| Given the choice to join the Brotherhood and serve its will or die with the rest of his gang crew, Driftan took the obvious survival route. Now, as a new member of [[Clan Arcona]], this former gang member looks to find a place where power, wealth and fame come to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.
| | Driftan is a former [[Praetor]] to the Master-at-Arms, a former [[Aedile]] of House Arcona, and a former [[Magistrate]] to the [[Deputy Grand Master]]. His aloof and determined demeanor, along with his notable strategic expertise and cunning, mark him as a man not worth crossing. A loyal, albeit ambitious, member of Arcona, Driftan continues to seek out more areas to expand his influence and expertise. |
|
| |
|
| Known by many as an outgoing, gregarious, winsome individual, Driftan Housan is often plagued by nagging thoughts of doom and the eventual fate that surely awaits him around some dark corner. This gang member and smuggler turned Dark Jedi finds himself in a precarious situation with the tentacles of the Dark Side luring him ever more into the dark recesses of his own soul.
| | A life-altering event during his elevation to [[Sith Warrior]] has marked and changed the man's physical appearance and his personality. Once a gregarious, out-going member of Arcona, Driftan has found himself turned inward towards his own studies and improvements. Time will only tell if the changes brought out during the Transfiguration will lead to the ultimate reward or his eventual demise. |
|
| |
|
| Unlike most members of the Brotherhood, Driftan has often had to rely heavily upon his ability to talk his way out of a situation or win people over with his charming personality. Because of his average height and stature, Driftan does not inspire much fear in people that cross his path, so being more cunning or deceptive has served this rogue well over the years. The interesting choice that Driftan faces now is the lure of destructive power over his tried and true method of winning people over to his side. Only time will tell if the Dark Side is able to completely consume this young Dark Jedi and turn him into one of the dark and destructive Jedi’s of history past.

| | ==== Makashi ==== |
| | The finesse and style of the Second Form is what persuaded Driftan to begin learning this somewhat limited form.

Character History
Life on Kuat
Born to Devon and Lusian Housan of Kuat in 4 ABY, Driftan was brought into the galaxy during a tumultuous and dangerous time for the planet of Kuat. The Second Battle of Kuat welcomed Driftan into life, and the Third Battle of Kuat reminded Driftan at even a young age that this is a dangerous galaxy where only the strong and cunning thrive or survive.
Driftan's father was a machinist and supervisor with Kuat Drive Yards, specializing in custom ships for wealthy patrons.

From a young age Driftan's father was mentoring him to take his place as a supervisor within the Drive Yards, but even at a young age Driftan had dreams of his own.
Red Hawks
Into the Arms of the Brotherhood
Following a mission he had just completed for the Red Hawks, Driftan was led by an unknown Dark Jedi to the planet of Arconae Primus. Once there, Driftan and his crew were captured by three members of House Qel-Droma. Three of Driftan's crew were immediately executed, with Driftan being given a deadly choice of whether to live or die. It was at this point that Sanguinius Tsucyra, one of the Dark Jedi holding Driftan captive, gave him a choice to either kill his crew member and join the Brotherhood or die at the hands of the Jedi. The decision was obvious for a man who grew up looking out for himself, and at this point Driftan made his descent into the Dark Side of the Force.
The Journeyman Years
Driftan was often noted for his ambition and determination in his desire to find favor with his masters. Whether it was in the field of battle or completing various quests and projects for the House and Clan Summits, Driftan was often selected to prove his worth within the unit. It was here that he caught the attention of Sashar Arconae and Celahir Erinos, two men who would prove vital to Driftan's continued growth and developing as a Dark Jedi.
The Transfiguration
As the Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, Driftan was sent on a mission to figure out why a mass exodus had occurred within Clan Arcona. Sent on the mission by Consul Sashar Arconae and Proconsul Celahir Erinos, the Dark Jedi Knight was eager to prove to his superiors that he was ready to enter into the ranks of the Sith Equites.

Makashi
