'''Anaxela Goura''' is the older sister of [[Macron|Macron Goura]]. She is cruel, self centered and mean. Anaxela is also a powerful Force-sensitive and considers herself a Sith witch of sorts. In later life Anaxela became the leader of the third and final remnant of the [[True Brotherhood]]. She is now the de-facto leader of the [[Gomorag]] cult with [[Rex Drayfus]] as her second.

== Origins ==
She was born approximately 15 BBY. Both she and Macron are reputed to be genetic "vat-grown" synthetic Humans. Somewhere in their genetic ancestry is rumored to be the fearsome [[starwars:Darth_Malak|Darth Malak]], explaining the sibling's connection to the Force although this is unconfirmed. She is also ruthless and evil, like her brother. As well, her body is resilient and tough, resisting poisons and diseases much like Macron's does. She is also mentally unstable although she controls it with more experience than her brother does. Although dedicated to her brother, after her defeat at the hands of Clan Naga Sadow she despises him.

The young Macron learned how to hurt people from her, as well as rudimentary Force skills. They survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness.
The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib_Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft. Anaxela had been a working lady, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. They both needed the money to escape the dregs of Coruscant. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.

== Abilities ==
Apparently, Anaxela is a Force user of great power and maintains an unusual view of the Force. Her Force abilities are comparable to a Prophet, and she reputedly studied with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tund#Sorcerers_of_Tund Sorcerors of Tund] before the planet was destroyed. She may also have studied with the [[starwars:Fallanassi|Fallanassi]], but this is unconfirmed. [[File:TIED.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Scalpel]]
The woman is known to have extensive tactical knowledge as well. She now uses a lightsaber and has powerful mental domination/mind trick abilities. Her mastery of illusions runs deep, perhaps beyond what one would expect from a person with her understanding of the Force.

== Combat Training ==
Anaxela Goura has had extensive combat training at the hands of Mecrosa assassins. Anaxela has been rumored to fly a modified TIE Defender named the "[[Scalpel]]". Anaxela will also use droids occasionally, the most common being YVH series droids and protocol droids.

She is an expert in the art of Shadowstep, and is known to use traditional assassin tools such as garrotes. Although she is highly proficient with a [[Lightsaber|lightsaber]] and practices the [[Vaapad]] style, she had been known to be proficient with the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] which she stole from the planet Thule. Reputedly, the sword is an artifact from the time of Marka Ragnos. It has now come into the possession of Clan Naga Sadow after Anaxela's defeat.

== Sightings ==
She has been spotted on Ilum as well as [[Kyataru]]. Rumors abound that she has collaborated with the [[True Brotherhood]] and may have designs upon the [[Orian system]]. It is also rumored she may have an association with [[starwars:Set_Harth|Set Harth]], but this could be another one of the rumors that surround this mysterious and powerful woman.

After fleeing to [[Kangaras]], the vengeful Anaxela bided her time and reformed a group of Dark Jedi around her known as the [[Gomorag]]. In late 37 ABY the cult began to infiltrate the city of [[Seng Karash]] in search of information leading to [[Ombi]], [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] and [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] ruins on the planet in the area of the [[Nifokalija Mountains]].
The cult was destroyed by the agents of Clan Naga Sadow, and Anaxela herself was rumored to have been killed although this remains unconfirmed.

'''Weapons''': Lightsaber (red), garrote, blaster pistols or rifle, martial arts

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[EL3|Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 27-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''27 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 30 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and Sith War droids. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check.

{{Quote| War brings out many reactions in people.The question is how will you react when things get rough? |Mor'ra Tel Versea}}

'''Tasha’Vel Versea''' is a former [[Obelisk]] Assassin in Clan [[Naga Sadow]], currently serving [[House]] [[Marka Ragnos]]. She worked hard to push herself, studying in the Shadow Academy and training rigorously beneath her former Master Marcus Kiriyu. As she grew up, she came from a family that expected her to uphold the family’s honor by walking the footsteps of a warrior. Never desiring to be held back by others, Tasha tends to shy away from crowds and groups, preferring to work alone- at least when she is not acting in her proper office. She seeks to gain further honor for her family and to improve her battle techniques. This desire extends to her House and Clan as well as her family.

Tasha excels in martial arts training and specializes in combative telekinesis. One of her early missions was to assassinate a person stealing documents about her clan’s plans for the different house squadrons. While successful it came with a price. For a time she was hunted the shuttle owner, until the heat finally blew over. This acted as the first step in a long walk from the Dark Side to a more moderate position. In time, she would even start to edge, if not completely cross over toward the Light.

As for her assassination skills, because of her warrior-like spirit, Tasha prefers up close and personal. Never backing out from a fight, she likes to taunt her enemies into getting close proximity before deliver fatal strikes from her Katranin training and her echani blade. Due to her training with Marcus, she has learned how to better calm herself during battle and observe her opponents for weaknesses. Because of her ability to calm herself, Tasha was able to teach a young upstart [[Bentre Stahoes|Corellian]] to think twice before attempting to fight her again. She also proved to him that even if she lost the match, she was no pushover.

==Biography==
=== Trials of an Obelisk===
====Early Life====
[[image: kala'din.png | thumb | 350px | right | A city on her home planet of Ryloth]]
She was a [[starwars:twi'lek|Twi’lek]] born on [[starwars:Ryloth|Ryloth]] to Twa’kel and Rey’va Versea at the Versea estate. During her younger years, she usually was found listening intently to her grandfather, Mor’ra Tel’s war stories of his days helping the echani battle against each other in a Civil War. She made sure to finish each of her chores so she could visit with her grandfather and hear more about his heroic deeds.

As she turned ten, Tasha discovered that if she concentrated hard enough, she could make small objects wiggle and move a bit. Happy at the discovery, she ran to her grandfather and showed him. This was how it was discovered that Tasha was [[starwars:force-sensitive|Force sensitive]]. As she turned into a teenager, tragedy struck. Her beloved grandfather was dying from an illness the doctors could not figure out. As he lay on his bed, He spoke to Tasha pleading for her to take his old echani vibroblade and seek out the Dark Priests that could assist her with developing her telekinesis power.

With a heavy heart, Tasha promised she would set out to become a fighter just like her grandfather and protect her grandfather’s blade. After discussing her choice with her parents, they sent her to a nearby dark temple for training. For six years, Tasha developed her force skills until she was eighteen. Through her dark priest connections, they told her to seek out the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in the [[Antei system]]. Thrilled at the possibility of becoming the best fighter, Tasha used her earnings from home to board a shuttle to the Antei system.

====Joining the Brotherhood====
When she arrived, Tasha was placed into the house [[Marka Ragnos]] of Clan Naga Sadow to start her training. As she began her journey through the ranks, it brought attention to an Dark Jedi knight named Marcus Kiriyu. He saw much potential in having a student who was self-driven and disciplined that he took her as his new apprentice. In their first meeting, Tasha even challenged him then later after a good thrashing from her master quickly learned that she needed much more training.

Marcus began teaching her how to focus her mind to become stronger in her telekinetic power and showed her how to work with an armory lightsaber. Soon she learned how to move quickly and efficiently to deliver deadly strikes to her opponents. She not only learned how to combat effectively, but even studied for a time in the shadow academy learning about philosophy, cultures, and some of the history of the Dark Jedi brotherhood.

====Journey to Knighthood====
When she became a guardian, Tasha had to put her skills to the test against a human named Bentre Stahoes. Both were equally matched in battle, but due to Bentre’s quick feet and spur of the moment lekku-pulling Tasha lost the match. However she did teach the egotistical human a lesson in respect, with Bentre losing a hand before Tasha fell unconscious. From this fight, came a strong rivalry between the two and they began to compete against each other to reach higher ranks within the brotherhood. At the time she could not have known what this would eventually develop into.

Soon both became Jedi hunter through their efforts. During this time, her hard work also earned her a place in the [[Order of the Black Guard]] as protector to [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]], one of the leaders in Marka Ragnos. As part of her leadership traning, Sanguinious thought it best for her to assist the new Battle team leader [[Armad]]. Tasha now has been training extensively in piloting and seeks out to help better her house Marka Ragnos and Clan Naga Sadow in her new position as [[Sergeant (battle team)|Battleteam Sergeant]] of the [[Night Raptors]].

As the Battle Team Sargeant to the Night Raptors, Tasha began training up her piloting skills and assisting House Marka Ragnos with some of their projects. After a month of working diligently on her physical and mental skills, Tasha took the test and passed to become a Dark Jedi Knight. During this time, she fought once more against her rival, [[Bentre Stahoes]] and showed him just how much more powerful she had become. Because of their intense rivalry, it began to spark a high regard and respect for each other. A couple more months went by and Tasha eventually took a young apprentice by the name of Rayan Ortesh. She hopes that she can instill a warriorlike spirit within her young apprentice and train him to be a future fighter for Clan Naga Sadow.

===From Darkness to Light===
==== Tasha's Change of Path====
[[image: CNS_trio_sst_1.png|left| thumb|250px|Scarlet, Sanguinius and Tasha'vel, circa Awakenings]] As she ascended into knighthood, Tasha felt that her calling of Obelisk was not helping her to gain the strength she wanted to achieve. Because of this, she felt weak and inferior. So it was then she turned to [[Maelous Ascarend]] for some guidence on becoming a [[Sith]] Maurader. Soon she began to train under a new path and felt the dark side fuel her passion for strength. Thus Tasha became an even deadlier force with a now more focused mind and body. As she continued to train, she was also introduced to [[Macron Goura Sadow]], who as of now has begun to help train Tasha in the Echani Martial Arts style of fighting.

==== Awakenings ====
With a sudden presence threatening the Clan Naga Sadow, the clan had split into three sides and forced her to make one of the most difficult decisions in her life. Because of her strong sense of family and wanting to protect them, Tasha'Vel choose her former master Marcus's side to help aid him in the overcoming Locke's and Vexatus's forces. As she was sent out to gather rare crystals for Marcus, she had to face many of her fellow Sadowans. During that fight, she went toe to toe with an Anzat named [[Darkblade]] and even helped convince [[Scarlet]] to join her side. Though she fought hard, the Anzat managed to overpower her and tried to feed on her "soup." It was at that moment that her grandfather's spirit who had always been with her, sacrificed himself to the Anzat so she would be protected. This sacrifice hurt Tasha so deeply that she fell deeper into the darkside of the force and vowed to have revenge for what Darkblade had done to her. After the events had taken place, she still continues to seek vengeance for her grandfather's huge sacrifice.

==== Ashes Fall ====
After the event's from Awakenings, shaken a bit with the clan's decision of splitting, Tasha'Vel was able to come to terms with the loss of her grandfather's spirit and forgive her Quaestor [[Sanguinius Tsucyra]] for abandoning her. It was a rough start, but the clan once again came together to fight against the Progenitor and his droid armies. During the fight, [[Atra Ventus]] gave his life to save the clan, which helped to start a slow healing process for [[Naga Sadow]]. Because of this hardship, it has drawn Tasha a bit closer towards the light and now she follows a gray path. Following the events of Ashes Fall, Tasha worked more to help Marka Ragnos maintain its glory and service to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Her leadership and drive brought her into the role of Aedile. Real, she sought to prepare for wars to come.

==== Tasha'Vel's New Apprentice and A Wedding ====
As she stepped into her new role of Aedile, Tasha also took on a Zabrak apprentice called [[Quo-Wing-Tzun]]. Having shown him some of the finer points to fighting in close combat, she decided to test his strength. Unfortunately due to Quo using terror, this prompted Tasha into a fight response that severely maimed him, however due to her quick thinking, Tasha was able to get him to the medics in time before he died. This event has caused her to now question her emotions and further actions.

As time had gone by, Tasha grew closer to her former rival Bentre Stahoes and began to work alongside him to help quell his inner demons. As they occasionally fought each other as well as talk over lunches and dinner, she began to develop feelings towards this Corellian. After awhile of trying to shrug off the feelings and not being able to do so, Tasha decided to marry and share her life with Bentre Stahoes. Soon the two were married in [[starwars:Jasshi'rr|Jasshi'rr]] on her home planet, Ryloth and for a time were happy. She hopes that this happiness will continue, but with the current events this blissful feeling could be short-lived.

====Becoming the New Quaestor====
After working hard alongside her previous Quaestor, Sanguinius, it was decided by the Naga Sadow Summit that Sanguinius had been chosen to become the new proconsul of Naga Sadow. Because there was also now an opening for Quaestor, Locke decided it was in best interest for Tasha to become the New Quaestor for House Marka Ragnos. As she stepped into the new position, she now seeks someone to fufill the role of Aedile.

===An Order and a Choice===
[[File:Tasha'Vel Body.jpg| 250px | thumb | frame | Tasha'Vel during the War against the Dominion]]
==== Dominion====
It was a trying and hard time as the Clan came together to take on the Dominion. The Dominion is an organization made up of humans and different alien species. As they posed a threat to Naga Sadow, Tasha was sent out with Sang, Tarrhyyn, Macron, Jade, and Macron's apprentice. As they fought their way through the Skyhook to capture the dignitary, several members were badly injured. Grandmaster Muz Ashen came to the rescue near the end and was able to get most of the crew back to safety. Unfortunately, Tasha and Tarrhyyn were separated from the group and had to get away by an escape pod. As numerous Trandoshan and Khaleesh soldiers stormed in to get to them, Tarrhyyn made a huge sacrifice and threw Tasha into the pod, closing it and sending it off into space. The Twi'lek watched the Wookie go down in one final battle as the pod jettisoned into space. Shortly after being released from the Skyhook, she was picked up by her comrades.

After the whole ordeal, Tasha gave a mandatory week vacation for everyone in Marka Ragnos to rest and regain their strength. During this time, she took it upon herself to make a memorial for her fallen Aedile and placed him next to her grandfather's grave in the beautiful gardens of the Versea Estate.

Soon she came across an interesting individual by the name of Ophelia. Seeing this lady's determination, strength, and adaptability, Tasha decided to make her the new Aedile to replace Tarrhyyn. Also during this time, Tasha took on Firith'Rar Versea Stormwind as her new Blackguard. Now with the Dominion weakened, She went with Locke, Ophelia, and Bentre to convince the locals of Agua'Tah to join them and crush the rest of the Dominion's forces on the planet.

=== Bentre's Incarceration===
As Bentre was dealing with matters in House Shar Dakhan, she was informed that He had stabbed the Quaestor in a fit of madness. Because this was considered by all means treason, Tasha had no choice, but to lock him up in the holding cells on the Versea Estate on Ryloth. Currently, he is locked away under her brother's watch.

===Introduction to Zachary===
Upon returning back to the Markosian CIry, Tasha was met by a man seeking knowledge. He had traveled a far distance, following the visions of the planet Tarthos. He claims to have sense of urgency that summoned him to Tarthos. Knowing that this man could be helpful to the Clan, Tasha directed him to Sanguinius for further assistance. Only time will tell if his questions he seeks are answered.

===Stepping Down===
After serving for six months as a Quaestor, Tasha began to have doubts about the recent events with Naga Sadow and felt it was good to take some time away. She spoke with the Naga Sadow Summit and walked away from leading Marka Ragnos for a time. During the search for a new leader, Muz Ashen returned to lead Marka Ragnos as the new Quaestor in rebuilding Kar Alabrek with the Aedile Riku serving under him. Darkhawk was then placed as the new battleteam leader for the Night Hawks. With the rebuilding, Tasha hopes that this new place will serve to keep Marka Ragnos steadfast with the future conflict to come.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|thumb|216px|right|Tasha's Black Guard Armor]]She is a Twi'lek with sapphire skin and jagged stripes tattooed down her lekku. Her emerald eyes seem to pierce through opponents as she analyzes them before she attacks. She is a little taller for her race's average height and light on her feet. Due to her training, she is also extremely fit. When she is not wearing her blackguard armor, she usually wears her typical obelisk tunic, cloak, belt and pants. Tasha almost always is seen carrying her [[starwars:vibroblade|vibroblade]] at her left side with a blaster hidden on the right by her cloak. Along with those weapons, she carries a red crystal lightsaber on the left clipped to her belt.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[EL3|Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 27-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''27 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 30 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and Sith War droids. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[EL3|Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 27-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''27 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 30 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and Sith War droids. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Last Breath Mine

The '''Temple of Fire''', casually known by the members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] as the '''Last Breath Mine''' because of the high mortality rate of its workforce, was one of the [[Temples of Orian]] constructed around the central [[Palace of Orian]]. In [[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] the Clan discovered a large baradium deposit beneath the ruins and erected a small mining base atop the ruins.

==History==

The Temples of Orian were constructed over five thousand years ago during the reign of [[starwars:Marka Ragnos|Marka Ragnos]] in the days of the old [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]]. The temples were positioned in a heptagram around the central palace. Each temple was devoted to one of the seven tenets of the [[Final Way]]. Through focusing the power of the dark side through the temples [[Urias Orian]] hoped to make himself immortal.

Today most of the temples lie in ruin and the Palace of Orian utterly destroyed. The Temple of Fire was almost completely destroyed when the Clan first searched through the ruins. Rather than repair the original structure, the Clan erected a small prefabricated base on top of the rubble. To take advantage of the ongoing war with the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] the Clan decided against installing a formal outpost as part of [[Dlarit Corporation#Mining|Dlarit Mining]]. Instead, loyalist forces from the [[Dlarit Security Force]] were assigned to the outpost and instructed to enlist the "help" of the [[Seprosians|natives]], forcing them into labour within the dangerously radioactive mines. The baradium was subsequently sold on the black market for a gross profit.

Since the reorganisation of the DSF in the early part of [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]] the Temple of Fire has been overseen by soldiers from the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]] instead of the regular Dlarit Security Force.

==Description==
The mine remains one of the Clan's best kept secrets. The operation is personally overseen by the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Chairman|Chairman]] and the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#President|President]]. Everything from thermal detonators to proton torpedoes needs baradium to operate and, fortunately, the Clan has the perfect site with an abundance of the dangerous mineral.

The site is an interesting geologic anomaly and produces a plethora of unusual minerals. The mine produces most of the baradium required by the clan. Other minerals are occasionally encountered as oddities. Curiously, while cortosis has rarely been encountered on [[Sepros]], this mine reputedly produced a small amount in the ancient past for Urias Orian, however none has been found in recent times. Some blue and red [[starwars:Adegan crystal|Adegan crystals]] have been found here but most were mined long ago by Urias Orian's followers. The raw materials are shipped elsewhere within the system for refinement. Most of the waste material ends up being dumped on [[Gamuslag]].

Apart from the D-SOG overseers, the actual workforce is made up of slaves collected from the native [[starwars:Human|Human]], [[Ekind]] and [[starwars:Wookiee|Wookiee]] tribes. Due to the highly hazardous and radioactive nature of raw baradium, the life expectancy of any particular worker is relatively low, thus the mine being unofficially dubbed the "Last Breath Mine".

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 27-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''27 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 30 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 27-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''27 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''26 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 24-25 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''26 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 24 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''26 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 24 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 23 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''26 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 22-23 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 23 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 23 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''26 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 23 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 23 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''26 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 26 ABY]]

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 6 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 10 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 12 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 14-16 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 18 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 19 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 19-20 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 20-21 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 21 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 23 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Alien Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several alien warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the alien invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the alien invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew alien invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 23 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 25 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''25ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]].

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of alien biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the alien biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the alien warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the alien escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two alien giants to destroy each other first. Naga Sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 26-30 ABY ===

'''26 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''27 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''28 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''29 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''30 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 31 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 32 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 33 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 34 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 33 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three dark and bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after [[Anaxela]] and her forces were beaten at [[Mucenic]] and the ancient [[stawars:Kwa|Kwa]] fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive [[starwars:baradium|Baradium]] deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his only real family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three bloody stints as Consul. He had done his best. The Clan prospered, grew in power,and survived under his leadership but unlike many Sith he had no stomach for intrigue.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after Anaxela and her forces were beaten at Mucenic and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive baradium deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/members/10407|Warden Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar] led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over [[Sepros]]. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the [[Iron Throne]]. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new [[Grandmaster]] deeply disgusted Macron. The Sith felt no compassion but he saw wasted loyal subjects and resources as an inefficient waste of valuable and knowledgeable talent.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former [[Shadow Academy]] staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of [[starwars:Mynock fever| Mynock Fever]]. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults. The SA staff members were returned to Naga Sadow space and debriefed.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]]. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of [[Inos Moon 42]] the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of [[starwars:Adegan|Red Adegan]] had been found on rare occasions and sent to the [[Dark Council]] for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red [[starwars:pontite|Pontites]] to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of [[Urias Orian]] existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into [[Sith Alchemy]] and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the [[Nachzerer]] to Level Thirteen’s labs under the [[Cenota Facility]] on [[Gamuslag]].

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to [[Inos Moon 42]] and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focusing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the [[Night Hawks]] brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster [[Muz Ashen]] called and the madman accepted gladly with a warrior's heart. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in [[House Ludo Kressh]] or the later-formed [[House Shar Dakhan]]. [[House Marka Ragnos]] excited him. It was time for something new, a wonderfully violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging to be sure. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams and [[Sokan]] masters in the Clan’s history promised to be incredibly interesting. Violence was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===
[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three bloody stints as Consul.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after Anaxela and her forces were beaten at Mucenic and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive baradium deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. Sanguinius led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over Sepros. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the Iron Throne. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new Grandmaster deeply disgusted Macron.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former Shadow Academy staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of Mynock Fever. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the Tombs of Urias Orian. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of Inos Moon 42 the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of red Adegan had been found on rare occasions and sent to the Dark Council for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red Pontites to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of Urias Orian existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into Sith Alchemy and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the Nachzerer to Level Thirteen’s labs under the Cenota facility on Gamuslag.

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to Inos Moon 2 and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focussing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the Night Hawks brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster Ashen called and the madman accepted gladly. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in House Ludo Kressh or the later-formed House Shar Dakhan. It was time for something new, a violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams in the Clan’s history promised to be wonderfully interesting. Battle was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY === [[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three bloody stints as Consul.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after Anaxela and her forces were beaten at Mucenic and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive baradium deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. Sanguinius led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over Sepros. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the Iron Throne. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new Grandmaster deeply disgusted Macron.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former Shadow Academy staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of Mynock Fever. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the Tombs of Urias Orian. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of Inos Moon 42 the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of red Adegan had been found on rare occasions and sent to the Dark Council for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red Pontites to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of Urias Orian existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into Sith Alchemy and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the Nachzerer to Level Thirteen’s labs under the Cenota facility on Gamuslag.

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to Inos Moon 2 and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focussing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the Night Hawks brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster Ashen called and the madman accepted gladly. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in House Ludo Kressh or the later-formed House Shar Dakhan. It was time for something new, a violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams in the Clan’s history promised to be wonderfully interesting. Battle was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===

Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call to Macron Goura Sadow as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul had been no different. In times of conflict the Alchemist's firm hand and military aggression were needed. The Clan’s foes had been defeated and the Orian system’s military and industrial infrastructure solidly increased after his last term. However once peacetime (such as it were) inevitably returned the Clan lost interest in such an insane and occasionally brutal leader. The feeling was mutual. The Clan would always be his family but outright leadership was something Macron was deeply tired of after three bloody stints as Consul.

The mantle of leadership chafed heavily on the Adept’s shoulders and interfered with his primary goals- research and improvement as an Sith warrior and scientist. Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own personal goals shortly after Anaxela and her forces were beaten at Mucenic and the ancient Kwa fortress of Installation Seven partially explored.[[ Locke Sonjie]], the Usurper returned to control of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] with Macron’s blessing this time.

The period of rest did not last long. Early in 39 ABY a group of Red Fury pirates attempted to attack the Clan’s holdings while simultaneously attacking [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Macron eagerly joined a group of Naga Sadow operatives including [[Bentre Stahoes]], [[Daedric Turelles]], [[Robert Sadow]], Battlemaster Scithe, and [[Shi Long]]; the group spearheaded an attack on the Red Fury moon base of Atlas Station.

Macron found himself fighting alongside [[Kell Dante]] in the engagement. The two Elders put a grisly end to a heavily entrenched mortar position that had befuddled their compatriots. Macron launched a direct frontal assault typical of a Juggernaut, and Kell Dante used the distraction to flank the mortar crew and tear them to pieces. The two earned a grudging respect for the other’s methodologies. The pirate horde was summarily broken not long after by the combined efforts of both Clans. Several pirates were taken to the [[Cenota Facility]]’s Level Thirteen for interrogation by the madman and were never seen again. Rumors abounded that the biomass vats in the facility were well-filled shortly thereafter.

Some few months thereafter a massive schism within Clan Naga Sadow began to brew. Visions in the Force indicated that fragments of the Star of Ombus had been located. Macron joined Team Alpha, nominally pledging his allegiance to the faction that Marcus led to find the Shards. He did not trust Locke the Usurper, or his former Sith Master [[Xanos Sadow]].

However, the Alchemist’s own goals remained hidden at first. The Sith intended to see that the Shards were recovered and either destroyed or hidden away so that they could not corrupt people as they had [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Macron had seen the wasting madness that the Ombus relics had induced in Caerick after studying with him briefly. The Alchemist did not want this mantle of disturbing sickness to fall upon any of his Clan-mates regardless of their faction in Operation “Awakenings.” He was successful in recovering at least one Shard and saw to it that it was destroyed, thus preventing any of the factions from recovering them all. Macron also took a personal interest in [[Tasha'Vel Versea]] and instructed her in the finer points of Echani at this time.

Subsequently a pack of droids controlled by unknown masters landed on Sepros directly over a massive baradium deposit. Droids of never-before seen designs began to attack and kidnap people on [[Sepros]] and the Clan took immediate action. The crash landing of the Progenitor droid ship uncovered entrances to catacombs beneath the surface. Sanguinius led a crack team of Dark Jedi down into the catacombs to stop the droids as enemy ships attacked and a battle raged in the space and skies over Sepros. The [[Quaestor]] of [[House Marka Ragnos]] enlisted Macron on his team both for the Sith’s strength of arms and his knowledge of Sith architecture and language. The team discovered a conversion facility in the tunnels where the droids had been taking sentients and melding their flesh with machinery to make cyborg servants. The facility was demolished, but not before Macron absconded with as much information as he could glean about these fascinating flesh-melding methods.

Almost immediately thereafter Macron traveled to the ruins of the former [[Shadow Academy]] with a team of Clan Naga Sadow strike operatives to “purge” the Academy of “undesirables.” Macron had been tapped as a Chief Inquisitor and had inside knowledge of the [[Inquisitorius]]’ operations in the area. Sanguinius led the team; the mission was a strange amalgamation of aims between the Jedi and the Sith. Macron had no intent of killing those who were former loyal servants of the Iron Throne. These beings had been loyal servants, had worked hard, and had served the Brotherhood as a whole. They were valuable resources and their callous, wasteful, and disrespectful treatment at the hands of the new Grandmaster deeply disgusted Macron.

Sanguinius’ aims were altogether more altruistic. Although the Jedi nauseated the Sith, together they found a common goal. The team managed to rescue a group of former Shadow Academy staff hiding within the deeper chambers of the edifice. Macron used his skills with medicine and biochemistry to cure them of Mynock Fever. The sick staff had presumably contracted the infection by the proximity of so many asteroids in the Antei System and, of course, mynocks. The team broke out of the ruins and escaped with many scrolls, books, and other valuable data storage items that were secretly returned to enrich the Clan’s vaults.

The madman then took a sabbatical from combat after the adventure at the ruins of the former Shadow Academy. It was time again to delve into his favorite place- the black womb, the cauldron of self discovery- into the Tombs of Urias Orian. In this Dark Side site the Sith could remove his armor in the deepest levels and feel the dank air on his pale flesh. He yearned to face the occasional shambling horrors and test his prowess against the lurking monstrosities within. In some strange way this black place was a grail that allowed him to keep his mind intact and hone his skills to a sharp edge against the coming days. Force of arms and self-reliance knitted his shattered mind and eased the voices in his head. Death did not find him down below and the Sith continued his sojourn in the stygian gloom for many weeks.

While adventuring deep in the guts of Inos Moon 42 the madman sought more than just personal self-discovery. He sought useful gems. Crystals of red Adegan had been found on rare occasions and sent to the Dark Council for use in their Armory lightsabers. Some had been sought and used by Clan Naga Sadow’s Dark Jedi to create their own weapons. Macron sought two for himself this time- perfect red Pontites to serve as a secondary power generator crystals in his main lightsaber blades. This would allow for dual-phase operation of both lightsabers once they were properly attuned. He was successful in his quest.

Macron then delved down into the Tombs and the mine shafts below them to deeper levels than anyone had gone in recent times. What the Sith found was astonishing. The remains of a synthetic crystal forge from the time of Urias Orian existed more than a mile down. The forge was unfortunately corroded and largely inoperable. As well, no power source existed so far down to operate the ancient machine. However, a few time-resistant parts, hoary old scrolls, and crumbling schematics proved to be most useful to Macron’s researches into Sith Alchemy and the Force manipulation of crystal structures. These artifacts were carefully removed and flown in the Nachzerer to Level Thirteen’s labs under the Cenota facility on Gamuslag.

The Alchemist proceeded to experiment successfully using tiny red Adegan grains harvested from the Tombs to create synthetic bloodshine crystals with his own forge. Judging the initial experiment a success, the complicated equipment was then removed, packed up, and transported to Inos Moon 2 and the Tombs below. Upon the painstaking reassembly of the modern baradium-powered forge the Adept experimented on synthetic crystals as well as tainting other nova crystals, focussing lenses, and armor plating. Using the Dark Side and the unholy stain that lingered in the Force he met with limited but encouraging success. This work consumed many weeks.

The reformation and recommissioning of the Night Hawks brought Macron out of the glooms and his chthonic reverie. Grandmaster Ashen called and the madman accepted gladly. Most of Macron’s time in Clan Naga Sadow had been spent in House Ludo Kressh or the later-formed House Shar Dakhan. It was time for something new, a violent change of scenery. Service to his old ally and mentor would be challenging. Combat alongside one of the most hallowed battle teams in the Clan’s history promised to be wonderfully interesting. Battle was gleefully inevitable and the madman could again test his mettle and new toys against challenging foes. The Alchemist could hardly wait to begin.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Not long after the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was assumed the mantle of Consul again and was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

These forces were eventually beaten. Macron finalized his contribution to the [https://lightsaberguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Lightsaber Combat Guide] and primary authorship of the [https://alchemyguide.darkjedibrotherhood.com| Dark Jedi Brotherhood Alchemy Guide] at this time.

=== Stepping Back 39 ABY ===

Macron absolved himself of Clan leadership and returned to his own studies and personal goals shortly thereafter. Clan Naga Sadow seemed to call him as a leader in times of war and desperation; his third stint as Consul was no different. (more soon)

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it was in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can occasionally be unpredictable and violent, especially when confronted about his synthetic nature or lack of a genetic family. This has become less frequent with his ascension to Adept. His piloting skills of transports are adequate but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented. Truth be told, he is not a great pilot of starships and relies on droids and compatriots in such situations. He does speak cryptically, giggle, and say odd things however especially when tapping farsight and other perceptive based force powers.

Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]] in the past he had no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He regrets his cavalier attitude towards mass death to this day and considers the many dead as wasted resources and potential allies. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check. The Sith is seldom (if ever) seen without armor and weapons on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] at their request. Such dealings often have unforeseen unpleasant consequences for the subject beyond the requested modifications.

'''San Korinar''', also known as the '''Amphor Colony''' or the '''Cloud City''', is the primary settlement for [[Amphor]] and its surrounding moons while it operates as the secondary local for mining within the [[Orian system]] after [[Seng Karash]] on [[Aeotheran]]. Initial construction of the colony began in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY#21 ABY|21 ABY]] and was completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY#23 ABY|23 ABY]], in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]] the platform was utilized by pirates in league with [[The Organisation]] and saw heavy damaged that threated complete destruction of the colony. With the threat to the Corporation's finances looming, the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]] commissioned a full repair and refit for the colony to ensure the city would become more profitable for the Corporation.

The projected scope of the new city would be much larger than previously anticipated to support a larger workload for the Gas Mining within the atmosphere and from the planet's surrounding moons. With construction crews still strained from the work at [[Kar Alabrek]] and [[Kel Rasha]], the estimated completition for the entire city is 44 ABY.

== Historical Details ==
[[Image:AmphorColony.jpg|thumb|left|San Korinar before its attack.]]
San Korinar holds a population roughly a third that of the principle city of Seng Karash. Floating in the clouds of the gas planet of Amphor, the workers of the sky city harvest the atmosphere for various raw gases, which are then refined in the city before being exported to other systems, predominantly in the nearby [[starwars:Corporate Sector|Corporate Sector]]. A number of smaller mining outposts have also been established on the Amphoran moons, with mining teams being shuttled out from San Korinar to work shifts.

Due to its location just off the [[starwars:Hydian Way|Hydian Way]], during the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong War]] the Orian system was forced to accept many thousands of refugees, most of whom were assigned to the cloud city in order to maintain the high standards of [[Seng Karash]]. While initially the best efforts were made to accommodate the first waves of refugees, as the war worsened the [[Dlarit Corporation]] was soon faced with more pressing military concerns and the protection of the system as a whole, and so the colony was left to run wild with criminality becoming abundant.

It was not until the [[Dlarit Security Force]] was decimated in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Battle of Antei]] and the [[Invasion of Orian]] in [[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]] that the corporation began to take the growing problems of San Korinar seriously. Desperate for new personnel, a [[Prefect (Dlarit Corporation)|military governor]] was assigned to bring the colony back under control and efforts began to enlist those old enough to bear arms in the Dlarit Security Force.

==History==
When the Orian system was first designated to be the future home of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] following the [[Exodus]] the initial funding went toward constructing the primary mining city of [[Seng Karash]] on [[Aeotheran]] and the military base of [[Kar Alabrek]] near [[Alabrek Castle]] on [[Tarthos]].

[[Image:amphormap.jpg|thumb|right|Map of the old San Korinar]]
Initially a number of small mines were set up on some of the planet's moons with the workforce shuttling back and forth from Seng Karash each day. These outposts, such as the one found on [[Amphor Six|Amphor 6]] contained the bare minimum with all luxuries and living accommodation remaining on Aeotheran. As time went on Amphor's treasures started to appear more lucrative and construction of San Korinar began in 21 ABY and was completed in early 23 ABY.

After the outbreak of the Yuuzhan Vong War in [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|25 ABY]] the Orian system was soon forced to take in refugees from nearby systems which had fallen to the extragalactic invaders. Though work was done to expand the borders of Seng Karash, San Korinar was chosen to house the majority of the refugees.

Although the colony began as a grand venture the strain on the Dlarit Corporation's purse strings started to be felt with the growing number of refugees arriving. Life on San Korinar became mean and short. The city had been forced to grow at an alarming pace and generally became rather ugly, the architecture being purely functional without the thought going into the design that had gone into Seng Karash on Aeotheran.

With the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]] at the same time as the influx of refugees the [[Clan]] was forced to turn a blind eye to many of the problems developing on the colony. By [[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] there was little in the way of law and order and the lower levels had become home to Orian system's criminal elements with gambling dens where errant miners went to lose their pay on a regular basis. A number of refugees turned to crime, with streetwalkers and gang members preying on the honest workmen. Homicide started to become common and a suicidal jump down into the crushing gases of Amphor became the only way out for many.

The situation on San Korinar did not improve during 27 ABY with losses during the Battle of Antei and the Invasion of Orian costing the Dlarit Security Force more men than it could afford and the colony remained a low priority. It was not until the turn of the year the Dlarit Corporation finally began taking the situation seriously and with the new fleet arriving in early [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]] men were needed who could not all be found in Seng Karash.

With construction ongoing on Tarthos to rebuild Kar Alabrek and men needed to restore the Dlarit Security Force to fighting condition since most of the veterans had already been transferred to the newly formed [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]], San Korinar became seen as the solution to the corporation's problems. There were many refugees itching to get back in the action, eager to take the fight to the Yuuzhan Vong for having taken away their homes, and there was a mining colony the Dlarit Corporation wanted cleaned up.

The corporation installed [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Marshal Commander|Marshal Commander]] [[Xanos Zorrixor]] as military governor to clean up the colony. Members of the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]] were assigned to shadow the [[Dlarit Police]] and bring an end to the criminality infesting the cloud city. With the governor spending much of his time supervising construction efforts for the [[Temple of the Void]] on [[Sepros]], he had little time to tolerate insubordination or observe citizens' rights. For the better part of the next year, Zorrixor instituted a period of near martial law, granting the Special Ops teams full leave to take what action they deemed necessary, and left [[Delta-30]] to supervise much of the day-to-day running with military precision and tenacity.

With the governor's disappearance at the start of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]], the colony began to fall back into its old ways, particularly with the ever growing influx of refugees from worlds left devastated by the war. A new crime wave hit the city, and once more San Korinar has become a hive of scum and villainy, leaving Seng Karash to shine as the one true jewel of the Orian system.

[[Image:SanKorinarConstruct.jpg|thumb|left|Construction of a wing of San Korinar.]]
The city once again fell into the shadows, largely forgotten by the Corporation outside of the resources it continued to provide until word that Pirates had taken control of large districts of the Colony. Acting swiftly, the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]] sent in strike teams composed of [[Disciples of Sadow]] to eliminate the threat. While much of the information pertaining to the mission has been conflicting, the tale told from the city itself speaks of incredible damages; explosives destroying repulsorlifts meant to keep the colony aloft causing the most havok for the Corporation.

Understanding the risks of losing the colony, the Board acted swiftly and commissioned a reconstruction effort for the Colony in addition to an expansion for increased productivity. Plans were drawn up for the new city and construction began immediately despite the Disciples of Sadow being called away for the [[Great Jedi War#GJW X|Invasion of New Tython]], the Corporation's need for these additional resources driving the construction crews to move at a hurried pace.

== Layout ==
With a larger footprint that it previously maintained, as well as the larger populous the colony now maintains, the city of San Korinar has undergone a rather striking transformation. As a "Cloud" or Sky City, San Korinar's resurrection had to ensure the city would have less of an impact on its own resources to ensure less traffic to and from the city while minimising its own costs. As such, the city is powered primarily through solar and wind solutions with redundant fusion generators should either of its primary systems fail. Outside of its need for power, the city does maintain a rather large hydroponic facility of its own to try and reduce the import of foodstuffs.
[[Image:SanKorinarMine.jpg|thumb|right|A mining platform for [[Amphor]].]]

=== Public Core ===
Trying to take much greater care of its populous, the designers of the reborn San Korinar decided upon a focus on the comfort of home without taking large swaths of unavailable land. With towering skyscrapers housing the colonists while parks and other recreation centres allow for the public to enjoy their time upon the City.

Ostensibly a low-life scummy cantina, this is actually a Clan Naga Sadow controlled mission and staging point for the Amphor areas and San Korinar in general. The location avoided the general destruction during the re-taking of San Korinar and has become a local hangout for scoundrels, pirates, mercenaries, and disreputable types. The holovids of sports shown by the bar are slightly old, the drinks cheap and strong, and the local "color" is very interesting. The bartender is actually a Zeltron female mercenary who works for Clan agents, and even she does not know that the Black Guard and Brotherhood agents are her immediate employers. Clan members who look for solace in these sort of places are often found here, either in disguise or in a darkened booth.

=== Corporate Wing ===
In keeping with their new design plans, the designers decided to separate the Corporate sectors from the Public. As this section would gain the greatest traffic they built San Korinar's largest spaceport onto this wing. The Dlarit corporation has a large presence, taking up most of the space along with a small TEAD Technologies outpost. This wing is easily reached from the Public Core so that the comforts of home are always accessible.

=== Industrial Wing ===
San Korinar is primarily a gas refinery, it was with this knowledge that the designers came to terms with the Industrial wing. Entirely closed off from the Public core this wing houses Dlarit's mining infrastructure. The separation was made for both security reasons and to keep the "industry" out of the "home". The majority of Dlarit's workforce can be found here in the form of droids and refineries.

=== Maintenance Auxilary ===
Composing the main body of the platform keeping the city itself aloft, the maintenance auxiliary is a series of maintenance chambers and corridors comprising the colony's power generation and hydroponic facilities. As the repulsorlifts maintaining the city's altitude can be accessed through the auxiliary, the region is heavily regulated by the Corporation and security is tight. Dlarit Police and Special Operations officials constantly patrol the auxiliary in addition to having several division headquarters located within to ensure swift deployment to different parts of the city.

=== Mining Platforms ===
As the city itself was enhanced and expanded, care went into the surrounding mining platforms as well. To help increase the productivity of the city, these platforms themselves were upgraded and expanded for swifter collection of the local gases while avoiding consuming all the resources in the area.

'''San Korinar''', also known as the '''Amphor Colony''' or the '''Cloud City''', is the primary settlement for [[Amphor]] and its surrounding moons while it operates as the secondary local for mining within the [[Orian system]] after [[Seng Karash]] on [[Aeotheran]]. Initial construction of the colony began in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY#21 ABY|21 ABY]] and was completed in early [[20 ABY to 29 ABY#23 ABY|23 ABY]], in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]] the platform was utilized by pirates in league with [[The Organisation]] and saw heavy damaged that threated complete destruction of the colony. With the threat to the Corporation's finances looming, the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]] commissioned a full repair and refit for the colony to ensure the city would become more profitable for the Corporation.

The projected scope of the new city would be much larger than previously anticipated to support a larger workload for the Gas Mining within the atmosphere and from the planet's surrounding moons. With construction crews still strained from the work at [[Kar Alabrek]] and [[Kel Rasha]], the estimated completition for the entire city is 44 ABY.

== Historical Details ==
[[Image:AmphorColony.jpg|thumb|left|San Korinar before its attack.]]
San Korinar holds a population roughly a third that of the principle city of Seng Karash. Floating in the clouds of the gas planet of Amphor, the workers of the sky city harvest the atmosphere for various raw gases, which are then refined in the city before being exported to other systems, predominantly in the nearby [[starwars:Corporate Sector|Corporate Sector]]. A number of smaller mining outposts have also been established on the Amphoran moons, with mining teams being shuttled out from San Korinar to work shifts.

Due to its location just off the [[starwars:Hydian Way|Hydian Way]], during the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong War]] the Orian system was forced to accept many thousands of refugees, most of whom were assigned to the cloud city in order to maintain the high standards of [[Seng Karash]]. While initially the best efforts were made to accommodate the first waves of refugees, as the war worsened the [[Dlarit Corporation]] was soon faced with more pressing military concerns and the protection of the system as a whole, and so the colony was left to run wild with criminality becoming abundant.

It was not until the [[Dlarit Security Force]] was decimated in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Battle of Antei]] and the [[Invasion of Orian]] in [[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]] that the corporation began to take the growing problems of San Korinar seriously. Desperate for new personnel, a [[Prefect (Dlarit Corporation)|military governor]] was assigned to bring the colony back under control and efforts began to enlist those old enough to bear arms in the Dlarit Security Force.

==History==
When the Orian system was first designated to be the future home of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] following the [[Exodus]] the initial funding went toward constructing the primary mining city of [[Seng Karash]] on [[Aeotheran]] and the military base of [[Kar Alabrek]] near [[Alabrek Castle]] on [[Tarthos]].

[[Image:amphormap.jpg|thumb|right|Map of the old San Korinar]]
Initially a number of small mines were set up on some of the planet's moons with the workforce shuttling back and forth from Seng Karash each day. These outposts, such as the one found on [[Amphor Six|Amphor 6]] contained the bare minimum with all luxuries and living accommodation remaining on Aeotheran. As time went on Amphor's treasures started to appear more lucrative and construction of San Korinar began in 21 ABY and was completed in early 23 ABY.

After the outbreak of the Yuuzhan Vong War in [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|25 ABY]] the Orian system was soon forced to take in refugees from nearby systems which had fallen to the extragalactic invaders. Though work was done to expand the borders of Seng Karash, San Korinar was chosen to house the majority of the refugees.

Although the colony began as a grand venture the strain on the Dlarit Corporation's purse strings started to be felt with the growing number of refugees arriving. Life on San Korinar became mean and short. The city had been forced to grow at an alarming pace and generally became rather ugly, the architecture being purely functional without the thought going into the design that had gone into Seng Karash on Aeotheran.

With the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Brotherhood Civil War]] at the same time as the influx of refugees the [[Clan]] was forced to turn a blind eye to many of the problems developing on the colony. By [[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] there was little in the way of law and order and the lower levels had become home to Orian system's criminal elements with gambling dens where errant miners went to lose their pay on a regular basis. A number of refugees turned to crime, with streetwalkers and gang members preying on the honest workmen. Homicide started to become common and a suicidal jump down into the crushing gases of Amphor became the only way out for many.

The situation on San Korinar did not improve during 27 ABY with losses during the Battle of Antei and the Invasion of Orian costing the Dlarit Security Force more men than it could afford and the colony remained a low priority. It was not until the turn of the year the Dlarit Corporation finally began taking the situation seriously and with the new fleet arriving in early [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]] men were needed who could not all be found in Seng Karash.

With construction ongoing on Tarthos to rebuild Kar Alabrek and men needed to restore the Dlarit Security Force to fighting condition since most of the veterans had already been transferred to the newly formed [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]], San Korinar became seen as the solution to the corporation's problems. There were many refugees itching to get back in the action, eager to take the fight to the Yuuzhan Vong for having taken away their homes, and there was a mining colony the Dlarit Corporation wanted cleaned up.

The corporation installed [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Marshal Commander|Marshal Commander]] [[Xanos Zorrixor]] as military governor to clean up the colony. Members of the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]] were assigned to shadow the [[Dlarit Police]] and bring an end to the criminality infesting the cloud city. With the governor spending much of his time supervising construction efforts for the [[Temple of the Void]] on [[Sepros]], he had little time to tolerate insubordination or observe citizens' rights. For the better part of the next year, Zorrixor instituted a period of near martial law, granting the Special Ops teams full leave to take what action they deemed necessary, and left [[Delta-30]] to supervise much of the day-to-day running with military precision and tenacity.

With the governor's disappearance at the start of [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]], the colony began to fall back into its old ways, particularly with the ever growing influx of refugees from worlds left devastated by the war. A new crime wave hit the city, and once more San Korinar has become a hive of scum and villainy, leaving Seng Karash to shine as the one true jewel of the Orian system.

[[Image:SanKorinarConstruct.jpg|thumb|left|Construction of a wing of San Korinar.]]
The city once again fell into the shadows, largely forgotten by the Corporation outside of the resources it continued to provide until word that Pirates had taken control of large districts of the Colony. Acting swiftly, the [[Dlarit Corporation Ranks and Titles#Board of Directors|Board of Directors]] sent in strike teams composed of [[Disciples of Sadow]] to eliminate the threat. While much of the information pertaining to the mission has been conflicting, the tale told from the city itself speaks of incredible damages; explosives destroying repulsorlifts meant to keep the colony aloft causing the most havok for the Corporation.

Understanding the risks of losing the colony, the Board acted swiftly and commissioned a reconstruction effort for the Colony in addition to an expansion for increased productivity. Plans were drawn up for the new city and construction began immediately despite the Disciples of Sadow being called away for the [[Great Jedi War#GJW X|Invasion of New Tython]], the Corporation's need for these additional resources driving the construction crews to move at a hurried pace.

== Layout ==
With a larger footprint that it previously maintained, as well as the larger populous the colony now maintains, the city of San Korinar has undergone a rather striking transformation. As a "Cloud" or Sky City, San Korinar's resurrection had to ensure the city would have less of an impact on its own resources to ensure less traffic to and from the city while minimising its own costs. As such, the city is powered primarily through solar and wind solutions with redundant fusion generators should either of its primary systems fail. Outside of its need for power, the city does maintain a rather large hydroponic facility of its own to try and reduce the import of foodstuffs.

=== Public Core ===
Trying to take much greater care of its populous, the designers of the reborn San Korinar decided upon a focus on the comfort of home without taking large swaths of unavailable land. With towering skyscrapers housing the colonists while parks and other recreation centres allow for the public to enjoy their time upon the City.

The saturnian world's dense and frigid atmosphere contains a few helpful compounds but nothing that cannot be extracted from [[Amphor]] and the other planets with greater ease. Inos is a classic icy-cold Gas Giant type planet. It possesses crushing atmospheres of freezing organic gases, Infernal circuit-destroying magnetic fluxes, super-cyclonic moon-swallowing storms, and tremendously intense pressures. The surface of [[Inos]] proper is likely to be metallic hydrogen in flux from the immense pressure, but no probes have survived long enough to verify this directly. Remote sensing surveys indicate truly dense, frigid, conditions. Most of the moons of Inos are nothing more than sub-zero rocks covered in feet of ice and snow.

== History ==
[[File:Inosmoon.jpg|thumb|292px|left|View From an icy Moon of Inos]]
So far from the Inner Worlds of the [[Orian system]], this planetary space has remained largely uninhabited since before the days of the old [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]]. There are rumors that some of the Inos moons may once have been used by [[Urias Orian]] for burial purposes. It would appear that the rumors are true, as [[Inos Moon 42]] has been identified as a former burial site. The Sith Lord Urias Orian condemned this moon to an existence in the "Shadow Side" of his domain. It is also rumored that an old [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] ship fleeing the [[starwars:Hundred Year Darkness|Hundred Year Darkness]] crash-landed on Moon 36.

During the "Unsettled Scores" incident in late 23 ABY the planet or a moon was rumored to be the base of an unknown assassin that later turned out to be [[Kiln Tobasa]]. Subsequent events led to the destruction of the Cathedral on [[Tarthos]] and a minor inter-clan skirmish. The rumors of a base were later seen to be unprovable. However, they were not disproved. Most of the Clan Naga Sadow forces turned away during travel to the planet to protect [[Sepros]], and only a few managed to make it to the surface. [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu|Shin'ichi Endymiron '''Keibatsu''']] was one of those who made it to the main planet's inner layers. Purportedly in pursuit of a high-level military detainee, his actual mission and activities at that time still remain classified by order of the [[Overlord (Naga Sadow)|Overlord]].

In 29 ABY, the Inos area was a site of a ferocious dispute between the two Houses of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], [[House Marka Ragnos]] and [[House Ludo Kressh]]. Rumors of a dark side artifact combined with the machinations of [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] and the acquiescence of the Summit allowed for a scenario that pitted clan-mates against each other to "cull the herd." Known as [[The Battle of Inos]], the rivalry opened into a bloody conflict quickly.

Fierce battles raged in orbit of Inos as the [[RSD Final Way]] and [[ISDII Harbinger]] squared off. As well, battles were fought on land as both Houses raced to reach the prize. Artillery, tanks, clones, and Dark Jedi clashed repeatedly on the arctic surface of [[Inos Moon 18]] over many days while their brethren dueled in space overhead. The conflict was resolved as the Sadowite forces were quickly recalled to repel Emperor's Hammer forces in orbit of the gas giant Inos.

===History===
This moon is a rocky, dry wasteland. Although it has been extensively bombarded with asteroidal strikes, it remains relatively uncratered due to it’s high level of natural tectonic activity. Long ago (around 7,000 BBY) a ship bearing Jedi fleeing from the horrors of the Hundred Year Darkness. This became a minor Light Side site and remained undiscovered until 39 ABY.

==Inos 42==

===History===
This moon once served as a burial ground for [[Sith Lord]] [[Urias Orian]]'s followers. It has remained largely unexplored until early 30 ABY. A team of crack operatives was soon dispatched... to find horrible things.

===Geology===
The underground necropolis known as the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] is a moderate Dark Side site that exists on this cold rocky moon. Given the size of Inos, this moon is nearly as large as some smaller terrestrial planets and retains its own atmosphere. It is warmer than would be expected for a moon so far out in the [[Inos]] planet system. Inos orbits in an almost lock-step to [[Orian Minor]] and may have been the victim of Sith stellar-body manipulation by Urias Orian. The combined tidal stresses and other stellar and planetary effects add considerable thermal energy and significantly affect the moon's environment. As well, the abundant radionuclides in the [[Orian system]] combine to produce an inhospitable planet-sized moon. Inos moon 42 is largely shielded from the worst of [[Inos]] as the gas-giant electromagnetic effects are offset by the planetoid's energetic ionic and magnetic field.

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several crime sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of Death. His Zeltron Sith Apprentice, Aisha Qifaxa[[image:Aishasankorinar.jpg|150px|thumb|Aisha Qifaxa, former Sith Apprentice, 29 ABY]] assisted in the terminations.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Tombs of Urias Orian

2015-02-17T18:16:36Z

Macron Goura Sadow:

==Tombs of Urias Orian==

[[Image:TheImmortal.jpg|thumb|right|Sith Lord Urias Orian]]

===History===

This was the burial grounds for thousands of followers of [[Sith Lord]] [[Urias Orian]] beneath the frozen stone of [[Inos Moon 42]]. The necropolis area is a moderate Dark Side site. Formerly nickel and gemstone mines in black basalt, the relatively unproductive area was abandoned to mining in favor of better mines found on [[Sepros]]. Urias Orian later determined the site to be ideal for his idea of a Sith Necropolis. The dark stone, high mineral content, readily available geothermal energy, harsh surface conditions, bleak environment and innate pre-existing Dark Side connection served his nefarious purposes perfectly.

[[image:tombvalley.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Valley of Tombs]]

First truly consummated by ritual Sith burial and sacrifice around 5,050 BBY, the Tombs served as burial grounds for Urias Orians' followers- and internment for his hapless enemies. While some of Orian's Sith and Darksider brethren were entombed here in sacred honor, ancient scrolls deciphered by [[Trevarus Caerick]] indicate that his enemies were often "interned" here against their wills. Usually they were entombed alive after being experimented upon in ghastly [[starwars:Sith magic|Sith Magic]] rituals. The elder scrolls also hint at forbidden lore relating to the preservation of life hidden somewhere within the echoing dark halls. Urias Orian was obsessed with the idea of immortality, and many of his underlings were 'volunteered' for experimentation for the sake of the [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]] and Lord Orian's curiosity.

[[Curwen Sunei]] used the Tombs as a refuge, and from them abducted both [[Ashura]] and his [[Apprentice]]. His body was found by [[Macron Sadow]], [[Jade Sadow]] and [[Aisha Qifaxa]], and burned in an ancient Sith burial rite and sealed off for transport to Sepros for burial.

Later, [[Consul]] Macron Sadow returned to the Tombs after Sunei's death and constructed a meditation and Sith training chamber deep in the bowels of the Tombs. The former Naga Sadow Schools of Learning training center headed by [[Teu Pepoi]] was based here in a building on the tundra plateau above the Tombs. The School was patrolled and supported by elite [[DSOG]] units. Formerly abandoned, the site is now under reconstruction by the [[Orian Assembly]].

===Appearance===

The insides of the Tombs are reached through a series of carved rock caves. Although the outside of the tunnels are icy cliffs, the insides are somewhat warmer and protected from the extremes of cold on [[Inos Moon 42]]. The tunnels were hollowed out and carved to create an underground necropolis of some size. The tunnels are hewn of ominous black basalt-type volcanic stone. Inos Moon 42 is relatively active geologically and so there is some earthquake damage in various parts of the Tombs. They contain gem crystals within some of the veins according to old sources and modern research although they are rare.

The Tombs are laid out in a network of crisscrossing tunnels with larger cathedral-like chambers interspersed throughout. Inside, they are dry from the low humidity and laced with the dust of ages and beings long past.
[[image:tombsoforian.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Underground Entrance to the Tombs]] The interior architecture is typical of old Sith structures, including pyramidal shapes, coffin-shaped halls, disturbing architecture and soaring chamber roofs. For the most part, there are no power sources in the tunnels. However, occasionally dim red lighting does occur in some of the chambers, presumably powered by some obscure [[Sith Alchemy|Sith alchemical]] method that presumably operates off of the natural geothermal energy that exists in the moon's crust.

===Hazards===
Various hazards await foolish explorers, ranging from [[starwars:Korriban zombie|Korriban Zombies]], [[starwars:Sith undead|Sith Undead]], vicious traps, cave-ins, and long-lived monstrosities. Earthquakes are also relatively common. It is also rumored to be inhabited by Dark Side spirits of some of Lord Orian's [[Sith]] followers. A few truly insane Dark Side hermits hide within the frozen crags near the surface. The insane Dark side Adept [[Curwen Sunei]] was rumored to have lived amongst the Tombs as a refugee from [[starwars:Thule|Thule]]. [[Clan Naga Sadow]] occasionally trains [[starwars:Tukata|Tuk'ata]] here and usually at least one guards the entrance to the Tombs faithfully. The Tuk'ata were installed as guardians in the third reign of [[Macron Sadow]] as [[Consul]]. Other dangers exist, as many [[Starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] come here from the halls of Naga Sadow on pilgrimages.

===Dark Side Site===
The large number of dead Darksider bodies here, along with the horrible [[starwars:Sith|Sith]] rites performed in antiquity and the terrible lingering deaths of Lord Orian's enemies left a black stain on the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] in this place. As a moderate Dark Side site, it can sometimes create illusions in the visitor's minds, much like the infamous Dagobah [[starwars:Dark Side Cave|Dark Side Cave]]. Unlike the Cave, the Tombs consists of some miles of tunnels and chambers over a much larger area. As well, it exhibits the typical Dark Side Site characteristics, such as a cold chill, eerie noises, darting shadows, and feelings of dread. Lightsider type powers are diminished in ability, and Dark Side powers are somewhat easier to tap. Healing Force abilities are very limited in a Dark Side site of this power. The deepest tunnels thousands of feet down below the surface act as a Dark Side site of strong power although few have ventured so deeply into them.

[[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] sometimes travel to such places to deepen their connection to the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side of the Force]] and to construct their [[lightsabers]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|thumb|left|125px|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:HeirloomSithRed.gif|150px|frame|left|Macron's first red synth-crystal powered lightsaber as a Knight]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics. [[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics.

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress. Nicht Ka was subsequently overrun by Brotherhood forces. During this time, [[Anaxela]] and a group of allied Organisation remnants chose to attack Mucenic on Tarthos and [[Installation Seven]] simultaneously.

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics.

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.
[[image:maccustomsaber2.png|175px|left|thumb|Macron's current custom lightsabers, image by Muz Ashen]]

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress.
(more coming after the event ends)

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics.

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|175px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress.
(more coming after the event ends)

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics.

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

[[image:armorfist.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Macron's Armor Fist]]

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|200px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress.
(more coming after the event ends)

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

Macron Goura Sadow is an insane [[Sith]] alchemist and warrior. Macron's insatiable lust for power knows no boundaries, and he seeks more knowledge of the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|Dark Side]] and the Force wherever he can. He has been appropriately described as "an effective but brutal broadsword" in his wartime tactics by [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu| Shi Long]]. Macron also has a strange sense of honor and loyalty to comrades unlike many Sith.

== Character History ==
{{Quote|After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi Padawan. I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense.|Macron}}

=== Introduction ===
[[image:Macron26aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron, 26 aby]]The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.

=== Young Punk 1 ABY ===
There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness. Both of them were strange. They could not eat normal food, and instead subsisted on nutrient slop normally given to the starving and medical cases. The brother and sister healed quickly and did not seem susceptible to the normal diseases found among the rabble living in the guts of Coruscant's lower levels. Both of them were Force-sensitive and tapped the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] instinctively, albeit in an untrained manner at this time.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that [[starwars:Tremayne|Tremayne]] may have been their 'genetic' father and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_bounty_hunters_in_Star_Wars#Sing.2C_Aurra Aurra Sing] their 'genetic' mother. They are both synthetic Humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from [[starwars:Darth Malak|Lord Malak]] found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers, thus identifying both of their connection to the Force. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons. It is entirely possible (and even likely) they were failed experiments.

The two became separated when they stowed away on [[starwars:Jib Kopatha|Jib Kopatha’s]] interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. [[Anaxela]] had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron later learned meager engineering skills from Jib's crew, who realized the Human’s vast intellectual potential. They also realized the strange human had a knack for medical work and he was enlisted in the ship's infirmary at the time.

Lord Vader came later and smashed many of the [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real "crush" [[starwars:Xora|Xora]]. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.[[image:mac3.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lego Macron]]

The young man then spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim, Tingel Arm, and nearby edge of the Unknown Regions. He worked as gemfisher on [[starwars:Yavin 4|Yavin 4]]. After the end of the Rebellion and Galactic Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the new Jedi Praxeum. As an older student, he learned quickly. Too quickly, in fact.

=== Jedi Training 15 ABY ===

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of Alchemy. In an effort to understand his own occult genesis he often stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as [[Cortosis]], making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a powerful sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak Padawans to a gory pulp. He also stole an ancient minor Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of [[Sith Alchemy]]. This earned him an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Macron (Mac) chose to work again as a gemfisher based from [[starwars:Yavin 8|Yavin Eight]] again. His previous knowledge of gems and the [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca Gem]] trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center to sell his wares. It is possible that at this time he attracted the attention of one of [[Muz Ashen]]'s gem dealing enterprises.
[[image:Macron punk.jpg|frame|left|Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang]]

=== On the Streets Again 17 ABY ===
Macron Goura was now left without a master, and arrived on Coruscant with credits which he would soon be relieved of. Macron remembered how bad street life could be from his young days. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels of his possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks.

Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull-like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. The Dark Skull's rite of passage was a cage fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own freshly severed arm. Fueled with the Dark Side, Macron killed two more gang members before they stopped the mayhem and called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders. During this time the madman learned street survival skills and leadership and the gang grew in power.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gang member, and often engaged in death-match bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He brutally killed most of his foes and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life. Surely there was more. The Dark Side beckoned him forth from the formative womb of the planet's bowels. After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging [[starwars:Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing|Star Wing]] gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home-world yet again.

=== Feeling the Power of the Dark Side 19-21 ABY ===
Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal he had found as a gemfisher there. It was one of the few things he had managed to save from his time as a gemfisher. The crystal was [[starwars:Corusca gem|Corusca]], an orange crystal from the crushing gases of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his lightsaber a searing orange color and a very focused beam. Macron worked again as a gemfisher and took the most dangerous collection trips possible in a sense of nihilism. He hoped for death to release him from his horrid existence as a sad excuse for an imitation human. Unfortunately, the Dark Side had other plans for him.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, Macron felt an irresistible urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by [[starwars:Exar Kun|Exar Kun]]. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of power. Macron reputedly met the Spirit of Darth Malak here although this is unconfirmed. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had purportedly written the very tome Macron had stolen. The phantasm bade Macron to travel to the [[Lyspair]] system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to mark his face with ancient [[Sith Tattoos]]. They would eventually become very extensive and be a characteristic trademark. The [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] had been watching him the whole time.

[[image:macKnight.jpg|frame|Macron's Armor at DJK, by Macron and Eldrad Sin]]

=== Finding a Master 22 ABY ===
On the moon of Lyspair Macron met and battled [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu]], and was profoundly beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. After joining [[Sapphire Squadron]] under [[Robert Daragon]], Macron became a budding expert at the art of Dulon and the use of weapons and lightsabers. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron soon became a Knight and constructed his first red synth-crystal lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.
[[Image:mac2.jpg|frame|right|by Shikyo, 23 aby]]

Macron spent considerable amounts of time in combat with Manji at the [[Antei Combat Centre]], as well as using the library at the [[Shadow Academy]] and the labs to investigate the workings of [[Sith Alchemy]]. With Manji to guide him in the Force, Mac made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the [[Headmaster]] made him an instructor.

Later, Macron ventured to the planet of [[starwars:Falleen|Falleen]] with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper. The Sith took genetic samples from the native species at the time which would become important later in his studies with [[Darth Vexatus]]. Macron then hunted down and killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on [[starwars:Metellos|Metellos]], and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a [[Order of the Black Guard]] member for the first time, and eventual multiple periods of service. This honed his combat abilities and exposed him to high level combat and special forces tactics.

During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" [[Malisane de Ath]] during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the first vesrions of the [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Deneba_SithAlchemy.php#top Sith Alchemy] and [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/shadowacademy/sa/Karana_Lightsaber.php#top Lightsaber Combat] tests at the [[Shadow Academy]], Macron stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

=== Digging Up the Past ===
Some trips to ruins on Yavin Four allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], [[starwars:Ruusan|Ruusan]], [[starwars:Dxun|Dxun]],[[starwars:Malachor V|Malachor V]] and even the witch world [[starwars:Dromund Kaas|Dromund Kaas]].

The expedition on Malachor V included [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]], who Macron considered a Sith comrade at the time. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included [[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, [[Raven]], and others. The lunatic survived two visits at that time.

=== 23 ABY ===
Macron then created a [[Sith Heavy Battle Suit]] for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his [[Consul]] and [[Proconsul]] in the creation of the first [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] for the Brotherhood as a whole. During this period he participated in the [[Invasion of Coratua]] and fought hardily although his pet Hssiss were slain.
[[image:BGarmorbymuz.jpg|frame|left|Macron's first armor, CNS Order of the Black Guard]]

=== A Leader is Born 24-25 ABY ===
[[image:macbattlesuit.jpg|frame|Macron's First Sith Battlesuit EQ1]]Mononoke served as the [[Aedile]] and [[Quaestor]] of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure. Macron went and fought on Kyataru during this time alongside his Master and [[Muz Ashen]].

[[Muz Keibatsu Sadow]] learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two were known to adventure together . Macron also trained [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]] in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She was proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists.

=== Sith Madness ===
During this period, Macron set up a personal lab near [[Amphor]] located inside [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith used the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel were perfect for his early insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to refine his studies of Alchemy and lightsaber hardware. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, dark side dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and others.

=== 25-26 ABY ===
The Clan later attacked and looted the [[Jagred]] city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with [[Severak]], one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the [[True Brotherhood]] was defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

Macron was later appointed the [[Dark Side Compendium Tribune]]. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time. Eventually, he stepped down from the position to concentrate his efforts on other pursuits.

Macron was the General in command of a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] clones during an uprising on [[Kyataru]]. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with [[Shikyo Keibatsu]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]] and the geniuses of [[Tarentum]] to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The [[Kyataru]] campaign and Great Jedi War saw him expand his knowledge of warfare. He developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of [[Milmefia]] on [[Antei]] during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He then experimented on making [[Sith-spawned Ewoks]] and trained them with [[Malisane de Ath]] on the planet [[Kangaras]]. Macron considers the Sith spawned Ewoks to be a twisted joke, and enjoys studying their reactions to his "treatments". An encounter during this time with the [[starwars:Ssi-Ruuvi|Ssi-Ruuvi]] led him to pursue other avenues of research. Macron experienced entechment voluntarily to a very limited degree, and this gave him a new perspective on technology.

===Warrior===
The [[Second Darkness]] [[Rite of Supremacy]] saw Macron develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His [[Violator Gas]] was used by the elite [[Order of the Black Guard]] to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict. it was later deemed unsafe and abandoned.[[image:Macpaint.jpg|frame|right|Macron with Sith face paint]]

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the [[VSD Covenant]] during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with [[Kaine Mandaala]] during this period. The [[Dark Prophet]] Kaine trained him in the fine points of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat before disappearing from the Brotherhood.

=== 26 ABY ===
Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the [[Sons of Sadow]]. Macron decommissioned the [[Silooth]] shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY. He then built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the [[Nachzerer]] in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space and Verpine contacts. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]] and [[Manji]].

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of [[Antei]], Macron commanded and piloted the [[VSD Covenant]] during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and personally slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a [[Marked of the Wanderer]] by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of [[Darth Vexatus]]' Hands. In essence Vexatus became his Sith Master. To this end, Macron built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.

=== A New Era ===

It is rumored Macron spent much time training with [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]] following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. It is certain that his skills with the Force and with the lightsaber were honed to deadly effectiveness at this point.

During the [[Invasion of Orian]] by the True Brotherhood, Macron led the Clan to victory as [[Consul]]. A massive effort by all involved drove the usurpers out of Clan Naga Sadow space, leaving most of the TB invaders either dead or converted. Macron located a redoubt beneath the fetid clouds of [[Gamuslag]], returning with Clone troopers, ordnance, and a force of vicious DSOG operatives to fight on [[Sepros]]. Wielding the [[Ring of Wrath]], Macron fought and slew several notable [[True Brotherhood]] [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] in personal combat, reinforcing his reputation as an insane and dangerous duelist.

Although the Force Witch [[Anaxela]] escaped along with the shade of [[Severina]], the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]] was liberated from the invaders' grasp and stored in the Clan Vault. With invaluable assistance from stalwart Clan members, the homes and buildings destroyed by the TB forces were eventually rebuilt.

=== 27-28 ABY ===
Shortly after this time, the newly commissioned CNS Fleet was put into action. Macron and Shin'Ichi returned from the shipyards at the head of a much more modern and powerful fleet after the efforts of the Dark Council and the Dlarit Corporation funded the new vessels. It is unknown what Macron did during the interim period, however, he was spotted with two lightsabers of new and improved design after his brief hiatus. The mental pressure from the intense training at the hands of Darth Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick finally broke the remaining few sane parts of his mind during this time, sending him back into the depths of insanity and this allowed for Trevarus to take control of the Clan Naga Sadow Consulate once again.
[[image:SadowWar.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Macron, Darth Vexatus, and Shin'Ichi during the Antei Invasion]]

Macron then stepped down as Consul while the Clan turned it's attention to Kangaras in an effort to locate the escaped [[Severina]] and [[Anaxela]]. Although Macron saw some combat during this operation, he primarily served as a field science officer in the analysis of the ruins and evil flora encountered in the Kangaras jungle. During this expedition, one of the Sith spawned Ewoks known as [[Zuglaq]] became contaminated with the Dark Side energies of the site. Zuglaq developed a sense of the Force, and Macron took him under his insane tutelage to develop the Ewok's latent abilities.

=== Into the Fray: Shadows of the Void 28 ABY ===

During the [[Battle of Telos]], Macron personally delivered an unstable remnant [[Violator Gas|Violator Omega]] gas bomb into the [[starwars:Koros-Strohna|Vong Worldship]]. Fighting alongside Sai, Malisane, [[Agrist]], and [[Delta-19|Senth]] the [[Delta-class Advanced Commando]] proved to be a valid combination as they all survived. Most of the CNS forces that were dropped onto the Worldship were evacuated in the Nachzerer, which suffered heavy damage in both the landing and retreat operations. The Sith was able to kill several Yuuzhan Vong warriors in this fight, as well as the gleeful slaughter of some priests of their vile gods.

Concurrently, the [[Dark Council]] ordered that Masters of given light saber styles would train others in order to improve the overall power of the Brotherhood in light of the Vong invasions. The alchemist personally instructed [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] onboard [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]].

Later Macron went with Malisane, Senth, and Zuglaq to search for the location of Darth Severak's secret fleet and then infiltrate it. It is unknown exactly what the two did while on this personal mission, but it is known that Malisane decided to informally ally and train with the Sith Lord again afterward. Upon his return, the Keibatsu re-joined [[Sapphire Squadron]] and began to help [[Robert Daragon]] with administrative duties as Sapphire's executive officer.

=== Bloodbath ===

During the Vong invasion of [[Clan Arcona]] space, Macron was deployed along with many others from Clan Naga Sadow to aid the escaping Arconans. Mononoke teamed up with Darth Vexatus, Vallen the Fosh, and the alchemist's apprentice Naiia. The group took almost 70 Dlarit clone troopers and landed in [[Estle City]] on the planet of [[Selen]]. Lord Vexatus easily corrupted the madman's thoughts with whispers of greater secrets of power and convinced him to help sabotage the air defenses of the city in order to bring the Vong down into Estle city.

Neither Vexatus nor Macron cared whether they slew Vong invaders or resistance fighters during the incident, preferring instead to leave no survivors to tell sordid tales. Macron truly delighted in the carnage and found some sort of sanity within the destruction for a time. They later returned to the [[RSD Final Way]] and left the system to return to [[Orian Space]]. Upon his return to Sepros, Macron once again was selected as a leader within [[House Ludo Kressh]] by being appointed [[Aedile]] for a second term.

=== The Battle of Lehon 29 ABY ===
[[image:macredsuit.jpg|250px|thumb
|right|Macron's Armor during the Battle of Lehon, EQ2]]

During this time, Macron was manipulated by Vexatus the Betrayer. Lord Vexatus and [[Trevarus Caerick]] both sought the location of [[starwars:Lehon|Lehon]] in order to acquire power from an ancient [[starwars:Rakata|Rakatan]] site. During the ensuing battle, Macron poisoned his former master with a bacterium similar to the one that devastated [[starwars:Falleen (planet)|Falleen]]. The germ contributed to Vexatus' seeming dissolution. For some time after the end of the conflict, Macron locked himself in the [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and refused outside contact for several months. he seemed to be lost in deep meditation and intense personal training according to the few he calls friends. It is known that he trained extensively with [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] and [[Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu]]

=== Battle for Inos 30 ABY ===

During this unfortunate time of change, many tragic things happened. [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow]] made a masterful manipulation of the Clan as Overlord to test the loyalty and readiness of Clan Naga Sadow. Parts of both Houses of the Clan fought against each other. A land battle on [[Inos Moon 18]] was combined with a space battle above in orbit of [[Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo took [[Aleho Ruoxf]] with them as a sort of insurance while conspiring with [[Jades "Imperial" Atema]] and her House Marka Ragnos co-conspirators. Macron and Sai left with [[Protector]] Ruoxf as an unwitting hostage. Between the goading and instruction of the two [[Equite]]s the young [[starwars:Togruta|Togruta]] was dragged directly into the heart of the conflict zone. The two Darksiders exposed her to intense scenes of personal combat to save her own life- and that of her compatriots. She also participated in battlefield impromptu surgery and assisted with piloting the [[Nachzerer]] with Tsainetomo in the space battle around Inos against the false Brotherhood.

=== Exploration of Inos Moon 42: The Tombs of Urias Orian 30 ABY ===
Macron was dispatched at Consul [[Robert Daragon|Bob's]] request to explore the Inos area after the [[The Battle of Inos]]. Macron and Tsainetomo had noticed Force anomalies on [[Inos Moon 42]] during the recent conflict. A group of Dark Jedi including Macron, Tsainetomo, Jade, Aleho, Ekeia, and Zaroth traveled with [[Delta-17|DAC Major Qek]] in the Nachzerer to the moon. The investigation centered around a dark side site known as the Tombs Of Urias Orian. [[Urias Orian|Lord Orian]] had secreted bodies of his followers here in an effort to create a site of Dark Side power.

The group delved deep into the caves, encountering Sith Undead, animated corpses and frightening illusions in the yawning passages.The hoary crypts proved to be home to [[Curwen Sunei]], a hermit darksider from the waning days of the Galactic Empire. Sunei did battle with the collective group and was fought to a stalemate. Deposits of red Adegan crystals were found in the lower caves, and samples were retrieved for examination by the Herald's office. A deal was reached with Sunei, and in turn access to the Tombs was opened to Clan Naga Sadow.

=== Intervening Periods ===

'''30 ABY'''

Macron Sadow fought valiantly in the Liberation of Antei. Macron led an investigation of the Vong ship Zhaetor-zhae where he was attacked by a spine-ray. He contacted the fleet to report his findings that the ship had already been infected with the Alpha Red virus and were dying. The Vong threat was passing away.
After four years the Vong had now fallen, but Antei was still under Omnicor Crask's Jedi occupation. Brotherhood forces mounted a furious assault and re-took the seat of their power. Macron then deployed to the landing area in Narmar, but unfortunately it was almost immediately overrun. Reinforcements were called in from Clan Taldrya, and tensions ran high when Macron deliberately had part of their forces shelled by zeroed-in artillery in brutal retaliation for the betrayal four years earlier during the Fall of Antei.
During the final battle in the Valley of the Lost, Macron dueled and defeated a lesser Jedi "Master" known as Lorrdien. At the end of the conflict, [[Muz Ashen]] sat on the Iron Throne as [[Grandmaster]]. [[image:maccustomsaber1.png|250px|right|thumb|Macron's first Corusca gem-powered custom lightsaber, image by Muz Ashen]]

'''31 ABY'''

Unfortunately, Macron's encounter with the spine-ray would lead to his only act of betrayal. Under the consuming influence of Vong biots he broke into the Hive and disabled the Orian System's holonet and internal communications. He then personally led the attack on the Orian system's assets. Macron was fully controlled by the Vong biots, as his synthetic body did not reject them as many sentients did. He killed many Orian system defenders and personally kidnapped Remulus Sadow and brought him to the Vong warship [[Yammka's Sword]]. During this time he got a first-hand education on Vong bio-warfare as he himself was subjected to their experiments and released agents into target areas. Macron endured the Embrace of Pain repeatedly. He became one of [[Eshin Shul]]'s Slayers against his will- a turn of events that he regrets to this day. His new name became [[Krag Muyel]].
As if awakening from a dream, Macron Goura later finally broke free of the spineray's control, ripping it off his back before executing Eshin, then going to help Ashura and Remulus and get off the Yammka before it was destroyed in the unfolding space battle. . Upon encountering one of the Dlarit teams who had by now stormed the Vong flagship, Macron put Ashura and Remulus into one of the Vong escape pods and—in spite of the proconsul's protestations—launched it towards the Final Way before anyone could stop him, then instructed them to take him to the [[Violator Gas]] Bomb so that he could at last finish what he had started in order to atone for his role in everything that had happened.

His Master [[Manji Keibatsu Sadow]] joined up with the now freed Macron Goura and the pair of Sons of Sadow engaged Varesh. However, strong as the pair were, the Warmaster seemed virtually indestructible, his very skin immune to attack. Growing desperate, Manji and Macron held back, leaving the two Vong giants to destroy each other first. Naga sadow agents had smulled a Violator gas bomb onto the vessel, and Macron Goura leapt at the bomb, clenching his hand around the broken valve in an act of atonement. But William Darkfire refused to see the Son of Sadow throw his life away, and—despite Macron's protestations—announced he would stay behind instead. Begrudingly, Macron handed the valve over to the mutilated journeyman William Darkfire and hurried off after the others.

=== New Beginnings 31-35 ABY ===

[[image:AishaandMacronGJW9.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Aisha and Macron Battle droids on Antei 30 ABY]]

'''31 ABY'''

During this time, [[Consul]] [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] saw the swelling unrest, refugee crisis, and instability in the Orian System and did his level best to control it. War is hell, and the System had been assaulted from every angle including from within. Illegal narcotics began to be smuggled in system by the organization, and the agents of the Clan were sent to stop the trade. Macron Sadow tracked several sources to their end and characteristically dispatched them all into the cold hands of death along with his Zeltron Apprentice.

'''32 ABY'''

Macron again served in the assault on Salas V. Many Dark Jedi died, and the Killiks were largely driven out of Brotherhood space. Refugees that were placed in camps on Aeotheran rebelled. A superhuman called Deliverance lead the fighting, funded by corrupt Seng Karash financier. All of this was orchestrated by an unknown "Organisation." Macron assisted in the slaying of Deliverance.

'''33 ABY'''

[[image:4856robe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Macron's Unique Alchemist Robe]]

The [[Ekind]] took over the Kar Albarek ruins at this time. Naga Sadow forces were dispatched rushed to Markosian in retaliation. Fremoc ordered Admiral Simonetti to destroy the Green Sector with orbital bombardment to try and kill Shan Long. This attempt failed. The entire House fell into rage. Clan Naga Sadow was dissolved. The Ekind tried to resurrect [[Hafa Chun]] in the old Ragnos Cathedral ruins and they succeeded. Lord Muz arrived in response to deal with the threat. A great conflict ensued, and Macron again fought for his Clan in the thick of battle. Both Hafa Chun and the Ekind died in the chaos with no chance of Hafa's return.

'''34 ABY'''

{{Quote|You little fool,” chuckled Macron as he picked his orange lightsaber hilt from his hip. “It was meant to be, I suppose. You are Sith after all. It was your destiny, which ends here. Come now, little girl. Show me your teeth, harridan. You better scare me good, because the bad man is coming for you.|Macron}}

Following the [[Ekind]] Uprising on [[Tarthos]], it was made official that Clan Naga Sadow would become House Naga Sadow; dissolving all the houses into Battle Teams and leaving Macron Goura Sadow and Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow as the Quaestor and Aedile of the newly reformed house. Early in 34 ABY the house's Orders were sent to Antei to fight against each other. Despite the battle lasting only a few days, it saw Tsainetomo become the new Quaestor of Naga Sadow. Macron, who had stayed behind during the Order War, began an investigation while Sai pondered his replacement for Aedile of Naga Sadow.

Sai and Macron then found Ashura's body and gave their fellow Son of Sadow a proper Sith burial, where the body was burnt. Macron, Jade, and [[Aisha Qifaxa]] found Aleho and began to torture the young woman in order to find that a man named [[Curwen Sunei]] had possessed her to kill Ashura. Aleho, along with Macron, told the collected Dark Jedi that Sunei was hiding in the Nifokalija mountains. Macron returned to the new Sadow Palace with the body of Ashura, leaving Sai and his apprentice Lan there with the House's Overlord, grieving for Ashura.

Macron was sent with little backup to capture Curwen Sunei. The capture went easily until Sunei used his abilities with the Dark Side to disable the corvette sent to return him for justice and create mind-affected crew members. Macron and Jade Sadow returned to the vessel and boarded. The crew was in a state of madness, and Macron personally fought Sunei to the death using the [[Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan]]. Although he won the battle, using the Sword left him at death's door. He was revived by the combined efforts of Jade Sadow and those present.

[[image:4856robe2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Macron's Armor at EQ3]]

The Rakghoul Plague came at this time to the forces of Taldryan and Tarentum. Macron saw action in this combat, and used his knowledge to help eliminate the plague from known Brotherhood space. Shortly thereafter, the clone of Ashura was discovered to be working for [[The Organisation]], as well as his Apprentice [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. Macron killed both the traitors personally. Qifaxa was brutally beaten to a pulp and spaced out the airlock on the Miner's Brother in front of his new Apprentice, [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].

'''35 ABY'''

During this time, Naga Sadow was restored to Clan status under [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]]'s guidance. [[Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart]] became Consul, and the Clan began major construction projects on [[Kel Rasha]] and the Gilded Archipelago. A direct attack on [[San Korinar]] was fielded by The Organisation, and Macron joined with the rest of the Clan's Dark Jedi to stop it. Reconstruction began on San Korinar, and Macron was appointed Consul for the third time. During this third reign, he oversaw another major retrofit of the CNS fleet and military forces. A new, larger battlestation named [[Onyx 2]] was constructed to replace the old [[Platform Onyx]]. As well, the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] were developed as a training site for the Clan's Dark Jedi who wished to connect on a deeper level with the Dark Side. Tukata were obtained and stationed there and in other places within Clan space. An alliance was formed with the [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] that still stands, the insectile aliens providing engineering and scientific support to the Clan.

Unfortunately, a coup d'état saw Macron's rule as Consul overthrown by [[Locke Sonjie]]. The Organisation planted information that called Macron's loyalty into question, and an intervention by [[Muz Ashen]] resulted in a regime change for the Clan.

[[image:Macron Sadow Equite4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's armor at EQ4, 36 ABY]]

===[[Horizons]] 36 ABY ===

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Macron battles aboard the Wreck of the Miner's Brother]]

The [[Horizon_Plague|Horizon Plague]] claimed the lives of thousands of force sensitives throughout the Brotherhood. As the vicious plague raged across the Brotherhood, Macron remained strangely immune due to his weird synthetic physiology. Its effects were eventually countered by an inoculation developed by Macron Goura Sadow from his own blood and antibodies at [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen's]] command. The antidote was either administered by syringe or spread contagiously in the same way that the original plague had been transmitted. Macron arrived on [[Antei]] just in time to battle Vessah M’kawlieh, a Matukai Force Adept in [[Zoraan]]'s employ. Although he was somewhat outclassed, the Alchemist managed to dose Vessah with a potent mix of gases and drugs that led to the [[starwars:Arkanaian|Arkanaian's]] defeat and death at the hands of the Sith. After the battle, Macron was elevated to [[Elder]] status by Darth Ashen.

The death toll from the following battles, including military and civilian deaths, is still being quantified. The orbital bombing of [[Karufr]] and the release of a bio-weapon on [[Kapsina]] meant that the civilian death toll alone was over 30 million.

Macron then aided in the capture of the [[Avenger II]], leading a group of Clan Naga Sadow forces in the attempt by the Brotherhood to capture the massive [[starwars:Super Star Destroyer|Super Star Destroyer]].

The Horizon plague had unforeseen effects on the madman. Although he retained his ability to use the [[starwars:Force|The Force]] unlike many who had been affected, his synthetic organs began to wear out much more quickly. The madman retreated to [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] and the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] in search of a cure.
[[image:Macronfaceshothorizons.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron realizes he has been infected but retains the Force]]

=== The Crusade 37 ABY ===

The ill Sith then spent many months in seclusion while his Clan fought in the [[Dark Crusade]]. As the battles to take planets in [[starwars:Sith Space|Sith Space]] and drive out the One Sith raged, Macron had his own problems to worry about. His organs began to fail rapidly, especially when he used the Force to tap Dark Side abilities. The combination of Vong biots invading his flesh years earlier and the Horizon Plague were unforeseen eventualities that his unknown creator had not planned into his design. The Sith intensified his research. The madman sought out every available resource on Alchemy, and when not secluded in the Tombs or his lab in the Wreck of the Miner's Brother traveled to several Dark Side planets known for their traditions of Alchemy. He was eventually able to stabilize his body using methods taught to him by a [[starwars:Nightsisters|Nightsister]] named Cythrexil in exchange for teaching her the means to synthesize lightsaber crystals.

[[image:Macron Sadow Horizons3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Macron communicates with Shikyo about the Horizon Plague]]

During the [[Dark Crusade]], Macron was largely out of commission until the invasion of Athiss|Athiss]]. Macron returned from his isolation in the [[Tombs of Urias Orian]] to find many of his former comrades dead. The [[Dlarit Corporation]] had fallen, and the new [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] had formed to slake it's thirst for blood on the worlds it was sent to. The Sith served in the invasions of Athiss, [[starwars:Korriz|Korriz]], and [[starwars:Ziost|Ziost]].

At this time, it was determined by Consul [[Malik Sadow]] that the city of [[Markosian City]] on [[Tarthos]] was to be re-taken by the forces of the Clan. Macron personally led a team consisting of [[Shirai Ryu Dupar]], [[Maelous Ascarend]], and [[Roxas Buurenaar]] known as the "Horsemen of Sadow" into the city to secure the power station and eliminate Lerona Kahn, the unofficial "leader" of the city-state. The team managed to do so in record time. Kahn and all of her subordinate gang-leaders were quickly located, executed, and the energy shield was lifted from around the city after two years of isolation. The Clan then led a relief effort to bring in food, medicines, and infrastructure rebuilds.

The Adept then joined with the Horsemen along with [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]] to lead an incursion onto the planet of [[starwars:Bosthirda|Bosthirda]] to attempt to locate the Sword of [[Revelation]] in [[starwars:Xlopora City|Xlopora City]]. Although the team was unsuccessful, they encountered stiff combat from One Sith and Imperial factions. At this time, John "Dragoon" Witwalker was finally Knighted on the battlefield by Macron personally. The Alchemist and many of his compatriots were severely injured during the conflict. Macron lost an eye to a lightsaber blow, and subsequently installed a [[Sith Alchemy|Sithspawned]] cloned eye as a replacement, giving him an even more foreboding mien.

Shortly thereafter, the Clan stormed the city of [[San Korinar]] on [[Amphor]] and destroyed an organized crime holdout and rebels there. The former [[DSOG]] clone trooper [[Delta-30|Krenth]] had defected to [[The Organisation]], and Macron personally executed him and retrieved genetic samples. At this time, Macron crashed [[The Wreck of the Miner's Brother]] into a smaller rebel-held mining platform known as Dortiam, completely destroying both the ship and the platform. Macron also took on a new Apprentice, an [[starwars:Umbaran|Umbaran]] known as [[Armad]] at this time.

=== Rise of the [[Orian Assembly]] 38 ABY ===

During early 38 ABY a strike team of Dark Jedi with Macron as a team member was dispatched to the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shadaa|Nar Shadaa]] to locate and eliminate a former Dlarit Corp agent known as Draggath Prosh. Prosh had been selling information about the Orian System to the [[starwars:Hutt|Hutt]] cartels, and he was subsequently eliminated along with his cohorts and many of their hosts. After this trip, the current [[Proconsul]] [[Darth Vexatus]] stepped down to travel far into the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]] for his own nefarious purposes.

Macron stepped up and was chosen to be Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow again. At this time he secretly began construction of [[Level 13]] on [[Gamuslag]] under the [[Cenota Facility]].
His second action was to create the [[Orian Assembly]] and [[Orian Authority]] out of the shambles that had been the former leadership of the Clan with Consul [[Malik Sadow|Malik's]] approval. The Assembly moved quickly and rapidly dispatched the [[Warhost of Naga Sadow]] and teams of Dark Jedi to eliminate all remaining opposition and Dlarit holdouts across the system. Their first target was the [[The Organisation]] [[The Facility|Facility]] on [[Inos Moon 7]]. The Facility was invaded, secured, and the Organisation members were either killed or captured. A few did manage to escape, but not many. The Facility building was subsequently turned into a hive and engineering base for the Clan's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] allies.

The Assembly next turned it's gaze towards the planet of Aeotheran. The city of [[Seng Karash]] had been infiltrated by Dark Jedi from the cult known as the [[Gomorag]]. The city was secured by the Clan's Dark Jedi and Warhost forces and the Gomorag were routed. Several of their leaders fled to a former [[starwars:Kwa|Kwa]] temple located deep in the [[Nifokalija Mountains]] known as [[Installation Seven]]. As Seng Karash was rebuilt by Clan forces and patrolled by the Orian Authority, many of the Clan's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to retrieve information on how to open the former Kwa temple that their enemies remained hidden in.

Shortly thereafter a group of Clan Naga Sadow's Dark Jedi traveled to [[starwars:Dathomir|Dathomir]] to abduct a Shaman Nightsister known as Anzaithia. Reputedly she had information on the Kwa ruins that the Clan sought. Although Macron waited nearby in the [[VSD Covenant]], he was later drawn into the conflict alongside [[Roxas Buurenaar]] and the newly-returned [[Shi Long]]. Anzaithia nearly wrecked his mind (or what is left of it) with her magiks although the Sith Juggernaut was able to finally best her in personal combat with the help of other Clan mates.

Shortly thereafter, the invasion of Planet [[Nicht Ka]] commenced as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood moved ahead with it's invasion plans. Macron was characteristically at the front of the Clan Naga Sadow forces as they invaded Lord [[Esoteric]]'s fortress.
(more coming after the event ends)

[[image:Macron Sadow Juggenaut.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Macron's Armor at DA as an Elder Juggernaut (with slain Gomorag Dark Jedi), 38 ABY]]

== Physical Description ==

Macron Sadow is approximately 2M tall and weighs 104 kilograms roughly. Macron is a synthetic human. His face is covered in scar tissue, ghoulish [[Sith Tattoos]] and weird face paint. The Sith has severe scarring from numerous lab accidents and combats. His normal eye appears yellow with a blood-shot corona around the pupil. One eye has been replaced by a bulging Sith-spawned eye. The eye bears a horrible appearance, composed of squalid blush tissue with a square bloody yellow pupil. He is highly resistant to (and generally full of) poisons, drugs, and disease, having many synthetic organs and body parts. Unfortunately they need to be replaced occasionally. As well, his organs wear faster as he uses the Force. Macron is in excellent shape and trains his body regularly and is muscular and athletic albeit thin for his size. He almost always wears some sort of Sith Armor.

== Personality and traits ==

Macron is insane. He often talks to himself, giggles madly, and has conversations with himself or makes incomprehensible statements. Although he is very intelligent and a gifted tactician and alchemist, the Sith can be unpredictable. His mind was unstable from his inception as an experiment. He was later the host for a spineray and was subjected to Yuuzhan Vong experimentation. The horrific events altered his mind even more. The Sith does possess a strange sense of honor and will (usually) not kill the weak unless ordered to do so. He sees them as unworthy of death at the hands of a Sith- unless they are useful research subjects. Macron hates [[starwars:Ewok|Ewoks]] and [[starwars:Gungan|Gungans]] with a passion, considering them to be vermin. Their tanned hides are often used to line the seats of his ships and luggage and/or they become dinner or biomass for his experimental vats. Torture is his favorite hobby (both self and others). He is known to employ a variety of Dark Droids, often modified by Mechu-deru. His favorites are [[Blinky the IT-3]], Dark Eyes, and [[Sith War droids]]. Macron also maintains an excellent relationship with Clan Naga Sadow's [[starwars:Verpine|Verpine]] engineers, and is often more comfortable with them than other [[starwars:Human|Human]] or alien species.

== Powers and abilities ==

Macron has a powerful grasp of [[Telekinesis]], [[Makashi]], [[Echani]], and Force Lightning. He is highly skilled in the area of [[Lightsaber]] hardware, crystals, and construction. He is a gifted practitioner of [[Sith Alchemy]] and has a deep knowledge of biochemistry, exo-geology, and Sith Lore in general. He is an excellent strategist of both starship and ground combat tactics and maneuvers in large and small-scale battles. Macron is a solid teacher of the Dark Jedi way and has produced at least seven [[Dark Jedi Knight|Dark Jedi Knights]] in his career as a Master.

== Weaknesses ==
Macron hallucinates frequently and can be unpredictable and violent. His piloting skills of transports are adequate, but in smaller fighter-type vessels he becomes claustrophobic and disoriented.
Although generally an honorable warrior for a [[Sith]], he has no qualms about exterminating large numbers of sentients if it is in the interests of his research. He is extremely uncomfortable in jungle type climates, especially those with heavy vegetation and large insect populations. His armor is his "safety blanket", environmental protection, and alchemical toolkit. The various iterations of his Sith Battlesuits serve to insulate him from others and keep his sanity in check, and he is seldom (if ever) seen without them on. He has been known to kill several [[Apprentice|Apprentices]] for failing their trials or him personally, including [[Aisha Qifaxa]]. As well, he is known to experiment on his fellow Dark Jedi, including [[Shi Long]], [[Roxas Buurenaar]], and [[John "Dragoon" Witwalker]].
