| [[Anubis Annedu]] is a [[Dark Jedi Knight]] that currently resides in [[House Ektrosis]], a house he called home on three separate occasions. A man with a troubled path, Annedu has been in several different clans, such as [[Clan Plagueis]] and [[Clan Naga Sadow]], and has been apart of both the Sith and [[Obelisk]] orders. He is fluent in [[starwars:Kinetic_Communication|Kinetic Communication]]. | | '''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. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 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. |

| | = 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. |
|
| |
|
| Annedu has a hard, military personality. Having joined the military at the youngest legal age, he served with his adoptive parents briefly before retiring. Not much else is known about his regular life, only that he ended up on the [[Antei]] moon of [[Lyspair]] and made the trek to the [[Shadow Academy]]. He has served the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] in both battles of Antei, the [[Invasion of Orian]], the [[War of Ascension]], as well as the 2008 Independence Games. He went into self exile several times, but always seems to return to the Brotherhood.
| | == 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. |
|
| |
|
| ==Character History==
| | 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. |
| ===Childhood===
| |
|
| |
|
| The son of a former Dark Jedi that served under [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]] during his early reign as Emperor of the Empire, Anubis was born with a natural but untamed affinity to the [[starwars:Force|Force]]. His father abandoned him at a young age, refusing to put his son through the things that he was forced to live through as one of Palpatine’s servants. Now a refugee, the child eventually ended up on Coruscant in the hands of New Republic Black Operations operatives, who raised them as his own.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| At the age of eighteen, Anubis joined the New Republic Armed Forces, serving with a squad briefly before following his adoptive parent’s lead and becoming an black ops operative. He was a part of several different operations, sculpting his hardcore military attitude and personality. During his last operation before retiring, Anubis was subject to an explosion; a piece of shrapnel piercing his side and requiring an operation; he’d have to live with a single kidney.
| | = 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. |
|
| |
|
| Instead of returning to service, he left the military and was legally discharged. Afterwards, he wandered around Coruscant with several different jobs, before acquiring one at a personal security force. Several years later, he left and eventually ended up discovering his connection to the Force. He left his regular life behind, joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and starting his training as a [[Sith]].
| | === Traditional Mandalorian Equipment === |
|
| |
|
| ===Dark Jedi Brotherhood History=== | | ==== Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam ==== |
| ====First Battle of Antei==== | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Upon reaching the [[Shadow Academy]], Anubis was welcomed with open arms. He was given shelter, and was administered the Test of Lore throughout several days time. When he had successfully passed, he was promoted to the rank [[Apprentice]] and was officially inducted into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Wearing a new set of robes, he awaited for a transport that would take him to his designated clan; [[Clan Taldryan]]. Upon landing on the forest planet, he was greeted by several members, such as [[Vodo Biask|Vodo Biask Taldrya]] and [[Hel-Pa Taldrya Sklib]], who had yet to earn their clan titles.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| After getting settled into the daily routine, he had several long conversations with [[Alanna Taldrya]] about who would supervise him and show him the ways of the Brotherhood. Eventually, a [[Sith Battlemaster]] was selected and he began to show the Apprentice the ropes. Several days later... the war broke out. The [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]], a species from another galaxy, had started they're incursion into known space, hunting down Jedi. With their [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]]-hunting Voxyn, the eventually located Antei and it's occupants. The awards cerimony for the recent Rite of Supremecy had just concluded, when the attack began. At the time, Anubis was present on the [[VSD Dark Prophet|Dark Prophet]], a Victory-class Star Destroyer that belonged to Taldryan. The nine hundred meter long Taldryan flagship moved itself into position to defend the rest of it's ally fleet, while they retreated. Annedu had been part of a defensive party, brandishing a standard E-11 blaster rifle throughout the ordeal. When the initial wave of Yuuzhan Vong [[starwars:Coral Skippers|Coral Skippers]] arrived at the cruiser, nearly the ship's entire complement of fighter craft was launched.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| A gruesome battle had started, between whatever was left behind of the Brotherhood fleets, and the fleet of the Yuuzhan Vong. When the first boarding parties arrived, Annedu was on the front lines. Still completely new to the [[starwars:Force]] and it's nature, therefore unable to use it in the slightest. [[starwars:Warrior Caste|Warrior Caste]] members flooded into the venteral hanger of the Star Destroyer, and the close-combat battle had begun. The first wave of Dark Jedi colided with the Vong, their amphistaffs blocking the [[starwars:Adegan|Adegan]] blades of the Force Users and allowing them to be cut down twice as easily. Losing his right arm during the brawl, the loss of blood knocked the [[Obelisk]] warrior unconscious. He later regained consiousness several hours later in a medical bay, aboard the [[VEN Katarn|Katarn]], a Venator-class Star Destroyer that also belonged to [[Clan Taldryan|Taldryan]]. Annedu was greatly disapointed to know that he and several others were the only ones to make it from the Prophet to the Katarn alive, but knew that some things just happened for a reason.

|
| The war raged on for several days, before [[Sarin|Darth Sarin]] called a Brotherhood-wide retreat. The clans all gathered waht they could, before leaving Antei; and the Shroud itself. Anubis left [[House Ektrosis]], instead transfering over to House Archanis. He met several new people, and even became friends with one or two of them, before leaving the clan all together and joining [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and enlisting in the Sadowite forces.

|
| Anubis encountered the [[VSD Covenant|Covenant]], the only remaining Naga Sadow ship and their former fleets flagship, on his way to the [[Orian System]]. He enlisted in their ranks, officially moving from Clan Taldryan to Clan Naga Sadow. During his first several days he had been assigned to Horus Blackheart, a Battlemaster within [[House Ludo Kressh]], before becoming one of two apprentices to serve under [[Ashia|Ashia Kagan Keibatsu]], Kressh's [[Quaestor]]; Davin Olar being the other. The now [[Guardian]] got to know his new family well, being promoted to the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]] just as Sadowite forces entered the Orian System.

|
| A great surprise had been awaiting them, however. The [[True Brotherhood]], a splinter faction that believed themselves to be better then the Dark Brotherhood, and enemies of Clan Naga Sadow, had taken control over the system with their much newer Star Destroyer. The Hunter learned that the True Brotherhood and Naga Sadow had gone at it once or twice before, and this was simply the leftovers. [[Macron|Macron Goura]], the clan's Consul, ordered an attack on the system to regain their home. Anubis worked with [[Tsingtao Ming]], a friend, travelling with him to a station located in one of the asteroid belts. After spending a day there, Anubis then made his way to [[Sepros]], where the Sadow Palace had been located. Anubis completed a recon mission for his clan, traversing across a wide distance in search of an enemy camp. When he located one; and was discovered, he made a break for it, Tsingtao being the only thing that saved his skin. When he returned to the palace he presented his findings, leaving once more for [[Tarthos]] to assist his fellow Dark Jedi, such as [[Nero Shiran Pendragon|Nero Pennant]] and [[Syrus Korodin|Shuang Long]] in their efforts to protect the Ragnos Cathedral. When he arrived on the cold planet, the True Brotherhood had already begun their assault on the stronghold.

| Joining forces with Long and Pennant, the three took to the air to try and help their allies. When their fighter was shot down, the three of them took to the ground. It was here, that Nero accidentally sliced off the lower half of his left leg, rendering him nearly useless for the rest of the battle. For an hour, they fought to keep their hold, when a radio transmission sent from the True Brotherhood's Star Destroyer, ordered them to stand down. They did so, and the battle for the Orian System had come to a close. Not too long afterwards, Anubis discraced himself infront of the entire clan, shooting off insults and using inapropriate language towards his master. The aftermath led him to put himself into complete self exile, leaving his fellow Sadowites and traveling around the known galaxy.
| | ===== 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. |
|
| |
|
| ====First Exile====
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Becoming an exile from the Brotherhood and joining the [[Rogue|Rogues]], Anubis left Brotherhood space, returning to the galaxy as a regular citizen. He traveled to [[starwars:Bastion|Bastion]], the Imperial Remnant homeworld, where he joined forces with the [[starwars:Imperial Remnant|Remnant]] to offer them his skills, as well has his loyalty. Starting off as a plane-jane Stormtrooper, he made the slow and extruciating crawl to Stormtrooper Elite, which took several months, before taking a leave of absence for an lengthy amount of time. It was not stated in his report where he was going, only that he'd be gone for a single standard month.
| | ===== 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. |
|
| |
|
| Free of the Imperial's grasp for now, Annedu returned to studying the Force. He completed his exersices as a Jedi Hunter over and over again, before making a brave and most likely stupid move. With the [[starwars:Hyperspace|Hyperspace]] coordinates set, he traveled to the dead world of [[starwars:Korriban|Korriban]], homeworld of the original Sith, in hopes that he could learn more about their culture. Arriving on the barren surface of the ancient world, he stood in the [[starwars:Valley of the Dark Lords|Valley of the Dark Lords]], literally able to feel the Dark Side energies that the place produced. Although it was in complete ruins, the Dark Side flowed greatly in this place. It was a possible [[starwars:Dark Side Nexus|Dark Side Nexus]], which would explain why the Sith of old had remained here for so long before their retreat into unknown space. Upon inspection, the Hunter discovered that all four of the tombs had been completely sealed off, by debris or other means. While this complicated things for the Lorrdian, it didn't mean that he couldn't try to enter the old academy that resided there.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The Sith of new did attempt to enter the old academy, and failed. It too had been sealed off. The only remaining opening was the Shyyrk Cave, which he did not dare enter. He was neither experienced or wise enough to attempt such a thing. On his way back to his craft, he passed the skeletal corpse of a [[starwars:Sith Trooper|Sith Trooper]], rusted armour still donned on the being. He thought nothing of it, instead leaving the planet, as there was nothing there for him. He had wasted his time, learning nothing on the trip. Returning to the Imperial Remnant, he resumed duty, doing his best to keep his [[starwars:Force Sensitive|Force Sensitivity]] a secret from the others. If it was discovered that he could feel the Force, and had actually used it on more then one occasion, it might have turned out very bad for him. While protecting a convoy, Annedu was attacked; his entire convoy being either killed or captured, by who - it was not known. He awoke several hours later, chained to a chair.
| | 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. |
|

|
| Trained to resist interrogation techniques, it was hard for the interrogators from the unknown faction to gain any information from him. The Hunter's hardcore military personality took over, leaving his friendly side behind. Later, after he was brutally assualted for failing to cooperate, he managed to get the upper hold - managing to untie himself from his chair and breaking it over his interrogator's head. Escaping with the man's access card, Anubis accessed the nearest terminal and set the entire building's fire sensors to all go off. With a string of luck... it actually worked, and the entire building was evacuated. Playing the part that he was still a captive, he found that he was not the only person being held here. Several of his teammates, specifically from the convoy he had been protecting, were also subject to interrogations. They too had said little, and Annedu did his best to blend in with them. It wasn't until they got clear of the building, did he realise that he was located on a planet with a heavy metropolis. It might have been Coruscant, but from here he wasn't sure. All he knew, was that he had to get out of there. His mind told him to run, but his instinct told him to wait a little while longer, while one of the guards weren't looking.
| | ===== History ===== |
|
| |
|
| When he found that he was clear, he made a break for it, heading into the nearest alleyway and continuing to run. He heard several raised voices behind him, as well as footsteps following him. He continued to run, turning a sharp corner and placing himself up against the wall; waiting for the men to get close enough that he could make the battle fair. When one of them rounded the corner, Annedu flung out his arm, clotheslining the man with precision. Snapping the man's neck with his foot, the [[starwars:Lorrdian|Lorrdian]] called the man's rifle to his hands with Telekinesis, peeping around the corner and firing several shots at the other approaching man. When he fell, Anubis turn and ran. Later, the Sith acquired transportation off planet at one of the starports, learning that the planet had been [[starwars:Denon|Denon]], the planet that had served as Coruscant's replacement at one point in history and was just as large. Instead of returning to Remnant space like he should have, Annedu went absent without leave, otherwise known as AWOL. He returned to Brotherhood space for a limited amount of time, rejoining Clan Naga Sadow. He became the apprentice of [[Ashura Isradia|Ashura Isradia]] for a time, before once again returning to exile. Shortly afterwards, he joined the Arconans in the [[Dajorra System]]

| | ''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. |

| ==== Arconan Feud ====
| | 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. |

| When Anubis joined Arcona, the clan had just barely been breathing. He brought some activity, and sooner or later former the Arconans came back to life. During his time in [[Clan Arcona]], Anubis continually stayed with [[House Qel-Droma]], serving under a man that would become his [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|master]], as well as a man that would eventually serve on the [[Dark Council]], Orv d'Tana. He later had a discussion with the clan's Envoy, [[Rho d'Tana]], which would end with Annedu filling the vacant position on the House Summit, Rollmaster. The Lorrdian got to know every member that joined the house, as well as a couple of the ones that were already there. After several weeks, he also met members of the other Arconan House, [[House Galeres]]. Some of these members names were [[Legorii Kryotek Entar]], and Talos. The three got along fairly well, Legorii serving Talos in his [[Battle Team]] as his 'Lieutenant' of sorts. Anubis had strong connections to several people in the Clan; at least while it was peaceful.
| | 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. |

|
| When the Arconan Feud broke out, Anubis was confused. His master had not informed him that he was going to use Qel-Droma to attack the Jedi, nor did he even hint at such a thing. He resisted letting his military side takeover, allowing the Xyler to go about his plan as he wished. Still confused, however, the Hunter did as he was ordered to. Word that the other house's Quaestor, Zandro Erinos, had been ordered to capture the Qel-Droman Quaestor and return him to the Clan Summit spread throughout the house's ranks. It eventually ended up at the ears of Quejo, which ordered an immediate attack of the Jedi. He took command of the [[BAC Shadow|Shadow]], the House's ship when sent on independant assignments, and ordered a full attack of the forces that were available to him.

| Leading the Galerians on a wild goose chase, Quejo took the Shadow's best fighter pilots and left, leading them off in a completely different direction then the one he was actually indending to follow. It was unknown to Anubis whether or not his master had actually reached his goal, being that the Hunter had stayed behind on the [[starwars:Bothan Attack Cruiser|Bothan Attack Cruiser]]. The Lorrdian and the cruiser were intercepted by Zandros' forces, to which the Erinos discovered it was all just a cheap trick. Annedu knew that Quejo was eventually captured, however, which brought about the end of the Feud between the two houses. The Sith stuck around for several more weeks, before growing tired of the clan. He left, returning to the place where he had first started.

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.
He is an incredible weaponsmith and Mandalorian Armorer, blending knowledge of arcane forging practices with that of those of the Mandalorians and Perideans.

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.

How to Write
Demeanor
Zxyl is quiet, cold, and a bit calculating. He speaks with purpose, does not surgar=coat what he says (although is still respectful). He is an avid follower of the Way of the Mandalore and Mandalorian Creed, and shows both physical and verbal contempt for those that opt to break the tenants of the Mandalorian Creed. This Dathomirian-Mandalorian always believes his way is best - he is who he is, and that's who he is.
When speaking, Zxyl's always helmet-modulated voice is joined by a dark, ethereal echo similar to that of the Dathomirian Mother Talzin. This was the result of the infusion of Dathomirian Magick into his soul following a fatal blow dealt to him by Tahiri Tarentae during the Immortal Sith roleplaying storyline on his birth world of Dathomir, used to bring him back to life.
The Creed & Way of the Mandalore
Bes'ulii is a follower of the Way of the Mandalore Mandalorian religion. 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.
