|
| |
|
| Uji is a former Jedi Knight, a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood driven to the Dark Side by the very teachings of his youth. {{Quote|To serve the Galaxy as a Jedi, is to never compromise, to always serve the greater good, this is why the Jedi served the Old Republic, why Master Skywalker fought alongside the Rebels, and why the Order now works with the Galactic Alliance, we have and will always serve for the betterment of everyone.|Tionne Solusar addressing Younglings at the Yavin 4 Praxeum.}} | | [[Uji Tameike]] has dedicated over a decade of service to the Brotherhood, earning respect as a steadfast member of the Grand Master’s Royal Guard and serving multiple terms under various Fists. In recent years, he stepped away from the spotlight to focus on his family. When approached by the Dark Council to assume the role of Fist following Rajhin Cindertail’s departure, Uji saw it as the long-awaited opportunity to bring his extensive experience and vision back to the Brotherhood. |
|
| |
|
| ===Youth===
| | Uji is a master tactician and strategist, renowned for his ability to plan far into the future, with schemes spanning days, weeks, or even years. He has cultivated an extensive network of allies across the Brotherhood, including individuals from various Clans and members of the Royal Guard who have acted in his stead. |
| The time before he was part of the Jedi Order is something Uji has never really considered. His life began with the Order: his mentors, his peers and those he interacted with there are his first memories. Uji was part of the first class of Younglings to undertake training by Skywalker and Tionne Solusar. His youth was something he remembers fondly, learning, training, and practicing from the moment he rose, until four hours after dark, when they were expected to sleep.
| |
|
| |
|
| During this time he would develop few close friends, but would find an understanding from the Order that the Jedi existed to serve the greater good, whether that be in serving the Alliance, the Rebels, or further back when they served the Old Republic. The Jedi exist to create peace, balance, and harmony: a teaching that would one day lead to Uji turning his back on the Jedi.
| | == Biography == |
|
| |
|
| ===The Jedi Way===
| | Uji rarely speaks of his life before joining the Brotherhood, sharing fragments of his past with only a select few. Upon his arrival in Arcona, he served as a longstanding member of the Royal Guard. Within Clan Arcona, Uji held nearly every position, particularly in House Galeres, before serving his longest tenure as Proconsul. His leadership was marked by controversy, culminating in his imprisonment for disobeying orders and opposing his Consul. Despite this, Uji is a decorated war hero, with a distinguished record in the Dark Crusades, Great Jedi Wars, and other Brotherhood campaigns, and has protected numerous Dark Councilors as a Royal Guard. |
| Uji found himself taking an interest in many of the Heroes of the Jedi Order who had turned rogue at some point, and the order of the Jedi originally used to stop said individuals, the Jedi Shadows. When concerns were raised, he was brought before his teachers, and before Master Skywalker. Even as a youth, Uji understood the destruction the Jedi were capable of, and assembled before the Council as an Apprentice, explained his reasoning. To understand how to stop a Rogue Jedi, one would have to understand their motivations. | |
|
| |
|
| Taking notice of the young Jedi, his teachers began to mold the path for him, using a direction the new Order had not yet incorporated: one of the oldest orders of the Jedi, the Shadow Sentinels. Years later, Uji lost his Jedi Master while hunting down a Dark Jedi. By defeating his master’s killer, Uji was accepted as a Jedi Knight and tasked with continuing his work as a Sentinel.
| | A devoted family man, Uji prioritizes the safety and security of his loved ones. His service to the Brotherhood provides him with the awareness and means to protect them from potential threats. Uji holds only a select few in the highest regard, including his wife Satsi and their daughter Samantha, his close friends Turel Sorren and Kordath Bleu, and Darth Renatus, known to him as Atra Ventus, whom he deeply respects as an equal. |
|
| |
|
| During the latter parts of his time among the Jedi, Uji would be befriended by a younger Miraluka girl, Atyiru Araave, a woman he would later unknowingly betray, and eventually come to serve.
| | Though unaffiliated for many years, he holds a note of respect for Arcia Cortel and Rulvak Qurroc two individuals he served with aboard the Nighthawk. |
|
| |
|
| ===Service to Alliance Intelligence=== | | == Physical Description == |
|
| |
|
| Once Knighted, Uji was assigned to work alongside Galactic Intelligence recovering artifacts, confronting and eliminating threats to the Order, and any other mission the Order deemed important to keep under wraps, yet couldn’t afford to risk having exposed. Over the years, the missions began to become more brutal, and tactics changed from rescue and recovery to elimination, threats, and assassinations.
| | With sharp, slanted brown eyes that seem too old for his face and a diminished frame, Uji resembles a soldier forgotten by time. His body, weakened by age and injury, retains a straight-backed stance, exuding confidence despite its frailty. The stress lines etched into his features are occasionally softened by a quick smirk, and his dark brows often arch in exasperation. |
|
| |
|
| Uji began to have doubts that the Order was capable of using him in such a capacity, but often found himself placed in situations where contacting the Order was impossible without going through Alliance intelligence.
| | Uji’s pale, tan complexion is marred by numerous scars, most notably two thin, parallel marks running across his sharp nose from below his left eye to the opposite side. His strong jaw and pronounced cheekbones are framed by a neatly groomed goatee and stray locks of dark black hair that escape the knot he wears. Though he leans on a cane, his commanding presence remains unshaken. |
|
| |
|
| ===Betrayal=== | | == Personality and Traits == |
| Given orders to eliminate a smuggling operation and leave no trace of the Alliance or Jedi’s involvement, Uji gathered together a group of smugglers, pirates, and murderers and provided them the resources and tools necessary to do the job. The Alliance wanted a group of smugglers known as the Red Ladies eliminated, as they had been an unresolved issue for the Exchange for quite some time.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Alliance decided to deal with the Smugglers in exchange for a trade agreement with the Exchange. When Uji tracked and found a location on the ship piloted by the Red Ladies’ leader, Arraas, he sent his crew after the woman.
| | Patience and intelligence define Uji’s leadership style. As a meticulous planner, he excels at crafting long-term strategies, weaving intricate plans that often culminate in controlled chaos. His slow, deliberate approach makes him an exceptional tactician and problem-solver, though it can occasionally hinder his ability to adapt to rapidly changing situations. |
|
| |
|
| It wasn’t until after the conflict, when his team had failed, that Uji came to understand what had happened: how a better armed, better outfitted force had been defeated after reporting they had taken the ship. Atyiru Araave, a former Jedi padawan and his former friend, had been aboard the ship. The apparent lover of the captain, she had lead her remaining crew to retake the ship, and eliminated the mercenaries he had hired.
| | Years of battle have left Uji physically diminished, but his reliance on strategy and careful coordination allows him to lead effectively. While he plays a supportive role in combat, his strength lies in directing others and ensuring their success through his foresight and calculated decisions. |
|
| |
|
| ===Disillusion=== | | == Powers and Abilities == |
| Uji questioned the orders of his mission to eliminate the smugglers, disagreeing with the need for extreme violence, and questioning when it became the role of the Jedi or Alliance to work with the Exchange. But the more he pressed the issue, the harsher the response he received: over the course of the next several months, he was thrown into more and more dangerous missions, and his contact with the Jedi order went from minimal to nonexistent.
| |
|
| |
|
| It wasn’t long before the betrayal was complete. Alliance Intelligence sent him on a mission to assassinate a planetary leader stirring rebellion in the outer reaches of Alliance territory. When he attempted to carry out the assignment, he found himself facing off against a squad of Bounty Hunters attempting to seize him for “Crimes against the Alliance”.
| | Uji is a disciplined practitioner of Makashi, having refined his technique to ensure each movement is deliberate and efficient. Over the years, his physical health has deteriorated, making his precise, measured style not just a preference, but a necessity. No longer able to rely on his previous physical prowess, he has adapted his approach, embracing the art of Suppression. This allows him to neutralize the abilities of other Force users, evening the odds in combat and ensuring his tactical advantage in confrontations. |
|
| |
|
| Narrowly escaping the attempt, Uji attempted to contact the Order, only to discover that his handlers among the Alliance had framed his last missions as him going rogue. Standing orders were for him to return to Alliance space and turn himself in. Uji was unable to contain his anger as he realized for how long he had been being duped by his handlers, when he realized that the Order had forgotten about him and let him be used to cause so much harm.
| | [[File:Uji and Satsi.jpg|thumb|left|Uji and Satsi fighting side by side]] |
| | | [[Category:Council members]] |
| ===Exile===
| |
| Sending a single message through to the Order, Uji explained his actions, explained in detail the missions he had been ordered to carry out, and ended the missive by informing the Order that he would no longer be serving them, or the Alliance they upheld. Uji took transport further out, and began trying to find a life for himself outside of Alliance space. Traveling where he could to find work, he began to orchestrate ways to use his training to do what he had always believed to be the right thing.
| |
| | |
| To strive for the greater good, no matter the actions necessary, he began to seek out something that could replace what he had lost: a group, an organization that could give him the tools he needed to carry out his desires. During these months, he began channeling his anger towards the Order, his desire for order to the chaos leading him to begin down the path of the Dark Side, seeing the potential for him to be so much more than the Jedi ever let him become.

| {{Quote|…It’s in the past. The people you wronged that day are dead, and that was their end. They are gone. You are still here. I am here. And, the Force guard us, that is all there is. If you’re expecting ire, if you’re looking for forgiveness, if you’re regretful, then you go to them, drag yourself before their graves, and leave your soul for their bones. If you want to keep moving, then you come to me, and we keep ‘karking’ going. That’s your choice, Uji. It always has been.|Atyiru to Uji about his betrayal}}
| |
|
| |
| Atyiru’s initial reaction to Uji’s arrival in the Brotherhood was a mixed one: the Miraluka had never expected that particular piece of her past to come to light again. However, in the time since their last interaction, she had been able to come to terms with the pain he caused her and his role in her former partner’s death. Instead of being crippled or poisoned by it, she used the experience to drive her forward, and treated it as a lesson in cherishing everything she had as long as she had it.
| |
|
| |
| This fact, augmented by her [[Marick Arconae|Consul’s]] and [[Cethgus|Quaestor’s]] approval for him, led Atyiru to cautiously but readily accept Uji into [[Galeres]] for his martial skill, intellect, and dedication. She endeavored to befriend him again, realizing that his time in the Jedi Order had not necessarily been a virtuous experience for him, just as it had been for her.
| |
|
| |
| The pair grew close again, Uji preferring to spend time with Atyiru because of their shared, more humanitarian outlook and attitude of self-sacrifice for a greater good than themselves; though they displayed it in rather antipodal manners. Atyiru tended more toward martyrdom and would promote mercy even when detrimental, sacrificing self in her unwillingness to harm any others; whereas Uji was more inclined to set aside morality and do whatever needed to be done to preserve the whole, sacrificing self in his willingness to protect others. However, both had grown with time, and as Atty had begun to learn how to balance compassion and self-preservation, Uji had learned to take difficult action without shutting out his emotions.
| |
|
| |
| At present in the DB, Atty and Uji are often found working closely together. She considers him her right-hand man and partner while on duty and one of her closest friends within her circle when not.
