'''Kazmir "Tyre" Natas''', is a [[starwars:Force-sensitive|Force-sensitive]] [[starwars:Thyrsian|Ech]][[starwars:Echani|ani]] [[starwars:male|male]] who currently serves as the [[Quaestor]] of [[House Dinaari]] of [[Clan Taldryan]] at the rank of [[Obelisk Prelate]]. Born on [[starwars:Thyrsus|Thyrsus]] in [[starwars:15 ABY|15 ABY]] - in anything but ''ideal'' situations - to a Thyrsian father and Echani mother, parents he has never met, or known. The young boy was left for dead on the streets until he was found, and raised as heir to a local Thyrsian nobleman. His life on Thyrsus was unremarkable, and he was quickly drawn to exploring the [[starwars:The Galaxy|galaxy]] in search of an understanding for his abnormal [[starwars:The Force|powers]]. Finding his way to the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] where he was taken in by Taldryan, Kazmir quickly rose to become a trusted and highly decorated Taldryanite and that despite lacking years of formal training in the [[starwars:Dark Jedi|Jedi]] way.
==Character History==
===Innocence lost {15 ABY - 32 ABY}===
[[File:Young Tyre.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Portrait of "Tyre" - 20 ABY - Age 5]]
The story of Kazmir begins many years before his birth, in 32 BBY to be exact, '''Sorin Natas''' was a [[starwars:Sun Guard|Sun Guard]] [[starwars:captain|captain]] in the service of [[starwars:Darth Plagueis|Plagueis]]. A dedicated and decorated warrior who presumably lost his life during the nuclear attack on the [[starwars:Sojourn|Hunter's Moon]]. Later evidence suggests that Sorin was mildly Force-sensitive, though not to an extent to use the [[starwars:The Force|Force]] to produce external effects, merely being gently guided by it. Both Sorin and his son '''Carreal''', who held a stronger connection to the Force, would fail to foresee what their progeny would become. Also a Sun Guard, Carreal quickly blazed through the ranks of their society, undoubtedly with the assistance of the Force. Force-sensitivity was uncommon in Echani-blood, even more so in Thyrsian. Despite being a Sith-cult at the time, the Sun Guard was known to viciously hunt down any of their own Force-sensitive kin; most likely in an offering to their Sith masters as a potential acolyte or otherwise to be trained as specialist soldiers.


[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umbara Umbara]
Born out of a joining of a Thyrsian father and an Echani mother, the boy was considered an abomination even before his birth. Precisely why his father had chosen an Echani mate is unknown to this day. Kazmir's life was difficult from the day of his birth, born with pale skin, and light hair upon his scalp, signs of the Echani blood flowing in his veins. The baby was dumped into the streets of Thyrsus, left to fight for his life. In a twist of fate the baby was found by a Thyrsian [[starwars:noble|noble]], sauntering the street out of sheer boredom. He gave the baby the name '''Tyre''' which meant ''lost one'' in an obscure dialect. Most of Thyrsus held a severe disdain to their Echani cousins, why this noble adopted Kazmir and raised him like his own son was an enigma. Rumors spread later that the noble had lost his son to a disease, others said he got killed in a mission for the Sun Guard.  


Born a "cursed child" and raised in a noble environment, Kazmir held severe contempt for those around him. Being mocked on a daily basis by other children, the young Echani frequently got himself into small-scale brawls and other assorted troubles. Instinctively learning the way of [[starwars:Echani(martial art)|Echani]], as if he had inherited the memories of his forebears, the young boy exacted a bloody vengeance on all that ridiculed him. Impressing his "father" in all the wrong ways, the young child was sent to boarding school from an early age to learn the more delicate arts of society.
Separated from his father in an environment that was unknown to him, living with children that treated him exactly the same as those that had perished, left their scars on the unripe tenderfoot. Though he had excelled at academics and was noted to be remarkably strong for his tender age, he recurrently got into trouble and faced expulsion more often than not.  Realizing that the boy would need a secure hand to guide him, his father started to regularly drop by the college to discuss how his son felt, though it only had marginal effects in the long run. Before the situation got more out of hand, a private psychiatrist was hired to help Tyre deal with his emotional turmoil. Over time the situation progressed in meager, but noticeable steps. Being picked on less and less had allowed the young boy to further his academic endeavors, more often than not finishing top of his respective class.


</td>
After graduating top of his class at the tender age of 17, the adopted noble was given the freedom to travel around the sector by his father. Initially traveling to uncover more about his latent Force-sensitivity. On one of such travels, the adolescent found himself in the company of small-scale underworld organizations. While in the company of smugglers, pirates, and slave traders, he found himself to be in a troublesome situation. His liberation came from an unexpected corner of the Galaxy when a group of old folks crashed landed their antiqued ship close to the underworld den. No sooner had the den been turned to a place of primordial chaos,slaves and their holders running for their lives as the embers of their lives were extinguished in an all purging maelstrom of force and death. Where the other scum and villains had either fled the scene or died an unsightly death, Kazmir stood in place, with a raised head, and utterly calm. After searching and retrieving whatever they had come for, one of the party crashers gave the order to equalize the building with the ground. Kazmir managed to grab the attention of the group, and when one of them had approached him, and initially mock him for being a ''lucky little runt'', did they sense something more about the teen; he strong in the Force, at least strong enough to take with them for a new life...

Utilizing his talents for academics and his drive to be perfect in any endeavor he partook in, Kazmir blazed through the [[Shadow Academy]] at a record pace. Becoming one of the youngest members to hold no less than five [[Dark Side Degrees|degrees]] in multiple fields of study. Kazmir had felt an unfamiliar warmth in the academy, the other students were just like him, they didn't treat him any different than they would another of their own kind. He wouldn't consider the bonds he made there friendship but something along the lines of ''companionship''. Rolling out of the academy, he was placed in [[Taldryan|House Taldryan]] where, much to his surprise, he sensed powerful, distinct, yet ultimately, familiar presences in the [[starwars: Force Sense|Force]]; an ability that he had excessively honed during his time in the academy. Upon exploring the society of Taldryan, he had found out that it was indeed the '''Old Folks Home''' that had been his surprising liberators, and entry into the life that he had been destined to lead.

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/14_ABY 14 ABY]
Needing virtually no time to adjust, or get used to his new life as a [[starwars:Dark Jedi|force]] of darkness. The young Echani, who was only fifteen, was sent to a newly discovered [[Salas V|planet]]. As a new, and unknown face in the [[DJB|Brotherhood]]; he was tasked to infiltrate [[Revan|Independent House Revan]] and provide Taldryan with delicate information. However, when the fighting erupted, Kazmir lost contact with his overseeing officer. Left stranded on an unknown planet in the midst of an annihilating [[Spoils of War|slaughter]], surrounded by men and women he did not know, Kazmir made the split decision to join Revan. The young adolescent experienced the horror that was Salas V with his own eyes. Yet he had felt no aversion to it, on the contrary, he indulged in the ever strengthening currents of the [[starwars:Dark Side|Dark Side]] as they ran rampant on Salas V. Though the war ultimately ended in a matter of weeks, Kazmir was unable to make a timely return to Taldryan’s forces and remained stranded in the ranks of Revan.  


Presumed dead by his Taldryan peers he adopted a new identity to continue his training in the Brotherhood. Quickly forming a mutual respecting bond with [[Eiko]], then [[Quaestor|leader]] of Revan, allowed Kazmir unique access to some of Revan’s deepest and darkest secrets. It proved to be a one of a kind chance to look behind the daily mundane work that was the Brotherhood’s surface, deep into the darkest reaches of what a leader was responsible for. Working his way to gain the trust of his Revan peers, Kazmir would receive multiple promotions for consecutive successes, both in high-key missions and in other priority tasks, quickly being [[Dark Jedi Knight|knighted]] and becoming a full member of the Brotherhood. A moment that he had longed for and embraced with open arms. Accepted by the Brotherhood at large, he had now gained access to new information and locations to help him deepen his understanding of the, to him, still mysterious Force. His bond with Eiko meant that Kazmir would work tirelessly under the banner of Revan. Some more highlighted tasks included infiltrating a corporation and redirecting funds, hardware, and laboring forces towards Salas V for the construction of a now defunct outpost. Ultimately, the young Obelisk found his way back to Taldryan where he wrestled back some of the prestige and trust that saw him being tasked with infiltrating [[House Odan-Urr]]. Unbeknownst to Kazmir at the time, the same scenario would happen as when he infiltrated Revan.
=== No one's Equal {34 ABY - 37 ABY}===
[[File:Kazmir Natas.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Kazmir - 36 ABY - Age 21]]
{{Quote|Nothing worth having is easily obtained.|Kazmir to Carissus}}
The horrors of Salas V could best be described as a childish nightmare when compared to what would proceed on [[New Tython]]. Kazmir's darker impulses, his fear, his anger, his passion, he had reveled in them. With every death he witnessed, every deceitful plan that sprung in success, he had felt ultimate joy. He could feel his connection to the Force strengthen, it would have brought tears to his eyes were it not that he had a job to fulfill. [[Tenth Great Jedi War|The war]] came to an abrupt end. On the surface it had been an attempt to unite the different factions of the Brotherhood, guiding them to a cooperative destruction of the light-side pest that was Odan-Urr. However, a much more self-centered story  took place behind the screens. Old nemesis’s had been dealt with, former bonds had been demolished.
The dark-tinted corruption that surfaced during the war did not go unnoticed by the Jedi High Council, and Kazmir was forced to return home to Taldryan during the closing stages.


</td>
For his selfless dedication, and high success rate during high-profile missions. The young Knight soon found himself elevated into the ranks of the [[Equite]] caste. Rising under the mantle of the Obelisk order, the young Taldryanite pursued the path of the assassin with a relentless vigor. With a period of peace burying grudges of old, Kazmir was more than once tasked with missions that would never thrill him as much as what he had done in the past. Yet he pushed onward, for the glory and greatness of Taldryan, in the hope that one day, they'd be the undisputed champions of the Brotherhood. Forming a powerful partnership with [[Rian Aslar]], Kazmir rose to prominence as he zealously pursued a deeper understanding of the Force through constant efforts and signs of dedication to Taldryan. Handling any task he was given by the summit with cold professionalism he was soon charged with guiding the next generation of Taldryanites, in the form of [[Carissus]] as a personal apprentice. Leaving the journeymen to his own devices, forcing the young Hapan to forge his own path, Kazmir set forward to continue his own training. Occasionally he would check up with the elder man, and make some small adjustments in his training regimes as he tried to passively guide him down the perilous paths and currents of the Dark Side. After a long spell of peace that lulled the Brotherhood to sleep, the noble was driven into boredom. This sparked his desire and urge to travel which quickly turned into an adventure on its own accord, one where the Templar managed to learn some exotic abilities. Abilities that he would no doubt put to good use in future conflicts.

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umbaran Umbaran]
Drawn back to the [[Kr'Tal System]] by an encrypted emergency message sent by Rian, Kazmir found the entire Brotherhood in a state of confusion and blood lust. A [[Horizons|plague]] affecting those that touched the Force had rapidly spread through the ranks of the organization, one that threatened to destroy the Brotherhood from within. His time spent during the Horizon crisis was juggled between rounding up Taldryans journeymen, trying to quarantine the danger they could possess, and fighting those that had been possessed. Eventually, Kazmir himself would succumb to the effects of the plague, leading to his own quarantine in the lower structures of Taldryan's Great Hall. Once a cure had been engineered, Kazmir resumed regular activity within the ranks of Taldryan.  


The Horizon crisis was more than just a random attack by a renegade Grand Master, it was part of a bigger plot to eradicate the Dark Brotherhood. A shadowed group of Sith, denouncing the Brotherhood as a heretic order, was behind the assault. In retaliation to this splinter group, the Council of the Brotherhood called out for a massive war, intent on taking the fight to the One Sith.


</td>
The opening assault took place on Krayiss II, a desert planet which held a Library-temple of Ancient Sith construction. Kazmir had a wonderful time here and got out with some minor scrapes. The Crusades then took Taldryan to Rhelg, a winter wonder land where Kazmir got lost in the pine tree forests. Presumed dead, he was given a posthumous promotion. He eventually found his way back just in time for the assault on Ashas Ree. Not much happened here; some minor tussles with a bounty hunter or two. Moving on, they assaulted Jaguada, more sand got into Kaz's underpants and he hated it. So did everyone else. Annoyed by Taldryan's constant bitching, the council sent them to capture Dromund Kaas, hoping that the change of scenery from desert and icy wastelands to lush jungles. It didn't go as planned, but Taldryan prevailed in the end.

After a valiant performance, Taldryan was once again lifted to clan status. Kazmir was given the opportunity to assume direct control one the Brotherhood's most prestigious house in the form of [[House Dinaari]]. Selecting the [[EL3|Dark Prophet]] [[Telaris "Mav" Cantor|Mav]] as his mentor, Kazmir sought to lay down the foundations for Taldryan's rise to prominence once again.

He has since disappeared and left his apprentice [[Arvalis]] in charge. Rumor has it that Kazmir his retired to a quiet little outpost on [[Kalus]]

1.86 m


==Personal Information==
===Physical Appearance===
Standing just under 6'1" and weighting in at about 159lbs, Kazmir is fair-skinned, fairly tall, and is built on the somewhat slender side. Devotion to physical excellence has sculpted his body into an athletic frame, though he does not carry to overall bulk of many of his peers. Due to his genetics, Kazmir sports silver hair, which, for the most of his life has been kept long, although since recently he has gone for a more fashionable shorter cut. His natural eyes had a similar silver hint to them and have, in the past, been described as mesmerizing. Since the horrors that occurred during the invasion of New Tython he has since recently been seen with artisan-quality cybernetic replacements which have a more cyan tint to them.
===Personality===
Described by many as a mysterious individual who hides his true feelings behind an almost constant smile and slitted eyes. Kazmir is a person of incredible resolve, not hesitating to do whatever it takes to complete a mission or defeat an enemy; this stems from his low tolerance for failure, but in himself and in those that are entrusted in his care. Kazmir is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in his beliefs. A hard worker that is generally reserved and anything but arrogant, though he does hold a certain amount of pride in his own abilities and for his Clan.
He masks his feelings and emotions behind a mask of conviction and cold professionalism. Though he rarely speaks, heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Not interested in personal gain, unlike many of his peers, he cares more for Taldryan as a whole. Many find his demeanor rather unsettling.


</td>
Kazmir is very perceptive, observant and intuitive in combat. Fully aware of the limits of his abilities and possessing incredible control over his emotions, he shows surprise only when an enemy proves to be more powerful than expected. Even in such cases he stoically holds his composure, very rarely showing signs of distress or surprise. This dispassionate approach often leads to Kazmir feeling alienated from those around him - especially those that thrive on their emotions during combat.
</tr>
===Powers and Abilities===
<tr>
The Echani prides himself on his abilities with a lightsaber, being somewhat of a purist when it comes down to personal combat. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of besting your opponents face to face. This drive to beat opponents up close and personal have seen Kazmir adhere to a rigid physical training regime. As a result, Kazmir holds a surprising amount of strength in his lithe and agile frame, and packs the endurance needed to face down enemies in prolonged duels. Aside from his physical attributes, the young inquisitor also possesses a keen, analytic mind. His understanding of psychology was a deciding factor in pursuing his career, being very adept of interrogation, torture, and manipulation. His skills in drawing information from others is further boosted by his unsettling presence.

[[File:7722robes.jpg|thumb|300px|right|A selection of Kaz robes]]
[[File:7722saber.png|thumb|150px|left|Kazmir's custom saber]]
===Apparel===
Kazmir is know to wear a variety of clothing depending on the situation. Most often he spends his time in Taldryan's ''Tenacity'' robes, aptly named for the Clan's stubbornness to back down. A formfitting black, [[starwars:body glove|body glove]] serves as the first layer of protection. The insulated and airtight body glove wards the young Echani against hazards of a more biological nature. It is known to grant a measure of protection against polluted water and poisonous air. A secondary layer consists of lightly-armored sections: providing protection for the Quaestor's midsection; forearms; hands; and lower legs. The attire comes with a hood and blue accents.


</td>
On rare occasions, Kazmir sports the Sun Guard armor he inherited from his late biological father. The young Echani wears it in memory of his proud warrior heritage. The full suit of armor is constructed from a light [[starwars:duraplast|duraplast]] material, providing ample amounts of protection while only slightly hindering the Obelisk's freedom of movement. Despite the added boons granted by full-body protection, the hampering of his movements is a stumbling block for Kazmir, and he only dons the full regalia when he's certain he'll need the additional armor.

===Weaponry===
With parts gathered during the relentless crusade, some more unusual that the other, Kazmir crafted his own saber. Durable construction, common parts, easily repairable, a proper weapon for a warrior that thrives in the heart of battle.
===Possessions===
Kazmir had in his possession a personal keepsake that takes the form of a [[starwars:Bronzium|Bronzium]] pendant. The exact origins of the pendant are unknown, even to Kazmir himself, which has led to numerous theories being formed by his peers. The crystal that had rested on the pendant for many years is missing, having been transformed into a power source to fuel his saber.

<dd>— Tyre's view on Journeymen
</dd>
</dl>
[[Tyre Arvalis]] is a young [[Dark Jedi Knight]] in [[Revan|House Revan]] and an adherent of the [[Obelisk Order]]. Born in 14 ABY on the planet [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umbara Umbara] , Tyre enrolled into the [[Dark Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] at a very young age. Tyre is known for having deep respect for his superiors, an unwavering sense of loyalty and a strife for perfection. His white hair and his icy-blue eyes signify a distinct [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umbaran Umbaran] heritage. His athletic to muscular build shows the severe training he received in [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]] and [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]].
 
 
 
 
 
 
==  Character History  ==
 
===  The Early Days (14 ABY – 24 ABY)  ===
[[File:Young_Tyre.jpg|thumb|190px|left|Tyre on Umbara]]
Tyre Arvalis had the privilege of being born and growing up in a higher caste family. Unluckily for him, his mother died during child labor, leaving him in the care of an atrocious and bitter old man that he would have to call "Father". From the day he could walk he was excessively trained in the ways of the Umbaran people. When the boy reached the age of 6 his father would start to take him to the various plateau reserves and canyons to further the boys training and sharpen his instincts. Describing these training sessions in the wilderness as savage is an understatement. Tyre would be frequently covered in bruises or suffer from broken bones, a strict policy of his father to toughen his kid up. What started as training drills ultimately ended in Tyre getting left behind in the wild for long stretches of time in order to test the boys will to live and eagerness to survive. Despite the harsh treatment his father gave him, Tyre loved his father deeply and had utter respect for the man and his teachings.
 
Life wasn’t that bad in Tyre’s mind, mostly because it was all he had ever known. However  as a higher caste family they had to make public appearances or attend to official matters with the other families. It was during these times that Tyre actually wished that his father had left him behind in the wild once more. He harbored a deep hatred for the other families, their stiff way of life, their way of speech, their penchant for hiding behind words and hired mercenaries instead of taking care of their problems with their own two hands. Tyre was left in utter disgust for the other families something that his father had noticed and would soon act upon.
 
A few more years passed as Tyre reached the age of ten, and as it was custom for the Arvalis family to brand the heir of the family with the families emblem. Proud of his heritage and his family, Tyre demanded to have the emblem tattooed over his the palms of both his hands. Surprised, but proud of his sons choice his father ritually inscribed his son with the family emblem.  After the tattoo had healed Tyre was once again dropped in the wilderness. Unbeknownst to him, this would be the final time he would see the surface of Umbara.
 
 
 
===  Induction into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood (24 ABY – 31 ABY)  ===
A few months had passed since the last meeting of the families and Tyre had just walked back trough the arches of what he called home returning from another one of his father’s drops. He was surprised when he found his father talking to a pair of dark hooded figures and was even more surprised when those figures called out to Tyre stating that “it is time”.  Tyre didn’t understand but the forced smile on his father’s face raised his suspicion that something was going on. One of the hooded figures raised his hand toward Tyre who suddenly felt a strong force pulling him in, first he was able to resist it but the more time passed the stronger the pull became until his resistance proved to be futile and he was send flying into the cold embrace of the hooded man’s hand,  who firmly gripped him by his throat choking him slowly while a malicious grin rose from under the hood.
 
 
[[File:Tyre_Darkside.jpg|thumb|190px|left|Tyre tapping into the Dark Side]]
His father called out to them stating that this was not part of the deal, however before he could complete his furious exclamation he was flung trough the concrete wall by another of the hooded men. Unable to breath the young boy slowly lost consciousness and passed out. An unknown amount of time passed and the boy woke up on a small ship. Looking outside his window he saw the stars and planets pass by. Shortly after the blast doors to his quarters opened as one of the hooded men from earlier entered and introduced himself to Tyre. The ship was on its way to the bastion of darkness that was the [[Dark Jedi Brotherhood]], more specifically the Yridia system home of [[Tarentum|Clan Tarentum]]. Tyre’s father had made a deal with the Dark Jedi to supply them with new recruits and as a sign of good faith had his own son shipped to them along with other children of the other families on Umbara, or so the man told Tyre.
 
The following  years would prove to be a challenge to the children, even Tyre himself had a hard time adjusting to the ways of the Dark Jedi despite the arduous training he had received since the day he could walk. All those that proved to be weak or dispensable would disappear, only the strong would survive and ascend to be true Dark Jedi. Tyre was noted for being a specimen with an excellent physique and a strong will and thus early days in Clan Tarentum were marked mostly by his stay in the [[Shadow Academy]]. As his physical condition was more advanced than those of the other younglings the [[House Tridens|Tridens]] summit had him take course after course in the prestigious academy of the Dark Side. They were quick to note Tyre’s particular interest in history, receiving a [[Dark Side Degrees|Dark Maven]] a mere week after his arrival. Shortly after Tyre deepened his studies in a more philosophical way studying the different Force cults trough the Shadow Academy’s richly documented archives, it would not take the young boy long or he would again recieve a Dark Maven for his hard work.
 
After a few months of spending his days in the Shadow Academy the other younglings had caught up with his physique and Tyre was allowed to rejoin them in more practical training sessions, something that he was overjoyed with. He never was much of study yet he surprised himself with attaining the two Mavens. Months would pass by swiftly yet to the young Tyre they all felt like they were years, day in day out a heavy regime of courses, training, exercises, that included but were not limited to; spying, survival, hand-to-hand combat, sword combat, usage of blasters. Tyre seemed to have a knack for spying, survival and hand-to-hand combat and his training would further elaborate on these talents. He was called a rising star of darkness and quickly soared through the ranks hitting the rank of [[Guardian]] a few months after being actively deployed by House Tridens. It was around the time of his promotion that the Dark Council had called out the arrival of a new [[Spoils of War|Rite of Supremacy]]. Not letting his talents go to waste the Tarentum summit had Tyre transfer to the [[Revan|Independent House Revan]] to supply Tarentum with information on the house’s movement.

</dl>[[File:Tyre_RoS.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Tyre during the RoS]]
The chaos that came with the outbreak of the war however left Tyre stranded on a [[Salas V|planet]] unknown to him in a House filled with people he did not know. To make matters worse it seemed that Tarentum had cut off all communication with their spy net leaving Tyre to truly be alone, if it were not for the [[Dark Side Adept]] [[Raken]] and [[Grand Master|Grand Master emeritus]] [[Sarin]], the summit leading Revan during the time of the Rite. They took him in with open arms so to speak, accepting the lost youngster as one of their own. Together with the other Revanites, Tyre was able to push trough and survive the numerous battle fields and tests set out by the Dark Council on Salas V, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Killik Killik] infested planet had become more of a living horror then a fight for supremacy. With Tarentum as their first opposers the Rite took a turn for the worst early on. In order to keep up appearances in Revan Tyre had to kill a handful of his former brethren. This however led Tyre to be quickly labeled as a traitor in Tarentum’s eyes.  Having no other choice but to stay with Revan for the duration of Rite of Supremacy Tyre moved on with them. After the first battles of the Rite were fought Revan came out against [[Clan Naga Sadow]] , the battle proved to be long and arduous with many casualties on both sides. Yet again Revan somehow managed to come out on top and continued into the final round of the Rite. [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]] was certainly no push-over and held a long standing reputation as First Clan of the Brotherhood. However they had lost a great deal of their numbers in their battle against [[Arcona|Clan Arcona]] which led Revan to win after a bloody battle. Surprising all the other clans, Revan dominated the battle fields winning each and every challenge that the Dark Council handed them. They would soon stand victorious over the other clans, something that came as a shock to not only the other clans but also to the Dark Council and definitely to themselves.
 
 
 
===  A Brotherhood within a Brotherhood (33 ABY - 34 ABY)  ===
After a dominating victory in the Rite of Supremacy, Tyre, along with his brethren in House Revan received their fair share of rewards. However this would rapidly shift into a drag as the after match of the Rite suddenly saw the Brotherhood fall upon disastrous times. Many Jedi had been killed or unaccounted for, leaving the Brotherhood in a weakened state. It was during this time that Tarentum would start sending assassins after the young man, his betrayal was not to be taken lightly. Believing that the confines of the frigate “deep ice” limited his chances for survival he quickly decided to leave Revan behind and wander space to shake off his assassins. Luckily or unluckily for him he ended up passing through [[Kr'Tal System|Taldryan space]] where he was found and brought before the Taldyran summit. Recognizing the youngster as being a member of Revan, the force that was the cause for their most recent loss in the Rite of Supremacy, they made him into a slave of sorts in the house of [[House Dinaari|Dinaari]] entering in service to the Quaestor [[Voden|Voden Arjin]]. As time passed Tyre started to prove himself to be a valuable asset in the house and Voden started to treat him more as close friend and confidant then as the slave boy that he was given.
 
 
[[File:Tyre_BTL.jpg|thumb|190px|left|Tyre during his time as BTL wearing a shadowcloak]]
Looking back on the first time they met Tyre didn’t think much of the man at first. But he soon grew to respect his superior for his shrewd way of thinking and impressive battle prowess. The two cast aside their differences as they both were dark jedi serving under the same banners. The banner of House Dinaari brought them together but it was the Obelisk way of life that drove them to form a student-master relationship.
Despite the fact that Tyre had grown up receiving combat training more than his father had given him a proper meal. He found that in the presence of Voden his experience and knowledge of battle tactics were meager at best.
 
Voden himself had to put up with the young man’s stubborn, lazy and prankster personality but he soon grew to hold a measure of respect for his apprentice, changing his view on Tyre from a servant to a close friend. It was thus of no surprise that Tyre, with his apprenticeship to the Quaestor, would soon be appointed as the Battle Team Leader of the [[Dark Fire Brigade]], an elite squad within House Dinaari that had given rise to some of the Brotherhood's greatest leaders. After the battle teams latest incarnation under the watchful eye of seasoned veteran [[Halcyon Rokir]], Tyre was faced with a challenge to renew the DFB’s image. Being given this opportunity to prove himself in the eyes of his master, he put in all he had for his rise to glory alongside the Dark Jedi he was given command over.
 
However misfortune struck the young sergeant when he disrespected a high ranking member of House Arcona. Agitated by the way things where heading since that event, Tyre found it best to leave Brotherhood space till things cooled down.
 
 
 
===  Back to basics (34 ABY - Current)  ===
A year since he left Brotherhood space Tyre has recently resurfaced in the ranks of House Revan. Wasting no time he signed up for the [[Aurek Cell]] volunteer corps. Though he has been staying in the shadows for a pretty long time he has recently stepped into the light again ready to assist House Revan, and his true brethren. He has since spent some of his time in the Shadow Academy, deepening his understanding of the Force, the rites of combat and vessels, and has received two additional degrees for his hard work. Other than his work in the academy went on numerous missions in preparation for his [[Jedi Hunter|knighting trials]]. Ultimately it would take Tyre a year to finish his Trials and be promoted to [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. However this was mostly credited to other tasks that the Revan summit had passed on to him. Though he was focused on his trials he dedicated his spare time to finishing those tasks with a vigor and motivation that was praised by all of his superiors.
 
After his knighting ceremony Tyre was tasked with overseeing the construction of a small outpost/training center on [[Salas V]] as ordered by [[Eiko Lanzer]], [[Quaestor]] of House Revan. In preparation of this task he had first started mapping the surface of Salas V, an arduous task that took Tyre quite some time but was relatively successful in. Afterwards he contacted a Salas V based construction company to create the plans and supply the materials and workers. After their task were finished Tyre proceeded to warp their minds to Revans cause and enlisted them for future use. He currently serves as the first overseer of [[Salas V|Epsilon Oros]]
 
 
 
==  Personal Information  ==
 
===  Physical Appearance  ===
Being taught how to fight since the very first day Tyre could walk and being dropped, left to survive on his own in the savage mountains and canyons of Umbara on multiple occasions in his life. Coupled with his extensive training during his stay with Clan Tarentum have left their marks on the young man's body. Since his training started early his body has become adjusted to various levels of physical stress. He is agile and flexible but at the same time strong and enduring. Furthermore he possesses a good hand-eye coordination and a great sense of balance. His additional training in the Brotherhood has only contributed to his physical conditioning. Surprisingly, after a life time of intense training and combat, Tyre bears no scars what so ever. His white hair and piercing icy blue eyes make him an eye-catcher when on the battlefield and since the Rite of Supremacy on Salas V has earned him the nickname "Ghost of Revan". 
 
 
 
===  Personality  ===
Generally Tyre is calm and collected, known to be respectful of those that are superior to him. During relatively peaceful times he can behave laidback to the point of being lazy. This, coupled with his stubbornness, frequently gets on the nerves of his superiors. This is however nothing more than a front to annoy his fellow brethren, in reality Tyre has an inner drive for perfection that can mostly be seen in his studies in the arts of combat and deepening his understanding of the Force, a drive so deep that it borders on zealousness.
 
Ever since his return to Revan his personality has started to go trough a major change. Tyre still remains calm and collected and views everyone around him with the same level of respect that is, until they prove themselves non-deserving of said respect. He has started to step away from the typical Dark Jedi path of being ruthless and cruel and has since taken up a more honorable path. He is able to show a certain kindness and benevolence to the members of Revan that require his help while still not showing any sign of "weakness". For all purposes Tyre had started to consider himself a Grey Jedi, though one that is aligned with the Dark Side of the Force.
He still holds that inner-fire that drives him to succeed in whatever task is at hand, but is able to keep focus on the bigger picture instead of narrowing in on a handful of details.
 
 
 
===  Possessions  ===
‎[[File:MessageObeliskLBlue.gif|thumb|400px|right|Tyre's lightsaber]]
* '''Lightsaber:''' During his knighting trials Tyre was tasked with finding the materials needed to construct his own lightsaber. After journeying back to his home planet he retrieved a family heirloom, a necklace belonging to his mother, which had a large pure white crystal set unto it. After this he continued to travel around in the Expansion rim and gathered the needed materials. Upon his return to the Brotherhood he was told to store the materials for later use and was granted a saber by Eiko. The blade generated by the lightsaber is a very pale blue, almost silver in color. The hilt itself is decorated with a part of the original proposal of House Revan as declared by Sarin and signifies that Tyre is a full-fledged member of House Revan. Further decoration has been placed on the hilt in the form of three blue rings, signifying Tyre's adherence to the Obelisk order. Near the emitter cap, Revan's house glyph is displayed at large.
* '''Clothing:''' Tyre owns multiple sets of clothing and his attire depends on the situation that is at hand.
** ''Combat'': Tyre usually wears a set of Grey Boyna armor into battle with the chest piece covered in a tabard and proudly displaying the Revan house glyph on the back. The armor comes with a utility belt that has two pouches attached at the sides. A vibro-blade is attached to the right elbow which extends his reach and lethality in hand-to-hand combat. The blade spins out from a neutral position and can be locked in place on Tyre's forearm or upper arm. These armored robes are perhaps the one that Tyre most frequently wears due to his current lifestyle.
**''Formal &amp; Informal'': Aside from his armor, Tyre can be seen in "Peacekeeper" robes proudly displaying the Obelisk colors. The clothes consist of the iconic black boots, a black cloak that flows past his knees and a blue inner jacket. The jacket and the cloak can be opened and closed with strappers. While the robes are far from formal and decorated, Tyre prefers function over looks and can be seen in these clothes in circumstances where there is a low chance of battle.

"Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it."
―Kazmir

Kazmir "Tyre" Natas, is a Force-sensitive Echani male who currently serves as the Quaestor of House Dinaari of Clan Taldryan at the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Born on Thyrsus in 15 ABY - in anything but ideal situations - to a Thyrsian father and Echani mother, parents he has never met, or known. The young boy was left for dead on the streets until he was found, and raised as heir to a local Thyrsian nobleman. His life on Thyrsus was unremarkable, and he was quickly drawn to exploring the galaxy in search of an understanding for his abnormal powers. Finding his way to the Brotherhood where he was taken in by Taldryan, Kazmir quickly rose to become a trusted and highly decorated Taldryanite and that despite lacking years of formal training in the Jedi way.

Character History

Innocence lost {15 ABY - 32 ABY}

Portrait of "Tyre" - 20 ABY - Age 5

The story of Kazmir begins many years before his birth, in 32 BBY to be exact, Sorin Natas was a Sun Guard captain in the service of Plagueis. A dedicated and decorated warrior who presumably lost his life during the nuclear attack on the Hunter's Moon. Later evidence suggests that Sorin was mildly Force-sensitive, though not to an extent to use the Force to produce external effects, merely being gently guided by it. Both Sorin and his son Carreal, who held a stronger connection to the Force, would fail to foresee what their progeny would become. Also a Sun Guard, Carreal quickly blazed through the ranks of their society, undoubtedly with the assistance of the Force. Force-sensitivity was uncommon in Echani-blood, even more so in Thyrsian. Despite being a Sith-cult at the time, the Sun Guard was known to viciously hunt down any of their own Force-sensitive kin; most likely in an offering to their Sith masters as a potential acolyte or otherwise to be trained as specialist soldiers.

Born out of a joining of a Thyrsian father and an Echani mother, the boy was considered an abomination even before his birth. Precisely why his father had chosen an Echani mate is unknown to this day. Kazmir's life was difficult from the day of his birth, born with pale skin, and light hair upon his scalp, signs of the Echani blood flowing in his veins. The baby was dumped into the streets of Thyrsus, left to fight for his life. In a twist of fate the baby was found by a Thyrsian noble, sauntering the street out of sheer boredom. He gave the baby the name Tyre which meant lost one in an obscure dialect. Most of Thyrsus held a severe disdain to their Echani cousins, why this noble adopted Kazmir and raised him like his own son was an enigma. Rumors spread later that the noble had lost his son to a disease, others said he got killed in a mission for the Sun Guard.

Born a "cursed child" and raised in a noble environment, Kazmir held severe contempt for those around him. Being mocked on a daily basis by other children, the young Echani frequently got himself into small-scale brawls and other assorted troubles. Instinctively learning the way of Echani, as if he had inherited the memories of his forebears, the young boy exacted a bloody vengeance on all that ridiculed him. Impressing his "father" in all the wrong ways, the young child was sent to boarding school from an early age to learn the more delicate arts of society. Separated from his father in an environment that was unknown to him, living with children that treated him exactly the same as those that had perished, left their scars on the unripe tenderfoot. Though he had excelled at academics and was noted to be remarkably strong for his tender age, he recurrently got into trouble and faced expulsion more often than not. Realizing that the boy would need a secure hand to guide him, his father started to regularly drop by the college to discuss how his son felt, though it only had marginal effects in the long run. Before the situation got more out of hand, a private psychiatrist was hired to help Tyre deal with his emotional turmoil. Over time the situation progressed in meager, but noticeable steps. Being picked on less and less had allowed the young boy to further his academic endeavors, more often than not finishing top of his respective class.

After graduating top of his class at the tender age of 17, the adopted noble was given the freedom to travel around the sector by his father. Initially traveling to uncover more about his latent Force-sensitivity. On one of such travels, the adolescent found himself in the company of small-scale underworld organizations. While in the company of smugglers, pirates, and slave traders, he found himself to be in a troublesome situation. His liberation came from an unexpected corner of the Galaxy when a group of old folks crashed landed their antiqued ship close to the underworld den. No sooner had the den been turned to a place of primordial chaos,slaves and their holders running for their lives as the embers of their lives were extinguished in an all purging maelstrom of force and death. Where the other scum and villains had either fled the scene or died an unsightly death, Kazmir stood in place, with a raised head, and utterly calm. After searching and retrieving whatever they had come for, one of the party crashers gave the order to equalize the building with the ground. Kazmir managed to grab the attention of the group, and when one of them had approached him, and initially mock him for being a lucky little runt, did they sense something more about the teen; he strong in the Force, at least strong enough to take with them for a new life...

The Power of the Dark Side {32 ABY - 34 ABY}

Kazmir - 32 ABY - Age 17

"Learn. Detach. Transcend."
―Kazmir

Utilizing his talents for academics and his drive to be perfect in any endeavor he partook in, Kazmir blazed through the Shadow Academy at a record pace. Becoming one of the youngest members to hold no less than five degrees in multiple fields of study. Kazmir had felt an unfamiliar warmth in the academy, the other students were just like him, they didn't treat him any different than they would another of their own kind. He wouldn't consider the bonds he made there friendship but something along the lines of companionship. Rolling out of the academy, he was placed in House Taldryan where, much to his surprise, he sensed powerful, distinct, yet ultimately, familiar presences in the Force; an ability that he had excessively honed during his time in the academy. Upon exploring the society of Taldryan, he had found out that it was indeed the Old Folks Home that had been his surprising liberators, and entry into the life that he had been destined to lead.

Needing virtually no time to adjust, or get used to his new life as a force of darkness. The young Echani, who was only fifteen, was sent to a newly discovered planet. As a new, and unknown face in the Brotherhood; he was tasked to infiltrate Independent House Revan and provide Taldryan with delicate information. However, when the fighting erupted, Kazmir lost contact with his overseeing officer. Left stranded on an unknown planet in the midst of an annihilating slaughter, surrounded by men and women he did not know, Kazmir made the split decision to join Revan. The young adolescent experienced the horror that was Salas V with his own eyes. Yet he had felt no aversion to it, on the contrary, he indulged in the ever strengthening currents of the Dark Side as they ran rampant on Salas V. Though the war ultimately ended in a matter of weeks, Kazmir was unable to make a timely return to Taldryan’s forces and remained stranded in the ranks of Revan.

Presumed dead by his Taldryan peers he adopted a new identity to continue his training in the Brotherhood. Quickly forming a mutual respecting bond with Eiko, then leader of Revan, allowed Kazmir unique access to some of Revan’s deepest and darkest secrets. It proved to be a one of a kind chance to look behind the daily mundane work that was the Brotherhood’s surface, deep into the darkest reaches of what a leader was responsible for. Working his way to gain the trust of his Revan peers, Kazmir would receive multiple promotions for consecutive successes, both in high-key missions and in other priority tasks, quickly being knighted and becoming a full member of the Brotherhood. A moment that he had longed for and embraced with open arms. Accepted by the Brotherhood at large, he had now gained access to new information and locations to help him deepen his understanding of the, to him, still mysterious Force. His bond with Eiko meant that Kazmir would work tirelessly under the banner of Revan. Some more highlighted tasks included infiltrating a corporation and redirecting funds, hardware, and laboring forces towards Salas V for the construction of a now defunct outpost. Ultimately, the young Obelisk found his way back to Taldryan where he wrestled back some of the prestige and trust that saw him being tasked with infiltrating House Odan-Urr. Unbeknownst to Kazmir at the time, the same scenario would happen as when he infiltrated Revan.

"Nothing worth having is easily obtained."
―Kazmir to Carissus

The horrors of Salas V could best be described as a childish nightmare when compared to what would proceed on New Tython. Kazmir's darker impulses, his fear, his anger, his passion, he had reveled in them. With every death he witnessed, every deceitful plan that sprung in success, he had felt ultimate joy. He could feel his connection to the Force strengthen, it would have brought tears to his eyes were it not that he had a job to fulfill. The war came to an abrupt end. On the surface it had been an attempt to unite the different factions of the Brotherhood, guiding them to a cooperative destruction of the light-side pest that was Odan-Urr. However, a much more self-centered story took place behind the screens. Old nemesis’s had been dealt with, former bonds had been demolished. The dark-tinted corruption that surfaced during the war did not go unnoticed by the Jedi High Council, and Kazmir was forced to return home to Taldryan during the closing stages.

For his selfless dedication, and high success rate during high-profile missions. The young Knight soon found himself elevated into the ranks of the Equite caste. Rising under the mantle of the Obelisk order, the young Taldryanite pursued the path of the assassin with a relentless vigor. With a period of peace burying grudges of old, Kazmir was more than once tasked with missions that would never thrill him as much as what he had done in the past. Yet he pushed onward, for the glory and greatness of Taldryan, in the hope that one day, they'd be the undisputed champions of the Brotherhood. Forming a powerful partnership with Rian Aslar, Kazmir rose to prominence as he zealously pursued a deeper understanding of the Force through constant efforts and signs of dedication to Taldryan. Handling any task he was given by the summit with cold professionalism he was soon charged with guiding the next generation of Taldryanites, in the form of Carissus as a personal apprentice. Leaving the journeymen to his own devices, forcing the young Hapan to forge his own path, Kazmir set forward to continue his own training. Occasionally he would check up with the elder man, and make some small adjustments in his training regimes as he tried to passively guide him down the perilous paths and currents of the Dark Side. After a long spell of peace that lulled the Brotherhood to sleep, the noble was driven into boredom. This sparked his desire and urge to travel which quickly turned into an adventure on its own accord, one where the Templar managed to learn some exotic abilities. Abilities that he would no doubt put to good use in future conflicts.

Drawn back to the Kr'Tal System by an encrypted emergency message sent by Rian, Kazmir found the entire Brotherhood in a state of confusion and blood lust. A plague affecting those that touched the Force had rapidly spread through the ranks of the organization, one that threatened to destroy the Brotherhood from within. His time spent during the Horizon crisis was juggled between rounding up Taldryans journeymen, trying to quarantine the danger they could possess, and fighting those that had been possessed. Eventually, Kazmir himself would succumb to the effects of the plague, leading to his own quarantine in the lower structures of Taldryan's Great Hall. Once a cure had been engineered, Kazmir resumed regular activity within the ranks of Taldryan.

The Horizon crisis was more than just a random attack by a renegade Grand Master, it was part of a bigger plot to eradicate the Dark Brotherhood. A shadowed group of Sith, denouncing the Brotherhood as a heretic order, was behind the assault. In retaliation to this splinter group, the Council of the Brotherhood called out for a massive war, intent on taking the fight to the One Sith.

The opening assault took place on Krayiss II, a desert planet which held a Library-temple of Ancient Sith construction. Kazmir had a wonderful time here and got out with some minor scrapes. The Crusades then took Taldryan to Rhelg, a winter wonder land where Kazmir got lost in the pine tree forests. Presumed dead, he was given a posthumous promotion. He eventually found his way back just in time for the assault on Ashas Ree. Not much happened here; some minor tussles with a bounty hunter or two. Moving on, they assaulted Jaguada, more sand got into Kaz's underpants and he hated it. So did everyone else. Annoyed by Taldryan's constant bitching, the council sent them to capture Dromund Kaas, hoping that the change of scenery from desert and icy wastelands to lush jungles. It didn't go as planned, but Taldryan prevailed in the end.

After a valiant performance, Taldryan was once again lifted to clan status. Kazmir was given the opportunity to assume direct control one the Brotherhood's most prestigious house in the form of House Dinaari. Selecting the Dark Prophet Mav as his mentor, Kazmir sought to lay down the foundations for Taldryan's rise to prominence once again.

He has since disappeared and left his apprentice Arvalis in charge. Rumor has it that Kazmir his retired to a quiet little outpost on Kalus

Personal Information

Physical Appearance

Standing just under 6'1" and weighting in at about 159lbs, Kazmir is fair-skinned, fairly tall, and is built on the somewhat slender side. Devotion to physical excellence has sculpted his body into an athletic frame, though he does not carry to overall bulk of many of his peers. Due to his genetics, Kazmir sports silver hair, which, for the most of his life has been kept long, although since recently he has gone for a more fashionable shorter cut. His natural eyes had a similar silver hint to them and have, in the past, been described as mesmerizing. Since the horrors that occurred during the invasion of New Tython he has since recently been seen with artisan-quality cybernetic replacements which have a more cyan tint to them.

Personality

Described by many as a mysterious individual who hides his true feelings behind an almost constant smile and slitted eyes. Kazmir is a person of incredible resolve, not hesitating to do whatever it takes to complete a mission or defeat an enemy; this stems from his low tolerance for failure, but in himself and in those that are entrusted in his care. Kazmir is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in his beliefs. A hard worker that is generally reserved and anything but arrogant, though he does hold a certain amount of pride in his own abilities and for his Clan. He masks his feelings and emotions behind a mask of conviction and cold professionalism. Though he rarely speaks, heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Not interested in personal gain, unlike many of his peers, he cares more for Taldryan as a whole. Many find his demeanor rather unsettling.

Kazmir is very perceptive, observant and intuitive in combat. Fully aware of the limits of his abilities and possessing incredible control over his emotions, he shows surprise only when an enemy proves to be more powerful than expected. Even in such cases he stoically holds his composure, very rarely showing signs of distress or surprise. This dispassionate approach often leads to Kazmir feeling alienated from those around him - especially those that thrive on their emotions during combat.

Powers and Abilities

The Echani prides himself on his abilities with a lightsaber, being somewhat of a purist when it comes down to personal combat. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of besting your opponents face to face. This drive to beat opponents up close and personal have seen Kazmir adhere to a rigid physical training regime. As a result, Kazmir holds a surprising amount of strength in his lithe and agile frame, and packs the endurance needed to face down enemies in prolonged duels. Aside from his physical attributes, the young inquisitor also possesses a keen, analytic mind. His understanding of psychology was a deciding factor in pursuing his career, being very adept of interrogation, torture, and manipulation. His skills in drawing information from others is further boosted by his unsettling presence.

Apparel

Kazmir is know to wear a variety of clothing depending on the situation. Most often he spends his time in Taldryan's Tenacity robes, aptly named for the Clan's stubbornness to back down. A formfitting black, body glove serves as the first layer of protection. The insulated and airtight body glove wards the young Echani against hazards of a more biological nature. It is known to grant a measure of protection against polluted water and poisonous air. A secondary layer consists of lightly-armored sections: providing protection for the Quaestor's midsection; forearms; hands; and lower legs. The attire comes with a hood and blue accents.

On rare occasions, Kazmir sports the Sun Guard armor he inherited from his late biological father. The young Echani wears it in memory of his proud warrior heritage. The full suit of armor is constructed from a light duraplast material, providing ample amounts of protection while only slightly hindering the Obelisk's freedom of movement. Despite the added boons granted by full-body protection, the hampering of his movements is a stumbling block for Kazmir, and he only dons the full regalia when he's certain he'll need the additional armor.


Weaponry

With parts gathered during the relentless crusade, some more unusual that the other, Kazmir crafted his own saber. Durable construction, common parts, easily repairable, a proper weapon for a warrior that thrives in the heart of battle.

Possessions

Kazmir had in his possession a personal keepsake that takes the form of a Bronzium pendant. The exact origins of the pendant are unknown, even to Kazmir himself, which has led to numerous theories being formed by his peers. The crystal that had rested on the pendant for many years is missing, having been transformed into a power source to fuel his saber.
