}}'''Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu''' is a Dark Jedi Master and the former Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He maintains loyalty to Clan Naga Sadow, since it was through them that he discovered his family, however he does not forget his role as a Dark Councilor. Though he shows compassion, Sasuke shuns the ideals of the Jedi and continues to study under the tutelage of [[Muz Ashen|Muz Ashen Keibatsu]].

== Character History ==


===  The Mifune Saga  ===
Born on the planet of [[Kyataru]], Shikyo did not spend time long with his family. In an attempt to exploit the political fallout of the Keibatsu family, a rival warlord by the name of Nagahide hired a [[starwars:Mandalorians|Mandalorian]] to kidnap the child and have him killed, exploiting the xenophobia of the people and heightening the fear they already held for the Keibatsu. Sensing the strength of the Force within the child, the Mandalorian kept the child alive to be trained and brought into his own clan. The mercenary provided the warlord with a separate corpse to conclude the contract and make his way to the planet of [[starwars:Dosuun|Dosuun]].


[[File:Mifune.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Bokuzen "Hitokiri" Mifune]]The Mandalorian made camp on the outskirts of civilization, hiding the offworld child away in an attempt to provide him with effective training. As time went on, Shikyo went on to know the man as Muren Skirata and would be trained in the ways of hand-to-hand combat, bladed and blaster weaponry, as well as the Mandalorian code of conduct called “Resol'nare”. As he trained the child, the Mandalorian provided the Kyataran with the alias of “Bokuzen Mifune”, stealing a name he had heard while on Kyataru. In 14 ABY, Skirata had left the child behind to help take on a job given to him by the Imperial Remnant. Bokuzen awaited the return for his guardian but after a few days of no communication, he believed that the Mandalorian had abandoned him and proceeded towards the nearest inhabited area.


=== The Akumatsu and Lone Wolf Era ===
Upon entering the city of Dilim, Mifune made friends with fellow orphan Tyriel di Rossaria, a daughter of a ranking Imperial Remnant officer who had been killed. From there, he had joined a gang made up of orphans and misfits who despised the Remnant’s presence and sought to remove them from their city. During this time, Rurouni had been utilizing his skills for the gang by assassinating members of the Remnant. He met Sakuya Koyotai while evading his would-be captors after a mission had been compromised. She would hold him up in her father’s inn while he conducted his missions.
[[image:Shikyo2.jpg|thumb|275px|left|Shikyo 26 ABY]]Shikyo Keibatsu was born on the planet of Kyataru, but did not live there longer than one day. On the date of his birth, Mandalorians arrived to collect on a debt that his grandfather owed them. They were promised Shikyo. They took the child and boarded their craft, heading towards the planet they dwelled at for the time being. It was here that Shikyo trained with the young Mandalorian children, incapacitating some, and injuring others. Due to his wild spirit and untamable anger, young Shikyo was scheduled to return to his family. The day they were to leave was the day his family was massacred by Jedi, leaving Shikyo to live with the Mandalorians.


Considering the child a risk to the clan, they dropped him with a local warlord named Sagara Mifune, along with a sword that was sent to Shikyo from his father. This sword was claimed by Sagara and used during his campaigns. It was at this time that a warring event erupted and Shikyo was given the name "Bokuzen Mifune". Proving his worth through many victories, he became the commander of the Takeda Cavalry, and well respected amongst the ranks. However, the Mifune Clan was ambushed by a rival clan, wiping out most of the army, leaving only a few remainants of the clan, including Bokuzen. He took the sword that belonged to his master and left the past behind.
During a local festival, a squad of Stormtroopers was sent to take out Mifune after they had received information that he would be attending. Instead of killing him, the Kyataran watched as his newly proposed fiancé was cut down before him. Holding her close to him, she dragged the blade of the man who had stabbed her across her beloved’s cheek. Since that day, the scar she left has been a reminder to the mistakes he had made in his life. Unable to stay on the planet anymore, Bokuzen got on the first transport he could and left for Coruscant.


With his clan eliminated, Bokuzen went into hiding, using his skills as a killer to provide some kind of living for himself. He found a place of residence in a hotel owned by a close friend of his, working from there at night and entering quietly to avoid detection. It was here that he met Sakura Koyotai, a caretaker in the hotel. When he had time away, he would meet with her and eventually the two fell in love and were engaged. On the night of an annual festival, a group of assassins, seeking revenge, took the life of his beloved and creating the X-shaped scar on his cheek. With nothing left but to run, Bokuzen left the planet with his belongings, his warlord's sword, and the title of "Hitokiri", master assassin.
While on Coruscant, he had begun to take up hits once again in an effort to keep himself above water. After completing a fair number of contracts, he had been tasked to take out a political threat to a senator from a system he was unfamiliar with. As he engaged the man, the Kyataran felt powerless against him, unable to come close to making contact with the individual. Little did he know that he had engaged in battle with the reigning [[Grand Master]] of the Brotherhood, [[Jac Cotelin]]. Instead of ending the young man’s life, Jac had seen the assassin’s future in a brief vision, sending him off to the [[shadow Academy]] instead.


The shuttle that Bokuzen boarded was on a spice run to Coruscant, putting him in the middle of the slums of the planet. Hiding out wherever he could, Bokuzen began to sell his blade out for assassinations, targetting Imperial and New Republic officials alike. One evening, Bokuzen was handed an assignment to take out a religious leader. Little did the assassin know that the "religious leader" he was sent to kill was Grand Master Jac Cotelin. Instead of killing off another peon, Jac sent Bokuzen to Lyspair to the Shadow Academy.  
===  The Arcona Saga  ===
Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to [[House Oriens Obscurum]] of [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]]. It was here that he began to prove himself as a fierce soldier and as a potential leader. He would get his chance to lead when Bokuzen took the position of [[Aedile]], working with [[Quaestor]], Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet, as well as House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum. With incidents occurring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.


It was during this Rite of Supremacy that Bokuzen would engage members of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], more specifically the Keibatsu family. After engaging [[Shin'ichi Keibatsu]] and barely surviving, Bokuzen changed his name to Sagara Mifune, in honor of his fallen mentor. After doing so, Sagara would take on the might of [[Nekura Manji Keibatsu|Nekura Manji]], surviving due to [[Muz Ashen|Muz]] stopping the fight after noticing the dragon crest on the Mifune’s sword. Afterwards, the battle began to turn against Arcona, leaving Sagara vengeful towards the Keibatsu.


=== Arcona and the Right of Supremacy ===
Upon return to the Dajorra System, Sagara received the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and was appointed Quaestor, working alongside [[Halcyon Rokir]]. While he held this position, reports and images were shown that brought many to think that Sagara was plotting with the Keibatsu family during the vendetta. While the accusations were cleared, many did not trust Mifune as a loyal Arconan. Intent on seeking revenge on the ones responsible, Sagara went Rogue to exact his vengeance on the Keibatsu.
Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona. There, he was appointed Legion of Boral and a Flight Member under the command of dark jedi, Tuskani. Proving his worth in a TIE Fighter and on the battlefield, Bokuzen was appointed to Sith Commander of the Pandragon Squadron. However, he would not hold the position long. The clan began to make changes and his master, Quejo Bandon, was appointed to the position of Quaestor of House Galeres, while Bokuzen took the position of Aedile, working with Quaestor, Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet, as well as House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum. With incidents occuring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would have to test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.


Bokuzen took a transport full of troops, along with a group of his most trusted allies and began an assault on certain positions held by Clan Naga Sadow. At the beginning of the vendetta, Arcona grabbed a bit of an advantage, increasing moral amongst the ranks. To further this uprising, Bokuzen took the name of his former master and warlord, Sagara Mifune. It was at this time that he encountered a couple of members of the Keibatsu family, Shin'ichi and Nekura.  
The former Arconan found Manji on the planet of [[Antei]] and challenged him once more to a duel. The One-Eyed Dragon would prove himself the victor and under instructions from Musashi, brought the Mifune before the family. After analyzing the sword, Muz decided to bring Sagara to the planet of [[Tarthos]], convinced that he may have discovered another family member. While on Tarthos, Mifune participated in a dueling competition held amongst the members of Clan Naga Sadow, taking first in the competition. Watching his progress, Muz decided it was time to put theory to the test.


He engaged Shin'ichi while assaulting a supply depot held by Naga Sadow. The battle was held at a draw, due to increased artillery and the command to pull back from the area. Sagara felt ashamed that he could not do better against the Keibatsu, hoping for a rematch. He would find it in the form of Nekura Manji Keibatsu. The fight would go to Manji, however Sagara's fate would be spared by the elder brother, Muz Ashen. Recognizing the crest on Sagara's sword, Muz wanted to find out more on the young dark jedi.


After encountering Naga Sadow and the Keibatsus, the battle did not bode well for Clan Arcona, leaving the Aedile angry, vengeful, and more than willing to seek revenge.  
===  The Keibatsu Saga  ===
Taking the Knight under a high level of confidence, Muz brought Sagara to the planet of Kyataru, the home of the Keibatsu. Along with the entire family, Sagara began to learn more and more about the family and their origins. Once they had arrived to [[Kuroshin]] Castle, they began to make their way to the ruins of the Keibatsu homestead. Making their way down into the ruins, Sagara picked up what looked like a communication device, which confirmed his DNA to match that of Shikyo Keibatsu. He also learned that the sword he thought belonged to his former master had belonged to him all along. Accepting the truth, Sagara took on his true name and returned a Keibatsu and loyal member of Naga Sadow. [[File:Shikyo2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Shikyo 26 ABY]]
Returning to the Orian system, Shikyo began his ascension amongst the leadership ranks of his new clan, taking command of the [[Night Raptors]] and utilizing them as a stealth strike force in the upcoming vendetta against Clans [[Scholae Palatinae]] and [[Plagueis]]. It was here that he began to develop many bonds of brotherhood with his fellow clanmates, even being honored with a great warhammer from his friend Eldrad Sin. Assistng with a plan devised by the tacticians of Naga Sadow and [[Tarentum]], they would claim victory over their opponents. However, a disturbance on Kyataru would call Shikyo from one battlefield to another.




=== Leaving Arcona/Joining Naga Sadow ===
=== Reclamation of Kyataru  ===
Upon return to the Orian System, Sagara received the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, allowing him the ability to effectivly wield a lightsaber. Along with this promotion, he assumed the position of Quaestor, working alongside Corran Halcyon Arconae. While he held this position, reports and images were shown that brought many to think that Sagara was plotting with the Keibatsu family. With the accusations wiped but the hearts of the House members firm on their beliefs, Sagara left the clan, going Rogue and seeking revenge.  
Arriving at Kuroshin Castle, Shikyo began to make his way towards the western front, approaching the first castle. Combining the strength of the armies of [[Xia Long]], Manji, and Shikyo, the battle caused General Mieji to retreat from his base and regroup with those of General Misoshime. After routing the armies, they moved towards the remains of the Keibatsu homestead. It was here that they encountered General Tokumitsu and with the assistance of Shimura Keibatsu, were able to push him back towards the southern front.


He sought out Nekura Manji, finding him on the planet of Antei. Manji and Sagara fought against each other once more, with Manji proving himself the victor. Following the orders of his elder brother, Nekura brought Sagara before Muz on the planet of Sepros. After spending some time on the planet, Sagara decided to give the clan a chance, joining the ranks in Clan Naga Sadow.


To prove himself to the entire clan, Sagara signed up for the Sadow Duelling Competition, taking on members such as Mononoke Keibatsu-Goura, Nekura Keibatsu, Shin'ichi Keibatsu, and Shan-Long. He would take 1st place and gain some amounts of respect in the clan. With the word reaching Muz, the time had finally arrived to see if his thoughts proved him right.
[[File:Shikyo's Katana.jpg|thumb|75px|right|Shikyo's Yoshimitsu Toshiro katana]] With a moment to rest during the campaign, Shikyo began to get more acquainted with his older brother before continuing on, killing General Mieji and moving south towards Generals Tokumitsu and Kamateru. Before the battle began, they received new reinforcements of Nihilgenia from [[Ashia Kagan Keibatsu|Ashia Kagan]]. With the two generals defeated, the Keibatsu family attempted negotiations for the surrender of the enemy forces led by Nagahide. The negotiations failed and in return, the Keibatsu struck in full force again Nagahide, wiping out his forces and forcing an unconditional surrender. While raiding through Nagahide’s castle, Shikyo claimed a sword set that had formerly belong to the Keibatsu family, as well as many bottles of fine Kyataran rice wine. As soon as the spoils of war were claimed, the Keibatsu returned to assist in the 7th Great Jedi War.


=== A New Keibatsu and A New Feud ===
Taking the Knight under a high level of confidence, Muz brought Sagara to the planet of Kyataru, the home of the Keibatsus. Along with the entire family, Sagara began to learn more and more about the heritage of the family and their origins. Once they had arrived to Kuroshin Castle, they began to make their way to the ruins of the house Muz and Manji were raised in. Making their way down into the pit that was once their house, Sagara picked up what looked like a communication device, which confirmed his DNA to match that of Shikyo Keibatsu. He also learned that the sword he thought belonged to his former master, had belonged to him all along.


[[image:Shikyo_Banner.gif|thumb|275px|left|Shikyo's Signature]]Feeling complete, Shikyo had discovered his true identity and held onto the bond he had newly formed with his brothers, cousins, and friends in Naga Sadow.  
===  The Naga Sadow Saga  ===
Upon rejoining the Night Raptors, Shikyo demonstrated astounding skills in espionage, leadership, and Force knowledge. For all of this, he was promoted to Sith Warrior and appointed to the position of Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. He assisted in aerial raids to assist Clan Naga Sadow during their campaign, and helping to bring an end to the war for his clan. Afterwards, the Sith returned to Kyataru for intense training in the Force and in sword arts, receiving the title of “Wolf of Kyataru” from his eldest sibling.


After discovering his true identity, Shikyo was appointed to Sergeant of the Night Raptors, as well as a Live! Judge in the ACC. Considering the size of his team, Shikyo decided to train them in the arts of stealth. They eventually became a small task force that was used for assassination/stealth objectives. Around the time of their training, a feud broke out between Naga Sadow/Tarentum against Scholae Palatinae/Plagueis.  
After claiming a new flagship, the Consul, Proconsul, and Quaestors of Naga Sadow disappeared without any trace. With the head leaders gone, Shikyo and his fellow Aedile, Xayun Erinos, answered the call of [[Darth Vexatus]] to reclaim the true [[Sword of Sadow]] from the former home system of the clan, the Phare system. With the [[VSD Covenant]] under their command, the three gathered the clan together to engage the forces of the Emperor’s Hammer.


Using his team to attack on the land, Shikyo assisted on the ground operations, as well as the space conflict that would occur soon after. During the ground campaign, [[Xayun Erinos]], Eldrad Sin, and Shikyo took on multiple Disciples of [[Scholae Palatinae]]. For his work against the foes, Eldrad Sin gave Shikyo the Space Marine "Thunder-Hammer", an ancient artefact that was used to execute the enemies of the wielder's foes. Teaming up with the tactitians of [[Tarentum]], Shikyo, [[Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura]], and [[Trevarus Caerick]] created a plan to defeat the fleets of CSP/CP. Naga Sadow was successful in the campaign, claiming a Nebulon B-2 frigate in the process. Towards the end of the Feuds, a disturbance erupted on Kyataru, calling the Keibatsus back to their home planet.
Shikyo and Nekura landed on the planet’s surface and engaged recruits and security systems placed by their adversary. There, they claimed any items of importance while Vexatus moved to retrieve the sword. Once he had claimed it, the Aediles and the higher Equites assisted with the retreat, holding back the incoming forces. With the higher leaders returning to the clan, the forces pulled out of the Phare system. Due to his actions during the engagement, many in the clan referred to Shikyo as the “ass kicker of the Phare system.


=== Reclamation of Kyataru ===
Returning from the Phare system, Derev appeared changed by the events that had occurred. After stepping down from the position, Shikyo ascended to the command of House Marka Ragnos and began to train the Journeyman for a new Rite of Supremacy with Ylith Atema. However, a distress call from Kyataru would take the Sith’s attention, as well as a disturbance felt from the Unknown Regions. With the situation on Kyataru slightly settled, the Equite traveled to the Unknown Regions to investigate the disturbance. What he discovered was a planet of low-level Force sensitives, taking [[Faeril Munlear]] from that planet.
[[image:Shikyo's_Katana.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Shikyo's Yoshimitsu Toshiro katana]]Arriving at Kuroshin Castle, Shikyo began to make his way towards the Western Front, approaching the first castle. Combining the strength of the armies of Xia-Long, Manji, and Shikyo, the battle caused General Mieji to retreat from his base. After taking the castle, the forces encountered the rest of Mieji's forces, as well as those of General Misoshime. After routing the armies, they proceeded towards the remains of Koji Keibatsu's house, the father of Muz, Shin'ichi, Nekura, and Shikyo. It was here that they encountered General Tokumitsu, the Shogun of their father's castle. In order to defeat the general, they acquired the help of their cousin, Shimura. At this time, the enemy forces were slowly being overwhelmed, causing them to retreat to the Southern Front.


Finding some time to relax, Shikyo began to get more acquainted with his older brother, as well as Xia. However, the campaign continued with the death of General Mieji, as the armies proceeded south. It was during this point in the war that Shikyo and Xia began to form a bond, admist the fighting. This bond brought them close together but would prove to not be a strong one, in the end. After dealing with Mieji, the army continued towards the castle of Generals Tokumitsu and Kamateru, with some new reenforcements that were retrieved by Ashia Kagan. Meeting up with Ashia, they proceeded to the castle, eliminating both generals.  
Acknowledging his many adventures and neglect to duties, Shikyo stepped down to allow his former master, Quejo Drakai, to assume the position of Quaestor. With more time on his hands, Shikyo began to delve deeper into the Sith arts by traveling to the [[starwars:Sith Arts Academy|Sith Arts Academy]] on the planet of [[starwars:Thule|Thule]] with Faeril. It was here that Shikyo encountered the Headmistress, [[starwars:Drevveka Hoctu|Drevveka Hoctu]]. Her means of instructing through heavy usage of the Force for survival taught the Keibatsu many ways of manipulating the Force. These lessons also affected the look of his eyes during times of extreme duress, changing them to a deep crimson color.


With victory in grasp, the Keibatsu family decided to take on an act of diplomacy, hoping to win the hearts of the locals. Alongside Shin'ichi, Shikyo began peace talks with head Shogun, Nagahide. The negotiations did not go as well as were hoped, leaving an alternative route for the family to take: eliminate Nagahide. Muz and Nekura were the ones who would handle this task, while the rest of the family would prevent anyone from interrupting the confrontation. Muz would seal the warlord's fate by severing his head with the lower half of his jaw. Claiming a sword set found in Nagahide's vault and a couple bottles of sake, Shikyo returned with the rest of the Keibatsus to assist in the 7th Great Jedi War.


[[File:Herald Shikyo.jpg|thumb|125px|left|Shikyo 28 ABY]]


=== The 7th Great Jedi War and The Phare System===
=== The Herald Saga  ===
Rejoining the Night Raptors, Shikyo began to investigate into certain accusations the clan was facing. Discovering who was behind them, Shikyo was granted the rank of Sith Warrior by the Overlord and Consul of the clan. This new rank opened up a doorway of training and knowledge that would assist him in the upcoming battles of the war. He mastered the art of wielding both of his swords at the same time, as well as improving the design of his lightsaber.  
After training extensively, Shikyo would rejoin his clanmates for the Rite of Supremacy and was there when the Force-devoid aliens began their assault on Antei. With no experience against an enemy such as the Aliens, the Keibatsu only managed to kill a few and evaded many he encountered. Disheartened by the fact he had to retreat, Sasuke’s aggression and training reached an all time high. He furthered his knowledge of the Sith arts, as well as refining his lightsaber skills. During the time after the Battle of Antei, the Herald had gone missing. As soon as he could, Shikyo went before the Grand Master, [[Aristan Dantes|Darth Sarin]], and proved his worth to him to take up the mantle of Herald.


Using his knowledge to assist in the quelling of an uprising on Sepros, Shikyo began to prepare his team for the assault on Antei. HIs actions would soon find their way to the newly appointed Consul, Manesh Sadow. Upon hearing the duties performed by the Warrior, Manesh appointed Shikyo to the position of Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. He would work alongside J'Rai Sadow for the duration of the war. His main goal was to serve as Squadron Leader during the flight raid upon Antei. This plan reduced the artillery that was already laid out against the forces of Naga Sadow.  
This provided access to Shikyo on the knowledge of infusing the dark side in lightsabers, helping him to learn greater abilities in the Force. It was during his tenure as Herald that the Keibatsu began to seek knowledge with a passion, turning him from the ways of the Sith and towards those of the Krath. With Antei still occupied, Shikyo continued to train and perfect his sword arts on Misahide Castle on Kyataru.  


With the war over and his clan slowly falling back into place, Shikyo took some time to leave for Kyataru to continue his training. After word of his actions reached Muz, the Warrior was provided the title of "Wolf of Kyataru", due to his prowess on the battlefield and his preference to be alone most of the time.
When the Grand Master called for his Council and informed them of the plan to retake Antei, Sasuke awaited eagerly to prove his might against the horde that had previously swarmed their home. However, Shikyo was surprised to find droids and Jedi in place of the Aliens. Angered that the Jedi had taken away his chance at revenge, the Herald decided to go to the planet’s surface in clearing the Dark Hall of the filth that had taken it. It was here that he confronted both a dying Alien slayer as well as a Kel Dor Jedi Master.


After claiming a new ship for their clan, Consul Manesh Sadow and Proconsul Kat Pridemore seemed to have disappeared from Sepros, as well as Quaestors Derevko Niroth and Malisane De Ath. With the highest members of leadership gone, Aediles Shikyo and Xayun Erinos responded to the call of Darth Vexatus to reclaim the true Sword of Sadow from the Phare System, the former home of Clan Naga Sadow. Taking the VSD Covenant as the flagship, the three gathered the forces of Naga Sadow and prepared to engage the forces of the Emperor's Hammer.


As they landed on the planet's surface, the Aediles led their houses against a force of EH recruits, as well as the security systems within the former Sadow Palace. Leaving the Dark Prophet to retrieve the artefact, Shikyo and his brother Manji led a group of journeymen to explore the ancient palace and retrieve anything of importance that could be used at a later time. Just as they were gathering some intelligence from the palace's computers, Vexatus informed them of his situation and called for an immediate evacuation.
Satisfied with the death of both, the Keibatsu continued to move towards the Dark Hall, securing its treasures from possible destruction. With his eldest brother on the [[Iron Throne]], Sasuke returned to the Orian system and got re-acquainted with the members of the clan. During a night of drinking, Shikyo was taken captive by a female Jedi, along with a couple of Aliens accompanied by members of the Peace Brigade. As a group of dark Jedi from the clan moved to rescue the Herald, Shikyo had taken advantage of the chaos they had stirred, killing the three Aliens unarmed and taking the female Jedi back to Misahide in the hopes of turning and training her.[[File:ShikWepsVer2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Shikyo's swords and Award Weapons]]


Shikyo requested the assistance of the Knights and Equites to hold of the remaining forces until all the journeymen were placed inside the shuttles. Once they were collected, the Aediles called for a retreat of the system once they had reclaimed their missing Quaestors. With Manesh in control of an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Naga Sadow fleet returned home with the artefact in their possession. For his actions in the system, some of his fellow clanmates began to call Shikyo the "arse kicker of the Phare System".
===  The Elder Saga  ===
After capturing the female Jedi, a call was sent out to the Dark Council to return to their home clans for an upcoming vendetta on a distant planet known as Salas V. Though hesitant to return to Naga Sadow, he returned to the clan and fought alongside their new members, acting as an advisor to the leadership. While on the battlefield, he had fought against numerous Dark Jedi he once fought along side and even trained under. For his guidance and assistance to the members of Naga Sadow, the Sons deemed him worth to bear the title of Son of Sadow. As soon as his services were no longer required, he returned back to Kyataru to a mission of extreme importance.


=== Rise in Power, Fall to Darkness ===
After the conquest of the Phare system, issues began to plague Derevko Niroth, causing him to step down from the seat of Quaestor. Accepting the duties of the position, Shikyo would succeed him as the 24th Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos. With his ascension to the head of the house, Shikyo decided to appoint Ylith Atema as his Aedile. The two of them began to prepare the newer members for the upcoming Rite of Supremacy. However, Shikyo would have to leave many of his duties in the hands of his Aedile, as alarming issues began to develop on his home planet.


While dealing with these issues at home, Shikyo was picking up signals that seemed to trace back from the Unknown Regions. After investigating the phenomenon, the young Keibatsu discovered an unknown, unnamed planet that was inhabited with low-level Force users. One of these Force sensitives, Faeril Munlear, snuck aboard his Sith Infiltrator and would begin to train under him for a short amount of time. With many things occuring at once, The Sith resigned as Quaestor and made way for his former master, Quejo Rak'ul Drakai, to succeed him. At this moment of ascension, the Brotherhood would be rocked to the core, as Yuuzhan Vong began to strike at the heart; Antei.
[[File:Encased Pistols.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Shikyo's twin "Silver Wolf" pistols]]Converting the female Jedi named Eliria Krishnaya over to the Dark Side, Shikyo utilized the young woman’s knowledge to obtain information from the New Republic. One of the things he obtained were various files of Jedi Order members. As he was finalizing the information obtained, he felt a disturbance in the Force, soon after receiving a vision. The young woman had been captured during a mission and held in the bowels of the Sith Arts Academy.  


He would take on many Vong, killing very few and evading the rest. The battle would leave the Keibatsu with an urgency to become stronger at almost any cost, calling on the help of new Consul, Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu Sadow, to guide him in the ways of Sith Alchemy, and would continue further training from his older brother, Muz Keibatsu Sadow, after recovering from injuries he received while captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. The battle with this new threat brought about a new wind to the Sith, adding more aggression to his manner while maintaining some form of level-headedness. This change was created by his inability to remain more controlled while engaging the enemy.
Returning to the nightmare he faced as a Sith Warrior, Shikyo encountered a new Headmaster along with new disciples at the Academy. Defeating all who stood before him, the Herald took on the Headmaster, an Adept by the name of Tu’rak Haimon, in an area newly developed in the Academy known as the Headmaster’s Sanctuary. During the battle, the Adept had done heavy damage to the Pontifex, burying the Keibatsu’s own saber into his ribs, as well as throwing him into a granite wall. Through his training under the Dark Lord of the Sith, the Kyataran was able to defeat his opponent and was ascended to the rank of Dark Side Adept for his devotion and commitment to the Brotherhood.


== DJB Facts ==
Though he had the powers of the Elder Class, Shikyo felt it was more necessary to keep his abilities and identity hidden from the rest of the galaxy. Utilizing Eliria as his hand and replacing his swords for blaster pistols, the Herald had changed his mindset from his more Kyataran beliefs to something more conventional. Training alongside the Nihilgenia, he obtained a higher level of skills and greater proficiency with blaster weaponry.

During a routine enforcement on one of the islands of the Kane’ohe Archipelago, Shikyo lost contact of Eliria and to this day has not determined her fate. He investigated her disappearance before eventually leading to a connection between security breaks occurring within not only Kyataru but also within the Sepros system. Returning to CNS-controlled space, the Keibatsu made the discovery that a couple of Jedi remaining from the Battle of Antei were breaching security in an effort to attack members of the Dark Council and Dark Summit. His investigation led him back to a battle ruined San Korinar where he discovered that his former fiancée, Sakuya Koyotai, had been alive all along and had become a Jedi Master.


*Recently, has joined the Inner Order of Clan Naga Sadow, under the Fourth Tier.
It was here that he learned of the fate of Eliria Krishnaya; that she had been converted to the light by Koyotai and was serving as her Padawan. Though the Jedi had escaped before the Keibatsu could deal with them, Shikyo began to make preparations to track them down and exterminate them. However, he was called away by his eldest brother to re-establish business connections that the Brotherhood had used in order to maintain their financial security. While on one of his missions in Coruscant, the Elder was attacked by two members of Clan Naga Sadow’s Black Guard. Enraged at the attempt on his life from his former Clan, the Keibatsu sought out the Overlord of Naga Sadow.

Sensing the anger and confusion in Tron, Shikyo left with a warning to kill the Overlord if another attempt on his life was made. Uncertain of who in the Clan would attempt to assassinate him, Shikyo removed the title of “Sadow” from his name and continued on his mission for the Iron Throne.

Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu is a Dark Jedi Master and the former Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He maintains loyalty to Clan Naga Sadow, since it was through them that he discovered his family, however he does not forget his role as a Dark Councilor. Though he shows compassion, Sasuke shuns the ideals of the Jedi and continues to study under the tutelage of Muz Ashen Keibatsu.


Character History

The Mifune Saga

Born on the planet of Kyataru, Shikyo did not spend time long with his family. In an attempt to exploit the political fallout of the Keibatsu family, a rival warlord by the name of Nagahide hired a Mandalorian to kidnap the child and have him killed, exploiting the xenophobia of the people and heightening the fear they already held for the Keibatsu. Sensing the strength of the Force within the child, the Mandalorian kept the child alive to be trained and brought into his own clan. The mercenary provided the warlord with a separate corpse to conclude the contract and make his way to the planet of Dosuun.

Bokuzen "Hitokiri" Mifune

The Mandalorian made camp on the outskirts of civilization, hiding the offworld child away in an attempt to provide him with effective training. As time went on, Shikyo went on to know the man as Muren Skirata and would be trained in the ways of hand-to-hand combat, bladed and blaster weaponry, as well as the Mandalorian code of conduct called “Resol'nare”. As he trained the child, the Mandalorian provided the Kyataran with the alias of “Bokuzen Mifune”, stealing a name he had heard while on Kyataru. In 14 ABY, Skirata had left the child behind to help take on a job given to him by the Imperial Remnant. Bokuzen awaited the return for his guardian but after a few days of no communication, he believed that the Mandalorian had abandoned him and proceeded towards the nearest inhabited area.

Upon entering the city of Dilim, Mifune made friends with fellow orphan Tyriel di Rossaria, a daughter of a ranking Imperial Remnant officer who had been killed. From there, he had joined a gang made up of orphans and misfits who despised the Remnant’s presence and sought to remove them from their city. During this time, Rurouni had been utilizing his skills for the gang by assassinating members of the Remnant. He met Sakuya Koyotai while evading his would-be captors after a mission had been compromised. She would hold him up in her father’s inn while he conducted his missions.

During a local festival, a squad of Stormtroopers was sent to take out Mifune after they had received information that he would be attending. Instead of killing him, the Kyataran watched as his newly proposed fiancé was cut down before him. Holding her close to him, she dragged the blade of the man who had stabbed her across her beloved’s cheek. Since that day, the scar she left has been a reminder to the mistakes he had made in his life. Unable to stay on the planet anymore, Bokuzen got on the first transport he could and left for Coruscant.

While on Coruscant, he had begun to take up hits once again in an effort to keep himself above water. After completing a fair number of contracts, he had been tasked to take out a political threat to a senator from a system he was unfamiliar with. As he engaged the man, the Kyataran felt powerless against him, unable to come close to making contact with the individual. Little did he know that he had engaged in battle with the reigning Grand Master of the Brotherhood, Jac Cotelin. Instead of ending the young man’s life, Jac had seen the assassin’s future in a brief vision, sending him off to the shadow Academy instead.

The Arcona Saga

Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona. It was here that he began to prove himself as a fierce soldier and as a potential leader. He would get his chance to lead when Bokuzen took the position of Aedile, working with Quaestor, Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet, as well as House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum. With incidents occurring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.

It was during this Rite of Supremacy that Bokuzen would engage members of Clan Naga Sadow, more specifically the Keibatsu family. After engaging Shin'ichi Keibatsu and barely surviving, Bokuzen changed his name to Sagara Mifune, in honor of his fallen mentor. After doing so, Sagara would take on the might of Nekura Manji, surviving due to Muz stopping the fight after noticing the dragon crest on the Mifune’s sword. Afterwards, the battle began to turn against Arcona, leaving Sagara vengeful towards the Keibatsu.

Upon return to the Dajorra System, Sagara received the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and was appointed Quaestor, working alongside Halcyon Rokir. While he held this position, reports and images were shown that brought many to think that Sagara was plotting with the Keibatsu family during the vendetta. While the accusations were cleared, many did not trust Mifune as a loyal Arconan. Intent on seeking revenge on the ones responsible, Sagara went Rogue to exact his vengeance on the Keibatsu.

The former Arconan found Manji on the planet of Antei and challenged him once more to a duel. The One-Eyed Dragon would prove himself the victor and under instructions from Musashi, brought the Mifune before the family. After analyzing the sword, Muz decided to bring Sagara to the planet of Tarthos, convinced that he may have discovered another family member. While on Tarthos, Mifune participated in a dueling competition held amongst the members of Clan Naga Sadow, taking first in the competition. Watching his progress, Muz decided it was time to put theory to the test.


The Keibatsu Saga

Taking the Knight under a high level of confidence, Muz brought Sagara to the planet of Kyataru, the home of the Keibatsu. Along with the entire family, Sagara began to learn more and more about the family and their origins. Once they had arrived to Kuroshin Castle, they began to make their way to the ruins of the Keibatsu homestead. Making their way down into the ruins, Sagara picked up what looked like a communication device, which confirmed his DNA to match that of Shikyo Keibatsu. He also learned that the sword he thought belonged to his former master had belonged to him all along. Accepting the truth, Sagara took on his true name and returned a Keibatsu and loyal member of Naga Sadow.

Shikyo 26 ABY

Returning to the Orian system, Shikyo began his ascension amongst the leadership ranks of his new clan, taking command of the Night Raptors and utilizing them as a stealth strike force in the upcoming vendetta against Clans Scholae Palatinae and Plagueis. It was here that he began to develop many bonds of brotherhood with his fellow clanmates, even being honored with a great warhammer from his friend Eldrad Sin. Assistng with a plan devised by the tacticians of Naga Sadow and Tarentum, they would claim victory over their opponents. However, a disturbance on Kyataru would call Shikyo from one battlefield to another.


Reclamation of Kyataru

Arriving at Kuroshin Castle, Shikyo began to make his way towards the western front, approaching the first castle. Combining the strength of the armies of Xia Long, Manji, and Shikyo, the battle caused General Mieji to retreat from his base and regroup with those of General Misoshime. After routing the armies, they moved towards the remains of the Keibatsu homestead. It was here that they encountered General Tokumitsu and with the assistance of Shimura Keibatsu, were able to push him back towards the southern front.


Shikyo's Yoshimitsu Toshiro katana

With a moment to rest during the campaign, Shikyo began to get more acquainted with his older brother before continuing on, killing General Mieji and moving south towards Generals Tokumitsu and Kamateru. Before the battle began, they received new reinforcements of Nihilgenia from Ashia Kagan. With the two generals defeated, the Keibatsu family attempted negotiations for the surrender of the enemy forces led by Nagahide. The negotiations failed and in return, the Keibatsu struck in full force again Nagahide, wiping out his forces and forcing an unconditional surrender. While raiding through Nagahide’s castle, Shikyo claimed a sword set that had formerly belong to the Keibatsu family, as well as many bottles of fine Kyataran rice wine. As soon as the spoils of war were claimed, the Keibatsu returned to assist in the 7th Great Jedi War.


The Naga Sadow Saga

Upon rejoining the Night Raptors, Shikyo demonstrated astounding skills in espionage, leadership, and Force knowledge. For all of this, he was promoted to Sith Warrior and appointed to the position of Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. He assisted in aerial raids to assist Clan Naga Sadow during their campaign, and helping to bring an end to the war for his clan. Afterwards, the Sith returned to Kyataru for intense training in the Force and in sword arts, receiving the title of “Wolf of Kyataru” from his eldest sibling.

After claiming a new flagship, the Consul, Proconsul, and Quaestors of Naga Sadow disappeared without any trace. With the head leaders gone, Shikyo and his fellow Aedile, Xayun Erinos, answered the call of Darth Vexatus to reclaim the true Sword of Sadow from the former home system of the clan, the Phare system. With the VSD Covenant under their command, the three gathered the clan together to engage the forces of the Emperor’s Hammer.

Shikyo and Nekura landed on the planet’s surface and engaged recruits and security systems placed by their adversary. There, they claimed any items of importance while Vexatus moved to retrieve the sword. Once he had claimed it, the Aediles and the higher Equites assisted with the retreat, holding back the incoming forces. With the higher leaders returning to the clan, the forces pulled out of the Phare system. Due to his actions during the engagement, many in the clan referred to Shikyo as the “ass kicker of the Phare system.”

Returning from the Phare system, Derev appeared changed by the events that had occurred. After stepping down from the position, Shikyo ascended to the command of House Marka Ragnos and began to train the Journeyman for a new Rite of Supremacy with Ylith Atema. However, a distress call from Kyataru would take the Sith’s attention, as well as a disturbance felt from the Unknown Regions. With the situation on Kyataru slightly settled, the Equite traveled to the Unknown Regions to investigate the disturbance. What he discovered was a planet of low-level Force sensitives, taking Faeril Munlear from that planet.

Acknowledging his many adventures and neglect to duties, Shikyo stepped down to allow his former master, Quejo Drakai, to assume the position of Quaestor. With more time on his hands, Shikyo began to delve deeper into the Sith arts by traveling to the Sith Arts Academy on the planet of Thule with Faeril. It was here that Shikyo encountered the Headmistress, Drevveka Hoctu. Her means of instructing through heavy usage of the Force for survival taught the Keibatsu many ways of manipulating the Force. These lessons also affected the look of his eyes during times of extreme duress, changing them to a deep crimson color.


Shikyo 28 ABY

The Herald Saga

After training extensively, Shikyo would rejoin his clanmates for the Rite of Supremacy and was there when the Force-devoid aliens began their assault on Antei. With no experience against an enemy such as the Aliens, the Keibatsu only managed to kill a few and evaded many he encountered. Disheartened by the fact he had to retreat, Sasuke’s aggression and training reached an all time high. He furthered his knowledge of the Sith arts, as well as refining his lightsaber skills. During the time after the Battle of Antei, the Herald had gone missing. As soon as he could, Shikyo went before the Grand Master, Darth Sarin, and proved his worth to him to take up the mantle of Herald.

This provided access to Shikyo on the knowledge of infusing the dark side in lightsabers, helping him to learn greater abilities in the Force. It was during his tenure as Herald that the Keibatsu began to seek knowledge with a passion, turning him from the ways of the Sith and towards those of the Krath. With Antei still occupied, Shikyo continued to train and perfect his sword arts on Misahide Castle on Kyataru.

When the Grand Master called for his Council and informed them of the plan to retake Antei, Sasuke awaited eagerly to prove his might against the horde that had previously swarmed their home. However, Shikyo was surprised to find droids and Jedi in place of the Aliens. Angered that the Jedi had taken away his chance at revenge, the Herald decided to go to the planet’s surface in clearing the Dark Hall of the filth that had taken it. It was here that he confronted both a dying Alien slayer as well as a Kel Dor Jedi Master.


Satisfied with the death of both, the Keibatsu continued to move towards the Dark Hall, securing its treasures from possible destruction. With his eldest brother on the Iron Throne, Sasuke returned to the Orian system and got re-acquainted with the members of the clan. During a night of drinking, Shikyo was taken captive by a female Jedi, along with a couple of Aliens accompanied by members of the Peace Brigade. As a group of dark Jedi from the clan moved to rescue the Herald, Shikyo had taken advantage of the chaos they had stirred, killing the three Aliens unarmed and taking the female Jedi back to Misahide in the hopes of turning and training her.

Shikyo's swords and Award Weapons

The Elder Saga

After capturing the female Jedi, a call was sent out to the Dark Council to return to their home clans for an upcoming vendetta on a distant planet known as Salas V. Though hesitant to return to Naga Sadow, he returned to the clan and fought alongside their new members, acting as an advisor to the leadership. While on the battlefield, he had fought against numerous Dark Jedi he once fought along side and even trained under. For his guidance and assistance to the members of Naga Sadow, the Sons deemed him worth to bear the title of Son of Sadow. As soon as his services were no longer required, he returned back to Kyataru to a mission of extreme importance.


Shikyo's twin "Silver Wolf" pistols

Converting the female Jedi named Eliria Krishnaya over to the Dark Side, Shikyo utilized the young woman’s knowledge to obtain information from the New Republic. One of the things he obtained were various files of Jedi Order members. As he was finalizing the information obtained, he felt a disturbance in the Force, soon after receiving a vision. The young woman had been captured during a mission and held in the bowels of the Sith Arts Academy.

Returning to the nightmare he faced as a Sith Warrior, Shikyo encountered a new Headmaster along with new disciples at the Academy. Defeating all who stood before him, the Herald took on the Headmaster, an Adept by the name of Tu’rak Haimon, in an area newly developed in the Academy known as the Headmaster’s Sanctuary. During the battle, the Adept had done heavy damage to the Pontifex, burying the Keibatsu’s own saber into his ribs, as well as throwing him into a granite wall. Through his training under the Dark Lord of the Sith, the Kyataran was able to defeat his opponent and was ascended to the rank of Dark Side Adept for his devotion and commitment to the Brotherhood.

Though he had the powers of the Elder Class, Shikyo felt it was more necessary to keep his abilities and identity hidden from the rest of the galaxy. Utilizing Eliria as his hand and replacing his swords for blaster pistols, the Herald had changed his mindset from his more Kyataran beliefs to something more conventional. Training alongside the Nihilgenia, he obtained a higher level of skills and greater proficiency with blaster weaponry.

Shikyo on Salas V

The Betrayal Saga

During a routine enforcement on one of the islands of the Kane’ohe Archipelago, Shikyo lost contact of Eliria and to this day has not determined her fate. He investigated her disappearance before eventually leading to a connection between security breaks occurring within not only Kyataru but also within the Sepros system. Returning to CNS-controlled space, the Keibatsu made the discovery that a couple of Jedi remaining from the Battle of Antei were breaching security in an effort to attack members of the Dark Council and Dark Summit. His investigation led him back to a battle ruined San Korinar where he discovered that his former fiancée, Sakuya Koyotai, had been alive all along and had become a Jedi Master.

It was here that he learned of the fate of Eliria Krishnaya; that she had been converted to the light by Koyotai and was serving as her Padawan. Though the Jedi had escaped before the Keibatsu could deal with them, Shikyo began to make preparations to track them down and exterminate them. However, he was called away by his eldest brother to re-establish business connections that the Brotherhood had used in order to maintain their financial security. While on one of his missions in Coruscant, the Elder was attacked by two members of Clan Naga Sadow’s Black Guard. Enraged at the attempt on his life from his former Clan, the Keibatsu sought out the Overlord of Naga Sadow.

Using the Force and his connection to track down Tron Sadow in his estate, Sasuke confronted the Dark Jedi Master and his family as to why the Guardsmen had attacked him. Sensing the anger and confusion in Tron, Shikyo left with a warning to kill the Overlord if another attempt on his life was made. Uncertain of who in the Clan would attempt to assassinate him, Shikyo removed the title of “Sadow” from his name and continued on his mission for the Iron Throne.
