History
Celahir Erinos has led a short life, however it has been eventful. Below are the events that shaped the Kiffar into the being he is today.
Beginnings
Celahir Erinos was brought into the galaxy humbly and without incident, where his mother gave birth to him a little prematurely in transit to Fondor, with her husband. There, the new family settled with Celahir’s father becoming a prosperous consultant for the shipyards, whilst his mother worked as a mid-level administrations official for the local government. The youth was brought up in the wake of post empire optimism by a loyal set of peoples to peace and democracy – his parents were staunch supporters of the New Republic, however as with most youngsters, Cel found himself rebelling from their political stances for no other reason than to express himself. He ran away a number of times and ended up in a lot of trouble from the local authorities for petty crimes such as theft and disturbing the peace. He was expelled from every school he ever attended, and in desperation the parents enrolled Celahir in a martial academy, where discipline was strictly enforced, as were several controversial skills in combat (with view of the graduates eventually becoming proud members of the New Republic’s armed forces). Whilst Celahir’s scholastic pursuits were as futile as his previous schools, he took to the hand to hand training with reckless abandon. It was this saving grace, becoming something of a prodigy.
However, all too soon Celahir once again became bored with the mundane routines of the academy and stole out during the night to the seedier districts of his hometown of Oridin. There he made the particularly unfortunate mistake of picking a fight with a pair of Mandalorians, Kieran and Sashar Erinos. Whilst he displayed a proficiency beyond his years with hand to hand tactics, it is rare that one without armour who’s only weapons are fists and feet are able to take down an armed foe wearing armour. Such was the case here. Celahir was defeated in the bar brawl that followed, however, even at the tender age of 12 he displayed an alacrity with the force. This prompted Kieran and Sashar to abduct the young kiffar and make off with him to Dxun, where he was ingratiated into the Kodiak Clan’s ranks.
Re-education
For the next three years, Celahir was brought up among the Mandalorians of Dxun, training in the harsh, relentless jungles with Kieran, Sashar and Juda’s ner’vod. Celahir expressed little desire to return to his parents, feeling that they had held him back long enough and that he was now old enough to make his own way in the universe. Once again, Celahir’s short attention span and lack of discipline initially caused him some friction with his training masters and with Kieran and Sashar’s father, who had adopted the youth. This meant that Sashar was called back from Arcona to help with his training. The two worked closely on Celahir’s discipline, background skills that all Mandalorians were expected to learn, and the basic tenets of Mando lore and culture. It was during this one-on-one training in the depths of Dxun’s wilderness that Sashar discovered Celahir had an aptitude for Psychometry, and was also force sensitive, however he didn’t immediately reveal this to the youth. Instead, he focused on the Kiffar’s hand to hand abilities, training him as a beserker first and foremost.
Once the Erinos was satisfied that his charge was fully manda and as Celahir was now fifteen, Sashar brought him back to the Brotherhood with him, but instead of installing him in clan Arcona, where he would be under constant threat from his many political rivals, the mandalorian suggested that his little brother join a more stable clan – Tarentum. Sashar was known to have friends and allies in both the Erinos and the clan’s summit that would protect him and also tutor him in the ways of the Force. Archean Erinos (an old friend of the Mandalorian’s) took Celahir under his wing as an apprentice.
Celahir progressed slowly but steadily through the ranks, spending the worst two years in Brotherhood history progressing through the Journeymen ranks, kept far from the worst of the Vong war. As his trials neared the the stability of Arcona was ensured by Sashar and Mejas Doto, the Proconsul of the Shadow Clan requested that Celahir return to him, albeit with Archean still as his master. By now, the Kiffar was 17 and becoming a warrior in his own right. To recognise his budding ability as a warrior, Sashar suggested that he join the ranks of the Erinos, to fill the gap he’d left. All that remained was besting the storm of his Knighthood trials.
Appearance
Celahir Erinos stands at just 1.7m in height – not the most intimidating of figures. His build is compact, yet there is very little fat coating his frame. He is still young and lacks the musculature that most brawlers and beserkers prefer, however that is not to say he is weak, and it is clear that he pays attention to his physique. He also maximises on his agility granted by such a lithe frame. He is unmistakably Kiffar in his appearance, and has a large tribal black tattoo covering the left half of his face. The tattoo runs down his neck to the back of his shoulders, a graceful, curving thing done out in black (homage to his mother’s identical tattoos, thus showing his ancestry) that creeps over his shoulders, its trails like claws reaching to his collarbones. His hair is short, black and spiked up, and his eyes a vivid green. With a tanned complexion and heavy brows, it often gives the youth a dark, troubled look, however there is still a youthful exuberance hidden within.
Psychological Profile
The Kiffar has discipline issues, not taking well to authority, despite going through the rigours of Mandalorian training. This stubborn nature and obstinate reaction to authority leads him to not be a team player or work well in the disciplined structure of the Dark Brotherhood, however there are a few notably exceptions – he respects his hand to hand trainer on Fondor, he displays a grudging respect for his adoptive father on Dxun, and generally listens to Sashar and Archean. Other than this, the quiet arrogance of youth shines through.
The Force
Cel, like a lot of the Mandalorians in the Brotherhood finds the more mystic applications of the force beyond him, and instead he focuses on the ‘internal’ side, using the force to augment his own strength, speed and endurance. Other than that, he does display a talent with Psychometry, but this is put down to his Kiffar heritage more than anything.
Combat
Whilst he has a passing familiarity with bladed and ranged weapons, Celahir chooses to concentrate on hand to hand, specifically with his chosen martial art of Broken Gate. The rooted stance, focus on blocks and kicks rather than evasion and misdirection and direct approach to beating ones’ opponent to submission is the perfect expression of Celahir’s no nonsense approach to warfare.
