Timeline
This is the timeline of the life and doings of Nul'Brodo'a.
Beginnings
Born Nul'Brodo'a, though he would be called Brodo for short. His parents were Illysia and Korvem. Korvem was a military leader of skill and prestige in the Nul military. He lead the 2nd Grand Battalion into several conquests along the outer rim of the Nul space. His mother was an outsider, a half Kiffar from the shipyards surrounding the planet Sluis Van. She was on a freighter assisting her employers in transporting a load of metals for the factory's foundries when it came under attack by pirates. The captain of the freighter sent the vessel into a blind hyperspace jump. Amongst all the manuvers the man could've done, a blind hyperspace jump is likely to have been the most dangerous and foolist choice possible. In the end, the freighter skimmed an asteroid and left hyperspace in a tumble, barely under power. Only Illysia and the helmsman was left alive, and they worked together to get the spin under control.
A frigate in the Nul military at the time, the Cordite Hawk, was in the vicinity at the time, and recorded the entire reentry to normal space, and the subsequent slowing of the spin. The Hawk, led by a young Korvem, hailed the severely damaged ship, and offered assistance, which was quickly taken. The helmsman died of his wounds after being transported to the frigate, but Illysia was alive, and fell in love with her rescuer, Korvem, deciding to stay with him rather than returning to her life of work and toil.
- 75 BBY - Assasination attempt.
This attempt, which unfortunately is rather common amongst the higher ups in the Shaevailian society, took place at an official banquet where Brodo's father was to be awarded a large portion of land for his success in the Subjugation of the Ifrica Belt. During the ceremony, while the guests and dignitaries were looking towards the dias where the ceremoney would take place, an agent sent by one of Nul's greatest rivals, the Arka, poured a clear, tasteless liquid into Korvem's drinking cup. Brodo, being of the relatively young age of 31, had not really had much access to alcohol, and tried to get a taste from his father's cup while everyone was distracted. Brodo began to feel ill immediately, and was violently sick on the floor. The ceremony came to an abrupt halt as Brodo was rushed to the nearest medical centre by a very worried Korvem.
The doctors didnt know what the poison was, or how it was taken, because only Brodo knew this. He would stay ill for many days, Korvem never leaving his side, even to attend to duties. Brodo remained in a deep coma for much of the time as the poison did it's work. The poison was such that it would kill its victim slowly, inducing a coma known as the Sleeping Death, while corroding their organs, causing leaks and ulsers. These cause further damage and excuriating pain, which the victim feels all the time. Brodo got to this stage before the Arka agent was found, and brought to Korvem. It is said that Korvem beat the man for a day and a night AFTER the poison's name and type was revealed. Brodo was slow to regain consciousness, but when he did, he let out a minute long scream, and was quickly sedated.
Nearly a year had gone by, and finally Brodo had healed enough to be woken. He had a long physical thearpy schedule, but managed to finish it early. He was very touched by how his father had acted, and sought to do him proud with everything he did. He spent another month in hospital still getting over his near-death experience as well as the year in a coma.
The first couple weeks was spent doing tests for neurological problems and any extra signs of the poison. While no real neurological problems were found, some psychological problems arose, especially along the lines of mild paranoia (which was expected), and a survival instinct that surpassed even the most war hardened Shaevalian warriors (which was mostly unexpected).
A determined Brodo started walking a full three weeks earlier than he should've been able to. He struggled to regain his motor skills but not for want of trying. In a week of collapses and pulling himself up, he finally managed to walk unaided for a distance of ten meters, this fact in itself being a feat. In the next two weeks were spent relearning how to move in a variety of ways, including jumping and running. He was unable to eat solid foods just yet, his stomach and other organs needing a bit more time to heal the scars.
Upon arriving home, Brodo learnt of the death of his mother. At the age of 54, she'd been returning from her work as an assistant at the local engineering corporation when another assassin attacked. His mother was killed by a hold-out blaster to the kidneys. She was pronounced dead the same hospital that Brodo had been in that very same day and all the days for a year before that. The pain of her death would shock Brodo to the core,and would hurt his father almost beyond repair. The assailant had escaped amid the confusion after the shooting. Brodo swore that he would find the disgusting peon who thought he could destroy his family, and show him just how much stronger he is from the experience. And he would show him no mercy, no quick death, no dignity in death. Brodo's blood threat would become a legend among the high society of the Shaevalian home planet.
A young Brodo.
A scant four years after his near death experience and the resulting coma, Brodo was fitter than many men his age. Instead of just surviving, Brodo had prospered, his newly found desire to survive by being the fittest, the strongest, the fastest, led him to train his body for the majority of the day. He didnt spend his time learning from books, like most of his generation. His time was spent making long treks through the wildernesses of which border the capital city of the planet. He would spend more and more time on these treks, often spending the majority of the time at a near running pace.
During one of his sojourns into the dark wilderness, he came across a small cottage. Not expecting to find such a structure in this area, he tentatively knocked on the door. The door swung open a moment later, revealing a much shorter human, drapped in an old, tattered cloak and dressed in a cream and yellow coloured tunic. The human invited Brodo in, speaking in Basic, but with an accent Brodo had never heard before. He offered Brodo some water, which he took gladly.
The Hermit.
Then the man began to talk. Brodo had never heard these stories before, but found himself inthralled in their intricity. These tales were tales of the feats of warriors little known to him, called the Jedi. These warriors bore swords of light which could cut through just about anything, and had powers only they could use. They could influence minds and matter at will. They were peacekeepers in a galaxy of chaos, as the old hermit called them.
Brodo begged for more stories when they heard a noise outside. The hermit smiled to himself and stood, the cloak falling away from his shoulders. On his belt hung a beautifully decorated lightsaber. At the emitter was a sculpted silver tiger's head, maw open around the emitter and the butt was shaped like the talon of an eagle. He pulled the hilt from his belt and flashed a toothy smile at Brodo, and said "They have come to kill me, young one. And they will probably succeed. My only request is that once I have fallen, that they not leave with either my body or my lightsaber. I entrust this lightsaber to you."
The hermit lit the lightsaber, its pale green glow filling the room. With a battle cry worthy of any Shaevalian war hero, he charged out of the cottage to contront those who had come to kill him. Brodo followed him, but stopped at the door way, his jaw dropping at the sight before him. The old hermit had transformed, in moments, in a mighty Jedi soldier, his lightsaber flashing brightly as he cleaved through his assailants. These assailants were clothed only in black, with red tinted goggles where their eyes would be. They carried with them lightsabers of their own, but in a red hue.
But the odds were against the Jedi; eight on one is never fair, no matter who you are. When the Jedi finally did fall, he had already been wounded multiple times, and had cut all but one of his enemies down. Brodo had stared at awe at the display of raw power and finesse up until that moment, when he realized that having witnesses was not something these assailants would've wanted. The last remaining opponent looked to Brodo and advanced.
The only weapon that Brodo had on him as his long bladed knife, used to cut his way through the folliage. It would not stand up to a lightsaber. Brodo looked to the Jedi's body for a moment before deciding what he would do. He cocked his arm back before launching the knife as fast as he could towards the man. As soon as he could he followed in the knifes wake, his course taking him past the Jedi's body, and the lightsaber which had fallen beside him. Brodo grabbed the lightsaber and lit it in one fluid motion before bring it up towards his opponent. Distracted by the flying knife, the man was caught on his side by the green blade of the lightsaber Brodo was weilding, cleaving him clean in half.
Brodo breathed deeply and looked around him, extinguishing the lightsaber. He turned to the Jedi's body, and picked it up. As he did, however, the body began to fade and disappear. Brodo knew what this was from the stories he had been told just earlier. The old Jedi had rejoined the Force.
This experience had many deep impacts on Brodo. He kept the lightsaber of the Jedi, but made sure that it was always hidden, lest it be found and he would have to answer questions. He ran the battle over and over in his mind, and tried to copy and reproduce the moves that both the Jedi and the men trying to kill him had accomplished. He had limited success. One thing that came from this episode in Brodo's life, was that he believed now more than ever that he would need to be armed at all times, and he set about aquiring a weapon for his personal protection.
- 61 BBY - Weapon's Beginning.
While such an act is forbidden before adulthood, Brodo has promised himself that he would create a weapon to protect himself and his family. This promise he made in secret, so no complaints or objections were raised. He didnt even mention it to his father, though Korvem did suspect something had changed around his son.
But as the saying goes, the doing is often far harder than the saying. While Brodo had been searching the forests and jungles of Shaevalis Prime, he had barely scratched the surface of the vastness of the planet. He had not gone near the Hermit's cottage since the incident, which prevented him from searching a rather large region of forest. As he looked down the mountain, Her'Luk Peak, he felt his heart steel over with grief and remorse, knowing that to accomplish his promise, he would need to pass that cottage again.
The Ferrum Cartilumnar.
He approached the cottage at a reluctant pace, his hand squeezing the hilt of the old Hermit's lightsaber. It had been over 7 years since he'd been here, and barely anything had changed. The bodies of the enemy had disappeared, either by their back up or by the various large carnivores which lived in the forests. The cottage was slightly overgrown with weeds and vines but still habitable. On a moment's thought, Brodo decided to have a look inside.
The cottage was small by Brodo's standards, as his head was barely an inch from the roof, and he had to stoop each time he came near an illumination fitting. There was a small simple bed, a fire pit and various items of furniture. The one piece of interest, to Brodo anyways, as a floor to ceiling bookcase made of a strangely grey wood, and was full of datacards and infochits. As Brodo approched it, the hairs on the back of his head rose, and an air of apprehension set in. He took the nearest Datacard and began to read.
Most of it was planetary and cultural information about thousands of planets and star systems, which seemed to be controlled by a governing body called the Republic. This 'Republic' interested Brodo, which spurred on his reading. He spent most of the day reading, and after setting a fire and cooking a small mammel for dinner, he resumed. He found stories of great battles in the past, and the duels between dark and light Jedi.
One infocard, however, caught Brodo's attention. It described a plant called the Ferrum Cartilumnar, the Broken Iron Tree. It stood tens of meters tall, and it's wood had a very special property. It was basicly a nearly indestructable metal which, when melted and forged, would crack like the grain and bark of a tree. Upon reading this, something clicked in Brodo's mind. The bookcase was built with this Ironwood! Brodo searched for more references to this wood and locations. But it was to no avail.
The following morning, Brodo got ready to go home. He had decided to make this cottage his lodge away from home, to allow him to search further into the forests. He searched the forests for year, and then another. He found no material suitable for his needs. Upon returning to the cottage, Brodo looked to the sunset, the star of his planet dipping away. Then in the distance, a man strode towards him. He was bent over slightly, and walking with a cane.
Ironwood Spear
"Hello young one" the man said. Brodo's eyes widened, as the man in front of him was dead. The Hermit! The Hermit smiled, and explained how he was there, as the Force allowed him to return to those who he trusted and had a connection with. After the initial shock wore off, Brodo asked the Hermit about the Ferrum Cartilumnar. The Hermit seemed surprised but just smiled, and pointed to the tree which grew behind the cottage, "There it is, young one. Have you not looked there? Use my lightsaber, and cut away the bark, then cut a piece of the wood away. This will be your weapon. A spear of great power and size. Use it wisely". The Hermit then faded slowly, leaving Brodo with more questions than answers.
He did, however, follow the Hermit's instructions. The wood was pliable and strong at the same time, allowing Brodo to carve it into a straight and streamline haft for a spear. Upon returning home, he crafted a spear head from a small amount of very tough metal that the Shaevalian use to build their largest battleships.
At least he had a weapon of strength and worth. He called his Ironwood Spear by the name he had found in the infocards: Ferrum Peregrinus, the Iron Crusader.
Quinlan Vos born
Brodo meets Quinlan Vos, and learns for the first time of his Force sensitivity. This meeting has a profound effect on Brodo, as he has found out that he would be cast out of his family if they knew. He decided to keep it to himself, and tried his best to hide it. He also resists the pressure of Quinlan to go to the Jedi Academy.
- 46 BBY - Military Academy
Brodo joins the Nul Armed Forces (NAF). As a young adult he learnt the ways of the Nul military, both on the field and off. His skills in martial combat grew greatly, his prefered weapon being the spear.

This offer is accepted by Brodo, on the condition that his men be accorded the same respect, honours, and benefits as befits what they have done in the past few years.

He decided that his tenure in the Emperor's Hammer should come to an end. So a small group of his loyal officers, a couple Dark Jedi and Brodo, fled into the vastness of space. They finally find their way to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where his men are treated well as befitting war veterans. Brodo joins the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Present Day
Names
Throughout the years, Brodo has had to change his name on several occasions either to assume a new identity, or to hide his current one. Here is a quick list of the ones he used and where/what for:
- Nul'Brodo'a - Birth Name
- Brodo Tainer - Upon joining the Republic Army with his Commandos, he decided to take his mother's last name rather than his birth name, both to hide his heritage, and so as not to give the Administration any more headaches than it already had.
- Brent Tainer - Understanding the Xenophobia that the Imperials seemed to have, he changed his name to Brent Tainer to belie his roots even further, even though his race were very similar to humans.
- Decarat Tainer - After going AWOL from the Imperial Army, he found that using his old name probably wasnt a good idea. Changing his name to Decarat Tainer allowed him to join the Rebel Alliance without any problems.
- Brent Tainer - Again, he found himself in the service of Imperials, this time the Emperor's Hammer. He decided that his old name would probably be best to use, so show off almost, to the Grand Admiral of the EHSF.
- Eton Jade - He took this name both because of his joining the Jade family, as well as an alias to use for escape. The Emperor's Hammer didnt suit him anymore, and disappearing for a man of his status would be difficult. So he assumed the name and mannerisms of Eton Jade, and slipped away.
- Brent Ligur Victae - Shrugging off his fear of the Emperor's Hammer also meant he had to change his name. He rather liked the name Brent, and the Ligur came from the tattoo of a Liger on his chest. Ligur means "of the Liger". Victae, which means "victorious", was his family name, with his new wife Erianna.

Training Squads
Republic Commandos.
Tek - RC-9811 - Sergeant - Died of his wounds, attacked on Boz Pity. Survived long enough to call in orbital bombardment
Kad - RC-9812 - Sniper - Killed on Boz Pity by Droid'ikas
Holl - RC-9854 - Technician - Killed on Boz Pity by Droid'ikas
Mul - RC-9855 - Demolitions - Killed on Boz Pity by Droid'ikas
Aleph Squad was the first squad that Brodo trained. Training accidents before he got there meant that this team was actually two halves of two other squads. This formed two factions within the squad, Tek and Kad on one side, and Holl and Mul on the other. Alot of work was required even to get them to fight together. This is when Brodo took command of them. The first time he met the squad, Kad had Holl up against a wall, and was only being held back by Mul. Tek had come to meet Brodo as the sergeant of the squad. Brodo's large hand gripped and squeezed Kad, and pulled him away from his squadmate. Kad tried to take a swing at Brodo, but only recieved a kick half way across the room. This act alone formed Brodo's dominance over the squad. Aleph was always the rogue squad in Brodo's training platoon, always trying to push the boundaries, and do the best they could. The natural rivalry between the two factions in the squad has pushed them to overdo each other's feats, trying to beat each other in every way posisible.
