| At some point in his young adult life, Chanlin's Force potential was discovered by an unknown member of the Dark Brotherhood, and he was recruited into the then House Arcona. Once initiated into the Brotherhood, Chanlin chose his new name: "Vassan," which had been the name of a famous architect within the Marr family, and "Rokir," after the dead moon of his homeworld.

The Rokirs are a family within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
Family Origins
The Patriarch
The life and history of the family founder can be found within the Vassan Rokir entry.
The Origin of the Rokir Name
The Ricaldian moon of Rokir is named after the son of the system's discoverer, Danal Ricaldi. Rokir Ricaldi was, as legend has it, a deadly and cold warrior who, approximately 11,300 BBY, distanced himself from his famous and altruistic father by leading bloody crusades of conquest across Ricaldi and other nearby systems in the Melantha Region. He was also said to have a hatred and jealousy of his beautiful sister, Phaeyta, who always remained close to her father.
This legendary family structure was later symbolized in the naming of the system's chief habitable planet, Ricaldi, and its two moons: the small and lush forest moon that held a close orbit to Ricaldi was named Phaeyta; and the other, dead and desolate moon, far from the warmth and light of Ricaldi was named Rokir.
When choosing his Dark Jedi name, the Family's patriarch, Chanlin Marr, decided to embody his two "selves":
His first "self" was that of a builder: his own efforts as a politician in the EH Imperial Senate, his father's legacy as a business owner, and his family heritage as famous architects; all notions of creation, and of building a better future. By this he took the name of the Marr family founder, "Vassan."
His other "self" was the darker half: his military service under the Galactic Empire and later the Emperor's Hammer, and the admission that true control, true change, required conflict. And so as his surname he chose that of "Rokir," the legendary warlord and conqueror.
Symbolically, his name represented a sort of balance: the creator, and the destroyer. This would eventually be reflected in the Family Seal: two hands, each in turn gripping a hammer of creation, and a dagger of death.
Founding The Family
During the height of his temporal prestige as Clan Arcona's Consul, Vassan Rokir sought to further carve his place within the history of the Brotherhood. Having already designed and overseen the creation of temples and/or bases for the Clan's then three Houses (Qel-Droma, Oriens Obscurum, and Galeres), Vassan saw a need for a collective of builders in the Brotherhood, as the most that is usually left behind to mark the ages are the creations of those that have come before. And "legacy," both as a concept and a goal, was Vassan Rokir's ultimate passion.
The First Members
Upon stating his intentions to found his own Family, Vassan quickly gained two adherents to the Family's philosophy of creation, conquest, and legacy: Halcyon, a long time member of Clan Arcona, and a persistent ally of Vassan's over the years; and Sykes, a relatively new member of the Clan, but one filled with ambition. Vassan tasked each potential member with creating and building something that would benefit the Clan, for Vassan did not intend the Rokir name to be merely an honorific, but a representation of having earned one's place within a secret fraternity of builders.
