| | '''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. |

| '''Anubis Annedu''' is a [[Sith]] [[Sith Warrior|Warrior]] within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. Born and raised on his home planet of [[starwars:Lorrd|Lorrd]], he has a troubled past. He is fluent in [[starwars:Kinetic_Communication|Kinetic Communication]], a form of communication developed by the Lorrdians that doubles as a way to read a person's physical movements to determine emotions. At the age of 18, Annedu enlisted within the Lorrd Military, eventually being picked to join the New Republic Special Forces. He served them until shortly before the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]] [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong_War|Incursion]] of [[starwars:Known_Space|Known Space]]. After leaving the NRSF, Annedu sought out the Brotherhood, joining it's ranks. Since then, has traversed several [[Clan|Clans]], all three [[Order|orders]], and several positions. He currently serves as faithful Aedile of [[House]] [[Taldryan]] with friend and ally [[Shaz'air Taldrya Rathden|Shaz'air Taldrya]], as well as [[Wiki Tribune|Tribune of the Holocrons]] for the Brotherhood at large. The Lorrdian has great ambitions, and plans to use Taldryan to fufill them.
| | 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. |

| | == 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. |
|
| |
|
| == History ==
| | 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''. |

|
| === Before Darkness ===
| | 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. |

| Although his mother died during child birth, Anubis manaaged to survive the process. With two older siblings, his father found it difficult to pay for refuge for all four of them unless a large job came up. He worked as an engineer for one of the major corportations on Lorrd, and was often paid only when he completed a job. Working full time, he relied on the oldest of his children to care for the other two. For most of his childhood, Annedu went without very much attention. This would affect him later, when he began to lash out soon after becoming a teenager. He was heavily disciplined for any wrong doing, and sent to a military camp between school years several times. During his childhood, he was taught the rare
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The Lorrdian eventually started to resent his father and older siblings, for forcing him into a military life. He had never intended for such a thing, instead wishing to become a freighter pilot. Still, he abided by the wishes of his family, and kept himself in tip-top shape, adjusting to the strict lifestyle that was waiting ahead of him. Two years later, he would turn eighteen, and would officially be eligible to enlist. He spent the better part of these two years having as much fun as he was physically able to within his limits, and was often scorned for such things.
| | == 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. |
|
| |
|
| *'''''Enlisted'''''
| | 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. |

|
| Anubis was forced into enlisting with the Lorrd Military shortly after his eighteenth birthday, by his father. Although he resented his father for it, he still had a great respect for the man; raising three children on your own is no easy task. As such, Annedu made it a point to excell at everything thrown at him; from educational studies to physical workouts, all the inner workings of basic militray training. His instructors were very pleased with his work, and sent out recommendations to their superiors regarding the young Lorrdian. For half a year, Anubis recieved the training that he required to do his job. As a member of the [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]], Lorrd had an obligation to share it's military power with other members should they request it. Aware that he could be transfered with a request, Annedu worked especially hard to try and secure a position on his homeworld.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| While he lacked in some skills, he made up for it in others. He wasn't perfect - no one was. In the end, it was requested by the New Republic that he report to Corulag, for additional training. When he arrived, he was surprised to learn that he had been hand picked by the New Republic Special Forces, to join their ranks for additional military training and covert operations. Never having been off [[starwars:Lorrd|Lorrd]], he was uneasy about the situation. While the opportunity that was presented to him was monumental, it came at a cost; he'd rarely see his family, which had always been a big part of his life.

| *'''''Additional Training'''''
| | ==== Ancient Mandalorian Beskar'gam ==== |
| '''19 ABY - 21 ABY'''
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| At first, Annedu failed to pass several tests administered to him. They were unorthodox, and caused great confusion to him. This led his superiors to believe that perhaps, they had made the wrong decision. The Lorrdian requested a final chance to prove himself, and managed to skate by the exams. For the next two years, Anubis would recieve training in use of several different types of weaponry; from thrown, explosives, bladed, and ranged. Some he excelled at, others he didn't. In addition, he was given further instruction on starfighter piloting, soon having the ability to fly most craft with basic success; which was all that was needed of him at the time.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Through blood, sweat, and tears, the Lorrdian eventually succeeded to complete the rigorous training adminstered to him. While certainly not the perfect soldier, he was adept at what he did; specializing in bladed combat. Anubis was assigned to a small, two man squad known as 'The Musketeers', bringing their total count up to three. The squad consisted of himself, the bladed combatant, Joseph Jones, the ranged combatant, and Ricky Gordon, the demotions specialist.
| | 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. |

|
| For four years, Anubis served alongside his two comrades, Joseph and Ricky. They had a total of fifteen successful missions throughout Known Space, and gained much knowledge about other societies. He developed a strict military persona, and always put the mission above everything else; including his own life. While confrontations with the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]] were minimal, he still had a taste of what they were about. He was somewhat fascinated in how they handled themselves, and even considered defecting. The only thing keeping him from making such a brash action, was the dissappointment his father would undoubtly lay upon him. He devoted himself to his work, and did everything possible to make sure that it was done in a satisfactory manner.

|
| It was at this time, that Annedu decided it was best to retire. While he had come to enjoy the life of a soldier, and the freedom that came with it, the effects of such a line of work had start to wear on him. Seeking out a different line of work, he returned home to [[starwars:Lorrd|Lorrd]] and instead took up the job he had intented to as a child; freighter pilot. While his father was disappointed in him for giving up an opportunity to serve his planet, and the Republic, the Lorrdian strived to make the best of things. He worked a route from Lorrd to [[starwars:Denon|Denon]], a large metropolitan planet like [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]]. It wasn't long before he got bored of the profession, somewhat missing his military life; although he refused to re-enlist with the New Republic. Instead, he enlisted into an independant military force in the relatively unknown [[Kr'Tal System]], joining them as a fighter pilot.

| *'''''Induction'''''
| | ''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. |
| '''26 ABY'''
| |
| | |
| After his affinity for the [[starwars:Force|Force]] was discovered by those that led the military force in the [[Kr'Tal]] [[starwars:System|System]], he was sent into [[The Shroud]] with several other prospects, landing on the main orbiting body of [[Antei]]. They each took their own route across the plains of the moon, Anubis being one of two to survive the journey. After passing the Test of Lore, he was brought before [[Grand Master]] [[Sarin]]; to whom he pledged his loyalty as a servant of the [[starwars:Dark_Side|Dark Side]]. After his inducttion, Anubis continued his studies at the [[Shadow Academy]] for a short while. Not long afterwards, he was transfered back to the Kr'Tal System. After he had returned, it made sense as to why such a military force existed within the region. They were servants, just as he was.
| |
| | |
| The Lorrdian was moved to the Ektrosis Temple on [[Taruma]], the home of [[House]] [[House Ektrosis|Ektrosis]]; leaded by [[Hel-Pa Sklib]] and [[Vodo Biask Taldrya|Vodo Biask]]. Given a less then warm welcome, he proved to be a trouble member during his first several weeks as a [[starwars:Dark_Jedi|Dark Jedi]]. Although his training was proceeding rapidly, he was loud, obnoxious, carless, and arrogant in more ways then one. He had completely forgotten his military-style of thinking, instead replacing it with something much undesired. After only several weeks in the Brotherhood, something unexpected happened. The Yuuzhan Vong, a warrior race immune to the Force, had begun its invasion of the galaxy; paying special attention to any [[starwars:Force_Sensitive|Force Sensitives]] that stood a chance against them.
| |
| | |
| | |
| *'''''So It Begins'''''
| |
| '''26 ABY'''
| |
| | |
| The Dark [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] of the Brotherhood were first made aware of the Yuuzhan Vong when they cornered them within the Shroud, during the award ceremony for [[Second Darkness]]. Annedu had been present on the ''[[VSD Dark Prophet|Dark Prophet]]'', the flagship of [[Taldryan]] at the time when the invasion occured. The ''Prophet'' was one of the first vessels to be attacked by the invaders, scrambling fighters to intercept as many [[starwars:Coral_Skipper|coral skippers]] as they could. Annedu, after having been injured by an exploading power conduit, lost his right arm from the shoulder down and required immediate medical attention. Making their escape anyways, they agreed to take the Novice with them on one of the shuttles. Not long after the Lorrdian left the ''Victory''-class [[starwars:Star_Destroyer|Star Destroyer]], it fell to the Vong. After the hull was breached, the ship was ventilated into the vacuum of space. Everyone on-board perished, including the Yuuzhan Vong, in the ensuing explosion.
| |
| | |
| The spectacle in space was quite large; there were fighters, organic and metallic, everywhere. The ''[[VSD Vae Victus|Vae Victus]]'', commanded by [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Muz Ashen]], had engaged the majority of the Vong fleet alone, and was falling quickly. The ''[[VEN Katarn|Katarn]]'', now serving as the Taldryan flagship, recalled all Taldryan forces back to the ship as it made preperations to retreat. Anubis made it on the vessel not a minute too soon; being one of the last, as all hangers on board were locked down. The ship proceeded out of the area, fleeing.
| |

| | |
| *'''''Surviving The Shroud'''''
| |
| '''26 ABY'''
| |
| | |
| While the ''Katarn'' had made it out of the battle, it had not done so unscathed. There were many damage reports throughout the ship, all of which required fixing. Annedu was given immediate medical attenton, along with nearly a dozen others that had been injured in the fray, treating his lost arm. Refusing to go one-armed for the rest of his life, Annedu requested a cybernetic replacement. He was given a base model, which was just a black skeletal frame with servomotors. After a couple days in rehabilitation, he was free to leave the medical ward. Immediately going to work, he helped as many technicians as he could with the repair of the ship. While nowhere near adept at such a thing, he had picked up a few things during his time as a pilot.
| |
| | |
| Around this time, Anubis requested a transfer to [[House Archanis]], believing that it would better fit him. The transfer was acknowledged by [[Consul]] Duga Arkarso Taldrya, and he was given the permission that he needed. Serving with Taldryan for the rest of the war, they had managed to escape the Shroud and return to the [[Kr'Tal System]], many of the ships at their disposal destroyed. Annedu had eventually made the decision that he was too much of a trouble maker for the Clan; instead choosing an alternative. Taking everything he had - which wasn't much - the [[Guardian]] packed up his gear and put in a transfer for [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]]. After little debate, the transfer was approved. Tracking down the ''[[VSD Covenant|Covenant]]'', the Lorrdian met up with them on their way to the [[Orian System]].

| *'''''System Invaded'''''
| |
| '''27 ABY'''
| |
| | |
| The forces of [[Clan]] [[Naga Sadow]] returned to their home of the [[Orian System]], unseen territory for the young Dark Jedi. Within moments of reverting back to regular speed, the damaged ''Covenant'' was made aware of a threat inside the system. After investigation it was revealed that the third and final faction of the [[True Brotherhood]], this time lead by [[Consul]] [[Macron|Macron '''Keibatsu''']]'s half sister [[Anaxela]] and the shade of [[Severina]], had returned to the Orian System and seized control in the absense of the Sadowite forces; believing them to have been destroyed by the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Vong]] at Antei. With command of the [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|''Victory II'']]-class Star Destroyer ''[[Dark Fusion]]'' and a number of Dark Jedi at their disposal, they were easily able to dispatch any resistance within the star system.
| |
| | |
| Anubis flew with friend [[Tsingtao Ming]] to [[Dentavii Prime]], in order to restore security to the outer system and aid the ''Covenant'' in it's upcoming fight. Seeing no further use for him there, the Lorrdian departed; his next destination [[Tarthos]]. He arrived shortly after the beginning of the battle for the Ragnos Cathedral in [[Kar Alabrek]], leading the battle in the air with companions Nero Pennant and Shuang Long. The three were shot down during the Battle of Tarthos, all three survived. With no craft to get them up into the air, the three joined the fray on the ground. During a freak accident with the lightsaber he had been given by Trevarus Caerick, Nero Pennant severed Anubis' left leg from the knee down. He was out of comission for the rest of the [[Invasion of Orian|conflict]], forced to sit on the sidelines.

| Shortly after the conclusion of the cleansing of the system of [[True Brotherhood]] forces, Anubis joined [[Davin Olar]] in apprenticeship to [[Ashia|Ashia '''Keibatsu''']], wife to the [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Muz|Muz Ashen]] and [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] [[Ludo Kressh]]. The three trained together for a short while, but it was short lived. Around this time, Annedu had achieved the rank of [[Jedi Hunter]]. During an incident in which Anubis vocally attacked his master, nearly losing his life in the process, he was instead expelled from Naga Sadow and sent into the unknown on an un-marked shuttle with a [[Golden Shovel of Clan Naga Sadow|Golden Shovel]] at his side. Several years later, the Lorrdian would make peace with the [[starwars:Zabrak|Zabraki]] woman and the two would grow to have somewhat of a friendship.

| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| After being welcomed to [[House Qel-Droma]] by [[Quejo Drakai Xyler|Quejo Drakai]] and [[Orv Dessrx d'Tana|Orv Desserx]], Anubis decided that [[Clan Arcona]] would be a suitable home for a time. It wasn't long after he joined the house, that he was offered the position of [[Rollmaster]] by Clan Rollmaster [[Rho d'Tana]]. Accepting the position and responsibilities, he began welcoming new members to the House and saw that they acknowledged and followed the Shadow Oath; an oath set forth that if a member did not reach the rank of [[Protector]] within the first month of being active, that they be removed from the roster and placed within the Rogues. During this time, Anubis still hadn't achieved the rank of [[Dark Jedi Knight]]. Forced into becoming an apprentice once more with the sting of his previous apprenticeship still fresh within his mouth, he became the student of his Quaestor; Quejo.

| *'''''Eclipse'''''
| | ====== Prior to Ownership Under Zxyl Bes'uliik ====== |
| '''28 ABY''' | | ''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. |
|
| |
|
| Not long after he had learned that [[starwars:Luke_Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] and the [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] were gathering on a space station orbiting the planet [[starwars:Eclipse|Eclipse]] after being run out of their Yavin IV temple by the Yuuzhan Vong, Quejo confronted Consul [[Mejas Doto]] and [[Sashar Arconae]] about pursuing the group of [[starwars:Light_Side|Light Siders]] and eliminating them once and for all. Both members of the Clan Summit denied the proposal, forcing the Quaestor to take matters into his own hands. Gathering troops and Dark Jedi members of his house on the Bothan Assault Cruiser ''[[BAC Shadow|Shadow]]'', Quejo took command of the vehicle and led a campaign towards the station. Qel-Droman forces were intercepted by the ''[[BAC Darkest Night|Darkest Night]]'' under the command of [[House Galeres]] Quaestor [[Zandro Savric Erinos]], and conflict ensued.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| The two houses engaged in a feud, with Quejo attempting to hunt down the Jedi and Zandro attempting to prevent his [[Quaestor]] counterpart and old friend. In the end, it would be the Consul, with the power of the ''[[starwars:Imperial_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial II]]''-class [[starwars:Star_Destroyer|Star Destroyer]] [[ISDII Eye of the Abyss II|Eye of the Abyss II]] at his disposal, who ended the conflict between the two houses. Although any and all conflict between the two ceased almost immediately, tensions were still high. In an attempt to return home, Anubis fled; back to the Kr'Tal System and [[Taldryan|Clan Taldryan]] once more.
| | 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. |

| '''Physical Abilities''' | | 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.

|
| | == 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. |

| | 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. |

| | 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 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.

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.
