'''Tyren Atema''' was the second son of two Jedi, born in 1. year BBY, five years before the destruction of the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. He was once a thug, bounty hunter and businessman with shady goals and loyalties, but in his later years he had devoted his life fully to the teachings of the Force. He had never claimed his true place in the world; his mind torn between his tortured and anger-filled past and his revelation that there is something more important than his own ego and lust for power – the Force itself. Tyren Atema died in 37 ABY, during the Dark Crusade against the One Sith

==True past of Tyren Atema==
== Early life  ==
Tyren is the quiet type of man. He is calm most of the time, rational in times of pressure yet even he has a dark side that haunts him. He is a divided person, with two very different entities living in him, reason and madness.


[[Image:Atemawarbannergi0.gif|thumb|100px|left|Banner of the Atema Family]]
===  Dantooine 19 BBY-3 ABY  ===
===The Atema Family===
==== The Atema family ====
{{Quote|This is our home. This is the new beginning we dreamt of for a long time.|Ashira Atema}}


Years after the creation of the Empire, in a remote place on planet Dantooine, two Jedi survived the Imperial slaughter. One with the name of Jerreth Atema, a former Jedi Knight and a survivor of “Order 66” and Ashira Islana, another former Jedi.  
Two Jedi knights, Jerreth Atema and Ashira Islana survived the „Order 66“ massacre and the insuing Great Jedi Purge.
Years after the Emperor’s rise they met on a transport ship en route to planet Dantooine where supposedly a small community of Jedi hid from the Emperor’s wrath.


The two Jedi met in a Transport Freighter during the Jedi Purge, they were on route to Dantooine, where they thought a small order of Jedi still survived. However, when they arrived on the planet all they found as a destroyed enclave, with nothing left but only a few survivors. Holding onto themselves, the two Jedi fell in love as they rebuild the enclave into a cavern nearby, with the help of a CorSec agent who fled the Empire as well. Calling it ‘The Sanctuary’, the newly built conclave meant to be a haven to all who wished to flee from the Empire.
When they came to Dantooine they found the enclave in ruins, dozens of Jedi slaughtered with but a few survivors. In the midst of the carnage they stood tall and held on to each other for strength.  


After half a year of rebuilding the two Jedi married, and so the Atema family was born. They were one of the first Jedi to marry during the Jedi Purge, and became a symbol of hope to the people of Dantooine, hope that the Imperial reign will come to an end soon.
Eventually falling in love they wowed to rebuild the enclave and open its doors to other refugees and Jedi. With the help of a CorSec agent, a Republic loyalist and Jedi admirer, who helped the enclave with supplies and machinery, they rebuilt it in some of the many caverns on the planet. It was meant to be a safe haven for those that fled the Empire thus it was given a humble name, “Sanctuary”.  


The Sanctuary itself existed a better part of the Emperors reign. The CorSec agent, who aided the two Jedi in rebuilding the conclave, was affiliated with the Old Republic and thus the Order of the Jedi.
After Sanctuary’s completion in the year 5 BBY Jerreth and Ashira married becoming a beacon of light and hope for the people in Sanctuary.


===Birth of twins===
===Birth of the twins ====
{{Quote|We are the last of the Jedi and our sons will carry that legacy...|Jerreth Atema, to his wife Ashira}}


After the two Jedi gotten married Ashira got pregnant, and nine months later gave birth to twins. Two boys who each had their own feats from the day they were born. The names of the boys were Ylith Atema and Tyren Atema.
Not long after the wedding, Ashira became pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to two twin boys. Their coming to the galaxy was not only joyful for their parents but also for the whole Sanctuary.  


The two boys, the older Ylith and the younger Tyren, were born in a peaceful environment their parents and the other residents created. Though they were twins the two boys had differences their parents felt all too well. While Tyren was a quiet boy, Ylith was always the active one, always on adventure and looking for clues to find old Jedi relics even when he was a small boy.
Each boy was unique in the Force and promised to be great Jedi - their names, Ylith and Tyren Atema.


Tyren was also the one more adaptive in matters of the Force, easily bending the force to his will. Small powers but for his age quite remarkable. Unlike his older brother, Tyren was not interested in ancient Jedi Relics and was more busy with the future. So the young boy often wondered what would happen, deep within thought. His parents believed that he would be a master in foresight someday.
The two grew up in a peaceful and Force active society that Sanctuary offered.


===Brothers in blood===
===Brothers undivided  ====
{{Quote|Protect your brother, as he protects you.|Jerreth Atema, to Tyren}}


Ylith and Tyren both grew up in a force active environment, though the Empire was always around the corner, the Sanctuary remained hidden. The two brothers became best friends and added to each other what the other lacked.  
Ylith was older, very active, always in search of adventure and danger.
Tyren, the younger, was, however, very different from his older brother. He learned meditation at a very early age and thus was more active in views of the Force. He stood by his father mostly, staying in silence while Jerreth spoke of great Jedi deeds and the philosophy of good.


Even though Ylith was a good boy, their parents did sense a natural Dark Side aura around him, which worried them. They hoped to someday make him a Jedi and a peon of good. Ylith is very strong built while Tyren was better in minor force abilities and dexterous feats.
Very early in his life Tyren utilized his Force abilities to do minor tricks, like lifting small objects or creating sparks at will. That gave birth to a sort of jealousy in his brother’s eyes, but even that difference couldn’t keep them apart. The boys became best friends, inseparable, one adding to the other what the other did not have.  
Tyren was very spiritual for his age. Already meditating and questioning life in general. His intellect was his strong side, and his everlasting will to show off the small force powers he had made Ylith angry most of the time.
But in the end, the two boys could go against any hardship as long as they worked together.


Ylith was mostly the one getting into trouble, Tyren was the one who always made the trouble happen for his twin brother. Though Tyren was not so strong physically as his twin, his street smarts and agility often saved him from getting into trouble and letting his older brother handle it for him.
Their parents thought them the meaning of good and evil and how to evade evil as best they can. Though they tried to understand this they could not, so they continued their childish, sometimes evil games. Jerreth and Ashira both sensed the boys slight affinity toward the Dark Side of the Force. This worried them greatly since they wished to teach their children the ways of the Jedi.


===Past Divided===
Ylith was the one that mostly got into trouble, Tyren however was the troublemaker.
While he loved to make trouble happen to his older brother he was always there to help him out if the situation got out of hand.


They eventually lived there for 4 years. In the same year, three years after the Battle of Yavin, the Empire discovered the Sanctuary and launched a small assault on the former conclave, destroying it. The families from the sanctuary, who were drawn to the Sanctuary to flee from the Empire over the years, tried to escape in an old transport that brought the Jedi to the planets years ago, but the force of Tie-fighters was too much for the battered ship.  
Tyren’s intellect was his strong side. He dodged trouble rather than faced it. He had brains and his brother had brawns so they both grew up side by side, helping one another in times of need.
The ship was destroyed not long after leaving Dantooine’s atmosphere. The Atema family got separated in the outbreak of paranoia and panic that was unleashed by the ships residents upon its imminent destruction.
=== Coruscant 3 ABY – 23 ABY ===
====  A family in ruins  ====
{{Quote|Mom? Why are you crying?|Tyren, seeing his mother in tears after the raid}}


Ylith ended up with his father, Tyren with the mother. They escaped in different escape pods. When all seemed fine and well an explosion of one of the other pods ruptured their hope. Thinking that the other part of the family was killed in the blast the Atemas lost hope for a family reunion ever to occur. Ylith and his father eventually ended at the planet of Byss, while Tyren ended up on the planet Coruscant with his mother to both start separate lives, eventually forgetting their past.
Three years into the new era, after the devastating defeat of the Empire at Yavin, four years after the twins’ birth, Sanctuary was attacked. The Empire raided the enclave killing anyone they could, with no sufficient weapons to protect themselves the people of Sanctuary ran.


===Coruscant===
They tried to escape the planet on the same transport that brought Jerreth and Ashira to it years ago. Though the ship was sturdy and well built it could not stand the brutal attack fire from imperial TIE-fighters. It blew up just outside Dantooine’s atmosphere leaving a few escape pods in space. Hundreds died in the raid.


The most unobvious place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that beeing near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the last place to look for Jedi would be Coruscant. She was dead wrong and she paid it with her life.
The Atema lived, however, but became separated in the chaos. Ylith was with his father while Ashira took Tyren.  
One night a squad of stormtroopers came into Ashiras sanctuary killing her in her sleep. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had ran of that night to his friends house against the wishes of his mother. That childish decision saved his life. He was raised by Jatarra Dumash for the rest of his life on Coruscant. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace, and thus Tyren lived his life on.
The pod floated through space for days, left there by the Empire as a cruel fate – a slow death in the void. Some were taken by the Imperials, some however by pirates and raiders. But their fate would not be death, a smuggler hauled the pod Ashira and Tyren were in hopes of finding quick money. Upon finding the woman and her young son, he pulled out his blaster with an aim to kill. Ashira pulled out her saber and quickly dispatched the threat. They roamed the galaxy in the smuggler’s shipsearch of a place to hide.


===Eden===
They finally hid on Coruscant on one of the lower levels.


When Tyren was a teenager Jatarra died of a disease that swept the slums like a plague. Tyren fled of world to a planet on the edges of the Deep Core, Eden. There he lived a solitary life, expanding his view of the Force. He never learned to properly use it but still he had a knack for the unnatural.
====  Life in the slums ====
One day Tyren climbed a steep cliff in search of food. Finding a birds nest he took the eggs, unbeknownst of the nest’s owner. When the bird returned it attacked Tyren so suddenly that it left him out of balance and grip. Tyren fell hitting the ground with such force tat he was left unconscious instantly.
[[File:391px-Anakin Skywalker Episode 1 Concept Art.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tyren on Coruscant]]
When he woke up he could remember none of his true past but instead thought himself to be older and wiser. The loneliness of his out-of-the-way home left him mad. One day he went to the nearest village he could find in search of company but stories of a "madman from the mountains" spread like a plague throughout the land. This angered Tyren very, he killed every villager he could find therefore turning to the Dark path forever. He went on, killing every being he could find, until one day a Rogue Jedi who hid on Byss came to find Tyren and end his senseless onslaught of innocents. They dueled and Tyren fought bravely and hard but the Jedi was too much. At the moment Tyren thought he would see his death another option flew through his mind, he focused on the Force and with great effort and energy struck the Jedi with a pure lightning bolt. The Jedi was unprepared for the attack and had no way to defend himself, he was dead. Although the shear enormity of Force that he used fatigued him greatly. Tyren somehow found his way to a village, took a mount and headed off. Days later he found an old Rebel base and an X-wing in it. He and flew out of Eden. Somewhere in hyperspace he passed out only to wake up in a bacta tank on [[The Sword's Sheath]], a Gladius controlled battle station in the [[Yridia system]]. There he was accepted, he was helped and there he swore to help the Dark Brotherhood destroy the Jedi.
{{Quote|I never knew Coruscant’s underbelly had so many people. They will never find us here...|Ashira, arriving on Coruscant}}


==History of Voron Tess==
The worst place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that being near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the place had billions of inhabitants and finding one particular person was improbable. She was wrong.
Voron Tess is Tyren`s alter ego, his dark side, the madness within him.  


===Birth===
In the year 6 ABY, after many years of hiding, they were finally found. A squad of storm troopers came into Ashira's and took her away never to be seen or heard from again. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had run of against his mother’s knowledge to a friend’s home for a sleepover. Homeless, young and helpless he was taken in by Jatarra Dumash. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace. She watched over him and saw him grow up into a stunning young boy, albeit with extraordinary powers. She first found out about his Force manipulating abilities 8 years later, when Tyren was 14. He had spent a lot of his time in his room doing whatever it was that boys do in puberty, but that time she found him sitting still on his bead and several objects from his room floating around him. Tyren was startled and begged the woman not to tell anyone. When she asked why he did not show her before, he said that was the first time he tried. She promised to keep it a secret if he promised never to do it again.
Voron Tess isn’t a Force spirit who claimed a young man’s body, quite the contrary. He was created in Tyrens mind the day Tyren fell of the cliff in Eden. On that faithful day Tyren`s mind went upside-down and created an illusionary past and an entity inside Tyren. This entity will later be known as Voron Tess.
Time passed and the Empire fell, leaving a weak republic in it wake. In the year 23 ABY, when Tyren was 24 years old, he could no longer deny or ignore his heritage and his powers. He said farewell to Jatarra, and promised to return once he had it all figured out. Having spent all his savings on a ticket, he took a commercial flight on a transport ship towards the Outer rim and Yavin, the academy of Jedi he had heard about. Even before they reached their destination, the transport was attacked by an unknown enemy. Tyren escaped with several others in life pods. As his life pod escaped the transport exploded throwing Tyren around and knocking him unconscious. He woke up three days later on the Sword's Sheath, in the Yridia system.
Tyren`s mind created the past of Voron Tess from the stories he had heard about the Jedi and their destruction so fictionally Voron was born 34 BBY on Coruscant in a family of politicians. His father worked as a diplomat and as a negotiator for the Clone armies later during the Clone Wars, his mother was a shield maiden of Senator Lexi Dio, a Loyalist Senator close to the office of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who represented the world of Uyter. As a baby Voron was taken away from home into the Jedi Temple. There he trained all his youth to the ways of the Force and the life of a Jedi. He was thought great discipline and patience yet the effects of his youth and the naive mind he had left him confused by the teaching of the Dark Side.


===The time of fall===
== History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood  ==
During the final days of the Republic, when Vader destroyed the Temple, Voron was away on the field, fighting the War in the Outer Rim on planet Murkhana in the search for General Greivous. Fortunately for him he wasn’t in the midst of battle when Palpatine executed Order 66 so he was able to defeat the troopers who turned against him. Left alone on the planet and quite sure the troops turned against his master  Saras Loorne and the other Jedi Voron tried to find ways to escape. Somehow he managed to take a transport from a low-guarded troop facility and escape the planet. Voron in himself was always on the border between Light and Dark, and the day would come when one of the two would prevail.
===  Tarentum 23 ABY-24 ABY ===
==== Gladius ====
{{Quote|Welcome to [[The Sword's Sheath]]| Frosty Romanae}}


===Adulthood===
During his stay in [[Gladius]], Tyren met the reality of his position. he would submit to their rule and do as he is told, or he would be dumped back into space. he had little choice.  
After the Great Jedi Purge he hid on the planet Eden. After 34 years the loneliness of his home drove him near-mad.
Tyren was assigned to [[Dox Romanae]], then a Dark Jedi Knight, who's brutal regime of training left Tyren half-broken and struggling. even though he endured the punishments and training, once Tyren became a Guardian he left [[Tarentum]] and the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] for a year. This period in his life is now called "The Pilgrimage"
In this time Tyren, who created Voron in his mind was already on Eden and already he was amnesic. He had forgotten his true past and embraced a past that never existed. Further history of Voron Tess is the same as Tyren’s.


===Anger and madness===
=== The Pilgrimage  25 ABY ===
Voron is Tyren`s personification of anger, hatred. Voron "takes over" Tyren only when the Dark Jedi becomes mad with anger, so much that he cannot control the urge. On his pilgrimage he learned to control this mad anger to a certain extent to prevent Voron from claiming his mind.
{{Quote|Our way is not of light or of dark, these are but terms by which small men make excuses for their desires. We are balance.|The old man}}


==History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood==
During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren traveled the galaxy from the wasted of Tatooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomir. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and that did not please his masters. For that he left, to change.
Not long into his journey Tyren found the Old man on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of a religion that preached the legend of a "great dragon", lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Old man praised this ancient deity and predicted Tyren would too.
Tyren found the Old man's religion very similar to the teaching of the Unifying force, endorsed by some Jedi in the golden years of the Republic. The "great dragon" was clearly a reference to the Force as a whole – a dominant power in the universe. He stayed with the Old man and learned from his wisdom till his death. With the Old man’s death, Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and returned to the Brotherhood.


===Tarentum===
=== Plagueis  26 ABY ===
{{Quote|You will die at my side if you do not press your training, boy.|Salth Khan commenting Tyren's skills}}


====Gladius====
He did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to [[House Exar Kun]] of [[Clan Plagueis]]. In hope of a new beginning and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request. Tyren spent the next year in Clan Plagueis under the brutal regime of his master’s teachings. Khan was a Sith through-and-through and Tyren could never really relate to his lessons. The teachings of the Old man still rang in his ears. He transferred to Clan Naga Sadow, leaving Plagueis behind.


[[Image:Tar-logo.jpg|thumb|100px|left]]
===  Naga Sadow  26 ABY-29 ABY===
{{Quote|It was right of you to come here. You have much potential.|Draken}}
==== Disciple of Kressh ====
When he arrived in House Marka Ragnos he was given a responsibility of leading one of the battleteams. Commanding Ravana Squadron gave Tyren a new insight on the functioning of the Brotherhood. The new experience only made him stronger in his resolve to advance through the ranks.
Soon after he was appointed to Aedile of House Ludo Kressh along with Ylith, who he discovered later, was his long lost twin brother.


"Welcome to [[The Sword's Sheath]]!" [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/dossier.asp?ID=4017 Frosty Romanae] said in his low Deshade voice.
====  Quest for knowledge  ====
After the initial doubt in Ylith’s claim to be his twin, Tyren subjected to a DNA test that confirmed it. In the wake of their shocking revelation the two brothers went on a quest to discover their forgotten and hidden past. They roamed the galaxy for clues on where to look, the search eventually led them to Dantooine where they found the shattered Sanctuary. In the rubble they found a holocron that recorded the marriage of Jerreth and Ashira.
Amongst the data they found a holovid of their birth, of them playing in the garden, a crest of the Atemas and the vile attack on the Sanctuary.


"Thank you!" Tyren replied.
Now the two brothers understood their past. They placed their family’s banner near the ruins, in remembrance of their parents. Although Jerreth and Ashira were Jedi and their sons Sith their will and wish to save their children was cause enough to remember them.


"You will be assigned your own quarters, where you can meditate and explore your potential and a flight deck for your X-wing where you can inspect your craft whenever you wish."
The two agreed they would bare their true names and never bring dishonor to it.


"Fine by me."
====  Battle of Antei and the Orian Invasion  ====
{{Quote|Your lightsaber, Dark Jedi Knight...|Quaestor Ashura Isradia}}


"You are one of us now, one of our brothers and as such we will help you achieve your highest potential. Welcome to [[Gladius]] of [[Tarentum]], brother."
As many of his brothers had been, Tyren was on the front lines on Antei. Being a Jedi Hunter that he was he had little chance against the overwhelming power of the Aliens, yet he fought bravely and was awarded his own lightsaber. He watched many of his comrades die and even his brother, Ylith, a titan, fell to the Alien weapons. Both brothers pulled out with their heads. Soon afterward he was elected the new Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Battleteam.


During his stay in [[Gladius]], Tyren met a lot of people who were willing to help him and he has flourished. There he was accepted and he accepted in turn. In his short, but useful stay in Tarentum, Tyren was assigned to [http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/dossier.asp?ID=4179 Dox Romanae], than a Dark Jedi Knight, who thought Tyren a lot about the Brotherhood and its ways. Even more did Zin learn from Dox`s brother Frosty who, from the very first day, helped Tyren advance through the ranks. Once Tyren became a Guardian he left [[Tarentum]] and the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]] for a year. This period in his life is called "The Pilgrimage"
After their defeat at Antei the Sadowites returned to Orian where they found an unexpected enemy, the True Brotherhood who had taken over the system. He led his Battleteam on a few special missions for the Summit which came out with critical information for the campaign.
Soon enough the Orian Invasion had ended with the destruction of the True Brotherhood and the capture or death of its members.
Determined to bring back order to the now scattered ranks of Marka Ragnos, Tyren took up the position of the Commander of Ravana Squadron again. Bringing the Journeymen to their ultimate goal and strengthening Naga Sadows forces became his new objective.


=== The Pilgrimage ===
====  Changes...  ====
In the long months after the Incursion, Tyren had changed drastically.
The fall of Antei and the later Invasion on Orian had a significant effect on him, mentally. His dark personality had become less dormant appearing more often than usual. Tyren did not know what caused this, the Force-devoid Aliens or the death of so many of his comrades. Seeing all that death, Tyren virtually became less and less interested in important things, more and more walking into a kind of indifferent state of mind that didn't care for life or death. He started smoking a lot and found a secret pleasure in it.


[[Image:Pilgirmage.jpg|thumb|100px|left]]
Tyren's only true interest was the Herald office and his family and Clan. He worked as the Praetor to the Herald and assisted him and the staff in everything they needed.  


During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren Zin traveled the galaxy in search of "another self". From the wasted of Tattooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomyr he traveled to find his new self. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and for that he left, to change. So he did. Not long into his journey Tyren found an old Pilgrim, The Dragon pilgrim they called him, on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of his order. He told Tyren that long ago there was a legend of a great dragon, lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Dragon monks praised this ancient deity. They were not evil, nor were they good, they tended to stay in the balance, attack only if threatened, defend when needed, never to look at the petty affairs of little people, never to engage in someone else's doings. Tyren found what he was looking for, a new beginning. He stayed with the old man and learned from his wisdom. For twelve months he learned, drawing every single word from the old man, soon the day would come when he would show his potential.
====  A new friendship  ====
As a final test of what he learned, Tyren was to defeat a Kryatt dragon, a race of giant lizards that lived on the planet. Tyren meditated for two full days, gathering his strength for the upcoming ordeal, finally he was ready. The battle lasted, what for Tyren seemed an eternity, but in the end he succeeded in his goal, the lizard was exhausted. With the last string of strength Tyren took his katana blade jumped high above the lizards head and pierced the dragons skull silencing it forever. "Ryuujin", The Dragon, The Dragon Pilgrim, that’s the name he obtained after his battle. He stayed with the old man until his end. With the old mans death Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and finding this inner peace, a new self, a new name he returned to the Brotherhood.
A week after his brother took Tyren's old position as the leader of the Night Hawks, an unfamiliar woman walked into his office on Tarthos. The woman was [[Imperial|Jade Atema]], his brothers fiancée.  


=== The return of the Dragon ===
They talked for hours about her life and his, about Ylith's and her meeting and Tyren began to like the woman. But something was wrong; he sensed she was different, like him. He sensed she had her darker side chained and enclosed inside her, frequently letting it out.
====Plagueis====


[[Image:Cp-logo.jpg|thumb|100px|left]]
====  Nephew and Uncle  ====
Tyren stood, patiently, with Ylith as his son was born. [[Aragan Atema]], a beautiful half-Valheru boy. Tyren became an uncle. He loved his nephew and would gladly protect him with his life should the need occur, since Ylith had a lot of enemies in his former Clans.
Along with Aragan the [[Atema]] found a new relative, one that they didn't, even in their wildest dreams, expect. [[Kharon Daragon]] discovered he was Tyren's and Ylith's uncle being their fathers half-brother. Fate would have it that they found eachouther in the same place.


When returning to the Brotherhood, Ryuujin did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to [[House Exar Kun]] of [[Clan Plagueis]]. In hopes of a new beginning and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request and took Tyren under his wing. Hoping to learn more from his new master Ryuujin accepted and thus became one of the brothers again....
====  Battle of Telos  ====
{{Quote|Remember what we used to say?"....."Jackpot!|Tyren and Ylith}}


====Revelations====
In 28 ABY the summit of Naga Sadow issued an immediate plan to destroy an Alien world ship, [[Domain Amnan]], that had entered the Telos system, the jugular of Naga Sadow's supply routes. A plan, under the command of Darth Vexatus and Master Caerick, the Consul, was put into action and the whole suite of Equites and journeymen of the Clan joined in battle on board the living moon.


While looking for a training room on Antei Tyren came by his old Seargent and mentor, Ylith, or Draken how he’s called now. He asked Draken to help him with the nightmares he’s been having hoping that maybe Draken, being very old could answer what the dreams meant. In the nightmares Tyren saw a woman, two twin boys playing in a yard and divided in times of war.
During their many battles in the belly of the beast, Tyren fought alongside his brother Ylith and his wife Jade along with their apprentices, [[Sarak Shai]] and Zaxen, including his own apprentice, Scuslem.
Though Draken didnt know anything about such a thing, Ylith's memories did. Told as a story often by his foster family, Ylith has heard the same story over and over again in his youth, knowing it was something he wasn't meant to forget.


Both Draken and Tyren investigated this occurrence and even underwent a DNA test to see if they were family. The DNA of both Ylith and Tyren matched perfectly, even so perfectly that they were considered twin brothers.
In a battle against the Alien priests, Tyren lost his left eye, one of the creatures having pricked it out of its socket.  


Tyren first had trouble believing this story. Since Ylith was considered years younger than Tyren. But the DNA test showed that in fact, Tyren was younger than Ylith and in search for answers, memories of the tragic accident on Eden unfolded into Tyren's mind.
====  Proditio  ====
After the Alien attack, Ylith had been away from the Clan for some time before returning as... another person, Draken. His interaction with the Force-devoid Aliens changed him, he was less interested in his family and more in destroying the Aliens and gaining power. He had, in Tyren's eyes, betrayed the Atema by leaving his wife, Jade, and his newly born son, Aragan.  Ylith's relationship with [[Xathia]] didn't help with the situation. The situation escalated when Ylith tried to kill Jade and Aragan. It was by Tyren's help that they escaped the Marakith Skyhook and evaded death.


====Quest for knowledge====
Ylith left the clan never to return. In the few instances they met, the two nearly avoided bloodshed.


Both Dark Jedi embraced this fact and started their quest to find out the true history of their youth, they ended their search on the planet Dantooine, where they found an old Jedi Holocron, recording the first Jedi Marriage during the Jedi Purge, showing that it belonged to the Atema family.
===  Synergy 29 ABY ===
The year was 29 ABY and the war against the [[Alien invaders|Aliens]] was at its height. Yet, some profited from this.  


Then the holocron showed the two boys playing, seeing the image both Dark Jedi started to remember their hidden and forgotten past. The screen shifted and the attack was shown, as the two Sith now remembered clearly, they knew now that they were split up and their past with them.
Tyren formed a Company for mining and construction called "Synergy". He situated the headquarters on the planet Khalim, near the Omwat system in the Mid Rim. He saw the future rid of the extra-galactic Aliens and a galaxy full of opportunity. The company was small, employing around 5000 employees: engineers, officers, personnel and the majority of these were miners.


Both Ylith and Tyren reconstructed the Atema family crest and placed the banner near the ruins of the Sanctuary, to remember their parents, even if they were Jedi. The two boys became Sith, but they would never dishonor the Atema family.
To create his company and finance its infrastructure, Tyren acquired a solid sum of credits from various financial loans, extortions, money laundering, etc.


==Markings==
The company was divided into 3 sections:
* Mining
* Military force
* Construction and engineering


=== The Dragon tattoo ===
Miners were mostly slaves he acquired from the Hutts or enslaved villagers.
Military force operatives were free jacks and people he acquired from various crime lords he killed. The Engineers he acquired the same way as the Military.


[[Image:Tattoo.jpg|thumb|left|Ryuujin`s Dragon tattoo]]
===  Arcona 29 ABY ===


Covering his whole back, neck to hips, and his arms and legs is a tattoo of a dragon, representing much-less the same thing as the banner, the dragon spirit and the serenity of the soul.
Tyren left Naga Sadow some time after Ylith. He was tired of the manipulatory politics the leadership had brought upon the Clan. He looked for a new Clan to call home, and so he found one...Arcona. He followed his former apprentice Vorion who had been elected Aedile of House Galeres.
It was drawn by the Elder Dragon pilgrim via ancient methods. Various plants give nectar that can be used as paint. This "paint" is sucked in by the skin and stays there forever. It cannot be washed away only medically removed with the skin.


After failing in his role as Quaestor of Qel-Droma he pulled back, into the background for a while. Only when word of Draken, his brother, came to him did he come out of the shadows. Finally the time was right for the two brothers to face of...and end their rivalry once and for all.


====  Terminus  ====
{{Quote|Dear brother, when will you finally learn that you are weaker than you ever were? That is Draken's gift to you...|Tyren Atema, mocking Draken}}


It was a warm day on Shi as the brothers faced each other on the very place Draken used to rule his kingdom, the King's palace.


They had been chasing each other for weeks since Tyren came out of hiding. As would be expected from a Valheru, Draken lead his host's brother to his homworld, for the final, concluding duel that would determine the future of the Atema. Either one, or both would fall, but there would be blood, and they knew it.


The battle was a fierce one, like two opposite poles pushing and pulling against each other, each knowing the others weaknesses. Finally, Draken, the superior fighter gain the upper hand, smothering Tyren to the ground breaking the Krath's hold on his saber. As Draken pulled his brother off the ground he said: "Any last requests?". The only response was a smile on Tyren's face and a stream of blood and spit from his mouth. Draken's disorientation gave Tyren a chance, and he used it. Mustering the Force to his will he enhanced his strength and hit Draken's nose with his brow. The Sith tumbled back even more confused only to recover as Tyren bull rushed him over the high fence. Tyren dangled in the air, holding to a loose piece of metal as he saw his brother disappear into the mist, ten stories below. A single tear fell down his cheek as he damned the demon Draken who had corupted his brother so.


====  Sworn to the Shadows  ====
{{Quote|And we are they.|Shadesworn}}


In the year 30 ABY just before the great conflict and the liberation of Antei, Tyren was called into a shady, well organized group of loyal Arconan elites. The Shadesworn were born as the pinnacle of Arcona`s war effort. Their mission would be to prepare the clan for a long awaited mission, the liberation of their home system, Dajorra.


==Possesions==
Tyren`s role, as always, was one of a covert nature. He was to organize sleeper cells of commandos from the Synergy military branch and deploy them in every ship of the fleet months prior to the start of the operation. These cells would then upon their activation, place charges on vital systems on the ship, temporarily disabling communication, propulsion and defenses thus spreading utter chaos throughout the Arconan fleet.
[[Image:6463-warbanner.gif|right|100px|thumb|Tyren`s banner]]
=== The banner ===


On the warbanner Ryuujin has in the Brotherhood the dragon figure represents the Great dragon, the text is written in a forgotten tongue:
Once the operation started and Arcona was flung into chaos, the Shadesworn assumed the role of controlling the ships and stealing of the artifacts in the Arconan vault.
"Fear the Great Dragon. Keeper of The balance. Creator of all."
While his comrades broke into the vault and took control of most of the fleet, Tyren was left alone facing two Equites of higher caliber, [[Rho Ozrei d'Tana]] and [[Arcturus Gadeskin Xyler]]. Tyren, surprisingly, proved to be a match to both Equites with his mastery of the art of Soresu.
The Herald`s logo in the background represents his loyalty to the Herald.


=== "Ryuujin noroi" ===
As the clan began to realize what was going on so did the momentum of the operation subside and the Shadesworn retreated to the Maw Cluster where they would reveal their plan to their comrades. When Vorion, Shadesworn`s leader under Mejas Doto's iron fist, called forth the leaders of the Clan to a meeting they reluctantly came under heavy guard.


[[Image:Ryuujinnoroi.jpg|thumb|left|Ryuujin`s katana]]
It was there and then that the Shadesworn revealed the whole plot to the leaders of the Houses and their other comrades. The Maw led to Dajorra.


The Ryuujin noroi is a katana sword created by Tyren himself on his Pilgrimage, it has ancient runes inscribed on the blade that write "Spirit of a dragon". It was alchemically treated by his teacher, the elder Dragon Pilgrim, so that the runes glow a feint yellow at all times. It also has the ability to withstand high pressure and breaking force like rocks or other metallic objects. Against a lightsaber it is, a most weapons, useless. It is an elegant weapon of choice. It represents the warrior in every soul. For Ryuujin its something more, it is a bridge to his soul, to his inner self. In it’s reflections he can see the battle inside him swirl and with its help he can remain at peace in any moment.
=== Later life 30 ABY - 36 ABY ===
(The name means: Dragon curse)


==== Exile and Return ====


For four years, Tyren ran his company from Khalim. His work drove him to new heights and the company flourished. That is until the board of directors became greedy. They wanted Tyren out so they devised a plan. They would hire an assassin to kill him on his own yacht-ship, Jewel of the desert. A crude and ultimetly inefficient method. Tyren killed the assassin but revealed his Dark Jedi nature in the process. Having everything on record, the board decided to change their approach. They knew the Republic security forces searched for any lead or clue to Tyren's criminal doings. They sold the information to the security force for a hefty sum.


The secuity forces ambushed Tyren while he was on a business trip in the Core. He killed every one of the officers sent to arrest him and fled the sector. A Core-wide headhunt was issued, with several Jedi at the lead. He fled into Hutt space for two years, evading the "heat". He faced off the jedi several times but every time he managed to escape. His business was over and his future as anything but a Dark Jedi as well. At least that's what he thought. After the whole thing calmed down and he was sure no one was following him anymore, he returned to Naga Sadow in hopes of finding some much needed respite, but all he found was more politics. He would follow the Clan and see where the future took him.


=== T-65 X-wing ===
==== Unifying Force ====
[[Image:X_Wing.jpg|thumb|left|Ryuujin`s X-wing]]


Tyren acquired his X-wing before he joined the Brotherhood. He stole it from a Rebel base. The X-Wing also had an R2 unit attached to it when it was stolen.
In early 36 ABY, just before his return to Naga Sadow, he discovered a curious [[Xilaren Bastra's holojournal|holojournal]] on a remote planet called Tar Morden. It described the philosophy of the Unifying force in great detail and it left Tyren perplexed; he had found the very teachings the Old man from his past taught him. He had come full circle. He would hide his revelations and musings from the clan and continue researching the philosophy in secret.
Later on Tyren colored it almost jet black, added better engines, a better hull, new lasers and an improved Shield generator. The ship holds scars of many dogfights and bears the imprints of many ships that were destroyed by its owner.

==== Attack on Orian ====


=== Ryuujinshuukyou ===
The surprise attack on Orian was unexpected and caught the Clan completely off guard. Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae exited hyperspace and immediately began their invasion. Their aim was to probe to the Dark Council that they were ready for "Clan status". Clearly they were not. Scholae Palatinae betrayed Plagueis, hoping to eliminate two enemies in one stroke. They failed and the three way battle saw the superior Naga Sadow forces rip apart and drive away the House fleets.


This is a religion very little known to the common folk of the galaxy. It literally means Dragon religion or Dragon faith. It began aprox 3000 y. BBY when a Force sensitive monk from the Outer rim started preaching of an ancient dragon that creates, guides and controls the universe with a metal fist. After years of preaching and being banished from one planet to the other, it finally came to pass that a small band of people believed him and followed in his tracks. The religion has not grown much nor did its influence but its order of monks was a powerful yet concealed force. To this day only one is left, Tyren "Ryuujin" Zin.
Tyren battled in several battles, most notably the capture and disabling of a Majestic-class cruiser. After the battle ended he aided in rebuilding efforts as well as he could, even going so far as to personally help with physical jobs like rebuilding damaged structures.

==DJB Trivia==
Tyren spent most of his time with the Clan in peaceful meditation or research, all the time listening and learning from Master Bastra's teachings. One day when he came to the Library of Artifacts, hoping to find notes on ancient Jedi techniques, he came upon a sight he had not seen for eight years. There, with the rest of his brothers, he found his past lover, [[Mayda Ferium]] - a woman that influenced him profoundly. After their initial greeting which, for the sake of appearances was a bit cold, they met up and seemed to renew their long-forgotten bond. They spent their time away from the Clan in a secluded place, somewhere where they could talk and catch up.

Tyren Atema was the second son of two Jedi, born in 1. year BBY, five years before the destruction of the Galactic Empire. He was once a thug, bounty hunter and businessman with shady goals and loyalties, but in his later years he had devoted his life fully to the teachings of the Force. He had never claimed his true place in the world; his mind torn between his tortured and anger-filled past and his revelation that there is something more important than his own ego and lust for power – the Force itself. Tyren Atema died in 37 ABY, during the Dark Crusade against the One Sith


Early life

Dantooine 19 BBY-3 ABY

The Atema family


"This is our home. This is the new beginning we dreamt of for a long time."
―Ashira Atema

Two Jedi knights, Jerreth Atema and Ashira Islana survived the „Order 66“ massacre and the insuing Great Jedi Purge. Years after the Emperor’s rise they met on a transport ship en route to planet Dantooine where supposedly a small community of Jedi hid from the Emperor’s wrath.

When they came to Dantooine they found the enclave in ruins, dozens of Jedi slaughtered with but a few survivors. In the midst of the carnage they stood tall and held on to each other for strength.

Eventually falling in love they wowed to rebuild the enclave and open its doors to other refugees and Jedi. With the help of a CorSec agent, a Republic loyalist and Jedi admirer, who helped the enclave with supplies and machinery, they rebuilt it in some of the many caverns on the planet. It was meant to be a safe haven for those that fled the Empire thus it was given a humble name, “Sanctuary”.

After Sanctuary’s completion in the year 5 BBY Jerreth and Ashira married becoming a beacon of light and hope for the people in Sanctuary.

Birth of the twins


"We are the last of the Jedi and our sons will carry that legacy..."
―Jerreth Atema, to his wife Ashira

Not long after the wedding, Ashira became pregnant. Nine months later she gave birth to two twin boys. Their coming to the galaxy was not only joyful for their parents but also for the whole Sanctuary.

Each boy was unique in the Force and promised to be great Jedi - their names, Ylith and Tyren Atema.

The two grew up in a peaceful and Force active society that Sanctuary offered.

Brothers undivided


"Protect your brother, as he protects you."
―Jerreth Atema, to Tyren

Ylith was older, very active, always in search of adventure and danger. Tyren, the younger, was, however, very different from his older brother. He learned meditation at a very early age and thus was more active in views of the Force. He stood by his father mostly, staying in silence while Jerreth spoke of great Jedi deeds and the philosophy of good.

Very early in his life Tyren utilized his Force abilities to do minor tricks, like lifting small objects or creating sparks at will. That gave birth to a sort of jealousy in his brother’s eyes, but even that difference couldn’t keep them apart. The boys became best friends, inseparable, one adding to the other what the other did not have.

Their parents thought them the meaning of good and evil and how to evade evil as best they can. Though they tried to understand this they could not, so they continued their childish, sometimes evil games. Jerreth and Ashira both sensed the boys slight affinity toward the Dark Side of the Force. This worried them greatly since they wished to teach their children the ways of the Jedi.

Ylith was the one that mostly got into trouble, Tyren however was the troublemaker. While he loved to make trouble happen to his older brother he was always there to help him out if the situation got out of hand.

Tyren’s intellect was his strong side. He dodged trouble rather than faced it. He had brains and his brother had brawns so they both grew up side by side, helping one another in times of need.

Coruscant 3 ABY – 23 ABY

A family in ruins


"Mom? Why are you crying?"
―Tyren, seeing his mother in tears after the raid

Three years into the new era, after the devastating defeat of the Empire at Yavin, four years after the twins’ birth, Sanctuary was attacked. The Empire raided the enclave killing anyone they could, with no sufficient weapons to protect themselves the people of Sanctuary ran.

They tried to escape the planet on the same transport that brought Jerreth and Ashira to it years ago. Though the ship was sturdy and well built it could not stand the brutal attack fire from imperial TIE-fighters. It blew up just outside Dantooine’s atmosphere leaving a few escape pods in space. Hundreds died in the raid.

The Atema lived, however, but became separated in the chaos. Ylith was with his father while Ashira took Tyren. The pod floated through space for days, left there by the Empire as a cruel fate – a slow death in the void. Some were taken by the Imperials, some however by pirates and raiders. But their fate would not be death, a smuggler hauled the pod Ashira and Tyren were in hopes of finding quick money. Upon finding the woman and her young son, he pulled out his blaster with an aim to kill. Ashira pulled out her saber and quickly dispatched the threat. They roamed the galaxy in the smuggler’s shipsearch of a place to hide.

They finally hid on Coruscant on one of the lower levels.

Life in the slums

Tyren on Coruscant

"I never knew Coruscant’s underbelly had so many people. They will never find us here..."
―Ashira, arriving on Coruscant

The worst place for a Jedi to go hide was Coruscant, every single Jedi in the galaxy knew that, Ashira however did just that. She fled to Coruscant with Tyren under her wing. They hid in the city slums below the shroud of smog. She was certain that being near the enemy would keep them out of harms way since the place had billions of inhabitants and finding one particular person was improbable. She was wrong.

In the year 6 ABY, after many years of hiding, they were finally found. A squad of storm troopers came into Ashira's and took her away never to be seen or heard from again. Of Tyren however they found no sign. He had run of against his mother’s knowledge to a friend’s home for a sleepover. Homeless, young and helpless he was taken in by Jatarra Dumash. Jatarra was a shop keeper in the slums, very well known to the populace. She watched over him and saw him grow up into a stunning young boy, albeit with extraordinary powers. She first found out about his Force manipulating abilities 8 years later, when Tyren was 14. He had spent a lot of his time in his room doing whatever it was that boys do in puberty, but that time she found him sitting still on his bead and several objects from his room floating around him. Tyren was startled and begged the woman not to tell anyone. When she asked why he did not show her before, he said that was the first time he tried. She promised to keep it a secret if he promised never to do it again. Time passed and the Empire fell, leaving a weak republic in it wake. In the year 23 ABY, when Tyren was 24 years old, he could no longer deny or ignore his heritage and his powers. He said farewell to Jatarra, and promised to return once he had it all figured out. Having spent all his savings on a ticket, he took a commercial flight on a transport ship towards the Outer rim and Yavin, the academy of Jedi he had heard about. Even before they reached their destination, the transport was attacked by an unknown enemy. Tyren escaped with several others in life pods. As his life pod escaped the transport exploded throwing Tyren around and knocking him unconscious. He woke up three days later on the Sword's Sheath, in the Yridia system.

History in The Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Tarentum 23 ABY-24 ABY

Gladius


"Welcome to The Sword's Sheath"
― Frosty Romanae

During his stay in Gladius, Tyren met the reality of his position. he would submit to their rule and do as he is told, or he would be dumped back into space. he had little choice. Tyren was assigned to Dox Romanae, then a Dark Jedi Knight, who's brutal regime of training left Tyren half-broken and struggling. even though he endured the punishments and training, once Tyren became a Guardian he left Tarentum and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a year. This period in his life is now called "The Pilgrimage"

The Pilgrimage 25 ABY


"Our way is not of light or of dark, these are but terms by which small men make excuses for their desires. We are balance."
―The old man

During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren traveled the galaxy from the wasted of Tatooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomir. In the Brotherhood he was becoming reckless, disobedient and that did not please his masters. For that he left, to change. Not long into his journey Tyren found the Old man on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of a religion that preached the legend of a "great dragon", lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Old man praised this ancient deity and predicted Tyren would too. Tyren found the Old man's religion very similar to the teaching of the Unifying force, endorsed by some Jedi in the golden years of the Republic. The "great dragon" was clearly a reference to the Force as a whole – a dominant power in the universe. He stayed with the Old man and learned from his wisdom till his death. With the Old man’s death, Tyren had nothing to look for on the planet, he left and returned to the Brotherhood.

Plagueis 26 ABY


"You will die at my side if you do not press your training, boy."
―Salth Khan commenting Tyren's skills

He did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. In hope of a new beginning and the continuing of his training he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request. Tyren spent the next year in Clan Plagueis under the brutal regime of his master’s teachings. Khan was a Sith through-and-through and Tyren could never really relate to his lessons. The teachings of the Old man still rang in his ears. He transferred to Clan Naga Sadow, leaving Plagueis behind.

Naga Sadow 26 ABY-29 ABY


"It was right of you to come here. You have much potential."
―Draken

Disciple of Kressh

When he arrived in House Marka Ragnos he was given a responsibility of leading one of the battleteams. Commanding Ravana Squadron gave Tyren a new insight on the functioning of the Brotherhood. The new experience only made him stronger in his resolve to advance through the ranks. Soon after he was appointed to Aedile of House Ludo Kressh along with Ylith, who he discovered later, was his long lost twin brother.

Quest for knowledge

After the initial doubt in Ylith’s claim to be his twin, Tyren subjected to a DNA test that confirmed it. In the wake of their shocking revelation the two brothers went on a quest to discover their forgotten and hidden past. They roamed the galaxy for clues on where to look, the search eventually led them to Dantooine where they found the shattered Sanctuary. In the rubble they found a holocron that recorded the marriage of Jerreth and Ashira. Amongst the data they found a holovid of their birth, of them playing in the garden, a crest of the Atemas and the vile attack on the Sanctuary.

Now the two brothers understood their past. They placed their family’s banner near the ruins, in remembrance of their parents. Although Jerreth and Ashira were Jedi and their sons Sith their will and wish to save their children was cause enough to remember them.

The two agreed they would bare their true names and never bring dishonor to it.

Battle of Antei and the Orian Invasion


"Your lightsaber, Dark Jedi Knight..."
―Quaestor Ashura Isradia

As many of his brothers had been, Tyren was on the front lines on Antei. Being a Jedi Hunter that he was he had little chance against the overwhelming power of the Aliens, yet he fought bravely and was awarded his own lightsaber. He watched many of his comrades die and even his brother, Ylith, a titan, fell to the Alien weapons. Both brothers pulled out with their heads. Soon afterward he was elected the new Tetrarch of the Night Hawks Battleteam.

After their defeat at Antei the Sadowites returned to Orian where they found an unexpected enemy, the True Brotherhood who had taken over the system. He led his Battleteam on a few special missions for the Summit which came out with critical information for the campaign. Soon enough the Orian Invasion had ended with the destruction of the True Brotherhood and the capture or death of its members. Determined to bring back order to the now scattered ranks of Marka Ragnos, Tyren took up the position of the Commander of Ravana Squadron again. Bringing the Journeymen to their ultimate goal and strengthening Naga Sadows forces became his new objective.

Changes...

In the long months after the Incursion, Tyren had changed drastically. The fall of Antei and the later Invasion on Orian had a significant effect on him, mentally. His dark personality had become less dormant appearing more often than usual. Tyren did not know what caused this, the Force-devoid Aliens or the death of so many of his comrades. Seeing all that death, Tyren virtually became less and less interested in important things, more and more walking into a kind of indifferent state of mind that didn't care for life or death. He started smoking a lot and found a secret pleasure in it.

Tyren's only true interest was the Herald office and his family and Clan. He worked as the Praetor to the Herald and assisted him and the staff in everything they needed.

A new friendship

A week after his brother took Tyren's old position as the leader of the Night Hawks, an unfamiliar woman walked into his office on Tarthos. The woman was Jade Atema, his brothers fiancée.

They talked for hours about her life and his, about Ylith's and her meeting and Tyren began to like the woman. But something was wrong; he sensed she was different, like him. He sensed she had her darker side chained and enclosed inside her, frequently letting it out.

Nephew and Uncle

Tyren stood, patiently, with Ylith as his son was born. Aragan Atema, a beautiful half-Valheru boy. Tyren became an uncle. He loved his nephew and would gladly protect him with his life should the need occur, since Ylith had a lot of enemies in his former Clans. Along with Aragan the Atema found a new relative, one that they didn't, even in their wildest dreams, expect. Kharon Daragon discovered he was Tyren's and Ylith's uncle being their fathers half-brother. Fate would have it that they found eachouther in the same place.

Battle of Telos


"Remember what we used to say?"....."Jackpot!"
―Tyren and Ylith

In 28 ABY the summit of Naga Sadow issued an immediate plan to destroy an Alien world ship, Domain Amnan, that had entered the Telos system, the jugular of Naga Sadow's supply routes. A plan, under the command of Darth Vexatus and Master Caerick, the Consul, was put into action and the whole suite of Equites and journeymen of the Clan joined in battle on board the living moon.

During their many battles in the belly of the beast, Tyren fought alongside his brother Ylith and his wife Jade along with their apprentices, Sarak Shai and Zaxen, including his own apprentice, Scuslem.

In a battle against the Alien priests, Tyren lost his left eye, one of the creatures having pricked it out of its socket.

Proditio

After the Alien attack, Ylith had been away from the Clan for some time before returning as... another person, Draken. His interaction with the Force-devoid Aliens changed him, he was less interested in his family and more in destroying the Aliens and gaining power. He had, in Tyren's eyes, betrayed the Atema by leaving his wife, Jade, and his newly born son, Aragan. Ylith's relationship with Xathia didn't help with the situation. The situation escalated when Ylith tried to kill Jade and Aragan. It was by Tyren's help that they escaped the Marakith Skyhook and evaded death.

Ylith left the clan never to return. In the few instances they met, the two nearly avoided bloodshed.

Synergy 29 ABY

The year was 29 ABY and the war against the Aliens was at its height. Yet, some profited from this.

Tyren formed a Company for mining and construction called "Synergy". He situated the headquarters on the planet Khalim, near the Omwat system in the Mid Rim. He saw the future rid of the extra-galactic Aliens and a galaxy full of opportunity. The company was small, employing around 5000 employees: engineers, officers, personnel and the majority of these were miners.

To create his company and finance its infrastructure, Tyren acquired a solid sum of credits from various financial loans, extortions, money laundering, etc.

The company was divided into 3 sections:

  • Mining
  • Military force
  • Construction and engineering

Miners were mostly slaves he acquired from the Hutts or enslaved villagers. Military force operatives were free jacks and people he acquired from various crime lords he killed. The Engineers he acquired the same way as the Military.

Arcona 29 ABY

Tyren left Naga Sadow some time after Ylith. He was tired of the manipulatory politics the leadership had brought upon the Clan. He looked for a new Clan to call home, and so he found one...Arcona. He followed his former apprentice Vorion who had been elected Aedile of House Galeres.

After failing in his role as Quaestor of Qel-Droma he pulled back, into the background for a while. Only when word of Draken, his brother, came to him did he come out of the shadows. Finally the time was right for the two brothers to face of...and end their rivalry once and for all.

Terminus


"Dear brother, when will you finally learn that you are weaker than you ever were? That is Draken's gift to you..."
―Tyren Atema, mocking Draken

It was a warm day on Shi as the brothers faced each other on the very place Draken used to rule his kingdom, the King's palace.

They had been chasing each other for weeks since Tyren came out of hiding. As would be expected from a Valheru, Draken lead his host's brother to his homworld, for the final, concluding duel that would determine the future of the Atema. Either one, or both would fall, but there would be blood, and they knew it.

The battle was a fierce one, like two opposite poles pushing and pulling against each other, each knowing the others weaknesses. Finally, Draken, the superior fighter gain the upper hand, smothering Tyren to the ground breaking the Krath's hold on his saber. As Draken pulled his brother off the ground he said: "Any last requests?". The only response was a smile on Tyren's face and a stream of blood and spit from his mouth. Draken's disorientation gave Tyren a chance, and he used it. Mustering the Force to his will he enhanced his strength and hit Draken's nose with his brow. The Sith tumbled back even more confused only to recover as Tyren bull rushed him over the high fence. Tyren dangled in the air, holding to a loose piece of metal as he saw his brother disappear into the mist, ten stories below. A single tear fell down his cheek as he damned the demon Draken who had corupted his brother so.

Sworn to the Shadows


"And we are they."
―Shadesworn

In the year 30 ABY just before the great conflict and the liberation of Antei, Tyren was called into a shady, well organized group of loyal Arconan elites. The Shadesworn were born as the pinnacle of Arcona`s war effort. Their mission would be to prepare the clan for a long awaited mission, the liberation of their home system, Dajorra.

Tyren`s role, as always, was one of a covert nature. He was to organize sleeper cells of commandos from the Synergy military branch and deploy them in every ship of the fleet months prior to the start of the operation. These cells would then upon their activation, place charges on vital systems on the ship, temporarily disabling communication, propulsion and defenses thus spreading utter chaos throughout the Arconan fleet.

Once the operation started and Arcona was flung into chaos, the Shadesworn assumed the role of controlling the ships and stealing of the artifacts in the Arconan vault. While his comrades broke into the vault and took control of most of the fleet, Tyren was left alone facing two Equites of higher caliber, Rho Ozrei d'Tana and Arcturus Gadeskin Xyler. Tyren, surprisingly, proved to be a match to both Equites with his mastery of the art of Soresu.

As the clan began to realize what was going on so did the momentum of the operation subside and the Shadesworn retreated to the Maw Cluster where they would reveal their plan to their comrades. When Vorion, Shadesworn`s leader under Mejas Doto's iron fist, called forth the leaders of the Clan to a meeting they reluctantly came under heavy guard.

It was there and then that the Shadesworn revealed the whole plot to the leaders of the Houses and their other comrades. The Maw led to Dajorra.

Later life 30 ABY - 36 ABY

Exile and Return

For four years, Tyren ran his company from Khalim. His work drove him to new heights and the company flourished. That is until the board of directors became greedy. They wanted Tyren out so they devised a plan. They would hire an assassin to kill him on his own yacht-ship, Jewel of the desert. A crude and ultimetly inefficient method. Tyren killed the assassin but revealed his Dark Jedi nature in the process. Having everything on record, the board decided to change their approach. They knew the Republic security forces searched for any lead or clue to Tyren's criminal doings. They sold the information to the security force for a hefty sum.

The secuity forces ambushed Tyren while he was on a business trip in the Core. He killed every one of the officers sent to arrest him and fled the sector. A Core-wide headhunt was issued, with several Jedi at the lead. He fled into Hutt space for two years, evading the "heat". He faced off the jedi several times but every time he managed to escape. His business was over and his future as anything but a Dark Jedi as well. At least that's what he thought. After the whole thing calmed down and he was sure no one was following him anymore, he returned to Naga Sadow in hopes of finding some much needed respite, but all he found was more politics. He would follow the Clan and see where the future took him.

Unifying Force

In early 36 ABY, just before his return to Naga Sadow, he discovered a curious holojournal on a remote planet called Tar Morden. It described the philosophy of the Unifying force in great detail and it left Tyren perplexed; he had found the very teachings the Old man from his past taught him. He had come full circle. He would hide his revelations and musings from the clan and continue researching the philosophy in secret.

Naga Sadow 36 ABY - Today

Attack on Orian

The surprise attack on Orian was unexpected and caught the Clan completely off guard. Plagueis and Scholae Palatinae exited hyperspace and immediately began their invasion. Their aim was to probe to the Dark Council that they were ready for "Clan status". Clearly they were not. Scholae Palatinae betrayed Plagueis, hoping to eliminate two enemies in one stroke. They failed and the three way battle saw the superior Naga Sadow forces rip apart and drive away the House fleets.

Tyren battled in several battles, most notably the capture and disabling of a Majestic-class cruiser. After the battle ended he aided in rebuilding efforts as well as he could, even going so far as to personally help with physical jobs like rebuilding damaged structures.

Mayda, Tyren's lover

An Old Flame Rekindled

Tyren spent most of his time with the Clan in peaceful meditation or research, all the time listening and learning from Master Bastra's teachings. One day when he came to the Library of Artifacts, hoping to find notes on ancient Jedi techniques, he came upon a sight he had not seen for eight years. There, with the rest of his brothers, he found his past lover, Mayda Ferium - a woman that influenced him profoundly. After their initial greeting which, for the sake of appearances was a bit cold, they met up and seemed to renew their long-forgotten bond. They spent their time away from the Clan in a secluded place, somewhere where they could talk and catch up.

Soon enough the two rekindled their old relationship, becoming lovers once more. Now, devoted to each other, they had the Force on their side and this time Tyren knew their relationship would bloom.

Methyas, Jedi mentor

A New Mentor

Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart, a Jedi Scholar in the ranks of Clan Naga Sadow approached Tyren within the Library of Artifacts on Sepros. He revealed himself as a Jedi and gave Tyren the opportunity he had been waiting for. Methyas proposed that he mentor Tyren and share his knowledge and wisdom with him so they could both bring enlightenment to their Clan. After some discussion and doubt Tyren accepted and showed Methyas the holojournal of his master, Xilaren Bastra. Their meeting was cut short, however, as the Clan mobilized to attack Khar Delba.

The Crusade

Not much is known about his activities during the Dark Crusade. What is certain is that he acted as Black Guard for several Summit members of Clan Naga Sadow and it's Houses. He was killed when an LAAT transport exploded above Khar Delba, in 37 ABY.
