| |
|
| '''Anubis Annedu''' is a [[Sith]] [[Sith Battlemaster|Battlemaster]] within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. He has traversed several [[Clan]]s, all three [[order]]s, and several positions. He has served the Brotherhood as [[Wiki Tribune|Master of the Holocron Center]], Aedile of [[House Ektrosis]] and [[Taldryan|House Taldryan]], as well as [[Praetor]] to the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. His allegiance is to Taldryan, who he serves as a soldier and Dark Jedi. | | '''Zxyl Bes'uliik''', also known as the '''Iron Beast of Manday'aim,''' '''Breaker of Bones,''' and the '''Naur'alor''', is a non Force-sensitive Mandalorian General and genetically-altered Dathomirian Nightbrother who has the distinction of being the longest serving [[Regent|Regent of the Brotherhood]] before he was succeeded by [[Thran Occasus]]. He is an enigmatic figure of two unique heritages, born on the desolate planet Dathomir before being cast out into the wild lands and rescued by the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik, who adopted him as a Foundling and brought him to their ancestral homeworld of Nau'ur where he was instructed in their ancient knowledge of beskar forging practices, cultures, lore, and combat and war tactics. |
|
| |
|
| == History ==
| | He is an incredible weaponsmith and Mandalorian Armorer, blending knowledge of arcane forging practices with that of those of the Mandalorians and Perideans. He has allies across the Brotherhood, including [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] [[Idris Adenn]], who recruited him to the Brotherhood after spending time together as bounty hunters on the Outer Rim world of Batuu. |
| === Regular Life ===
| |
| '''''Without the Force'''''
| |
| Not much is known about Annedu's past. What is known, however, is that he served with several galactic forces before enlisting in the Brotherhood shortly before the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Incursion]] of [[starwars:Known Space|Known Space]]. While he lacked upper body strength during training, he made up for it with dexterity, precision, and tactics. The Lorrdian survived several training regiments, which allowed him to hone his skills and improve his survival skills.

| [[File:VodoB.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Vodo Biask, who would end up being a "Master" to Anubis]] | | Bes'uliik has the distinction of being the longest serving [[Regent|Regent of the Brotherhood]] before he was succeeded by [[Thran Occasus|Thran Occasus Palpatine]], and one of if not only known [[Sons & Daughters of Taldryan|Scions of Taldryan]] to have given up the Clan Taldryan namesake of Taldrya to pursue his own ends away Taldryan. He has served in a variety of positions, including the first [[Praetor]] to the Regent, Taldryan [[Proconsul]], Naur'alor of Clan Bes'uliik, and straight up badass. |
| === Potential Discovered ===

| '''''Taldryan'''''
| |
|
| |
|
| The Lorrdian, having been given a letter by an agent of the Dark Brotherhood, made his way to the Antei moon of [[Lyspair]]. There, he performed the Test of Lore and was fully inducted, of course only after swearing loyalty to the organization as well as it's leader, [[Grand Master]] [[Aristan Dantes]]. After being inducted, he was put on a shuttle bearing the markings of Clan Taldryan and sent to the [[Kr'Tal System]]. Arriving just before the entirety of the Dark Brotherhood met at an awards ceremony just outside [[The Shroud]], Annedu was quickly assigned to [[House Ektrosis]] under [[Hel-Pa Sklib]] and [[Vodo Biask|Vodo Biask Taldrya]] and put on the [[starwars:Victory II-class Star Destroyer|Victory-class Star Destroyer]] ''[[VSD Dark Prophet|Dark Prophet]]''.
| | = Biography = |
| | = Knowledge, Abilities & Traits = |
| | == Knowledge == |
| | Zxyl contains a vast myriad of knowledge across several topics and both the Mandalorian and Dathomirian cultures through years of intense training, research, and indoctrination. |
|
| |
|
| It was during the awards ceremony for the [[Second Darkness]] vendetta that the Yuuzhan Vong made their attack. They ambushed Brotherhood forces, forcing them to retreat into the Shroud. Taldryan was one of the first to be hit, the ''Dark Prophet'' taking incredible amounts of damage. All hands were ordered to abandon ship as the Yuuzhan Vong boarded the vessel and began slaughtering the crew where they stood. Annedu and several others escaped the ship injured, but alive, and made their way through the fray to the [[starwars:Venator-class Star Destroyer|Venator-class Star Destroyer]] ''[[VEN Katarn|Katarn]]''.
| | Having been raised by the Mandalorian Armorers of the hidden beskar-veined Mandalorian world Nau'ur as a Foundling, Bes'uliik is familiar with the ancient history, cultures, and lore of his adoptive people including the Mandalorian Code and Way of the Mandalore. He was instructed in a vast array of Mandalorian-related topics during his adolescence including but not explicitly limited to their ancient forging practices of beskar, Mandalorian combat tactics and war histories, advanced metallurgy and experimental engineering. He has been known to use this knowledge to guide and aid wayward Mandalorians, acting as a steward for any that require the knowledge he has. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the ''Mandalorian Creed''',''' Way of the Mandalore''',''''' and various ''Mandalorian Codes'' such as the ''Mandalorian Code of Combat''. |
|
| |
|
| It wasn't long after that the ''Prophet'' erupted in flames, it's power generator exploding in a violent array of rainbow colours and sending debris into the path of both coralskippers and starfighters alike. Clans turned on each other, attempting to secure as many artifacts and valuables from Antei as they could before the Yuuzhan Vong took complete control of the system.
| | Despite his indoctrination into the Mandalorian religion, to which he has a strong preference given his tumultuous history on the planet Dathomir, this genetically-altered Dathomirian has not forgotten his heritage and where he came from. He has learned the ancient culture and lore of the Dathomirian people, including the ancient forging techniques and practices used on the Zabrak's ancestral homeworld of Peridea, as well as their Magick. |
|
| |
|
| Having gathered what they could and fighting off forces from other Clans, the Venator-class destroyer was successful in retreating into the Shroud. Most of the Taldryan fleet had been vanquished in the retreat, leaving them with little defense should another attack come. The ''Katarn'' made it successfully out of The Shroud, where Anubis took his leave after a dispute with his leaders. It was there, that he took the opportunity to join with one of Taldryan's fiercest enemies - Naga Sadow.
| | Zxyl Bes'uliik uses his knowledge to gain advantage, lead the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik who follow him, and forge both alliances and gear. He is fluent in several languages, such as Ancient Mando'a and Dadita used by the Mandalorians, Peridean as used by the Dathomirians, the general Zabraki language, Galactic Basic, Binary, and the ancient Sith language of ur-Kittât. |
|
| |
|
| === Orian === | | == Abilities == |
| '''''Naga Sadow''''' | | Bes'uliik has near unparalleled skills inside a forge, a master of crafting. He is incredibly adept in arcane, ancient Dathomirian, and ancient Mandalorian forging techniques, and he can craft nearly any article - of war or otherwise - desired by those that request and are worthy of his services as The Naur'alor. the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Bes'uliik - which he now leads since their reformation. He has used his incredible skills as a Mandalorian Armorer to craft various armors for Mandalorians across the Brotherhood, including the likes of [[Idris Adenn]], [[Appius Wight]], both of whom he considers brothers, and others. He has crafted numerous things, and spends most of his time behind a workbench. |
|
| |
|
| Anubis joined the Sadowite forces as they returned to the [[Orian System]]. They were in for a big surprise, as the [[True Brotherhood]] had invaded the system with their own Star Destroyer - The ''Dark Fusion'' - and crushed any resistance that they met. Forced to retake their home by force, Clan Naga Sadow engaged in a violent conflict with the True Brotherhood dubbed the [[Invasion of Orian]] by those who participated and witnessed the violence. Anubis quickly joined in combat, although he had only attained the rank of [[Guardian]]. He soon became close allies with [[Trevarus Caerick]]'s apprentices Shaung Long and Nero Pennant. The three were present at the Battle of Tarthos together, where they fought alongside Sadowite forces from a starfighter. They were shot down, where all three luckily survived. In a freak accident not too soon after, the Lorrdian's left leg was severed just below the knee by Nero - using the lightsaber that had been given to him by Caerick.
| | As a Dathomirian by birth, Zxyl can rely on his incredibly limited practical knowledge of ancient Shadow Magick to assist in things such as looking into the future, amplifying his natural abilities beyond their normal capabilities, and moving objects with telekinesis. He is a natural born leader, deploying his high intellect acumen and leadership skills to lead those that follow him with resolute honor that supersedes even his own desires. |
|
| |
|
| After the conflict, subtle peace returned to the Orian System. Agents of the True Brotherhood still operated within the system, striking years later. For the time being, Anubis enlisted as a student under Horus Blackheart, soon leaving him for the current [[Ashia|Keibatsu Matriarch]]. After a large verbal conflict that left the now-[[Jedi Hunter]] in a bad state, Annedu was exiled from the Clan and forced out of the system.
| | Like most Nightbrothers - and Mandalorians - he has a penchant for combat and is able to deploy a wide range of combat abilities, tactics, and weapons to combat his enemies, using his incredible resolve to stay resolute in even the most toughest of battles or wars. The Mandalorian General is a capable lightsaber duellist who has intensively studied the Vapaad and Djem So lightsaber forms, and frequently uses his various light-weapons such as his triple-phase lightsaber and hidden lightsaber vambrace to deadly effect. While he has also learned the ancient art of Trakata, Bes'uliik does not rely solely on light-weapons as his only means of combat; capable of deploying a myriad of weapons effectively such as blasters, his gravity hammer and custom Mandalorian vambrace, as well as bladed weapons to deadly effect, often dual-wielding his assorted weaponry. |
|
| |
|
| === The Shadows ===
| | Although relatively on par with the physicality of a seasoned soldier, Bes'uliik is astonishingly strong and can deploy that might at a moments notice, earning him the title of The Breaker of Bones. |
| '''''Arcona'''''

|
| [[File:EyeOfTheAbyssII.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Eye of the Abyss II]]
| | = Equipment = |
| Having been expelled from Naga Sadow, Annedu turned to Arcona. He was welcomed with near-open arms by former Taldryan and Sadow member [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]] into [[House Qel-Droma]]. Drakai took the Lorrdian on as his apprentice, while [[Rho d'Tana]] elected him to serve as [[Envoy]] and [[Rollmaster]] of the House. Not too long afterwards, the Eclipse Crisis broke out within the Clan, dividing it in two. Quejo and his [[Aedile]], Orv d'Tana organized an attack on Eclipse Station - a station which took it's name from the planet it orbited. Drakai had received intelligence that Jedi refugees were taking up hold there, and wished to eliminate him. [[Zandro Savric Erinos]], [[Quaestor]] of [[House Galeres]] disagreed - believing that the Jedi should best be left alone and dealt with later. Consul [[Mejas Doto]] agreed with the established opinion of the Mandalorian, and denied Quejo's request to attack.
| | The equipment listed here is Zxyl's most used equipment, although he is not strictly limited to this list and often deploys whatever equipment is most suitable for a given situation. |
|
| |
|
| Quejo took things into his own hands, using his authority as Quaestor to organize the Qel-Droman forces and lead an assault. He used the House's vessel, the Bothan Assault Cruiser ''[[BAC Shadow|Shadow]]'' as a decoy for Erinos, while he led a contingent of the starfighters to assault the station. The ''[[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II|Eye of the Abyss II]]'' intercepted them. Doto ordered Xyler to stand down - something he did not do so very willingly. Outmatched, Drakai knew he could not take on the might of a Star Destroyer and conceded to the will of his Consul.
| | === Traditional Mandalorian Equipment === |
|
| |
|
| === Is This Home? === | | ==== Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam ==== |
| '''''Taldryan''''' | | Originally crafted by a long-dead member of Clan Bes'uliik for an ancient Manda'lor, the armor was returned to the ancestral homeworld of Zxyl's clan eons ago. When he finally graduated from Foundling to full fledged Mandalorian he was gifted the armor by his adoptive father, Krast Bes'uliik, to which the younger Bes'uliik modified to suit his purpose. The armor itself has gone through three major iterations since his first interaction with the Brotherhood, starting from its initial form to the armor he presently wears - consistently pulling from ancient Mandalorian designs and armors as he continously upgrades and modifies it to suit his abilities, standing, and crafting acumen. The present armor is a heavily custom armored beskar exoskeleton, and eschews a few traditional Mandalorian pieces for those that are completely custom. His armor does not bear the Ka'rta (or Mandalorian Iron Heart) in its typical place on his chestplate, as it is formed from three separate pieces. Instead the Iron Heart is located in a buckle on a strap used to secure the large pauldrons of ancient Manda'lors to his chestplate. |
|
| |
|
| Anubis returned to [[Taldryan]], several members uneasy as to why he had chosen to do so. He was a beacon of activity shortly thereafter, and was soon chosen to lead one of the two original battle teams within the House - Hex - by Hel-Pag. Annedu took the job with open arms, glad that he had been given the chance to prove himself to his former comrades that he was not a total fool. The Lorrdian decided not to waste the opportunity, making the most out of it. He instituted several new protocols and changes to the team, and had several successful missions. The Sith became close friends with several members of Taldryan - Sidarace Rathden, [[Taigikori Aybara]], and [[Vodo Biask]]. It was not long after that Vodo and Anubis grew into a sort of master-student relationship, as the Krath mentored Aybara and Rathden as well.
| | His helmet also follows the designs of ancient Manda'lors such as Mandalore the Ultimate, primarily gold in color with an underlying dark gunmetal grey piece that forms the main shell of the helmet. Expandable slots for his beskar and cerakote-crafted horns that open and close around them to seal the helmet from atmospheric pressure changes have been integrated into the "crown", allowing him to wear the helmet. The suit is crafted entirely from the purest alloys of the rare metal beskar and is both lightsaber resistant and capable of entering through all classes of atmospheres during an orbital drop, offering near unparalleled protection to the wearer. It is synced with his custom Mandalorian Vambrace Gauntlet to offer a unique armor combination. |
|
| |
|
| Turmoil spread through Ektrosis once Vodo decided to retire from the position of Aedile. There was unrest throughout the House at who would take his place - who would be chosen. There were several candidates, with Sidarace, Anubis, and Taigikori leading the pack. In the end, it would be Aybara who would take the position and serve alongside [[Hel-Pa Sklib]]. Things were smooth for a time, but as Anubis noticed changes within the leadership he became increasingly concerned - his own attitude and decision making changing in the process. With his judgment affected, Aybara was forced to retire the Hunter from his position. Annedu once again fled, his mindset that Aybara was the problem - though the [[starwars:Lorrdian|Lorrdian]] was in fact as much at fault.
| | Zxyl's beskar'gam is entirely unique to him and him alone, featuring a design not seen anywhere else. Several unique upgrades have been made to the once archaic armor to bring it in line with his own rigiorus standards such as knee-pad rocket darts, a specialized utility arm hidden in one of the pauldrons to assist him in a multitude of technical tasks, and a miniaturized hypermatter reactor built into the chestplate to power the armor. An artificial intelligence system has been integrated into the helmet, and has access to the wide range of sensors present in the beskar'gam. The Helpful Artificial Lackey (or H.A.L.) can control all armor systems including his jetpack, either solely at its own loyal discretion or Bes'uliik's command. It can communicate with him both verbally through spoken word or visually through indicators, alerts, and text on his heads-up display. |

| '''''Plagueis'''''
| |
|
| |
|
| Annedu joined [[Plagueis]] for a time, where he soon took to assisting Consul [[Braecen Kaeth]] in a secretive project. Anubis helped the Consul found and organize the Plagueis Armed Forces as part of his final assignment to Knighthood. An ongoing war with the [[Crimson Tide]] broke out once more, forcing Plagueis to act and respond. Long time enemies, they had been at war with each other for years. In the end, it would be Plagueis that would emerge as the victor - it's superior fleet outmatching the Crimson forces quite easily. Soon afterward, Annedu left Plagueis for a time - venturing known space and exploring it for himself. In his travels, he manufactured a set of Sith armour for personal use before returning to the Brotherhood.
| | ==== Beskar Gravity Hammer ==== |
|
| |
|
| During the Great Jedi War [[Unification]] , Anubis made the acquaintance of several new allies - one of which, he would later keep in contact with even after the man's transfer to Arcona. While the war was brutal and mighty as the Brotherhood fought to re-take [[Antei]] from Omancar Crask's droid forces, many survived the onslaught. the [[Dark Brotherhood]] would be the victory, and take the spoils. The death of Sarin rattled throughout the Brotherhood, as [[Muz Ashen]] ascended to the Iron Throne to lead.

| '''''Taldryan'''''
| |
|
| |
|
| After Unification ended, Anubis would once again return to Taldryan. Vowing that he would rather die than make the mistakes of the past, he served faithfully to the Taldryan name. After a couple months, he put in an application with Shaz'air, another member he had grown close with, to be his second in command and lead House Ektrosis as [[Aedile]]. With the blessings of the Consul, his former master Vodo Biask, Anubis was elected to take the position. During this time he saw the re-survey of the Kr'Tal and Rybanloth systems, as well as several other institutions. After word had reached them from the [[Dark Council]] that a bounty was put on Killik lives - and a new planet to rule on the line - the Brotherhood once again descended into a vendetta, Lord Ashen dangling the prize in front of their faces.

| | === Light Weaponry === |
| Taldryan would not be the one to take the planet. Instead, [[House Revan]] earned the right to rule over it. While it was a humiliating defeat, Taldryan still retained the largest dominion and accumulated forces. It had been the second time they had finished second in a vendetta - and it was already wearing thin. Throughout the next several months, it was quiet within the Brotherhood. Clans had their own conflicts within, but the Dark Council - and it's leader, Ashen - continued to rule and pursue their own goals. The Lorrdian would eventually step down from his position, feeling as though he was no longer able to perform the duties that he had sworn to. He had taken a verbal oath when he took the position that he would not repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, Starrett.
| |
|
| |
|
| Several months after his retirement, news had spread that Muz Ashen was preparing to make a large announcement to the Brotherhood at large. Members everywhere gathered around holo-terminals, datapads, and other source of media as they could. As the Dark Lord made his announcement, the feeling throughout the organization was grim. The great Clans of the Brotherhood were to be disbanded, and instead reorganized into single Houses. The news shocked leaders on every level, as many would lose their positions within the Brotherhood. Quaestor's and Aediles were forced out of their positions, as Consuls and Proconsuls instead took up these rolls to lead their new Houses. While there was debate of returning to the original House Ektrosis - it was never put into affect and instead the House remained Taldryan.

| Shaz'air became Quaestor, while former Consul Vodo Biask took up the position of Aedile until a suitable replacement could be found. Anubis again stepped up to the plate, the Sith wishing to show exactly what he could accomplish. The now-[[Sith Warrior]] was quite proud of his achievements, and wished to add many more to the list. Joining in leadership once more with close ally Shaz'air Taldrya, Annedu helped the old friend lead. During this time, he also became very well acquainted with [[Solari|Vexxtal]], Tribune of the Holocrons. The Lorrdian's thirst for knowledge impressed the Tribune, and was welcomed unofficially onto his staff alongside [[Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae]]. When Vexxtal left the position to join with the newly formed [[House Odan-Urr]], it was Anubis who took his place. With access to the entirety of the Brotherhood's information at his fingertips, the new Tribune took on the responsibility of both leading Taldryan and managing the vast database of information - as well as the flow of it - inside the [[Dark Hall]] of [[Antei]].
| | ===== Design ===== |
| [[File:Darkhall.jpg|250px|left|thumb|[[Dark Hall]] of [[Antei]]]]
| | ''Peridea'' is an ancient Dathomirian lightsaber forged eons ago by one of the first Night Mothers to make the great journey from the Zabrak's inter-galactic ancestral homeworld of Peridea to the planet Dathomir in the Known Galaxy and is named in honor of that ancestral homeworld. It was constructed by the unknown Night Mother partially as a test of her abilities to mix her traditional Magick with the mainstream lightsaber, and could have been considered technologically advanced at that time. |
|
| |
|
| While he formally moved to his own private office and quarters within the Dark Archive's located within the Dark Hall, Annedu still paid regular visits to the Kr'Tal System and [[Karufr]] to continue his duties as Aedile. While it was a large challenge to manage the two at once, the Sith was determined to make it through unscathed. After several months, he was promoted to the rank of [[Sith Battlemaster]] and created his own custom lightsaber, not forced into using the [[Herald]]'s armouries any longer. As the tenth Great Jedi War approached, Anubis fell out of the fold and eventually resigned from both positions, serving as an advisor to the Taldryan Summit and continuing his work as a member of the new Tribune's staff. At the recommendation of the Lorrdian and several others, long-time staff member and [[Old Folks' Home]] team leader succeeded him as [[Wiki Tribune|Tribune of the Holocrons]]. One of his former master's, Ashia Kagan Keibatsu, succeeded him as Aedile.
| | The hilt design is completely custom made and considered one-of-a-kind, with the casing constructed using a mix of Phrik and traditional Nightsister alloys to create an ichor-imbued Phrik-alloy casing. The weapon bears a weathered look, with dark grey plating and angular lines - including the dagger like emitter shroud. About thirty percent of the hilt is curved for the user's hand, with a multi-activation switch assembly that activates the lightsaber on the inside edge of the concave. Affixed to the weapon is a traditional crimson fabric of Dathomiri Spider-silk woven by the Nightsisters wrapped around around the bottom seventy percent of the hilt, hanging off loosely at the bottom. |
|
| |

| While Anubis no longer served as Aedile or Tribune, he joined the staff of the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]]. He served under [[Vodo Biask]], his other master. Vodo had succeeded [[Halcyon Taldrya]] as Voice, and had an outstanding staff. Vodo's staff was entirely made up of Taldryan members - [[Dralin Fortea]], Diclonius, as well as Ashia, and himself. Together they formed a tight family, working to make the Brotherhood a better place for it's members. At the outbreak of the tenth Great Jedi War and the subsequent assault on the Odan-Urr homeworld of [[New Tython]], Annedu was well involved with the initial planning and organizing of the [[Taldryan Military]] as they created a solid combat plan to be used against the Jedi and their forces. Shortly after the initial outbreak of fighting, Annedu disappeared from sight - and was nowhere to be found.

| The Sith roamed the galaxy as a mercenary for quite some time, before being contacted by Vodo Taldrya and was requested to meet him on Ambria. Following the call out of curiosity, it came to light that Taldryan had been betrayed by the [[Iron Throne]] and attacked by [[Jac Cotelin]], with the clan falling under the new leadership of Rhylance. Taking up his lightsaber once more, the Sith rejoined his former master.
| | When activated in its primary mode using the main portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes along the upper most portion of the emitter shroud - which is angular in design instead of round like a traditional lightsaber - begin to glow an ichor-green, with the emitter producing a sword blade shape similar to the [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darksaber ''Darksaber'']. The outer edges as well as the bottom half of the blade's core are a sickly ichor-green and put off a green smoke, with the ichor-green in the core fading to an onyx black further away from the emitter matrix. |

| ''''' [[item:48081|Anubis' Sith Armour]] '''''
| |
| <br />Personally designed and constructed by Anubis, his set of armour is comprised of a black standard two-piece body glove and a set of non-slip grip combat boots, with a dark chrome titanium-alloy plating. It features a reinforced combat helmet with thicker titanium plating and a midnight black steel faceplate for increased protection of the head and internal components. Inside the helmet is an integrated comlink and communications, air filtration systems, and a HUD providing targeting information and environmental readings, - which assists in visual processing in darkness, smoke, rain, or glare.
| |
|
| |
|
| All the heavy reinforcement has restricted head movement to a 90° arc and should helmet penetration, water damage, or ion damage occur the internal systems will need to be repaired before use again. A lighter titanium-alloy plating makes up the plating for the chest plate, back plate, arms and legs to allow for maximum mobility while offering moderate protection against blaster fire. The titanium plating is weaker
| | ====== Prior to Ownership Under Zxyl Bes'uliik ====== |
| | ''Peridea'' was constructed on the planet Dathomir thousands of years ago by an Unknown Night Mother after her journey from the lightsaber's namesake to Dathomir and the emergence of stable light-weapon technologies, believing that although their Shadow Magick was unique and strong that they needed to be prepared for any threat against their coven. She forged it using a diamond-shaped kyber crystal corrupted by her Magick as its heart and a unique combination of Phrik and ichor-imbued traditional Nightsister metal to form a Phrik-alloy casing as its outer shell. |
|
| |
|
| ''''' [[item:46466|Lightsaber]] '''''
| | Although the weapon was decried as heretical by her fellow sisters, the Night Mother retained ownership for nearly a century before her demise of old age, at which point the weapon passed to her daughter. This ownership cycle continued with the weapon remaining relatively unused and kept as a family artifact. During the High Republic its owner, a Nightsister in the upper echelons of their coven, passed the weapon to her mate after he won her hand in a performance of the arena. A slave captured from a rival Dathomiri clan, she broke traditional Nightsister coven norms by engaging in a full marriage with the Zabrak male. Her mate fully devoted himself to the ways of the Nightbrothers, using Peridea in countless skirmishes to dominate his opponents and realise the potential of the dual-phase lightsaber. He used it to eventually take leadership of the Nightbrothers, whom he and his Nightsister wife kept subordinate to the Nightsister witches. |

| |
| Anubis' first custom blade after attaining the rank of Battlemaster went missing for unknown reasons to the Brotherhood during his travels inside the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], and as such the [[starwars:Lorrd|Lorrd]] native was forced to create a new blade to replace the weapon. During the time that he was gathering the parts he required to build his new lightsaber, he opted to use a temporary one from the Herald's armouries; the "Juggernaut" hilt. The Sith also opted to use a bright yellow blade, to compliment his first lightsaber as a [[Dark Jedi Knight]] - which was also yellow.
| |
|
| |
|
| Annedu took great care in crafting his new saber. Forging the metal for the hilt from the same titanium alloy the Sith had become so fond of, several pieces were given different levels of darkness. Black chrome would be best to describe this. The inner workings were the same as many other lightsabers crafted. Focusing crystal, emitter and lens, these were but many parts used in the construction of a lightsaber. Anubis made his choices with great care during the construction process. With the inner workings laid our as he saw fit, the Battlemaster placed the casing around it. Then followed the trim; followed by the emitter and the pommel of the hilt, to seal it's contents. The crystal alignment proved to be perfect, as the weapon activated without a cinch. A bright orange blade emits from the top of the weapon, the Sith's new choice of colour. Why a metal-cast skull of a rodent hangs off of a darkened chain attached to the hilt, no one knows.
| | Prior to their deaths the lightsaber - ancient by this time - was locked away in a hidden redoubt in the Dathomir wastelands The redoubt was found by Zxyl Bes'uliik centuries later during 41 ABY after one of his expeditions to his home planet and taken by him to serve as a mark of and to honor his Dathomiri heritage. |

| Presented to him personally by [[Quaestor]] Shaz'air Taldrya and master Vodo Biask on behalf of Taldryan, Anubis' sapphire blade is one of his by far one of his most prized possessions. Lightsabers, blasters, all that can be replaced - but not this sword. Awarded to him for his substantial activity, leadership, and service to Taldryan, this [[Sapphire Blade]] is a symbol of what someone who started out as a terrible member of the Brotherhood can accomplish when they work hard and set their minds on the end goal. Crafted originally like every other Sapphire Blade produced by the [[Dark Council]]'s armouries, this sword does not differ from the others in appearance - only it's sentimental value. The functionality of the blade has been changed slightly, with the pommel being replaced for a physically similar one - it still looks the same, but is instead actually a built-in communications device during the times that Anubis is not wearing his armour.

|
| Anubis carries this weapon on him at all times - even during ceremonial proceedings - as it is a symbol of his accomplishments. When in battle, he uses it in conjunction with his lightsaber - wielding the blue-bladed sword in his left hand. While earning any of the sacramental weapons is an accomplishment, Anubis hopes to one day add more of the prized weaponry to his collection.

He primarily operates with blaster weaponry (such as his custom WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistol or one of his vambrace weapons) when in long ranged situations, and for close quarters combat relies primarily on one of his light-weapons - though he is known to field a beskar gravity hammer and lightsaber resistant bladed weapons when light-weapons aren't overly necessary.

Biography
Knowledge, Abilities & Traits
Knowledge
Zxyl contains a vast myriad of knowledge across several topics and both the Mandalorian and Dathomirian cultures through years of intense training, research, and indoctrination.
Having been raised by the Mandalorian Armorers of the hidden beskar-veined Mandalorian world Nau'ur as a Foundling, Bes'uliik is familiar with the ancient history, cultures, and lore of his adoptive people including the Mandalorian Code and Way of the Mandalore. He was instructed in a vast array of Mandalorian-related topics during his adolescence including but not explicitly limited to their ancient forging practices of beskar, Mandalorian combat tactics and war histories, advanced metallurgy and experimental engineering. He has been known to use this knowledge to guide and aid wayward Mandalorians, acting as a steward for any that require the knowledge he has. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the Mandalorian Creed, Way of the Mandalore, and various Mandalorian Codes such as the Mandalorian Code of Combat.
Despite his indoctrination into the Mandalorian religion, to which he has a strong preference given his tumultuous history on the planet Dathomir, this genetically-altered Dathomirian has not forgotten his heritage and where he came from. He has learned the ancient culture and lore of the Dathomirian people, including the ancient forging techniques and practices used on the Zabrak's ancestral homeworld of Peridea, as well as their Magick.
Zxyl Bes'uliik uses his knowledge to gain advantage, lead the Mandalorians of Clan Bes'uliik who follow him, and forge both alliances and gear. He is fluent in several languages, such as Ancient Mando'a and Dadita used by the Mandalorians, Peridean as used by the Dathomirians, the general Zabraki language, Galactic Basic, Binary, and the ancient Sith language of ur-Kittât.
Abilities
Bes'uliik has near unparalleled skills inside a forge, a master of crafting. He is incredibly adept in arcane, ancient Dathomirian, and ancient Mandalorian forging techniques, and he can craft nearly any article - of war or otherwise - desired by those that request and are worthy of his services as The Naur'alor. the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Bes'uliik - which he now leads since their reformation. He has used his incredible skills as a Mandalorian Armorer to craft various armors for Mandalorians across the Brotherhood, including the likes of Idris Adenn, Appius Wight, both of whom he considers brothers, and others. He has crafted numerous things, and spends most of his time behind a workbench.
As a Dathomirian by birth, Zxyl can rely on his incredibly limited practical knowledge of ancient Shadow Magick to assist in things such as looking into the future, amplifying his natural abilities beyond their normal capabilities, and moving objects with telekinesis. He is a natural born leader, deploying his high intellect acumen and leadership skills to lead those that follow him with resolute honor that supersedes even his own desires.
Like most Nightbrothers - and Mandalorians - he has a penchant for combat and is able to deploy a wide range of combat abilities, tactics, and weapons to combat his enemies, using his incredible resolve to stay resolute in even the most toughest of battles or wars. The Mandalorian General is a capable lightsaber duellist who has intensively studied the Vapaad and Djem So lightsaber forms, and frequently uses his various light-weapons such as his triple-phase lightsaber and hidden lightsaber vambrace to deadly effect. While he has also learned the ancient art of Trakata, Bes'uliik does not rely solely on light-weapons as his only means of combat; capable of deploying a myriad of weapons effectively such as blasters, his gravity hammer and custom Mandalorian vambrace, as well as bladed weapons to deadly effect, often dual-wielding his assorted weaponry.
Although relatively on par with the physicality of a seasoned soldier, Bes'uliik is astonishingly strong and can deploy that might at a moments notice, earning him the title of The Breaker of Bones.
Equipment
The equipment listed here is Zxyl's most used equipment, although he is not strictly limited to this list and often deploys whatever equipment is most suitable for a given situation.
Traditional Mandalorian Equipment
Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam
Originally crafted by a long-dead member of Clan Bes'uliik for an ancient Manda'lor, the armor was returned to the ancestral homeworld of Zxyl's clan eons ago. When he finally graduated from Foundling to full fledged Mandalorian he was gifted the armor by his adoptive father, Krast Bes'uliik, to which the younger Bes'uliik modified to suit his purpose. The armor itself has gone through three major iterations since his first interaction with the Brotherhood, starting from its initial form to the armor he presently wears - consistently pulling from ancient Mandalorian designs and armors as he continously upgrades and modifies it to suit his abilities, standing, and crafting acumen. The present armor is a heavily custom armored beskar exoskeleton, and eschews a few traditional Mandalorian pieces for those that are completely custom. His armor does not bear the Ka'rta (or Mandalorian Iron Heart) in its typical place on his chestplate, as it is formed from three separate pieces. Instead the Iron Heart is located in a buckle on a strap used to secure the large pauldrons of ancient Manda'lors to his chestplate.
His helmet also follows the designs of ancient Manda'lors such as Mandalore the Ultimate, primarily gold in color with an underlying dark gunmetal grey piece that forms the main shell of the helmet. Expandable slots for his beskar and cerakote-crafted horns that open and close around them to seal the helmet from atmospheric pressure changes have been integrated into the "crown", allowing him to wear the helmet. The suit is crafted entirely from the purest alloys of the rare metal beskar and is both lightsaber resistant and capable of entering through all classes of atmospheres during an orbital drop, offering near unparalleled protection to the wearer. It is synced with his custom Mandalorian Vambrace Gauntlet to offer a unique armor combination.
Zxyl's beskar'gam is entirely unique to him and him alone, featuring a design not seen anywhere else. Several unique upgrades have been made to the once archaic armor to bring it in line with his own rigiorus standards such as knee-pad rocket darts, a specialized utility arm hidden in one of the pauldrons to assist him in a multitude of technical tasks, and a miniaturized hypermatter reactor built into the chestplate to power the armor. An artificial intelligence system has been integrated into the helmet, and has access to the wide range of sensors present in the beskar'gam. The Helpful Artificial Lackey (or H.A.L.) can control all armor systems including his jetpack, either solely at its own loyal discretion or Bes'uliik's command. It can communicate with him both verbally through spoken word or visually through indicators, alerts, and text on his heads-up display.

Design
Peridea is an ancient Dathomirian lightsaber forged eons ago by one of the first Night Mothers to make the great journey from the Zabrak's inter-galactic ancestral homeworld of Peridea to the planet Dathomir in the Known Galaxy and is named in honor of that ancestral homeworld. It was constructed by the unknown Night Mother partially as a test of her abilities to mix her traditional Magick with the mainstream lightsaber, and could have been considered technologically advanced at that time.
The hilt design is completely custom made and considered one-of-a-kind, with the casing constructed using a mix of Phrik and traditional Nightsister alloys to create an ichor-imbued Phrik-alloy casing. The weapon bears a weathered look, with dark grey plating and angular lines - including the dagger like emitter shroud. About thirty percent of the hilt is curved for the user's hand, with a multi-activation switch assembly that activates the lightsaber on the inside edge of the concave. Affixed to the weapon is a traditional crimson fabric of Dathomiri Spider-silk woven by the Nightsisters wrapped around around the bottom seventy percent of the hilt, hanging off loosely at the bottom.
Unique Characteristics
This weapon is by design a dual-phase lightsaber weapon via a dual-phase emitter matrix, capable of producing a lightsaber blade or firing bolts of lightsaber energy at reduced power compared to the strength of the blade.
When activated in its primary mode using the main portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes along the upper most portion of the emitter shroud - which is angular in design instead of round like a traditional lightsaber - begin to glow an ichor-green, with the emitter producing a sword blade shape similar to the Darksaber. The outer edges as well as the bottom half of the blade's core are a sickly ichor-green and put off a green smoke, with the ichor-green in the core fading to an onyx black further away from the emitter matrix.
When a lightsaber bolt is fired in its secondary mode using the second portion of the multi-activation switch the ancient Peridean runes pulse an ichor green whenever the Tainted Nightsister Crystal is harnessed, with a bolt of ichor-green colored and weakend lightsaber energy then launching from the emitter.
History
Prior to Ownership Under Zxyl Bes'uliik
Peridea was constructed on the planet Dathomir thousands of years ago by an Unknown Night Mother after her journey from the lightsaber's namesake to Dathomir and the emergence of stable light-weapon technologies, believing that although their Shadow Magick was unique and strong that they needed to be prepared for any threat against their coven. She forged it using a diamond-shaped kyber crystal corrupted by her Magick as its heart and a unique combination of Phrik and ichor-imbued traditional Nightsister metal to form a Phrik-alloy casing as its outer shell.
Although the weapon was decried as heretical by her fellow sisters, the Night Mother retained ownership for nearly a century before her demise of old age, at which point the weapon passed to her daughter. This ownership cycle continued with the weapon remaining relatively unused and kept as a family artifact. During the High Republic its owner, a Nightsister in the upper echelons of their coven, passed the weapon to her mate after he won her hand in a performance of the arena. A slave captured from a rival Dathomiri clan, she broke traditional Nightsister coven norms by engaging in a full marriage with the Zabrak male. Her mate fully devoted himself to the ways of the Nightbrothers, using Peridea in countless skirmishes to dominate his opponents and realise the potential of the dual-phase lightsaber. He used it to eventually take leadership of the Nightbrothers, whom he and his Nightsister wife kept subordinate to the Nightsister witches.
Prior to their deaths the lightsaber - ancient by this time - was locked away in a hidden redoubt in the Dathomir wastelands The redoubt was found by Zxyl Bes'uliik centuries later during 41 ABY after one of his expeditions to his home planet and taken by him to serve as a mark of and to honor his Dathomiri heritage.

While he holds no ill will towards those that follow the Orthodox Mandalorian religion and remove their helmets, he refuses to do so himself under any circumstance. He will die before he removes his helmet. He is a stringent follower of the several tenants of the Mandalorian Creed, and has been known to become openly hostile to so-called Mandalorians who opt to break the Creed or dishonor the Mandalorian people and fail to atone for their actions. As Clan Bes'uliik's Naur'alor he is an incredible wealth of knowledge on the Mandalorian people..
Those writing Bes'uliik should study up on the Mandalorian Creed and Way of the Mandalore, as they are core tenants of his personality and how he conducts himself - especially in the presence of other Mandalorians and how he judges their own actions.
Respect
Zxyl Bes'uliik seeks to earn the respect of others, and offers the same level of respect in return. If someone slights him, he will not immediately react to it, but continued slights will damage their standing with the Mandalorian General and risk pushing their relationship with him to the brink of no-return. Those that lose his respect must work hard to get it back, and Bes'uliik treats them in accordance with the level of respect they have earned. Simply having a title or being someone important matters almost nought to him, his respect is based solely on their actions.
Combat
This Mandalorian General is fluent in several forms of combat, with feats and allocated skill points that bring most of the weapon skills on his character sheet to the Master (+5) level such as Blasters, Lightsaber, Blunt Weapons, and Miscellaneous Weapons.
Zxyl uses his Proficient (+3) Dual Wielding skill to frequently field two different weapons in his arsenal at the same time, whether it be his vambraces or handheld weapons. While not always the case, he uses his arsenal to the greatest effect it can have in a given combat situation. He primarily operates with blaster weaponry (such as his custom WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistol or one of his vambrace weapons) when in long ranged situations, and for close quarters combat relies primarily on one of his light-weapons - though he is known to field a beskar gravity hammer and lightsaber resistant bladed weapons when light-weapons aren't overly necessary. He deploys his dual-phase hidden lightsaber vambrace at the most opportune times and typically strikes with it when his opponent least expects it, and regularly uses the various phases of his triple-phase lightsaber and ancient Dathomirian light-sword to overwhelm and keep opponents on
He keeps a solid hold of his emotions during combat, very rarely losing his cool, and isn't afraid to use Shadow Magick to amplify his natural abilities.
