Luciferus "Scyrone" Leviathan

"Death is the failure of life. I will not fail!"

―Luciferus, talking to himself after seeing Ithor destroyed by the Vong

Dark Jedi Knight Luciferus "Scyrone" Leviathan is currently one of the only Ithorians in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and contrary to Ithorian beliefs, loves war and combat.

History

Beginnings

X-oss Scyrone is an Ithorian born in the atmosphere of the planet of Ithor, on the date 20 B.B.Y., during the days of the Old Republic. Scyrone’s parents, Cerrum and Xilia, were environmentalists that worked for the Republic on matters of restoration of desert and arid planets and the up-keeping of planets that had been restored from a destructive state.

Scyrone also had two older, twin sisters, Jazzel and Jezzeel, whom when reached an appropriate age, would help with the conservation of there home planet and there Clan ships.

Like most Ithorians, X-oss Scyrone had a close connection to the Force. When he was around the age of two, the Jedi came to the planet Ithor (like they had over numerous times before), and searched for new-born Force-sensitives who could possibly aid the Jedi in the future. X-oss was one who the Jedi wished to have for there training. But Cerrum and Xilia had never fully trusted the Jedi training and the Jedi arts, so they denied the Jedi the custody of X-oss.

Growing up on Ithor was easy for Scyrone. Although he never paid attention to his parent’s works, he still appreciated the finer arts and ecological findings of Ithorian culture. The ideas Scyrone had more fun with were Politics, Religion, and Philosophy. These are what Scyrone valued the most in the galaxy. Scyrone even sometimes paid some attention to combat and different fighting arts.

Fear of the Imperials

The Empire took hold of the Galaxy and Ithor was one of the planets that weren’t pleased. The Empire lack of regard for peaceful races and especially non-human races made the Ithorians a prime target for Imperial takeover. Fearing the Empire, Xilia and Cerrum had fled there Clan ships on Ithor and went into unknown parts of the galaxy. X-oss was taken by Xilia to Dantooine, and Cerrum took Jazzel and Jezzeel to the Outer Rim planet of Bespin.

Dantooine and the Rebels

X-oss never fully enjoyed Dantooine. Although he enjoyed the open spaces and the beauty of it, he never liked the idea of working on a smelly farm on such a beautiful planet. He and Xilia owned a small farm on the plains of Dantooine. They worked on it by themselves to gain a living and to supply the nearby towns with food and industry.

When X-oss Scyrone was of age to look after the farm by himself, his mother decided to join the Rebel Alliance and fight against the Empire. Scyrone was irritated by her position to takes sides so easily in a petty conflict, that he would rather see her go cause war and destruction than stay on a peaceful planet. With that, Xilia sadly left Scyrone on the planet by himself.

Leaving with Friends

After the departure of Xilia, Scyrone had decided to sell the farm and take the droids he had gained for workers on the farm, and create his own friend (or custom droid). On Dantooine, X-oss had met a Wookie by the name of Gryypyst. The Wookie had talents at making and repairing droids, so Scyrone gave him a fair amount of money to create a custom droid. This droid was a personal combat droid and partial etiquette droid. Scyrone was so pleased with the job Gryypyst did that he asked the Wookie to travel around the Galaxy with him. Gryypyst having nothing to do on Dantooine, agreed. Scyrone, Gryypyst, and 9T9 set off, on Gryypyst’s personal SoroSubb Luxury Yacht 3000, into the galaxy.

Exploration

On the date of 2 BBY, Scyrone, Gryypyst, and 9T9 started to travel to undesired places in the galaxy. They had made a trip to Tatooine where they had their first glimpse of true disorder in the galaxy and true criminal desire. Then they traveled to Manaan for a glance at history. They learned of the Sith Empire and the Republic forces that had landed on the planet millennia before the current time, in search of the Kolto that the Selkath held. There last place of destination was Bespin.

Scyrone had learned of his father on Bespin and had wanted to meet him after all these years of separation. Their reunion was a happy one. Scyrone had learned that his father had become manager of a Tibanna gas operation and had earned many credits and fame for his tact in developing his own operation. X-oss had also learned of what happened to his sisters. Both the twins invested in a Galactic wide transportation business and had made millions of credits off of it. Scyrone was pleased at the outcome of his family, but the life of the rich and famous was not for him. When Scyrone had told his father of his mother’s actions to join the Rebel Alliance his father became distraught on what might happen to her. Scyrone, for the time being, decided to live with his father in his house on Cloud City. Gryypyst and 9T9 were also welcomed to stay and they did.

The Pain Begins

It was the end of the year 1 BBY and Scyrone was living safely in his father’s house. Rebel Alliance intelligence had secretly contacted the family. Scyrone had learnt of his mother current position on Alderaan as a secretive aide to Bail Organa. Scyrone was pleased to hear of his mother’s succession, but Cerrum did not feel as good about it as Scyrone did. No matter, Cerrum accepted this decision.

Only months later, Scyrone and Cerrum had heard of the destruction of Alderaan and all it’s inhabitants on the planet. The family felt hurt and emotionally injured because of the loss. This is where Scyrone had his first glimpse of true pain and suffering in his life.

After this event, things only got worse as a few months after that, two Ithorian females were executed publicly for transporting Rebels agents across the galaxy. These two females were later found out to be Jazzel and Jezzeel. Scyrone and Cerrum, fearing to be hunted down by the Empire, left Bespin and went into hiding.

De’Pillt Space Station

After running away from the Empire for a few years, Scyrone, Cerrum, Gryypyst, and 9T9 had finally gotten away from the Empire. They had found residence on a space station in the Outer Rim. It was the De’Pillt Space Station. De’Pillt was known for it’s supply to space pirates and mercenaries. The Empire would not dare attack the Station as then every Merc and Pirate and Bounty Hunter would be on their tails. Here is where they stayed for quite a long time.

Hearing of the fall of the Empire in 3 ABY and the formation of the New Republic a few years later, Scyrone and his family and friends were able to come out of hiding. Bidding farewell to De’Pillt, Scyrone and his friends headed off into the Inner Rims on the galaxy. Cerrum chose to go back to Bespin to gain his fortune and then move back to Ithor, where his Clan ship still sailed.

Loss on Kashyyk

Scyrone had always wondered why Gryypyst followed him around and where he came from. Mysteriously, Gryypyst had never spoken of Kashyyk, and after they left De’Pillt Gryypyst wanted to return to Kashyyk. On this return, Scyrone had learned everything about Gryypyst. Gryypyst was actually an outcast of Kashyyk. The Wookie had murdered a fellow Clan-mate for trying to betray his family into slavery of the Empire. The Wookie authorities, not knowing of the true situation, had sentenced him to death. Luckily, Gryypyst had escaped their clutch and left off-planet to find work to do, leaving his family behind. Scyrone felt pity for the Wookie and promised to help him restore his honor. Although the Galaxy had changed, his Wookie Clan had not. Gryypyst was immediately taken into custody by his Clan and sentenced to death the next day. In a rescue attempt, Scyrone and 9T9 had defied the Clan and set free the depressed Wookie. In a last act of courage, Gryypyst sacrificed himself to save Scyrone from certain death, letting Scyrone escape peacefully. Scyrone, however, was not at peace at all, and became incredibly angered by the acts of the foolish Wookies.

The Sith

Having lost most of his family, and having lost his best friend to Wookie “peace-keepers”, Scyrone traveled back to Dantooine to try to make himself at peace. What Scyrone discovered next was amazing. He had stumbled upon an old Jedi enclave. Although 9T9 was suspicious to go in, Scyrone took this opportunity to his advantage. The Ithorian had a tingling feeling inside. He didn’t know what it was, but he felt as though he was drawn to the Enclave. Scyrone went inside the Enclave and discovered the Jedi and the Sith history. He read it for hours on end, almost as though it was an addiction to him. Although anyone could see the bias of the Jedi in the history, Scyrone felt it from a different view. He saw it from the Sith view. In a fit of rage, Scyrone punched a crumbling wall of the Enclave. Not only did the wall fully break, but it had been smashed over 20 feet in front of him. It is then he discovered the nature of the force, and the realization that he, himself, could indulge himself in the force and make things better for him. It is then when he decided to reach out to the force and look for the Sith himself.

After the events that took place on Dantooine, Scyrone had started searching planets for the Sith and force-sensitives, while not going close to Yavin 4 or Coruscant. He traveled back to Manaan to regain the history he had forgotten of the place. He had traveled to Vjun, Ruusan, Kamino, Mustafar, Utapau, and the long forgotten Dagobah in search of the Sith and remnants of the force. It wasn’t until his time he went to Korriban that he discovered massive fluctuations of the force. Scyrone had had enough with exploring the Sith. He wanted to discover them.

The Dark Jedi Brotherhood

While traveling into unknown space, Scyrone and 9T9 had met up with a small frigate. It was a frigate of Clan Arcona. They had sent science frigates and vessels out to explore a part of the galaxy around the shroud, where Scyrone had stumbled close to. After joining up with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and making his way to the Shadow Academy on Lyspair, Scyrone completed his Apprentice, Novice, and Acolyte training. This was all done in House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona.

During a small explorers mission to Tatooine to discover artifacts and remains of Krayt Dragons, Scyrone had found a Master who was willing to teach him the true nature of the force and the ultimate nature of the darkness inside of us all. His name was Quejo Bandom Xyler. Quejo taught Scyrone many things about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, but being in the opposing House, Scyrone’s training didn’t go too well all the time, and his Master was busy a lot of the time.

Scyrone thought of the Sith as a group of members who were to study the dark side in a fierce fashion. But seeing as though they were great pilots and great leaders, Scyrone wanted something more to strive for. Scyrone changed his Order to Obelisk because of his fascination with the art of combat and with his fixation on the dark arts of the force. This Ithorian wanted to defy his stereotype of peaceful, tree hugger and go beyond normalcy.

Double Promotion/Single Position

After entering many competitions and winning a lot of them, and by being available most of the time in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Scyrone was promoted to Guardian, and with the promotion came a new position which Scyrone had wanted since he joined Clan Arcona. Scyrone became the Battleteam Leader of Bas-Tyra, the then one and only BT of House Oriens Obscurum. This promotions and position gained gave Scyrone a new view of the Brotherhood and in a new way he could use his abilities to help others in their darkness.

After being the Battle-team Leader for two months, Scyrone was promoted to Jedi Hunter. Within the rank of Jedi Hunter he became more experienced and believed he was becoming more fitted for the upcoming restlessness among the Clans.

The 7th War and Aftermath

The Great Jedi War had emerged and Scyrone became excited at the idea of blood and battle. When the two Jacs came out of hiding and showed themselves, Scyrone sided himself with the blue Jac. Scyrone had fought valiantly for Clan Arcona, experiencing combat he had never seen in a long time. But with the War ending and nothing left for Arcona to strive for, Scyrone resigned from the Battle-Team Leader position and took a small break from the Brotherhood. The Ithorian left the shroud to pursue other fascinations in life.

Plagueings of Plagueis

Scyrone had decided to come back to the Dark jedi Brotherhood after a short break from it. But when he decided to go the Clan Plagueis, it was a big mistake for him. The Ithorian did not like the activity and did not like how everyone worked with each other. After a very short thought, Scyrone got tired of the Brotherhood all together. Seeing the unrest in the Clans left over from the Seventh Great Jedi War and seeing the future of hopelessness in him, and seeing as though his Master had left him, Scyrone left the shroud once again to never return to the distraught Brotherhood.

An Age of Enlightenment

Scyrone had surprisingly returned to the Brotherhood some while later, but this time he was a changed Ithorian. No one had known what had happened to him while he was gone, but he had hinted to some people that it had something to do with Dathomir. The first change that took place was the changing of his name to Luciferus Leviathan, taking Scyrone as his middle name. The second change was his self-image. He was no longer the lonely Ithorian whom trusted everyone and everything inside the Brotherhood. He had developed a greater sense of wisdom and logic, and had answered some of the many questions that he had plagued himself with his whole life. The third and final change was his Clan. Angered by his Arconan past and depressed of the Plagueins, he joined up with the Clan Scholae Palatinae. The Ithorian contacted Consul Braecen and asked the Krath Pontifex to make Scholae his home. Braecen gladly accepted him into the Clan. It was here that he would lay his foundation for a new home and make allies and deep friends in the Clan. It was on Judecca and Ptolomea that Luciferus would reside for the rest of his life.

Out of the Darkness Came the Vong

Luciferus "Scyrone" Leviathan participated in the test created by the Grand Master, Second Darkness. Was Luciferus ready for the Vong? It seemed so, and after participating in a small duel in the Rite the Ithorian thought he was ready for anything that was thrown at him. News of a new enemy spread across the galaxy. They reffered to themselves as the Yuuzhan Vong; an extremely natural society based on classes, ranks, and religious fanatacism infused with exploration and assimilation as part of their beliefs. The leaders of the DJB thought the Vong would never penetrate the shroud. They were wrong. When the Vong attacked Judecca, Luciferus never participated in the attack, but from afar he had written a poem about it. It was during this poem writing that Brotherhood scouts had received word that the Vong were headed for Ithor, the homeworld of the Dark Jedi Knight, Luciferus. Luciferus immediatly took a Leave of Absence and traveled as fat as he could to his homeworld. As he had arrived, the Ithorian became incredibly angered by what he saw. His homeworld was taken by the Vong. The nature of the Mother Goddess that had been grown on Ithor for mellenia has been destroyed by a pathetic race of barbarian nature lovers. Many Ithorians had escaped the destruction, but Luciferus did not know if his family, who had still lived on Ithor, survived or not. It was then and there that Luciferus had declared the Vong his sworn enemy, and the Ithorian would stop at nothing to kill them. But he still used his logic. Incredibly over-powered, and fear that the Vong might follow him back to the Shroud, Luciferus traveled to many other planets before returning to the DJB (scattering his escape from the Vong). Luciferus came back to Judecca near the end of the Great Jedi War and had started his blood feast upon the Vong upon his arrival.

Reclaiming the Power

The Vong had become erratic in the system of the Palatinae. Luciferus was fueled for action against the Vong. But what happened in the Clan surprised him next. Consul Phoenix and Proconsul Lucien had decided that the three Houses of Scholae Palatinaae would compete for destruction of the Vong. Most of the competition House Dorimand Sol dominated the competition, with Caliburnus coming slowly in second, and Acclivis Draco far behind. But close to the end of the competition, Dracoins had sped up to the front, causing a genocide amongst the Vong, and left the Solians in third place. Luciferus wished that he had killed more Vong for his House.

Senior Correspondent?

In the middle of 27 ABY, Derev Niroth put out an application for a new Senior Correspondent for the Dark Voice. Luciferus answered the call and was made the new Senior Correspondent. The Ithorian had submitted a few articles to the Dark Voice before, and had earned some Crescents and three Dark Side Scrolls in the process, so it seemed very likely that Luciferus deserved the position.

Just as Luciferus was starting on with the next articles though, the Jedi Hunter had received word that conflict on the latest issue had caused small arguments and fights among the DJB. Trying to maintain the peace, Luciferus tried to sort out differences among the DJB members, but his views were unnoticed by the Dark Jedi and eventually Derev had left the Dark Jedi Brotherhood forever. His position as the new Dark Voice Senior Correspondent was short-lived. Grand Master Sarin and his Deputy, Muz Keibatsu, had taken away the Dark Voice and are still working on something else that they have created for a replacement. Luciferus was unhappy to leave The Scribe, the DV's ship.

Deadly Deception of Caliburnus

A few months after the mishappens with the Dark Voice, House Caliburnus of Clan Scholae Palatinae had come into contact with a Hutt. This Hutt had somehow spied on what the House did to the Vong and out of what seemed to be a kind gesture, but really a trap, gave House Caliburnus news ships. Unknown the Caliburnians, the ships had tracers on them that attracted many Trandoshans whom secretly had worked for the Hutt. Luciferus participated in the revenge of the House and had helped take down the Trandoshan mercenaries and the Hutt. The Hutt and his cronies were silenced.

Skill With a Lightsaber

Luciferus, for his actions in Deadly Deceptions and throughout his Jedi Hunter history, had attained the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. With the help of Braecen, Luciferus gained his Lightsaber.
