Hel-Pa Taldrya Sklib

A Brief History

Origins

Hel-Pa Sklib was a Corellian originating from Saigetopia. His father was a CorSec agent and since Hel-Pa's childhood, he wished he could grow up and be like his dad. After his father's death several years ago, Hel-Pa developed a thirst for revenge against the one who murdered his beloved father. One of Hel-Pa's most distinguishing marks is a scar in his left hand running from the bottom of his thumb to the bottom of his hand near the wrist.

Hel-Pa was 17 years old when his father died. His adolescent mind sought the utter destruction of whoever murdered his father Tarth. Now several years since this tragic event, Hel-Pa had a clue on who the murderer was, but refuses to believe it. In the mouth of his father's corpse was his mother's favorite cosmetic appliance. Hel-Pa still was not totally convinced it was his mother, but nevertheless he cannot exclude that possibility

Beginnings as an Ektrosian

Hel-Pa had just begun venturing into the adult world. His recent promotions in the Brotherhood had wizened him and as Tetrarch of a Battle Team, Hel-Pa handled more responsibility than he ever had in his life. His first "test" as an adult was the Sixth Great Jedi War, where he exemplified all the qualities an Obelisk should show during the Great War at a surprisingly young age.

Knighthood and the Claw of Dinaari

After spending nearly a year as both Guardian and Jedi Hunter within his clan, Hel-Pa became perturbed by his position as Jedi Hunter, and often was seen in fits of rage, destroying many things in his path, and even nearly slaying a fellow Battle Team member. At the dawn of another year, and after a time of peace within the Brotherhood, Hel-Pa Sklib witnessed the birth of House Archanis within Taldryan. As the House was gathering its roots, Sklib further felt the tensions and stress of his inability to wield the prestigious lightsaber and was often seen having tantrums in his quarters by members of his Clan Summit.

Two events within his Clan altered this current mindset, and Sklib's energy was invigorated. During a Clan Meeting, he was surprisingly awarded the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, with praise from fellow Ektrosians Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya and Alanna Taldrya; even the great clan leader Duga Taldrya Arkarso. During that same meeting, Sklib was given the honor of receiving the Claw of Dinaari. This trophy represented Hel-Pa's great achievements in battle and advanced combat prowess, surely a sign of his great potential as a warrior for Taldryan.

The Future is Now

Hel-Pa is now in the midst of a "golden age" in his abilities and potential as a Dark Jedi Knight, and only the future can tell if his servitude as Tetrarch will lead to other responsibilities and positions within his beloved clan.

Hel-Pa Sklib's current lightsaber.

Hel-Pa has recently created a lightsaber using a Lion's Claw Hilt, a new style recently issued by the Herald's Office. Hel-Pa prefers the jagged grip due to its traction and inability to easily slide away from a perspirating hand amidst a tense duel between a rival or enemy. The purple blade is just a color preference by Sklib, and bears no meaning of heightened skill or anything of the sort. He is also a master of Shii-Cho, and few paralell his skill in the simple, yet deadly, form. Sklib strives simplicity over complexity, and his natural athleticism and willingness to battle make Shii-Cho a perfect form for Hel-Pa to practice. Shii-Cho offers great protection against multiple enemies, and Hel-Pa has found himself with his Battle Team, fending off multiple Rebels, Pirates, and other forces at the same time. This form combined with Dark Jedi Knight Vodo Biask's mastered Soresu skills make them an almost unstoppable force inside the great Battle Team.
