'''Jaspen Kraitus''' is a [[starwars:Human|Human]] [[starwars:Male|male]] [[starwars:Force_adept|Force Adept]] and a self-styled [[starwars:Jedi Knight|Jedi Knight]]. He was born with the power of Third Sight and has been forced to carry the [[starwars:Dark side|dark stain]] of being [[Marked of the Wanderer|Marked]] his whole life. He was discovered by Sejj Beriss when he was a boy and briefly trained in the [[starwars:Lightsaber combat|Jedi Arts]], until Beriss was brutally murdered by [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Jaspen has since wandered the Galaxy alone, doing good where he can as a "Jedi", despite being shunned by the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]] proper as a [[starwars:Darksider|darksider]].

He was drawn to the [[Orian system]] for reasons he did not completely understand near the end of the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong War]] in late [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|29 ABY]]. In early [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|30 ABY]], after he learned the [[Dlarit Corporation]] was being manipulated by a [[Clan Naga Sadow|dark side cult]], and teamed up with a group of Jedi stranded in the system by the war to unmask the darksiders and free the system from their oppression.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Jaspen spent his life trying to make sense of his past, chasing leads and dealing with whatever [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Dark Jedi]] and cults he came across. He hated the dark side, and just hoped that one day he would come across the darksiders who could explain to him [[Marked of the Wanderer|what he was]]: and undo it.

===Following the threads===
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jaspen continued on his endless journey. Neither a soldier, nor welcome among the knights of the Jedi Order, he was unable to help fight on the front lines, but did what he could to aid those on the war ravaged worlds he visited willing to accept his help. However, on many worlds he found himself cursed by all sides: spurned by Jedi as a darksider, yet simultaneously hunted as one by the Vong themselves and [[starwars:Peace Brigade|Peace Brigade]] sympathisers. Overall, life changed little for Jaspen, forever the outcast, just trying to uphold the [[starwars:Light side|light]].

Toward the end of the war he found himself drawn to the little known [[Orian system]], home to the [[Dlarit Corporation]] mining guild. He didn't know why he had come, only that [[starwars:Force|the Force]] had led him there. What he found haunted his thoughts: refugees shut out of the [[Seng Karash|city]] proper, forced to endure poverty and go hungry. But his bigger worry was the overwhelming [[starwars:Dark side|dark pressure]] on his mind that told him something about Orian was simply ''wrong''.

He befriended a former Jedi turned [[starwars:Bounty hunter|Bounty hunter]] [[Aisha Qifaxa]], who he hired to help him get to the bottom of the dark presence he sensed pervaded the system. However, in early 30 ABY, while on route from [[Seng Karash]] to [[San Korinar]] for a meeting with Aisha, Jaspen came across a criminal wanted poster for a [[Trevarus Caerick|Trevarus Irad Caerick]]: bearing the exact same tattoo as Jaspen. After years of searching, Jaspen believed he may have tracked down the man he was searching for: the man who could answer him once and for all the question: "What am I?".

===Revelations===
Events took a turn for the worst when Jaspen was assaulted a thief in the Miner's Daughter bar in San Korinar, where he had arranged to meet Aisha. After killing the thug with his lightsaber, he was accosted by a woman named "Stacia" who cautioned him against pursuing the man in the wanted poster. She warned him to quit acting like a Jedi in public, or leave the system if he didn't want to be hunted down by the Dlarit Corporation's [[Dlarit Special Operations Group|secret police]].

Jaspen grew worried when Aisha didn't show up to the meeting. Later, upon sensing her plea for help through the Force, he tried to hurry to the spaceport in the Upper City to find her, only to run into a squad of commandos from the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]]. Rather than give himself up, he fled to the outskirts of the city–running into a dead end at a well known suicide spot: "Death's Edge". Surrounded by DSOG operatives, Jaspen made the only choice he had: he jumped. However, instead of falling to his death in the crushing gases of [[Amphor]]'s lower atmosphere, he was saved by an unknown power. After passing out, he awoke, safe, back in a trash heap in the streets of San Korinar. He had no idea how he had got there.

Sensing Aisha to still be in danger, Jaspen resigned himself to using his "gift" to stare into the Force and locate her. Heading to a public transit station, he opened himself and saw the threads that laced the inhabitants of the system together: and the masses of dark shadows crawling everywhere. Gazing into the essence of the Force, he felt his mind being dragged into a black hole and passed out. He awoke to the sight of a woman on the ground before him: strangled to death–by his own hand.

Before Jaspen could react, alarms went off and the station was evacuated. When he emerged from the refresher stall, he came across Aisha and her [[Macron|new master]]. Forced to fight him against her wishes, he had no choice but to engage the [[starwars:Zeltron|Zeltron]] girl in battle. Although Aisha was competent with her bloodshine blade, Jaspen's unique style and accessory "shoto" short lightsaber gave him the upper hand.

Macron then interrupted the two and dueled Jaspen with a single lightsaber. The Sith used [[Dun Moch]] to taunt the young man and a [[starwars:Force Crush|Force Crush]] to wrack him into unconsciousness, easily besting him. Just as her new master seemed about to land the killing blow on the now-helpless Jaspen, a team of other Jedi who had been stranded in the system by the war arrived–having come to save Aisha themselves.

Across the system on [[Tarthos]], [[Tsainetomo Keibatsu]] activated the station's emergency systems, buying Macron the distraction he needed to escape–taking Aisha with him–leaving Jaspen with the ragtag collection of stranded [[starwars:Jedi Knights|Jedi Knights]].

===The Order of the Shield===
Having confirmed the presence of darksiders operating in the system, and at least some masquerading as officers of the Dlarit Corporation, Jaspen joined forces with the stranded Jedi–who were prepared, albeit reluctantly, to put aside their reservations of him bearing the Mark. Cut off from the rest of the Jedi Order by the Vong War and the tight restrictions on transport and communication placed on refugees by the Dlarit Corporation, they formed the [[Order of the Shield]] and began planning how to unmask the true conspiracy behind the Dlarit Corporation, and eradicate the dark side threat.

==Trivia==
Jaspen Kraitus will feature prominently in a Clan Feud planned for Clan Naga Sadow for after the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] (most likely early-to-mid Summer 2009). He made his first appearance in the Ares Rising run-on in February 2009.

Jaspen was created by Trevarus Caerick and a close friend from real life to involve him in Star Wars stories without being a Dark Sider.

Marked of the Wanderer

'''Of Historical Interest'''

The first Student of Darth is known only as the [[Wanderer]]. What we know about him, is hidden in mystery and legend. In the days when hyperspace travel was still a young technology, he was gifted with the Sight to see beyond the stars. He wandered far and wide in the galaxy, seeing much in five decades, before he crashed on a far distant world. In the Tales of the Third Sight, the accounts of the Wanderer’s meeting with Darth are chronicled as coursing over three days, each day, the Master of our Masters approached the Wanderer, asking questions of him, and seeking his replies. Darth took the Wanderer as his first Apprentice, and together they traveled to the center of the Galaxy.

As the First Apprentice’s insight grew, he saw the Dark Side as the same crossed web of his own travels. Seeing much, and wandering far, he saw the interconnections of the Dark Side in all things. Even after Darth left, when the Schism between the Sons of Light and Darkness grew so great, the Wanderer was able to find his Master by tracing the connection between Master and Student.

According to an account given by the student of the Wanderer, his Master traced an eye in the middle of the his own forehead, jagged and bloody, with a sharp piece of stone from the cursed sands of Korriban. His blood spilled, dooming that world to Darkness forever, as the heart of the Sith Empire. It is said that the Eye first opened, and he was able to trace the Weavery of the Dark Side, through a strange power he called The Sight.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the Marked, as the students of the Wanderer began to refer to themselves, traveled far and wide, as did their Master. The goal of each of the Marked, is to study the Dark Side, in all its permutations, to be better able to understand the implications of the Final Order.

In the modern nights, the Marked of the Wanderer number only a dozen or so. Of those, Adept Kiln Tobasa, Dark Jedi Master Kem-Shu Maeda, and Dark Adept Trevarus Caerick are seen with any regularity. Trevarus, is the founder of the small cult of Marked that exist within the Krath Order of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, and the only Thrice Marked that is active in the Brotherhood. He has taken a few students, and teaches them the ancient ways of this arcane school of Dark Side philosophy.

'''Words of the Marked'''

''Lexicon:''

''Balance, The:'' The unity of the Force before the separation of the Light and Dark Forces. Also called the Essence. Is the full some of the struggle of the War of Beginning, as it is manifested in the balance of lights and darkness in the Universe.

''Chaos: '' The inherent instability that is predicated on the idea of Choice. Each choice, has a particular reaction, that can establish, or destroy threads of Light and Dark influence.

''Chronicle of Dark Souls: '' The compilation of Dark Side wisdom assembled by the Krath Scholar, Trevarus Caerick. It is divided into three books: The Book of Memories, the Book of Wisdom, and the Book of Twilight.

''Pluck: '' The act of manipulating a Thread, to various ends.

''Points:'' A focus of Light or Dark energy, usually a person, but also pertains to places and objects, also called Nodes

''Mark, The: '' The Mark of the Wanderer, the strange tattoo of an eye that is marked in the middle of the forehead, of all Marked of the Wanderer. When the Sight is called, the Mark opens; it appears as a violet-red orb, with a heavy lid, glows violetly when aroused

''Mundane: '' Those who do not possess the capacity to become Jedi

''Third Sight, The: '' The power granted by the Mark, to see the interconnections of the Tapestry, and to pluck them.

''Thread: '' A connection between two Points, as an expression of the Balance. A thread is always light or dark, though an individual person or object may express threads of either Force. Threads vary in thickness, revealing their strength and potential possibilities; the thicker a thread, the more powerful and the more possible outcomes. Light influence will appear as a blindingly white pulse of energy, dark influences will appear as thick oily bands of shadow.

''Weavery, The:'' The web of connections between points also referred to as the Tapestry.

'''The Methodology of Madness:'''

First, there is the Balance, as the expression of the conflict between the Light and Darkness. The Balance was once in perfect unison, neither light nor dark, but an endless Void of Nothingness. According to the Book of Memories, the War of Beginning started with the emergence of Chaos, as the expression of Choice. Choice represents the force Chaos, as the supreme radical, and unknown. Every decision made by a sentient being, is an expression of chaos. The War was fought between the Great Sword of Darkness, and the Great Shield of Light. For seven days, and seven nights, the two Forces battles, the power screaming like thunder through the Void. As they battled, great chips of each were felled. Each shard of light became a single star. Each shard of Sword, in turn became a planet, or moon.

Life, and the emergence of Choice, became the vehicle by which the Choice spread. Life creates the Force, and strengthens the War. It is the Choices between Light and Darkness that upsets the Balance.

Every decision made, is an expression of Light and Dark.

The Essence of the Dark Side is selfishness. The Ends of a follower of the Dark Path are always to his own design. Yet, the Dark Side is strengthened by the Mundane. Murder, theft, anger, selfish desires, all are the power of the Dark Side. When someone begins to express the Dark Side, two Points are always established, with a Thread between. The first Point is the person who has feelings of hate, the Thread goes from him, and attaches to the object of his hate, which becomes the second point. When a Dark Jedi uses his power to influence another, a point is established. The ancient tombs of Korriban are an utter maze of Points and Threads. Great cobwebs of interconnections stretch between the tombs themselves, and Threads even lead where none can follow, presumably into the Dark Side itself, and the spirit-forms of the entities that created the threads.

Conversely, selflessness is the heart of the Light. Expressions of love, joy, purity, and altruism create a Point and Thread of Light influence. Powerful Jedi Masters are few and far between, even with the fall of the Empire, and the collapse of the Sith Empire. Their lack of influence on the Light Side has significantly weakened the Tapestry of Light. Some records of Marked of nights long past, recount days when it was hard to follow Threads of Darkness across the Galaxy, because of the obscuring influence of so much light.

Within the Balance, there is a spectrum of connections, with there being few beings of only Light Threads, and few beings of wholly Dark Influence. Most fall somewhere in between, either towards light or darkness. Each choice, each emotion, can create or destroy a thread. As the individual moves towards either end of the spectrum, they become even more susceptible to the influence of either Force. The goal of the Marked is twofold. First, they strive to See as many connections as possible, especially within themselves. Second, they seek to influence the connections they see, to create more Dark Points.

Most of the Marked are great wanderers themselves, searching far and wide. Most recognize a thick black thread that seems to lead to nowhere, into the Force itself, apparently. It is believed that this is the Influence of the Wanderer on their spirits. In following this Thread, many have been lead to places of great importance, gaining valuable insight. It is said, that in his compilation of the Chronicle of Dark Souls, Trevarus Caerick spent the better part of three years following his own connection far and wide across the Galaxy proper.

Finally, the Marked seek to gain mastery of the very essence of Chaos. They seek to make every aspect of their existence, a careful choice. They recognize that the Dark Side requires a dangerous path. Many Dark Jedi, with insufficient knowledge, have fallen prey to their emotions, being a richer fuel for access to the power of the Dark Side. They fall to powerful expressions of anger, hatred, and other emanations of the Dark Side. While it is possible to create powerful points and threads of Dark influence though the unleashing of powerful emotions, the Dark Jedi becomes mentally unstable. Rather than creating one massive connection, the Marked seek to increase their influence, through the creation of many, smaller threads, to gain access to more power, by the exponential strength of each new connection, as it relates to the whole. They will work to instill fear, doubt and misapprehension, rather than reverting to their baser powers over the Mind, that way, there are many threads connecting them to the Dark Side itself, and if one fails, they have lost little in terms of overall power.

It is this factor, the Individual Balance, that most interests the Marked. By expelling their Threads of Light, and increasing their Threads of Darkness, they become more powerful in the Dark Side. With so many threads connecting them, it becomes much easier to use the Dark Side for more subtle, or even minor workings. A simple feat, such as a minor use of Telekinesis, is the creation of a thread, between the point of the Jedi, and the point of the telekinetically manipulated object. The strength of the Jedi’s will alone establishes that thread, but it only goes one way. It gains the Jedi some temporary benefit.

To truly establish connections, they must have others making choices about them. A thread from another, with the Jedi as the object of fear, creates a powerful Thread. The Jedi draws on this Thread for greater power.

The ultimate goal of the Marked of the Wanderer, is to herald the Final Order. According to their prophecies, the Herald shall emerge during a time of great galactic strife, to be called by the Seven Who Stand in Darkness. None is sure what this means, but each has their own ideas. They comb the Dark Side, looking for powerful connections that might lead them to a greater understanding. They believe that when the Balance is destroyed, their insight will grant them the full power of Chaos, that their own designs will govern reality, with perfect harmony.

'''A Practical Lesson'''

''Transcribed by an unknown'' Erro ''from the words of Trevarus Caerick''

“See the teeming masses of Mundane, young one? Look around, with your two eyes. Everywhere you look are criminals, lovers, parents, sons, daughters, and addicts. Each label, is actually a thread of influence. Each of these beings crowded in this market, is a tangled interconnection of influences, that push and pull them through their daily lives. Each choice they make, brings Chaos into their souls. Every time they look around, something is happening to bring instability to them.”

“Here are two lovers. They do not see us, but we can watch the connections pulling between them. Look at the strands of light, the way they twist and twirl around each other, like a braided cord. Each cord, or Thread, is made up of many smaller threads, these are the threads of possibility. You see how some connect the lovers, while others are frayed, and broken. Each individual Thread between these lovers, represents a relationship of possibility. Some, are thin and worn looking, less bright than others. I can pluck on each, like a fine harp. Each pull will cause some reaction. Watch his mind as I tug here….”

“You saw the glimmer of revulsion, did you not? Excellent. Each thread may be affected with the proper insight. A small shadowed thread has been created now, the potential for chaos and Darkness has been increased. Use your will, and take that thread, weave it through the other strands that mark this place. Attach to that other female, and watch his eyes avert. He is lustful now, less mindful of his lover. You see more Dark threads snaking back and forth. We have caused discord, and strife. Their relationship will never be the same.”

“That thread? Why, it pleases me that you asked. Even as I touched the mind of that young man, a thread connected my Point, to his. The Darkness that marks my place in the Weavery, as you can see, is a maze of threads. Some lead in, others lead outwards. I am quite influential, and many have influences on me. This thread is of particular interest to me, and I watch it carefully, to see when…..that is none of your concern, young one.”

“You can even see the threads connecting you and I. As your teacher, my influence over your is great. You have slight influence over others, but as you rise in stature within the Brotherhood, so too will the number of threads leading from your Point. Even the Mundanes who pass by, and feel a glimmer of fear, from the radiance of my power, establish a connection to me, that empowers me. You can draw power from the connections others establish to you. In turn, you might lose strength from those who influence you. The respect that you show to the Grand Master, or your Consul, enhances their place in the Dark Side.”

“As your Sight develops, you will begin to see even more intricate and delicate weavings of influence. Each a single thread, might be a maze of deeper interconnections, exhibiting the endless possibilities inherent in Chaos. Even the manipulation of a single minute possibility, can have a massive impact on the end result. Each move you make, must be carefully considered, lest the whole scheme unravel at your very fingertips. Make judicious use of your Understanding. The Sight is powerful, and its influence great. The Strength of your will alone is often sufficient to establish a connection, without resorting to the manipulation of preexisting threads.”

“When the Balance shifts, you will be the most prepared to take advantage of the possibilities, young one. The best advice I can give for the future, will always be to travel far, and see much. Follow the thick thread that leads into the Void, let is show you mysteries that perhaps I am not even privy to. As your own knowledge increases, you affect the Brotherhood, and the Order, strengthening our resolve, and driving us closer to the Time of Unending Darkness.”

'''The Threads that Spin:'''

The Marked of the Wanderer are among the most zealous archaeological lore-seekers in the galaxy. Applicants must spend at least a month in the field with a member of the School. Further, they prize scholarship and research capabilities. This requires that they bring one lost fragment of the Chronicle of Dark Souls and present it to the Master of the School, Trevarus Caerick. If he is suitably impressed with their abilities, they will be admitted.

'''Entry Requirements:'''

*Rank of Krath Archpriest or Militant Equivalent.
*Active in the Krath Order for one year, or equivalent Militant Order
*Participated in three Order-wide competitions, including at least one Great Jedi War or Krath *Rite of Supremacy
*Written one work (100 lines) acceptable for inclusion in the Chronicle of Dark Souls
*Final approval by Trevarus Caerick

'''Titles of the Wanderers'''

*''Erro Marked of the Wanderer:'' These are the newest initiates into the Marked of the Wanderer. They are always the direct Apprentice of a Thrice Marked, and less frequently to a Secunda.

*''Thrice Marked of the Wanderer:'' Generally, the Thrice Marked are high-level Equites or newly appointed Elders. They are always directly Apprenticed to a Secunda Marked. There are never more than three Thrice Marked.

*''Secunda Marked of the Wanderer: '' These are two of the most powerful Marked, and are always the direct Apprentices of the Prima. They never number more than Two, and are always powerful Elders

*''Prima Marked of the Wanderer: '' This Jedi is the direct representative of the Wanderer himself, and is the most powerful Marked. He oversees the whole body of the Marked of the Wanderer.

'''Gifts of the Mark:'''

Due to the unique philosophies of the Marked of the Wanderer, they have many interesting ways of detecting the influence of the Force. Any Marked need only open the Mark, to identify a Jedi using a Force Power. A Dark Jedi’s power will show as a Thread of Shadow connecting the Jedi to the object of their power. In the same idea, they can detect the relative level of the Jedi’s strength, by determining the number, and power of the threads leading into, and out of the Dark Jedi. A Grand Master will have almost no threads leading in, and will have innumerable threads leading out. The relative size of their Point, will also be like a huge pool of shadow, pulsing along their connections.

A Light Jedi too, may be identified in the same way, with their threads coursing as beams of pure white light.

When the Sight is activated, the Marked loses their “normal” sight. Their vision becomes colorless and vague, as they study the Weavery. Everything is blurred, and otherwise obscured. If the Marked is emotionally angry, then their sight is also pusling red, dripping with bloody gore. The various Points within the Weavery, are the first objects the Sight reveals. The level of their training determines the detail that each Marked sees. At the lowest level, a general Point size can be determined, and larger threads can be identified. At the higher levels, the most minute details are visible, and the Marked can make an accurate judgement of how long a Jedi has been at their Rank.

The most powerful of the Marked, can influence the Threads that they can see. This process, of Plucking, can adjust the way the Force influences the interconnected points. For instance, it might be possible for a Marked to cause a thread connecting a Jedi to his lightsaber to break, and the Jedi would drop his weapon. Or, a Jedi studying his opponent, anticipating his attacks, might find that his judgments are wholly incorrect, and be greviously wounded, or even slain. Obviously, the relationships between Rank still apply. A Marked of the status of Krath Priest, would not be able to easily alter the threads of an Adept.

Finally, the Sight of the Mark assists the Jedi in strengthening the interrelationships of groups of magicians, working in unison. By fortifying the bonds between the participants, their magic can be rendered all but impervious to failure.

Is it possible to find and read the Chronicles to get and idea of what one needs to write. Also, what with the DV being shut down, will a new requirement be added?
[[User:Kalak Ragnose|Kalak Ragnose]] 13:47, 23 February 2009 (MST)

I dunno what this is or what it really refers to, but I can say that it is absolutely retarded. Should be marked for deletion :P --[[User:Shadow Taldrya|Shadow Taldrya]] 19:53, 23 February 2009 (MST)

This is just silly Trev nonsense. You don't need to worry about it :P --[[User:Kaek|Kaek]] 19:54, 23 February 2009 (MST)

I actually think it's really good. I'd like to join at some point, so updated Requirements would be usefil.

This form was created by GM Chi Long, and given approval by Xanos Zorrixor during his capacity as DGM. Many thanks. -Trev

I talked with Xanos and he did not clearly remember ever approving this. I talked with Jac and he did not approve this. This is pending my decision. It will come shortly. --[[User:Sarin|Sarin]] 15:50, 25 September 2007 (MDT)

I just have one question to pose in reference to this article, as well as any others that are not "DB Official." We allow for people to have articles on their own personal craft and other such. We invite people to work together on facets of their own characters that can encompass pretty much anything, as long as they don't go overly ridiculous (like owning personal ISDs and such). Even if this form is not approved as "DB Official," is it going to hurt anything to have it as something developed by the Longs that we use for personal fiction and such? And, does it hurt or hinder people to use the Wiki for "unofficial" things, or does it help people have a central location for them, and their friends in the DB and such, for information they may use in the present or future? If Sarin decides this is unofficial, no worries. Remove it from the "official martial arts listing." But I'd suggest there's no reason to remove it unless it specifically goes against regulations and such, and really provides a bad example for what people should not be doing whatsoever. And so on, and so forth, blah blah, blah. -Bloodfyre

''"In the beginning, there was only darkness... and blood. When we awoke, we feasted on that one, and awakened... fighting the countless nameless voices that tear in our mind. Yet we live on..."'' -Shan Long

'''Shan Long''' was once known as [[Trevarus Caerick]]. When the Dragon Ascended, he consumed the Master Sadow's soul, thus uniting what had been seperated. He is cold, calculating, and distant. He moves with a brutal efficiency that reminds those of his past as the venerable and pedagogical Caerick. Yet, there remains the prophetic bloodlust for which Shan Long was renowned. After the events at Lehon, few members of the the Brotherhood know how to react when confronted with this Engima and his prophetic insight.

{{quote|Every breath of life brings the Final Way to its consummation, yet every death ultimately reveals the wisdom to survive into the Final Order. How many deaths have you suffered, young one?|Trevarus Sadow}}

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi. He is the current [[Proconsul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]].

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:shanlong.jpg|left|200px|Trevarus after retrieving the Amulet of Orian]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi. He is the current [[Consul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]].

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:shanlong.jpg|left|200px|Trevarus after retrieving the Amulet of Orian]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:shanlong.jpg|left|200px|Trevarus after retrieving the Amulet of Orian]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi. He is the current [[Consul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]].

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

{{Quote|Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it.|Darth Vexatus}}
'''Darth Vexatus''', born '''Xanos Zorrixor''' on Falleen, is a [[Sith Lord]] and a former Jedi Knight. After turning his back on the Jedi Order he apprenticed himself to a Dark Jedi called [[Vykan]] and joined the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]]. He eventually fell under the influence of [[Trevarus Caerick]] and began to question the Brotherhood, eventually denouncing it after he came to believe the [[Star Chamber]] had betrayed him.

Xanos Zorrixor was reborn as [[Darth]] Vexatus following his time in Yuuzhan Vong captivity. When Vexatus returned to the Brotherhood he and his Master have since manipulated events to discover the location of the planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lehon Lehon] and the [[Heart of the Force]].

==Biography==
===Early life ([[24 BBY to 1 BBY|15 BBY]] – [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]])===
====Isolation ([[24 BBY to 1 BBY|15 BBY]] – [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]])====
Xanos Zorrixor was born during the height of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Empire Galactic Empire] on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Falleen_(planet) Falleen] in [[24 BBY to 1 BBY|15 BBY]]. His father, Count [[Haxim|Haxim Zorrixor]], was a prominent noble in [[House Zorrixor]] and the lord of a sizable estate on Falleen. His mother, [[Maziel|Maziel Izhiq]], was a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi Jedi] survivor of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars] who had lived in exile with her husband since the fall of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Republic Old Republic]. Xanos grew up alone on his father’s estate, forced to keep a low profile to shield his Force-sensitivity from the outside world.

In [[24 BBY to 1 BBY|8 BBY]] the Empire bombarded a city ruled by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/House_Sizhran House Sizhran] to contain a biohazard leak. The incident drove Xanos’s parents to hate the Empire more than they already did, but they stopped short of active protest to ensure their son’s safety. However, when the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star Death Star] was destroyed, Xanos accompanied his parents when they attended the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_of_Uncommitted_Worlds Conference of Uncommitted Worlds] on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kabal Kabal]. They became trapped when the Empire blockaded the planet and narrowly escaped the orbital bombardment of the capital city of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shoribus Shoribus] where the conference was taking place after its location was leaked to the Empire by one of the Rebellion’s own. After the incident on Kabal, Xanos’s parents became unwilling to trust the Rebellion and decided against offering any support.

====The Aargau Incident ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]])====
In [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]] [[Xora Zorrixor|Xora]], Xanos’s sister was born. The same year Xanos and his father were accosted by thieves while on a visit to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aargau Aargau]. Acting out of pure instinct Xanos called on the power of the Force to defend himself. Panicked, the thieves ran away. Xanos had no idea what he had done but his father was shocked and urgently took his son back to Falleen. Weeks passed and nothing happened. Eventually Maziel and Haxim were satisfied the police had not believed the thieves, had they even reported the incident. Nevertheless, Xanos now knew his mother was a Jedi and so Maziel took it upon herself to train him.

===Jedi training ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]] – [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|5 ABY]])===
====Tragedy ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|1 ABY]] – [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|3 ABY]])====
{{quote|How is the Force any different to a lightsaber?|Xanos Zorrixor, questioning the Jedi Code}}
[[Image:Xanosyoung.gif|thumb|right|Xanos Zorrixor at the time of his family's death]]Xanos was technically too old to begin the training but Maziel wanted her son to be able to protect himself even if he found it hard to embrace the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Code Jedi Code] at his age. Maziel hoped she could teach her son enough that he would not become seduced by the dark side. She gave Xanos one of her lightsabers which she had kept since the Clone Wars and trained him in [[Soresu]].

In [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|3 ABY]] an [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Inquisitor Imperial Inquisitor] named Arystul Deyal came looking for the child who had used the Force on Aargau. Maziel sacrificed herself to allow her family to escape but Xanos became separated from Haxim and Xora. Xanos was able to fight his way out and watched from the distance as the ship Haxim and Xora tried to escape on was shot down and exploded. Xanos fled Falleen never wanting to step foot on the planet again.

====Revenge ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|5 ABY]])====
{{quote|If the Jedi had done something decades ago the rot would never have sunk so deep|Xanos Zorrixor, questioning why the Jedi had ever allowed the Republic to fall}}
Xanos spent the next two years moving from world to world rarely staying in one place for long. The threat of the Empire coming after him again forced him to change his name and he adopted his mother’s name, becoming Xanos Izhiq. Xanos discovered he could use the Force to influence others and became adept at using it to cheat at sabacc in order to get by. He became obsessed with revenge, blaming himself for what had happened, wishing he had only been strong enough.

Using his father’s old contacts, such as his associates in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_Merchants'_Guild Corellian Merchants’ Guild], he managed to track down the Inquisitor who had murdered his family. He eventually caught up with Arystul Deyal on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Taanab Taanab], managing to defeat him in a duel by calling on the dark side out of survival instinct. The attack took the Inquisitor by surprise and Xanos crushed the life out of him.

===Galactic Civil War ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|5 ABY]] – [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|12 ABY]])===
====New Republic Intelligence ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|5 ABY]] – [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|8 ABY]])====
{{quote|I long for the day I learn how to draw on the Force at will but until then a blaster will have to do.|Xanos Zorrixor, shortly after joining NRI}}
[[Image:XanosNRI.gif|thumb|left|Xanos Zorrixor during his time in NRI]]Xanos had hoped killing his family’s murderer would bring peace but instead he was left wanting. He realised the only two times during his life he had felt truly alive had been during the incidents on Aargau and now Taanab. Xanos desperate wished to understand his talents but with his mother dead he resigned himself to accepting there would be no one to train him. At twenty, he ended up joining [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_Republic_Intelligence New Republic Intelligence] believing he could at least put his talents to use.

One of Xanos’s first missions was to the planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Milagro Milagro]. Xanos was part of a New Republic force there which battled the Imperial forces for three months. In the end, despite a New Republic victory, the Empire bombarded the planet from orbit, destroying anything of value. Xanos narrowly escaped, having had a sense of foreboding right before the attack. He joined the fleet during the second [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Milagro Battle of Milagro], helping to take back the planet. The following year would see the first [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Coruscant Battle of Coruscant] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Civil_War Galactic Civil War]. Xanos was inserted onto Coruscant shortly after Milagro, helping one of several NRI cells prepare for the main attack. He was promoted to captain after the battle.

Xanos was involved in the attack on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thyferra Thyferra] during [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|7 ABY]]. His cell was inserted onto Thyferra early in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bacta_War Bacta War], helping rally support from among the local population to rise up against the occupying Imperial forces. Following the planet’s capture, Xanos joined the New Republic forces in orbit to help during the ensuing space battle. The following year he was involved in the attack on Kuat to capture the shipyards. Xanos’s rapid rise, no doubt due to his Force abilities, had not gone unnoticed. However, Xanos also had a reputation for playing loose with the law, often cutting corners to get results. To his surprise, he was promoted to major and offered command of Specter Squadron, a clandestine intelligence cell which would operate under the radar.

====Specter Squadron ([[1 ABY to 10 ABY|8 ABY]] – [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|12 ABY]])====
Specter Squadron saw action the following year during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Thrawn_Campaign Thrawn Campaign] at the third Battle of Coruscant and the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Bilbringi Battle of Bilbringi]. They were also part of the NRI force involved in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Liinade_III Battle of Liinade III], taking part in the space battle before joining the ground forces during the two week long struggle to secure control of the planet. Later the same year, the Specters saw action at the second [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Ciutric_IV Battle of Ciutric IV] in the final part of the campaign against [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Delak_Krennel Delak Krennel].

Xanos and his squadron saw further action in [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|10 ABY]] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Operation_Shadow_Hand campaign] by the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Palpatine reborn emperor]. They were deployed to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Metellos Metellos] shortly before the fourth Battle of Coruscant, urgently being recalled when the Imperial forces from the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deep_Core Deep Core] struck out at the capital. Specter Squadron were stuck on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] until the occupying Imperial forces were driven off in [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|11 ABY]]. Xanos was promoted to lieutenant colonel shortly after the battle to liberate the planet.

The Specters was caught up in the campaign against [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Daala Admiral Daala] when the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Praxeum Jedi Praxeum] opened its doors to Force-sensitives. Xanos remained in NRI until [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|12 ABY]], taking part in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Jedi_Praxeum Battle of the Jedi Praxeum] which finally saw Daala defeated. He was there to witness the explosive display of power by the young [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Knight Jedi Knights] which threw Daala’s fleet out of the system. The feat caused Xanos’s deep longing to unlock his power to return and he resigned his commission shortly after to join the Jedi.

[[Image:MasterYast.gif|thumb|right|Renko Yast]]Xanos joined the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Order Jedi Order] hoping to at long last understand the brief moments of fulfilment he had experienced on Aargau and Taanab. He was taken as an apprentice by Renko Yast. Yast believed Xanos had received enough lightsaber instruction from Maziel but desperately needed to embrace the Jedi Code before becoming a Jedi. Xanos felt Yast was holding him back and fell into the arms of a wandering [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Jedi Dark Jedi] named [[Vykan]] while on a mission to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nar_Shaddaa Nar Shaddaa]. Xanos believed he could learn to use the dark side without becoming corrupted and agreed to become Vykan’s apprentice. Vykan trained Xanos in secret outside his lessons with Yast at the Jedi Praxeum. Xanos realised how much the Jedi did not teach their students and believed he could become stronger than all of them.

Later that year, Xanos took part in the battle when the Jedi Praxeum was attacked by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dessan Dessan] and his legion of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Reborn Reborn warriors]. Drawing on Vykan’s training, Xanos was able to hold his own against the Reborn, helping to rescue several of the younglings with his Master. Xanos was made a Jedi Knight following the battle, as a sign he had completed the trials. However, Yast remained troubled by how quickly his apprentice had advanced and was worried about where he had come by some of his more exotic Force abilities.

====The Eriadu Incident ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|13 ABY]])====
{{quote|The dark side ruined my life the same as it did yours. How can you have allowed it to seduce you?|Taraeis Alaviel, Jedi apprentice}}
Xanos was assigned a young [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arkanian Arkanian] named Taraeis Alaviel to be his apprentice shortly after his advancement to Jedi Knight. Xanos split his time between training his apprentice, studying the transcripts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tedryn_Holocron Tedryn Holocron] in the archives and his sessions away from the academy with Vykan. Tara was much like Xanos, having lost her parents at a young age too, but she had taken it as a reason to shun the dark side completely. She accompanied her Master on several missions during the year, such as to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Adumar Adumar] when the planet was attacked by the Imperial Remnant.

Early the following year Tara accompanied Xanos on a mission to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Eriadu Eriadu] to deal with a local trade dispute. When the meeting turned sour Xanos drew on the techniques he had learned from Vykan to protect the Eriaduan ambassador. Tara was shocked, recognising what her Master had done as being of the dark side. Upon returning to the Jedi Praxeum Tara was forced to report what had happened and was reassigned to another Master. Xanos felt his apprentice had betrayed him after the Jedi demanded he relinquish his lightsaber until he learned to control his feelings. Rather than obey, Xanos resigned from the Jedi Order and left to join Vykan.

{{quote|Do not become lost to your visions, my apprentice. Visions are too easily misread.|Vykan}}
[[Image:Vykan.jpg|thumb|left|Vykan]]Xanos spent most of the subsequent year continuing his training with Vykan. Vykan was not always forthcoming with information, believing it unwise to allow his apprentice to progress too quickly, but Xanos was satisfied to be learning new skills. As Xanos began to explore the dark side deeper he experienced his first glimpse of the future in the form of a nightmare of a world rendered dead to the Force itself. Vykan told his apprentice about the Prophecy of the Seven which had been perverted a decade earlier by followers loyal to Palpatine. He explained how he believed it spoke of the formation of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Prophets_of_the_Dark_Side Prophets of the Dark Side] by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Millennial Darth Millennial] centuries earlier and told Xanos how easy it was to misinterpret visions and that it was better to forget the dream than be lost to it.

When Vykan learned the existence of the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Minos_Cluster Minos Cluster] he was eager to head to [[Eos]] to join. However, Xanos had his reservations and still nursed deeply negative feelings towards the Empire, especially regarding his acceptance in Imperial circles due to being an alien. They arrived to find [[Astronicus Aurelius Sadow|Astronicus Sadow]] recruiting followers. Vykan was intrigued by the man’s claims to be a descendant of the original [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exiles Jedi Exiles] and decided to join his cause in the [[Phare system]] which operated under the guise of the [[Dlarit Corporation]].

{{quote|The dark side offers power for power’s sake. You must covet it. Crave it. You must seek power above all else, with no reservation or hesitation.|Trevarus Caerick, Krath sorcerer}}
[[Image:Caerick1.gif|thumb|right|Trevarus Caerick]]Xanos came to know the sorcerer [[Trevarus Caerick]] recognizing him to be one of the rare few able to delve into the dark side itself and invoke ancient rituals and dark magics. Xanos became one of his acolytes and was intrigued by Caerick’s quest to break free of the Force's control. Vykan grew uncomfortable how much time his apprentice spent listening to the sorcerer and cautioned Xanos to avoid him. However, Xanos felt his Master wanted to hold him back the way the Jedi had and ignored him.

Vykan grew concerned Caerick was encouraging Xanos to progress faster than the other students and was fearful advancing too quickly would cause Xanos to become obsessed with his own power. Vykan also saw in Caerick a desire to take his apprentice as his own and resented it.

Xanos’s training with Trevarus Caerick involved research into the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Sith_Empire ancient Sith]. Xanos helped research a [[Dark Jedi Master]] named Tio Azurd whom Caerick believed would lead him to the lost planet [[Antei]]. Caerick was also particularly interested in the knowledge Xanos had garnered from the transcripts of the Tedryn Holocron. In exchange the sorcerer allowed Xanos unrestricted access to the [[Holocron of Antar IV|holocron]] he had recently recovered from [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Antar_IV Antar IV]. From the holocron Xanos learned about [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wound_in_the_Force wounds in the Force], however the sorcerer did not let on their importance to his research.

In [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|16 ABY]] Caerick finally discovered the location of the lost [[Antei system]] on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Space Sith Space] and took Xanos with him on an expedition to penetrate the [[Shroud]]. The pair plundered what tomes and holocrons they could find, the sorcerer being particularly pleased with the information he recovered from the [[Antei#The Temple Tiamat|Temple of Taimat]]. When they returned to the Brotherhood, Vykan was furious at Caerick for disappearing with his apprentice for weeks and forbade Xanos from training with him further.

====Second Brotherhood Civil War ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|16 ABY]])====
[[Image:Caerick2.gif|thumb|left|Trevarus Caerick after returning with the Amulet of Orian]]Trevarus Caerick fought off an assassination attempt during the machinations orchestrated by [[Archibald Zoraan]]. Caerick left the Brotherhood during the conflict to track down his old Master [[Kiln Tobasa]] who had sent the assassins after him. Vykan claimed it was proof the sorcerer was only interested in himself and didn’t care about the rest of the Brotherhood.
Caerick returned several weeks later bearing the [[Amulet of Orian]] on his arm. He devastated their opponents in the Coronada system with his newfound power, managing to wound [[Jac Cotelin]] in battle. In a few months Caerick had gone from being a common sorcerer to a gifted warlock and even Vykan could no longer deny his power.

====The Zoraan Uprising ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|17 ABY]])====
{{quote|How can you side with him? He will ruin the Brotherhood the way Bane did. How can you not see this?|Vykan}}
The civil war was barely over when Archibald Zoraan attempted to subvert the power of the Imperial Remnant. Trevarus Caerick declared open rebellion fearing Zoraan would lead them to ruin and the rebels headed to Eos to depose the [[Grand Master]] by force. Vykan was deplored fearing the Brotherhood was going the way of the ancient Sith and going to tear itself apart through infighting. Xanos rejected his Master’s apathy and joined Caerick’s rebels in the [[Zoraan Uprising|Battle of Eos]] during which the [[Dark Hall]] was destroyed and the Grand Master consumed in a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Storm Force storm].

[[Image:Caerick3.gif|thumb|right|Trevarus Caerick at the time of becoming Xanos Zorrixor's Master]]Not long after the uprising Trevarus Caerick was forced to fight off a second assassination attempt by [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. He spared the assassin’s life in exchange for training in the techniques used by Kiln Tobasa. After Caerick received the [[Marked of the Wanderer|Mark]] on his forehead Xanos began to wonder whether he was the one spoken of in the Prophecy of the Seven. After witnessing the new talents at the sorcerer’s disposal, Xanos pledged himself to his service as his apprentice. Vykan was irate at Caerick’s willingness to manipulate the legacy of Darth Millennial to further his own goals. He concluded the Brotherhood was destined to go the same way as past ones and turned his back on it.

Free of Vykan’s influence Xanos ceased to concern himself with rules and began to see past the restrictions the Brotherhood placed on him. Caerick cared little for rules and sought to be free of all control. The sorcerer began to train Xanos in techniques Vykan and others in the Brotherhood would have deemed forbidden believing should he be driven insane it would be a sign of his unworthiness.

[[Image:Caerick4.gif|thumb|left|Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long]]Trevarus Caerick had been slipping into insanity since returning with the Amulet of Orian but the explosive release of his full potential in the form of the entity called [[Shan Long]] changed him. He became distant and left Xanos to continue his training alone. Xanos grew resentful and eventually challenged his Master in a spectacular lightsaber duel in the icy wastes of [[Loki]]. Despite a valiant effort the Falleen was defeated, losing his right eye and suffering a near fatal blow to his abdomen which left a scar that never healed.

Caerick had wanted to test his apprentice by pushing him to the very brink. By turning Xanos against him the sorcerer had demonstrated why the Brotherhood was inherently flawed. Caerick wanted his apprentice to be loyal to him not an abstract organisation. His plan was to one day free himself from all control and saw the Brotherhood as a roadblock the same as the Jedi Order. To achieve absolute power Caerick knew there must not be any others who could challenge him which required there to be only one Master.

Caerick left his apprentice to discover the truth of his words alone but revealed his ambitions to break away from the Imperial Remnant and forge a new empire on Antei. There Caerick believed he would find the key to discovering the answers he sought. Having no more love for the Empire than for the Jedi or the Republic, Xanos was quick to turn his back on it and support his Master’s plans.

====The Aurora Crisis ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|18 ABY]] – [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|19 ABY]])====
Xanos took charge of the Dlarit Corporation and began to divert funds for the construction of a new base in the Orian system. Trevarus Caerick spent most of the next year on Eos and the other worlds of the [[Aurora Oversector|Aurora Sector]] as they began to position the pieces.

The Aurora Sector descended into crisis in what became a [[Fifth Great Jedi War|shadow war]] when members of the Brotherhood were assassinated and important facilities sabotaged. The Imperial Remnant was aware the Brotherhood was planning something and hiring bounty hunters to deal with any individuals it perceived as a threat. The Remnant’s attempt to silence dissention backfired when the [[Clan]]s united after Mairin Astoris was forced into exile following an assassination attempt.

====The Mystery of Klindarith ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|19 ABY]])====
{{quote|I have seen the Force itself drained of life.|Xanos Zorrixor}}
Xanos received disturbing visions of the nearby planet Klindarith in early [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|19 ABY]] in which he saw a faceless figure feeding on the Force itself. Trevarus Caerick was concerned by the news and returned from his work to help lead an expedition to Klindarith to investigate. While there the planet was blockaded by a pair of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Destroyer Star Destroyers] and they were attacked by Imperial troops. Troubled by the unfolding events, Caerick abandoned the mission to return to the Minos Cluster fearing the worst. Xanos remained behind to discover the source of the echo to be a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_vampire Force vampire] named Kurien. Xanos slew Kurien and recovered the obtene crystal which had been the source of his powers.

====The Battle of Phare ([[11 ABY to 19 ABY|19 ABY]])====
[[Image:XanosExodus.gif|thumb|right|Xanos Zorrixor at the time of the Battle of Phare]]While the expedition had been on Klindarith the Imperial Remnant had moved to seize control of the Brotherhood following the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bastion_Accords Bastion Accords]. Trevarus Caerick had evacuated most of the archives from [[Old Sadow Palace|Sadow Palace]] before the Remnant could blockade the Phare system. Xanos returned and led an assault on Sadow Palace to recapture it. The Remnant called in support from the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Navy Imperial Navy] and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Inquisitorius Inquisitorius] to prevent their escape. Caerick contacted Xanos and instructed him to commence the evacuation of the system. Xanos headed to Ullyr to recover the archives from the fortress there but was unable to arrive in time. He activated the facility’s self-destruct sequence to prevent the Remnant from recovering its secrets.

Xanos took command of the fleet in orbit and helped hold off the Imperial forces. The battle appeared lost when the Remnant called in an interdictor but Astronicus Sadow had one final ace up his sleeve when Sadow Palace tore from its foundations revealing the body of a cruiser buried beneath. The palace joined the battle and destroyed the interdictor in a suicidal run to secure their escape. Following the Battle of Phare they rendezvoused with [[Dark Council|Council]] forces under Caerick’s command before making their way to the [[Orian system]] and setting up temporary headquarters in [[Alabrek Castle]] until the new headquarters were completed.

===Conquest of Antei ([[20 ABY to 25 ABY|20 ABY]] – [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|21 ABY]])===
====The Antei Campaign ([[20 ABY to 25 ABY|20 ABY]])====
After the move to Orian, Trevarus Caerick manipulated his way onto the Council to gain access to the long lost archives on Antei. The sorcerer’s next move was to secure a position for his apprentice to allow them both to continue their plans. While Xanos oversaw the reconstruction of the [[Antei#The Temple Bellseph|Temple of Bellseph]] his Master worked to excavate the Krath ruins on [[Calabrex]]. Their research revealed more than just lost mysteries of the dark side and Caerick uncovered evidence Astronicus Sadow had no intention to become the next emperor. While the revelation was of little real consequence the pair saw a chance to secure their influence over the Dlarit Corporation by blackmailing Sadow.

Xanos had impressed the [[Star Chamber]] during the Battle of Phare and was put in charge of the [[:Category:Former_Antei_Defense_Fleet|Antei Defence Force]]. Having been forced to secede earlier than planned when the Bastion Accords were signed much of the Antei system remained hostile to the Brotherhood’s presence. Xanos was charged by Jac Cotelin with bringing the native populations under the Council’s control and began the systematic subjugation of the neighbouring worlds.

====The Nameless Ones ([[20 ABY to 25 ABY|21 ABY]])====
{{quote|We see from beyond the stars / Through the glittering of a million eyes / In a sea of glass.|From the [[Tenebric Conclusions]]}}
[[Image:XanosGJW6.gif|thumb|left|Xanos Zorrixor at the time of the Okemi Crisis]]As commander of the Council’s fleet, Xanos oversaw the [[Invasion of Antares|genocide]] of the entire [[Antaran]] civilization after an uprising on [[Antares Major]] threatened to alert the galaxy to the Brotherhood’s existence. Unknown to Xanos at the time their actions on Antares Major awoke [[Okemi]] on Antei. The [[Nameless Ones]] who now controlled the ancient [[Sith Lord]] quickly spread across the planet, infecting Jac Cotelin and using him to seal off the system. Trevarus Caerick became stuck on Antei after an assassination attempt, barely kept alive by the Amulet of Orian.

Xanos remained trapped on Antares Major as the Nameless Ones began to take control of the entire system. With all communications in and out of the Shroud cut off the Brotherhood remained in the dark and no help would come. Xanos eventually managed to sneak out of the system on a commercial transport and get word to the Grand Master. A fleet was assembled from the Clans who had not yet fallen to the Nameless Ones corruption and an all out assault launched on Antei. After reaching the planet, Xanos held off Kem-Shu Maeda while the Grand Master made his way to Okemi’s tomb and confronted Jac Cotelin before destroying Okemi and ending the corruption.

Xanos was mortally wounded during his duel with Kem-Shu Maeda and had to spend several days in a bacta tank to recover. As for his Master, the Amulet of Orian had kept Caerick alive but it had also preserved the last taint of the Nameless Ones. Caerick survived but was lost his mind to the rage he had tried to block out for years and was consumed by Shan Long. Xanos was troubled he had lost against Kem-Shu Maeda and without his Master’s guidance began to question the path he was on. Xanos departed Antei hoping to find answers elsewhere after the Star Chamber refused him access to their private archives.

{{quote|The dark side is strong here. Far stronger than it ever was on Antei.|Xanos Zorrixor, after arriving on Ziost}}
[[Image:XanosExile.gif|thumb|right|Xanos Zorrixor during his exile]]Little is known of what Xanos did during his year in exile other than that he eventually made his way to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ziost Ziost], the throne world of the ancient Sith Empire. Xanos felt a much stronger connection to the dark side on Ziost than he had on Antei which led him to believe the true Sith had surpassed Okemi and his splinter faction. Xanos discovered the [[Holocron of Tulak Hord]] inside the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Citadel Sith Citadel]. Xanos had grown powerful during his time in exile but was not quite yet a Master and was unable to unlock the holocron’s secrets alone.

Xanos returned to the Orian system to seek advice from the archives of Sadow Palace. With the aid of [[Muz|Muz Keibatsu]] and [[Macron|Macron Goura]] he began to transcribe the knowledge of the holocron. His work was interrupted when the Council requested aid in [[Invasion of Coratua|subjugating]] a pirate colony on [[Coratua]]. Xanos led the Dlarit Corporation’s forces against the planet’s droid armies to help capture the facilities intact. Once the situation on Coratua pacified Xanos returned to unlocking the holocron. After a year of toil the transcripts of the holocron were added to the Brotherhood’s compendium and Xanos was elevated to the status of Master.

====Kiln Tobasa ([[20 ABY to 25 ABY|23 ABY]])====
{{quote|I am the Herald of the Final Way! The time when all shall fade into darkness draws near!|Kiln Tobasa}}
In early [[20 ABY to 25 ABY|23 ABY]] troops marched on Sadow Palace after several senior officers were assassinated forcing Xanos into hiding. The situation did not reach armed conflict until rogue units attacked Alabrek Castle on [[Tarthos]] and placed the Orian system on the brink of civil war. With the risk to the archives too great Xanos returned to Sadow Palace to confront the source of the disturbance. In the throne room he discovered Kiln Tobasa, apparently still alive but utterly insane, muttering about how the time of darkness was near. Xanos confronted Tobasa and defeated him to discover he had merely been a shade. With Tobasa defeated the situation throughout Orian relaxed and Xanos was able to return to his research. However, he remained troubled by whether he had destroyed Tobasa’s spirit forever or if it had been nothing but an illusion.

[[Image:XanosVision.gif|thumb|left|Xanos Zorrixor's vision of Antei being set on fire]]Xanos was troubled by Kiln Tobasa’s warning. The visions he had experienced almost a decade earlier returned to plague him when he slept. Xanos was now able to tell the world rendered dead to the Force was Antei. He became concerned for were Antei to fall the answers he sought would be lost forever. The Council were confident Antei was in no danger and dismissed his concerns. They said the visions were probably being caused by whoever had conjured the shade of Kiln Tobasa or were the lingering specter of Kurien and told Xanos to ignore them.

Despite being dismissed by the Council Xanos remained troubled. He used his influence in the Dlarit Corporation to begin reinforcing the Orian system, ordering the construction of [[Marakith Skyhook]]. Xanos also had additional funds diverted to [[Kaldex Transport Inc]] to speed up construction of the new defence force they had ordered after first moving to Orian.

====Return of Trevarus Caerick ([[20 ABY to 25 ABY|24 ABY]])====
{{quote|I have shown you the path of visions. Do you doubt the dark side, my apprentice?|Trevarus Caerick}}
Two years after Trevarus Caerick had lost his mind to Shan Long the Council decided they would divine nothing more of worth from his insane prattle. Caerick was delivered in chains to Sadow Palace and locked up until Xanos could decide what to do with him. Xanos would have let him die but as the Star Chamber refused to help he realised he needed his Master to learn the meaning of his visions. Xanos managed to pull Caerick back from the madness and restore his broke mind.

Caerick returned a changed man and now understood what must be done. His first action was to head out and deal with Kiln Tobasa for good. Next he deciphered the meaning of Xanos’s visions, realising them to be of the aliens he had encountered decades before. With the truth revealed, Caerick convinced the Star Chamber to train his apprentice in order to fully decipher his visions.

Caerick did not reveal his true intention to use his apprentice to learn the secrets locked away in the Star Chamber’s archives. But nor did the Star Chamber reveal their plan was not to ward off the impending disaster but work out how best they could use it to their advantage.

[[Image:XanosVision2.gif|thumb|right|The truth of Xanos Zorrixor's visions revealed]]Jac Cotelin took Xanos as his apprentice and [[Shadow Hand]] to train, having a clone grown to find more time to manage his affairs. In addition to his formal training Xanos began to study the holocrons stored in the once forbidden archives of the Star Chamber. A few months into the next year, while Jac Cotelin was out of the system his clone declared itself the true Grand Master and sealed the Shroud off. Tensions between the Clans had been rising as the [[Selen Incident|Selen]] and Aranna incidents earlier that year had shown, but the public emergence of [[Jaac Cotelin]] sent the Brotherhood into [[Third Brotherhood Civil War|civil war]].

Xanos sealed himself away in the archives as the clone took control of Antei. While the Brotherhood was distracted with its own problems the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yuuzhan_Vong Yuuzhan Vong] began their invasion of the galaxy in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_Rim Outer Rim]. Xanos began to experience visions of his own death in the arms of the Yuuzhan Vong. He also began to be driven mad by the great tremors he felt in the Force. Within the archives, the Holocron of Darth Maestus began to poison Xanos’s mind against the Star Chamber and convinced him they were to blame should his death come to pass for their failure to heed his warnings and take action.

Maestus taught Xanos the origins of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rule_of_Two Rule of Two] and the history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth Darth title]. She explained to achieve true mastery of the dark side one must be prepared to sacrifice everything. By the time Jac Cotelin broke through the blockade around Antei and slew his clone, Xanos had been utterly corrupted by Maestus’s teachings. Cotelin recognised his apprentice had become a Sith Lord in his absence, but did not realise he had been poisoned against the Star Chamber. No sooner than Jaac Cotelin had been slain, the Clans rallied together and blockaded the Shroud to call the Star Chamber to account for what had happened. The siege lasted two months before the Star Chamber relented and granted each Clan an emissary to the Council. As soon as the blockade was over, Xanos openly denounced the Star Chamber, claiming their lack of leadership had caused the civil war and turned his back on the Iron Throne.

====Return to Phare ([[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]])====
Trevarus Caerick was exuberant when his apprentice denounced the Star Chamber. The sorcerer proceeded to convince Xanos the Brotherhood, like the Jedi Order, must be destroyed if they were to free themselves from all restrictions. Caerick believed the Holocron of Antar IV which had been lost during the Battle of Phare held the key and they returned to the Orian system to enlist the aid of the Dlarit Corporation in retrieving it. The mission back to the Phare system took them across the Outer Rim. They were forced to evade the Imperial forces now occupying the planet to sneak into the ruins of Sadow Palace and recover the holocron in addition to the other lost artefacts.

Xanos’s ship was shot down and he was forced to team up with a group of Jedi survivors to steal a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_Brigade Peace Brigade] shuttle and escape. To Xanos’s amazement among the survivors was his sister, Xora. Xora had survived the explosion on Falleen and grown up to join the Jedi after hearing rumours Xanos had become a Jedi Knight.

Believing her brother would help them, Xora convinced the other Jedi to take them to Falleen to rescue her adoptive parents. On Falleen, Xora realised her brother had fallen to the dark side when he attacked her after she tried to prevent him from stealing their ship. A squad of Yuuzhan Vong warriors interrupted their fight and took them both captive. Taking aboard a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Worldship worldship], the pair were placed in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Embrace_of_Pain Embrace of Pain] and tortured by the Yuuzhan Vong priest Phaa Shul.

Xanos endured months of torture. The Yuuzhan Vong inserted a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tizowyrm tizowyrm] into his ear to converse with him. He was forced to surrender himself completely to the dark side to survive, causing his surviving organic eye to turn red. The Yuuzhan Vong tattooed over the scar where he had lost his right eye and removed his prosthetic eye, replacing it with an [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mqaaq'it mqaaq’it implant] which matched his surviving eye. His hair was also plucked out during his time strung up on the Embrace. Xanos eventually encountered Vykan after his old Master was captured and the three devised a plan to escape. However, believing Xora would never keep their encounter secret; Xanos left her behind to die. Vykan led his former apprentice to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Korriban Korriban] to weather the storm.

[[Image:VexatusKorriban.gif|thumb|right|Darth Vexatus at the time of killing Vykan]]Vykan led Xanos to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Valley_of_the_Dark_Lords Valley of the Dark Lords] where he explained the miasma of dark energy would keep them hidden. Vykan hoped to convince Xanos to become his apprentice again and learn the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rule_of_One Rule of One]. However, when Xanos arrived on Korriban he realised the vision of his own death had already come to pass. Darth Maestus had told Xanos he must surrender all attachment but it was not until he was strung up on the Embrace of Pain he had truly understood what she had meant. Realising the last traces of Xanos Zorrixor had died on the Embrace he declared himself Darth Vexatus.

Vykan recognised his old apprentice had surrendered himself to the teachings of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Bane Darth Bane] and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Revan Darth Revan] before him and concluded was as much a threat to his [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_Sith_Order Sith Order] as to the Brotherhood itself. Vykan took up his lightsaber against Darth Vexatus, believing he needed to be destroyed. Despite his experience Vykan was viciously struck down by his former student.

===Lord of Betrayal ([[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] – [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]])===
====Fall of Antei ([[26 ABY to Present|26 ABY]] – [[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]])====
{{quote|The Brotherhood is weak, failing, you brought this upon yourselves.|Darth Vexatus}}
[[Image:VexatusAntei.gif|thumb|left|Darth Vexatus at the time of the Fall of Antei]]Darth Vexatus remained on Korriban until he felt the Star Chamber issue a summons through the Force. He returned to Antei to learn the [[Sarin|new Grand Master]] was assembling his forces in response to the Yuuzhan Vong threat. Vexatus met with the Star Chamber only to learn they still did not believe Antei was in danger.

When the Yuuzhan Vong [[Eighth_Great_Jedi_War|attack on Antei]] began the Brotherhood fleets took refuge inside the Shroud believing it to be safe but discovered it had already been mined with dovin basals. Vexatus refused to lend his aid, content to watch the Brotherhood fall for its refusal to heed his warnings. When Trevarus Caerick was struck down by a Yuuzhan Vong warrior Vexatus realised should [[Kalekka Tower|Kalekka]] fall all their work would be lost. Vexatus pulled Caerick back from the brink of death, the strain of the act forever scarring his face. The pair manipulated Astronicus Sadow into leading his forces to Antei instead of withdrawing directly to Orian. Upon arriving at Antei, Sadow realised their betrayal and opened fire on their ship. After recovering the holocrons of Antar IV and Darth Maestus from Kalekka, the pair used their power to guide the Covenant safely out of the system, convincing the rank and file they had been on their side the entire time.

Following the Battle of Antei Caerick learned Sadow had been party to the Star Chamber’s plan to use the Yuuzhan Vong attack to cull the Brotherhood. The pair used the information to blackmail Sadow, rendering him unable to move against them without his own duplicity being revealed.

====Battle of Tarthos ([[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]])====
They returned to find Orian had been [[Invasion of Orian|besieged]] by a rogue cult of darksiders. Darth Vexatus sensed an echo in the Force and recognised it from his encounter with Kiln Tobasa to be the mark of a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Flow-walking flow-walker]. Vexatus and Trevarus Caerick infiltrated Marakith Skyhook slaying several cultists but [[Anaxela]], their leader escaped. Caerick headed to Tarthos to secure Alabrek Castle while Vexatus went after Anaxela in [[Seng Karash]]. Vexatus chased the witch to Tarthos where he rendezvoused with Caerick before pursuing her to the ''[[Dark Fusion]]''. The pair dealt with the remaining cultists, saving Astronicus Sadow’s life from [[Jingi Moksuna]], but Anaxela managed to escape to [[Kangaras]].

====Aftermath ([[26 ABY to Present|27 ABY]])====
{{quote|Lehon. The Heart of the Force is located on Lehon.|Darth Vexatus}}
[[Image:Xanoshead4.gif|thumb|right|Darth Vexatus following the Battle of Antei]]After Caerick’s actions at Antei the Star Chamber had tired of their treachery. With the Yuuzhan Vong tightening their hold on the galaxy the pair was unable to seek refuge elsewhere and forced to remain in the Orian system to avoid the Star Chamber’s assassins. When Vexatus had been held captive by the Yuuzhan Vong his Master had begun to corrupt Macron Goura. Together they now proceeded to seduce him with the offer of training and used him to restore their influence over the Dlarit Corporation in spite of Astronicus Sadow’s objections. Through Goura, Caerick convinced the Grand Master he could be of service against his rivals on the Star Chamber.

While Caerick continued his political machinations, Vexatus completed his study of the Holocron of Darth Maestus, learning of the lost planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lehon Lehon] in the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions Unknown Regions]. They were able to connect Lehon with the planet spoken of in the Holocron of Antar IV which was said to contain a source of great power known as the [[Heart of the Force]]. To reach Lehon they recognised they would need to break through the Yuuzhan Vong stranglehold on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hydian_Way Hydian Way]. To that end, Caerick worked to use his influence with Goura and Sarin to take control of the [[Dlarit Navy]].

====Mission to Kangaras ([[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]])====
At the end of the year, Goura’s training started taking its toll on his mind and he began to lapse back into insanity. Caerick used the development to his advantage, intending to replace Goura should his mind become lost. In early [[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]] the freighter Anaxela had used to escape the Battle of Tarthos was located on Kangaras. During the expedition to uncover what had happened, Goura’s mind finally broke. Their quarry escaped but after learning of Goura’s fate, Sarin relieved him of his command and granted Caerick his place on the Council.

====Retaliation ([[26 ABY to Present|28 ABY]])====
{{Quote|How fares your search for Lehon, apprentice? The first stage of our plans nears completion. The fool disciples of Sadow will soon ensure my Master and I safe passage to the Unknown Regions.|Darth Maestus and Darth Vexatus}}
[[Image:VexatusTelos.gif|thumb|right|Darth Vexatus during the Battle of Telos]]With control of the Dlarit Navy, Trevarus Caerick moved to break free of the cage they had been confined to since the Battle of Antei. With reports of a Yuuzhan Vong fleet amassing at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telos Telos] an operation was launched to break their hold on the Hydian Way. The Dlarit Navy was sent in to divert the fleet at Telos while the ''[[RSD Final Way|Final Way]]'' deployed a team to the worldship stationed there.

Darth Vexatus was shot down and he and Caerick were forced to join the infiltration team. They encountered a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shamed_One Shamed One] named [[Eshin Shul]] who led them to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yammosk yammosk]. On the way they were attacked by [[Drathul Amnan]], the worldship’s commander. Caerick and Vexatus opted to hold the commander and his retinue off while the rest of the team went on to the yammosk chamber. They killed Amnan but Caerick was captured when Eshin Shul betrayed them and taken to the Embrace of Pain.

While Vexatus attempted to rescue him the others slew the yammosk and returned to their ship. On orders from Astronicus Sadow, Muz Keibatsu issued a retreat, leaving Caerick and Vexatus to die, but they were rescued following the unlikely arrival of [[Jedgar Octavius Paladin|Jedgar Paladin]]. It seemed the Star Chamber was split on whether to simply destroy them or steal their prize out from under them.

[[Image:Caerick5.gif|thumb|right|Shan Long at the time of the Battle of Lehon]]
Coming April 2008.

==Personality and traits==
Darth Vexatus is self-reliant, manipulative and constantly wary of the intentions of others. Vexatus is the product of a life that has been dominated by loss and betrayal. He first fell to the dark side out of revenge but later became obsessed with obtaining more power to free himself from the oppression of the Force.

Unlike most Sith throughout history, Vexatus does not care about ruling an empire or conquering the galaxy. He aims to master the ritual once attempted by Exar Kun to escape his mortal body and ascend to the status of a god by becoming one with the dark side. Vexatus considers the half-existence most spirits settle with a failure and resents the idea of becoming one with the Force only to become a slave to its will.

Darth Vexatus remains loyal to Trevarus Caerick out of mutual interest. Caerick is the only person he trusts and despite his power Vexatus begrudgingly still feels compelled to kneel before his Master as apprentice. Caerick may not possess the same level of raw power but his knowledge of the Force is almost unparalleled and Vexatus remains fearful of the secrets he still keeps hidden and continues to believe there is much more to his Master than he lets on. Vexatus knows without Caerick he cannot fulfill his ambitions but that one day he will be forced to battle his Master to decide who will rule in the Force’s place.

Vexatus is a firm believer in the Rule of Two though this was not always the case. Vexatus was driven into the thrall of Trevarus Caerick because he offered him power the Star Chamber would have said forbidden for an apprentice. Caerick’s willingness to disregard the rules drove a wedge between Vexatus and the rest of the Brotherhood. However, Caerick never outright told Vexatus what to believe, having always left it up to his apprentice to discover the truth on his own. When Vexatus was betrayed by the Star Chamber over the coming of the Yuuzhan Vong he turned his back on the Brotherhood, at long last embracing his Master’s beliefs. When he obtained the Holocron of Darth Maestus and learned the history of the Rule of Two it sealed his views. Vexatus now believes the Brotherhood must be destroyed along with the Jedi Order for there to be any hope of bringing order. To some extent he is no more loyal to the Sith than he is to the Jedi, considering his only true allegiance to be to his vision of a galaxy without light and dark.

Having been betrayed by those closest to him, including his sister and his former apprentice, he expects the worst from people and gives no better in return. Vexatus sees all those around him as tools that can be used for his own ends. As a gifted seer, his mind is constantly on the future and he manipulates people like Dejarik pieces as part of plans that may not come to pass for years. Vexatus is quick to betray others, having no true allegiance other than himself and after deciding the Brotherhood was doomed was quick to leave Antei to rot. He believes in the survival of the fittest and will rarely intervene where lives are threatened unless to further his own ends, believing helping people only makes them weaker.

Due to his experiences Vexatus is not one for relationships of any kind. In one sense he is very much a Falleen because he considers himself above impulsive behavior and is coldly logical and methodical in his actions. However, he believes compassion is a weakness and uses his species’ pheromonal talents only as a means to influence the weak minded. Unless Vexatus is actively seeking something from someone he normally comes across as detached and aloof, almost as if his mind is only partially in the present.

==Powers and abilities==
Darth Vexatus has always been strong in the Force, having drawn on it instinctively several times during his youth. His lust for greater power has defined his adulthood and Vexatus has become increasingly lost to his own hunger. Vexatus has spent most of his time as Trevarus Caerick’s apprentice searching for the means to become one with the dark side and believes he has finally found the answers in the Holocron of Darth Maestus. It is Vexatus’s ultimate goal to ascend to the status of a god and dominate all life.

It was perhaps inevitable with one of the most gifted seers in the Brotherhood as his Master that Darth Vexatus would develop the ability to look into the future. Vexatus was always gifted in sensing the immediate future but first began experiencing visions after he fully embraced the dark side as a Master. Unlike Caerick, Vexatus lacks control over his visions and they generally come to him as intense and vivid dreams. Although Vexatus often sees further into the future than his Master his dreams are usually unclear and it is not uncommon for there to be more than one interpretation.

As one of the three people in the Brotherhood who worked to unlock the secrets of the Holocron of Tulak Hord, Darth Vexatus is a gifted duelist. Darth Vexatus utilizes the Force and agility more than brute strength and has not mastered as many Forms as some others but his knowledge of the Jedi Arts is almost unrivaled. There are few opponents who can surprise him in battle and Vexatus does not considered his own lack of training in the use of more exotic weapons such as double bladed lightsabers to be a weakness.

Vexatus experienced untold horrors at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong while in captivity. His bionic eye was replaced with an mqaaq’it implant, allowing him to see naturally again for the first time in years. The implant sees things differently to a normal eye, though Vexatus claims he can no more explain it than he could explain color to a creature without eyes. The Yuuzhan Vong also inserted a tizowyrm into his ear to converse with him which remains imbedded inside his ear. Vexatus has begun to develop some form of symbiotic relationship with the creatures although he has yet to understand it.

Darth Vexatus does not consider himself the true Sith Master for no reason. He has spent his life forever in search of answers. His quest for knowledge has seen him delve into the darkest mysteries of lost Holocrons and teachings. Having strived to take the Force further than all but a handful throughout history, Vexatus has an understanding of the Force that surpasses mere shades of light and dark. Vexatus believes he will find the answers he has long sought on the planet Lehon where he believes his visions have shown him finally transcending life to become a god.

However, his visions have been known to be wrong before…

'''Alabrek Castle''', more casually known as '''Ragnos Cathedral''', is the home of [[House Marka Ragnos]]. Alabek Castle is located within the military town of [[Kar Alabrek]] on [[Tarthos]]. Most of the high command of the [[Dlarit Corporation]]'s armed security forces are based within the less secure sections of the castle. Alabrek Castle is guarded by soldiers from the [[Dlarit Special Operations Group]].

The main [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/HoloNet HoloNet] transceiver for the [[Orian system]] is located within Alabrek Castle. It is from there all communications to and from the [[Orian system]], including [[Seng Karash]] and [[Sadow Palace]] are routed.

==History==

[[image:RagnosFoyer.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Foyer at Ragnos Cathedral]]
[[image:RagnosCathedral.jpg|thumb|200px|The Library at Ragnos Cathedral]]

Ragnos Cathedral, once an ancient castle, was refitted by members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]] upon arrival in the [[Orian system]]. Housing most of House Marka Ragnos's members and including a hangar bay as well as a training facility, this base served as a focal point for the clan during the [[K'hamar'an Crisis]]. The castle was damaged extensively by the K'hamar'a. Tarthos's [[Governor (Dlarit Corporation)|governor]] at the time, [[Muz Ashen Keibatsu|Muz Keibatsu]], spent a great deal of his own money and time to rebuild the facility, restoring Alabrek Castle to it's former glory.

The castle was expanded to better serve the growing [[Dlarit Security Force]] after the [[Invasion of Orian]] following the destruction of most of Kar Alabrek. Then Governor [[Trevarus Caerick]] ordered the construction of Alabrek Castle around the Ragnos Cathedral under the supervision of architect [[Malisane de Ath]].

==Structure==

Alabrek Castle has been described as a monument to the vision of Trevarus Caerick. The Castle is immense, and perfectly balanced in architecture. Aligned across the four cardinal points of Tarthos, the Castle is a perfect rhombus. Exterior walls are exactly two kilometers in length, and exactly 100 meters in height. Centered along each of the four walls are entrances that offer a visitor a grand approach to the Castle. The City of Kar Alabrek was rebuilt following the Invasion by True Brotherhood forces to unify with the structure of the Castle, each of the city's four districts lead to an entrance of the Castle which stands in the exact center of Kar Alabrek.

===The Grand Promenade===

Encompassing the entire perimeter of the Castle is the Grand Promenade. Measuring 100 meters in width, and the full height of the outer walls. It is a massive hall, adorned with the Banners of members of House Marka Ragnos and luminaries of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as tapestries and art that depict the exploits of legends within the House and Clan. The floors and walls are comprised of deeply polished granite, with a seamless rug of aubergine that encompasses the entire expanse. At certain points along the Promenade small alcoves have been reserved for quiet discussion or a revered work of art. The ceiling is entirely of transparisteel, giving the Promenade a sense of immense space. Arranged along the interior walls, entrances to the Gardens were built at the mid-points between each cardinal entrance.

===The Gardens===

Physical beauty was of the utmost important to Trevarus, and Malisane executed his vision in the Gardens with exquisite detail. The harsh atmosphere of Tarthos does not allow for a varietal of flora. Through careful cultivation, Malisane designed a meditative yet aesthetically beautiful arrangement for the Gardens. Rock sculptures and evergreens dominate the area. The scene if of minimalism with a hint of desolation. Beauty is found in the cold isolation. Private seating arrangments of cold basalt benches centered around fountains or topiary art are found at intervals. The four entrances to the Keep are found at points aligning with the four Cardinal entrances to the Grand Promenade.

===The Keep===

The walls of the Keep are 300 meters in height, and enclose the main body of the Castle proper.

The palace was located on [[Sepros]] in the [[Orian system]] and served as the Sith Lord's base. The Palace of Orian was destroyed several years before the [[Dlarit Corporation]] established operations on the planet during a duel between [[Kiln Tobasa]] and [[Trevarus Caerick]].

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi. He is the current [[Consul]] of [[Clan Naga Sadow]].

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

Trakata

2007-12-10T05:43:55Z

Shan-Long: /* DJB Adherents */

Trakata is an ancient form that is used primarily for killing, rather than dueling.

==Explanation==

Tràkata was fully suppressed by the Jedi Order as one of the darkest perversions of the Jedi Arts because it utilizes the lightsaber for one purpose: death. The technique was developed by the Sith into a complete form of combat that comes full circle from the teachings of [[Form Zero]]. Tràkata is one of the most difficult styles to master and has seen few adherents. It is believed Darth Sidious made substantial use of this form during the Great Jedi Purge.

Tràkata has no blocks, no parries, no defenses. The only time a Tràkata adherent will ignite the blade is to land a killing blow. It is a physically demanding style for the rest of the time the adherent will employ a combination of Force powers and hand-to-hand techniques together with other lightsaber forms they may know.

For a lightsaber form Tràkata is unique in that it shuns dueling completely. It doesn't even bother with the pretence of trying to stand up in a duel. An adherent will often open themselves up to attack just to lull their opponent into making a move that will leave them open and vulnerable.

Tràkata is not a last resort- it is a quick end to a battle. Due to the confidence needed to learn Tràkata, however, many adherents choose to play with their prey first before landing the killing strike that will end their opponent's life. It is quite common for Tràkata adherents to make use of a [[Dual Phase Lightsaber]] to extend their range and enable them to access a wider repertoire of attacks.

===Grip===

Held relaxed in the off hand, alternating between tight and loose grips, sometimes even incorporating hand changes and reverse grips. The sabre is held in the off hand to lull the opponent into a false sense of security.

===Stance===

The Tràkata practitioner will stand facing the opponent, a mark of confidence. The saber arm is normally held closest the enemy but will depend on the enemy's style and the adherent's confidence. The starting stance of Trakata is very elaborate, and varies from user to user, but the common point is that the tip of the saber blade or the emitter is universally pointed at the assailant.

===Striking===

Fast but strong, this style relies heavily upon the flexibility of the wrist. Wide arcs and long stabs are used to land fatal, killing blows early in a fight.

===Parrying===

This form has no parries, blocks or defensive stances of any kind. The lightsaber is kept off except when used to attack the opponent. The Trakata adherent relies upon on external, non-saber defense.

==Requirements==

Those wishing to learn the lethal art of Trakata must first completely master [[Dun Moch]] and be strong enough in the Force to execute the maneuvers.

==Adherents==
*Palpatine

*[[Darth Vexatus]]
*[[Trevarus Caerick]]

Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan

2007-12-09T00:24:17Z

Shan-Long: /* History */

=='''Sith Sword of Shar Dakhan'''==

[[image:sithsword.jpg|frame|right]]

===History===
This alchemical Sith Sword was used by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shar_Dakhan Shar Dakhan], first under the rule of Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, and later under Naga Sadow. The weapon was forged by Dakhan as a test of ascension to lesser [[Sith Lord]] status.

Later, one of the Sith Arts Academy expeditions from Thule in the ancient times recovered it from Shar Dakhan's tomb on Korriban. The Sword was brought to the Sith Museum in the city of Hurom on the planet Thule as a cultural relic.

[[Anaxela]] wielded this artifact-level Sith sword from the time of Marka Ragnos. She stole it from the museum on Thule in the city of Hurom.

During the True Brotherhood's invastion of the Orian System, she used it in battle against [[Trevarus Caerick]] and [[Darth Vexatus]]. [[Shan Long]] emerged in the course of the battle and captured the sword by biting her hand off. She fled, and the Masters presented the Sword to Mononoke Sadow as a spoil of war. It is currently houses in the Clan Naga Sadow Vault.

===Appearance===
The sword appears as a finely crafted swept-basket hilt blade, narrowing to a tapered tip. The 1.4 M blade weighs about 6.5 kg. The blade is polished to a mirrored finish, with strange mottling and weaving dark patterns in the blade. One ancient Sith scholar from Thule that examined it noted that the patterns seem to change when not directly observed. It requires great strength of body and mind as well as serious abilities in the Force to successfully wield the weapon in combat.

===Properties===

It can deflect blaster bolts, particle beams, and lasers, is unnaturally sharp, and is effective against lightsabers. With increasing Dark Side knowledge by the wielder, the sword could manifest some minor dark side power enhancing abilities. This weapon serves as a focus for the dark energies of its wielder, amplifying their power and refining their control of Dark Side abilities and skills. It can also absorb Force Lightning attacks, allowing the energy to be used by the wielder for other Dark Side powers. The weapon has a strong presence in the Dark Side, and has killed lesser Journeymen wielders that could not control it. It drank their energy and left them dried out husks.

===Behind the Scenes===
The Sword of Shar Dakhan replaced the book called Teaching Riddles during the possession "trade in" offered by [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]] in 2007.

Chronicle of Dark Souls

2007-12-08T23:37:29Z

Shan-Long:

==Chronicle of Dark Souls==

[[image:Chronicle of Dark Souls_book.jpg|frame|right]]

The Chronicle of Dark Souls is a text divided into three volumes, the '''Book of Memories''', the '''Book of Wisdom''', and the '''Book of Twilight'''. The texts were assembled based on the research of [[Trevarus Caerick]], and compiled over the course of several years of intense study and travel by the Krath.

Much of the text was considered heretical by the Dark Council, and Trevarus was forbidden from widely publishing his work. To date, the only complete copy of the text resides in the Mareq'att Archives of Clan Naga Sadow.

===The Book of Memories===

This book is a series of poems written about the earliest days of the mythical Lord Darth, and of his first three students. It tells the story of his fall from grace, his exile from the Jedi Community, and his eventual disappearance. It further expands upon the legends of his first three Apprentices, The [[Wanderer]], [[Alaiedon]], and [[Serpentis]].

===The Book of Wisdom===

A compilation of ancient wisdom, odd poetry, and an extensive list of proverbs to provide insight and clarity to scholars. Most of the text contained is of relatively recent authorship. Many Grand Masters, including [[Chi-Long]], [[Firefox]], and [[Jac Cotelin]] contributed their wisdom. Trevarus also included inauthenticated work by Kane Vader, and Havok. Other texts were penned by unknown hands, yet plundered from extremely ancient archives, including Ossus and Dantooine by Trevarus.

===The Book of Twilight===

Perhaps the most controversial of all the books, the Book of Twilight is a series of prophecies uttered by unknown visionaries, except for two. The Canticles are known to be the work of Trevarus, transcribed many years before the [[Exodus]] by Trevarus, and prophesied that event with chilling accuracy. Other prophecies have no provenance by which to be authenticated.

Kirili

2007-12-08T23:20:43Z

Shan-Long:

Kirili, an obscure variant of the Second Lightsaber Form, [[Makashi]], is a more defensive version of the elegant Duelist Stance. It is not a lightsaber form in its own right, rather an interpretation of the Second Form.

==Explanation==

The Kirili Variant of Makashi was developed by a series of Krath Warriors during the time of the Great Sith War. It offers a more defensible posture, taking advantage of the Second Form's stance and using an additional lightsaber held as a dagger to increase the effectiveness of parrying blows and feints. It was considered a lost art after the supression of the Krath Rebellion, and until the birth of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. An obscure cult known as the Marked of the Wanderer reintroduced the Variant to the Brotherhood through its warriors.

This style was specifically developed to counter Jedi who trained in Makashi to counter the rise of the Sith. The aggressive, elegant forms of Makashi often lead to destruction for ill-prepared Dark Jedi. To increase defensive capabilities, the Krath began carrying a second lightsaber with a shortened blade, held inverted in the non-dominate hand. This offers a second, more flexible option for grappling, quick strikes, and parries. The dagger is especially emphasized for feints, drawing an opening as their opponent attempts to block the more versatile blade.

Is a term used to describe the Three Masters who united on Antei to form the basis of the [[Star Chamber]], some three thousand years before the [[Battle of Yavin]]. The Sith King of [[Antei]], the Warlord [[Okemi]] was the first of the three. He was joined by the Sorceress and [[Marked of the Wanderer]], named [[Taimat]] of the ancient Krath Order, and later by [[Ferran]], a [[Mecrosa]] Assassin from [[Corellia]].

===Trivia===

The term Triumviate, and its three leaders are a non-canon part of Brotherhood lore created by [[Trevarus Caerick]] as a mythological basis for the Star Chamber. They were introduced during the [[Sixth Great Jedi War]]

Antei System

2007-11-24T18:22:47Z

Shan-Long: /* History */

The '''Antei System''' is actually a composite of two star systems, Antei and Antares.

== Statistical Data ==
*Type: Composite
*Major Stars: “[[Dark Star]]” ([[Ante]]), [[Antares]]
*Number of Planets: 10

*Distance from Nearest Neighbor (Orian System): ~700 Parsecs
== History ==
The Antei system is one of the galaxy’s greatest enigmas. Located between the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hydian_Way Hydian Way] and the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Daragon_Trail Daragon Trail] the system is cloaked within an anomaly known as [[the Shroud]]. The Shroud is a nebulous cloud of ionized particles that prohibits [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperspace hyperspace] travel in and out of [[Antei]]. Legends labeled the Shroud as a source of evil from which no ship ever returned.

In truth, the Dark Shroud and the Antei system are rife with the Dark Side of the Force. Approximately five thousand and fifty years before the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Yavin Battle of Yavin], an exiled [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith Sith] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Warlord Warlord] named [[Okemi]] discovered the sector on the outskirts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Empire Sith Empire]. Guided to the system by the Dark Side of the Force, Okemi established his seat of power on Antei, the fourth planet in the system of the same name.

On the planet of Antei, Okemi and his followers discovered temples built by the first inhabitants, a race of sentient near humans. Okemi and his Sith followers subjugated this race, and turned them into a society of slaves, much as his own Sith had been subjugated by human [[Dark Jedi]]. For over fifteen hundred years, the [[Anteians]] built temples to honor their Sith Gods and established a potent aura of darkness throughout the system.

In approximately 3950 BBY, the sorceress [[Tiamat]], following her force-fueled dreams, discovered Antei. Tiamat was amazed at the wealth and immense power Okemi had created over the past millennia. The original native species had bred into the Sith populations and a world-wide civilization with Okemi as its theocratic head had formed. Guided by portents in the Dark Side, Okemi accepted Tiamat into his order and the two formed an alliance of power.

The alliance was not complete, however, until Okemi and Tiamat reached out to an assassin of terrible power named [[Ferran]]. Ferran was a Sith Cultist from the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mecrosa_Order Mecrosa Order], his life devoted to the art of assassination. Traveling from his home of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], Ferran joined Tiamat and Okemi and the [[Triumvirate]] was born. Together they would create a temple, housing a chamber that would later be known as the [[Star Chamber]]. The Triumvirate would expand their power from the planet of Antei to the other planets in the system.

The Star Chamber stood as the center of their power, augmenting their ability in the Force and granting powers beyond imagination. The Triumvirate basked in their glory until around the year 2950 BBY when Tiamat lost control of a ritual designed to harness the power of stars. Ferran opposed the ritual from the start, believing it to be too dangerous. However, Tiamat plied Okemi with her wiles until the ancient warrior gave his consent.

The ritual itself focused on Antei’s primary star, [[Ante]]. It was to create a conduit to the near limitless energy offered by Ante’s churning nuclear furnace that could be channeled directly through Tiamat’s understanding of the Dark Side of the Force. Unfortunately, for her and the rest of the Triumvirate, her attempt at manipulating forces on the cosmic scale failed miserably.

No one knows what exactly caused the ritual to fail. Many say that Tiamat was too weak to control the forces she meddled in; others say that Ferran’s attack caused an otherwise successful ritual to fail. It is known that once opened, the sorceress found she could not control nor close the gateway to Ante’s burning heart. Unchained from the universe’s governing principles by the witch’s dark magic, the star became a monster with fuel and energy enough to rend the very system. Ante burned the remainder of its life’s fuel at a maddening rate to escape Tiamat’s desperately failing grasp. Were it not for the witch’s hold, the star would have burned its children to ash. However, there is evidence that suggests Tiamat had begun to regain her hold on the ritual and that it was Ferran’s panic that destroyed the Triumvirate.

Having been betrayed by Okemi and Tiamat, Ferran was already fueled by the rage of indignation. Seeing the ritual begin to fail, he slew Tiamat and the Triumvirate’s world came down around them. The Assassin relished his short-lived vengeance, and met his fate with sword in hand.

As it were, in the brief minutes of Tiamat’s failing control, Ante consumed its store of fuel in its desperate attempt to escape the witch’s grasp. The cosmic struggle between the two magnates of power resulted in the release of devastating waves of energy that pulsed outward from the chamber, violently realigning the landscape of Antei and the other Anteian planets. As Tiamat regained some measure of control, Ante rapidly cooled; the vast majority of its power was gone. All that remained was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dwarf black dwarf] star, no longer capable of emitting visible light or heat.

At the focal point of the disaster, the Star Chamber was utterly destroyed. As the shockwave spread from the temple outward, Antei suffered far more than any of its siblings. Its lush jungles were scorched from the land, its once-grand structures vaporized, and its seas boiled. What once was a lush and temperate planet, now only rock and char remained.

But Ante, now the [[Dark Star]], was not done.

The Great Darkening befell the Antei system as it reeled from the transmogrification of its patron star. A great cloak of night fell over its worlds that threatened all life with extinction. Be it the universe’s nature to seek balance, or a last bid to destroy that which dared to meddle, it is not known, but the system survived. As the mighty star darkened and began to relinquish its throne as lord and benefactor to the system, the nearby star of Antares, a super-giant, began to exert its natural will on the unstable Antei system drawing it inexorably to itself.

Over the course of the last 3,000 years, [[Antares system]] slowly drew the Antei system into proximity with itself. The two stars now form an unholy binary with no equal throughout the rest of known space. Over the millennia, nature ground many planets that once existed within the two systems to dust, pulverized as the massive cosmic wheel churned ever-onward despite the meddling of those who would seek power beyond all reason. Rumor begets that this process is what made the “Shroud” that now covers the two systems.

Legend refers to these titanic events as the [[Obscuration]].

The two systems now exist chaotically, though apparently stably, whose great discs now form an “X” intersecting at the binary of Antares and the Dark Star. Whereas Ante once provided the gift of light, and subsequently life, the sire Antares now makes that grant. Both light and darkness now exist within Antei symbiotically. Antares’ power is immense; the super-giant star possesses vast resources of fuel to foster the continued life of all inhabitants, both new and old. However, despite the dominance of the Antares star, those that know of the binary system refer to it as the Antei system. This is largely due to the incorrect legends that once told stories of Antei pulling in the Antares system, rather than the reverse of that.

Scholars within the Brotherhood debate whether the merger that initiated with the Obscuration is complete and fully-stable, or whether its delicate balance could falter and again plunge the worlds of the Brotherhood into chaos. They all agree, though, that any further devastation is lifetimes away.

In 18 ABY Antei was rediscovered by a team of Sith explorers working with [[Krath]] researchers, guided by [[Trevarus Caerick]], under the direction of [[Grand Master Firefox]]. In strange visions, Firefox saw the Shroud. Prompted to explore, he dispatched teams to the farthest reaches of the Sith Empire. When the team discovered the Antei system, he ordered the long awaited [[Exodus]], resulting in the Second Civil War of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Since the rediscovery of Antei, the Brotherhood has devoted itself to the recreation of the Star Chamber and the pursuit of absolute power.

== History ==

No one truly knows where Darth Nephets came from. Some say that he came from the darkest of tombs on Korriban. Others say he came from a distant planet known as "Ellijay" in the "Georgia" system. Be that as it may, he came to Clan Naga Sadow with the "powers" of a Dark Lord and began to call himself, "The Dark Lord of Ellijay". Many have wondered if "Ellijay" was a race of beings far from the Outer Rim, yet no one has been able to determine this.

He came with an iron fist, looking to enforce his will upon the dark jedi of the clan. One who defied him was [[Tharivol Endymiron|Shin'ichi Keibatsu Sadow]]. Seeking to silence the Krath, Nephets called down a terrible curse upon him and his family... which pretty much did nothing. As his curse failed on Shin'ichi, Darth Nephets began to lose power amongst the Clan. When this happened, he began to lay down his fury upon any and all who opposed him. It was not until [[Trevarus Caerick]] arrived that the rule of Darth Nephets was brought to an end. He began to train alongside the Dark Jedi Master, until one day he vanished without a trace. To this day, many believe that Darth Nephets will one day return to Clan Naga Sadow and lay waste to his enemies.

Amulet of Orian

2007-11-13T04:47:41Z

Shan-Long:

== '''The Amulet of Orian''' ==

'''Introduction'''

The intrigues of the Sith Empire were almost completely unparalleled. Dozens of powerful Humans and Sith vied for control of the Empire and its resources. Those with the proper knowledge and understanding were able to harness the Force in ways to give them an edge over their rivals.

Urias Orian, Eighth Dark Lord of the Sith and immediate predecessor to Lord Marka Ragnos was obsessed with the search for eternal life. He sought to transcend his mere mortal flesh, by unifying his spirit with the forces of metal, technology, and science. Working for almost a year, the Dark Lord created the Gauntlet. Composed of nearly sixteen thousand interlocking metal plates, the Gauntlet fit his hand perfectly, moving like water across his hand and forearm. Using this as a platform, he carved a series of inscriptions into the silver metal, invoking the spirits of the Earth to grant his design everlasting life.

In his travels he had acquired a large violet stone, roughly a meter across. It glowed with its own inner light, pulsing according to the moods of whoever touched it. The people of Ombus worshipped the stone as a spirit of their god, a life-giving spirit. Orian shattered the Star of Ombus, instantly destroying the people who had worshipped before it. He placed a fragment of the Star into the back of his amulet.

Orian orchestrated a ritual to give his body the same properties as the Amulet he had created. At its height, Orian thrust his hand into the metal glove, defying the spirits of Light and Darkness to grant him the power to see beyond all time. His body immediately turned to stone. In time his temple on Sepros was forgotten and abandoned by most in the Galaxy.

'''Record of Bearers'''

The temple was uncovered by Imperial Dark Adept Kiln Tobasa. After his fall from grace, he spent a decade looking for any means to achieve complete Transcendence of the Dark Side. A vision he believed shown to him by the Wanderer, whose Mark he possessed, led him to the Temple. His estranged student [[Trevarus Caerick]], of the [[Brotherhood of Dark Jedi]], tracked him to the temple. After a drawn out battle Trevarus took the Amulet for himself. He used its power in an effort to destroy Tobasa who escaped anyway. Caerick has carried the Amulet for nearly a decade now, and despite all efforts, he has been unable to have it removed.

'''Forms of the Amulet'''

''Phase One'': (DJK-KPN) In the first form of the Amulet, it exists as an intricate array of interlocking silver plates. It is meticulously articulated, such that movement is only slightly impeded. Each plate is covered with miniscule carvings and etchings that no-one seems to understand or capability to translate. No part of the underlying flesh is revealed from elbow to fingertips.

''Phase Two'': (Elder Class) Following his Ascendancy to Dark Adept, the Amulet melted across Trevarus’ hand into a vitreous glove of flowing silver metal. It constantly moves and flows, never extended far past his forearm. The Fragment of Ombus floats around on the back of his hand.

''Phase Three'': (High-level Elder) In most recent years, the Amulet reduced itself to the Fragment of Ombus surrounded by a small eddy of the silver metal. Trevarus may command it to cover any portion, or all of his body. During the crisis of the Consciousness, Trevarus relied upon the power of the Amulet to protect his body from death, covering all of his flesh with its silver living metal. Observers have also noticed that the Amulet will appear through gloves that Trevarus wears while in its dormant state.

Trevarus doesn’t know what form the Amulet will take as he grows in power.

'''Specific Powers:'''

*1) The Amulet cannot be removed from his forearm, or damaged in any way unless he is dead. This curious invincibility extends up his arm, unless his arm would be severed in such a way that it kills him. If he is killed the Amulet would theoretically revert to its natural form.

*2) The liquid state of the Amulet of Orian serves as an extention, or perhaps merely a manefestation of his telekinetic abilities. Whatever telekinetic gift he uses, the Amulet performs the visible representation of that power.

*3) The Amulet seems to have a consciousness of its own. Perhaps this is the legacy of Lord Orian. Trevarus is able to control it to some extent, yet it always nips at the back of his mind. Some speculate that this is the true cause of his clairvoyant powers as well as the emergence of [[Shan Long]].

Marked of the Wanderer

2007-11-13T04:42:43Z

Shan-Long:

'''Of Historical Interest'''

The first Student of Darth is known only as the [[Wanderer]]. What we know about him, is hidden in mystery and legend. In the days when hyperspace travel was still a young technology, he was gifted with the Sight to see beyond the stars. He wandered far and wide in the galaxy, seeing much in five decades, before he crashed on a far distant world. In the Tales of the Third Sight, the accounts of the Wanderer’s meeting with Darth are chronicled as coursing over three days, each day, the Master of our Masters approached the Wanderer, asking questions of him, and seeking his replies. Darth took the Wanderer as his first Apprentice, and together they traveled to the center of the Galaxy.

As the First Apprentice’s insight grew, he saw the Dark Side as the same crossed web of his own travels. Seeing much, and wandering far, he saw the interconnections of the Dark Side in all things. Even after Darth left, when the Schism between the Sons of Light and Darkness grew so great, the Wanderer was able to find his Master by tracing the connection between Master and Student.

According to an account given by the student of the Wanderer, his Master traced an eye in the middle of the his own forehead, jagged and bloody, with a sharp piece of stone from the cursed sands of Korriban. His blood spilled, dooming that world to Darkness forever, as the heart of the Sith Empire. It is said that the Eye first opened, and he was able to trace the Weavery of the Dark Side, through a strange power he called The Sight.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the Marked, as the students of the Wanderer began to refer to themselves, traveled far and wide, as did their Master. The goal of each of the Marked, is to study the Dark Side, in all its permutations, to be better able to understand the implications of the Final Order.

In the modern nights, the Marked of the Wanderer number only a dozen or so. Of those, Adept Kiln Tobasa, Dark Jedi Master Kem-Shu Maeda, and Dark Adept Trevarus Caerick are seen with any regularity. Trevarus, is the founder of the small cult of Marked that exist within the Krath Order of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, and the only Thrice Marked that is active in the Brotherhood. He has taken a few students, and teaches them the ancient ways of this arcane school of Dark Side philosophy.

'''Words of the Marked'''

''Lexicon:''

''Balance, The:'' The unity of the Force before the separation of the Light and Dark Forces. Also called the Essence. Is the full some of the struggle of the War of Beginning, as it is manifested in the balance of lights and darkness in the Universe.

''Chaos: '' The inherent instability that is predicated on the idea of Choice. Each choice, has a particular reaction, that can establish, or destroy threads of Light and Dark influence.

''Chronicle of Dark Souls: '' The compilation of Dark Side wisdom assembled by the Krath Scholar, Trevarus Caerick. It is divided into three books: The Book of Memories, the Book of Wisdom, and the Book of Twilight.

''Pluck: '' The act of manipulating a Thread, to various ends.

''Points:'' A focus of Light or Dark energy, usually a person, but also pertains to places and objects, also called Nodes

''Mark, The: '' The Mark of the Wanderer, the strange tattoo of an eye that is marked in the middle of the forehead, of all Marked of the Wanderer. When the Sight is called, the Mark opens; it appears as a violet-red orb, with a heavy lid, glows violetly when aroused

''Mundane: '' Those who do not possess the capacity to become Jedi

''Sight, The: '' The power granted by the Mark, to see the interconnections of the Tapestry, and to pluck them.

''Thread: '' A connection between two Points, as an expression of the Balance. A thread is always light or dark, though an individual person or object may express threads of either Force. Threads vary in thickness, revealing their strength and potential possibilities; the thicker a thread, the more powerful and the more possible outcomes. Light influence will appear as a blindingly white pulse of energy, dark influences will appear as thick oily bands of shadow.

''Weavery, The:'' The web of connections between points also referred to as the Tapestry.

'''The Methodology of Madness:'''

First, there is the Balance, as the expression of the conflict between the Light and Darkness. The Balance was once in perfect unison, neither light nor dark, but an endless Void of Nothingness. According to the Book of Memories, the War of Beginning started with the emergence of Chaos, as the expression of Choice. Choice represents the force Chaos, as the supreme radical, and unknown. Every decision made by a sentient being, is an expression of chaos. The War was fought between the Great Sword of Darkness, and the Great Shield of Light. For seven days, and seven nights, the two Forces battles, the power screaming like thunder through the Void. As they battled, great chips of each were felled. Each shard of light became a single star. Each shard of Sword, in turn became a planet, or moon.

Life, and the emergence of Choice, became the vehicle by which the Choice spread. Life creates the Force, and strengthens the War. It is the Choices between Light and Darkness that upsets the Balance.

Every decision made, is an expression of Light and Dark.

The Essence of the Dark Side is selfishness. The Ends of a follower of the Dark Path are always to his own design. Yet, the Dark Side is strengthened by the Mundane. Murder, theft, anger, selfish desires, all are the power of the Dark Side. When someone begins to express the Dark Side, two Points are always established, with a Thread between. The first Point is the person who has feelings of hate, the Thread goes from him, and attaches to the object of his hate, which becomes the second point. When a Dark Jedi uses his power to influence another, a point is established. The ancient tombs of Korriban are an utter maze of Points and Threads. Great cobwebs of interconnections stretch between the tombs themselves, and Threads even lead where none can follow, presumably into the Dark Side itself, and the spirit-forms of the entities that created the threads.

Conversely, selflessness is the heart of the Light. Expressions of love, joy, purity, and altruism create a Point and Thread of Light influence. Powerful Jedi Masters are few and far between, even with the fall of the Empire, and the collapse of the Sith Empire. Their lack of influence on the Light Side has significantly weakened the Tapestry of Light. Some records of Marked of nights long past, recount days when it was hard to follow Threads of Darkness across the Galaxy, because of the obscuring influence of so much light.

Within the Balance, there is a spectrum of connections, with there being few beings of only Light Threads, and few beings of wholly Dark Influence. Most fall somewhere in between, either towards light or darkness. Each choice, each emotion, can create or destroy a thread. As the individual moves towards either end of the spectrum, they become even more susceptible to the influence of either Force. The goal of the Marked is twofold. First, they strive to See as many connections as possible, especially within themselves. Second, they seek to influence the connections they see, to create more Dark Points.

Most of the Marked are great wanderers themselves, searching far and wide. Most recognize a thick black thread that seems to lead to nowhere, into the Force itself, apparently. It is believed that this is the Influence of the Wanderer on their spirits. In following this Thread, many have been lead to places of great importance, gaining valuable insight. It is said, that in his compilation of the Chronicle of Dark Souls, Trevarus Caerick spent the better part of three years following his own connection far and wide across the Galaxy proper.

Finally, the Marked seek to gain mastery of the very essence of Chaos. They seek to make every aspect of their existence, a careful choice. They recognize that the Dark Side requires a dangerous path. Many Dark Jedi, with insufficient knowledge, have fallen prey to their emotions, being a richer fuel for access to the power of the Dark Side. They fall to powerful expressions of anger, hatred, and other emanations of the Dark Side. While it is possible to create powerful points and threads of Dark influence though the unleashing of powerful emotions, the Dark Jedi becomes mentally unstable. Rather than creating one massive connection, the Marked seek to increase their influence, through the creation of many, smaller threads, to gain access to more power, by the exponential strength of each new connection, as it relates to the whole. They will work to instill fear, doubt and misapprehension, rather than reverting to their baser powers over the Mind, that way, there are many threads connecting them to the Dark Side itself, and if one fails, they have lost little in terms of overall power.

It is this factor, the Individual Balance, that most interests the Marked. By expelling their Threads of Light, and increasing their Threads of Darkness, they become more powerful in the Dark Side. With so many threads connecting them, it becomes much easier to use the Dark Side for more subtle, or even minor workings. A simple feat, such as a minor use of Telekinesis, is the creation of a thread, between the point of the Jedi, and the point of the telekinetically manipulated object. The strength of the Jedi’s will alone establishes that thread, but it only goes one way. It gains the Jedi some temporary benefit.

To truly establish connections, they must have others making choices about them. A thread from another, with the Jedi as the object of fear, creates a powerful Thread. The Jedi draws on this Thread for greater power.

The ultimate goal of the Marked of the Wanderer, is to herald the Final Order. According to their prophecies, the Herald shall emerge during a time of great galactic strife, to be called by the Seven Who Stand in Darkness. None is sure what this means, but each has their own ideas. They comb the Dark Side, looking for powerful connections that might lead them to a greater understanding. They believe that when the Balance is destroyed, their insight will grant them the full power of Chaos, that their own designs will govern reality, with perfect harmony.

'''A Practical Lesson'''

''Transcribed by an unknown'' Erro ''from the words of Trevarus Caerick''

“See the teeming masses of Mundane, young one? Look around, with your two eyes. Everywhere you look are criminals, lovers, parents, sons, daughters, and addicts. Each label, is actually a thread of influence. Each of these beings crowded in this market, is a tangled interconnection of influences, that push and pull them through their daily lives. Each choice they make, brings Chaos into their souls. Every time they look around, something is happening to bring instability to them.”

“Here are two lovers. They do not see us, but we can watch the connections pulling between them. Look at the strands of light, the way they twist and twirl around each other, like a braided cord. Each cord, or Thread, is made up of many smaller threads, these are the threads of possibility. You see how some connect the lovers, while others are frayed, and broken. Each individual Thread between these lovers, represents a relationship of possibility. Some, are thin and worn looking, less bright than others. I can pluck on each, like a fine harp. Each pull will cause some reaction. Watch his mind as I tug here….”

“You saw the glimmer of revulsion, did you not? Excellent. Each thread may be affected with the proper insight. A small shadowed thread has been created now, the potential for chaos and Darkness has been increased. Use your will, and take that thread, weave it through the other strands that mark this place. Attach to that other female, and watch his eyes avert. He is lustful now, less mindful of his lover. You see more Dark threads snaking back and forth. We have caused discord, and strife. Their relationship will never be the same.”

“That thread? Why, it pleases me that you asked. Even as I touched the mind of that young man, a thread connected my Point, to his. The Darkness that marks my place in the Weavery, as you can see, is a maze of threads. Some lead in, others lead outwards. I am quite influential, and many have influences on me. This thread is of particular interest to me, and I watch it carefully, to see when…..that is none of your concern, young one.”

“You can even see the threads connecting you and I. As your teacher, my influence over your is great. You have slight influence over others, but as you rise in stature within the Brotherhood, so too will the number of threads leading from your Point. Even the Mundanes who pass by, and feel a glimmer of fear, from the radiance of my power, establish a connection to me, that empowers me. You can draw power from the connections others establish to you. In turn, you might lose strength from those who influence you. The respect that you show to the Grand Master, or your Consul, enhances their place in the Dark Side.”

“As your Sight develops, you will begin to see even more intricate and delicate weavings of influence. Each a single thread, might be a maze of deeper interconnections, exhibiting the endless possibilities inherent in Chaos. Even the manipulation of a single minute possibility, can have a massive impact on the end result. Each move you make, must be carefully considered, lest the whole scheme unravel at your very fingertips. Make judicious use of your Understanding. The Sight is powerful, and its influence great. The Strength of your will alone is often sufficient to establish a connection, without resorting to the manipulation of preexisting threads.”

“When the Balance shifts, you will be the most prepared to take advantage of the possibilities, young one. The best advice I can give for the future, will always be to travel far, and see much. Follow the thick thread that leads into the Void, let is show you mysteries that perhaps I am not even privy to. As your own knowledge increases, you affect the Brotherhood, and the Order, strengthening our resolve, and driving us closer to the Time of Unending Darkness.”

'''The Threads that Spin:'''

The Marked of the Wanderer are among the most zealous archaeological lore-seekers in the galaxy. Applicants must spend at least a month in the field with a member of the School. Further, they prize scholarship and research capabilities. This requires that they bring one lost fragment of the Chronicle of Dark Souls and present it to the Master of the School, Trevarus Caerick. If he is suitably impressed with their abilities, they will be admitted.

'''Entry Requirements:'''

*Rank of Krath Archpriest or Militant Equivalent.
*Active in the Krath Order for one year, or equivalent Militant Order
*Participated in three Order-wide competitions, including at least one Great Jedi War or Krath *Rite of Supremacy
*Submitted to at least three Dark Voices
*Written one work (100 lines) acceptable for inclusion in the Chronicle of Dark Souls
*Final approval by Trevarus Caerick

'''Titles of the Wanderers'''

*''Erro Marked of the Wanderer:'' These are the newest initiates into the Marked of the Wanderer. They are always the direct Apprentice of a Thrice Marked, and less frequently to a Secunda.

*''Thrice Marked of the Wanderer:'' Generally, the Thrice Marked are high-level Equites or newly appointed Elders. They are always directly Apprenticed to a Secunda Marked. There are never more than three Thrice Marked.

*''Secunda Marked of the Wanderer: '' These are two of the most powerful Marked, and are always the direct Apprentices of the Prima. They never number more than Two, and are always powerful Elders

*''Prima Marked of the Wanderer: '' This Jedi is the direct representative of the Wanderer himself, and is the most powerful Marked. He oversees the whole body of the Marked of the Wanderer.

'''Gifts of the Mark:'''

Due to the unique philosophies of the Marked of the Wanderer, they have many interesting ways of detecting the influence of the Force. Any Marked need only open the Mark, to identify a Jedi using a Force Power. A Dark Jedi’s power will show as a Thread of Shadow connecting the Jedi to the object of their power. In the same idea, they can detect the relative level of the Jedi’s strength, by determining the number, and power of the threads leading into, and out of the Dark Jedi. A Grand Master will have almost no threads leading in, and will have innumerable threads leading out. The relative size of their Point, will also be like a huge pool of shadow, pulsing along their connections.

A Light Jedi too, may be identified in the same way, with their threads coursing as beams of pure white light.

When the Sight is activated, the Marked loses their “normal” sight. Their vision becomes colorless and vague, as they study the Weavery. Everything is blurred, and otherwise obscured. If the Marked is emotionally angry, then their sight is also pusling red, dripping with bloody gore. The various Points within the Weavery, are the first objects the Sight reveals. The level of their training determines the detail that each Marked sees. At the lowest level, a general Point size can be determined, and larger threads can be identified. At the higher levels, the most minute details are visible, and the Marked can make an accurate judgement of how long a Jedi has been at their Rank.

The most powerful of the Marked, can influence the Threads that they can see. This process, of Plucking, can adjust the way the Force influences the interconnected points. For instance, it might be possible for a Marked to cause a thread connecting a Jedi to his lightsaber to break, and the Jedi would drop his weapon. Or, a Jedi studying his opponent, anticipating his attacks, might find that his judgments are wholly incorrect, and be greviously wounded, or even slain. Obviously, the relationships between Rank still apply. A Marked of the status of Krath Priest, would not be able to easily alter the threads of an Adept.

Finally, the Sight of the Mark assists the Jedi in strengthening the interrelationships of groups of magicians, working in unison. By fortifying the bonds between the participants, their magic can be rendered all but impervious to failure.

Shan-Long:

Generally speaking, such vessels are not usually "allowed" as personal property, due to the size, power and the amount of staff/crew needed to operate it. Unless approved by the GM, I would think that this would need to be changed to a vessel that isn't a capital ship. Thanks --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 21:43, 6 November 2007 (MST)

I was told I could have it, years and years ago, by Mairin, because it was grandfathered in as an official EH possession... and it was in line with ships that some Elders possess. Trev can certainly justify the staffing levels required. And under the rebirth guidelines (which I conveniently have a copy of), I can justify it as well. --[[User:Shan-Long|Shan Long]]

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh Pillai]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh Pillai]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

== Character History ==
[[Image:Warbanner.jpg |thumb|200px|right|Spears's Warbanner]]

=== Beginnings ===
The Gen'Dai are a wandering race. Known to explore the galaxy in tight family bands. Spears was born with a desire to know. With each planet he visited he studied every conceivable detail. Eventually he began to desire knowledge of the force. He kept these desires in check for close to 500 years. As the Sith prepared for the last Great War, Spears left his family and joined their ranks in an attempt to gain knowledge of the force. He was wounded, and captured by Republic Forces before he could complete his training. While recovering on a Republic Medical ship, he had a chance encounter with a group of Jedi whom had also been wounded in the War. While they where understandably of their wounded foe, whom was restrained to his med bed. Conversations eventually began and led to the force. While practices and techniques where never discussed. Spears interests where peaked. With the apparent destruction of the Sith following the war, and being known as a former Sith Follower direct access to the Jedi was out of the question. The Sith crushed Spears went back to his family and as the Gen'Dai do he continued to Wander..

=== Live By The Sword... ===

=== Sith Jedi Wars ===

=== Exile & Return ===
For a thousand years he wandered aimlessly. Driven from System to System by his thirst of knowledge. Always remaining in the shadows watching and learning, from those he passed. At one time or another he studied at all of the Galaxies finest Institutes of Learning. Nothing escaped his grasp from the Arts, to Math and Sciences, to date he has acquired over 22 Doctorates in varies subjects and under various assumed names and identities. Of all the things he had learned he has learned how to disappear the best Mastering of the arts of Stealth and Silence. Throughout all of that time his drive to learn more of the Force was never quenched. From time to time he had learned more of the Force most of it remnants of his initial Sith Training and the rest gathered together from ancient Sith and Jedi texts. It wasn’t until he learned of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood that he was finally able to fully immerse himself in the study of the Force. This drive to learn eventually led him to the position of Headmaster, so that he may pass on some of what he has learned to other members of the Brotherhood. As they say a subject is never truly known until it is taught.

[[Tron Dlarit]], a descendant of [[Naga Sadow]], sought a refuge where he could recreate the might of Naga Sadow's empire.

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.

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.

== Detailed History ==

'''Heir to an Empire'''

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.

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.

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.

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 dark sider 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.

Tron Dlarit became Tron Sadow, heir to the Sith Empire, last of the Sadows.

=== Sons and Disciples ===

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.

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.

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.

=== In the Shadow of the Remnant ===

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.

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 [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Regions Unknown Regions] to a star system named [[Antei]].

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 light-speed 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.

=== Empire of the Immortal ===

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.

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]].

=== The Ruination of the House of the Great Battle ===

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.

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.

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.

This article really needs more. From a fictional standpoint, description of the hall itself, maybe some images (someone can make these up based on the description). From a proactical standpoint, perhaps an idea of how people get into the HoI or why certain people are in there.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Tobasa barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. As his uninvolved Apprentice, Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

When he next appeared in the Galactic proper he had began training with a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System. None know how or why he sought out the cult of Sith Heretics, and the Elder himself does answer questions.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh Pillai]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

You need to edit your character's background, as you seem to be heavily involved with a canonical Bloodline, specifically, the Halcyons. This could potentially conflict with the "main" SW timeline and Halcyon Family. --Trev

[[Halcyon Rokir]] is a veteran of the [[Dark Brotherhood]]. Once better known for his skill in a starfighter, he has however become the most recent [[Combat Master]], one of a long line of leadership positions he has held in the Brotherhood
== Character History ==

=== Early Life ===
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 [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corsec 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 [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_system 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.

==== Keeping Safe ====
''17 BBY – 1 BBY''

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.

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.

==== Living Life ====
''1 BBY – 15 ABY''

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”.

=== The Emperor’s Hammer ===

==== Tie Corps ====
''15 ABY – 19 ABY''

[[Image:halcyonuniform.jpg|thumb|right|100 px|Halcyon's Tie Corps Uniform when Wing Commander of Wing IV]]

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.

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.

==== Dark Brotherhood ====
''17 ABY – 19 ABY''

[[Image:halcyongoa.gif|thumb|left|100 px|Halcyon's old Grant of Arms]]

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.

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.

==== Intelligence Division ====
''18 ABY – 19 ABY''

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.

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 former Intel officer.

==== Injustice ====
''18 ABY''

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.

=== Exodus and Beyond ===

==== Rebirth ====
''19 ABY''

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.

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.

==== Growth ====
''19 ABY – 20 ABY''

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.

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.

==== Responsibility ====
''20 ABY – 25 ABY''

[[Image:halc_warbanner.gif|thumb|right|150 px|Halcyon's Current Warbanner]]

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 Rokir|Vassan]] adopting him as a “brother” into the [[Rokir|Rokir family]], a family known for a legacy of architecture and building, talents Halcyon carried relating to starships and fighters.

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.

==== Changing Pace ====
''25 ABY – 26 ABY''

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.

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 [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_republic New Republic].

Upon stepping down from Consul, Halcyon was given the opportunity to work alongside Syn Kaek as his Praetor, much of his time then spent on Antei instead of in his “new” home. After numerous months Kaek decided to venture into the unknown, leaving Halcyon as the new [[Master at Arms]]. Taking on these new responsibilities, he had to give up his duties as Deputy Combat Master and took a more permanent residence in the Dark Hall. Continuing from where Kaek had left Halcyon continued with the re-organization of the MAA office, butting heads with many around the Dark Brotherhood, but ensuring a set of standards were in place.

==== Turmoil ====
''26 ABY - 27 ABY''

As long-time Grand Master Jac Cotelin decided to step down from his position, the elevation of Sarin to Grand Master left a void in the Dark Council. Halcyon was asked to become the next Deputy Grand Master, a position he readily accepted. However, beset by those who had nothing left to offer the Dark Brotherhood, Halcyon's time as second-in-command was tumultuous. However, a [[Second Darkness|Rite of Supremacy]] devoid of Order was successfully run, weeding the weak and allowing the strong to rise to prominence. Named a Lord of the Sith, his time as DGM still soured him, his resignation announced immediately following the end of the RoS.

At the same moment Dalthid had decided to lessen his time in the ACC, opening up the spot of Combat Master. Halcyon was asked to take over, one of the few with the knowledge and skill necessary to run the complicated operations. With much of the politics of the Dark Brotherhood removed from ACC operations, Halcyon accepted the new position.

==== New Status Quo ====
''27 ABY - ''

Accepting his new position, Halcyon had also decided on once again joining a Clan, returning to the only place that felt anything like a home to him. With the permission of the Consul, Rokir was once again a member of House Dinaari in Clan Taldryan, just as the [[Seventh Great Jedi War|Yuuzhan Vong attacked]] the unsuspecting Dark Brotherhood. For the next week Halcyon and the rest of his Clan fled into the Shroud, battling off their pursuers as they reached Antei itself. Reaching the home of their Brotherhood, Halcyon saw flashes of what was to come, and what may be. Although in the middle of a heated battle Halcyon left his Clan to ensure the continued survival of the ACC, journeying to Antei and retrieving the necessary tools to help re-build.

With the entire Brotherhood facing the unknown, Halcyon ensures that their dark jedi are trained in the art of combat, for when the time comes to re-take their true home.

== Miscellaneous Descriptions ==

=== Physical ===
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.

=== Personality ===
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.

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.

=== Weapons ===

==== Custom Vibroblades ====
[[Image: Vibroblade.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|One blade]]
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.

==== Force Lance ====
[[Image: Forcelance.jpg|thumb|left|150 px|Force Lance]]
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 "System's Commonwealth" and their military, the "High Guard" 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.

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.

==== Lightsabers ====
[[Image:Halc-sabers.jpg|thumb|right|150 px|Halcyon's Lightsabers]]
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.

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.

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.

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.

== Character History ==
Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or [[Shan Long]]. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the [[Final Way]], Trevarus has influenced many spheres of [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_side Dark Side] and the origin of the [[Final Way]] have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Dark Jedi.

===Birth and Early Life===
{{quote|What of your father, young one? Mere shades and vapor.|Kiln Tobasa}}

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coronet_City Coronet City], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellia Corellia], he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Council Jedi Council], instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_force the Force]. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber lightsaber], languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Empire Empire] finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corellian_System Corellian System] during the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars Clone Wars], surviving the infamous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Order_66 Order 66]. A group of [[Jedi Hunter|Jedi Hunters]] lead by [[Dark Side Adept|Adept]] Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant] as his protege.

===The Imperial Court ===
{{quote|Do you hear me Tobasa? I swear to death herself, I will kill you!|Trevarus Caerick}}

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_star Death Star] at [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yavin_4 Yavin IV], Tobasa attempted to overthrow the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Emperor Emperor]. Trevarus barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admiral Admiral] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mitth%27raw%27nuruodo Thrawn] of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Admonitor Admonitor].

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

Before the legendary [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Endor Battle of Endor], Trevarus was recalled to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Center Imperial Center] by [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Vader Darth Vader] himself. The [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] ordered him to infiltrate a sect of Force-wielders called the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jensaarai Jensaarai] on a remote world called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Susevfi Susevfi] in the Suarbi System.

He almost died on the approach to Susevfi, his freighter falling under heavy attack from mercenary forces. Crashing into a mountainside, he bled out onto the floor. A healer of the Jensaarai named Carina Slayt found and nursed him back to health over the course of months. The two became close friends and lovers, eventually marrying. Trevarus lost touch with his Imperial superiors, and began training as a Defender. The Sith teachings of the group reminded him of the peculiar religion of his old Master. Regardless, he excelled in his new life and gradually lost his desire for power.

Battle drew him back into the full grasp of the Dark Side. A powerful Dark Jedi invaded the Jensaarai compound, raiding their archives and brutally interrogating members of the sect. Trevarus gave into his rage and slew him, after brutally raping his mind for insight. He felt the call to leave, and that very night he comandeered the dead man's ship and followed his vision to the Aurora System.

===Rites of Initiation===
{{quote|You are my son in Sadow, my brother in arms, and my blood at the end of days.|Tron Sadow}}
Prostrated before Lord Justinian [[Khyron]], Trevarus swore eternal devotion to the [[Iron Throne]]. Upon his formal admission, Trevarus petitioned [[Tron Sadow]] for admission to Independent House Naga Sadow, and was quickly accepted.

He proceeded through the Shadow Academy with unreasonable skill. Accepted into his new House, Trevarus found his true place. He joined the Emerald Serpents Phyle of House Ludo Kressh after the House was chartered as [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Lord Khyron ordered the seperation of Houses by Order, causing his transition to [[House Marka Ragnos]].

Aseret Thunderhawk appointed him a Phyle which he named the [[Night Hawks Phyle]]. As his first leadership role in the Clan, Trevarus demonstrated his ability to organize a unit. The exploits of the original Night Hawks have become legend in the Clan, most famously recovering the Holocron of Antar IV, and investigating the ancient Krath military bases under the ice of Loki. Most of the Tyros Trevarus commanded grew to infamy in their own right. He went on to become Aedile and then Quaestor of his House.

As Quaestor, Trevarus ruled the Sons of Ragnos for only a short time, appointing Enerum Shka as his Aedile, and striking down the rebellion of Arkane Maithal. This act alone saw him appointed to Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, and after the retirement of Ace of Darkened Hearts two weeks later, to Consul.

[[Image:Trevswarbanner.gif|left|100px|Trevarus' warbanner]]

===Beginnings of a Legend===
{{quote|What the hell is that thing in the middle of his forehead?|Deceased Journeyman}}
His reign as Consul has often been referred to the Golden Age of Clan Naga Sadow. Upon assuming the Consulate, he immediately stripped the Clan of unworthy Clansmen, a bloodshed unprecedented, named the Massacre of Sif. Nearly two-hundred fell under his merciless order. With a fresh body of eager Fallen, the Archpriest appointed leaders to each of his Three Houses. When selecting a Proconsul, Trevarus was interested in two prominent members of House Ludo Kressh, then Aedile Kale Lobacz and the Quaestor [[Manesh Pillai]]. Manesh refused the appointment, while Kale answered the Consul's call. A young Commander of Sapphire Squadron named [[Goatham]] was appointed Aedile to replace Kale. Trevarus saw remarkable talent in the Falleen, and took him as his first Apprentice.

The resources available to Trevarus awakened the mystical hunger from his youth. He became the Magistrate, and ultimately Praetor to Arania Lawakiro, the Krath High Priestess. He plundered the archives of the Dark Council, frequently travelling to distant solar systems to seek out artifacts and records from the earlist days of the Great Wars. He balanced the requirements of his Clan, with his own obsessions until one of the greatest tests of his Clan, and his leadership came to pass.

Trevarus had recently returned from a journey to the Orian System, one of many he would take before the Exodus. He had finished a compilation of Dark Side Lore in three volumes, called the Chronicle of Dark Souls. Lord Thedek had retired from the Iron Throne in his absence, and the Lord's successor marked a polarizing transition within the Seven Clans. Archibald Zoraan had been an ineffective Consul of Clan Tarentum, and upon his Ascension, the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow and Taldryan voiced thier opposition. The fires of the Third Great Jedi War marked the alliance of former Grand Master, Lord Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan, and Trevarus. The war stilled, Clan Naga Sadow returned to routine.

The Chronicle of Dark Souls was presented to the Dark Council, and received with trepidation. Much of his research was heretical to the current order, but Trevarus was awarded the Ruby Scepter for his work. He returned to his studies.

For several months after the war, Zoraan had begun horrible experiments in the observatory of the Dark Hall, consuming resources, and wasting lives. He neglected the Dark Council, and was eventually stripped of authority by the Fleet Commander. In a desperate move, he slew several Councillors, and seized the Dark Hall, declaring himself the new Emperor. Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan immediately deployed forces to Eos, and with the aide of the Fleet, broke the seige of the Dark Hall. Zoraan was presumed destroyed in a massive Force Storm.

A few months later, Trevarus would resign as Consul, and disappear for nearly a year. When next seen in Brotherhood space, his features had hardened, and a strange tattoo of an eye was in the middle of his forehead. He called it the Mark of the Wanderer.

===Creation of a Monster===
{{quote|Seven... two... two from one... voices from millions of thousands.|Trevarus Caerick}}
Every Elder felt a strange glimmering in the Dark Side around Trevarus shortly after he appeared with the Mark. His obsessions seemed to consume him completely. In lucid moments, he was pedagogical, sparring with his Apprentice, now named [[Xanos Zorrixor]], and offering lectures at the Shadow Academy. When he appeared with the Amulet of Orian on his arm, the Elders noticed a disturbing new character in Trevarus. His lucid states became less frequent, often slipping into violent meditations and speaking in tongues. After observing him tear an Apprentice's throat out with his teeth, the insane Lord [[Chi Long]] began his own tutelage of Trevarus Caerick.

The Dark Lord twisted Trevarus' rage into a new personality which he named [[Shan Long]], the Thunder Dragon. He promoted Trevarus to Pontifex, and appointed him Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, to serve as his personal historian and representative within the Brotherhood. Shan Long lay dormant, while Trevarus resumed control of his Force. For a year, he worked diligently, but finally retired to Clan Naga Sadow, becoming Proconsul for then Consul Xanos-Zorrixor.

===The Journey of the Seven===
{{quote|We must stand united. The Empire has fallen, and we shall see our brethren into the Final Nights. The wounded and dying shall be left for the crows.|Lord Firefox}}
Trevarus' return to Clan politics marked one of the most unstable periods in the Brotherhood. Lord Firefox, and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin desperately worked to balance the Brotherhood's existence with the Emperor's Hammer who had degenerated into rabble. The Executive Officer pulled for more resources and control of the Brotherhood, and the Iron Throne resisted him. Trevarus, as an experienced officer of the Fleet, worked with Lords Firefox and Cotelin, trying to maintain stability. While in conference with Lord Chi Long, Trevarus offered a vision of a Brotherhood free of the Fleet, recalling a prophecy he had uttered some years before. Together, they approached Firefox and Jac Cotelin. Thus began the [[Seven]].

Timing would be crucial, Trevarus secretly prepared his Clan for the departure. The Dark Lord offered a series of visions, a far off system hidden behind a shroud of the Dark Side. Trevarus had explored such a world many years prior, and led a team of researchers back to Antei, to lay the groundwork for new Brotherhood facilities.

With a new territory secured, Lord Firefox called for the meeting that sparked the Third Brotherhood Civil War, otherwise known as the [[Exodus]].

===Herald of the Final Order===
{{quote|He did something, shadows came out nowhere after he opened his eyes. His body went dead, and the shadows stopped. His body was covered in metal, like a statue.|Korlyn Teras}}
The newly promoted Elder of the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to solidfy the nacent holdings of his Brethren in their new system. Lord Firefox named him [[Oracle]] of the Brotherhood, and charged him with seeking out every possible mystery on his ancient new Throneworld. Construction worked blasting for a new facility uncovered a massive underground cavern. Sensing a disturbance in the Force, Trevarus dispatched a junior apprentice to investigate. While the Apprentice was absent, he delivered one of his most chilling prophecies to the Dark Lord, now called the Tenebric Conclusions. The Jedi Hunter returned, attempting to slay the Oracle and his Praetor, [[Vassan Rokir]]. The ancient Unknown Conciousness was introduced to an unwary Brotherhood.

Trevarus survived the attack by forcing the [[Amulet of Orian]] to cover his body with its invicible protection, while unifying his spirit with the Force through an art called Preparance. Normally only performed by the Grand Masters, Trevarus' lack of skill split his physical and spiritual energies. He would watch the Third Brotherhood Civil War through the blood-red hue of the Dark Side as a helpless shade.

At the conclusion of the conflict, Trevarus would be restored to his body. His spirit however, underwent a dramatic shift. The long dormant personality of Shan Long reemerged, and exerted tremendous control over their body. Trevarus was named Dark Jedi Master, before retiring as Oracle, a move to better control the aspects of his psyche. Moments after his resignation, Shan Long emerged, and attacked the assembled body of the Dark Council. As one of the first actions of his second reign from the Iron Throne, Lord Jac Cotelin returned the Master in chains of Trevarus' own design to the Sons of Sadow on Sepros. His Clansmen worked to restore him to sanity with the assistance of Dark Jedi Master [[Kem-Shu Maeda]]. They succeeded in allowing Trevarus' an incorporeal existence outside of their shared body, a state from which he managed to slay [[Kiln Tobasa]], becoming the new Prima Marked of the Wanderer.

In modern nights, Trevarus continues to travel, researching the deepest mysteries of the Dark Side, and the Consummation of the Final Way. He instructed worthy Apprentices, and guides his Clan with the weight of his experience. Balance has been achieved between his dual personalities, although Shan Long occasionally lashes out in murderous impulse. Trevarus beamed with pride upon the promotion of his First Apprentice, Xanos Sadow to the rank of Dark Prophet after a successful term as Deputy Grand Master. Upon Xanos' return to Clan Naga Sadow, they collaborate to engineer their Clan's triumph in the Final Nights.

Despite his loyalties and memories, Trevarus is rarely seen within the Brotherhood territories. Months pass between his appearances in Sadow Palace, or the Amicus Club. Rumors and speculation follow whispers of the Master over drinks and scratched parchment. Those who probe the Dark Side seeking the enigma only draw tangled missives in two-score languages. All are certain that Trevarus will reappear, with some new mystery for the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi to consider as he draws nearer to apotheosis.

==The Seer, Seeker, and Sorcerer==

{{quote|Trev is probably the most psychotically brilliant Elder around. I've seen that bastard rip throats out with his bare teeth, and utter prophecy with the corpse's tongue.|Anonymous Equite}}

If there were ever a cautionary tale about the dangers of delving too deeply into the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force, the enigma of Trevarus Caerick should serve as the classic example. Were it not for the usefulness of his talents, and the raw pissuance he has demontrated in fanatical devotion to the Final Way, the Iron Throne would certainly have slain him years ago.

As a student of the Krath Order from the earliest days of his induction, Trevarus was fascinated by the legends of the ancient Krath sorcerers. How, through the sheer power of will, they commanded the very elements of the Universe itself, and tore power from the deepest reaches of the Force. His private journals indicate a carefully constructed path to achieving powers the Elders would deny him.

Proving himself a skilled commander of Jedi within Clan Naga Sadow, Trevarus applied for research access within the sealed archives of the Krath Order. Prominent Krath were hesitant, but the High Priestess, Arania Lawakiro took the upstart Equite into her tutelage, appointing him [[Magistrate]] to her office, and finally to Praetor. Trevarus used his nearly unfettered access to the Archives to plunder locations and grimores. He would often disappear for weeks at a time, scouting ancient sites and relics of the earliest Dark Jedi. He never accounted for his findings, or the seemingly haphazard logic to his travels. All the while, he rose in rank as he demonstrated his capabilities and bested rivals. Observers and allies alike agree that these formative years of deep research allowed the fracture that eventually broke his mind.

Trevarus abandoned the bureaucracy of the Krath Order upon his elevation to Krath Pontifex. Called to make an accounting of his studies by frustrated and jealous Krath scholars, Trevarus presented the Chronicle of Dark Souls to Lord Zoraan, finally revealing the depths of his heresy. Perhaps Zoraan should have destroyed him, instead he ordered Trevarus to leave his work unpublished, and presented him with a Ruby Scepter. After his oust from the Iron Throne, his Successor, Lord Chi Long brought the powerful Equite onto the Dark Council to continue his researchs with the sanction of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Pontifex basked in his new authority, researching and practicing the most obscure and potent Krath Magics, delving into areas forbidden even to the most powerful of Elders. Some rumors speculate that he was guided by the combined influence of Lords Chi Long and Jac Cotelin, who protected his life from the powerful forces he wished to command.

After resigning from the Dark Council, Trevarus disappeared for a year, returning with the strange Mark of the Wanderer. It would seem that his connection with this powerful and heretical cult had doubled the powers of an already unparalleled sorcerer. He became violent, unpredictable. Insanity had claimed him. Intrigued, Chi Long began his public tutelage of the Equite.

===The Voice of Shan Long===
{{quote|We... we... are cold... so... so... cold... feed we... must...|Shan Long}}

Trevarus' forays into powerful magic had forced him to utterly focus his will into the Force, supressing all emotions. This latent pressure bubbled over and began to break the Elder. To save his life, Chi Long focused every supressed emotion into a singular vision. By splitting his identity, Trevarus was free to continue, unencumbered by the pressure of the Dark Side, and to expand upon his will-driven explorations into the Force. Begotten of Trevarus, the Birth of Shan Long began with a long slumber, and it seemed that he was fully in control of all his faculties, a spirit sleeping in Trevarus. He was awakened by ancient Gods of the Dark Side who are many thousands of names beyond naming.

It seemed that at the very moment Trevarus stepped foot on the barren, dead soil of Antei, Shan Long awoke. Trevarus' insight had long caught the ear of the Star Chamber, and Lord Firefox had appointed him Oracle some time before, yet with the culmination of the Exodus, the clarvoyant outbursts of the Oracle took a surprising twist. His voice changed, he demanded blood, and any who looked upon his face saw only the wasted visage of a man consumed with passion. Shan Long had a face now.

Trevarus was the first Elder to be affected by the Consciousness. To save their body from death at the blade of a knife, Trevarus retreated his spirit into the very heart of the Dark Side. His art of Preparence utterly split the spirits of Trevarus Caerick and Shan Long. Shan Long was totally consumed by the ravages of the Nameless Ones, yet Trevarus remained untainted. When Lord Firefox rescued the Elder's essence from the Force, Trevarus Caerick was completely changed. His magics became more potent, and with the aide of the powerful Elders of [[Clan Tarentum]], he studied the deepest mysteries of life and death. Even more withdrawn than normal, Trevarus began to lose touch. In his last lucid moment, Trevarus resigned the Dark Council, and asked to be delivered in chains to his Brothers in Clan Naga Sadow.

Eventually, he wrested control of himself back from Shan Long, but nothing would ever be the same. To this day, Trevarus is acclaimed as one of the most gifted and knowledgeable Sorcerers of the Dark Side to serve the Brotherhood, yet the price of this power has been exacted tenfold.

There is no death; there is immortality

The Final Way, Young One, is the pursuit of a hundred lifetimes. No species currently drawing breath across the expanse of the Galaxy can possibly fathom the power of the Dark Side. Only the most serious of minds, the strongest characters will succeed in understanding even the most basic principles of the Consummation of the Final Order

Our legends and stories are many and long; epic tales of the warriors and scholars who have fought for the Consummation, for their own glory, and for the destruction of the Order of the Jedi Knights. For the most dedicated students, not even death will stay their desire to see the lights of Galaxy extinguished.

These are the Immortals of the Brotherhood.

:::::From what I remember of a conversation I had with Trev about this last year or so, my understanding of Kirili at the time was that it was just meant to be a carbon copy of Makashi given a different name by the original Star Chamber Krath due to being developed indepedently of the Jedi version. To that extent I do seem to vaguely recall talking it over with Muz and eventually saying he could use it but only in a similar vein to how the canon Juyo and Vapaad styles are basically two alternate names for the same thing. I'd probably suggest scrapping the page as it is now and just replacing it with something like:
:::::''Kirili is another name for the Makashi Form of lightsaber combat. It was developed indepedently by so-and-so...blah, blah, blah.''
:::::I remember Jac as DGM approving most of the fictional stuff so I can see why Trev may have constituted my words at the time as a formal "approval". I never really intended it as such (at least, not in the sense of making it an official Form on the same level as all those in the Lightsaber Guide, as I've always been very picky about unofficial Forms) but, similarly, I expect I probably was rather vague at the time so I can see where there may have been a misunderstanding. I confess I never have liked the page using the exact same formatting as the other Form pages, as it does make it come across as a wholly distinct Form too much, so I think a simple explanatory page about it being another name for Makashi would work better, maybe with just its historic origins and the reason for two names. If that was done though I'd recommend including a "Behind the Scenes" section at the bottom making clear its an original DB creation so it doesn't end up on Wookieepedia or anything... fanon lightsaber Forms have a habit of becoming canon.
