&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;
*The only recognized [[Jedi Master]] in the [[DJB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Served on the [[Dark Council]] as the only [[Lord Marshal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;
*The only recognized [[Jedi Master]] in the [[DJB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Served on the [[Dark Council]] as the only [[Lord Marshal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;MikeHalcyon: /* Paladin */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I don&#039;t think that Paladin and Faethor actually were Justicars.  There was an entirely different setup and name for the positions back then if I remember correctly -[[Kir Taldrya Katarn]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Paladin ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had to search through endless e-mails to find this but it is proof that Paladin was Justicar, it was dated Dec 30,1999:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Greetings all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just a quick note to let you all know the appointment of the final Archon, Sith Warlord Tron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nighthawk, if you could speak with Tron about his suggestion for a replacement for his CON position, and update the roster accordingly.  And Thedek, if you could add him to the list of Chamber members on the DB page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rest of you, if you could add coj@darkbrotherhood.com to your email lists, as opposed to our individual email addesses, that would save you some time, as a mail sent out to that address will reach us all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This brings the membership of the Chamber of Justtice to the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Justicar&#039;&#039;&#039;: Lord Chief Justice Paladin (jst@darkbrotherhood.com)&lt;br /&gt;
*First Archon: Lord Justice Faethor (1ar@darkbrotherhood.com)&lt;br /&gt;
*Archon1: Judge Royal (parejean@videotron.ca)&lt;br /&gt;
*Archon2: Judge Shotgun (shoty@therange.com)&lt;br /&gt;
*Archon3: Judge Dragon (dragon1978@msn.com)&lt;br /&gt;
*Archon4: Judge Tron (tron@techline.com)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congratulations, Sith Warlord Tron.  I look forward to working with you on the Chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleet Admiral Faethor&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Jedi Primarch&lt;br /&gt;
Lord Justice, First Archon of the Brotherhood&lt;br /&gt;
Tribune to the High Court&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with that, I thought - and I could be mistaken - that Paladin left or was removed and Faethor was made Justicar.  Not quite sure on that one. --[[User:Tron|Tron]] 18:10, 6 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*That&#039;s right, yeah. In, I think, 2000 the CoJ was first created, before then everything was just done by the HCI. It was basically a copy of the HCI and had exactly the same people in it. Justicar was the head, First Archon was the second in charge (like the HCI&#039;s Tribune) and then the Archons were like the individual INQs. It was scrapped sometime in later 00 or 01 or something.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As for whether &#039;&#039;Faethor&#039;&#039; was JST... I can&#039;t remember. I don&#039;t think he was. As far as I remember the CoJ was something Zoraan brought in, but that was scrapped pretty much as soon as Chi-Long/Faethor got GM and everyone was getting all scared about the DB becoming too independent (how ironic :P). I can&#039;t think of a reason why Paladin would have retired from JST before Faethor got GM, as he was High Inquisitor the whole time, so I guess was JST the whole time, and once Faethor got GM he wouldn&#039;t have been JST, so I don&#039;t think he was, no. I might be wrong though *shrug*--[[User:Xanos|Xanos]] 14:49, 10 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
**Faethor was definitly Chief Justice. I remember him kicking me countless times from #DB for me calling him Judge Dredd. [[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 05:05, 11 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;

*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;

Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;
*The only recognized [[Jedi]] Master in the [[DJB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Served on the [[Dark Council]] as the only [[Lord Marshal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force.

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Together with [[Saitou]] lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;
*The only recognized [[Jedi]] Master in the [[DJB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Served on the [[Dark Council]] as the only [[Lord Marshal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Continuity ==&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ve made a claim that seems to say your brother was given into the custody of the Drall in 21 BBY to avoid the clutches of Darth Vader. That&#039;s simply not possible, in 21 BBY Anakin Skywalker was still the Padawan of Obi-wan Kenobi. Darth Vader didn&#039;t exist until the ending days of the Clone War in the year 19 BBY. -- [[User:Retoru|Retoru]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing as there is a gap of about 8 years between the next &amp;quot;section&amp;quot;, I think it&#039;s plausible these things happened during that time period with his actual &amp;quot;birth&amp;quot; happening in 21 BBY. --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 08:55, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dunno, the way it&#039;s written it seems to imply that the sibling was given up into custody of the Drall before he was even born. There&#039;s no clear delineation of time that would lead one to assume there had been an intervening period. [[User:Retoru|Retoru]] 09:02, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Made it clearer.&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 03:44, 4 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While trying to reconstruct my own timeline I came across some probable inaccuracies in yours; you claim to have switched orders in 19 ABY. However, some research using the Internet Wayback Machine reveals that I joined the DB on 2002-11-8 (late 18 ABY), at which point you were already an Obelisk in House Cestus. I also wonder where you found the time to meditate in the Outer Rim, as you were supposedly quite busy training me...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reblet&#039;s Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Though you claim &#039;three long years of absence&#039; from 20 to 22 ABY EHDB records indicate you only left as OHC on 2004-4-6 (early 21 ABY) and according to DJB records were appointed LM on 2004-5-11 (still 21 ABY). I&#039;d hardly call that three years! In addition, you couldn&#039;t have turned to the light during that period as you&#039;d been training me as your Padawan much earlier (18-19 ABY).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Time conversions are based on [[Dark_Jedi_Brotherhood_Era|Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- [[User:Reblet|Reblet]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That happens when you try to restore everything from memory. I will fix the dates accordingly once I find the time. [[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 08:00, 31 December 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== more continuity problems ==&lt;br /&gt;
CP wasn&#039;t formed until well after you left LM. I was OHC when that happened.. you resigned 2 days after I became that. --[[User:Korras|Korras]] 12:45, 2 January 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
* Oh, but it was the same entitiy with a different name. So it´s true - from a certain point of view. ;) I fixed it. :) [[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 14:31, 2 January 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;

The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;

It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Exar Kun with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Exar Kun was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Reb Qel-Droma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
*Served as [[OHC]] in the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|EHDB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Sibling of [[Halcyon Rokir]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has a foible for good-looking Twi&#039;lek females.&lt;br /&gt;
*The only recognized [[Jedi]] Master in the [[DJB]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Served on the [[Dark Council]] as the only [[Lord Marshal]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After almost three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;

*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
As the creator of the Master-Student-Program, Halcyon has trained quite a few Jedi over the time. Unlike most mentors, however, he employed a quite unique way of selecting and teaching students. While usually the master approaches their student or vice versa, Halcyon would always decline teaching a student. Only if the future apprentice showed enough determination and would persistently ask time and again, Halcyon would accept them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi trained ===&lt;br /&gt;
*Saitou&lt;br /&gt;
*Aeishline Strathaven&lt;br /&gt;
*Holu Tatsumi&lt;br /&gt;
*Sabé Dracaena&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jedi Knights trained ===&lt;br /&gt;

*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened somewhen during the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae. The first (and last student) Halcyon trained in the ways of the Jedi thereafter already. [[Reb Qel-Droma]] became the first Jedi Knight of an eradicated Jedi Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira.

&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree.

With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander.

Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;

*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Has been in all orders once: Sith, Krath, Obelisk.&lt;br /&gt;
*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Continuity ==&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ve made a claim that seems to say your brother was given into the custody of the Drall in 21 BBY to avoid the clutches of Darth Vader. That&#039;s simply not possible, in 21 BBY Anakin Skywalker was still the Padawan of Obi-wan Kenobi. Darth Vader didn&#039;t exist until the ending days of the Clone War in the year 19 BBY. -- [[User:Retoru|Retoru]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing as there is a gap of about 8 years between the next &amp;quot;section&amp;quot;, I think it&#039;s plausible these things happened during that time period with his actual &amp;quot;birth&amp;quot; happening in 21 BBY. --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 08:55, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dunno, the way it&#039;s written it seems to imply that the sibling was given up into custody of the Drall before he was even born. There&#039;s no clear delineation of time that would lead one to assume there had been an intervening period. [[User:Retoru|Retoru]] 09:02, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Made it clearer.&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 03:44, 4 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While trying to reconstruct my own timeline I came across some probable inaccuracies in yours; you claim to have switched orders in 19 ABY. However, some research using the Internet Wayback Machine reveals that I joined the DB on 2002-11-8 (late 18 ABY), at which point you were already an Obelisk in House Cestus. I also wonder where you found the time to meditate in the Outer Rim, as you were supposedly quite busy training me...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reblet&#039;s Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Though you claim &#039;three long years of absence&#039; from 20 to 22 ABY EHDB records indicate you only left as OHC on 2004-4-6 (early 21 ABY) and according to DJB records were appointed LM on 2004-5-11 (still 21 ABY). I&#039;d hardly call that three years! In addition, you couldn&#039;t have turned to the light during that period as you&#039;d been training me as your Padawan much earlier (18-19 ABY).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Time conversions are based on [[Dark_Jedi_Brotherhood_Era|Dark Jedi Brotherhood Era]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- [[User:Reblet|Reblet]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That happens when you try to restore everything from memory. I will fix the dates accordingly once I find the time. [[User:MikeHalcyon|MikeHalcyon]] 08:00, 31 December 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His younger brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall four years later, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of the newly risen [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vader Darth Vader].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;

*Worked with [[Kaine Mandaala]] on [[Project: Epiderm]], supplying most of the work himself.&lt;br /&gt;
*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Dorimad Sol of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;

*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Halcyon heritage hampers his abilities in Telekinesis and all related Force powers (he is just able to lift his lightsaber if at all) but in turn makes him excel in mind affecting powers as well as absorbing and dissipating energy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Fleet Admiral (ret.) of the [[TIE Corps]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Former member of the Long family as Jin-Long.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coined the nickname &amp;quot;Cooch&amp;quot; for his longest standing friend, [[Cuchulain]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Continuity ==&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ve made a claim that seems to say your brother was given into the custody of the Drall in 21 BBY to avoid the clutches of Darth Vader. That&#039;s simply not possible, in 21 BBY Anakin Skywalker was still the Padawan of Obi-wan Kenobi. Darth Vader didn&#039;t exist until the ending days of the Clone War in the year 19 BBY. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing as there is a gap of about 8 years between the next &amp;quot;section&amp;quot;, I think it&#039;s plausible these things happened during that time period with his actual &amp;quot;birth&amp;quot; happening in 21 BBY. --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 08:55, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dunno, the way it&#039;s written it seems to imply that the sibling was given up into custody of the Drall before he was even born. There&#039;s no clear delineation of time that would lead one to assume there had been an intervening period. [[User:Retoru|Retoru]] 09:02, 3 November 2006 (Mountain Standard Time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Made it clearer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;

The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;

The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance.

There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Although the Dark Side of the Force usually forever controls the destiny of those who fall prey to its offerings, occasionally there have been some that redeemed themselves - albeit by paying a high price. Members listed here have returned to the light and renounced the Dark Side once and for all. They will never be a part of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood again, although they still retain their connection to it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Halcyon Rokir]] is renowned pilot and long-time leader within the Dark Brotherhood. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Life ===&lt;br /&gt;
For the better part of his life, Halcyon was unaware of who his parents were or of any family.  However, his past has opened up to him in recent years, filling in the one piece of his life that had always eluded him.  Halcyon was born to a Jedi Master, Aerick Halcyon and his Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira.  He also had an older brother, Michael, who was almost four at the time of his birth.  Born during the infancy of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi Purges, Halcyon’s family had hidden themselves in a monastery on Drall, one of the planets in the Corellian System.  It was in this monastery where Loira gave birth to a second son, and also where they left that boy as they feared they would not be able to hide both force-sensitive children from the dreaded Darth Vader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Keeping Safe ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;17 BBY – 1 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His heritage hidden from him, Halcyon grew up in the monastery for 10 years, learning from the monks about the galaxy at large while he performed small errands throughout the complex.  A Master Shipbuilder had come to the monastery on day, knowing it acted as a refuge for children without homes.  Needing someone to perform menial tasks, as well as an apprentice to mould into his image, the Master Shipbuilder believed Halcyon to fit his needs and convinced the monks to transfer him to his care.  For the next 6 years, Halcyon worked at one of the many space-docks in the Corellian System, learning the art of shipmaking while running various jobs for his Master.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However by the age of 16 Halcyon had grown tired of life in the space-dock and yearned for more.  Although under the care of the Master Shipbuilder, Halcyon stowed away on a freighter that had docked for repairs.  The freighter’s next destination was the Corporate Sector where he managed to sneak back out and used the knowledge he had learned the past few years to earn a job as an engineer on an old YT-1000 freighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Living Life ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;1 BBY – 15 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the next 16 years Halcyon moved from sector to sector, job to job.  Each time he made a new name for himself, starting fresh in his new surroundings.  Although the galaxy went through numerous changes during this time, Halcyon stayed on the fringes, content to see and do as he pleased.  During this time he had learned to fly, operate and maintain numerous fighters and freighters.  He did not however have any long-tern friends, relationships or an actual home.  That all changed when a freighter he piloted was to unload a shipment on a world called Aurora Prime.  Upon landing, as he did on all planets, Halcyon took a tour of the main city.  This time he became enthralled and felt a deep connection to this new place.  Passing a recruitment office for the Tie Corps of the Emperor’s Hammer, he took in all of the information he could.  Finding the idea of using state of the art equipment as well as a more permanent home alluring, he applied on the spot, using the first name that seemed to come to mind, “Halcyon”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Tie Corps ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;15 ABY – 19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|right|100 px|Halcyon&#039;s Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next to all of the other new trainees Halcyon was already quite old, but his past experiences helped him quickly move into a squadron.  His career began on the flagship of the Emperor’s Hammer, the SSSD Sovereign in Wing IV as part of Yod squadron.  His skill was immediately apparent and within a few months he was asked to join the Elite Intelligence Division squadron, Praetorian.  Although tasked with being the Escort Squadron of the Supreme Director, the pilots in Praetorian were also given intensive special operations training, making them useful outside of their cockpit as well.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having gone through a number of Tours of Duty with Praetorian and already a Major in the Tie Corps, Halcyon returned to Wing IV and eventually became Commander of Yod squadron.  Yod proved to be one of the most dependable squadrons on the flagship during his time in command, successfully completing the bulk of their missions.  Halcyon walked away from leadership as a Lieutenant Colonel, become a regular flight member once more.  However he came back and became Wing Commander of Wing IV, restoring the Wing to a level of renown once more and earning him Colonel in the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Dark Brotherhood ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;17 ABY – 19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyongoa.gif|thumb|left|100 px|Halcyon&#039;s old Grant of Arms]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon’s ability with a starfighter was well known to his squad mates in Praetorian, but his success on the ground was also outstanding.  Urged by his friends Halcyon went to Eos and found that he was force sensitive.  Wanting to develop those talents he joined the Dark Brotherhood and became a Sith, member of House Oriens Obscurum in Clan Arcona.  His powers quickly developed, earning the use of a lightsaber prior to the great Vendetta as well as cementing the name of Pandragon as one of the great Sith Battleteams, leading them from the moment he was an Acolyte.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For all of his actions he was given the Quaestor position in Oriens Obscurum when his mentor, E. Tarkin, was elevated to Consul of Arcona.  He also joined the Equite ranks at this time.  After a successful term as Quaestor, Halcyon stepped down but was soon asked to be Aedile of the House and held that position under a succession of other Quaestor’s.  During this time his powers continued to grow, managing to elevate himself to the rank of Sith Battlelord and a prominent member of the Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Intelligence Division ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY – 19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although no longer a member of Praetorian, those in the Intelligence Division still kept their eyes on him.  Supreme Director Jordynn was tasked to rebuild the ID as it had grown stagnant over time.  Needing a skilled and sturdy hand she called upon Halcyon to take on the reins of the Bureau of Operations, giving him a new persona in the form of Major Gryph.  Although there for only a very short while Halcyon re-organized the entire Bureau, strengthening both Branches and making it an effective organization once more.  The Bureau was the best run at the time of his leaving, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel during the re-organization process.  Halcyon was soon called back to duty with the ID and asked to join the secretive Bureau of Internal Organization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In recent years Halcyon met and became a trusted friend of Syn Kaek, a key mastermind behind the Intelligence Division at the same time Halcyon was a Bureau Director.  It is also rumoured that Halcyon’s other persona may still be active and has perhaps been strengthened with his current association to the Long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Injustice ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;18 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although a well known and popular pilot with others, Halcyon’s skill was also seen as a threat to many.  During a flight competition in the Dark Brotherhood, evidence was planted against him by powerful forces in the Emperor’s Hammer, implicating him in various charges.  Although evidence was found to exonerate him, the High Court of Inquisitors forbade additional evidence other than what was initially brought to them.  Easily found guilty, Halcyon was stripped of his Tie Corps ranks and medals, as well as his Dark Brotherhood medals and his powers reverted back to that of a Novice.  Seeing the hypocrisy of the Fleet, Halcyon focused his energies on the force instead.  Such actions would make certain decision later on much simpler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus and Beyond ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rebirth ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the largest event in Dark Brotherhood history, the Exodus was a catalyst for many dark jedi at the time.  Tearing away from the Emperor’s Hammer, decisions had to be made by all of those involved.  For Halcyon, such a decision was simple as he left the EH behind, leaving many friends by knowing he was destined for more than to be a cog in a bureaucratic mess.  During the confusion of the time, Halcyon took the reigns of House Oriens Obscurum once more, his past abilities needed to help steady a group in turmoil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a new beginning for everyone, Halcyon brought his case before the Grand Master and the newly created Chamber of Justice.  Seeing the previous injustice wrought upon him, the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood re-instated Halcyon to the rank of Sith Battlelord as well as returned all of his previous medals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Growth ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY – 20 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a new beginning for Dark Brotherhood Halcyon also decided to test new waters.  With the position of Commander of the Guard opening he applied and was awarded the job.  As he brought together a new group of Grand Master’s Royal Guards, he was also pushed to his own physical limits, the training involved much more than what he was ever accustomed too.  Halcyon’s body went from that of a pilot to one of a true warrior.  After completing the longest single-term as CoG, Halcyon stepped down and was elevated to the Elder ranks for his efforts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having made the leap into the world of the Obelisk, Halcyon next found himself a part of a once “Krath” organization, the Antei Combat Centre.  Taking on the role of second-in-command, Halcyon proved himself adept at handling the duties of the Centre, as well as becoming a successful participant himself.  To this day Halcyon is still the Deputy Combat Master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Responsibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;20 ABY – 25 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halc_warbanner.gif|thumb|right|150 px|Halcyon&#039;s Current Warbanner]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Arcona after his stint on the Dark Council, Halcyon turned his attentions to helping the Clan continue its growth.  Beginning with Aedile of Qel-Droma, Halcyon took increasing positions of prominence within the Clan.  It was also during this time that Halcyon began a part of a true family, his friend Vassan adopting him as a “brother” into the Rokir family, a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such responsibilities finally culminated as Consul of Arcona, a position he held for a short while before the politics of the position caused him to step down and clear his head away from the Clan itself.  However Halcyon couldn’t stay away for long, called back to once again help his home.  Helping House Oriens Obscurum he was finally thrust once more into the seat of Consul, preparing the Clan for a great war in the Dark Brotherhood.  Although many bickering forces threatened to split the Clan apart, cohesion was held and Arcona weathered what would be called the Sixth Great Jedi War.  Before the war began Halcyon was elevated to the esteemed rank of Dark Jedi Master with powers that saw him successfully lead his Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Changing Pace ====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;25 ABY – &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the culmination of the war, Halcyon once again found himself yearning for more.  Having spent his entire time in Clan Arcona, he felt he no longer had any room for growth, deciding to leave his home and venture to the Clan Taldryan.  There he hoped to truly expand his powers and train in both body and mind against and unfamiliar yet powerful Clan.  Only through pushing his limits would Halcyon achieve his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon also finally came face to face with his past, learning of his heritage as an actual “Halcyon”, his brother being the traitorous Jedi Master [[Michael Halcyon]].  However, he has rejected such ties, keeping himself away from the other Halcyon Jedi, most of who fight for the New Republic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Physical ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon stands at 1.8 metres, weighing nearly 82 kilograms.  Although once having the perfect “pilot’s” body, he has since added well defined musculature to his frame which he keeps finely honed through much training.  His most striking features are his hair and eyes, both a deep emerald in colour.  Such colour is natural, although it has never been known how such colouring occurred.  One theory that has been suggested is Halcyon’s path to the dark side when compared to all other force-sensitive Halcyon’s going to the light.  Such rejection may have contributed to a rejection of regular physical features as well.  Regardless, Halcyon wears his hair long and normally has it tied tightly at the back.  He also keeps a neatly trimmed goatee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Personality ===&lt;br /&gt;
Being so in tune with the dark side causes many dark jedi to be twisted by such powers, forming many split personalities, psychosis or very angry and destructive personalities.  Halcyon however has managed to overcome or bypass such tendencies.  Having experienced and seen much prior to developing his force powers Halcyon has been able to keep his head and push through the more psychotic tendencies, even while delving deeper into such strange and powerful forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is only during battle that Halcyon reverts to a more destructive form, forgoing compassion and restraint focusing instead on victory and completing the task at hand.  Outside of that, Halcyon is normally easy-going with those he considers friends and acquaintances, although many others can see him as unemotional or detached, his face normally inscrutable in public.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weapons ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Custom Vibroblades:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
These intricately made blades are each 20 centimetres long. The entire weapon is perfectly balanced, allowing for ease of use. Although untraditional in style, these vibroblades were made to withstand the rigors of battle. The hilts contain the power core, as well as specially modified sound dampeners. The vibrations no longer emit noise from the blades. The blades themselves are made up of an ancient form of ultrachrome. This ultrachrome was then covered with enhanced-bonded plating. This plating allows the blades to deflect energy, while the ultrachrome allows the blades to survive almost any encounter. With all of its protection, the blades, when activated, can withstand two or three blows from a lightsaber before being destroyed.  The blades also have specially designed sheaths, which recharge the blades as they’re sheathed. A full charge will last nearly 5 hours of straight usage, without needing to recharge. The sheaths are designed to match the hilt of the blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Force Lance:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
The schematics for this weapon were uncovered during an expedition by Halcyon to the Unknown Regions on behalf of Arcona. There he found files pertaining to a vast interstellar alliance of worlds that nearly predated the discovery of hyperspace. This alliance was called the &amp;quot;System&#039;s Commonwealth&amp;quot; and their military, the &amp;quot;High Guard&amp;quot; used the Force-Lance as their primary weapon.  The Force-Lance looks like a harmless metallic tube approximately 1/3 meter in length. But when deployed for battle, it can be extended into a quarterstaff almost two meters long, and when used in melee, the Force-Lance can be charged with an electrical current, shocking anyone it hits into unconsciousness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Force-Lance also has a secondary feature that is just as deadly. It can also fire a plasma bolt (red colouration) in both the extended and retracted positions, which can be used in ranged combat, or maintained as a cutting tool or light source.  The bolt itself is comparable in damage to that of a Blaster carbine, although it travels a touch slower than a blaster bolt. By pressing a concealed button, the Force-Lance becomes a cutting tool with a beam of plasma roughly six-inches long and only one-inch in diameter. By lowering the power output, the beam can be widened to act as a source of light if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lightsabers:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon has built four separate hilts during his career and each one survives to this day.  His first lightsaber like many other new Dark Jedi Knights, is of a common design, taken from the Dark Brotherhood databanks.  By using a treated yellow Adegan crystal provided by his Clan, the blade was of an orange-hue.  The hilt of the blade was gold and black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His second and third lightsabers are each similar in design and fashion.  His second used a yellow Adegan crystal while his third used a blue Adegan.  The hilts themselves were simplistic in nature, using materials found close at hand.  However each blade had magnetic bottoms that could be activated by pushing in the little round bubble on the bottoms of the hilts. When put together, the blades turned into a double-bladed lightsaber. A release button caused the lightsabers to detach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With technical help from the Herald Muz, Halcyon’s fourth hilt is his most complex to date.  The hilt itself is a thin layer of Courscant marble wrapped around a hollowed durasteel alloy bar.  The marble finish has been dyed emerald.  Using a green Adegan for the blade, Halcyon also had a Nextor and Opila crystal incorporated as focusing crystals.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a final culmination of his skills, Halcyon decided to forgo traditional blade methods.  Receiving a vision of crystal-like beings, he searched them out and located them on the far off planet of Hurikane, killing one of these beings and taking from it a perfect purple crystal.  Gutting his marble-hilt, Halcyon replaced his Adegan with this new crystal, as well as installing a much more powerful cell to power the entire unit.  Using the force as guidance, he fine-tuned the mechanics, and upon activating it saw that he had created a nearly invisible blade.  The blade exists as ultra-violet light, the power cell making the blade radiate much more heat than normal but draining the cell at a quicker rate as well.  &lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira.

As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;

Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Dragons of the Brotherhood&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Long Family is a loose association of powerful Elders and promising Equites of the Brotherhood.  Founded by Grand Master Faethor Dejarc, later known and Chi-Long, to offer his tutelage to creative, expansive, and otherwise promising members of the Brotherhood.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most members of the Long Family exhibit a streak of insanity.  This may be blatantly obvious as Chi-Long&#039;s own sociopathic outrages, or the disassociative identities observed in [[Shan Long]], or the technological obsessions of Xu-Long&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chi-Long served as Patriarch for many years.  Upon his departure, he left the guidance of his Family to Master Shan-Long.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jin-Long, also known as Mike Halcyon defiled the honor of the Family by denoucing the Final Way and the Dark Side, by becoming a member of the Jedi Order once more.  Shan Long decreed him Apostate, and a Blood Hunt against him by the entire Family.  They seek his destruction ceaselessly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dragons continue to uphold the legacy and teachings of the great Lord Chi-Long, waiting for his return.  &lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir Arconae|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Long Family is a loose association of powerful Elders and promising Equites of the Brotherhood.  Founded by Grand Master Faethor Dejarc, later known and Chi-Long, to offer his tutelage to creative, expansive, and otherwise promising members of the Brotherhood.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most members of the Long Family exhibit a streak of insanity.  This may be blatantly obvious as Chi-Long&#039;s own sociopathic outrages, or the disassociative identities observed in Shan-Long, or the technological obsessions of Xu-Long&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chi-Long served as Patriarch for many years.  Upon his departure, he left the guidance of his Family to Master Shan-Long.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jin-Long, also known as Mike Halcyon defiled the honor of the Family by denoucing the Final Way and the Dark Side, by becoming a member of the Jedi Order once more.  Shan Long decreed him Apostate, and a Blood Hunt against him by the entire Family.  They seek his destruction ceaselessly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Word hasn&#039;t spread around the Long family yet that their founder, Chi-Long, has also denounced the Dark Side and joined forces with the rogue Halcyon. Most familiy members will most likely just choose to ignore it or hold it a lie. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clan Naga Sadow is one of six remaining clans in the Dark Brotherhood. It currently has two constituent houses: [[Ludo Kressh]] and [[Marka Ragnos]].  The current Consul of Clan Naga sadow is Dark Adept [[Manesh Sadow]], and the current Proconsul is Krath Archpriestess [[Kat Pridemore]].  House [[Marka Ragnos]] is currently led by [[Derev Niroth]], House [[Ludo Kressh]] is currently led by [[Xia-Long]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Brief History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tron Dlarit]], a descendent of [[Naga Sadow]], sought a refuge where he could recreate the might of Naga Sadow&#039;s empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With this idea in mind, he petitioned Grand Master [[Justinian Khyron]].  Khyron told Tron that in order to create a new house, Tron would have to seek out 35 members of the Dark Brotherhood.  However, instead of scouring the other clans for members, Tron sought out 35 rogue members.  Tron envisioned a house where outcasts would find a home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time this house of outcasts became a more established unit in the Dark Brotherhood.  When it grew large enough, Tron petitioned to have House Naga Sadow become a clan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Detailed History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Heir to an Empire&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five thousand years after his death the Sadow bloodline had all but disappeared. Those who survived the fall of the empire had disappeared into the galaxy until only one remained. Tron Dlarit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tron Dlarit grew up in a foster family oblivious to his true heritage as the heir to the Sith Empire. His father, Airen Dlarit, was the wealthy owner of the Xucphra Corporation. His eighteenth birthday came and he enlisted in the Galactic Empire and later joined the Imperial Navy after completing his training. In the Old Republic he would have been identified early but with nobody to take notice he shot through the ranks with remarkable speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was early in his career when the Emperor was killed at Endor. The Empire disbanded into a number of rogue factions but Tron Dlarit remained loyal to the Remnant. It was not long after the formation of the New Republic that he learned of the deaths of his foster family, including his sister Erisi. Soon after swearing revenge on those who killed his family he was approached by agents of the Brotherhood. They told him of his full potential and offered him a place among them. Tron Dlarit accepted without question. Together with training the Brotherhood granted him governorship of a small planet in the Outer Rim called Sif. There he and others would meet to rediscover the mysteries of the dark side and rebuild the Emperor’s New Order of the galaxy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then one fateful night Tron Dlarit was visited in his sleep by the Dark Man. The spectral apparition guided him to the Yavin system and to the Great Massassi Temple on the jungle moon of the fourth planet. Tron Dlarit plundered the temple vaults discovering a Holocron left behind five thousand years earlier by Naga Sadow. He was just preparing to depart when Luke Skywalker arrived. He knew the match could only have one possible outcome but was not prepared to surrender to the government responsible for the deaths of his foster family. Tron Dlarit fought fearlessly but in the end was no match for the Jedi Knight. Then just as they both thought the battle over the Dark Man appeared and took possession of Tron Dlarit’s body, guiding him in battle against Skywalker. The Jedi was no match for the renewed might of the darksider and Tron Dlarit was able to escape. There aboard his ship the Dark Man revealed himself as the dark spirit of Naga Sadow and revealed to Tron Dlarit his ancestry as the last surviving member of the Dark Lord’s bloodline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tron Dlarit became Tron Sadow, heir to the Sith Empire, last of the Sadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sons and Disciples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Sif the newly anointed Sith set about establishing a following. Tron Sadow dispatched envoys to summon prospective apprentices to his side. Within a few months of his meeting with the Sith Lord’s spirit the long silent call of Naga Sadow was heard and latent Force-sensitives from across the known galaxy flocked to the Phare to visit Governor Tron Sadow of Sif and hear his message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Together Tron Sadow and his new apprentices became the Sons of Sadow. In time they became a House working together in isolation inside the governor’s mansion on Sif. Tron Sadow slowly grew more distant to the Remnant as his following grew and was forced to relocate his formal residency, allowing the former mansion to become a dedicated site of dark side learning, Sadow Palace. Hidden from the galaxy in isolation the Sons of Sadow multiplied and a short time of its founding the House became a Clan. In its wake the former House left behind three new Houses named for the Sith Lord’s mentor, his great battle, and his rival. The Disciples of Ragnos, Goluud and Kressh joined with the Sons of Sadow to become the great Clan it is today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The House of the Mentor, Marka Ragnos, went to Loki, the House of the Great Battle, Primus Goluud, to Frigg, and the House of the Rival, Ludo Kressh, to Ullyr. There the three Houses worked united under the authority and leadership of Tron Sadow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== In the Shadow of the Remnant ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time passed and the Sons of Sadow grew into a powerful force under the leadership of Tron Sadow and his Consuls. The dark side was gathering in strength in the shadow of the Imperial Remnant. While the Sons of Sadow rebuilt their ancient empire the ruins of Palpatine’s empire began to squabble and tear themselves apart. The brief unity that had come of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Emperor’s leadership was disappearing. Without the Force to guide it the Imperial Remnant was sure to crumble into nothingness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then came the day when the Seven united against the oppression of the Imperial Remnant and decreed the unitary authority of the Dark Lords of the Sith. They challenged the corrupt Moffs and Governors demanding the immediate return of power to the true leaders of the empire. Their request went unheeded and the Imperial Remnant turned on them, branding them traitors, and ordering the Imperial Navy to dispose of any who challenged their authority. The Seven returned to the Dark Hall and commanded the Clans to depart for the Unknown Regions to a star system named Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sons of Sadow responded to the command of the Dark Lord of the Sith and commenced an immediate evacuation of Sif, Loki, Frigg and Ullyr. The followers of Naga Sadow emptied their vaults of anything they could stow aboard their ships and prepared to leave the system when a Victory-class star destroyer arrived. The Consul ordered that the self-destruct sequences for the various fortresses and palaces be activated, choosing rather to take their oppressors with them before surrendering to the corrupt courts of the Imperial Remnant. Tron Sadow in an act of self sacrifice stayed behind on Sif to activate the destruct sequence of Sadow Palace. Just as the Clan was prepared to jump to lightspeed an Imperial Interdictor arrived to prevent their escape. Believing everything lost the Consul was about to order a direct attack on the Interdictor when a battleship appeared in the skies over Sif. Bearing Sadow Palace atop its command bridge the unknown ship entered the battle raining fire upon the Interdictor. The Clan broke off their escape to assist the battleship when the image of Tron Sadow appeared on the bridge of the Consul’s flagship. Tron Sadow revealed the hidden secret of Sadow Palace- it was built on top of a hidden star destroyer! He directed his Sons to escape while the Palace held off the Imperial forces. The Clan withdrew from the battle and headed for their escape vector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Empire of the Immortal ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than five thousand years before the Sons of Sadow settled on Sepros the planet was discovered by Urias Orian who was one of the Sith Lords. He was an exile who had willingly left the Sith Empire to pursue his own deeper in the Unknown Regions. He had journeyed to the system of planets now named after him to begin his own empire and pursue the fountain of eternal life. Urias Orian was a twisted alchemist who spent his life in isolation on Sepros until he turned himself to stone during a ritual intended to bestow him with immortality. His body lay silent until five millennia later his temple was raided by Kiln Tobasa and Trevarus Caerick and destroyed in a fierce battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than a decade after the Great Temple was destroyed Trevarus Caerick returned leading Tron Sadow and his Sons to the system. Sadow Palace was re-established in one of the other ancient temples on Sepros. No longer under the watchful eye of the Imperial Remnant the three Houses took control of the entire system. The House of the Mentor claimed Tarthos, the House of the Great Battle took Aeotheran, and the House of the Rival established base on Dentavii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Ruination of the House of the Great Battle ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without the oppression of the Imperial Remnant the Sons of Sadow were able to spread their word without hindrance. In the privacy of the Unknown Regions even the watchful eye of the Jedi Knights could no longer impede the growth of the dark side. The Clan grew in strength under the ever faithful leadership of Tron Sadow and his Consuls eclipsing anything it had been under the corrupt regime of the Imperial Moffs and Governors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than a year had passed since the Sons of Sadow had settled at Orian when the Kem-Shu Maeda sparked a war that engulfed the Clans of the Brotherhood. Under the influence of Okemi, a Sith Lord who had been exiled by Marka Ragnos for an attempted uprising, Kem-Shu Maeda spread a corruption of the Force that turned whole Clans into mindless puppets. If not for the timely intervention of the Dark Lord of the Sith and the death of Okemi it is possible the entire galaxy could have fallen victim to the ancient Sith Lord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conflict was not without casualties. Many of the Disciples of Goluud had been killed in the fighting and not enough remained to continue their teachings. Those who had survived were forced to take shelter among the followers of Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh. The House of the Great Battle was left to fall silent in the empty halls of Aeotheran.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir Arconae|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;

Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir Arconae|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;

James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aedile]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Quaestor]], Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae&lt;br /&gt;

*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir Arconae|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy.

&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;

It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Return of the Jedi ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Forever it will control your destiny ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Side holds a firm grip over its conquered souls – and it doesn’t give them away easily. Freeing oneself from its influence is downright impossible. So how could a seasoned Dark Jedi return this way?&lt;br /&gt;
The Force is more than just a tool – it is the ultimate power that binds the galaxy. In its natural state, light and dark are in balance. If that state is disrupted, the Force will eventually find a way to bring itself back into equilibrium. During the height of the Old Republic, the balance was thrown off due to the high number of Jedi roaming the galaxy. The Force found a way in young and powerful Anakin Skywalker exterminating all but a handful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Dark Jedi Brotherhood seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, venturing away into the unknown regions, equilibrium was destroyed yet again. In a place where before neither Jedi nor Dark Jedi roamed, a whole group of Dark Side users began to take over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the Force managed to tip the scales into the other direction again. An old Corellian with a little good left in him proved to be just the right weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A spark ===&lt;br /&gt;
There had always been good remaining deep down inside of Halcyon who had by now tapped so far into the Dark Side that he was counted amongst the Brotherhood Elder’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning during the time in the Imperial Navy where he would sometimes allow fugitive families to escape contrary to all-out-destruction orders to his days in the Brotherhood where he would occasionally try to prevent excessive collateral damage, there was always a little spark. Only when he found out about his heritage did Halcyon start to have his first doubts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no specific date known when exactly Halcyon renounced the darkness and embraced the light again, although it is highly likely that it happened during his three-year-absence after the Exodus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wandering the valley of death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his return to the Brotherhood, Halcyon had to be on his guard. With the powers of a Jedi Master and his heritage giving him an aptitude for tricking other people’s minds, it wasn’t difficult to fool the bulk of the Dark Jedi. Hiding from the Elders, however, was not easy at best and outright impossible at the worst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salvation and doom came both in the shape of Halcyon’s appointment as Lord Marshal. As a Dark Councilor, the Jedi Master had access to the Brotherhood’s most precious tomes, providing priceless wisdom and insight into the Force. It was one of Darth Sidious’ books where it was explained how the Sith used the Dark Side to shroud their presence from the Jedi. The Jedi Council knew that the Dark Side had become powerful – but they did not know more. Applying the same technique, Halcyon was able to hide his true being by diffusing his presence into a larger aura of the Force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discovery and escape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Time and the presence of the Grand Master as well as powerful Dark Jedi, however, would finally take its toll. Jac Cotelin was the one who tried to trap and destroy him, but as fate would have it, the Jedi was able to narrowly escape from Antei. The Brotherhood’s Elders worked together to seal off the entire system in a shroud of the Dark Side, but with outside help, Halcyon was able to make his way to safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Present day ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mike_halcyon_old.jpg|frame|An old Michael Halcyon contemplates about the nature of the Force and the tasks he is facing in the years to come.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon’s current whereabouts are unknown, but it can be taken for certain that he has found refuge somewhere in the uncharted systems, building up a force to stand against the Dark Brotherhood’s galaxy-threatening aspirations. With him is without doubt his old Padawan learner [[Reb Qel-Droma]], as well as – surprising to most – Grand Master Emeritus [[Faethor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DJB Facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Important Achievements ===&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Halcyon worked on many important aspects of the [[DJB]] including:&lt;br /&gt;
*Devised the [[Master/Student Program]] as it is in service throughout the brotherhood now while serving as [[Quaestor]] in [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Lead [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] to become the First [[Krath]] [[House]] of the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Positions held ===&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon held the following positions at one time during his career:&lt;br /&gt;

*[[Aedile]], Cestus of Tarentum&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Obelisk High Commander]] ([[EHDB]])&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Lord Marshal]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;

*Former teacher and close friend to Reb Qel-Droma, now a Jedi Knight.&lt;br /&gt;
*Recognized as one of the best saberists in the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]].&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Jedi Master and amongst the oldest Elders, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mike Halcyon&#039;&#039;&#039; has freed himself from the clutches of the Dark Side and now faces the monumental task to rebuild the Jedi Order far beyond the reaches of civilized space to battle the [[DJB]]&#039;s agents of destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Character History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early Years ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;21 BBY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Bela Vistal, Corellia, Halcyon grew up the son of Jedi-in-hiding Aerick and his native Corellian wife and CorSec officer, Loira. His brother, [[Halcyon Rokir Arconae|Corran]], had been given into custody into a monastry on Drall, their parents fearing they wouldn’t be strong enough to protect both of their children powerful in the Force from the hands of [[Darth Vader]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Aerick would try to teach his remaining son the ways of the light, he never revealed himself to be the Jedi Master he was. This secret resulted in a rift between father and son, allowing Imperial propaganda to sway young Halcyon to the Empire’s cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joining the Imperial Navy, Halcyon soon turned out to be a crack pilot – no doubt owning his success to his skills in the Force that still lay dormant. Rising through the ranks swiftly and eventually even serving under Captain Piett onboard the ISD Accuser, Halcyon declined the offer for a tour of duty in Death Squadron, Darth Vader’s personal fighter wing, in favour of a continued service with Piett with which he had become close friends. Halcyon and Vader never met in person, and as such, the Dark Lord of the Sith was unaware of his Force-sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike Halcyon witnessed the Battle of Endor first hand from the cockpit of his TIE Interceptor. Taking out several Rebel craft, he was eventually hit by a rogue X-Wing after the destruction of Death Star II and the ensuing chaos. The laser blast hit the port wing stabilizers, forcing Halcyon to retreat to the nearest Imperial vessel. The scattered fleet made the jump to hyperspace, and the Empire was defeated forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood I ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;13 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serving as [[CAG]] under Admiral Pellaeon in the Imperial Remnant, the years went on. As fate would have it, however, Halcyon’s fighter – now a TIE Advanced – was crippled during a hit-and-run attack on a New Republic supply cache. Though the Remnant fleet had to retreat, it was a Brotherhood task force that hit the same cache just minutes after, finding no supplies but an untrained Force sensitive instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon was brought to Eos and inducted into the ways of the Dark Side. Joining the ranks of [[House Acclivis Draco]] of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] as a [[Sith]], he quickly showed great skills in wielding the powers of the Force. It was then that the young Dark Jedi discovered his heritage as a Halcyon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== TIE Corps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;14 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calling of the vastness of space was stronger than the prospect of years of studying dusty books, and so Halcyon joined the [[Emperor&#039;s Hammer|Emperor’s Hammer’s]] [[TIE Corps]] onboard SSD Avenger as a member of Stalker Squadron.&lt;br /&gt;
Again, Halcyon displayed excellent performance, rising through the ranks as Squadron Commander of Shield Squadron onboard ISD Relentless and eventually receiving an admiral’s commission as Fleet Medical Officer, albeit under a different name: Mike Tolwyn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Tolwyn established the Fleet Medical Corps, rebuilding it to serve the pilots in a better way. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, earning a Grand Order of the Emperor and an Imperial Cross on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frictions between the Emperor’s Hammer’s commanding officers and the demise and eventual failure of the Medical Corps lead to Halcyon taking his hat and retiring from active duty, forever severing his ties with the Emperor’s Hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood II ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:halcyon_obelisk.jpg|left|frame|A younger Halcyon sporting an ancient battle armor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;16 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Clan Scholae Palatinae – this time as a [[Krath]] – Halcyon devoted his energy into mastering the dark arts. During his tenure in Acclivis Draco, he devised the Master-Student-Program which is now widely used in the DB as well as leading the house to become the very first First Krath House of the Brotherhood ever, influencing not only HAD but the entire Clan as well to quite a degree. Those times are commonly referred to as &#039;&#039;the Golden Years of Scholae Palatinae&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halcyon switched orders from [[Krath]] to [[Obelisk]], assuming command of CSP’s then Obelisk House, [[House Dorimad Sol|Dorimad Sol]]. Leading it to victory in the following Clan feud, personal issues forced Halcyon to transfer to [[House Cestus]] of [[Clan Tarentum]] afterwards. There he remained for a short time until he finally left again to head for the Outer Rim to meditate and get some rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Exodus ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;19 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching the brutal civil war from the sidelines, Halcyon initially refused to side with either party. But after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had seceded from the Emperor’s Hammer, he kept close ties with Antei.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the loss of a large number of Elders, numerous positions went vacant in the EHDB, and then Grand Master Khaen appointed Halcyon to Obelisk High Commander. In his tenure as OHC, Halcyon devised an original simple but elegant rule- and dice-based system to be used in fictional fights, bearing similarities to the ACC but relying on objective random numbers instead of subjective battle judgements. Unfortunatley, the system (“Blasters, Blades and Bullets”) never took off as Sector Admiral Astatine disposed of Khaen and effectively ground all innovations to a halt through lack of support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Astatine was his main reason to leave the Emperor’s Hammer, it soon became clear for Halcyon that the EHDB wasn’t a suitable place for him any longer. Leaving Eos in the dark of the night, he took off with a destination unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dark Jedi Brotherhood III ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;22 ABY&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After three long years of absence, Halcyon returned to the DJB again. Knowing that the Emperor’s Hammer still had their spies within the group and not wanting to place old friends still on Eos in jeopardy, he disguised himself as James McKenna, a veteran Admiral of the Clone Wars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James McKenna found a new home in Clan Plagueis with only a handful of people knowing his true identity. The still young Clan was in desperate need of experienced members, and so McKenna quickly took over as one of the senior prominent figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Jedi’s time in Plagueis was short lived, however, when [[Jac Cotelin]] – one of the few who knew his true identify – appointed him the first (and only) [[Lord Marshal]], a newly created Dark Council Position in charge of multiplayer events, the DJB’s guilds and societies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Marshal, Halcyon dropped his disguise. Always on the forefront of battle, he honed his and the membership’s fighting skills by squaring off against numerous opponents. Aside of that, Halcyon devised the rules of engagement for online multiplayer events, cleaning up slow-working societies and guilds, and organized various battle events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
