―Jade Serpents Motto

A battle team in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, serving House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow.

History

The history of the Jade Serpents can be drawn back to before the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was founded, all the way back to 10 BBY. The history begins with a small group of mercenaries on the planet Concord Dawn. The local gangs were continually attacking a rural farming village. Whether for combat training or to please their sick and twisted humor, the village’s children did not know. All they knew was that they could not eat many nights because the evil Gang Leader Grogg, a Gammorian, charred their cropland, or that they couldn’t spend time with their fathers because he had to replant all of the lost plants.

Concord Dawn

Nevertheless, the Grogg attacks continued over the years. Even as the children of the village grew into strapping young men, the raids never ceased. The anti-Grogg sentiment in the town was strong. Finally, all of the male children had had enough. Now grown men, they bonded together and became a murderous gang. Their goal was to eliminate every one of Grogg’s gang members they saw. They became vigilantes in their hometown, and were regarded as heroes.

Over time, they transformed from the valiant defenders of their homeland into a mercenary group. The five men from a farming town became submerged into the criminal underworld, killing for hire. All they had were low-quality blaster pistols and a basic set of armor, but they soon became feared throughout Concord Dawn and its criminal groups. They were the most revered mercenaries in the entire planet, and people spoke of them as such.

One day, a young Dark Jedi was on a reconnaissance mission to Concord Dawn. While taking a break and having a drink at a small tavern, he heard the hushed whispers about the respected criminal gang. Upon returning to his home in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Kharon Daragon reported his findings to the summit. Per his authority as Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh, he founded a battle team named after the highly feared group from Concord Dawn. He named his battle team the Night Death Phyle.

The team, as with its namesake, quickly became notorious throughout Clan Naga Sadow. Even though starting out with the basic goal of proficiency in hand-to-hand combat and basic weapon skills, they evolved into the best special operations unit in the clan. When Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura became Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh he changed the name of the battle team to the Jade Serpents. This is unknown.

The Jade Serpents continue to hold up this mantle to this very day. Under the leadership of Krandon Rowella, the team is prospering and carries out the will of the Dark Council and summit of Clan Naga Sadow.

Identity

Jade Serpents Ring

As every new battle team leader is appointed to his position, he is given possession of a fine ring. It was designed by the Herald for use by former Tetrarch Ashia Kagan Keibatsu. A battle team leader is expected to be wearing this ring at all times, both as a sign of their office and to uphold tradition.

Upon indoctrination into the Jade Serpents, a prospective member is given a small scar on the members shoulder. The scar is very simple, the letters JS. This is used to identify a Jade Serpents member, as well as a constant reminder that when you are considered a Jade Serpent, you are and forever will be a Jade Serpent.
