| ===Family Tree/Lineage===
| |
| Sparky comes from a long line of famous Sparkys and Wagglehorns. This family tree and lineage is critical to the way the newest generation of Sparky von Wagglehorn conducts himself. Sparky very much values his family history and name, and strives constantly to live up to the high bar set by his ancestors. Truthfully, he does occasionally resent the pressure though, and this resentment can often manifest itself in the form of anti-authority type attitudes and a rebellious streak.

| Sparky's grandfather, Sparky von Wagglehorn (the first or Sparky 1) was the man who brought the then unknown Wagglehorn family out of obscurity. Sparky 1 (as he'll be referenced in this article) was 16 years old when Clone Wars started. In a small combat action on Virujansi, Sparky 1's family was killed in a fierce fight between a Jedi and company of Separatist battledroids. Though Sparky 1 blamed the Separatists for this loss, he always viewed the Jedi with suspicious and mistrust following that incident. Though a boy, Sparky 1 was forced into the fighting after that, acting as a gunner on a LAAT Gunship in the Rarefied Air Cavalry through the remaining years of the war. Following the war, his actions had been recognized by the local Republic (now Imperial) governor and he was given a prime slot at one of the Imperial Academies. From there, his career skyrocketed. Sparky von Wagglehorn the 1st was extremely active in the Imperial Army and Stormtrooper corps as an aviation pilot, commander, and eventual General in the Hammer's Fist. This eldest von Wagglehorn has done his best to pass his military tradition on to his son and grandson. He frequently told the youngest Sparky war stories and has done his best to coach and mentor Sparky von Wagglehorn the 3rd into a fine soldier and recruit.

| Sparky's father, Sparky von Wagglehorn (the second, or Sparky 2) was an extremely active pilot in the years following the Galactic Civil War. Entering military service a decade after the Battle of Endor, too late to serve the proper empire, Sparky 2 spent most of his career actively flying for a group called the TIE Corps, a subgroup of the Emperor's Hammer. Though Sparky 2 did not achieve the widespread acclaim that his father did, he diligently sought to instill military values in his son, and was extremely proud of Sparky 3 when he entered training on Judecca.

| These two figures, Sparky's father and grandfather, were instrumental in forming Sparky into the recruit he was when he joined the DJB.

Early Life
Sparky von Wagglehorn the 3rd (son of Sparky von Wagglehorn the 2nd, who is son of Sparky von Wagglehorn) was born in 20 BBY. Sparky's father was the famed Sparky von Wagglehorn II, Imperial Army General. Embarassingly, Sparky the First was an active Rebel, having joined the rebellion shortly after the Clone Wars. Both Sparky II and Sparky I fought in the Clone Wars. Shortly after the wars though, Sparky I disappeared and only resurfaced years later as an infamous Rebel pilot. Sparky II eventually rose to a command role in the glorious Hammer's Fist.
Sparky III, however, was destined for flying. As a young man in the Chiss Protectorate, Sparky III advanced quickly. Due to rapid Chiss maturation, at age 10, Sparky III enlisted in the Chiss Defense Force. He steadily advanced through the ranks over the next 10 years. In the year prior to the Death Star's destruction, Sparky entered regular Imperial service and was assigned as a wing commander on a small base on Tatooine. Though a pilot, Sparky frequently participated in ground engagements as well as a member of the "Fighting 53rd Attack Squadron".
He spent the next 4 years operating primarily out of Tatooine. Sparky also was present on engagements on numerous other planets as well, including Sullust, Bespin, Hoth, Dandoran, and ultimately Endor. During the chaos post-Endor, Sparky abandoned the Empire and attempted to return to Chiss space.
He spent the next year stuck in the Anoat sector under Imperial Blockade. Worried he'd get caught as a deserter, Sparky turned towards the Rebellion to assist him in escaping the sector to return home. During the years following Endor, Sparky attempted to live a life of peace. Uncertain of his loyalties, he eventually returned to active service to the Chiss and remained there until discovered by the TIE Corps/Emperor's Hammer in the early 20's ABY.
Emperor's Hammer
TIE Corps
In the 20's ABY, Sparky flew with a part of the Imperial Remnant known as the TIE Corps. He admired their strength and dedication to order. He frequently participated in combat actions with Kappa Squadron and the ISD Warrior.
Sometime during this era, he started experimenting with his force sensitivities, though never fully explored them until the late 20's, where he interacted with Luke Skywalker's academy on a limited level. Ultimately, his lack of control over his force abilities scared him, and he abandoned his training to return to military service sometime prior to 34 ABY.
Dark Jedi Brotherhood
Clan Scholae Palatinae
In 38 ABY, Sparky joined quite a few of his Emperor's Hammer brothers and sisters in migrating to a powerful group of the Imperial Remnant. Starting off on the path towards the dark side, Sparky again struggled with the force. Having only a basic grasp of it, his attention again was diverted elsewhere. Though in 39 ABY, the Dark Jedi Brotherhood recognized the talents of non force users, and Sparky rapidly found a new home among the loyalist sect of the DJB. Currently, Sparky remains active in the DJB and is actively looking to increase his stature there.
Though still reasonably new to the DJB, he's already engaged in a few activities, including some recent combat actions known as Deception. He's seen action on numerous worlds within the Cocytus system as he's done his best to do his duty in aiding CSP's expansion and control in their home system.
Personality and Traits
Sparky is a very determined individual. It should also be noted though, that he is extremely sarcastic. He is sarcastic frequently to the point that people do not catch the sarcasm, and often think he's being serious. Not willing to change their perception though, he generally carries on with dry sarcasm. Sparky is also a very laid back individual, generally open to hearing opposing views, and is usually understanding of why people operate the way they do. It takes a lot to "get his goat" so to speak.
