucky due to his cousin's betrayal of cutting off his left arm.<br /> *Due to his Rodian heritage, Koryn is very aggressive. However, due to his grandfather's influence, he is also a keen academic and hopes to balance his level of aggression with his intelligence.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:DJB Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Clan Scholae Palatinae]]</div>

He is currently at the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]] and working hard to achieve the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. He is the apprentice of [[Robin Hawk]], Journeyman Senator and [[Rollmaster]] for the House, and the Claw of Callousness in the [[Order of the Dragon]].<br /> <br /> == A Rodian's History ==<br /> {{quote|The future is where we should look. Never remember the past.|Koryn's philosophy on the past.}}<br /> <br /> === A Good Life ===<br /> Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the [[starwars:New_Republic_Defense_Fleet|New Republic Defense Fleet]]; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk... <br /> <br /> Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.<br /> <br /> === Searching ===<br /> {{quote|I knew you'd be the one to find me. I always knew you held grudges. They're dead aren't they?|Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] and [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]], to [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]] and [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]]. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.<br /> <br /> === A Bounty Hunter's Life ===<br /> {{quote|Death is the price we must all pay for life.|Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> [[image:Koryn bounty hunter.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter]]<br /> When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old [[starwars:Dc-15a|DC-15A blaster rifle]], a relic from the [[starwars:Clone_wars|Clone Wars]] and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of [[starwars:Pazaak|Pazaak]]. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story. <br /> <br /> Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutts]]. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite hunter for them.<br /> <br /> === It's Just Business ===<br /> [[image:Onderon Shop.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Koryn's Shop on Onderon]]<br /> Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep and pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: &quot;As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed.&quot; Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.<br /> <br /> === A Meeting And A Betrayal ===<br /> {{quote|Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it.|Torak Occassus to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to [[starwars:Nar_Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]]. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of [[starwars:Juma_juice|Juma Juice]] at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.<br /> <br /> Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: &quot;Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime.&quot; Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.<br /> <br /> == A Place in the Galaxy ==<br /> Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of [[Antei]], the Brotherhood's home planet.<br /> <br /> === Finding Darkness ===<br /> When Koryn arrived on [[Antei]], he made his way to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He was welcomed by the [[Master At Arms]], [[Kraval Novir]] and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into [[House Acclivis Draco]] of Clan [[Scholae Palatinae]]. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of [[Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine]]. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the [[Apprentice]] whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of [[Novice]].<br /> <br /> Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...<br /> <br /> == Returning Home (29 ABY) ==<br /> Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by [[Aedile]] [[Tra'an Reith]]. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, [[Robin Hawk]] on the journey.<br /> <br /> Upon landing at [[starwars:Kuat_City|Kuat City]], Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of [[starwars:Borcatu|Borcatu]]. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms. <br /> <br /> === Visions ===<br /> {{quote|Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed.|Robin Hawk to Koryn.}}<br /> <br /> When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe. <br /> <br /> {{quote|You never had the Force as an ally.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;In death I learnt many things.|Koryn and Dreegho in conversation.}}<br /> <br /> His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.<br /> <br /> === The Master and the Apprentice ===<br /> <br /> {{quote|You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we ''let'' you know.|Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.}}<br /> <br /> Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle. <br /> <br /> Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. Koryn collapsed from the exertion but in his barely conscious state, he heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.<br /> <br /> When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.<br /> <br /> == A New Path (29 ABY) ==<br /> [[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his [[starwars:Comlink|commlink]] and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.<br /> <br /> Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.<br /> <br /> Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.<br /> <br /> The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “[[Tra'an Reith|Tra’an]]? [[Kalak Ragnose|Kalak]]?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.<br /> <br /> Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”<br /> <br /> == A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==<br /> A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar. <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [[starwars:Chiss|Chiss Expansionary Defense Force]] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.<br /> <br /> === A Pearl in Space ===<br /> [[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]<br /> Eventually, the shuttle came upon [[starwars:Csilla|Csilla]]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.<br /> <br /> The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[starwars:Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [[starwars:Turbolift|turbolift]] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.<br /> <br /> === Inside the Library ===<br /> The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.<br /> <br /> The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.<br /> <br /> Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [[starwars:SG-4_blaster_carbine|SG-4 blaster carbine]]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.<br /> <br /> === Targets ===<br /> The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.<br /> <br /> Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.<br /> <br /> The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.<br /> <br /> When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> <br /> None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.<br /> <br /> === Grandfather ===<br /> [[image:Gleevor.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus]]<br /> Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on [[starwars:Rodia|Rodia]] in [[starwars:68_BBY|68 BBY]]. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In [[starwars:51_BBY|51 BBY]], he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours. <br /> <br /> After graduating, Gleevor travelled to [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]]. He set up his business in [[starwars:Sal%27kaasa|Sal'Kaasa]], a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of [[starwars:Lessu|Lessu]]. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.<br /> <br /> Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 [[starwars:Credits|credits]] a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.<br /> <br /> Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the [[starwars:Landspeeder|speeder]], Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage. <br /> <br /> In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born. <br /> <br /> Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.<br /> <br /> A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.<br /> <br /> In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.<br /> <br /> === Grandmother ===<br /> Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in [[starwars:64_BBY|64 BBY]] on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.<br /> <br /> At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.<br /> <br /> Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.<br /> <br /> Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.<br /> <br /> Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.<br /> <br /> In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.<br /> <br /> When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: &quot;He was Bantha poodoo,&quot; he had said. &quot;He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him.&quot; Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.<br /> <br /> After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.<br /> <br /> The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he &quot;tamed&quot; her.<br /> <br /> In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... ''different'' to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.<br /> <br /> In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.<br /> <br /> A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.<br /> <br /> ==== Jera ====<br /> {{quote|Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion.|Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.}}<br /> [[image:Rodian Clan War.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war]]<br /> Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.<br /> <br /> By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.<br /> <br /> === Father ===<br /> Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.<br /> <br /> Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.<br /> <br /> In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.<br /> <br /> At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.<br /> <br /> In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.<br /> <br /> In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.<br /> <br /> ==== Drex ====<br /> While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.<br /> <br /> === Mother ===<br /> As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.<br /> <br /> Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.<br /> <br /> In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.<br /> <br /> At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.<br /> <br /> In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.<br /> <br /> In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.<br /> <br /> [[image:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.]]The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.<br /> <br /> In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.<br /> <br /> === Brother ===<br /> Born in 5 BBY Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the New Republic Naval Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant. He was a relatively unknown officer but helped the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] greatly in many battles. Little else is known about Luxor, except of his death at the hands of Koryn in 22 ABY.<br /> <br /> == Choice Of Weapons==<br /> <br /> ===DC-15A Blaster Rifle===<br /> [[image:DC 15A Blaster Rifle.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle]]<br /> Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a [[starwars:Clones|Clone]] [[starwars:General|General]].<br /> <br /> Although heavier than the more common [[starwars:E-11|E-11 Blaster Rifles]], Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Vibroblade=== <br /> [[image:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade]]<br /> While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from [[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]], which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from [[starwars:Chalon|Chalon]] and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in [[starwars:Tyrian_cloth|Tyrian Cloth]], a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.<br /> <br /> ===Lightsaber===<br /> Koryn only has a basic training with a [[starwars:Lightsaber|Lightsaber]]. However, he is becoming more proficient in using it. He is currently only proficient in [[Form Zero]] but he also has very basic training in [[Shii-Cho]]. As a habit, the lightsaber hangs from his belt at all times.<br /> <br /> == Strengths and Weaknesses ==<br /> <br /> === Strengths ===<br /> *Has trained with many weapons in his life, both ranged and melee.<br /> *Loyal.<br /> *Hard working.<br /> *Never gives in.<br /> *Agile.<br /> *He is a skilled repairman.<br /> *He is an excellent tracker/hunter.<br /> *Due to Rodians' sucker-tipped fingers, Koryn can climb quicker and with more ease than most other species.<br /> *As with all Rodians, Koryn can see into the infra-red spectrum.<br /> <br /> === Weaknesses ===<br /> *Sometimes lacks faith in his own Force abilities.<br /> *Anger will sometimes cause him to make rash decisions.<br /> *Left (cybernetic) arm sometimes causes him a sharp, stinging pain.<br /> *As Rodians exude a musky aroma, Koryn finds it hard to disguise his whereabouts as easily as other species.<br /> *Weak in comparison to some species.<br /> *Koryn is slow to trust people.

Koryn Thraagus
