Character History
Hijuk Noctos - "Unholy Child"
The origins of Aticus Jade date back to Destavol Gin who was the living form of Aticus. Destavol Gin's history is all but lost records to the Brotherhood, and even to Aticus himself. Needless to say the last remnants of Destavol Gin's life was recorded in one final battle with an arch-rival Jedi Order member whom Destavol lay a curse upon as he died. Destavol was to be reborn as the Jedi's child. After striking Destavol down, the soul of Aticus was fused with Destavol's thus making what the ancient Jedi called Hijuk Noctos "An Unholy Child". The Jedi had no idea the horror his own flesh would bring into the world.
Aticus was born through death, killing his mother five minutes before he was cut from his mother womb by his father's lightsaber. The infant had almost died himself but to no surprise the strong soul of Destavol managed to keep the body and mind of the unborn child alive long enough for the father to remove the infant. Knowing that if the Jedi Order found out about him fathering a child, and even more the child killing the mother would result in the Jedi Master being removed from the order, so his child would have to be a secret...something that only worked to Aticus's advantage.
At the age of five Aticus was showing abnormal connections with the Force. Though the mind of body of Destavol was gone, his will lived strong with Aticus as the five year old was placing horrible nightmares in his father's head. Visions of rape, murder, mutilation and other horrible things. It would eventually drive his father from the Order, due to insanity. A price that Aticus's father had earned for killing Destavol. At the age of nine Aticus had driven his father insane and left him to rot in his own corner of the universe. Visions had been plaguing Aticus's mind - star routes, people that seemed familiar calling to him yet he had never met them before in his life. Aticus knew of the Jedi and of the Sith, and of the force. And inside he knew his natural hatred of the Jedi came from some bloodline that was made unaware to him. So he set off to seek out his past, but this was not easy for a nine year old boy with red eyes and a wild connection to the force. Horrible tragedies followed Aticus, causing him many near counters with death. It wasn't until a fight against trained mercenaries at the age of thirteen that Aticus was recognized by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
A Brotherhood of Darkness
A battle for government control was happening on the small planet of Ottus Prime. It was a backwater planet, with few resources and a big problem with crime. A bad place to make a pit stop, and an even worse place for a thirteen year old boy to try and survive. Aticus had been skipping aboard freighters for a while now, and had made his way to this planet on accident and had even managed to get stuck during a planet wide quarantine. If he was to be found by the authorities - they would know of his past and pry kill him. If he wasn't found by authorities he would pry end up being picked up and sold into slavery. It was during this time that Aticus picked up the name Khaos, for his own protection. Making his way threw the slums one day Aticus ran into some mercenary trouble. He was wanted on a few planets for three unexplained deaths, and these mercenaries were interested in finding a reason to leave the planet. Capturing Aticus would be the perfect reason since transport of a bounty over-ruled the quarantine laws.
Aticus had no intention on going with these men and was armed only with a blaster and his fathers lightsaber, which he had little knowledge of how to use either. The hand of favor was not with Aticus as he was easily taken by the mercenaries. However it appeared that Aticus's reputation had also attracted a follower. A man in dark torn robes was squatted in the rafters of a building, watching the whole situation with Aticus and the mercenaries. He was sent specifically to investigate this odd wild ripple that was coursing through the force. Seeing that the mercenaries intentions would harm his mission, the Dark Jedi had no choice but to intervene. With an amazing speed and accuracy a flash of light came from many different angles and in an instant the mercenaries fell holding in their organs or decapitated. Stunned in fear, but oddly use to the sight, Aticus couldn't move as a tall shadow formed over him.
"Boy, be grateful I was here today. And do not think I like you, as I hated you longer than you've known yourself. My name is Shadow Taldrya and you are going to come with me."
With that said the Dark Jedi whipped Aticus in the back of the head with his hilt and carried him off to a shuttle where they departed the planet quickly avoiding the quarantine.
Aticus remembered nothing of a Dark Jedi saving him, or even who he was for a little while. Conversations about him were all around him yet he saw no one. Finally a voice seemed to single him out and speak to him.
"You are the reborn Destavol are you not?"
asked the voice. Aticus began to reply until a flood of memories knocked him unconscious again. An entire lifetime of memories flooded the child's mind, thus knocking him into a coma for four years. Finally at the age of seventeen the young man awakened and realized what he truly was, and his true role in the galaxy...
The Grand Master's Royal Guard
As a young Dark Jedi Aticus progressed fastest in the lightsaber arts. He often tended to focus more on combat than the force itself, letting pure instinct and hunger for victory fuel his combat. Despite his level the young Guardian was capable of besting Dark Jedi Knights, and even an Obelisk Warlord once in saber combat. The skill Aticus had aquired was something very few force users had ever been gifted with - the ability to false cast his combat movements with the force. He of course did this unknowingly to begin with but eventualy perfected it.
This feat gained him entrance into the GMRG a while after his eighteenth birthday. Here he trained with lightsaber masters that to this day he could not defeat, but he learned much that would eventually mold him into a master saberist himself.
Time as a Rogue
Aticus had actively served in the Brotherhood until he was nineteen. He eventually began to grow weary of the leaders in the Brotherhood, and felt as if the truth behind Destavol Gin was being hid from him. He was still unaware that his father was the man that killed him formerly.. ..so Aticus became a Rogue Dark Jedi, cut off from the Brotherhood and began his own studies for the next few years of his life. He discovered many things out about himself during these years of self reflection. He learned to channel the force through different objects instead of using the force surrounding the objects. He also learned the secret behind his eyes.. ..his eyes were the same as Destavol's. they were known as Sharingan.
It wasn't until the age of twenty that Aticus returned to his fathers home to find that his father had regained his sanity...and that he now had a younger brother named Daunte. Aticus had finally realized his true form, his true identity as Destavol and decided his revenge was to be enacted now. His plan was to wipe out Jedi Master Amon Kashu, his wife Sara Kashu, and his younger brother Daunte Kashu.. ..He began with his step mother whom he simply crushed her spine with the force. Next was to be Amon himself. A fierce saber battle took place, placing a scar over Aticus's left eye (the same as Destavol's) but in the end the old Jedi Master had become weak and was unprepared for the return of his enemy. The final step would be to kill Daunte, but when Aticus found the child he was very surprised. His brother had his eyes, something he did not understand. So instead of killing Daunte he took the child to the Dark Brotherhood to have him studied, thus began the story of Daunte Kashu.
Clan Naga Sadow
Aticus had returned to the Brotherhood as an Eclectic Pedagogue with the Shadow Academy and had served generously for several months. However visions once again began to fill his mind. He was now 25 years of age and stood as one of the Brotherhoods powerful Equites. A Sith Lord named Naga Sadow had approached him in several visions - directing him to his Clan, promising him power and promising to unravel the untold history of his former self should he serve him well. Knowing that this could be his only chance, Aticus accepted the Sith Lord's offer and joined Clan Naga Sadow, and House Ludo Kressh where he began a growing chapter for himself.
After spending some time in the clan Aticus began to feel more attached and apart of it than he had ever felt to any clan in his whole time in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He had gained close and notable allies in the clan, some gifted in stratagy, others in combat, some simply being influential leaders - despite the fact of their expertise, the Sith had come to see value and worth in Lord Naga Sadow's clan. He moved his journey quikcly towards Clan Naga Sadow's combat. The Clan had been practicing deep in arts of the force that he himself were a bit astounded by the discoveries. But Aticus was also aware that in many cases the force was no match for a well planned and precise attack, with the power of the dark side backing it.
It was for this reason that he began to meet with his claimed brother, and fellow Sith - Horus Blackheart. The two were well attuned in goals to form a more strategic and better trained warrior for House Ludo Kressh. The two studied hard on the arts of war in their areas of specialty and became far stronger than most could have imagined. Even in his death Lord Ludo Kressh felt these warriors of his name and seeked them out. It was a matter of days before Ludo Kressh found both Horus and Aticus in the forrest of Aeotheran training.
He called to both of them to a more open area with oddly placed boulders and some with Sith runes incribed into them. Ludo Kressh told them this is where he himself had onced trained in seclusion away from all, and to build a training installation on these grounds and he shall bless it. Aticus and Horus were no fools and quickly moved to find the funds and resources needed for this training installation. Aticus donated almost 96% of the funds for the new installation. It took a month and a Sphere Stage 8X Battle Station was constructed.
Ludo Kressh returned to the two and showed he was pleased by calling both forward and to kneel before him. When both did he pulled a sword from a sheath on his side and blessed both Sith as his Paladins, sworn defenders of his name, his house, and his followers. The Paladins of Kressh was now officialy born and ready to establish.
The Xyler Family
Around the same time period as the Paladins of Kressh was born, Aticus was on a mission to meet with the Consul of Arcona on behalf of the Consul of Naga Sadow and stumbled across the path of an old ally. At first the two did not recognise each other, and sensing a powerful presence upon each other their natural urge was to silence the others. The two locked into a silent yet powerful battle of both the mind and blade. In the end Aticus was defeated but it was by this time that both recognised each others fighting style, and knew each other. Astonished at how far Aticus had progressed since their time together only a year or two before, Quejo brought Aticus before him no longer as an ally but as a brother in rites to the Xyler family.
At first Aticus was hisitant but as he served a while with Quejo he eventualy agreed to the idea of becoming a Xyler. The family had a history of well trained warriors and with Quejo now leading the family, the Sith knew he had an opportunity to further progress himself. So it was from there that Aticus became Aticus Jade Xyler, and a practitioner of the Xyler Saber Style.
Two Souls Merge
Not long after the Sith had joined the Xyler family and initiated the first Paladin of Kressh, Aticus had grown weak and near deathly ill. The cause was unknown and even the best of healers could not figure out his illness. It was neither mental, or physical - and the presence of the force could not be felt. So it was decided that it would be best to leave him to his rest for better or worse. Aticus was quickly taken into the protection of the Xyler family, were not even the Consul of Naga Sadow could have gotten to him without firt waging war with the family. For three weeks he lay dormant with no news sent to anyone.
During this period of time his brother Quejo Xyler tended to him as he was one of the few people that knew of the two souls in his body, and he knew this was not an illness but a struggle between Aticus and Destavol for control and from the looks of it Destavol was close to winning. Reports from family doctors state that Aticus had convulsions so hard that he would pop legs and arms out of sockets, and once even broke one of his rips.
A battle was being waged in what would have been an alternate dimension to most. It was not his mind, nor was it a place of physical beings. Destavol was a powerful Dark Jedi and easily tripled in power to Aticus. In this dimension the two faugt with odd swords of nothing but energy, no hilt, and battled using the force. There were no breaks, but in the end Aticus was out done. However before Destavol could finish Aticus, an intervension of some divine entity that made no metnion of its name made one statement to both while paralyzing them. "You are both one in the same, two halves that must be made whole. I will watch you fight no longer - you are both now Aticus Xyler."
And like that Aticus awoke like it was a nightmare. However his entire personality and preferences had changed. He was no longer the same person everyone had known him to be. His mixture with Destavol had brought him more wisdom, but also more rage and above all made him ruthless.
The Slaughter at the Vendos Academy
Aticus had returned to his positions of Dragon Paladin of the Paladin's of Kressh, and as a summit of House Ludo Kressh. The Paladin's were weak, but at the same time strong. There were but two Paladins of Kressh but they both intended to provide evidence of their worth. A simple disturbance notice gave them this opportunity.
The Quaestor of the house had recieved orders from the Consul's office that there was a report of a Jedi Academy planned to open close to clan territory. While it was the desire to stay hidden and watch, it appeared that the Jedi were planning on mass exploring the area to ensure a hidden location themselves, and this proved to be a problem. The Quaestor decided to test her new elite warriors. She sent them to a distant planet called Da'Luuda to find a means of removing the Jedi taint from clan territory.
Once arrived both Aticus and Horus made their way to the temple, masking their life presences as animals to ensure they wouldent be detected. It was a two day journey from where they had deployed but the two moved both day and night as if possessed. When they reached the temple they still masked themselves as simple stranded humans in need of food and shelter. The Jedi foolishly fell for the trick and gave them both food, bath and lodging for a night.
The next morning was a morning of red. The two awoke and in no sooner had their feet touched the ground had they began their attack on the temple. Horus and Aticus had secretly probed the academy for weak points during their stay for one day, and had studied the movements of staff and residents. It took them thirty minuets to decimate all forces in the building, all but the two Headmasters which they decided to take their time and enjoy. Once defeated however the entire training facility was a massacre of limbs, blood, and death - leaving a scar in the force for any Jedi to feel should they ever walk near these lands again. The two killed over seventy people at the academy which became known to the Jedi as the Slaughter at Vendos Academy. An unsolved mystery to them.
