[[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya]] had a standing order saying that if he were to die while [[Quaestor]] of [[House Archanis]], his personal effects were to be given to his successor.  After his death in the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]], [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|Taku's]] few possessions were transfered to Andan, including four lightsabers.  The first is a simple lightsaber constructed from parts [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|Taku]] removed from the lightsaber of the first Jedi he killed.  This lightsaber was of a simple tube with rings cut into it to aid in grip; the crystal used produced a brilliant orange blade.  The second lightsaber was built during [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|Taku's]] time in Clan Alvaak and is purple and features an extra long blade, as was customary in the clan.  Both of these lightsabers are kept in a display case in Andan's office on [[Volcanus]].  The third lightsaber is based on the lightsaber carried by the then-Chancellor Palpatine and also features a purple blade, although this was a normal length saber and does not show affiliation with Clan Alvaak.  The fourth saber is a unique one with a red leather wrapped handle and a stylized hilt from a bladed sword.  There is also a small Taldryan crest inlaid in the hilt of the saber; the blade is white.  Although Andan felt honored to carry the lightsaber used by such an esteemed member of Taldryan, he chose to honor the memory of [[Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya|the former Quaestor]] by building a new lightsaber with the same hilt.  The blade on this latest lightsaber is an intense orange and Andan plans on converting it to dual phase once he acquires the parts and knowledge to do so.  This saber is the one he uses on a daily basis, although he will often also carry the white bladed version as a back up if he expects trouble.

Character History

Childhood

Andan Taldrya Marshall started out life as one of many Zabrak colonists on Talus in the Corellian system. His parents were normal – hardly worth mentioning; his childhood was average for a settler on a Zabrak colony. That average life changed when imperial Inquisitors visited Talus after hearing rumors of a Jedi hiding on the planet. They didn’t find the Jedi, but they discovered a force-sensitive Andan and took him with them to train.

Teen

It was 5 ABY when Andan, a 15 year old who had just been through his rite of passage and received his facial tattoos, was taken by the Inquisitors. They brought him to Coruscant where they gave him training in the Dark Side as well as Jedi hunting. After two years of hard training he was given the rank of Inquisitor.

Most of the Jedi had already been hunted into extinction, so Andan’s main task was to seek out other force-sensitive and bring them back for training. He was known for being rather good at his job; Andan would regularly bring two or three potential Dark Jedi back from each assignment, whereas others would bring one back every few times they went out. Andan was also a very persuasive interrogator and was regularly called back from assignments to extract information from prisoners who were being uncooperative.

Adult

In a surprising turn of events, the Inquisitors learned of a group called the Dark Jedi Brotherhood who were reported to be a group of Dark Jedi working with an imperial warlord, the self-appointed Grand Admiral Ronin. Andan was sent with orders to investigate the group and bring back a few of their members for interrogation. However, when he finally found the elusive group of Dark Jedi his plans quickly changed.

Upon arrival, Andan was quickly impressed with the group of Dark Jedi. So much so, in fact, that he decided to abandon his position as an Inquisitors and join this group of Dark Jedi.

Andan progressed through the Shadow Academy quickly, most likely due to his previous training as an Inquisitors. However, information about him between his graduation from the Shadow Academy in 16 ABY and 27 ABY is hard to come by. It is known that Andan worked directly under the various consuls who lead Clan Taldryan, but the exact work he did is a secrete only known by the consuls he worked under and Andan himself. During this time he was awarded the Taldrya name and made a Son of Taldryan.

During the Fall of Antei in 27 ABY, Taldryan suffered a tremendous loss: Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya, the Quaestor of House Archanis, was killed in battle. Duga Taldrya Arkarso, Consul of Taldryan, quickly contacted Andan and informed him of Taldryan’s problem. Andan stepped up and replaced Taku as Quaestor. Battlefield promotions are never the smoothest transitions, but that is made even worse when the promotee was virtually unknown except for members of the clan summit. Andan was able to transition into power as easily as anyone could be expected to in that situation and he led his house during the remainder of the conflict and continues to do so to this day.

During 28 ABY, House Archanis was closed once again due to lack of membership. Andan transfered to House Ektrosis at this time, where he stays to this day. He kept his title as Viceroy of Volcanus out of necessity - someone had to run the planet.







Lightsabers

Two lightsabers currently used by Andan
Another saber that Andan received from Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya


Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya had a standing order saying that if he were to die while Quaestor of House Archanis, his personal effects were to be given to his successor. After his death in the Eighth Great Jedi War, Taku's few possessions were transfered to Andan, including four lightsabers. The first is a simple lightsaber constructed from parts Taku removed from the lightsaber of the first Jedi he killed. This lightsaber was of a simple tube with rings cut into it to aid in grip; the crystal used produced a brilliant orange blade. The second lightsaber was built during Taku's time in Clan Alvaak and is purple and features an extra long blade, as was customary in the clan. Both of these lightsabers are kept in a display case in Andan's office on Volcanus. The third lightsaber is based on the lightsaber carried by the then-Chancellor Palpatine and also features a purple blade, although this was a normal length saber and does not show affiliation with Clan Alvaak. The fourth saber is a unique one with a red leather wrapped handle and a stylized hilt from a bladed sword. There is also a small Taldryan crest inlaid in the hilt of the saber; the blade is white. Although Andan felt honored to carry the lightsaber used by such an esteemed member of Taldryan, he chose to honor the memory of the former Quaestor by building a new lightsaber with the same hilt. The blade on this latest lightsaber is an intense orange and Andan plans on converting it to dual phase once he acquires the parts and knowledge to do so. This saber is the one he uses on a daily basis, although he will often also carry the white bladed version as a back up if he expects trouble.

Taku Matsuki Taldrya's Lightsaber has recently become a relic of House Archanis and, as the last Quaestor of House Archanis, he holds the lightsaber.
