Character History
Early Life
Childhood (19 BBY - 9 BBY)
Corellia
Keirdagh's Home City of Tyrena
Born in 19 BBY, Keirdagh was the only child of Bernird and Marika Cantor. His parents were the owners of a small but idyllic bed and breakfast inn located on the outskirts of the popular tourist destination of Tyrena, near the renowned Gold Beaches. Despite the unrest that had captured the galaxy in the face of the Clone Wars, the businesses and scenic destinations around this leisure community maintained a bustling business. As such, Keirdagh’s earliest memories are of his parents busily tending to the business of running a bed and breakfast, and playing with their guests children.
Growing up in a household that was also a business instilled in Keirdagh at a young age the importance of following instructions quickly. Even as a child, Keirdagh knew his responsibility to his family to help them maintain a good business, and that he had to work hard to achieve what he wanted. It was not a mirthful childhood filled with frivolity and abandon, but none-the-less; it was a happy one, surrounded by his family who he loved dearly. The importance of family would be a character trait that would come to define Keirdagh for much of his later life.
In 9 BBY, at the age of 10 Keirdagh’s father and mother had had enough of the grind of running a full time bed and breakfast, and decided to embark on another adventure. Keeping their small cottage, Bernird purchased a small pub one of the smaller neighbourhoods of Tyrena, and soon found he had a willing assistant in his young son. Drawn to both helping his father tend bar, as well as cooking the simple Corellian pub fare that they served Keirdagh believed himself to be preparing for a simple life, following in his father’s footsteps and running the family business.
Adolescence (9 BBY - 4 BBY)
Anessa Bell
Between spending his days in school, and helping his father out in the pub, Keirdagh had a very busy childhood. His parents, growing somewhat concerned that their young son was growing up too fast, and missing out on the simple joys of being a child began to encourage Keirdagh to take an interest in other facets of life. Realizing that the easiest way to do this would be to get him involved with children his own age, his parents began to seek other hobbies that Keirdagh could participate in. It was a stroke of luck that one of their old customers from the Bed and Breakfast contacted the Cantor’s and enquired about staying at their home during their upcoming vacation to the Gold Beaches.
So it was that in 4 BBY, Garm Bell – an executive in the powerful Corellian Engineering Corporation – along with his wife Fiolla and daughter Anessa came to stay at the Cantor’s seaside cottage. Despite having been playmates many years before, Anessa and Keirdagh had no recollection of one another, and certainly neither had the issue of dealing with raging hormones when they were mere children. Such was not to be the case on the Bell’s return to the Cantor home. The infatuation between the two adolescents was both immediate and mutual, a fact that both sets of parents either chose to overlook or did not recognize.
In what would begin as a whirlwind romance of puppy love, would eventually change both Anessa’s and Keirdagh’s life forever. For Keirdagh’s parent’s part, the two weeks that the Bell family stayed with them was wonderful. Their son had finally taken an interest in something other than work, and was visibly happier for the experience. Little did they know however how intimate the short lived relationship between Anessa and Keirdagh had grown.
Despite the brevity of their tryst, Keirdagh developed strong feelings for Anessa, and upon the Bell’s return to Coronet, the youth dropped quickly into an emotional spiral, and his parent’s quick joy at the young man’s transformation quickly turned to despair. No longer having the drive to seemingly do anything, lethargy came across the young man, and it was with great relief that Benird took a call from Garm Bell two months after their visit, hoping that the man might be returning with his family.
Scandal! 3BBY
Bernird could never have known however that the news he was about to receive would not be the answer to his concerns for his son, but the beginning of a much longer, more harrowing journey to come. Anessa at the tender age of 16 was pregnant. Under pressure from her parents she revealed that she had been with no one other than Keirdagh. The news, predictably, hit the small tightly knit Cantor family like a proton torpedo. Torn, as most families are at news of this magnitude, between joy and horror the elder Cantor began an argument that would haunt him the rest of his life.
Bernird was furious with his son that he could so easily throw away his future for multiple hours of mind-blowing pleasure. The ensuing row between them nearly tore apart the once almost impenetrable bonds of familial affection. It was with bitter and harsh anger that the elder Cantor accused his son of ruining his family’s good name, and stormed out of the house. Knowing that his husband would be headed to the pub to bury himself in his work Marika followed, hoping to calm him and force a reconciliation between father and son.
Anessa Bell
So it was, that when Garm and Anessa Bell landed their land speeder outside of the cottage, Keirdagh was home alone brooding over his fight with his father, and the future of his unborn child. It was not to be a happy reunion with the mother of his child, and Garm Bell took no pleasure in seeing the young man either, refusing to let the two adolescents speak and demanding to speak to Keirdagh’s father. Coming on the heels of another shattering argument, Keirdagh was in no mood to be dismissed by this man who was blocking his way to both the woman he believed he loved and who was the mother of his child. The argument soon came to blows, and such was the rage that came over Keirdagh that he felt his first manifestation of the force, punching Garm Bell with such force that the elder man flew backwards and smashed his head into the speeder that Anessa was ensconced within.
It was at this moment that Bernird and Marika had returned to their home in order to make amends with their son. Embarrassed and bloodied, Garm rose to his feet and issued a proclamation that would haunt Keirdagh for years. He announced that so long as Keirdagh was on Corellia, Anessa nor her child would never be allowed within hailing distance of the Cantor family. As he jumped into his speeder, Keirdagh stared into Anessa’s tear filled eyes and knew that the love he felt for the woman was both very real, and worth fighting for. Turning to his parents, he pleaded forgiveness, and begged that they let him set it right.
Recognizing, with the maturity he had not recently displayed, that this situation was in actuality, entirely his fault, Keirdagh proposed a plan. At first his parents objected and argued against his planned course of action. But Keirdagh was adamant, he knew that if he were to have any sort of chance at having a family of his own with Anessa, he had to do the hardest thing of all: walk away. With him away from Corellia, Keirdagh believed Garm’s anger would subside and let Bernird and Marika have a role in the child’s life, and once that was established, perhaps Keirdagh would finally be able to beg forgiveness and return.
When Bernird contacted Garm and outlined Keirdagh’s proposal, Garm concurred, and suggested a destination for the young scofflaw that would prove his worth as a father, and perhaps one day a son-in-law: The Imperial Academy on Carida. Utilizing his contacts at the CEC with the government Garm ensured Keirdagh was shipped off planet mere weeks after their confrontation.
The Empire
The Caridan Military Academy (3-1 BBY)
Caridan Naval Command Officer's School
For Keirdagh, adjusting to life within the confines of a military academy was fairly simple. From a young age he had been following orders, and keeping tight schedules. On Carida, in the Naval Command Officer’s School, Keirdagh settled immediately into the routines, and soon began to thrive. Now receiving constant updates from Anessa on their child and working to better himself beyond what had previously been his wildest dreams, Keirdagh began to feel content in his role.
In the barracks, Keirdagh would soon be introduced to one of the men who would eventually become one of his closest friends and mentors, Kyle Kessler. Kessler was the Prefect of the dormitory where Keirdagh was quartered, and the two became fast friends. Kessler, being a few years older than Keirdagh, and having enrolled in the college earlier would soon graduate, and the two would subsequently lose touch for many years.
As a student within the Academy, Keirdagh soon began to excel in his command training and develop a reputation as a brilliant tactician and leader. As it was, in his second year at the Academy at the age of only 17, his classmates in the Naval Command School voted him to be the Student Commandant, the equivalent of Class President in civilian institutions. The distinction honoured Keirdagh greatly, and he retained the Commandant position until the day of his graduation, where he was given the duty of giving the final address to his co-laureates.
Starfighter Training aboard Chimaera (1 BBY - 1 ABY)
Keirdagh's Flight Helmet aboard the Chimaera.
- "Welcome aboard the Chimaera recruits, report to the duty master for your assignments."
- ―Commander Gilad Pellaeon
Upon graduation it was standard procedure within the Imperial Navy for promising candidates to be assigned to temporary posts aboard one of the fleet's Star Destroyers, in order to give them better opportunities to advance within the ranks. Keirdagh, as Student Commandant fit this description perfectly, and upon his graduation he was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer Chimaera under the command of Captain Calo Drusan.
Beginning his training on the Chimaera was an eye opening experience for the young man from Corellia. Having graduated from the prestigious Caridan academy, Keirdagh had felt that he would recieve some measure of special consideration in his continued training, but this was not to be the case. The Chimaera was well known throughout the fleet as an extremely efficient ship, and new recruits were expected to earn their keep, and were given no preference except for the plaudits they would earn aboard. As it was, Keirdagh's first position was as a minor assistant for the Starfighter Wing Commander. This was where the first opportunity was afforded to him to participate in TIE Fighter simulations. The results were remarkable.
In his first training mission, acting as a human simulate for Rebel pilots Keirdagh along with his other human analogs defeated the TIE Squadron they were simming against. In subsequent missions, Keirdagh’s proficiency scores reached a level that was unmatched by any of the pilots currently stationed on the Chimaera. As his scores continued to range in the exceptional, Keirdagh requested transfer from Fleet Command into Starfighter command, and his request was approved after 3 months aboard the Chimaera. Once a promising Fleet candidate, Keirdagh was now the star of Chimaera’s fighter squadron corps. It was here that Keirdagh would earn the callsign "Yacko", a name he would keep for the rest of his years, due to his inability to keep idle chatter and taunts off the comm-waves during combat and the insane stunts he would put his fighter craft through.
The quick advancement and change of direction of his career would come at a time when Keirdagh’s personal life would take a turn for the worse however. After six months continuing his advanced fighter training, following the tumult of the Battle of Yavin, Keirdagh’s world would be turned upside down. During a rebel raid on his home planet, in order to liberate the traitorous Crix Madine, his parents were killed when a downed fighter crashed onto his childhood home. Elements of the infamous Rogue Squadron would eventually be reported as the Rebel unit responsible for the raid, leading Keirdagh to develop a deep and intense hatred for the talismanic Rebellion Squadron.

Physical Appearance
Keirdagh's Warbanner
When first glancing upon Keirdagh, you have the impression of a man who appears to be an unarmed combat instructor. Broad of shoulder, and narrow of hip, Keirdagh strikes a formiding pose, still athletically trim, despite his somewhat advanced age. He wears his hair short, so as to always keep out of his eyes, and has affected a full and rather luxurious beard. You can see gray starting to creep into his brown hair at the temples, and at the corner of his mouth, but this does nothing to detract from the intensity you see in his piercing emerald gaze.
A line of stark white hair cleaves Keirdagh's beard below his left eye, where you can see the start of scar tissue starting, before it plunges beneath the beard that still amazes you by how full and magnificent it is. You also once heard a rumour that Keirdagh has been branded on his left shoulder with the Taldryan insignia, and it is common knowledge that he has a tattoo of the Cantor family crest above his heart.

Combat Armor
Despite his training as primarily a pilot, and focusing his Dark Side studies on strengthening his already formidable skills in space combat, Keirdagh knew that to neglect his other training in the Jedi arts would be disastrous. As such, throughout his career Keirdagh spent a great deal of his time working with the most skilled hand to hand combat instructors he could, to help mould himself into as formidable a fighting force he could manage.
At the beginning of his career, Keirdagh had always avoided the use of armor, feeling that it restricted his movement too much in order to be effective in combat. However, having spent many years training in combat with the likes of Kir Taldrya Katarn, Sharad Taldrya Hett and Shadow Taldrya, Keirdagh's view of wearing personal armor was subtly changed, in light of the beatings he normally earned.
As such, when Keirdagh ascended to the position of Sith High Warrior one of the many projects he undertook was the creation and manufacture of a Sith Combat Suit, that would combine the practical applications of a Pilot's flight suit, but could also be used to aid the pilot should he be required to exit his vehicle and pursue a more personal form of negotiations. The result was the Sith High Inertia Tac-Suit (S.H.I.T).
Despite the obvious advantages of these Combat Suits, they were largely overlooked by the Brotherhood, with few of the Sith Dark Jedi Knights ever choosing to wear them. Keirdagh however is rarely seen in potential hostile situations without donning his Tac-Suit, and uses it now as his primary flight suit.

Disambiguation: Dark Prophet
There is a great deal of confusion concerning Keirdagh's fighter pilot call-sign. In his days in Tau Squadron, Keirdagh earned the call-sign "Prophet", as he was always the first one to point out or sense when the Squadron was being led into a trap. Keirdagh has used the call-sign long before there was a rank designation in the Dark Brotherhood of Dark Prophet.
Originally, Clan Taldryan's Victory Class Star Destroyer had been Christened Cantor, as a show of thanks to Keirdagh for all of his years of service to the Clan. However as more members of the Cantor family grew prolific within the Brotherhood it was decided to rechristen the ship to properly return the emphasis on Keirdagh alone. This is when the name Dark Prophet was chosen, as Prophet just wasn't Dark Jedi enough on it's own.
There is no link between the Rank Dark Prophet and Keirdagh's call-sign, nor has he ever achieved the rank of Dark Prophet within the Brotherhood. But he does answer to Dark Prophet because he had the name first and then someone screwed up and copied his name and made it a rank. (Pretty sure it was Jac's fault).
