Daniel Stephens is a Sentinel Ranger. He is currently in Independent House Odan-Urr.
Character History
Early Years
Stephens was born in the city of Bela Vista on Corellia. As most small boys did he enjoyed playing such games as cops and robbers, and as he grew older his fascination with being a cop never died out. Soon after his 18 birthday he enlisted into the Corellian Security Forces (CorSec), and graduated from detention school with honors and took a job working in a Detention Facility near his hometown of Bela Vista. He always did well in his job especially in knowing where to look in contraband searches, or what to ask a person when interrogation after fights and such. Even to the point he caught his Major's eye and received a promotion for investigative work on the street.
His performance in the field never slackened and while he enjoyed the attention he was receiving from fellow co-workers, he was receiving attention from a source he knew he didn't want to be involved in. The Diktat at the time was not a kind man, always looking to strengthen his grip on the system. He had his eye sat on Stephens as a possible Force-user, one that he could train for his own intentions. Receiving tips from his co-workers he left the planet, not wanting to enter New Republic space for fear they would capture and interrogate him about the Corellian System he headed for the region of space controlled by the Emperor's Hammer.
Emperor's Hammer years
Soon after arriving on Aurora, the home planet of the EH, he decided to enlist in the EH Armed Forces. Taking a shuttle to the Platform Daedalus he took his Armed Forces Entrance Exam. Thinking he would just join the grunts on the ground as an enlisted man, he was surprised as he was pulled aside and asked if he would like to join the pilots program and accept a commission as Sub-Lieutenant. He immediately agreed and was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer Colossus, into Omicron Squadron. It was here he met someone who would prove to a valuable ally for years to come, Kromtal Stormfyld. Even though he was Stephens Squadron Commander the two became friends. Over the course of a year Stormfyld left the Hammer for places unknown, and Stephens eventually became Squadron Commander of Omicron. After serving his Tour of Duty, he temporaraly resigned his commission to complete testing for admittance into the Dark Brotherhood.

Stephens tests proved he had a natural affinity for the Force, but to his instructors dismay he never would fully come to the Dark Side. He walked the line of a Grey Jedi, but was eventually promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, and Aedile of House Dorimad Sol in Clan Scholae Palatinae. After serving his tour in the House, he took his leave of the Brotherhood due to his old Wing Commander requesting him to rejoin the Fleet to open a new Squadron, Iota Squadron. Quickly forming the squad Stephens set out to prove to those on the Colossus that his new powers and skill were not to be triffled with. Soon Iota had risen to the top of the Wing, being promoted to Captain and then to Major. Only things were not meant to be, he was soon betrayed by one of his Flight Leaders who threatened a mutiny on him if he did not step down as Commander. Senseing other things were at work at the time he stepped down, and silently bid his time within the wing.
Several months went by and he was soon contacted by his old friend Kromtal Stormfyld about joining him on the Command Staff as his Command Attache. Leaving the Colossus Stephens joined up and was immediately promoted to Rear Admiral. Several months passed and he was promoted to Vice Admiral. Soon though discord arose from the ranks, and the Brotherhood split off. At this time sensing he should stay Stephens stayed and stepped down from his position and was given the rank of Colonel for his time in the Command Staff. Taking his well deserved leave Stephens returned to Corellia to visit his family. Knowing he could well handle anything the Diktat threw at him he enjoyed his time spent on the planet which numbered several months. It was also at this time that he met his future fiancee. During this time of meditation he decided to join the "Rogue" brotherhood as he sensed he had a future and a home there. Leaving his family behind once again he left for the Antei system, swinging by the Aurora system to resign his commission in the EH Forces.
Dark Jedi Brotherhood Years
Arriving in the Antei system he was interrogated several times by Dark Council staff to test if he was a traitor meaning to harm the newly placed Brotherhood. Sensing his well intentions they let him go with coordinates to the new CSP system. Soon after arriving he was asked by the Clan Leadership if he would take the position of QUA of House Caliburnus. Taking the position however was too taxing on Stephens and he soon found himself burned out of command. Stepping down for the more quite life within the Clan he sat for 2 years waiting. After the time had passed war was declared within the House between House Caliburnus and House Dorimad Sol, helping his current house win the war Stephens was promoted to the rank of Sith Warrior, as well as Clan Envoy. Several months passed by and he wanted more. He was contacted by House Satal Keto summit in regards to the position of Aedile for the House and he transferred there. Sitting under the leadership of two QUA, he was once again promoted to Sith Battlemaster for handling the House affairs during both a Clan War and his Quaestors sickness.
He was soon promoted to Quaestor of the House near the beginning of the Great Jedi War, and lead his house through most of the campaign when he was stricken with a strange ailment and had to once again step aside. Fighting his sickness he soon recovered only to find that his replacement had been struck down by the spirit of Lord Plagueis. The newly seated Quaestor once again took volunteers from the House for Aedile and Stephens stepped up, and was re-chosen. However Stephens performance as AED according to him was lackluster. He had seen his QUA leave his position due to internal fighting within the clan, and had himself lost interest in the Brotherhood. Several months after taking AED Stephens once again left the position for someone who would better take care of House Satal Keto. Packing his few belongings he left Clan Plagueis and rejoined his former clan, Scholae Palatinae.
During his stay in CSP he assisted his Clan in the evacuation of the Cocytus System due to a Vong invasion. During the retaking of the system his Battleteam was responsible in holding a strategic moon in the system.

Characteristics
Seraph can be distinguished by his shaggy brown hair and thin beard. When he does choose to shave he can be picked out by a long, thin scar, running from his upper lip to his cheekbone on the left side. He is tall, almost 2 meters, and large, athletic build. His weight is just over 99 kilograms. Stephens is fond of wearing his Negotiator robes.
He is often called DS. This is due to being his call-sign when he was an active pilot in the Emperors Hammer Tie Corps. Daniel's most prize possession is his lightsaber. In the course of his career as a Dark jedi he has had 3. The first blew up due to faulty wiring taking his left forearm in the blast. His second was his "pre-made" saber when he ascended to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He still keeps this saber in his room, just in case. The third he made with his own hands after his ascension to Obelisk Prelate.
Strengths
Due to his career in Law Enforcement, DS is extremly distrustful to most people. Only after a showing of loyalty have you earned his trust. Also due to his career he is a quick thinker, and with his Force training he is an able opponent when solving any crimes, or in just an argument. During his time with the Tie Corps as well as being a Sith for a period of time, he is just as home in a cockpit as he is on the ground in a battle. Lastly when fighting with him saber to saber, he is very strong, especially with his left hand, due to cybernetics. However he is not overly agile, he also does not believe in a fair fight and will use anything, dirt, rocks, spit, eye gouging, etc. to win a fight.
Weaknesses/Phobias
He is extremly allergic to bee venom. He will also break out in hives, as well as sneeze and have irritated sinus symptoms when exposed to the fur of a little known creature known as a "Tribble". Also during heavy physical stress he can start to limp due to past leg injuries.
Possessions
Weaponry
DL-44 Blaster Pistol
He still carries his only DL-44 Blaster sidearm from his CorSec days strapped in a holster on his right thigh. This is set just below his saber. The DL-44 is standard stock model with a small aftermarket scope attached.

Custom Lightsaber "Justice"
The saber is 2 sections, held together by a small tube of transparisteel. All working parts and crystals are in the lower end of the saber, with the upper portion used only to make saber longer. Also the bottom portion is inscribed with his surname, in an ancient language, for personalization and identification. The saber blade is blue in color, symbolizing the "Thin Blue Line" that all Law Enforcement walk between the Law and Chaos.

Assault Baton
He is also been known to keep an "Assault Baton" with him at all times. This baton can be carried on his belt compacted to 6" long. It can be expanded to 21" with a quick flick of the wrist and is made of a lightweight form of Dura-steel.
This weapon is designed for quick strikes to a persons 'pain points'. The shoulder, arms, buttocks, back of knee caps, etc. The only difference between this weapon and others within the galaxy is the owner has outfitted it with a small bio-electric generator. This generator feeds off energy from the wielder and turns it into an electronic shock when the tip comes in contact with an opponent.
The baton is extremly durable, able to take a few blows from swords. It is black in color and a black foam grip handle provides a firm, durable gripping surface which assures non-slip handling.
Armor
Due to an training exercise injury with Scholae Palatinae troops he often wears a lightweight armored vest under his robes. This protects his chest and abdominal area. In addition he wears modified bracers, the left housing his lightsaber, with the right housing his baton. Lastly during battle he wears greaves to aid in hand-to-hand combat and protection of his lower legs.

Trivia
It is of interest that while this member does not have the training needed to wield 2 lightsabers simultaneously, he does wield his ASP baton from his CorSec days in his off hand.
