'''Sanguis Caldiren''' is a Sith Maurader dating from the Republic era who now serves the Empress of Scholae Palatinae after having awoken from cryo-sleep. Once a soldier of his Nagai homeworld who later was forced into the life of a Sith after being captured and experimented on by the Sith of old, Sanguis is now a Sith married to [[Shadow Nighthunter]] and the step-father her sons, [[Artorias Tarsus]] and [[Deus Tarsus]]. He has also fathered a son with Shadow named Sorin. Due to his past experiences from Sith experimentation with alchemy and sorcery, he struggles with an affliction that Shadow continues to help him to control.

== Character History ==
=== Birth===
Sanguis was born on Kotokai in the Old Republic year 3681 to Nataya and Talmiren Caldiren. Both his parents served in the Nagai military, his mother serving as a combat medic while his force-sensitive father was a Captain in the army. It wasn’t long after his birth that his inherited Force-Sensitivity would be detected by his father.

=== Early Life ===
Sanguis grew up in a loving family that upheld the Nagai values of honor. However, unlike most Nagai who sought honor in combat, his parents believed in serving the family as another form of honor; and both parents raised and nurtured their son with both love and discipline. At least until war broke out and both parents were called to service when he was ten years old. Unfortunately, Nataya was in the wrong place at the wrong time attending to the wounded and was killed from a nearby explosion. Her death led to Sanguis’ father returning home to a grieving son. However, the loss of his wife began to take a toll on Talmiren, and he began to exhibit bouts of erratic behavior. Becoming more cold and silent, Talmiren began to ignore his son. On days when he locked himself away in his room, Talmiren’s brother Mukuro would take care of Sanguis and give him the love that his father no longer gave him.
==== Madness ====
Unfortunately, madness would overcome Sanguis’ father one night. Insanity, having him believe that shedding his son's blood would bring his wife back, led the deranged father to attack a terrified Sanguis in bed. Fortunately, Mukuro arrived in time to save the boy. In the scuffle, Sanguis' father was killed by his own hand and blade. The boy, now an orphan, was taken in by his uncle who would continue to raise him.
=== Early Military Career ===
As Sanguis grew up, he took interest in his family's military history. Encouraged by his uncle in hopes that a military career would help him overcome the sorrows of his past, Sanguis joined the Nagai military academy. Determined, the young man excelled in his studies and training and graduated from the academy as an officer for the Nagai military. Proud of his accomplishments, Sanguis' uncle held a party for him with help of Sanguis' comrades. Not long after, Sanguis paid a visit to his parents' graves hoping that they were proud of him.
==== The General's Daughter ====
Prospering in his military career, Sanguis caught the attention of many women. However, there was only one who captured Sanguis' heart, and that was a general's daughter, Elena. Both had met during his latter years in the academy, and they had become friends. However, time worked its magic, and both eventually fell in love with each other. Unfortunately, the sudden disappearance of Sanguis' uncle threatened to ruin their relationship. Mukuro Caldiren's disappearance led to an investigation that would lead to the discovery of a half-burnt journal. Within its pages was recorded the madness of Sanguis' father, and the Nagai's superiors became concerned. Word got out, and rumors spread with many believing that it was the Force or "magic" that drove Talmiren mad. This led to friends and comrades distancing themselves from Sanguis, and Elena's father began to push for his daughter to end the relationship. However, Elena refused to do so, having faith in Sanguis that the Force was more of a gift for him to embrace instead of fearing it.

=== Tragedy ===
Despite all the fear for the officer, Sanguis' life was still a pleasant one. He continued to impress his superiors, and his relationship with Elena flourished to the point that they became engaged. The engagement, however, didn't sit well with Elena's father. Willing to give up his career to be with the woman he loved, Sanguis and Elena chose to elope far away, elsewhere on Nagi. They found a village where they could live in peace. Sadly, a different kind of threat would disrupt their life. Two Sith from an expedition fleet discovered the more primitive world of Nagi and happened upon the village the newlyweds now called home. During their observations, they detected Sanguis' Force sensitivity and studied him. Taking an interest in his potential, the Sith invaded their home. Sanguis did everything in his power to protect Elena while they tried to escape. Unfortunately, Sanguis was overwhelmed, and his wife was killed before him. Anger and pain struck his heart, but his rage wasn't enough to fight off his captors as they led him away. Elena's death pushed him closer to the Dark side, just as the Sith intended.
==== The Bloodlust Experiment ====
The Sith who had captured Sanguis wasn't just any Sith out for a trophy. She was a sorceress, and Sanguis' Force sensitivity made him a great candidate for an experiment of hers involving [[starwars:Sith alchemy|Sith alchemy]] and sorcery. Wanting to create a Sith super warrior driven to shed blood, she and her fellow compatriots performed a ritual. However, a jealous participant subtly altered the process that would unleash a monster. With the ritual having put Sanguis through immense pain physically, mentally, and emotionally, the Nagai had fallen silent once the ritual ended. Thinking she had succeeded, the Sorceress made the mistake of asking an Acolyte to inspect her work. Her advance was only met by Sanguis whirling on her and biting down on her throat. Indeed, he had become a warrior driven by blood lust, but in a more literal sense, no thanks to the one other Sith's sabotage.
==== The Sith Life ====
Before Sanguis was allowed to slay more Sith, he was quickly sedated by another Sith who had sensed the disturbance. Hours later, in a cell, Sanguis awoke to find the same Sith studying him. Of course, his new bloodlust drove him to lash out, much to the Sith's amusement, and the cloaked figure had a blood bag given to him. Though his thirst wasn't fully quenched, Sanguis did find his senses returning to him slowly. While realization, fear, and anger gripped the Nagai's heart, the Sith saw promise in the newly created monster. Appealing to Sanguis' emotions, he introduced himself as Darth T'alrinas, and promised Sanguis a chance of revenge should he agree to serve as his apprentice. It would take many days of trying, but eventually, the Dark Lord's attempts proved fruitful. Though Sanguis hated all Sith with a passion for what happened to his wife-to-be, he knew that what T'alrinas had to offer him would help him get the revenge he desired. In return, Sanguis would also be removing a thorn in T'alrinas' side.
==== Days of Blood and Glory ====
[[File:Sanguis by erisabatt.png|thumb|270x270px|Sanguis by erisabatt on DeviantArt]]
Fueled by hate, his bloodlust, and the Dark Side of the Force, Sanguis endured and strengthened under the harsh mentorship of Darth T'alrinas. It would be the slaying of his own master that would bring an end to his apprentice days, and he was a fully-fledged Sith Warrior that no longer had his master to stay his hand. Even so, the Dark Council of the Sith regime chose not to have him destroyed but instead made use of him while they also provided incentives that would keep him from turning on them. Or, so he allowed them to think. He secretly despised the Dark Council but did not move against them as his focus turned to the Sith who had made him into the monster he was now. That, and he chose to play his own mind games with the Dark Council and potential threats. With the help of the hypnotic voice, Nagai was known for, he often enticed weak-minded Sith to their doom, earning himself a supply of blood while also eliminating Sith that were thorns in his side. He relished in the fear that turned to rumors and stories about his bloodlust, which helped keep some Sith at bay. His reputation, while keeping the Dark Council on their toes, also granted him favor when it came to assignments that the council saw him perfectly fit to carry out.

==== An Unexpected Friend ====
It would be after one of these assignments that the council awarded the Nagai with a slave to use as he saw fit. A Twi'lek by the name of Linette would come into his possession, but instead of treating her poorly or taking advantage of her, Sanguis actually had compassion for her and promised her protection as long as she helped with the upkeep of his estate. As much as a monster Sanguis was, there was one thing that Sanguis tried to hang onto: honor for women. This was only for a woman who wasn't a threat, and Linette's gentle nature reminded him much of his late fiance. Though Linette had been afraid of him after she learned about his condition, she came to show compassion to him as well and became his one and only friend he could confide in. Her presence seemed to help calm him at times, and he even found the temptation to consume her blood slowly disappear. He had much respect for her and even offered her a chance of freedom which she refused. Their friendship would end up saving Sanguis' life at the cost of her own.
==== Tragedy Strikes Again ====
Sanguis' time of glory would be brought to an end when [[starwars:High Republic|High Republic]] Jedi would declare war against the band of Sith who had been plaguing worlds with raiding parties and assassinations. During the war, a rival Sith saw an opportunity to finally take out Sanguis in the [[Caperion System]] on the world of [[Seraph]]. Sanguis, having a fortress as well as a refuge on the planet, was preparing to join the war effort when Darth Silthri attacked with the help of her apprentices and a garrison of soldiers. Caught off guard, Sanguis was wounded in the conflict, though not without taking out the apprentices and some soldiers in the process. Desperate to save her master and friend, Linette activated the inner fortress security system to keep the attackers at bay while she and Sanguis made for the safe house. There, Linette had his wounds treated as best as possible and quickly had the now-drugged Nagai put in the emergency cryotube where he could rest safely against his will. Not long after, a wounded Silthri reached the refuge, and both she and Linette engaged in combat. Armed with a vibroblade gifted to her by Sanguis, Linette faced the Sith without fear. Her devotion and courage resulted in her receiving a saber stab to the abdomen, but not without the Twi'lek landing a blow of her own to the Sith's chest. Her last thoughts were of the Sith she had cared for whole-heartedly, and how she hoped he would one day find the happiness and peace he deserved.
=== Awaking to a New Empire ===
[[File:Something s not right here by haleviyah dg84j9e-414w-2x.jpg|thumb|Sanguis Caldiren and Shadow by Haleviyah on DeviantArt]]
Sanguis would be awakened by TRF survivors on Seraph after they stumbled upon him in Cryostasis, only to meet their demise. Emerging into a new era after centuries of cryosleep, Sanguis would discover that a new Empire had made its presence on the world, led by none other than Empress [[Shadow Nighthunter]] herself. Seeing her as a wanna-be Empress to take down, he would seek her out, their first interaction resulting in a duel as he attempted to take her out. It resulted in a draw, and the two would engage in battle once more, Shadow having sought him out after seeing him as a threat to her Empire and children. It was during this second battle that the two came to realize how broken they both were, and Shadow ended up sparing him for reasons Sanguis came to admire. Afterward, Sanguis visited Shadow often, engaging her in banter to learn more about her while finding amusement in her witty responses.

==== A New Beginning ====
However, to Sanguis' surprise, Shadow offered him a chance to join the clan as her personal bodyguard so she could keep an eye on him with assistance from her friend [[Feanor]]. Over time, however, the two would slowly come to realize how much they needed each other and come to care about one another deeply. During a moment of vulnerability, they would confess their love, with the two eventually getting married after Shadow abdicated the Imperial Throne in secret. They would raise Shadow's sons from her previous marriage to the late [[Brandon Tarsus]], and have a child of their own in 40 ABY by the name of Sorin Remus Caldiren.

==== Treason ====
Unfortunately, Sanguis' nightmare of losing Shadow almost came true after their location of exile was given away to Shadow's enemies. Shadow was kidnapped, but thankfully, she was rescued by a team with minor injuries from torture sessions. Realizing who had given their location away, Sanguis and Shadow would take the twins and relocate to Nagi where Sorin was born. However, they would return to the Brotherhood after an attempt on Shadow's life, the two realizing they couldn't run from her enemies. For a while, they went to Clan Taldryan, but Shadow's heart remained with Scholae Palatinae. So, near the end of 42 ABY, they returned to the clan, starting anew. Instead of a cabin in the woods, they had an estate built in the Arbor Forest on the continent of Seguk on Seraph at the edge of the Kraken Mountains. They would also establish the ''Wolf's Den'', which was a venue for members of the Empire and other guests to enjoy. It was also a chance for Shadow and Sanguis to gain information from gossip and alcohol-loosened tongues. No longer would he and his wife hide from their enemies, but they would inspire fear within them instead.

==== Serving in Acclivis Draco ====
In 43 ABY, Sanguis would make his first move to make a name for himself by becoming the Quaestor of [[House Acclivis Draco]]. No longer did he want Shadow's reputation as a former Empress serving as the only weight of power to their family. He wanted to add his own power on top as head of the family to put more fear in the hearts of those who would dare attempt to harm his family.

== Personal Information ==
[[File:SanguisCaldirenMain.png|left|thumb|313x313px|Sanguis Caldiren by Chizhpng]]

=== General Personality ===
Sanguis Caldiren is generally to himself observing others (if not plotting) when not spending time with his family, but he isn't afraid to be outgoing and charming when it comes to fellow clan members and talks of business. However, his dark side tends to be cruel, sadistic, and cunning when it comes to his enemies. He's not afraid to put his vampiric affliction to use, giving them a false sense of calm with his hypnotic voice before taking their blood either to weaken them for interrogation, or out of sheer pleasure when that darker half of him takes control. He finds pleasure from the fear of others, often having taken delight in observing Sith novices who heard the rumors and tales about his thirst for blood back in his glory days as a Sith. His past experience in the military as an officer allows him to speak charmingly and confidently when it comes to the press or dealing with politicians. He has a great respect for soldiers as well, often being reminded of his simpler days of honor.

When he's alone with Shadow, his softer side comes out, and he'll do whatever it takes to make his wife smile, even if it means getting under her skin just to see her blush. With the kids, he is a loving father, but as they grow older, he doesn't hold back when it comes to their training. Both his time in the military and with the ancient Sith has him pushing his sons hard, and he isn't afraid to discipline Deus when the little scoundrel gets over-confident and tries to be smart. No such disciplinary action is needed for the quieter Artorias, but Sanguis pushes the boy harder to try and bring out the potential that the younger twin struggles to see. Though they are Shadow's sons with her first husband, Sanguis loves the boys as his own, and has sworn a vow to be the best father he can for them. Even if it means honoring Shadow's promise to Tarsus that the boys would be allowed to pick their own path when they are old enough to choose. With Shadow's support, Sanguis plans for Sorin to train not only as a future Sith, but also continue in the military tradition of Sanguis' family with the hopes that one day, Sorin Remus Caldiren would serve the Palatinaean Empire militarily.

When it's with close friends of the family, Sanguis is more open, but his mood and attitude change depending on certain individuals.

It should also be noted that Sanguis has little loyalty to Scholae Palatinae, but he serves the Empire alongside his wife to ensure their children have a secure future and out of respect for Shadow. Kamjin's betrayal of Shadow left a bitter taste in Sanguis' mouth, and he has very little care or trust for the most recent leaders. Just like any Sith, however, he won't shirk from having some influence in the clan.

=== Appearance ===
Sanguis Caldiren is a Nagai with mid-length elfin ears. His pale gray skin is covered with various black, Sith tattoo markings on his face and torso. He is muscular and well-built. He has long, jet-black hair that extends to his lower back with a lock of hair that hangs down the left side of his face. He has amber-colored eyes from the dark side taint. He is also equipped with sharp fangs that give him a vampiric look and help him pierce the flesh of his victims.

[[File:OrseOlo-43ABY.png|150px|left]]

'''[[Orse Olo]]''', (pronounced Or-see Olo) is an information broker and professional slicer operating out of an unknown location in the The Shroud. She is deliberately introverted, keeping her personage away from any outside influences and encounters, opting to instead interact through her many and varied droids.

Orse was born Astrad Orsen Anasaye on Kiast in 12 ABY to a wealthy, conservative, aristocratic family in high regard on the Voraskel court. Orse's father Valaro Anasaye, a Sephi descendant of the Vatali Empire's founder by blood, fell in love with Orse's mother, an Umbaran Quorahi named Oryena Olo, a refugee from the many wars the Empire prosecuted across the galaxy. The two had secret affairs and meetings many times in their youth, but when it came time to solidify their union, Valaro ultimately sided with his family and tradition over love, marrying his appointed spouse mandated by the Anasaye bloodline. Even though he had merely been 7th in line for the throne...

[[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
## Yeah, this one might linger on the list for a while. I don't mind giving a DSS to a rogue but he should serve out his probation first given the nature of his CoJ convication. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
# '''[[Agron Dyrce]]''' has been coming along. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
## Needs images in the body to break up the text. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
## Could use some more linking further down. This might be a time thing, as in Agron just needs more time to develop character history and interactions. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
# Nora mentioned '''[[Selika Roh]]''' in chat--kind of surprised it wasn't featured in the past. It hasn't had a real update since 2020 but a little spring cleaning could get it there. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
#'''[[Reiden Karr]]''' needs to be completed so it can be reconsidered for nomination again. [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 01:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
## CON: Section ''Darkness Elevated (34 ABY)'' needs completed
## CON: Section ''Collective Assault & A New Legacy (35 ABY)'' needs completed
# '''[[Rian Taldrya]]''' at a glance might make the makings of a featured page.
## CON: Slight expansion of the childhood section would strengthen this page.
## CON: "Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed." in the Teen Years section needs to be expanded/completed.
## CON: Rule of Tyranny needs expanded
## CON: tone and greater interlinking need addressed
## if the above are addressed or otherwise remedied the page can be considered for Feature.
## It's got good bones but it's pretty dated. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
# '''[[Iwu Koraha Mahue]]''' is well though out, highly detailed, and offers a wealth of images. It's a good example of how to flesh out a great deal and add it to a world while keeping it concise. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
## CON: Very dated, as the subject matter hasn't been relevant since early 2016. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
# '''[[Orian Frequency]]''' is very cool but needs images and a little love. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 16:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

== Process ==
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.
<hr>
<big>''An article must…''</big>

# …be well written and detailed.
# …be written from an unbiased, third-person, objective point of view.
# …have a complete, detailed biography if the page concerned is a character article.
# …have a succinct and appropriate lead that can be used for the front page [[Template:Featured article|featured box]].
# ...have a properly applied [[Template:Eras|Eras Template]] at the top of the page where applicable.
# …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars.
# …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
# …not contain an unreasonable number (use common sense) of red links.
# …not have been previously featured.
# ...not contain a trivia section comprised of a random assortment of miscellaneous facts. See the [[DJBWiki:Trivia#What this policy is not#not all lists are trivia sections|corresponding article on Trivia]] for more details.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_article Wikipedia:What is a featured article].
<hr>

<big>''How to nominate:''</big>
# First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
# Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
# Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
# The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
# Also, if, at least two week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

<big>''How to vote:''</big>

# Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
# Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either '''support''' or '''object''' the article's nomination.
## If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
# As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
# Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".
Also remember to add <code>{{[[Template:Nominated|Nominated]]}}</code> at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the [[Main Page]] as featured, marked with a Featured icon and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the <code>{{[[Template:Featured article|Featured article]]}}</code> template. Nominees that are inactive for a month may be eliminated from the nominations list.

== Physical Description ==
Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld, descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|518x518px|Velira's armor]]

=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|533x533px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed|left]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

Hello, yes, this is [[dossier:14287|Archenksov]].

== Wiki Type Things ==

My character pages are [[Alethia Archenksova]], [[Vez Hirundo]], [[Iphis Melinoe]], and the ever-neglected [[Teikhos Ta'var]]. Any of those will show off my two main innovations for character pages, which you're welcome to steal for your own use.

=== Reference Lists ===
There's two parts to this. The easy one is just throwing <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> at the bottom of the page. This will automatically generate the list and the note numbers. You can manually adjust how many columns it displays with colwidth: <nowiki>{{reflist|colwidth=30em}}</nowiki>.

Whenever you want to add a new reference, in the spot where you want the note to appear in the main text, you do it like this:

<pre><ref name="The Arch Awakens">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-satele-shan-aedile-report-the-arch-awakens The Arch Awakens]</ref></pre>

That's an HTML <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag around some text. You use the name argument to name your reference, and then whatever is in between the ref tags is what will show up in the list at the bottom of the page. In this case, it's a link to that old Satele Shan AED report with the display text ''The Arch Awakens''. If you want to cite that same reference again later, you just need the first part:

<pre><ref name="The Arch Awakens"></pre>

The name you use inside the ref tag doesn't display on the page, only whatever you put between the ref tags when you first use that citation.

=== Pronunciation Guides ===
The first trick is to write your character's name in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet International Phonetic Alphabet]. This may be a bit tricky if you're not a language nerd, but you can find somebody who is (hi) and send them a voice message on Discord of you saying your character's name. At that point, you just go over to [https://ipa-reader.com ipa-reader.com], enter the IPA, pick a voice, and press the share button. Then it's just a normal wiki link, with the share link as the URL and the IPA as the link text. Example:

<pre>'''Alethia Thul Archenksova''' ([https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%C9%91%CB%90%CB%88li%CB%90.%CE%B8i%CB%90.a%CB%90%20a%CB%90r.%CB%88t%CA%83enk.s%C9%99%CA%8A.va&voice=Amy /ɑːˈliː.θiː.aː aːr.ˈtʃenk.səʊ.va/])</pre>

==Bio Type Things==

My education is in classics and ancient history. My day job has bounced from high school Latin teacher to cyber threat intelligence analyst, with a brief detour in insider threat. I like birds, spookiness, and putting too much thought and effort into frivolous things. I'm in the part of the U.S. where everyone commutes into DC but lives on dirt roads.

Morvane Palace

== '''History''' ==

=== '''Origins: The Open Sanctum''' ===
Before the palace stood, the site was little more than an open stone sanctum— an ancient structure deliberately left exposed to the sky. Here, the earliest known Anzati gathered to perform ritual sacrifice, feeding upon the life force of their prey in ceremonies both communal and private.

The structure’s open design was intentional. The Anzati believed the unseen currents drifting across the sky were the lingering essence of their ancestors... an omnipresent aura that watched, judged, and perhaps even nourished them in return. To feed beneath the open crimson sky was to commune with that ancestral presence.

Over time, more Anzati were drawn to the site. What began as ritual evolved into an eventual society. Hunting became coordinated, feeding became structured, and the foundation of a collective identity began to take root.
----

=== '''The Rise of House Morvane''' ===
With the advancement of technology and the expansion of off world travel with the constructing of floating space ports, the Anzati presence soon spread beyond their homeworld. Many left as diplomats, operatives, and assassins, forming organized networks that funneled wealth, influence, and resources back to their people.

At the center of one such powerful collective rose Ezeryth Morvane, who took the title of their leading Matron. Under her leadership, the once modest sanctum was transformed. Stone gave way to towering architecture, and the structure expanded outward and upward, carved directly into the jagged spires surrounding the site. What had once been a ritual ground became a seat of power, both political and cultural.

Ezeryth Morvane is recorded as the great grandmother of Velira Morvane. Her reign marked the beginning of the palace as a symbol of noble dominance among the Anzati. Her rule came to an end during a planetary conflict that claimed the lives of many Anzati, including the Matron herself. The aftermath ushered in a period of both instability and opportunity.
----

=== '''The Reign of Emperor Vexalis Morvane''' ===
In the aftermath of the war, Emperor Vexalis Morvane, Ezeryth’s successor and Velira’s grandfather, rose to power and led many of the Anzati within this part of their world, into a golden age. Vexalis oversaw a massive reconstruction effort, restoring and expanding the palace into a monumental stronghold of stone and artistry. Beyond its walls, he founded the great city of '''Vexalis''', which would grow to become the largest urban center on the planet. Under his direction, Anzati culture flourished, blending gothic and Sith architectural traditions, with emerging cybernetic and technological advancements.

His rule was defined by expansion and infiltration. Anzati were systematically dispatched across the galaxy as emissaries, spies, and assassins, embedding themselves within foreign powers to manipulate their way into various governing systems. Through this network, wealth and influence poured back into their society, elevating it to unprecedented heights.

Vexalis also redefined internal politics during his rule. Rather than eliminate rival noble houses, he forged alliances through strategic arranged marriages, binding competing bloodlines into a unified aristocracy. This practice became a long standing cultural norm among the Anzati elite. To sustain the growing population, Vexalis established extensive trade agreements with many offworld entities, including dealings within Hutt Space and Nar Shaddaa. These arrangements ensured a steady supply of living prey, though often at significant moral cost.
----

=== '''Decline and the Feral Decree''' ===
Despite his accomplishments, Vexalis’s rule eventually succumbed to excess. His prolonged feeding and unchecked indulgence led to mental degradation, and he began to exhibit signs of ferality— a condition feared among the Anzati for its loss of control and reason. Recognizing the threat he posed, his son, Viktor Morvane, made the decisive and controversial choice to execute him. This act not only ended his reign but also established a critical precedent within Anzati society. From that point forward, a formal doctrine was adopted among the nobility: any individual of ruling blood who displayed signs of ferality was to be executed without hesitation, preserving both the stability of leadership and the integrity of the bloodline.
----

=== '''The Succession Crisis and the Rule of Anvara''' ===
Following Vexalis’s death, his only surviving heir, Viktor Morvane, was poised to ascend the throne. However, it was revealed that he was of mixed heritage and not an Anzati pureblood—the son of Vexalis and a female Sephi. This revelation sparked outrage among the Anzati nobility, for whom blood purity was deeply tied to legitimacy. The resulting political crisis nearly escalated into civil war.

A compromise was ultimately reached. Viktor would not take the throne directly. Instead, he would serve as consort and advisor to '''Anvara Val'Neryx''', a pureblooded Anzati noblewoman of significant standing. Upon marriage, she assumed the name Morvane and ascended as ruler.

Anvara’s reign was marked by reform. She sought to regulate feeding practices, ensuring that sustenance was distributed more evenly among the population rather than hoarded by the elite. Additionally, she attempted to establish more controlled and “ethical” sourcing of prey, favoring agreements with off world prison systems over the indiscriminate targeting of civilians. These policies, while stabilizing for the general populace, were deeply unpopular among the nobility.
----

=== '''The Coup of Viktor Morvane''' ===
Over centuries, resentment grew. Viktor Morvane, dissatisfied with his subordinate role, began to consolidate power among discontented noble houses. Promising a return to traditional privilege and excess, he gained widespread support from those who opposed Anvara’s reforms. A coup was eventually orchestrated. Anvara was overthrown, imprisoned, and deliberately starved—her execution carried out under the very decree established during Vexalis’s fall. With her death, Viktor claimed the throne for himself.
----

=== '''The Modern Era''' ===
Viktor Morvane has ruled for the past three centuries, maintaining control through a combination of political manipulation, noble alliances, and strict adherence to the structures that preserve his authority. Under his rule, the palace remains both a symbol of Anzati power and a reminder of its bloody history—a place where ritual, nobility, and predation are inextricably intertwined.

== '''Palace Layout''' ==
The Morvane Palace is an immense structure carved into the jagged spires of the Anzati homeworld, blending ancient stonework with refined technological enhancements. Its layout reflects both the predatory nature of its inhabitants and the aristocratic culture that defines their rule. Each chamber serves not only a functional purpose, but also reinforces the rituals, hierarchy, and aesthetics of Anzati society.
[[File:Chridactyl.webp|thumb|Chrodactyl Guadians]]
----

=== '''Lava Moat, Caverns, and Chirodactyls''' ===
Encircling the outer perimeter of the palace lies a vast moat of molten lava, serving as both a natural defense and a stark reminder of the planet’s volatile nature. The flow is carefully channeled through ancient geological formations, creating a near constant barrier that isolates the palace from the surrounding terrain. Beneath and beyond the structure stretches an extensive network of subterranean caverns. These tunnels wind deep into the planet’s crust, eventually opening into massive chambers where exposed magma pools and rivers flow freely. The caverns serve multiple purposes— natural reinforcement, hidden passageways, and, at times, places of exile or disposal. Deep in the caverns, ferals lurk in packs, intentionally placed there to act as deterrents against anyone, Anzati or not, who seek to infiltrate the palace.

Guarding the palace skies are five massive Chirodactyls, bound to the Morvane bloodline and the land itself, trained as living sentinels to guard the palace. These creatures patrol the airspace above the palace and its surrounding spires, their presence alone enough to deter most intruders. Highly territorial and fiercely loyal, they respond aggressively to any unauthorized approach. In addition to these guardians, dense populations of smaller bat like creatures inhabit the spires and cavern entrances. They swarm the skies in near constant motion, particularly during the darker cycles, creating a shifting veil of wings and shadow around the palace.

=== '''Ballroom''' ===
The palace ballroom serves as the primary venue for galas, ceremonies, and diplomatic gatherings. Constructed from imported marble and illuminated by a constant low red glow, the space balances elegance with an ever present sense of unease. At its center stands a grand organ, often played during formal events. Along the perimeter, a fully stocked bar caters to guests and nobles alike. Adjacent to the main floor lies a designated feeding gallery. This area features suspended chains and raised platforms, where prey are displayed or restrained as part of elaborate entertainment rituals. Feeding in this space is often performative, reinforcing both status and control among attendees.
----

=== '''Throne Room and Dining Hall''' ===
The throne room functions as the political and ceremonial heart of the palace. At its center rises the primary throne, reserved for the reigning Emperor or Empress. The structure itself appears almost unnatural—formed from jagged, shadow like stone that seems to shift subtly depending on the light.

Flanking it are two smaller thrones, traditionally occupied by advisors, consorts, or members of the ruling bloodline. Extending from the throne space is a vast stone dining hall, dominated by a long table etched with centuries of use. Chains are affixed along its surface, stained with the remnants of countless feasts. Here, large-scale communal feedings take place, often coinciding with political gatherings or celebrations. A bar is positioned along the outer wall, ensuring the flow of drink and indulgence remains uninterrupted throughout such events.
----

=== '''The Laboratory''' ===
Resting within one of the tall palace spires, is the laboratory. This chamber serves as a nexus for both Sith alchemy and Nightsister practices, merging disciplines in pursuit of power and understanding. The walls are lined with carbonite frozen specimens— beings from across the galaxy preserved both for research, as macabre displays of conquest, and as decor. Rumors persist of a sealed vault within the laboratory complex, said to house cultivated strains of disease. These biological agents are believed to be maintained as potential weapons, capable of devastating entire populations if ever unleashed.
----

=== '''Courtyard''' ===
At the heart of the palace lies an expansive courtyard, designed to mimic a controlled wilderness. Dark, towering trees form a dense, forest like environment, their canopies filtering light into shifting patterns across the ground below. A small lake rests at its center, still and reflective, framed by the surrounding spires that rise like natural battlements and surrounded by fog. Throughout the space, deep crimson and bioluminescent purple flora thrive, casting an eerie glow during the night cycles. Along the courtyard’s perimeter stands a modest cottage, used to house the palace’s groundskeeper—an often overlooked but essential role in maintaining the delicate balance of the environment.
----

=== '''Ritual Space''' ===
The ritual grounds represent the oldest surviving portion of the palace complex, predating all other structures. Located within the courtyard yet distinctly set apart, this space remains open to the sky, unobstructed by architecture. Encircled by ancient stone formations and crystalline structures, the area is considered the most spiritually significant site on the grounds. It is here that the Anzati believe the flow of ancestral life force is strongest. Ceremonies conducted within this space often mirror the earliest traditions of their species, emphasizing communion with both prey and the unseen presence of their ancestors.
----

=== '''Kitchen and Holding Pens''' ===
Beneath the palace lies a sprawling network dedicated to the preparation and storage of sustenance. Referred to collectively as the kitchens, these chambers are designed not for traditional food, but for the handling of living beings intended for consumption. Secured holding pens line the corridors, where captives are contained upon arrival from offworld shipments or local acquisition. The area is heavily reinforced, ensuring containment at all times. From these pens, individuals are selected, processed, and delivered to various sections of the palace depending on need.
=== '''The Dungeons''' ===
----Separate from the holding pens, the dungeons extend deeper into the natural cavern systems beneath the palace. Unlike the structured containment areas above, these chambers are raw, uneven, and intentionally oppressive. The dungeons are reserved for prisoners of significance— those accused of treason, political enemies, or individuals deemed worthy of personal interrogation. Torture chambers are embedded within this network, equipped for both physical and psychological extraction of information.

=== '''Pleasure Den''' ===
----Located beneath the main level, the Pleasure Den is a dimly lit chamber bathed in deep red light, serving as a center of indulgence and vice. Raised platforms host performers, while surrounding tables are used for high stakes gambling. A bar lines one side of the room, acting as a social hub. Toward the rear, private rooms furnished with leather tufted couches offer seclusion for discreet dealings and personal indulgence, away from the watchful eyes of the court.

=== '''Hot Springs and Bathing Chambers''' ===
----Deep within the cavern network beneath the palace lies a series of natural hot springs, where geothermal heat rises from the planet’s core to form steaming pools of mineral rich water. The chambers have been refined with polished stonework and elegant architectural finishes, blending natural formation with deliberate design. Carved walkways and bathing platforms surround the springs, allowing for both communal and private use. The space is adorned with finely crafted marble sculptures, many depicting idealized Anzati nude forms, adding an air of opulence. The bathing chambers serve as a place of restoration and reflection, where nobles and inhabitants alike retreat from the intensity of palace life into the depths below.

[[Iphis Melinoe]] (<nowiki>/</nowiki>[https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%CB%88%C9%AAf.%C9%AAs%20me.l%C9%AA.%CB%88n%C9%99%CA%8A.e&voice=Amy ˈɪf.ɪs me.lɪ.ˈnəʊ.e]<nowiki>/</nowiki>) is a [[Krath]]-trained Sith who recently returned to the Brotherhood after fleeing [[Lyspair]] during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Antei]] in 21 ABY.

== Biography ==
=== Childhood (9-21 ABY) ===
Iphis was born the second daughter of a minor noble house in the [[starwars:Hapes Consortium|Hapes Consortium]] in [[0_BBY_to_9_ABY#9_ABY|9 ABY]]. As a child, she came to the attention of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and was enrolled at the [[Shadow Academy]] in [[10_ABY_to_19_ABY#19_ABY|19 ABY]].

In [[20_ABY_to_29_ABY#21_ABY|21 ABY]], the Brotherhood was assaulted by a previously unknown alien force called the Yuuzhan Vong. When it became clear that Brotherhood forces had little hope of fending off the Vong invasion of [[Antei]], [[Aristan Dantes|Darth Sarin]] initiated a contingency plan called the [[Braata Option]]. Brotherhood forces were instructed to abandon the system and regroup outside the Shroud. Three years later, the Brotherhood would reclaim the system. Iphis would not be among them.

=== Phaistos (21-42 ABY) ===
Rather than follow the Braata Option, the elder instructors and archivists Iphis studied under abandoned the Brotherhood entirely, seeking a relatively sparsely populated world that a group of 19 Force-users could dominate. They found it in Phaistos, a backwater on the far side of Sith space.

Phaistos had been colonized by one ancient Sith empire or another in the distant past, but by 21 ABY that was a distant memory. The planet was occupied by a small but self sufficient population of native humanoids divided into a handful of major polities.

The refugees comprised three equite instructors from the [[Shadow Academy]] and a dozen students of novitiate or journeyman rank, Iphis among the youngest of them. The group, which semi-seriously referred to itself as the coven, fell under the initial leadership of Iphis’ master, the Fosh Krath priestess Colibrip. The Coven were too weak and too few to dominate the planet by force, and Colibrip worked to secure a position as refugee advisors to the Royal Court of Sumire, one of the more dominant states. After a decade of developing the Coven’s power, Sumiren court politics, and the occasional assassination, Colibrip established herself as the power behind the throne.

=== Prodigal Daughter (43 ABY-Present) ===
Iphis appeared in Brotherhood space in 43 ABY, offering what knowledge and artifacts she could salvage from Phaistos in exchange for asylum. She was immediately inducted into the [[Envoy Corps]] despite the [[Exarch|Exarch's]] misgivings.<ref name="Shame Corner 12">[https://discord.darkjedibrotherhood.com/rp-sessions/qDG.html Shame Corner 12]</ref> Her envoy duties included at least one return trip to the Phaistos, accompanied by [[Marick Tyris Arconae]] and the Envoys [[Dusa Harik]] and Myra Baas.<ref name="Operation Klotho">[https://discord.darkjedibrotherhood.com/rp-sessions/aJE.html Operation Klotho]</ref>

Using funds provided by the Iron Throne, Iphis purchased a vessel for herself, ''The Saint of Awe'', a refurbished ''Cosinga''-class corvette from Andromeda Shipworks on [[starwars:Nubia|Nubia]]. She managed to convince the owners' invalid daughter to join her and take command of the vessel.<ref name="All She Ever Wanted">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sWu25YEOTNnjNypOjkjDeLEvc81rz7DzcFBvFwv3niQ/edit?usp=sharing All She Ever Wanted]</ref><ref name="Castle">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/11xQo2Mv07yNBrtn5cvKf31yFuNR2y6UVyDCV1sb4e8I/edit?usp=sharing Castle]</ref><ref name="Heartache">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/115nYyIoIAo8UlrUJNWowk-acUngs6NB0V620Y4Oi4HQ/edit?usp=sharing Heartache]</ref><ref name="Nodes of Nightmares">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oNKJv-HraYJb9HJiW2Exb20DaFWHuxsoWxFsaM3Ul20/edit?usp=sharing Nodes of Nightmares]</ref>

== Description ==
[[File:Iphis.jpeg|right|400px]]
=== Appearance and Attire ===
Iphis is a Hapan female with fair skin and straight, thick, pale blonde hair. She is exceptionally tall without the athletic build to support it, more willowy and coltish than amazonian.

Iphis has a heart-shaped face with a distinct jawline tapering to a pointed chin, set atop a long, delicate neck. Her nose is relatively narrow with a slightly pointed tip. She has a cruel mouth with full lips and a prominent cupid's bow. She has expressive eyes with a noticeable upward tilt at the outer corners. Her eyebrows are well-defined and dark, contributing to the intensity of their gaze.

Iphis would epitomize pureblood Hapan beauty if not for her eyes and the fact that her right arm is missing from the mid-humerus down, replaced with a skeletal, gilded cybernetic. While her eyes are striking, the sheer intensity of their emerald green color is inhuman, and their vibrancy makes her skin and hair look washed out and lifeless in comparison.

Contrasted with the rest of her features, Iphis' eyes and height underscore a sense that she is not quite the sum of her parts. It's as if she had been cobbled together from a small group of individually gorgeous women whose individual aspects don't match. Her build is lithe and delicate and she would be dainty if not for her height; she is tall and imposing, or would be if she had the frame to back it up. Her bone structure and facial features share perfect bilateral symmetry, an effect ruined entirely by her mismatched arms.

=== Speech and Mannerisms ===
She affects a heavy, artificial tedium, or a faint and glittering malice, sometimes even a self-deprecating humorousness. Iphis speaks with a highborn Hapan accent that's been somewhat mutilated by decades away from the Consortium. She sounds Hapan to outsiders, less so to native Hapan-speakers who aren't as far removed from their homeland.

=== Personality ===
Iphis' personality can be charitably described as "extra;" for those who've gotten to know it, it can be easy to forget how unobtrusive and easily overlooked she is around strangers. Her genuine indifference to other people's feelings and natural caution mean Iphis goes out of her way to avoid attracting attention or scrutiny—at least until she's in a sure position to gloat.

Iphis plays up being a decadent, shallow mean girl. She really is one, but her public persona can exaggerate these tendencies to the point of caricature. She pretends to forget people’s names, has prepared flowery put downs she can inflict onto which target is convenient, and will push people's buttons if there’s nothing better to do.

Assuming that this means she cares about others’ opinions of her would be a mistake, however. Ultimately, other people are merely extras in the background of her starring role in life, hardly worth the sustained attention. She’ll play along with insults, lightsaber-measuring contests, and torrid love affairs so long as they're amusing her, but when they inevitably become tedious, Iphis moves on without fanfare.

=== Skills and Abilities ===
Iphis is brilliant, strong willed, and possesses an unusually focused and inquisitive mind, all of which come as an unpleasant shock to those who judge her by her shallow persona. Although limited by fairly rudimentary technology of Phaistos, she's a competent biomedical technician, with skills both informing and informed by her use of the Force to control granular biological functions.

==== The Force ====
Iphis specializes in channeling the Force through living material, namely her own body and those of sapients unfortunate enough to draw her attention. Her mastery of '''Control Self''' and '''Healing''' allow her precise control over a wide range of bodily functions, and she's only slightly less competent using '''Amplification''' to augment herself further.

Iphis is adept enough at '''Concealment''' to leverage it more or less indefinitely; if another Force-user detects her, it's by her choice.

==== Combat ====
Iphis didn't have a lightsaber when she fled Lyspair, and the group didn't have access to kyber crystals to construct new ones on Phaistos. What they did have was Pavo’s proficiency in Sith Alchemy, which he used to craft weapons for the group’s younger members. By the time Iphis had a lightsaber to practice with, she was already proficient with physical edged weapons. As a consequence, while Iphis can wield a lightsaber to deadly effect, it's frankly a step down from what she can do with her sword.

== Ship ==

Iphis' personal ship is ''The Saint of Awe'', which also serves as her primary residence. ''The Saint'' is a ''Cosinga''-class heavy corvette that was refurbished by the Nubian boutique shipyard Andromeda Shipworks according to plans provided by [[Arx Capital Exchange]]. Phaedra Asterion serves as the ship's captain and Iphis' personal secretary.

Lady '''Alethia Thul Archenksova''' ([https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%C9%91%CB%90%CB%88li%CB%90.%CE%B8i%CB%90.a%CB%90%20a%CB%90r.%CB%88t%CA%83enk.s%C9%99%CA%8A.va&voice=Amy /ɑːˈliː.θiː.aː aːr.ˈtʃenk.səʊ.va/]) is a Human female diplomat who previously served as [[Headmaster|Headmistress]] of the Brotherhood, [[Exarch|Exarchissa]], [[Consul|High Councillor]] of Odan-Urr, and one of the primary leaders of the [[The Lotus|Lotus]] movement. Alethia came of age in the early years of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]], which she served faithfully until being placed in stasis a few days after the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]]. She was, ironically, rescued from this fate by the Jedi [[Edgar Drachen]] 33 years later and joined him in Clan Odan-Urr before eventually making her way onto [[The Council|the Council]].

== Character History ==
=== Youth and the Empire (29 BBY–0 BBY) ===
[[image:AlethiaDress.png|left|150px]]
Alethia was born on Coruscant during the waning years of the Galactic Republic, and her life before Odan-Urr was profoundly influenced by the rise of [[starwars:Darth Sidious|Sheev Palpatine]], who was already the Republic’s Supreme Chancellor by the time she was born in 29 BBY. Her early years were spent in quiet but increasing comfort and her father’s munitions business grew steadily as the rule of law began to fray at the edges. When the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] broke out, business boomed as the galaxy burned. In the pre-war period, Alethia and her younger brother spent their summers on [[starwars:Alderaan|Alderaan]] with their mother’s family, despite their disapproval of their father’s profession. But manufacturing gave way to naked war profiteering and Alethia’s mother, now completely estranged from her family, grew increasingly involved in the [[starwars:Commission for the Preservation of the Republic|Commission for the Preservation of the Republic]].

The feelings crystallized after the [[starwars:Battle of Coruscant|Battle of Coruscant]], when Separatist forces raided the capital and nearly made off with the Chancellor himself. Already staunch supporters of Palpatine, the attack on their home and the subsequent Jedi coup attempt pushed Archenksova’s family closer to the nascent New Order. The family were active and devoted [[starwars:Commission for the Preservation of the New Order|COMPNOR]] members and Alethia was an early member of the [[starwars:Sub-Adult Group|Sub-Adult Group]]. At 16, she was admitted to the [[starwars:Royal Imperial Academy|Royal Imperial Academy]] on Coruscant.

Although she excelled in her studies, Alethia was diverted from a military career. Shortly before graduation, she stumbled onto a plot by a classmate—with whom she was romantically involved despite anti-fraternization regulations—to bomb an assembly including senior brass.<ref name="Core Memories">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KkUFSeBlM-QZHbSMnyNJ7bgbsfMy0iEz Core Memories]</ref> By disrupting the plot and killing the perpetrator, Alethia earned herself a position in the [[starwars:Imperial Security Bureau|Imperial Security Bureau]].

Archenskova’s ISB career began with several assignments to the Mid and Outer Rim worlds, ferreting out corruption in situations where production quotas were going unmet or valuable Imperial resources were being sold on the black market instead of making their way to the military. After three years, she was reassigned to the Core, operating under cover as a member of the [[starwars:Coalition for Progress|Coalition for Progress’]] Art Group. In this capacity, she eventually settled on Alderaan, where she was successful in integrating herself into elite circles. As she discovered individuals who were financing the rebellion, Alethia used blackmail and threats of imprisonment or execution to pressure the disloyal into revealing information.

Alethia’s career came to an abrupt ending just before the [[starwars:Battle of Yavin|Battle of Yavin]]. Recalled to Coruscant to report on the Organa family’s involvement in the Rebel Alliance, Alethia was offworld when the Death Star destroyed the planet. With no immediate use for her, the ISB enlisted her in a pilot project to place agents in stasis to reserve them for future needs. Archenksova was put into a state of suspended animation aboard a specially refitted freighter, the ''Shalott,'' which was programmed to jump randomly through hyperspace until it received a recall order from Coruscant. With the chaos surrounding the collapse of the Empire, that signal never came.

=== Fighting for Odan-Urr (33 ABY – 35 ABY) ===
[[image:At_the_tipsy_tusken.jpg|right|300px|Alethia with Aaleeshah and Turr Darvesh]]{{Quote|Words cannot adequately express the deep sense of loss and sincere personal sympathy which we of the Odanite Expeditionary Forces share with you at the loss of your son.|Alethia Archenksova<ref name="Bonds">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VSDOt--knvb6lbzaOYMLozbeiNonwtL73AKCWGJBJho/edit?usp=sharing Bonds]</ref>}}
33 years later, the ''Shalott'' arrived in the [[Yhi System|Yhi system]], between the orbits of Suni and [[New Tython]]. A small team of Jedi, led by [[Edgar Drachen]], boarded the vessel to investigate it. All but one of the stasis pods had fatally degraded during the voyage. Drachen had Alethia, the sole survivor, revived and taken back to the [[Arca Praxeum]]. Drachen and his superior and old friend, [[Turel Sorenn]], interrogated and debriefed the captured ISB agent. Satisfied that she would not be a threat, and sympathetic to her plight, Sorenn commissioned her into the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force]] as a lieutenant and assigned her to House [[Satele Shan]] in [[Seher]].

Despite her culture shock, Alethia adjusted to life in the KUDF and quickly distinguished herself. When [[Mako Henymory]], a [[Krath]] displaced by the initial phase of Darth Pravus’ purges, became Quaestor of Satele Shan, he took her on as his assistant and Aedile. Alethia, for her part, reached out to Mako’s predecessor, [[Mar Sûl]], in hopes of better understanding Force-users and their capabilities.<ref name="The Arch Awakens">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-satele-shan-aedile-report-the-arch-awakens The Arch Awakens]</ref>

This training was short-lived. Mere weeks into her term as Aedile, Darth Pravus and the Iron Navy arrived at New Tython to exterminate the Jedi. Alethia and Mar barely escaped with their lives, though the Seherob were not so lucky.<ref name="Darkest Hours">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LCByfMCORzqf-9On1nXRjb_IPzAYfvcr Darkest Hours]</ref> Fleeing the ashes of New Tython, the Odanites responded to a distress call from Florrum, where members of Undesirable species and the suppressed Krath and Obelisk orders were [[Battle of Florrum|under attack]] from Clan Plagueis. Alethia coordinated Satele Shan’s logistical efforts and began the hunt for Inquisitorius agents who might have infiltrated the house’s ranks.<ref name="The Settling Dust">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=11inH5mLxBZ0NvcHr3ahfw_t5-7V_glcN The Settling Dust]</ref> Despite valiant effort by the Odanites, Plagueis was victorious and the Undesirables were enslaved or exterminated. Mako, in the wake of losing two of his dearest companions, gave into his grief and messily slaughtered several Plagueians. Alethia took acting command of the house while Henymory was imprisoned by the Council.

There was some good news, however; High Councillor [[A'lora Kituri]] was guided by the Force to the reclusive [[Vatali Empire]]. In exchange for deleting the Vatali’s home system, [[Kiast System|Kiast]], from the First Order’s star charts, Empress Kaltani Anasaye offered the Odanites shelter in their secluded nebula. Drawing on her experience with the Empire, Alethia led the mission to infiltrate the First Order.<ref name="Resistance: Prologue">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iFjU6Zt7l7pWHeJart3iF8bfKCd5Hyl6 Resistance: Prologue]</ref> In the following weeks, with Mako still in jail, Alethia represented Satele Shan in their first audience with the Empress.<ref name="Satele Shan May 2016 report fiction">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u56bIR-Mcd1GVW-N58vqbQFeWA8CFnMj Satele Shan May 2016 report fiction]</ref> As the Vatali Conclave debated whether to allow the Odanites to stay permanently, Alethia helped lobby the nobility for support,<ref name="Dirty Deeds">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O9KBZmMjW6tKTtPlGUzqpSx0JY44XNaf Dirty Deeds]</ref> and was so involved in the process that she even selected the High Councillor’s dress for the final Conclave vote.<ref name="Homecoming">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r9NHpCsBp6n5Y_JnwghGw6DT4UnA-anY Homecoming]</ref>

The Conclave voted to allow the Odanites to settle, and Mako and Alethia set up shop on [[Daleem]] and turned their attention to the war against the Iron Throne. After Henymory stepped down and Alethia took command as the [[Quaestor|Director]] of the newly reorganized JTF Satele Shan, she set out to destroy the Sith through any means necessary. Odan-Urr had formed an alliance, the White Lotus, with Clan Arcona, and Alethia led a combined force in a mission to destroy the Iron Navy’s starship assembly yard.<ref name="Rise of the Lotus">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fF5xoxxysj1KN_suAoj_08NkVsGhOxwd Rise of the Lotus]</ref> More controversially, she embarked on a campaign of targeted assassinations of Sith targets, even recruiting House Excidium’s quaestor, [[Aura Ta'var|Blade Ta’var]], to the cause.<ref name="Bonds" /> However, the brutality of these missions was unsettling to many Jedi.<ref name="The Same Thing You Want">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lY8VwXjAcNHtjkBkBrdGnYhyAbWZTw4A The Same Thing You Want]</ref>

Events came to a head in a Council meeting. Although the Council and the new High Councillor, Turel Sorenn, reluctantly supported Alethia’s activities, Councillor V’yr Vorsa was so disturbed by them that she resigned in disgust and set out to break Blade free of both the Sith and Alethia’s influence.<ref name="Choices">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1j9G_RvtoAJjcV6Y5ISDrtVwLZkhCFhPx Choices]</ref> However, the opposing parties were reunited at Paragon Colony in former Taldryan space, where Alethia made personal enemies of Grand Inquisitor Ishanta and Herald [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] while Vorsa dueled Pravus’ personal assassin, [[Necren]].<ref name="Token Real Girl">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wOeUZ12lxPQod043qDSQxLYUtqhkt_0WHvZs506ujpE/edit?usp=sharing Token Real Girl]</ref> Although Vorsa remained estranged from the Council of Urr, Blade Ta’var completed her defection to Odan-Urr and the Jedi.

=== The White Lily of Kiast (35-37 ABY) ===
[[image:AlethiaConsul.jpg|left|300px|Alethia with Len Iode, Tamashi Adaephon Delat, and Edgar Drachen]]{{Quote|The Council will do what I tell it to. Do you know why?

After Satele Shan settled in on [[Daleem]], Alethia turned her considerable skills at manipulation to the war effort, producing a steady stream of propaganda to aid recruitment as boost morale. By mid-35 ABY, her skillful networking and self-promotion was beginning to pay off. Along with [[Arcia Cortel]] and [[Ihi Ariki]], Archenksova had become one of the new non-Force-users to ascend to the higher levels of power within Odan-Urr, or, for that matter, the entire Lotus. Her reputation as a hardline hawk, while troubling to the Jedi, endeared her to many in the [[Odanite Expeditionary Force|OEF]] and especially to the Tythonian refugee population who hungered for vengeance. Although many of the Jedi had their doubts about her, Alethia’s popularity among the rank and file elevated her to a seat on the Council.

Alethia helped take the lead on expanding the Lotus, as she and High Councillor Sorenn formed a tenuous alliance with [[Rhylance]] of the battered [[Clan Taldryan]]. Despite a level of mutual distrust, the Odanites helped Taldryan steal several warships from the Iron Navy.<ref name="Desperate Measures">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-klRH79c2Mb21LNQR2zwEr2ljO3oT88H Desperate Measures]</ref> Taldryan turned those same vessels against the Iron Throne, and fought alongside Odan-Urr and Arcona against the Grand Master’s flagship, the ''Suffering.'' Unfortunately, that battle took and abrupt turn for the worse as Rath Oligard’s [[The Collective|Collective]] arrived on the scene and routed the allied forces.

Odan-Urr was not unscathed by the Collective’s abrupt and devastating attack on the Brotherhood. Oligard’s agents had infiltrated the Sentinel Network and assassinated many reliable sources, and the Lord Superior himself managed to hijack OEF frequencies to broadcast a call to arms for all non-Force-users. Amid growing tensions between Jedi and non-Jedi, High Councillor Sorenn made the controversial decision to open a second front in Odan-Urr’s war for survival.<ref name="A House Divided">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=15dNmHKzf_fddPmMKKh78pLj6Knda5tRf A House Divided]</ref> After [[Twelfth Great Jedi War|a successful strike]] against the Collective’s homeworld, Nancora, Alethia leveraged Sorenn’s support and her own popularity among the OEF and SeNet to take the position of High Councillor.<ref name="Resolution">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1duBpewe6i6A7lpHnhKzjcB8_j03Zv4pc Resolution]</ref>

Despite the resounding Odanite-Brotherhood victory at Nancora, the war against the Collective would come to dominate Alethia’s tenure as High Councillor. The Collective retreat from Nancora served as cover for an attack on the clans. Thanks to a warning from Turel, most of the clans’ fleets were able to cut off the attack, although the Collective forces massed over [[Yridia II]] and destroyed the Odanites’ former rivals in Clan [[Tarentum]].

Even with the new threat, the Odanites were still at war with the Iron Throne and Alethia doubled down on the Lotus alliance with Arcona. The two clans celebrated their victory and continued survival at [[starwars:Canto Bight|Canto Bight]] as cover for a strike against the Collective’s financial backers in [[The Collective: Capital Enterprises|Capital Enterprises]].<ref name="The Consul Bride">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FknIKaVLCZmtWH4A_d12gzOEaycShFO2/view?usp=sharing The Consul Bride]</ref> Although the two clans secured another victory, it came at a significant cost as Turel and several padawans were taken captive.<ref name="The Consul Bride Finale">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kczV2g572asw5xAfoGZCGdSabDwlX7b2/view?usp=sharing The Consul Bride Finale]</ref>

Alethia prepared permanent accommodations for the Council of Urr and the Odanite fleet by commissioning a dedicated platform for Odan-Urr so that her forces would not be reliant on the Vatali Empire’s [[Palioxis Station]]. The Odanites occupied the new station, [[Pharos]], midway through her term.<ref name="Tipping Point">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jdt5z8yOTiuh1P42ye9vk9ToN3Zi0L4v/view?usp=sharing Tipping Point]</ref> This proved prescient, as the Vatali were about to become highly unreliable allies.
[[image:AlethiaOlena.png|right|200px|Councillor Archenksova wearing an [[Oku Flower|Oku flower]]]]
Decades before the Odanites’ arrival, the Vatali fought a brief civil war over the imperial succession. Vauzem Anasaye murdered his elder brother, the newly crowned Emperor Essadan, and attempted to unite the nobility under a Sephi-supremacist return to the feudalism of the empire’s early days. His younger sister, Kaltani, overthrew him in turn with the help of Essadan’s supporters and the non-Sephi Quorahi. By the time Odan-Urr arrived in the system, the remnants of the [[Vauzem Dominion]] had been gathering strength for some time.

Seeking to exploit any avenue available in her pursuit of the Odanites, Grand Inquisitor [[Ishanta]] made contact with the Dominion. In return for her support, the Dominion expected to push the Odanites out of their safe haven in the Kiast system. Ishanta had Empress Kaltani poisoned while alone with Alethia. Throwing matters into further confusion, a forged decree appointed Archenskova to be the regent while Kaltani was incapacitated. Many otherwise loyal nobles, already frustrated with the chaos the Odanites had brought to the system, recoiled in disgust that the Empress had named a Human outsider to govern them. When the Dominion’s forces attacked, often in fake OEF uniforms, the [[Vatali Royal Guard]] was hard pressed to repel them.<ref name="Tipping Point" /> Alethia found herself waging a third war, fighting the Collective and the Brotherhood as High Councillor and the Dominion as Regent.

Alethia maintained back channel contact with the Dark Council via the Grand Master’s apprentice—and her predecessor’s sister—[[Morgan B. Sorenn]]. As the Brotherhood prepared to attack the Collective at [[Meridian Prime space station|Meridian Prime]], Alethia seized the opportunity the get the OEF out of the system and out of the ongoing Vatali Civil War.<ref name="RoS0">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sqg2uOSnjBLZavmi7L26FCRJ9Ik5F6Ct/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Prologue]</ref><ref name="A Position of Strength">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QDr7qoUC_i0znvd60kYe5jqbOZVTIuiw/view?usp=sharing A Position of Strength]</ref> The Meridian campaign led to the first open cooperation between Odan-Urr and the Brotherhood since Turel’s ill-fated broadcast over Nancora the preceding year.<ref name="RoS1">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tyhMrswY2pjgBVkDs1jNGsZ9DGgMARBy/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Chapter 1]</ref><ref name="RoS2">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RsQIBVgUdGVvdBu29VMKpxgev4bTWncC/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Chapter 2]</ref>

The Meridian campaign ultimately proved highly successful, resulting in the death of Rath Oligard’s lieutenant, Daggo Mouk, and a major blow to the Collective. Ironically, Odan-Urr’s role as the primary resistance to the Iron Throne had left the wayward Odanites the largest and most potent fighting force among the clans. Odan-Urr’s contributions masked its precarious position and convinced Sorenn and the Dark Council, which had abandoned Darth Pravus’ extremist ideas about purity, that the Odanites were more useful as friends than foes.

Following Mouk’s death, Morgan delivered his research to the Odanites, believing them more trustworthy guardians than the clans. As a show of good faith, the Deputy Grand Master also delivered evidence of Ishanta’s plot.<ref name="RoS3">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XEepayZH0Ar7oU88yuRUKIJgLezjQUSa/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Epilogue]</ref> Alethia finally disclosed the extent of her cooperation with the Sith to the Council and organized a raid to capture Ishanta.<ref name="Breaking Point 1">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mcvCQqSUlkD40sSZFl5zFKgArWD2RUg1/view?usp=sharing Breaking Point, Part 1]</ref> With Kaltani slowly recovering from her poisoning, things appeared to be looking up.

Although the war in Kiast was winding down, Alethia was faced with the monumental task of selling peace with the Sith to Odan-Urr after years of bitter fighting and the genocides on New Tython, Florrum, and elsewhere. Public knowledge that the Inquisitorius had sparked the Vatali Civil War, even against orders, would likely have made peace impossible. Instead, Alethia told the Vatali that the Collective had orchestrated the attack. Although this helped further bind Odan-Urr and the Empire and cleared the way for a treaty with the Iron Throne, Alethia’s right hand, Aura Ta’var, found the deceit unacceptable. When she confronted Alethia about lying to start a war, Archenksova responded bluntly and harshly. The comments ended up being her political downfall; Aura had learned quite a bit from Alethia and recorded the entire conversation. Faced with the possibility of losing influence with the Council entirely, Alethia resigned the High Councillorship and settled into a role as Odan-Urr’s de facto ambassador-at-large.<ref name="Breaking Point 2" />

=== Life After Power (37 – 39 ABY) ===
[[image:AlethiaOephy.jpg|left|200px]]{{Quote|I’m not going to stop you from working for peace. But I’m not going to let you keep lying to the Council, to ''everyone.'' Odan-Urr deserves better than that.|Aurora Ta’var<ref name="Breaking Point 2" />}}

Alethia quietly resigned as High Councillor, bitter that she had been outmaneuvered by her former protege but satisfied that she had brought two of Odan-Urr’s three wars to an end. She took a minor role in the capture of Grand Inquisitor Ishanta and, with Turel, oversaw her execution above New Tython.<ref name="Breaking Point 2">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OcpzL_w16w3R8piUYPzf4q21OO8y-TQJ/view?usp=sharing Breaking Point, Part 2]</ref> Alethia and Ken Iode then travelled on to [[Arx]], where she finalized peace with the Brotherhood and settled into self-imposed exile. Although she attended Council meetings via holo and maintained close ties to the OEF and SeNet, Alethia rarely returned to Kiast. Instead, she focused on rebuilding relationships with the Iron Throne and securing allies among other elements, including the [[Shroud Syndicate]] and Jedi sympathizers in other clans.

When the Brotherhood established ties with the [[Severian Principate]], Alethia found herself drawn to Principate space often, imagining it as an idealized version of the Empire she’d served decades before. Although she and Ken discussed defecting to the Principate, both ultimately decided that continued service to Odan-Urr was more important.

Odan-Urr, meanwhile, settled into a post-war order as they believed the Collective was unwilling or unable to strike at Kiast itself. The situation changed during the [[Fourteenth Great Jedi War|Collective attack on Arx]]. Alethia and Ken joined up with Morgan and Ken’s son, Len, to successfully kill Collective commander Ghafa Ordam and seize control of her ship.<ref name="Vixens">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XFHu5o5gyCGe6n7BySeBjtBE30FDobrOTnqdyaofKU/edit?usp=sharing Silver Fox and the Vixens]</ref> Despite the eventual Brotherhood victory, the war shattered Alethia’s belief in Kiast’s security. The Collective managed to overrun Arx despite the united efforts of all seven clans and the Iron Legion. Perhaps worse still, Grand Master Telaris snatched victory from defeat using a powerful Sith ritual that linked the minds of all combatants, including the Odanites and non-Force-users present.<ref name="GJWXIV">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vrKNBb4HVTU4XC_nCy8ayZRciM4PtYcb/view?usp=sharing Great Jedi War XIV: Chapter 3]</ref> Meanwhile, the Odanites returned home to find that a Quorahi faction, the United Tribes, had allied with the remnants of the Vauzem Dominion. Although they were defeated in [[Vatali Unsettled|the ensuing battle]], the Empress and her family survived only thanks to the Odanite intervention. Convinced that Collective and the Iron Throne were both still existential threats and that the Vatali were incapable of protecting the Odanite flank, Alethia returned to Kiast intent on rebuilding Odan-Urr’s strength.

Resuming active participation on the Council, Alethia took over command of [[Sunrider]] from [[Revak Kur]]. Her initial efforts hunting for potential Odanite involvement in [[Vatali Unsettled|Arcturus’ rebellion]] immediately ruffled Jedi feathers and led to fear of a return to Lotus-era paranoia.<ref name="Coming in from the Cold">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1St6DX8cXvlCmhPE2dZlvYi4tr6QpJ5vf6qmpY2cniEM/edit?usp=sharing Coming in from the Cold]</ref> Archenksova quickly surmised that Sunrider was unsuitable as an independent powerbase and left much of the administration to her subordinates, [[Raziel]] and later [[Ira Ojiman]].

=== Social Climbing (39 ABY – Present) ===

Archenksova’s attempt to reintegrate into Odanite leadership met with limited success. Although Ta’var and her successor as High Councillor, [[Revak Kur]], were willing to work with her, the post-Lotus Odan-Urr was overtly dominated by the Jedi Order and eager to avoid another war. Alethia, who had been instrumental in the wars against Arx and the Collective, found herself superfluous to the peace. Although she maintained some authority as a member of the Council of Urr and leader of Sunrider, Alethia more or less openly regretted her inability to shape Odanite affairs and often conducted business from Pharos while her colleagues remained at the [[Jedi Praxeum|Praxeum]].<ref name="Bonds" />

Alethia’s efforts to further expand her powerbase in the Brotherhood began with Arcona—ironically not with her Lotus-era allies, Atyiru, [[Kordath Bleu|Kordath]], or Satsi Tameike|Satsi, but with her former adversary, [[Marick Tyris]]. The two formed a grudging respect for each other’s capabilities in the years that Marick’s Inquisitorius was a primary threat to Odan-Urr. In the years that followed, they found themselves fighting side-by-side for survival in the jungles of [[Uskil]] and over the skies of [[Rite of Supremacy: Escalation|Dandoran]].<ref name="SARLACC">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/acc/battles/1646 Master Marick Tyris Arconae vs. Colonel Alethia Archenksova]</ref><ref name="RoSE">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DJjSM3fZTa2bfd3Y6E_UvQzvdLLKGJeY5lKeJlRhGME/edit?usp=sharing The Principate’s Bride]</ref> This expanded to working for Marick’s sometimes-ally, Justicar [[Thane Skotos]], alongside members of Vizsla and Taldryan.<ref name="JSTRP">[https://discord.darkjedibrotherhood.com/rp-sessions/gZ3.html JST Business: Wrongful Imprisonment]</ref>

Her expanding network of contacts caught the attention of the Council, leading [[Darth Nehalem]] to name her [[Exarch|Exarchissa]], overseeing the development of what would later become the [[Envoy Corps]]. Following the mysterious withdrawal of [[Ciara Tearnan Rothwell Tarentae]], Alethia took over her position at the top of the [[Shadow Academy]] and the [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences]]. Archenksova’s experience managing allies outside of the Brotherhood made her a useful choice to oversee the Collegium despite her lack of Force sensitivity and inexperience with the Shadow Academy’s traditional purviews of holocrons and Sith alchemy. Alethia led the Collegium and the Academy through the [[Sixteenth Great Jedi War|invasion of the Ethereal Realm]] and the ascension of [[Dacien Victae]] to Grand Master.<ref name="GJW16">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hLdJ1Ajg9mrre2iAKzzVsNH7dIRCj9_y/view GJW XVI - Transcendence: Prologue]</ref>

== Description ==
=== Appearance and Attire ===
Alethia is of average height for a human female, slender, and fine-boned. She has fair, even-toned skin and deep blue eyes. She generally keeps her hair dyed a silver color, but occasionally changes the color as an easy way to make herself less recognizable. Alethia keeps her hair about shoulder-length and wears it pulled back and out of the way when in the field. It's very rare to see her even slightly disheveled.
[[image:AlethiaCivilian.png|right|300px]]
Alethia has an extensive wardrobe. She dresses with purpose, knowing that her appearance is the first act of communication and persuasion with everyone she meets. Her outfits tend towards the regal, evoking both authority and non-threatening femininity. Archenksova favors cool shades of blue, purple, and green, rich fabrics, and cuts that hint at or accentuate her figure rather than blatantly displaying it.

Contrary to joking rumors on Arx, Alethia does not own a cat ear headpiece or pet collar.

=== Speech and Mannerisms ===
Between her upbringing on Coruscant and her education at the Royal Imperial Academy, Alethia’s natural accent is the crisp prestige accent of the core worlds, which was widespread throughout the Imperial military and bureaucracy. While not terribly uncommon among the Brotherhood, Alethia’s accent is pronounced enough to be notable. She can affect a few others passably, but rarely finds the need to do so. Regardless of the accent itself, Archenksova’s voice has a silky, mellifluous quality. She’s conscious of this and sees it as another arrow in her persuasive quiver.

Her movements are graceful and deliberate, the result of a youth spent in dance classes and martial arts training.

=== Personality ===
Alethia’s demeanor is, in most situations, warm and inviting. Surrounded by soldiers, reformed criminals, and detached monks, Alethia has distinguished herself as the gregarious and charming councillor with a knack for etiquette. A warm smile, liberal use of compliments, and an apparently-inexhaustible desire to listen make for good first impressions and fast friends. However, this charm turns icy in situations when it is not useful. When discussing military and intelligence operations or debating with the Council, her cold, calculating Imperial nature shows through. The shifts from charismatic and friendly to steely and surgical and back again can be jarring for those unaccustomed to them.

However, Archenksova has spent the majority of her life luring others into a false sense of security until they provide the means to their own downfall. This has contributed to a certain paranoia and an obsession with understanding those around her to gain power over them. She has difficulty letting her own guard down, even among her relatively trusted friends and allies.

[[Aura Ta'var|Aura]], then known as Blade, initially came to the Sentinel Network’s attention as a Sith vigilante who occasionally killed other Sith. After observing her for a time, Alethia made contact with the newly minted Quaestor of [[House Excidium]]. The two quickly came to an arrangement, and Blade was eager enough to kill whichever monstrous Sith Alethia asked her to kill.<ref name="A New Chapter Begins">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-house-excidium-report-1-a-new-chapter-begins A New Chapter Begins]</ref> The situation was mutually satisfying, however it grew complicated when Jedi Councillor [[V'yr Vorsa]] discovered that Alethia and SeNet were authorizing assassinations.<ref name="Choices" />
Eventually, Vorsa tracked Ta’var down and started her training as a proper Jedi. After fighting alongside the Odanites for the first time,<ref name="Token Real Girl" /> Blade defected to Odan-Urr just in time to escape the burning of [[Judecca]]. Dropping her Sith name, the Zeltron rededicated herself to the Jedi path as Aurora Ta’var.
Despite their wildly different backgrounds and worldviews, Alethia and Aura formed an easy friendship, sharing drinks<ref name="Shore Leave">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FVnK9jnnqFf93BnL5_-FqVO5KX4OfMt1 Shore Leave]</ref> and leisure time on Kiast.<ref name="Shore Leave 2">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dQH6J7PIROHiWFR-bIJHg0sXCjKvTWIs Shore Leave 2]</ref> Now reunited with her daughter Zoe, Aura tried to pull Alethia in as surrogate family.<ref name="Hugs for the Lonely">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i0L5A0nduiY7wCHoj2oOGebwTeu-IP1S Hugs for the Lonely]</ref>

Alethia increasingly relied on Aura as her window into the Force and the Jedi mentality,<ref name="Tipping Point" /> and in return attempted to mold the Zeltron in her own image as a future High Councillor. Ultimately, their differing worldviews came to a head. Aura was outraged when Alethia manipulated the Vatali Empire into declaring war on the Collective by blaming them for the actions of the rogue inquisitor, Ishanta. By secretly recording Alethia’s choice words about her domination of the Council, Aura was able to blackmail Archenksova into resigning and took her place as Odan-Urr’s leader. The relationship remained chilly for several years, despite Aura’s repeated attempts to make amends. However, the two did reconcile to an extent while helping an inquisitor track down a former Odanite who refused to stand down following the peace with the Brotherhood.<ref name="Bonds" />

=== Kenneth Iode ===
[[image:ken.png|left|200px]]
In a final parting shot of romantic meddling, Aurora assigned Ken Iode to serve as Alethia’s pilot and bodyguard during her diplomatic endeavors.<ref name="Breaking Point 2" /> Despite the trying circumstances, the pair quickly bonded. Ken served with distinction as a [[starwars:TIE/IN interceptor|TIE/IN]] pilot in the Imperial Navy, defecting only after discovering that the Empire had built a second Death Star. Ken retained his sense of duty and honor as well as the devotion to order and security that Alethia fought to protect in the ISB. Ken provided a model for life after the Empire just as Alethia found herself with time to contemplate her role in the galaxy for the first time since the destruction of New Tython.

By 38 ABY, the two were openly dating as well as commandeering warships.<ref name="Vixens">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XFHu5o5gyCGe6n7BySeBjtBE30FDobrOTnqdyaofKU/edit?usp=sharing Silver Fox and the Vixens]</ref>

=== Len Iode ===
{{Quote|You know what, I think this is the first mission which has gone perfectly for us. Ever.|Len Iode<ref name="Vixens" />}}

Alethia and Len commissioned into the KUDF within a few months of each other. The Chiss became one of her early friends due, in part, to his relatively benign attitude towards Imperial discipline and values.<ref name="FirstRO">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Q-vDY25O0Yy3hXWECvDv-Ll3dzoNfXGaguf9ESq0fs/edit?usp=sharing Let Freedom Ring]</ref> Len’s father was a former TIE pilot and, as a Chiss orphan raised outside the Ascendancy, he identified with Alethia’s initial outsider status. The two worked together in various configurations during Alethia’s career in JTF Satele Shan, with Iode ultimately serving as her right hand.<ref name="Clouds on the Horizon">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-oh-god-is-it-april-already-qua-report Clouds on the Horizon]</ref> Len remains one of Archenksova’s confidants and supporters, even partaking in some missions despite the awkwardness of Alethia dating his father.<ref name="Vixens">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XFHu5o5gyCGe6n7BySeBjtBE30FDobrOTnqdyaofKU/edit?usp=sharing Silver Fox and the Vixens]</ref>

=== Morgan Sorenn ===
{{Dialogue|Alethia|I like what you’ve done with the place, Morgan.|Morgan|Burnt corpses are so fashionable no matter the decade.|The Battle of Arx<ref name="Vixens" />}}
[[image:morgan_by_olenaminko.jpg|left|200px]]
During the Lotus War, Alethia viewed Morgan—who sided with Pravus against both [[Turel Sorenn|her brother]] and [[V'yr Vorsa|her master]]—with open contempt.<ref name="ArchEnemies">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-satele-shan-aedile-report-arch-enemies Arch Enemies]</ref> The two met briefly during an attempt to rescue captive scientists from the Inquisitorius and Alethia learned that Morgan knowingly tolerated the presence of an Odanite spy in her inner circle.<ref name="Token Real Girl" /> The two kept in occasional contact through clandestine channels as each climbed the hierarchy. Morgan reached out to then-High Councillor Archenksova in the leadup to the Brotherhood attack on Meridian Prime, despite the state of open warfare between their factions.<ref name="RoS1">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tyhMrswY2pjgBVkDs1jNGsZ9DGgMARBy/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Chapter 1]</ref><ref name="RoS2">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RsQIBVgUdGVvdBu29VMKpxgev4bTWncC/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Chapter 2]</ref> The campaign went well, eventually leading to peace and a limited degree of reconciliation between Odan-Urr and the Iron Throne.
<ref name="RoS3">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XEepayZH0Ar7oU88yuRUKIJgLezjQUSa/view?usp=sharing Rite of Supremacy: Epilogue]</ref>

During her diplomatic mission from 37–38 ABY, Alethia leveraged the now-retired Deputy Grand Master’s contacts to forge a relationship with the [[Shroud Syndicate]]. The women, despite their best efforts, eventually became friends and occasionally partners in crime.<ref name="Vixens">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XFHu5o5gyCGe6n7BySeBjtBE30FDobrOTnqdyaofKU/edit?usp=sharing Silver Fox and the Vixens]</ref> Although their relationship still relies heavily on insults and back and forth banter, the pair have come to view each other as trustworthy—or whatever passes for it between a pirate and a spy.

=== Turel Sorenn ===
{{Dialogue|Turel|Do you always wear perfume on stealth missions?|Alethia|Most men never get close enough to notice. Don’t worry. I won’t tell [[V'yr Vorsa|the General]].|The Rising Tides<ref name="Token Real Girl" />}}
[[image:2-Turel-Sorenn.png|left|200px]]
As Clan Odan-Urr’s Proconsul, [[Turel Sorenn|Turel]] was privy to Alethia’s initial debriefing sessions and one of the few Odanites who is aware of the full extent of her career with the Empire. Despite his reservations, Sorenn recognized the woman’s potential and allowed her to climb the ranks within Satele Shan. After the [[Battle of Florrum]] left her superior officer briefly imprisoned, Alethia began to take on a more prominent role with the JTF and developed a hesitant but mutual respect for Turel. The Jedi appointed Alethia the Director of Satele Shan after Mako’s resignation, a decision that would later come back to bite him—Vorsa, his wife, left the Council and Odan-Urr entirely in protest of Alethia’s actions.<ref name="Choices" /> Nevertheless, Turel and Archenksova maintained a cordial enough working relationship throughout his tenure as High Councillor.<ref name="Token Real Girl" />

By the time the Collective struck, Alethia had amassed enough support on the Council to be Turel’s most obvious successor as High Councillor, a situation which Sorenn accepted. After his controversial effort to save the Brotherhood’s civilian population,<ref name="GJW XII Finale">[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NK1y5DeOgSiCHXkutI1Uqkjfys5irXEv GJW XII Finale]</ref> Alethia attempted to manage the situation in a way that would preserve Turel’s seat on the Council while smoothing the way for her own ascension as High Councillor.<ref name="A House Divided" />

When Turel settled into a comfortable semi-retirement, the two met for [[starwars:Dejarik|dejarik]] weekly. Alethia’s more extensive travel has broken this routine, though the pair continue to share the occasional game.

=== Mar Sûl ===
{{quote|I assure you, Yuki, you have never seen me give anyone a longing anything.|Alethia}}
[[image:MarJAT.jpg|left|200px]]
Alethia arrived on New Tython shortly after the [[Order of the Force Ascendant]] turned against the Odanites. [[Mar Sûl]], once the proud defender of [[Seher]], largely turned his back on the Seherob and the Odanites alike after the violent loss of his friends and comrades in the Force Ascendant. However, once she was selected by [[Mako Henymory]] as Aedile of House Satele Shan, Alethia contacted the former Quaestor. Still reeling from her first encounters with Force-users and the post-Imperial galaxy, Archenksova reached out to a fellow outcast to guidance and information on the Jedi and their capabilities.<ref name="The Arch Awakens" /> A few weeks later, when Pravus and his fleet came to destroy New Tython, Mar barely escaped the planet thanks to Alethia’s intervention.<ref name="Darkest Hours" />

The two worked well together, although Alethia’s increasingly prominent role in Odan-Urr’s leadership made such missions infrequent. The pair made another almost impossible escape from the Rakhghoul-infested vessel ''Charon,''<ref name="The Last Voyage of the Charon">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KBhKLyYO-rm45ZNZvyUEgxjPeNJGV5syXASWIrJdCek/edit?usp=sharing The Last Voyage of the Charon]</ref> and Mar became one of Alethia’s favorite escorts and honor guards.<ref name="Satele Shan May 2016 report fiction" /> Despite a strong mutual attraction and Aura’s best efforts, the pair never took the plunge into a romantic relationship. Mar’s relationship with Alethia—and Odan-Urr—soured when Alethia led the Council into renewed peace with the Dark Brotherhood, and the crusader has effectively cut ties with both.

=== Marick Tyris ===
{{quote|Did you two accidently coordinate for a romantic stroll through Uskil?|Walter<ref name="SARLACC" />}}
[[image:Maricknewhs.png|left|200px]]
Marick and Alethia were accomplished foes for years before meeting in person. During the Lotus War, Alethia leaned on her ISB experience to spearhead the counter effort against the Brotherhood’s Inquisitorius, which operated under Marick’s direction. When the Collective derailed the war between Odan-Urr and Arx, the Inquisitorius and the Sentinel Network slowly found their operations aligning.

Following their respective retirements, Archenksova and Tyris occasionally found themselves representing the Odanite and Arconan leadership, including at a review of the disastrous Shadow Academy experiments in Uskil.<ref name="SARLACC" /> The pair worked well together, and the experience being hounded by mastiff phalones let to future cooperation during the Severian Principate’s civil war at Dandoran and in more minor operations.<ref name="RoSE" /><ref name="JSTRP" />

Hello, yes, this is [[dossier:14287|Archenksov]].

== Wiki Type Things ==

My character pages are [[Alethia Archenksova]], [[Vez Hirundo]], [[Iphis Melinoe]], and the ever-neglected [[Teikhos Ta'var]]. Any of those will show off my two main innovations for character pages, which you're welcome to steal for your own use.

=== Reference Lists ===
There's two parts to this. The easy one is just throwing <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> at the bottom of the page. This will automatically generate the list and the note numbers. You can manually adjust how many columns it displays with colwidth: <nowiki>{{reflist|colwidth=30em}}</nowiki>.

Whenever you want to add a new reference, in the spot where you want the note to appear in the main text, you do it like this:

<pre><ref name="The Arch Awakens">[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/reports-satele-shan-aedile-report-the-arch-awakens The Arch Awakens]</ref></pre>

That's an HTML <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag around some text. You use the name argument to name your reference, and then whatever is in between the ref tags is what will show up in the list at the bottom of the page. In this case, it's a link to that old Satele Shan AED report with the display text ''The Arch Awakens''. If you want to cite that same reference again later, you just need the first part:

<pre><ref name="The Arch Awakens"></pre>

The name you use inside the ref tag doesn't display on the page, only whatever you put between the ref tags when you first use that citation.

=== Pronunciation Guides ===
The first trick is to write your character's name in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet International Phonetic Alphabet]. This may be a bit tricky if you're not a language nerd, but you can find somebody who is (hi) and send them a voice message on Discord of you saying your character's name. At that point, you just go over to [https://ipa-reader.com ipa-reader.com], enter the IPA, pick a voice, and press the share button. Then it's just a normal wiki link, with the share link as the URL and the IPA as the link text. Example:

<pre>'''Alethia Thul Archenksova''' ([https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%C9%91%CB%90%CB%88li%CB%90.%CE%B8i%CB%90.a%CB%90%20a%CB%90r.%CB%88t%CA%83enk.s%C9%99%CA%8A.va&voice=Amy /ɑːˈliː.θiː.aː aːr.ˈtʃenk.səʊ.va/])</pre>

==Bio Type Things==

My education is in classics and ancient history. My day job has bounced from high school Latin teacher to cyber threat intelligence analyst, with a brief detour in insider threat. I like birds, spookiness, and putting too much thought and effort into frivolous things. I'm in the part of the U.S. where everyone commutes into DC but lives on dirt roads.

Royal Guard Battlepass

2026-04-22T14:51:13Z

Strix: /* Upgrades */ Added links to prototypes

{{Eras|real}}
The '''Battlepass''' is a quarterly achievement and reward framework designed to recognize members for consistent participation, skill, and creative leadership within the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]]. Members earn points through competitive activity, event organization, and [[Crescents]] earned during each quarter of the year.

== Earning Battlepass Points ==
The following is a breakdown of Battlepass Points (BP) by the method they are earned.
{| class="wikitable"
|+
! Activity
! Points Earned
! Modification to Value
|-
| Clusters of Fire
| 2 BP per cluster
|None
|-
| Competition Organization (Must be a gaming related competition)
| 50 BP per competition organized
| This activity has an earning cap at 100 BP per quarter or 2 competitions organized per quarter.
|-
| Placement in Competitions
|
* 1st place = 40 x Tier Multiplier
* 2nd place = 35 x Tier Multiplier
* 3rd place = 30 x Tier Multiplier
* 4th place = 15 x Tier Multiplier
* 5th place = 10 x Tier Multiplier
* Participation = 5 x Tier Multiplier

|Multipliers:

* [[Crescents#Fourth Level|4th-Level Crescent]] = 1.25x
* [[Crescents#Fifth Level|5th-Level Crescent]] = 1x

|}

== Quarterly Ranking Tiers ==
Rather than ranking only the top 12 of the GMRG rank XII members each quarter; the Battlepass applies to all members regardless of their GMRG ranking. The following Tiers represent the 4 levels of participation

Competition Awards

2026-04-11T15:53:49Z

Strix: Updating to clarify containers

{{Eras|real}}
{{InfoDGM}}

[[Competition Awards]] are given out for placement in any valid Brotherhood competition.

==Crescents==

'''Crescents''' are awarded for placing in competitions. Cast from hollinium in the shape of the [[Ante|dark star]] eclipsing the former Brotherhood homeworld of [[Antei]]. Each Crescent is studded with jewels varying from quartz to diamond, dependent upon its value. Imbued with dark energy, these jewels are believed to be taken from the stores of Sith Lord [[Okemi]]. The most active members of the Brotherhood possess quite a collection of Crescents.

===Crescent Levels===
[[File:CrescentAll.gif|250px|right]]

Crescents come in seven variants, each more prestigious and valuable than the last. From least to greatest value, they are: Quartz, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, Ruby, and Diamond.

===Crescent Awards===

Crescents are awarded automatically when a competition closes. Which crescents are awarded is based on how many participants entered the competition, and which crescent each member gets is based on their placement. For competitions with under ten participants, the top three placements get crescents with emerald, topaz, and quartz stars, respectively. Beginning with ten participants, every additional five entries to the competition adds another crescent level. So at ten participants, the top ''four'' placements get sapphire, emerald, topaz, and quartz starred crescents, respectively. At 25 participants or more, the competition will award the full set of crescents across the top seven finishers.

Competitions that award novae (see below) always award the full set of crescents for fourth through tenth place.

{{CrescentAwardsChart}}

===Crescent Value===

The XP and Credit value of a Crescent is determined by both the Crescent level and the [[Activity Tiers|Activity Tier]] for which it was awarded, as follows.

{{CrescentXPPercentages}}

In practice, that results in the following XP values for crescents. These values are rounded down to the nearest whole number.

{{CrescentXPChart}}
{{CrescentCreditsChart}}

===Crescents for Container Competitions===
The XP and credit value for crescents awarded by container competitions is based on the competitions nested ''directly'' under the container. At closing, the container competition takes the average base_award_xp_value and base_credit_bonus values of all direct children whose creation has been approved by the [[Deputy Grand Master|DGM]]. Base values are equal to (participation xp) and (participation xp * 10) for XP and credits, respectively, for the normal tiers, and for children that are containers this is applied recursively.

This average is then multiplied by the crescent's multiplier, and only then rounded down to an integer value.

==Novae==

'''Novae''' are awarded for exceptional performance in [[vendetta]] level events such as a [[Rite of Supremacy]] or [[Great Jedi War]]. Novae are awarded in three types of Gold, Silver, and Bronze which correspond respectively to the first, second, and third place members in each event. The remaining top ten placements are awarded crescents, beginning with a diamond star for fourth place.

==Seals==

'''Seals''' are awarded for participation and judging of [[Rite of Supremacy|Rites of Supremacy]], [[Independence Games]], and [[Great Jedi War|Great Jedi Wars]], typically in a ratio of one seal per event. Traditionally, a new seal is created for each major [[vendetta]] or competition.

Activity Tiers

2026-04-11T14:42:53Z

Strix: Adding description of Container competitions

{{Eras|real}}
{{InfoDGM}}

Recurring forms of participation are sorted into [[Activity Tiers]] or the purposes of the [[XP Policy]], [[Credit Award Policy]], and other forms of official recognition.

== Definitions ==

Priority activities are manually upgraded to T1 status by the organizers. Only Council members, Society Leaders, and their staff may prioritize activities. Unless a policy specifically refers to Novae-granted competitions, they will be considered T1.

Activities will be considered '''Collaborative''' if multiple members are required to collaborate to achieve participation credits. Activities that do not require multiple members for participation will be considered '''Solo'''.

Activities will be considered '''Brotherhood-Centered''' if they fulfill ''any'' of the following criteria:

* The activity is eligible for [[Cluster of Ice|Clusters of Ice]], [[Cluster of Fire|Clusters of Fire]], or [[Cluster of Graphite|Clusters of Graphite]] per policy.
* The activity is a competition that requires completion of a [[Shadow Academy]] exam.
* The activity is a competition centered around creation of a valid [[CS Guide: Character Creation|Character Sheet]], [[Item Prototype Approval Policy|possession prototype]], [[Item Aspect Approval Policy|item aspect]], a possible ACC Venue, or a DJBWiki article eligible for [[DJBWiki:Featured article|Featured article]] status.
* The activity is a competition testing knowledge of official club or unit fiction or DJBWiki articles.

== Activity Tiers ==

The following five tiers are based on whether activities are Priority, Collaborative, Brotherhood-Centered, or not. In the event that it is unclear which Tier is appropriate, the following authority will make the final determination:

* Fiction, ACC, and Roleplaying: [[Voice]]
* Gaming: [[Fist]]
* Art, graphics, and multimedia: [[Herald]]
* Other: [[Deputy Grand Master]]

For activities that award Clusters, participation and organization credit is awarded for the relevant ''session, competition, match,'' or ''entity creation''. See the table below for some examples.

* Competitions that award [[Novae]]
* Vendetta or clan feud competitions
* Clubwide events

=== Tier 2: Collaborative and Brotherhood-Centered (T2) ===

* [[Roleplaying Handbook|Roleplaying sessions]]
* [[Antei Combat Center|ACC matches]]
* Cooperative writing, art, or multimedia competitions
* Discord-based trivia sessions on a Brotherhood-specific topic

=== Tier 3: Solo and Brotherhood-Centered (T3) ===

Examples of T3 activity include, but are not limited to:

* Solo fiction and graphics competitions
* Content creation competitions (make an item, NPC, location, etc.)
* DJBWiki-based competitions
* Poetry competitions eligible for Clusters of Ice

=== Tier 4: Other Collaborative Activity (T4) ===

T4 activities are '''Collaborative''' but not '''Brotherhood-Centered'''.

Examples of T4 activities include, but are not limited to:

* Discord-based trivia sessions on non-DB topics
* Fantasy sports leagues

=== Tier 5: Other Solo Activity (T5) ===

T5 activities cover anything that awards participation credit but does not meet the criteria for '''Collaborative''' or '''Brotherhood-Centered'''.

Examples of T5 activity include, but are not limited to:

* Jigsaw puzzle competitions
* Spot the Difference competitions
* Memes/humor competitions
* Word Search competitions
* Haiku competitions

== Container Competitions ==

Container competitions do not have an Activity Tier. Instead, when creating a container, the only option presented for tier is "Containers." Containers do not award participation XP or credits but some containers award crescents for placement.

Credit Award Policy

2026-04-09T00:07:06Z

Strix: Removed historical values for tidiness per RGT staff conversation; also internationalized some dates

{{Eras|real}}
{{Regent}}

This [[Credit Award Policy]] outlines all the different ways that a member or unit can earn credits in the possessions system. This policy is approved by the Grand Master and is enforced for integrity by the Dark Council. Deviations from this policy are considered for disciplinary action and review by the Chamber of Justice.

Details below are broken into sections for major categories of salary awarding.

===Rank Credits===
Members will earn credits in two ways, a one-time lump sum of credits on promotion, or as a weekly salary paid out based on their [[rank]].

===Society Credits===
Members are awarded credits when they reach a society rank for the first time, a one-time lump sum of credits. These differ for the four main societies, with supplementary societies having their credit amounts that can equal to but not succeed a main society.

==== Main Societies ====

The four main societies of the Brotherhood consist of the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]], [[Aurora Collegium of Sciences]] (Shadow Academy), [[Inquisitorius]], and [[Shroud Syndicate]].

==== Supplementary Societies ====

Supplementary Societies are minor societies. They can grant some credits, credits equal to a Main Society, or no credits at all. The two supplementary societies in use are:

* [[Envoy Corps|The Envoy Corps]]
* [[Antei Combat Center|The Antei Combat Center]]

These supplementary societies have two separate trophies. Each trophy grants exactly half of the credits of a normal society, requiring full advancement to Trophy Level 12 to attain the maximum amount of credits. There are no credits beyond Trophy Level 12, if there are additional ranks added later as the society has already allocated their total credit amount.

===Clan Credits===
Clans will seed with an initial value per policy. This is considered an initial influx of credits to seed their account, and will then gain credits according to the activities below.

Seeded credits for all Clans when possessions was launched was determined by a base of 400,000,000 credits to earn Clan, plus a bonus of 100,000,000 credits adjusted based on the percentage of the existing Fleet Points of each Clan at the time possessions went live relative to the Clan with the most Fleet points which received the full bonus. If a new Clan is created, the value of this seeded credit total will be based on the 400,000,000 credit number, plus a baseline bonus of credits for each manual credit award to all Clans for major events (listed below).

Vendetta

2026-04-08T20:56:57Z

Strix: Shifting link from Possessions Salary Policy to Credit Award Policy

{{Codex TOC}}
The "'''Art of Vendetta'''" is a codified set of rules designed to govern fair play between Independent Units during [[Dark Brotherhood]] wide competitions. The following rules are strictly enforced throughout

== Part I: The General Directives ==
* The Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master have the authority to declare a Vendetta.
* All Houses and Clans will follow the directives of [[The Council|the Council]] regarding Vendettas.
* All members of the Dark Brotherhood are eligible to participate in a [[Great Jedi War]] or [[Rite of Supremacy]]. Only members of participating Clans may participate in Clan Feuds.
* A Vendetta's rules will be tailored for the individual event. Rules for the event will be published prior to the event's official start.

== Part II: The Forms of Vendetta ==
Vendettas can take the following forms.

* '''[[Great Jedi War]]''' - At this level, Clans will battle for supremacy in the Brotherhood in the form of earning the titles of First Clan, Second Clan, and Third Clan of the Brotherhood.
* '''[[Rite of Supremacy]]''' - At this level, Clans will battle one another or other threats for rewards decided upon by the Council.
* '''Clan Feud''' - At this level, two Clans will directly '''war''' upon one another under the supervision of the Council. Spoils may include the possessions of the other Clan agreed upon upfront or other valuable items determined by the Council.

== Part III: The '''Spoils''' of '''War''' ==
=====Awards for a Great Jedi War=====
* The '''titles of First Clan, Second Clan, and Third Clan of the Brotherhood''' will be awarded to the top placing Clans in overall scores in the Great Jedi War.
* Additional awards presented to the victor of a Great Jedi '''War''' will be decided upon individually by the Council.
* '''[[Novae]]''' are granted to individuals placing first, second, or third in Great Jedi War competitions, along with appropriate credit bonuses for placement and participation based on the [[Credit Award Policy]].
* '''Credits''' will be awarded to Clans based on tailored rules established prior to each War.

=====Awards for a Rite of Supremacy=====
* The awards presented to the victor of a Rite of Supremacy will be decided upon individually by the Council.
* In addition, placing individuals are awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze [[Novae]].
* '''Credits''' will be awarded to Clans based on tailored rules established prior to each Rite of Supremacy.

=====Awards for a Clan Feud=====
* The victorious Clan will earn spoils decided upon by the overseeing Council pursuant to the Clan Feud policy, which may involve wagered possessions.
* In addition, the individuals placing first, second, and third overall across all competitions will earn [[Novae]].
* Clans may wager possessions in the Clan inventory with the approval of the Grand Master.

=====War Heroes=====
For excellence in the field of battle, members can be given special titles for placing in the top three in a major vendetta. First Hero, Second Hero, and Third Hero are the titles awarded, each for their respective vendetta. Clan feuds, while a form of vendetta, are not eligible events for these titles. See the MAA Policies page for more information

== Part IV: Penalties for Violation of the Art of Vendetta ==
All Vendettas conducted in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood take place under the established rules set forth in the [[Covenant]] and [[Rites of Combat]]. The [[Justicar]] is the Chief Judge of Vendetta related disputes, violations, and penalties.

== Part V: Transfers during DB-wide events and Clan Feuds ==
To prevent abuse of the transfer system and to prevent the problem of people moving into clans solely for the purpose of participation in one large event, it is hereby ordered that all inter-clan transfers stop one week prior to any DB-wide event (including the competing clans during a Clan Feud), and continue that way until the event's end.

[[Rogue]] members may still transfer into clans during the transfer-ban-window, and may participate in said event but do not accumulate points for any unit as a rogue, and will not transfer any points earned while a rogue to a Clan.

== Part VI: Clan Feuds ==
Clan Feuds are a type of Vendetta where two to three units war directly upon one another, effectively engaging in a Great Jedi War on a limited scale. These Vendettas have a distinct winning unit, both fictionally and “out of character” from the competitions themselves. Feuds are overseen by the Council, and unlike co-op competitions between units, can only occur a maximum of two times per year per unit. Additionally, as Vendetta competitions, Feuds are considered canon in the Brotherhood timeline.

=== Background ===
Prior to 2007, Clan Feuds were treated as Vendetta level events that resulted in major awards for the winners and consequences for the losers. From 2007-2015 the Clan Feud decreased in prestige as major Great Jedi Wars, Rites of Supremacy, and Independence Games consumed the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's time. Starting in 2016, the Clan Feud will return to club prominence with Vendetta level prestige and rewards granted.

=== Awards ===
Clan Feud competitions begin at Second Level [[Crescents]] and are organized under a parent competition which will track individual achievements via a leaderboard, similar to normal Vendettas.

The parent competition will award Novae to the first, second, and third placements respectively, according to the individual leaderboard. Feuds are considered major competitions, and should reflect this in terms of duration of competition, nature of competitions offered, etc..

In addition, prior to the start of the Feud, the Council may announce additional spoils as going to the winning unit in the form of a custom accessory or weapon, but potentially expanding to other items (from possessions system) in the future.

Units may choose to wager possessions in Feuds, but it is not required. Wagering of possessions may increase the spoils granted by the Council; interested Consuls should discuss options with the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, and Master at Arms if they are interested in wagering possessions.

=== Council Oversight ===
The Council will oversee Feuds. Prior to planning a Feud, interested unit leaders should reach out to the [[Grand Master]], [[Deputy Grand Master]], and [[Master at Arms]] with a timetable for the event to assess if the Council can oversee a feud at that time; the Council reserves the right to postpone a timetable or table the proposal entirely in the event a suitable time slot is not available in the foreseeable future.

Prior to the start of the feud, units must provide a detailed outline of the fiction relating to the Feud background to the Council for canon review, and provide complete competition details to the Council. Furthermore, unit leaders must both agree to a complete scoring system that will be used to determine the winning unit, as well as graders for each competition. Additionally, the Council will assign a co-organizer from the Council to subjective grading competitions to provide final say on placements in those competitions.

=== Clan Transfer Ban ===
All clan feud transfer bans must be requested through the [[Master at Arms]] office no later than two weeks prior to the start of a feud - and the onus is on competing clans to arrange it.

Failure to timely request a transfer ban from the [[Master at Arms]] will result in downgrading the awards for overall individual winners from Novae to Crescents.

Ad Vizsla

2026-04-08T20:56:30Z

Strix: Shifting link from Possessions Salary Policy to Credit Award Policy

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Ad Vizsla}}
Clan [[Vizsla]] was founded upon a singular principle: Credits not Words. To that end, the Clan Title ''Ad Vizsla'' can only be earned through contribution to the clan's coffers. There is no partisanship, no politicking, no promises - only cold, hard credits.

== Requirements ==
Once any active Vizsla member contributes two million credits towards the clan's credit account, they are awarded the title of ''Ad Vizsla'' by the sitting [[Consul]].

The current list of clan credit-earning activities can be found in the [[Credit_Award_Policy#Clan_Credits | Credit Award Policy - Clan Credits]]

== Retention of Title ==

Title holders will retain the right to display it on their dossier and in communications for as long as they are a part of the clan. Retirement to the [[Rogues]] or elevation to the [[Dark Council]] does not strip a holder of the title.

== Revocation of Title ==

Transferring to another clan will result in the removal of the title. Extreme circumstances (on a case-by-case basis) may also result in the removal of the title, but this requires consultation with the [[MAA]].

== Returning Members ==

Any member who leaves Vizsla (except to Rogues/Dark Council as noted above) and then subsequently returns will have their clan credit contribution reset to zero. This is applied equally to previous title-holders as well as non title-holders - each will have to earn a fresh two million credits to (re-) earn the title.

== Current Members ==

== Behind the Scenes ==
The number of two million credits was determined by looking at various member's historical yearly contributions. Extremely productive years saw approximately 1 million clan credits earned by members through a variety of activities, and thus two years of high achieving was determined as a fair, round number that was attainable.

While the principle of the Clan Title (namely that it would be earned by a defined, impartial metric) was set out in the initial formation documents for the creation of Clan Vizsla, the actual name was only decided upon after the first title-holder reached the two million credit mark. The formation document initially suggested the title, "Mando'ad", meaning "Son/Daughter of Mandalore".

Multiple names were bandied about - some humorous ("Vizjizzles"), some serious ("Pre Vizsla") - before ''Ad Vizsla'' was finalized on the day that it was granted to Kenath Zoron.

== Revoked Titles ==
Two members have left the Ad Vizsla since the creation of Clan Vizsla. [Korvyn Elvandar|[Vynn Salm]] was awarded the Clan title after a distinguished career as a member and Consul on 26 October 2023. Vynn forfeited the title upon moving to [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. Socorra Tenebrosa Nhar’qual Erinos earned the title on 1 May 2025. Socorra forfeited the title upon moving to [[Clan Arcona]].

Credit Accounts

Strix: Shifting link from Possessions Salary Policy to Credit Award Policy

{{Eras|real}}
{{Regent}}

The [[Credit Accounts]] page outlines the basic tools available for managing credits in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and what type of information is available to members and units with regards to their credit accounts. The primary goal of his is to give members tools to save towards larger more expensive items while understanding where their credits are coming from and through transparency give the system a high level of integrity. Discrepancies to this information, or simple questions, should be directed to the Regent.

For specific information about how to earn credits, see the [[Credit Award Policy]].

===Account Management===
Accessed via the administration section of the site under "Your Character", then "Credit Accounts", the Credit Accounts link brings up Account Management and provides two types of accounts each with different tools to help you manage your credits depending on the type.

<ul>
<li>'''Spending Account:''' The spending account exists by default and is created when a member or unit is created. Each will have only one account of this type, and it is where all [[Credit Award Policy|credits earned]] are automatically credited, and all purchases are debited. When viewing a store, only the credits in the spending account will show up as available, and only these credits can be spent on items. Credits must be moved from a savings account into the spending account before purchasing items at a store. This account can be renamed with the Rename button next to the account, or the spending account details can be viewed using the View button to look at all individual credits and debits along with other relevant information to the transactions. </li>
<li>'''Savings Account:''' The "+ Create Savings Account" button will start the process to create a savings account, and a member can give this a name of their choosing that helps them identify the account as well as set a percentage of all credits earned to be deposited automatically into the account. Once created it is designated by the Type of Savings on the Account Management page. After created, the name and percentage can be edited later with the Edit button next to the account, a deposit can be made to the account of credits from the spending account, a withdrawal can be made from the savings account to the spending account, or the savings account details can be viewed using the View button to look at all individual debits and credits along with other relevant information to the transactions. </li>
</ul>

===Account Details===
When the View button is clicked for any account, it will bring up a full look at every debit and credit transaction for a specific account, as well as some graphs to track value over time. All purely informative to help a member review and manage their finances.

<ul>
<li>'''Spending credits balance over time:''' Shown only on spending accounts, this is a graph that shows the balance of the spending account considering all debits and credits over time with a variety of zoom levels as well as the ability to download or print the graph. Intended as a tool to help a member or unit review their account balance visually. </li>
<li>'''All-time credits earned:''' Shown only on spending accounts, this is a graph that shows the balance of the spending account considering only credits to the account over time with a variety of zoom levels as well as the ability to download or print the graph. Intended as a tool to help a member or unit to review the total value of all credits ever earned in the possessions system visually. </li>
<li>'''Mutation - Date:''' Shows the exact date and time that a transaction took place against an account.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Description:''' Shows a basic description of the transaction that took place, with information to understand the nature of why the debit or credit took place.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Debit:''' Shows a currency (credits) value of a transaction, if it was a debit against that account reducing the total.</li>
<li>'''Mutation - Credit:''' Shows a currency (credits) value of a transaction, if it was a credit against that account increasing the total. </li>
<li>'''Mutation - Performed by:''' Shows which account initiated a transaction, showing either a member name or notes that it was handled by an Automated Process. </li>
</ul>

===Discrepancies===
Any discrepancies or concerns with anything on the account details screen should be brought to the Regent for response.

===Application===
Setup to be basic, and simple as far as tools are concerned, but in depth with regard to the depth of information provided. The Regent ensures the integrity of the system and performs manual adjustments as necessary to keep everything aligned with intent. With appropriate oversight and consistency, the member experience can be maintained free of bias and concern for all members.

'''Muz Ashen''' is one of the post-[[exodus]] [[Grand Master]]s.

== Character History ==
[[File:Muz6aby.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Padawan Muz Ashen]]The scion of the [[Keibatsu|'''Keibatsu''']] line, a deposed family from the backwater feudal planet of Kyataru, Musashi Daraku '''Keibatsu''' was taken by the Jedi Master [[Eojin Quon-Shen]] at the age of 6 as a padawan. Through his training by the survivor of [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]], Musashi learned the ways of the Force and eventually forgot his true name, parsing it to 'Muz Ashen'. When Eojin introduced his few students with the Jedi Praxium of Luke Skywalker, Muz expanded his training and eventually completed his studies.
Muz had ascended to the knighthood in Eojin's little fringe group of the New Jedi Order, but not without concern from his master, nor without incident. The young Knight had serious difficulty adapting the ascetic ideals that the Jedi had put in place to help self-moderate. Muz seemed less and less willing to keep his emotions in check, feeling that they were a natural response, and as much a part of the Force as anything else. On top of all that, Ashen seemed to be slipping closer and closer to the dark side, calling upon it to accomplish his goals when it seemed that all was lost. His eyes charred black by a Sith beast's death, Muz grew more and more imposing as his abilities grew. With darkened robes, nightmarish eyes, and an almost outright disregard for the rules that were meant to keep emotion locked away, Muz became something of a pariah among Eojin's Jedi, one who they would rather keep close to them so that they could put him down quickly if the need arose.

Several years passed like this, the young knight growing more deeply focused on his own technological work and his own meditations on the Force. Slowly, he became more and more trusted by his own master, [[Eojin Quon-Shen]] who saw through the trappings of darkness and became convinced that he was not a risk.

=== Fall to Darkness ===
{{Quote|We can't kill him, it is not the Jedi way...so we will hide him from the shadow we must fight.|Eojin Quon-Shen, Jedi Master}}
[[File:Muz14aby.jpg|thumb|214px|left|Jedi Knight Muz Ashen]]
The final straw came when Muz's technological experiments crafted a synthetic armorweave fabric that posed a threat to their supremacy. The Eojin and his advisors convened, remembering the events at the '''Keibatsu''' stronghold. They effectively banished him, sending him on an open-ended mission to protect a fabricated planet called Dearanor. When a dark Jedi by the name of Cor An-Jin showed up to destroy the planet and take the valuable resources, Muz was outmatched. Calling upon the dark side to defeat the darksider, Muz saved hundreds of thousands of citizens.

Upon reporting the incident, he was derided for resorting to touching the dark side.

Led to believe that Eojin was a master of the Jedi Council, Muz's disrespect for the Jedi ideal grew exponentially, and he relinquished his sabre, quietly building a homestead on Dearanor. The local government honored Muz with a lavish ceremony and the gift of an ancient sword, the Nagamichi.

But this peace was to be short-lived. Claudius [[Tang'Va]], one of Eojin's apprentices, decided that they could not afford the liability of Muz falling to the dark side, and sent several young Knights loyal to him and his master to extinguish his threat. Facing their sabres, Muz expected to die. The sword he was given had other ideas, however. The sword had been treated alchemically to resist sabre blades and blaster bolts. Muz managed to survive the assault and left Dearanor, heading deep into uncharted places to avoid the New Jedi Order.
{{Quote|Death smiles at you your whole life. All one can do is smile back.|Koji '''Keibatsu'''}}
It was there that Muz first learned of the Dark Brotherhood, serving as a general in the Autocthonian Navy under the High Lord Darrow. Working as a personal bodyguard to the High Lord as well as a trusted advisor, the fallen Jedi found himself a place in the universe, even taking a student, an attractive Nightsister calling herself [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Ashia]]. After she vanished from his sight, Muz felt it was time to move on, having heard of a place rich in learning for the Force, hidden behind the Stygian Caldera, a rumor of a legend called Antei.

Having saved the High Lord's life on more than one occasion, the highly decorated Ashen was gifted with one of the High Lord's own personal ships and an open invitation to return. Muz took his new ship, named it the '[[Fallen Spear]]' in a silent nod to his fall from grace as a Jedi, and set out for Antei.
=== The Brotherhood ===
[[File:Muz24aby.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Dark Jedi Knight Muz Ashen]]Antei marked a new beginning for Muz. Enlisting in the Dark Brotherhood, Muz quickly passed the Shadow Academy's coursework and was assigned to a Sith house, where his abysmal luck with smaller fighters made him more liability than asset. Manesh Sadow traded Muz to the Krath (for what some say was a six pack and a lap dance from Tissaya Argat, an attractive Chiss Quaestor of Marka Ragnos), where Muz flourished.
Assigned to missions with Kali Desdemona, Nekura Manji, Beowulf, and Korras, Muz quickly rose through the ranks of the Brotherhood, successes against all odds leading to his impending knight trials. Muz fought alongside the future Obelisk High Commander, even facing him as an ancient spirit possessed him, a fight that would claim Muz's left arm, but cemented him as a stalwart ally of the House. None of these experiences could have prepared Muz, as he never expected an old wound to be opened.

On a mission during the Independence Games, Manji and Muz fought against a small New Republic force, led by a Jedi. The jedi was one of Eojin Quon-Shen's students, and recognized Ashen as a fallen Knight. After slaying the knight, Muz discovered an encrypted datapad that belonged to his former master.

The datapad laid bare Ashen's lost history. Manji was his brother.
=== The Sixth Great Jedi War ===
The two fought alongside each other under the banners of Marka Ragnos, leading separate armies against the Antarrans. After an architectural expedition uncovered an ancient '''Keibatsu''' holding that revealed treasures as well as a generations old animosity for the Antarrans, the brothers rallied, winning battles left and right against the Antarrans in the Great Jedi War. It was for their services during this war that they were raised to the higher offices of Quaestor and Aedile.

Ashen remained ashamed of his memory loss, remained embarrassed at the weakness of his will that enabled him to be brainwashed out of such things that were so important to him. He refused to take up the '''Keibatsu''' name, believing that he had not yet earned the right to bear it again, that he was unworthy. Muz trained incessantly, building his strength as he prepared for the next inevitable conflict.
=== The Last Krath Rite of Supremacy ===
{{Quote|What, did you want to live forever?|Muz Ashen, leading Ragnosian forces in the Defense of Sadow Palace.}}

When the ancient [[K'hamar'an]] threat resurfaced, the brothers were ready, rallying their house to greatness in what would be later called the Rite of Supremacy. The brothers led their house to unlikely victories, helping to make Clan Naga Sadow the second Clan of the Brotherhood.
[[File:Lion.jpg|thumb|193px|right|symbol of the Lion of Tarthos]]
After the war had died down, and summer boiled the snow from Tarthos, the brothers were faced with ancient magics and old curses. The Stone Lion, a beast known to the '''Keibatsu''' family by myth, only showed up to claim dishonorable kin, to clean the family tree. Muz knew that his reluctance to take up the family name would haunt him, but no one saw this legend as true until it arrived in the flesh.
{{Quote|A bloody foolish thing you did there Ashen. Brave as all frell, but foolish.|Jak Ordo, Ragnosian Warrior}}
Muz hunted the beast outside the walls of the Marka Ragnos Cathedral, and the epic combat that followed would leave Muz with the nickname of 'the [[Lion of Tarthos]]'. Having lost his mechanical arm and saber to the beast, the day was still Muz's. His sense of honor fulfilled and destiny paid, Muz Ashen took back up the banner of the '''Keibatsu''', reclaiming his heritage.

=== Rising Through the Ranks ===
[[File:BottleofSadow.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Bottle of Sadow]]Shortly afterwards, Muz was called upon to serve as Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, leaving his younger brother installed in his place as Quaestor. The Brotherhood called on his expertise and also gave him duties in the Chamber of Justice, as well as a position as praetor to the Herald, where he was tasked with the creation of lightsabers.
Helping Consul Xanos Sadow to garner success in the Obelisk war, Muz's sense of duty to clan grew, even as Antei called for more and more of his attentions.

Finding the Tulok Hord Holocron with Xanos, the pair studied the lightsaber master's teachings very well, creating their own Holocron for general use of the Brotherhood, The [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] with research assistance from [[Macron]]. Muz and Xanos had used the ancient artifact to hone their skills to such points that it became difficult to avoid the endless stream of challenges that came from such skill.
[[File:CWmuz.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Muz, shortly before being named as Herald]]
It was shortly after that when he was coerced into entering the Championship Tournament on Antei by his brother. Muz found himself victorious against great odds, having even been forced to fight the reigning Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood, [[Jac Cotelin]], in a battle that would spin Muz's mind in new madness. Perilously close to losing control of himself and his demons, Muz fought on, managing to emerge triumphant, and named as a [[Antei Combat Center#Roll of Champions|Champion]] of the Combat Center.

Newly named as a Son of Sadow, news came from Antei that the Herald retired, leaving the Grand Master to appoint Muz as the new [[Herald]].

Muz's action as Herald was well-received, the '''Keibatsu''' having generated scores of new lightsabers as he had a new home built for him, deep within his family's ancient territory on Kyataru. Between Kyataru and hunting rare adegan crystals for the Brotherhood, Muz's influence grew. Shell corporations helped broaden the scope of his search, and he took on an apprentice, a half-blood youngling that Manji and he had found on a mission. "Sledge", as the young one preferred to be called, became as Muz's shadow for the first few years of his time in the Brotherhood.

Sensing the true reason for the youngling's affinity for the Force, he tasked him with the retrieval of one of his smugglers as his final Knight Trial, a wily Force sensitive known as 'Axi Zorax'. when Sledge returned with his prey unharmed as directed, the truth of the ties that bound the three together were understood by all. Axi was Ashia Kagan, the Nightsister from Muz's Autoch days, and Sledge was their son, Sanjuro.

Sanjuro felt the pain of abandonment anew, remembering how he was left with monks that knew him or his bloodline not at all, hidden from his father, left behind by his mother. Sanjuro traveled away from the Brotherhood, seeking refuge out in the galaxy, eventually returning to Kyataru and his father's keep, quietly honing his skills in solitude there.

Muz took Ashia under his wing during that time, refreshing the lessons learned so many years ago, indoctrinating her in the ways of the Brotherhood and seeing her past her knight trials. Already a capable warrior due to her Nightsister training, Ashia rose through the ranks in the Brotherhood with ease.
{{Quote|That line has been dead for nearly ten cycles, keep.|Oshima, Kyataran Swordsmith}}
It was only a matter of time before Muz and his brothers raised an army to reclaim their ancestral homelands from those who had usurped them in their absence. After a long deployment of the '''Keibatsu''' and their allies, the Herald made use of clones bought from Kamino, the [[Nihilgenia]], as they forced the usurpers of their family's holdings back out of the territories. The 'Reclamation of Kyataru' lasted nearly three months, the Family returning to their clans and other duties just before the onset of the Seventh Great Jedi War.

=== The Seventh Great Jedi War: The Enemy Within ===
[[File:Muzrobes.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Muz's custom robes]][[File:Muzarmor.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Muz's custom armor]]As tensions mounted between the clans, it became obvious that there was some outside force was driving to divide the Brotherhood. Time proved that there were indeed two Jacs...a cloned Grand Master serving to divide the Brotherhood literally. Muz sided with the Master he believed to be the true one. This proved to be harder than was thought, as his former allies, Xanos Sadow and Kaiann Entar had sided with the other one.
Having been named the Commander of the 'red Jac's' Forces, Muz had to lead armies against brethren during the long conflict, to the eventual siege of the Dark Hall on Antei, where he would face Kaiann Entar in combat.

It was only by the grace of the Entar's armor that he survived the famous saberist's assault. A massive outpouring of rage and hatred enabled the Entar to temporarily incapacitate the Herald, only to be himself knocked into unconsciousness by one of the cloned Grand Masters before their epic duel. After the Cotelins resolved their division, the Entar had absconded with the 'Skin of Fire', a powerful artifact, and Muz was given special dispensation to retrieve the artifact, by any means necessary. It was only two and a half weeks later that a haggard Muz returned triumphant. Rumors abound as to the details of their meeting, but the truth of the matter is that Muz himself doesn't speak of it, and Kaiann has not been seen since.

==== Aftermath of a War ====
[[File:Muz.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Muz Ashen, circa 26 ABY]] Shortly after the end of the war, Jac had left the Iron Throne to his student, [[Aristan Dantes|Lord Dantes]]. Haggard from the years of almost constant warfare, Muz seemed to grow more and more reclusive, spending more time away from court affairs when possible. Still, the regular shipments of sabers and warbanners were delivered by his ship, but fewer and fewer people actually had come into contact with him in person. Rumors flowed that the Herald was not as close to the Iron Throne as he once was.
The more perceptive members noticed the truth. The Herald was rarely aboard the ship when it made its deliveries, and stories began to filter back from the core worlds. Stories of young Jedi being slain in groups, their limbs sabered off and their chests caved in during the times in between the shipments.
{{Quote|Some say he's unnatural, I believe that he's everything that we could become.|Shin'ichi '''Keibatsu'''}}
[[File:Muzclothes.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Muz's normal attire]]The rumors grew even louder when the '''Keibatsu''' disappeared from Brotherhood space, all seeming to vanish into the mists of their homeworld to deal with some insurrection there. When they returned, Shin'Ichi, Muz's most trusted lieutenant, was horribly disfigured, and several more '''Keibatsu''' bore visible scars. None spoke of their experience, but all were visibly shaken.

Summoned rather publicly to the Star Chamber by Lord Dantes, Muz spent a full day with the Dread Lord, for whatever reason, neither would say. Three days later, Dantes made his speech to the clans over the Antei Holonet, drawing the clans outside the shroud to prove their supremacy in a training exercise that would become known as the [[Second Darkness]].

The Rite of Supremacy was a brief and bloody affair, the clans frantically maneuvering to gain the upper hand and be called the First clan of the Brotherhood. During this conflict, many of the Dark Council found themselves strained to keep up with the pace set by the aggressions. In the hours following the training exercise, [[Halcyon Rokir]] resigned his position as [[Shadow Hand]] and left Brotherhood space. In his place, Muz was appointed the new Shadow Hand.

Calling upon his old mentor, Muz convinced the Dark Prophet Kaine Mandaala to resume his reign as Herald, freeing up his time to administer to the Brotherhood more fully, learning under the Dark Lord of the Sith. But it was only a matter of hours before the warning klaxons rang out the unforeseen ambush that was the beginning of the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]].

=== The Eighth Great Jedi War : Incursion ===
[[File:MuzVongSaber.jpg|thumb|305px|right|Melkor's Saber, used by Muz against the [[Alien invaders|invading alien]] threat]]The [[Alien invaders]] struck unerringly, their timing impeccable as they marauded the assembled Brotherhood fleet outside of the Shroud of Antei. Immediately assuming command of the Vae Victus, Muz discovered that the Aliens had also attacked several clan homeworlds simultaneously, with the bulk of their biological fleet running toward them at full steam. Arraying the ships to help beat back the assault was of no use, and Sarin ordered the newly appointed Shadow Hand to cover the clan's jumps to hyperspace.
The Aliens had thought of that. Interdictor mines laced throughout the are ripped ships that attempted the jumps back into realspace, tearing them apart. The VSD Dark Prophet, flagship of Taldryan was crippled and then destroyed, the image enough to make the Bortherhood order a full retreat, running blindly into the shroud.

Muz and the others aboard the Vae Victus were not so lucky. Their shields devastated by the unorthodox weaponry of the Force-devoid alien threat, their flagship deployed some sort of proboscis that tore open the hull of the bridge, breaching the ship and killing almost all of the people on board. Muz himself was captured and placed in the Embrace of Pain, a creature designed by the Alien Shapers to create vast suffering.

Half mad, naked and bleeding, Muz could not understand how the creatures knew so much about the Brotherhood, about him. The Torturing Ahm Crod called him by his titles in mocking tones as they ripped his prosthetic arm from him, spoke of how they would destroy all of the clans, exposing the Force as Heresy to their cruel gods.

As they prepared to sacrifice the Kyataran to their Gods of War, Muz pressed an advantage. [[User:Ayden Dane|Adien Falaut]]'s saber, carefully shielded by his mind from the exploding TIE that the martyr crashed into the Analog's side, ripped through membrane and muscle, shredding through Ahm Crod's head and into his waiting hand. Freedom from the Embrace was cold, and the revenge he would take from the Aliens would keep him warm, even if he never lived to escape it.

Fighting until he waded in the black blood of the Alien invaders, Muz donned the Crab Armor of the slain to help disguise himself and defend against their blows. Finding himself in the center of their ship, Muz confronted their yammosk war coordinator. As his mind struggled to defend itself from the mental emanations, Muz found many of his own barriers removed, allowing his viciousness to shine through, the raw power of the one that called itself Ashen helping him to survive.

As the commander readied to scuttle his own ship, the Alien priest Volnagh appeared, ushering Muz to a coralskipper to save the Krath from the death of the No Peace. Rumors of Alien Heretics who accepted the Force Sensitives as representatives of their gods were used to justify the priest's actions, but as Volnagh had disappeared after Muz was loaded into the Coralskipper, it is unsure if this was the case.

Barely conscious, Sarin and Kaine retrieved the coralskipper, running him to medical where he spent several weeks in a Bacta tank, unaware of the devastating loss of the Brotherhood against the [[Alien invaders]], including the fact that his own son was missing and presumed dead. Even unconscious, Sarin would visit the Shadow hand, using the Force to gleam bits of information from him, and the realization was rather sudden, with Sarin having felt the trauma unlocking the floodgates of power within the '''Keibatsu'''. He was no longer a mere master. Muz was a Sith Lord.
==== Recovery ====
It wasn't but a few short weeks when Muz received a report from one of his contacts deep in the uncharted space. The report told of a lookalike to the Dark lord, a doppelganger that was being carted by strange aliens on a tiny crippled ship. Muz had slain an impostor before, but something had peaked his interest about this one. This one looked quite identical, but, as the report said, looked younger...and had bright violet eyes.

It could only have been Sanjuro, the son he had lost to the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Fall of Orian]].

Muz gathered Ashia up and immediately departed for Kyataran space, a few journeymen stowing away on the Dark Lord's ship, only to be scared from their presence before they arrived at the Kyataran homelands. Waiting at Amahara for the Lord and his wife, the Herald Shikyo, cousin Tsainetomo, and close friend of the family Sildrin joined them with a legion of Nihilgenia, as they set course for Autochthonia.
reaching Autoch Prime, Muz set about his intelligence gathering as his ship underwent minor maintenance. Tracking the Alien ship to an outlying planet, Bescht III, he rallied the family and made groundfall with a legion of Nihilgenia. Finding naught but rubble, they plowed deep into the jungle planet, finding Sanjuro held in the embrace of pain by the survivors of the wreckage.

Laying the Force-devoid aliens to waste and reclaiming his son, Muz quickly returned to the Brotherhood fleet, meeting with Sarin, [[Syn Kaek|Kaek]], [[Kir Katarn|Kir]] and other members of the Dark Council to make preparations for the Brotherhood's return to [[Antei]].

Rallying the clans together to retake Antei was no easy task. Many of the clans thought it was a fool's errand, that the Brotherhood should write off the throneworld as an acceptable loss. Sarin, on the other hand, knew full well the need to secure that which was taken.
=== Ninth Great Jedi War: Unification ===
[[File:Muz31aby.jpg|thumb|204px|left|Muz Ashen, circa 31 ABY]]Rallying well outside the [[Shroud]], the Dark Council's plan was bold. Using the Grand Masters of the Star Chamber to guide the fleet, they would navigate the shroud in hyperspace, so as to take the Aliens by surprise. The overwhelming superiority in tactics and since the incursion was considerable, but any advantage that could be had was necessary. The Clans would follow at a slower pace, picking through the Shroud at regular speed.
Having been forced to deal with clan infighting during the Insurrection, Sarin had made sure that any ground forces used to retake the throneworld would be loyal only to him. Using the Clan's force sensitives (designated as 'foxtrot uniforms' by the armed forces of the Iron Throne) as generals, they would sweep across their holdings and reclaim them.

All of that changed when they arrived at Antei.

The Aliens were dead or dying. Their analogs floated by the Dark Council's war fleet, useless and calm. The message from the surface happened almost immediately, Sarin being hailed directly from his own throne.

Jedi.

Omancor Crask was a wild crusader for his own cause. Having taken up the charge to deal with the Force-devoid alien threat any way he saw fit, he had come across the Brotherhood's occupied system through his spies, and saw fit to sit and wait for the Brotherhood's return, crusading against the Dark Side of the Force as easily as he did against those that were not part of the Force.

Having entrenched his droid forces and loyal apprentices on Antei, Crask was prepared to give the Brotherhood the war that they were thirsting for. Brutal fighting erupted as soon as the Brotherhood forces landed, Captured clan members being dragged before Crask and examined, their faith in the Dark Side tested, challenged, and for some, destroyed forcibly. Converting the Clan's forces resulted in Sarin sending his Shadow hand to the surface to investigate personally.
{{Quote|Old one, try your games on me.|Muz}}
He found the man, crushing [[Raken]] in order to convert him. Testing the old Jedi, Muz knew that any information he could glean from the enounter would be of great use to them in the coming days. The man seemed to be toying with him as he talked, the seeds of doubt hidden in his words as he moved closer to him, in an almost perversely light [[Dun Moch]]. Finally, the realiszation struck him, and Muz had seen enough to know how he had achieved the conversions.
{{Quote|We are believers in a certain path. As are you. We have followed ours here. Our ways are at odds. That is all. But many of our goals are the same. We could have an understanding.|Omancor Crask}}
{{Quote|There '''is''' an understanding, old man. You will take no more of us.|Muz}}
Having discovered his mental prowess, Muz tested the flesh, and found himself for the first time in his life outmatched. The old man flowed through all of the forms seamlessly, using them all as if he had done so for several lifetimes. The onslought of Brotherhood tanks distracted the man, however, and his student, a woman with far less experience, replaced her master in the duel. Muz captured her easily, but too slowly to do anything about Crask himself.

Cracking the woman's mind open in his search for information, he found little of actual use before delivering her to Sarin, escaping the destruction of a garrison by Alien Slayers to deliver the prize intact.

Later, Muz would find that Crask surrendered to Kir and was brought to Sarin. Crask's nature was two-fold as Muz had suspected, and the old Sith's machinations ripped a lightsaber from his still living apprentice's body as he attacked Sarin. The duel would send shockwaves not only across Antei as their ship crashed, but across the Brotherhood as both Sarin's and Crask's bodies were found.

With Sarin's body ruined, Muz was quickly named as his successor and became the Grand Master for the season of change that would follow.

=== Upon the Iron Throne ===
[[File:Muz32aby.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Muz Ashen, circa 32 ABY, as drawn by Orv]]When Sarin's body was found on Antei, Muz was named as the Next Grand master by a quick vote of the Star Chamber and the Dark Council. With the clans having sustained heavy losses in the unpopular war to retake Antei, the Grand Master opened the great Vault beneath the Dark Hall and retrieved several priceless artifacts, holocrons of ancient masters, and handed them out to the clans to help bolster their strength. These new [[Clan Force Powers]] would be jealously guarded by the clans, only allowing those who were within their ranks to learn their skills, stripping the lessons from them if they moved to other clans.
Yet still, a reorganization was needed. Muz issued a proclamation permitting the formation of Independent houses in the Brotherhood once more. [[Raken]], healing slowly from injuries sustained at the hands of Crask, would retire from Praetor to the Grand Master and worked to form his own Independent house, naming it after the long dead Sith Lord [[Revan]]. Many members from already flagging clans chose to join Raken, causing many of the clans to distrust the new house, especially with the rumors of a reborn Darth [[Sarin]] being with the House.

As the infighting and hyper-politicization began to rise again, Muz focused the clans on the planet of [[Salas V]], a world outside the Brotherhood's territories that had been resistant to the expansionist [[Armed Forces of the Iron Throne]]. The Killik-infested planet had been under siege by the Grand Master's forces for months, and required more reinforcement than the Throne could spare. Leading the Clans to Salas V, Muz declared a '''[[Rite of Supremacy]]''', where the clans would fight each other to prove who was superior, and the [[Spoils of War]] would be the right to the planet itself.

the battle was short, but violent, with many dark jedi killed, and more still left unaccounted for, including the Deputy Grand Master [[Jedgar Octavius Paladin|Paladin]]. In the end, the newly formed independent house Revan surprised all of the clans as they used superb tactics to make up for the difference in manpower. The small house managed to best each and every clan that they fought, winning the rights to Salas V as well as making history in the Brotherhood.

The rumors of Sarin's rebirth were not unfounded, the Dread Lord's spirit having found refuge in the body of Rade after Crask had been defeated. Using contacts in the core worlds as well as with his own loyalists in the Brotherhood, Sarin had a clone made of his old body and commissioned a new suit of beskar to be made. It was the armor that gave him away, Muz's own contacts reporting the construction back to him. Tracking down the armor, he found the grand master and asked him to return to Antei with him as his deputy.

=== The Wedge Between ===
Discussion between members of the Dark Council became more and more heated, with the final straw coming when the Sith Fist of the Brotherhood laid out plans to retake the still-besieged Black Pyramid, a site holy to the Obelisk. Fierce fighting broke out between the Triumvirate Library and the Black Pyramid, finally coming to a head when Sarin faced Muz on the plain outside the Triumvirate Library.

Locked in a fierce duel, [[Jac Cotelin]] interrupted the pair of Sith Lords, laying bare what he had discovered: that the Holocrons that the Brotherhood had used to learn new Force Powers had been tainted by a traitor to the Brotherhood. The Jedi Michael Halcyon, thought to have been killed for many years now, had corrupted the holocrons that gave the Orders their own specific powers, causing the natural distrust between the groups to reach a fever pitch.

The fight went to the Obelisk, and the whole war was declared a [[Vendetta]] and the Brotherhood worked to recoup their losses.

The interference of the old enemy reverberated throughout the Brotherhood. Houses and Clans began to dig deeper into their own affairs, seeking to root out any who would have sympathies with the Jedi. These conflicts encompassed much of the unit's time and energy, causing them to turn blind eyes to more important affairs.

Muz set a declaration, offering safe passage for any of the Brethren that were more inclined to the light to a new house under the Jedi [[Ji]]. Called [[House Odan-Urr]] after the ancient Jedi, the house established itself on a backwater planet that they christened [[New Tython]]. Transports left Brotherhood space under protection of the Royal Guard, ferrying the light-siders to their new home.

Several key assassins were engaged, sent after the Jedi Michael Halcyon. The increasingly paranoid Jedi and his new apprentice known only as 'Ollie' managed to elude both capture and death despite overwhelming odds, much to the chagrin of the Dark Council. In frustration, Tarentum moved a fleet to blockade New Tython, preparing to cripple the house of heretics to the Final Way. The arrival of a Dark Council fleet and Orders from the Grand Master to disburse forced the Ancient House's return to Yridia.

The Clans and Houses did not take lightly to the protection of Odan-Urr, and demanded war, retribution against those they called traitor. Muz refused their requests for some time, the Dark Council understanding that there was a deeper plan for this, knowing that there was no love lost between the Jedi and the Grand Master. He was waiting for something.

Finally, when a trophy was stolen from the Fallen Spear, Muz finally discerned at least part of the Jedi Master's plan. He rallied the Brotherhood, preparing them for a campaign against the Jedi on New Tython.

=== The Battle for New Tython ===
[[File:Muz35aby.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Muz Ashen, circa 35 ABY]]The Brotherhood descended upon the planet of New Tython like a swarm, ravaging, destroying everything in their path. Pastoral scenes were turned to dust and mud as the Dark Jedi even struck out at each other in their drive to be the most dominant force.

Michael Halcyon urged the Quaestor Ji to accept his aid, the Mandalorians from House Ordo he had conscripted through the aid of another [[Raidoner|disenfranchised member of the Brotherhood]]. Upon viewing the self-destructive nature of the Clans again, Ji agreed and the Mandalorians swept down, engaging the clans in brutal warfare that they were not expecting.

In a few moments, the predators became prey.

The Dark Council Fleet, held in reserve, jumped into the system, sandwiching the Mandalorian forces between themselves and the Clan fleets attacking New Tython. Muz piloted his own ship, the Fallen Spear, into the battle, trying to draw out the nemesis he knew responsible for the Mandalorians. It didn't take long for Raidoner to take the bait and board Muz's ship, where he questioned him, trying to confirm his understanding of who orchestrated the Bounty Hunter's involvement. Reluctant to respond, Raidoner found himself quickly outmatched by the Dark Lord of the Sith. Despite the man's silence, he knew now that his plan had succeeded. The Jedi House's formation and subsequent attack drew Michael Halcyon out of hiding, where he could finally be rid of him.

Drawn to the surface, Muz made his way to battle, feeling that Michael Halcyon had drawn all the disparate forces he could muster to the defense of the Brotherhood's Jedi house, including his old master, Eojin Quon-Shen. The Justicar stalked the man responsible for his disfigurement as Korras and Shikyo sought out the Mandalorian captain. Dispatching his Deputy, [[Halcyon Taldrya]] to deal with his brother, Muz engaged his old master.

As Eojin lay screaming as he fell to the Dark Side, Michael Halcyon met his end at the end of the Shadow Hand's green lightsaber. The death of the traitor Michael Halcyon marked the end of the war, the signal to the clans sent to retreat, to leave the Odan-Urr to scramble among their dead and their ruins, having been dealt a decisive defeat.

Those who survived wondered why the Dark Lord didn't completely eradicate them, but Ji understood. It was far more cruel to let them know that they were only alive because Muz allowed it. That seed of hope was toxic, and pain would blossom from it as they were left to rot.

====The Cost of Ambition====
Tensions remained high in the brotherhood, the Sith of the Dark Council increasingly more agitated by the fact that a Krath still held the Iron Throne evident in their machinations. Darth Sarin's successor, [[Darth Pravus]], drunken with inherited power, moved with Halcyon to try to wrest control from Muz with the aid of the Justicar, [[Taigikori Aybara]]. Their ploy started with an attempt on the Voice of the Brotherhood's life, with the [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Grand Master's wife]] and [[Shikyo Keibatsu|brother]] managing to save him and retreating to the Dark Hall.

The trap was sprung when Pravus arrived, dueling Muz to a standstill before Muz's greater control of the Force ended the combat abruptly. Taking advantage of Muz's fatigue, Halcyon made an attempt to assassinate his master, as Sith must all do. Halcyon failed in his attempt, and was made to see the repercussions, the costs of his ambition.

=== The Horizon ===
[[File:Muz36aby.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Muz Ashen, circa 36 ABY]]When a plague burned the force sensitivity from several journeymen, Muz ordered the quarantine of the Shadow Academy, watching as the disease seemed to spread from journeymen to equites, the madness that came from the sudden onset and then silencing of power driving those afflicted to assume that the elders were to blame. The response was horrific as clans and houses turned to civil war. Engaging the services of [[Macron]] to investigate was not quick enough, as an unseen remnant fleet assaulted [[Antei]], [[Sepros]], [[Yridia II]], and [[Kapsina]].

Struggling to defend the assault, fractured as they were, many houses tried to reorganize militarily, trying to reintegrate the small cliques of roving force-deprived brethren. One such large group attempted to use Krath rituals to undo their affliction by infecting, and then murdering the Grand Master [[Chi Long]]. When the ritual failed to work, desperation set in, and the Star Chamber recognized that the man responsible was the Dread Lord [[Zoraan]], given form again by another Sith Lord.

Macron's work finally bore fruit, a 'contagious cure' synthesized using the madman's alchemy. Quick deployment allowed the Brotherhood to stem the tide of loss, but not before the enemy fleets were able to use catastrophic weapons on Yridia II and Kapsina. The damage on Kapsina was so thorough that the house Plagueis was feared eradicated.

The Dark Council rallied to Antei, where Zoraan recovered the [[Skin of Fire]] and made for the [[Iron Throne]]. Facing the Dread Lord and his Acolytes in battle, the Dark Council narrowly escaped victorious. With the insane Grand Master dead and his spirit annihilated, the war to reclaim their territories from Brotherhood space began, an arduous campaign that culminated in the capture of Zoraan's flagship, the [[Avenger II]].

===Crusade into Darkness===

Hatred whipped the Brotherhood into a fury, demanding more blood to slake their thirst. Muz would give it to them. No longer content to just hold their own territories from minor skirmishes and wast their strength on each other, Muz made the call for war to retake the Sith Empire of Antiquity for themselves. The assassination attempts on several members of the Dark Council by sleeper cells, and the murder of the Herald [[Orv Dessrx]] by [[Dromund Kaas#Esoteric|Darth Esoteric]] reverberated throughout the brotherhood.

The Brotherhood responded in force, overrunning the planets of the old Sith Empire one by one, eradicating the Forces of the One Sith and whosoever else stood in the way of conquest. It was not a quick campaign, as the planet to planet fighting taxed the clan's forces heavily. As the war droned on and on, the Clans seemed to lose their lust for conquest, taking more and more attacks of opportunity on each other rather than the common enemy. Even as the clans took planet after planet in their [[Dark Crusade]], murmurs began to spread, that there was more to the conquest than what originally was intended.

With Raken stepping away from the throne and [[Pravus]] becoming the [[Shadow Hand]], the rumors grew even stronger. As the Brotherhood neared Korriban, one of the [[The Nephilim|Nephilim]] discovered the Ace up Muz's sleeve. Having accumulated a lifetime's worth of lore and using materials gleaned from the raids in ancient Sith Temples, Muz had recreated Tiamat's rite. After [[Damon Nix|Nix]] reported the finding to [[Jac Cotelin]], the Grand Master rallied Taldryan's fleet and made for Antei, intending to depose Muz. Having already been poisoned against Taldryan and their ways, Muz was prepared with a defense fleet rallied by the loyalist [[Arcona]] forces, led by [[Marick Arconae]]. As the Taldryan fleet took damage from the Arconans, Muz felt another fleet coming to engage. Deciding to test the ritual on [[Antei]] itself, Muz sent the signal to all present to retreat out of range of the rite.

The destruction was magnificent, and Antei burned.

The Taldryan fleet managed to mostly escape, performing a last minute hyperjump on coordinates that came in at the last moment. Facing Esoteric's flagship, the One Sith Lord demanded to discuss terms of surrender with Cotelin. Jac agreed, but in his stead, the [[Justicar]] [[Taigikori Aybara]] and Nix went instead. Taigikori was decapitated by the Sith Lord, and a communication went out across brotherhood channels from the One Sith, offering them a chance to join with them rather than be subjected to yet another [[Eleventh Great Jedi War|civil war]].

{{Quote|Brothers fight with each other, but they rally against those who would hurt them. But not our Brotherhood. The clans deceive each other, kill each other instead of those who would see us all dead. They make deals and ally with enemies just so that they can kill their brothers. There is another way, one that I have been teaching.|Muz}}
{{Quote|That was always our mission. But you know that the way of the Sith is...|Nix}}
{{Quote|...wasteful. Without a common enemy to fight, the Brotherhood returns to the only way they know. Infighting, backbiting. It weakens us. The way some want us.|Muz}}
The war continued on the sands of Korriban, loyalists from Arcona, Naga Sadow and Tarentum facing an alliance of rebels from Taldryan, Odan-Urr and Scholae Palatinae as well as Plagueis forces that joined with the One Sith. Each raced to find the remaining pieces of the puzzle, the requisite location for the final rite of immortality, some to seize it, some to stop the others from finding it. In the end, Cotelin and Ashen found each other there. As they dueled, motives laid themselves bare. Muz was willing to do anything to keep the brotherhood unified, even if it meant becoming the common enemy that they united to fight. Cotelin was dying, the wound from brutal sith magic tearing his essence apart with each passing day. Jac powered down his sabers, realizing that Muz had no desire to harm the Brotherhood by killing him, that the whole point of drawing Jac to the ritual was to heal him of that wound. Tarax arrived too late to understand all of this, and saw what appeared to be Cotelin bested by Ashen. Screaming and diving at Muz with [[Ferran]]'s Sword 'Revelation', he was dispatched by the Grand Master, his death triggering the Rite against their wishes.

With Cotelin healed but Tarax dead, Taldryan had more reason to hate Muz. With the division running deep from yet another civil war, Muz resigned himself to the understanding that the Sith were incapable of uniting the way that he was trying to teach. Freed from the burdens of the Iron Throne, Muz returned to Sadow space. As Pravus ascended to the Throne, he focused on his own plans, pulling the clans from the One Sith Worlds unceremoniously. Declaring the One Sith defeated, he ignored their threat as easily as he ignored the Clans' cries for recompense. Officially, defeated, but that was nowhere near the truth, considering that not a single member of their faction was present during the final battles on Korriban. Too concerned with the same petty squabling that Muz had railed against for years, what should have been a coup de grace for the One Sith and a moment of unifying triumph for the Brotherhood had turned into yet another Civil War... a civil war that the remaining lords of the One Sith were more than willing to sit back and watch.

=== "Retirement" ===
Reconnecting with allies and family in the Ancient Empire of Clan Naga Sadow, Muz contemplated his next moves. The One Sith would recover, rally more to their cause, replace their losses, and eventually come for the Brotherhood again. For the architects of their loss of empire. Newly freed from obligation to the petty politics of the council, of the clans, empowered by the death throes of a dark star and two worlds full of countless dead, Muz would not let that happen.

The remaining lords of the One Sith, scattered and bruised already by the Brotherhood’s Crusade were unprepared for the Keibatsu. He had rallied his brothers, and they tore their support structures apart, absorbing their holdings and their finances bit by bit until they had to come up for air from their hiding spaces. And when they did, they were there, waiting. Growing in power as they mercilessly and thanklessly eradicated the reamins of the One Sith, only a few of the Keibatsu and their closest allies bothered to return to the Brotherhood.

Keeping a low profile for years afterwards, Muz eventually returned to the Clan holdings with vigor. Feeling the need to support the clan and return it to splendor and strength, rumors swirled as to his true motivations. Concerns that the Lord of the Krath had seen something truly terrible coming in the future seemed to counter allegations that he had designs on consolidating power. Muz himself eventually rebuilt the Catedral at Tarthos again, transforming a ruined temple into a more modernized research facility and museum that could serve as a base of operations for the house as he worked with investors to rebuild [[Kar Alabrek]]. Using contacts and allies built up during his time on the Dark Council, Muz would lead the clan on an expedition to map out the Sadow Temple on Yavin IV for reproduction on Sepros, to Korriban to investigate strange happenings that the Civil War had precluded him from investigating years ago, and to Athiss to delve into the alchemical laboratory and tomb of Vodal Kressh. Taking his place as an advisor and eventually returning to the Clan Summit, Muz continued to help reforge the clan.

== Personality and Traits ==

=== Physical ===
Muz is physically tall for a Kyataran, like the rest of his bloodline. Built somewhat on the slender side, he has built a lot more muscle in his years with the constant struggle of the Brotherhood. Constant dueling with some of the most pre-eminent saberists in the brotherhood helps the Lord maintain his physicality and serves as only part of his training program. Known to many as 'the scholar of the saber', the training has paid off, going undefeated in the Combat Centre. With high cheekbones and neatly trimmed facial hair, Muz's face is distinctive even before one can see the black, featureless eyes that give the Lord a predatory and cruel visage. His dark brown hair is kept very long in the old Kyataran custom, reaching to his belt.
Having lost his left arm from the bicep down on a mission early in his brotherhood career, Muz has replaced the limb with a prosthetic of his own making, a reminder of the man's genius with technology that allowed him to take the position of Herald. Detailed and complex, the limb is crafted with all the care that he used in maing his own lightsabers. He normally has his robes crafted to leave the arm exposed, the armor plating said to be made of Cortosis or ultrachrome. [[File:Muzarm.jpg|thumb|219px|right|Muz's Prosthetic Arm]]

=== Personality ===
While many Sith Lords are known for utter ruthlessness and detachment, Muz follows another path. Many know the Dark Lord's family members, all powerful Dark Jedi in their own right, many having served on the Dark Council themselves. The Dark Lord does not eschew attachment as the Jedi do, having seen first-hand the aescetic order's refusal to form attachments as a weakness that is counterintuitive to his view of the Force. Emotions, Muz believes, are integral to the Force, and to avoid feelings would be to stifle his understanding of it. While many dark jedi refuse to acknowledge feelings of love for their family or others for fear of it being considered a weakness, Muz thinks of it instead as a strength.

Generally, Muz is calm and rational, cordial to those who show the same, and brutal to those who show no respect. Known for going to the clan holdings and talking with new members to help them with their studies of the Force, Muz is one of the less aloof Grand Masters that history has seen. His Krath nature encourages the Lord to delve deeply and seek perfect knowledge of certain things, specifically dueling, the force, and mechanical fabrication, from his prosthetic arm and [[Solari]]'s body to weapons like the '''Black Lion''' blaster and the scores of lightsabers he has built for the brotherhood, and he can talk for hours on these subjects, provided that there is an interested and engaged audience.

Madness lies below the surface, though. The conditions of the Keibatsu's training at Eojin's hands had fractured his psyche and caused him to bury the immoral necessities into a separate personality, a demonic figure calling itself '[[Ashen]]'. An embodiment of the man's rage and hatred without remorse, the personality would seize control of the body in stressful situations that required such actions that Muz's own psyche would not find permissible. Life in the Brotherhood led this to a constant struggle between the man and his own demon, finally crystallizing on the Alien Ship 'No Peace', when Muz found himself able to completely control this shard of his deviant psychology. Using the name 'Ashen' as his Darth name upon ascending to the Throne, Muz used the power that the name had, the stories of his madness to keep fear in the minds of those who would attack him.
=== Weapons ===
[[File:3714-war.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Some of the sabers that Muz has been known to carry into battle]]The lightsabers of Lord Keibatsu have been the subject of debate among saber scholars and combat officianados of the Brotherhood. Carrying no less than four distinct sabers at any given point in time, and featuring prominently in archives about specific forms of combat, some would consider it a fascinating honor to watch the man in action.

Muz does not name his sabers, viewing them as tools of the trade more than sentient objects. He will refer to them by the crystals within, or in the case of a trophy, by the name of the enemy who once held it.

His most commonly used blades include:

* "Dark Amethyst" - An alchemically infused weapon of ultrachrome and other alloys, featuring a sub-hilt window, comforatble leather grip and fine etched flames. The deep purple blade has a mysterious power source, said to have somehow been imbued with the soul of a Shard that Solari was tasked to provide. The blade runs exceptionally hot, wreathing itself in steam as it vaporizes the moisture in the air around it.
* "Bloodshine" - A curved hilt with an alchemically enhanced ultrachrome chassis and rich dyed leather grip, with finely etched flames to match his "Dark Amethyst" weapon. This saber bears a quantum saber mechanism and projects a 'bloodshine' red blade with an unusual lightning effect near the emitter for the first third of the blade, casting sparks and bolts of electricity, suggesting a Sorian crystal used within.
* "Golden Fire" - One of the Grand Master's Golden Lightsabers, this weapon bears all the hallmarks of the weapons that he has made for himself, to include supple leather grips, fine etchwork and a subhilt window, but plated in rare alchemically fortified electrum. The blade is golden, but swells and burns, causing sparks to occassionally flare from the blade.
* "Golden Shadow" - The second of Darth Ashen's golden lightsabers, this curved hilt is a golden-hued twin of his 'Bloodshine' saber, but with a far more aggressive and sharp emitter. The blade burns dark with a golden corona and lighting seeming to stream across the entire length of the blade in a pattern that Ashen will sometimes refer to as a 'hamon' in his native Kyataran.
* "Eojin" - The blade of his original Jedi Master, this silvery hilt has dark and recessed elements and acid etched runes along one side. This weapon bears the Jedi Master's original crystal, the weapon taken from the Jedi near the end of the Tenth Great Jedi War on New Tython. The blade erupts from the weapon a deep crimson hue, but reverts to its original turquoise as it reaches the midsection and tip, the crystal reacting to the Jedi's wrath as he faced his former student to bleed partially.
* "Vamros" - An antique trophy taken from Lord Vamros of the One Sith in the years after GJWXI, this unassuming and dark hilt has significant wear and age to it. The hilt itself is able to adjust length via a series of hidden twist-lock mechanisms, the flanged hilt and extending spike usable for close quarters. The blade is generated by a rare Ghostfire crystal, creating a dim silvery blade that is rendered nearly silent by other mechanisms within the weapon. Closer inspection shows Krath runes and symbols corresponding to the ancient Mecrosa Order of assassins in ways that make no sense to current academic understanding.

=== Properties ===
•''[[Kuroshin]] Castle'' - The ancestral ruins of the '''Keibatsu''' family were retrofit, a great deal of underground construction utilized to make this ancient and seemingly abandoned keep a completely modernized fortress. Including many rooms for the various '''Keibatsu''' family members as well as training facilities and barracks for the [[Nihilgenia]], Kuroshin often serves as Muz's primary residence, and it is here where his trophy room of many fallen foes' sabers is kept.
* ''Amahara Castle'' - As Lord of the '''Keibatsu''', the ruling family of Kyataru, Muz has control of Amahara Castle in Inazawa, the capital building for Shuuyoujo. The Castle grounds is a large estate in the middle of a rapidly modernizing city, with private shipyards and a large training facility. Having been fortified over the years, the '''Keibatsu''' have modernized the castle itself using less obtrusive technologies, even going so far as to redesign the defense batteries to look like more traditional Kyataran cannon.

•''The [[Fallen Spear]]'' - This Autochthonian prototype pocket carrier was gifted to Muz for services rendered to one of their dignitaries. Muz often is aboard the ship, and spends more nights in his luxurious quarters here than not, due to his duties keeping him in motion a great deal of the time. Commodore [[Darius Blackwind]] commands the ship for Muz, and a legion of [[Nihilgenia]] help man it. A number of Autoch innovations keep this ship uniquely ideal for Muz's uses. Muz's quarters aboard the ''Fallen Spear'' are known to have a wall with a great many lightsaber trophies, said to be the basis for many of the lord's designs for lightsabers for the Brotherhood's armory. Also carried aboard the Fallen Spear is the ''[[Kenshin]]'', a salvaged and upgraded Actis ETA-2 Interceptor from the Clone Wars.

•''Ebon Flame'' - Over the years since joining the Brotherhood, Muz has taken steps to increase his contacts and wealth. Having capitalized on many of unique circumstances has led him to control a corporation named the 'Ebon Flame'. This parent corporation is directly responsible for many sub-companies, which generally act independently. The overarching corporation is rather small, having only a few dozen employees, largely accountants and clerical staff. Offices are maintained in Coruscant, Demilla City on Ralltiir, and a new building is under construction in Inazawa on Kyataru.

* ''EbonArms'' - The largest of the companies that fall under the banner of Ebon Flame is EbonArms. Having been started during Muz's time in the Autochthonian Navy as a black market smuggling operation, the company went more legitimate with time. Having used Autoch and Core World Weapons designers to create more effective weaponry, the company became known for high-end equipment. While much of the EbonArms products sit in the gun cases of wealthy sportsmen, several private security forces are outfitted with the very expensive and exclusive weapons. The Keibatsu's armed force, the [[Nihilgenia]] have been known to be equipped with EbonArms material. Headquartered near Demilla City on Ralltiir, with offices in Darrow on Autoch and in Inazawa on [[Kyataru]].

* ''Gilmarin Jewelers'' - Having access to many Adegan Mines is a necessity for any Herald. However, only the finest and purest crystals are usable as focusing crystals in lightsabers. The crystals that do not make this cut are heavily prized for jewelry by high society and the elite. Selling the chaff gems to certain discreet dealers, Muz did a great deal of business with this company. Gilmarin Jewelry was purchased by Muz from Rog Gilmarin's widow, after her husband had died of old age. The Company had two stores, their original storefront and gem cutting estate on Ralltiir, and a more high-end showroom in a Coruscanti high-rise penthouse, which also included two additional floors of living space, which Muz had secured and retains as private apartments for himself and his agents on Coruscant.

== DJB Facts ==
Muz has served in many posts throughout the Brotherhood and in his home clan, Naga Sadow. His influence in guiding new policies and helping the clan to grow can be seen still, the result of a dynamic teaming with [[Xanos Zorrixor]], with whom he worked quite well. Serving as Proconsul of Naga Sadow, Left Hand of Justice as well as Praetor to the Herald, Muz was instrumental in many projects, including the implementation of the [[Warbanner]] Project. Throughout his consequential reign as [[Herald]], Muz has been responsible for many of the improvements that are used by the membership. Most notable were the use of new [[Robes]], considerably more [[lightsaber]] options, and a raft of custom graphics for dossiers and club use. The Original [[Hand to Hand Combat Guide]] and [[Lightsaber Combat Guide]] and creation of better options with an all-new Lightsaber Creation Interface. From Herald, Muz was named as [[Deputy Grand Master]] and finally [[Grand Master]].

As Grand Master, Muz created and ran several vendetta event with an ongoing and overarching plotline, using new and novel concepts for competition not seen before in the Brotherhood, such as [[Disorder]], an event pitting the orders against each other, regardless of their clans. Overseeing the first new [[Revan|top-level unit]] in the Brotherhood in many years, he also introduced a [[Clan Odan-Urr|Jedi Clan]] into the brotherhood in an effort to broaden the club's scope, as well as using their introduction as a plot point in the [[Tenth Great Jedi War]]. Even with a record-breaking length of term, not all of Muz's plans were released under his reign, such as the ability for members to play [[Loyalist (order)|Non]]-[[Mercenary (order)|Force]] Sensitives and [[Credit Award Policy|Possessions]].
[[File:Muzbanner.gif|thumb|203px|left|Muz's warbanner]]

== Trivia ==
* The name 'Muz Ashen' is an obvious corruption of Musashi, the famed samurai and author of the 'Book of Five Rings'. The famed samurai was known for his use of two katana at once, much as Muz uses two lightsabers.
* The Character of Muz Ashen was developed as a character for a Fanfilm project that never saw production. The character was at that time frame, still a member of the New Jedi Order.
* Muz is said to reside in [[Kuroshin]] Castle on [[Kyataru]]. The name 'Kuroshin' means 'Dark Heart' in Japanese.
* Muz's eyes were purple before being charred black by the Enhanced Tu'Kata he fought. On rare occasions, one can see the purple in Muz's eyes, even now, but only when he uses healing powers.
* Muz is the only person to have beaten a reigning Grand Master, [[Jac Cotelin]], in the Antei Combat Center. He did this when he was merely a Pontifex.
* [[Korras]] served as Muz's mentor for a few weeks as he finished his Knight Trials, but there are only four people that Muz has ever called 'Master': [[Eojin Quon-Shen]], [[Jac Cotelin]], [[Sarin]], and [[Kaine Mandaala]].
* Like many Krath, Muz was once considered one of the Marked of the Wanderer, but has moved away from those teachings under the tutelage of Grand Master [[Sarin]].
* While Muz spent 8 years (in character) as Grand Master, he never once sat on the Iron Throne, believing it to be somehow cursed.
* Muz, following Kaine's lead, signs his notes with [[File:Muz.png|30px]]

==== Supplementary Societies ====

Supplementary Societies are minor societies. They can grant some credits, credits equal to a Main Society, or no credits at all. The two supplementary societies in use are:

* [[Envoy Corps|The Envoy Corps]]
* [[Antei Combat Center|The Antei Combat Center]]

These supplementary societies have two separate trophies. Each trophy grants exactly half of the credits of a normal society, requiring full advancement to Trophy Level 12 to attain the maximum amount of credits. There are no credits beyond Trophy Level 12, if there are additional ranks added later as the society has already allocated their total credit amount.

===Clan Credits===
Clans will seed with an initial value per policy. This is considered an initial influx of credits to seed their account, and will then gain credits according to the activities below.

Seeded credits for all Clans when possessions was launched was determined by a base of 400,000,000 credits to earn Clan, plus a bonus of 100,000,000 credits adjusted based on the percentage of the existing Fleet Points of each Clan at the time possessions went live relative to the Clan with the most Fleet points which received the full bonus. If a new Clan is created, the value of this seeded credit total will be based on the 400,000,000 credit number, plus a baseline bonus of credits for each manual credit award to all Clans for major events (listed below).
