Character History

A Born Warrior

Xedhur was born on the Zabrak home planet of Iridonia in the year 2 ABY to a pair of Zabrak parents, with one elder brother, an arena gladiator. As an infant, Xedhur had always respected his brother's strength and combat prowess as an arena combatant, and his work was the source of much of the family income. In his spare time, Xedhur would spar with his brother, and developed a closer bond with him than he did with his parents. This also caused him to develop strong swordfighting skills, and he always looked to follow in his brother's footsteps as a gladiator. In his school, his lack of academic proficiency was well known, but people tended to shy away from insulting him about it, knowing of his training with his brother. Xedhur's life began to take shape after his arena debut at the age of 16. In a duel using vibroblades, Xedhur brought about the premature death of another Zabrak close to his age. This sparked an illustrious career in the arena, and brought further income to the family.

A Rising Star

As Xedhur shed more blood, his reputation began to spread across Iridonia. The owners of the arena had selected both him and his brother as their representatives in an upcoming tournament on Ord Mantell. While he travelled there to make a name for himself, there was much more to happen in the tournament than mere dueling. Word of the championship didn't reach very far - only around 400 turned up to participate. All blades were blunted and all blasters were powered down to reduce the risk of death, but not negate it entirely. These days would change the Iridonian's path for the rest of his life. As a team, Xedhur and his brother had reached the semi-finals. Fighting alongside each other they both anticipated each other's actions, in the best show of teamwork out of the remaining combatants. The semi-final battle began, but halfway through a terrible accident occured -Xedhur's brother was impaled on the blades of a Wookiee pair. Xedhur continued the fight, finding he had a sixth sense, the ability to see attacks before they struck. As he gave in to his rage, he overcame the two Wookiees. The crowd went wild, except for one yellow female Twi'lek who barely moved, but was clearly impressed by what she saw. He found there was and emptiness inside him after his brother's death. He was forced to exit the tournament - the loss of his brother was overpowering, and likely to hinder his performance. As he contemplated his future, a stranger offered to sort everything out for him. Just remember one thing about Xedhur, about any Zabrak - do not insult his family, or it may be the last thing you do. This was the warning someone on Ord Mantell failed to heed, and they lasted no longer than a couple of seconds after the words were spoken.

A Stranger Calls

Xedhur decided to take a walk that night, mourning his brothers death. His path took him through the town, only to be distracted by something in an alley. As he came to a dead end, he turned around and saw a cloaked figure in the entrance. As the figure closed in, he panicked - there was something not right about this person. Xedhur charged into combat that night, only to end up with a sword at his throat, staring at the female Twi'lek in front of him. As the Iridonian laid eyes on the attractive Twi'lek, he was shocked to see how well she could wield a blade. Standing there he was told he had the chance to become something and not live like a fighter forever. The Zabrak took the opportunity gladly, and was told that his new life would begin soon after a journey to an undisclosed location. Boarding a ship, the journey began, and he headed towards his new life, which was in the hands of a complete stranger to him - and was sure to be one of the greatest adventures he would ever go on.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Unlocking Doors

" Cethgus, The Order of the Krath is not for you, your subtlety reminds me of a rancor I once knew."

― Laurus

Finding his ground they reached a planet called Judecca. At first sight, he was impressed. They accepted him with open arms and that same day he discarded his old name to take up a new one - Cethgus. Learning quickly of his true nature, the Zabrak was a fast learner in areas of combat - such was to be expected of a former gladiator - but he dwindled on how to use this door he was slowly unlocking. Continuing his training he marvelled at what he could learn, focusing on his training in the Dark Brotherhood. Cethgus was moved to Antenore where he soon became Tetrarch of a Battleteam named Ebon Cloak. However, he soon sought out to be different, learning that there was nothing he could identify with in the ranks of the Krath, and thus he joined the Obelisk order, returning to the ways of combat. Moving up in ranks, he became a Jedi Hunter.

Changing Winds

Cethgus' warbanner

Cethgus was soon given a master by the name of Impetus, who was the Twi'lek that had first brought him to the Dark Brotherhood . They both worked on their unique bond as Master and Student. Cethgus soon learned that anything Impetus did was always for Cethgus' benefit and began to respect his Master in time. Learning together they both walked on one line, improving as a team. Cethgus finalli started to move up in the hierarchy and with that he found a new spot as a Battleteam Leader, moving to House Caliburnus. Settling into the leadership spot, the Jedi Hunter started to work on his new subordinates before a changing wind swept over the Zabrak.

Going Places

Cethgus entered the darkest months of the Sixth Great Jedi War and revelled in the carnage which pursued, finding that his training in combat worked wonders for him in the conflict. However, he had one last task and knew that the last days of the War were his only chance to see his family. Resigning from his position in the Battleteam before the end of the war, the Zabrak deliberated upon how to get back to his home planet. Travelling to Judecca, Cethgus stole a transport ship from his Clan and headed towards Iridonia. Landing on the planet, his family greeted him with open arms. But as always, nothing was as it seemed. From out of the ship came two troopers that had hid on the stolen transport, and a battle ensued between Cethgus and the stowaways. In the end, one of the men was slain, whilst the other ran to the ship and managed to escape back to Judecca.

Family Trade

Cethgus found himself stuck on Iridonia with no means of getting off-planet. To make matters worse, the man he had killed bore the insignia of Clan Scholae Palatinae upon his armour. Cethgus knew things would only become worse if he didn't return and face his actions. His family supported him and in a sign of respect his father gave him his most prized posessions - two ships and a pilot droid. Bidding his family farewell for the last time, he headed back to Judecca, ready to face the results of his actions. Arriving on the planet, he was not greeted by the warmest of welcoming parties.

You Have Been Charged

Cethgus was greeted by Raidoner and a detatchment of soldiers as the Hunter stepped out of his ship. Whilst being escorted, he saw a familiar Wookiee by the name of Laurus, but was quickly moved on. Shown into a large chamber, he was faced Braecen Kunar, Thran Occasus, Zeron, and his Master, Impetus. He stood before them, the floor adorned by the CSP insignia. Braecen announced the charges as followed murder in the first degree and high treason. The debate that followed was a grueling one, but the verdict was inevitable: guilty. Cethgus was sentenced to banishment from the Clan compound for several months. If found there, the punishment would be much more severe. He was quickly escorted off-planet by the Clan's soldiers, head hung low in shame, but he knew he had gotten off lightly. Soon after, he headed back towards House Caliburnus' home planet.

Bad to Good

After an intense grueling by his Quaestor, Cethgus finally exited her office only to find out he had been promoted and finally gotten his Knighthood. Creating a saber, the Knight moved on from there and found that he was to be made a Flight Leader, but he resigned a week before a war broke out between the Clan's two Houses. Cethgus found himself fighting people he had know, and only after the war resigted did he realise the due which had followed out of the war both houses came to a draw evenly matched as they where. His Master moved to the opposing house. Looking to pick up the pieces, Cethgus found himself facing changes that would be for the greater good.

Something New

The Obelisk soon looked for a new mentor with his old Master leaving. He soon found a friend who was willing to help him understand new things in Dark Brotherhood. Kraval soon became a friend to Cethgus and they spent a lot of time working together and Cethgus tried to learn from Kraval on new things and put a new way of seeing things in the Brotherhood.

Your Choices

" It is better to move forward with your House than it is to be left in the Darkness "

―Cethgus

Cethgus, Laurus, Impetus and Malaki

Afterwards, there was a quiet time in the Dark Brotherhood -at least for a little while, before the Rite of Supremacy started. In the mists of battle the Zabrak found himself doing all he could for his clan, pushing himself to his limits. However, During the RoS not everything went to plan. Finding himself outnumbered, he awoke in his quarters injured, only just managing to get off the planet alive. Cethgus changed forever after that day. In his last action of the war he travelled to a planet and bought two droids for his ship, costing him a total of one thousand credits. After the war, Cethgus found himself looking towards the future. Cethgus made his choice that day - he would move towards the future with the Clan rather than sit back and watch.

Inheritence

" Cethgus? He tries so hard to be a Sith, but comes up short every time. He was born an Obelisk...Thick Head. Like a built-in Helmet... "

―ThranOccasus

Cethgus was soon given the rank of Templar, which would open new doors for him. A couple of days later, Cethgus found himself with an apprentice - Oísin dan Kael'Og. Walking the path of a Master, the Zabrak soon found that together their bond grew strong, learning that everything was a process of falling over, but getting back up and trying again. This bond stood strong and would continue to do so. With this new pairing also came another aspect. The Zabrak was shown into the battleteam Order of the Serpent, which was soon renamed Souls of Darkness. Staying in the battleteam, he began to work harder than ever on projects. Before long he found himself being given the position of Sergeant, and with pride he settled into his work. He soon changed his order to Sith - the Templar's choice was to learn about the order and took up his position as Commander.

Trip with Imp

The constant harsh training and the fresh burden of leadership on the Iridonian's shoulders had built up a lot of stress inside Cethgus - stress he knew was causing him to make wrong decisions, snap at his subordinates, and giving him many a restless night. He needed a break from Ptolomea, a break from the life of a leader, however short.

Impetus had never felt more at peace. She lived an active, yet rather relaxed role in Acclivis Draco, with a Twi'lek-human hybrid - her lover, Ararin Korin. But then a thought occurred to her. She had told Ararin about Siordan'a, her own royal city in the Ryloth Twilight band, a place separated from the rest of the galaxy, a place it seemed even the currents of time laid lost. But he had never been there. Impetus needed to take her love to Siordan’a, for they had plans that could only be executed there.

As she pondered the possibility with Ararin, she heard a bleep from her R6 droid - An incoming message from Cethgus. He requested his master's advice on what to do. The Twi'lek's sharp mind clicked in an instant. The three would go to Ryloth together.

Arriving on Ryloth Cethgus instantly found he was facinated by Impetus home yet again there people. Walking around with Impetus and Ararin was so relaxing the Warrior forgot completely about everything that had been troubling.

They meet up with Impetus old freind from when she was a Child. Her name was Shiol'la and Cethgus instantly found a liking towards the Twi'lek. But as hard as it was the Zabrak couldnt talk to Shiol'la she had such an effect on him.

It was only on the day when the wedding between Impetus and Ararin happend that Cethgus started to talk to Shiol'la who explained to him about what was happening. But all Cethgus saw was lots and lots of Fire.

Impetus and Ararin left without Cethgus who stayed to talk to Shiol'la and see the people they went around together. Shiol'la and Cethgus both had a liking for each other but neather was willing to let it slip out until the day Cethgus was leaving Ryloth.

Cethgus and Shiol'la both felt the same way about each other and since that day Cethgus offerd Shiol'la to come back to Ptolomea and the Twi'lek went with him. Since then these two are never seen with out each other neather leaving the other side often.

Back to War

Cethgus returned from his trip to find that the Brotherhood was now fighting a new foe - the Yuuzhan Vong. Fighting for his Clan, Cethgus was soon injured in a battle with a Vong warrior, only to be saved by Impetus. Cethgus substained an injury to his shoulder in the process, which healed fully just as the war ended.

Cethgus is still seen with Impetus, most of the time talking about their past, and normally the Zabrak is just happy to be around his Master again.

The warrior had fought in the war and came against many Vong. But one that will always be remembered was Tolok Naqh they both fought against each other in the mists of battle for hours. But finally exhaustion won the fight for Tolok Naqh. Slamming his Amp Staff into the Zabrak right shoulder sending the Warrior screaming on the floor in pain. It was only when Rasilvenaira StormRaven joined the fight helping her oldest student. Defeating the Vong with the help of Xathia who then both focused there attention on getting medical attention quickly for the injured Zabrak.

Waking up in a medical facility with war surrounding only to find that war had ripped from him a bright spark and soul of his battle team. A young boy should never die with his whole life ahead. Cethgus had been affected by the loss of Niemand and it had changed his whole look on life creating two parts to the Warrior and making him more respective of other people.

Changing Times

Soon after the war finished he decided to spend more time with Shiol’la. Knowing what it was like to take a life the Warrior decide to spend more time with the one he loved. Trying to find time to meet up with her was hard found these days with help being needed on Judecca more and more. But once they were together it was very rare to separate the two. Spending most of his evenings just strolling around the capital city. But over the war it had shown the Commander that losing a friend or even a loved one would be quick and decisive. Like a massive hand just reaching out and taking the life. It had scared the Warrior from the inside more than others would imagine. Taking out the harsh and bitter Zabrak and leaving him torn inside. Half his old self an angry and violent Zabrak ready to kill at any moment and one you didn’t want to cross. And the new bit him formed a caring and kind side which not many people knew of.

The Commander of Souls of Darkness made sure that most of the time he was around the Quaestor of Caliburnus. Protecting that person was the soul job of the battle team and there leader. Making Cethgus a very busy man over the past few days. But as time had scared the sith in more ways than one he suddenly had the though and he knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. So that day they decided to show what it meant to committed to something. So the feeling that he showed towards Shiol’la so he proposed to the Twi’lek that moment he arrived back at his make shift quarters.

Shot down in flames

""I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life." "

―Cethgus

As Rasilvenaira arrived at Dynasty Space Station the two battle teams prepared for their assault on Ptolomea. Yzarc and Nightmare were taking the ground attack while Rasilvenaira and Souls of Darkness took control of the air space, launching their assault against the Vong from Dynasty Station.

On contact with the Vong, the groups split up into their teams keeping with a wing man. Cethgus took it upon himself to be his Quaestor's wing man. The space combat was going well but the coral skippers were everywhere. Cethgus and Rasilvenaira soon found themselves being chased by a coral skipper.

Trying to avoid the ship wasn't the easiest thing, but at the same time another one joined in. With a perfect lock on the Quaestor, the Vong fighters closed in fast. Cethgus' last words were spoken in a proud voice as he said "I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life." With that he moved his Sith fighter into the path of the Coral skipper's lock.

The skippers let off the shots and they slammed into the back of the Commander's ship, sending the vessel down into the forest below. The Warrior was found by a group of advance scouts from the 4 th Legion. He had survived, but his ship was a twisted heap of metal

Life or limb

"A very fine warrior, your master is, he will sacrifice anything for his House"

―Yzarc speaking to Fionn dan Locut'Hal

Returning to aiding his house the Commander knew many challenges lay ahead of him. Joining up with House Caliburnus current Aedile Yzarc. Quickly finding themselves in the front line. Sabers and all other types of weapons clashed on the war field. Cethgus found for every chazrach he killed another three would step into that one’s place. Feeling his arms slowly turning heavier. The saber he was carrying started to feel like a weight.

Yzarc and the other Dark Jedi mixed up in the combat pushed forward. The Commander slowly moved towards their lines knowing he had to take the fight to them before it was too late. Pushing forward his reactions was to be his main strength in this battle. As a Vong Warrior stepped out he began to fight against the creature. Taking down the Vong Warrior he was suddenly jumped on by chazrach.

Pulling him to the ground the next thing the Sith knew was a great pain in his left arm. Screaming out he felt his robes being pulled on. Yzarc and the Dark Jedi were pulling him to safety and out of the way of any more harms. To the Commanders desperate attempt to kill the vermin he found himself laying on a medical bed. Finding it harder to pull them away Commander in his battle frenzy state of mind. His cryes of pain and rage were more worrying to the group of Dark Jedi than the Vong before them.

Feeling a strange tingling sensation down his left arm he looked down. From the Elbow downwards was now a metallic arm. Slamming his head back into the pillows he stared at the ceiling as Shiol’la tried to persuade him it wasn’t that bad. But what tore the Warrior up worse was he didn’t kill the scum that did this to him.

The next day he reported to Rasilvenaira Kaeth StormRaven and told her the news of what had happened. And then insisted on returning to full active duty and to continued to fight against the Yuuzhan Vong until they were completely gone from the system.

Without Warning

Moving on

Cethgus soon found that things were on the way up for House Caliburnus. Whilst he wasn’t busy much he found that most of his time was spent wandering around the empty hall. After a couple of weeks off thinking about ideas. The Templar requested to be transferred into House Dorimad Sol, needing a change of scenery. As he left his old house, Shiol’la decided not to come with the Templar instead ending their marriage and staying with Impetus on Ptolomea. Leaving for his new House the Obelisk had no idea of what challenges would await him.

Unpredictable event

" Marriage is a sacred institution, or so they say. Has anyone ever noticed that 'sacred' is just the word 'scared' misspelled? I did, and was as scared as they came when I recited my vows. Now I wonder why I was so scared in the first place."

―Kara Incendia Zor-El

Kara and Cethgus had met from their parents being friends for years. Though Kara and Cethgus knew each other, it was only as friends, until the day they met in Clan Scholae Palatinae, and where Cethgus started a conversation. Kara started to realise that the Zabrak she’d known only in passing was someone she wanted to know better. She decided to exchange information with the Templar, and see what came of it. As he was one of her own kind, Kara felt it couldn’t hurt anything. It wasn’t like she was romancing an off-worlder or someone outside her race.

After a long while of getting to know each other. the two members decided that, they were both ready to step things up. After a while both of them decided to get married. Kara changed her name to Kara Incendia Zor-El, and the two became one. Cethgus changed his name to Cethgus Incendia Zor-El. Both finally found another person who was like them. Together the two married and aimed at the future.

Independent Games

As Commander for the Blades of Chaos, Cethgus had not had a chance to display his battle teams’ expertise and strengths. This was an event that allowed them to fight for the Clan and work as a well-net team to defeat their foes. During this time the templar found himself in his office working on strategies with his Executive Officer, Robin Hawk.

At times when they were almost at each others throats and challenging each other on the procedures needed to win the war, Cethgus blood filled with an energy that was not the cause of the little battle they waged in his office. While she talked about her thoughts regarding their plans of battle, he occasionally drifted off and caught himself checking out other aspects of the female.

Death by the Vong's

Cethgus, Tashlan, Korvyn, RobinHawk all stood back to back fighting with the well known fury of house Dorimad Sol. The Vong had attacked the four of them; they started to find that their numbers against the Vong’s were on the losing side. Feeling exhausted the group had already been fighting for long enough. But Cethgus was their still at the front taking revenge for his arm that he had lost in the first attack the Vong had given.

Robin Hawk was helping at the back killing as well, but the one deteriorating the most was Tash who is unable to keep up this level of fighting for very long. He started to see that his Student was going to endanger himself, moving back by the time he got to Tashlan the two of them were surrounded and separated from Robin Hawk and Korvyn.

As the two kept fighting, Cethgus soon found himself on the back foot. As an attack came through that would have speared the Obelisk. He couldn’t react in time, but Tash did it for him diving into the way of the attack. Cethgus howled in rage as the weapon speared his Student in front of him. Slumping onto the floor the Obelisk found his apprentice on the floor bleeding, he fought for his own life again trying to kill the Vong’s. Suddenly the Vongs just retreated and without another word he suddenly saw the Vong’s flee in front of him running away.

Cethgus was left their gripping Tash in his arms, holstering his head up as he was in a state of deep breathing. His voice was very shallow, and he was unable to catch his breath, Robin Hawk and Korvyn looked at Tash, blood slowly soaking into Cethgus’s robes. He managed to speak but it was only just hear able his last words. Cethgus decided to end Tash suffering and activate his saber into his student’s chest, killing him instantly.

Saber

Cethgus values his saber as much as he values is own life. He uses the weapon in every fight he has been in since he made the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

But after some scalvaging the weapon he had once created for his Master soon became how weapon. Using it in fights of course it had to be downgraded from his Masters old weapon because of the damage it took but it glows bright red when full heated and will take flesh of any opponent.

Night Bringer

Night Bringer

Cethgus recently recived a Katana called the Night Bringer. It is a sword given to those in the Blades of Chaos Battle Team.
