| | === The Early Years === |
| | Severak according to his own account, was a Jedi Knight in the decades before the Clone Wars, claimed to have trained under Master Yoda but to what extent was unknown, probably in the Jedi temple than as an apprentice. He was young, potentially strong in the force and impatient, believing like others he had the right to the title of Master and to sit on the council. He believed he was being held back and there was knowledge he was being kept from. He set out on his own in a quest for knowledge, traveling across the galaxy seeking any clues that would lead him to the power he sought. |
| | |
| | During his travels he uncovered ancient Sith secrets amongst their old empire, powers that the Jedi either had no knowledge of or were fundamentally opposed to use, such as a powerful form of force transference that would allow him to preserve his youth by stealing body after body of force potentials he encountered. He found other scrolls that spoke of great power and which he sought to decipher in the hope they would bring him greater strength. Slowly but surely he fell to the Dark Side. At some point his arrogance and his perceived mastery of the Sith secrets lead him to take the ancient title of Darth Severak, a self-proclaimed [[Sith Lord]], though having no official claim to either. |
| | |
| | His search was interrupted by the news of the Clone Wars and the purge of the Jedi. He traveled back to Coruscant and discovered the truth that the Republic was now under the rule of the Dark Lord of the Sith and his Apprentice, Vader. Fearing a direct confrontation until he had deciphered the secrets he had found, Severak headed back to the Sith Empire to Usharak Keep, an ancient Sith structure strong in the Dark Side on the planet [[Kangaras]], near the Daragon Way. There he restored the Keep and recruited guards and two apprentices strong in the force, who he arrogantly named his discples. They were Tslotha Garnath, a Zabrak, and Selina, who he fell in love with and gave the name [[Severina]] as a sign of her closeness to him. From then on the two were lovers. |
| | |
| | |
| | === The Ritual === |
| | The years wore on, Palpatine and Darth Vader continued their purge of the Jedi and to build their new empire. Severina and Tslotha Garnath learned under Severak's teachings while the Master himself searched the secrets he had found that would allow them to topple Palpatine and take his place as Emperor. It was at this point that he found scrolls that seemed to relate to an ancient ritual that claimed if performed correctly would summon a powerful Sith spirit into the casters own body making him powerful. Severak now felt he could gain that power. All the ritual required was the sacrifice of the summoners own first born son. |
| | |
| | In 10 BBY Severak's son was born to a random slave woman in Usharak Keep, and Severak believed he was ready. However on the night the child was born, the medic officating at the birth stole the baby and a shuttle and headed to Coruscant. Severina was sent to pursue them and retrieve the child. However when Severina tracked down the medic the baby was not with her, and before the Sith could extract the information the medic took her own life. Severina searched the local hospitals and orphanages but without success. She returned to Kangaras and Severak was certain the child was lost to him, and with him the chance of power enough to overthrow the Emperor. With no other option Severak shut himself in Usharak keep with his followers and took to his studies once more. |

| | |
| | === The True Brotherhood === |
| | What Severak did next is largely unknown. Presumably he knew about the deaths of Palpatine and Vader, and the presence Skywalker and his forming the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV, but made no move against Skywalker. It is likely that Severak, drawing the reasonable conclusion that Vader's son had slain his father and Palpatine, decided against making a hostile move. |
| | |
| | What is known is that Severak or his disciples somehow discovered the Dark Brotherhood at some point and decided to form his own version on Kangaras called the True Brotherhood, by recruiting both force potentials and disafected journeymen and low ranking equites who had left the Brotherhoods ranks. In 23 ABY Severak infiltrated a spy in [[Clan Naga Sadow]] who was discovered and interogated, and Severina was also found to have done likewise and was slain. Following this Clan Naga Sadow attacked Ushurak Keep destroying Severak's followers and capturing Usharak Keep, from which Severak fled. |

He fought Muz Keibatsu Sadow who was present on the station, and though initially he had the upper hand ultimately fell to the Krath's blade. He cheated death using the force transference tecnniques he had mastered to steal the body of an Acolyte. |

However at the essential part in the ceremony, Mononoke and Muz lead a rescue, and once more Severak fought the Krath. Once more his followers were slain, the ritual was disrupted, and Severak fled once more, knowing now the ritual could not help him, reached his ship and left Mustafar.
