Celevon Alexander Edraven is an Assassin within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Both his parentage and place of birth are unknown to him. He is wanted for murder on several systems under various aliases. He is a member of the Obelisk Order. He is currently a Dark Jedi Knight of House Galeres within Clan Arcona. He is a Corporal within the Arcona Army Corps and a member of the Elite Battleteam Soulfire Strike Team under Sergeant Talos Erinos as a Sniper.

History

Life Before The Brotherhood

Early Life

Very little is known of Celevon’s life before he was discovered wandering the outskirts of the city of Iziz on the planet Onderon at the age of twelve. His earliest memory, before waking up in the medical facility, is of bright flashes of light, heat and pain, which he assumes is how he received his head wound. However, due to a feeling of familiarity after waking up, he considers Onderon to be his home planet. Also, because of the scans on his body immediately after arrival at the medical facility, he knows he was born near the end of the seventh month, eleven years after the Battle of Yavin.

Awakening

Upon being discovered walking with a bleeding head wound, a Lieutenant of the Onderon Military saw him collapse to the ground, unconscious. Shortly thereafter, he was taken to a nearby medical facility. He awoke to a small room, and a young male doctor checking his vitals, a few days later. The young preteen, then called Raven by the doctors at the facility, due to his unusually dark hair, was diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, meaning that he had no memory of anything before receiving the head wound. Several months later, Raven had gone through a large number of books, mostly historical texts, and one that he thought was fictional until later in his life. It detailed battles between Jedi and Sith, or Dark Jedi, for countless millennia. By this time, the doctors had lost their original optimistic view that the young boy would receive some of his memories back, and told him that he would need to choose a new name for himself. Not long after, he chose the name Celevon Edraven: ‘Celevon’ being an ancient word that meant silver for his first, and combining the two words Ed, who was his favorite doctor, and Raven to create his last name. During the years he stayed at the medical facility, he learned a variety of things: From the young doctor he saw upon his awakening, Marcus, he learned the basics of medical treatment, and the medical use of a knife; from J’akked, or Ed, who was former military, (though Ed never told him who he served under, or on what side) trained him in the use of a sword, the basics of how to safely handle and fire a blaster, and in hand-to-hand combat, amongst other varied skills. It was from Ed that Celevon learned he was a force sensitive, with Ed using memories to describe why he thought this. This occurred when he was fifteen years of age. One that stood out for Celevon was after he had awoken from a nightmare to see a number of doctors around him, all talking at the same time. Celevon screamed, and all the doctors in the room were pushed back at least five feet, some more than that. After learning of this, Celevon began meditation, hoping to learn to consciously use his hidden powers. Ed brought in an older man to train Celevon in how to feel the force, and to tap into it to augment his normal skills, as well as sensing it in others. Celevon never saw the old man again, though he did search relentlessly in the years following his release.

Release

Finally, after nearly five years in the facility, and loads of convincing on his part as well as a full medical scan by the doctors until they were satisfied, that Celevon was finally released from the medical facility. He immediately set out to find a job, to earn a few hundred credits before moving on, finding another job, moving, and starting over again. And that continual cycle kept going until two years later, after traveling to different planets, that he became both a smuggler and a weapons dealer. Due to this job, he increased his combat skills, especially those with his sword, daggers, and varied types of blasters. He kept this job for two years, before his partner, Derrik, tried to have him killed. When confronted, Derrik tried to lie and say that he had nothing to do with it, though Celevon could see the truth of it in his eyes. Several hours later, emergency personnel arrived at the home to find the home in flames, and, after putting them out, found the owner, one Derrik Malachi, had been skillfully and meticulously tortured using the dagger they found embedded in his throat. While emergency personnel had been putting out the fire and searching the home, Celevon was already on his way back to Onderon, and had sold his and Derrik’s ship for 15000 credits.

Discovery

After arriving on Onderon, Celevon had sensed a large presence in the force deep within the jungles. Before he could do anything about that, he used 10,000 credits at a smith to have a personalized sword made, as well as several dozen daggers in a black metal, with himself adding engravings in silver afterwards. Once his sword, which has a black blade, with both edges sharpened, while the hilt is black, with dark grey wrappings, and black daggers were finished, he tested them, and finding them in good condition, paid the talented smith. Celevon also bought some food and water, and set out to find out what the huge presence he sensed in the jungle was. It was several days later, that he stumbled onto a large training area of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Needless to say, he joined once given the opportunity. Mere days later, he received his transfer papers to the Independent house, Arcona. Hours later, Celevon settled down for the long journey to the Dajorra System, the planet Selen, where he would meet his new family within Arcona's Citadel.

The Brotherhood's Embrace (32 ABY - Present)

Learning

Once Celevon had settled into Arcona, he dove into the knowledge provided like a man dying from dehydration who discovers a large pool of water. Less than a month after joining, Celevon was at the rank of Acolyte. Celevon was due to be promoted within the next day, when the Rollmaster, Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae introduced Celevon to Sashar Arconae, leader of Arcona's Special Operations Squad, Soulfire Strike Team who had an interesting proposal: For Celevon to join the highly selective battleteam. Celevon accepted the invitation almost immediately after it was offered, and chose the specialization of Sniper. After completing the Killing House (Short Assault Course), Celevon was formally welcomed into Soulfire's ranks. Mere hours later, Celevon was promoted to the rank of Protector. It was during this time that Celevon recruited a young man into the Brotherhood by the name of Apophis Undomiel. At the Shadow Academy, Celevon focused on a wide variety of subjects, though Combat and History were his main course of study.

Chains that Bind

While Celevon was still a Protector, Sashar and he entered into a cooperative contract with Arcona Contract Bureau, in which the duo was tasked with the elimination of an information broker. At that point, the duo only had his name: Celsus Fal'tir. In order to get a face to go with the name, Celevon was alone given the task of eliminating a Navigator by the name of Aaron Vicks. Once Celevon saw the picture of the man, he had a flashback to four years prior, when he was gathering information with Derrik Malachi, they recorded a young twi'lek being led into a hotel. The video showed the man leaving the hotel alone, looking extremely shifty. Not long after, they discovered that the girl had been murdered. Out of curiosity, Celevon investigated this, and gathered the information on the case. Once Celevon had regained his bearings, he traveled to Giletta Spaceport, where he publicly executed Aaron Vicks, before escaping within seconds of the man dying with a dagger in his throat. After being haunted by this for many years, Celevon finally avenged the ghost of his past. It was at the end of this mission that Celevon met his friend, and later adopted brother, Talos Erinos.

Days of Guarding

Four months later, Celevon was promoted to the rank of Guardian. During his time as a Guardian, Celevon improved his skills in combat, which included receiving a Dark Maven Shadow Academy Degree in two subjects: General History and Combat. After passing an exam at the Shadow Academy, Celevon was given a position within the Grand Master's Royal Guard, which he wasn't expecting. As far as Celevon was concerned, it was just a history exam, until he received a notice that he was given the honor of being within the First Echelon of the Grand Master's Royal Guard. During his time as a Guardian, Celevon received an Anteian Cross for his dedicated service to his House and Battleteam. After learning of this, Celevon changed from the Sith Order to the Order of the Obelisk, after realizing that it was more attuned to his personality. After six months of being a Guardian, Celevon was again promoted. This time to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

The Hunter

Less than an hour after receiving this promotion, Celevon was approached by Sashar, who wanted to discuss the design of Celevon's lightsaber with him. After Sashar left, Talos showed up, wondering if Celevon wanted to spar. An hour later, once again in Celevon's quarters, Celevon discussed his idea to become Blood Brothers with Talos, through the use of a ritual. After the discussion, Celevon received news that someone was searching for him. After the conversation, where Celevon told the man "to have 'Ripper' deal with him", Talos was curious, especially with the fact that Celevon used the codename 'Stalker'. At Talos’ prompting, Celevon explained how he had been approached by a man who offered to train him when he was seventeen. And that the man had trained him in the way of the Assassin while improving on Celevon’s fighting skills. How he was given the codename of ‘Stalker’ due to the manner of which he pursued and eliminated his targets. How he found and took on a student of his own after he had completed his own training. How the student, originally known as simply ‘Jake’, was later adopted by Celevon as a younger brother and renamed Jacen Orion Edraven with the codename ‘Ripper’. After the explanation, Celevon contacted Jacen to setup a meeting. The next day, the two met with Jacen at a seedy pub in Estle City. An hour later, the trio departed Selen to achieve the first task in Celevon’s Knighthood Trials: Crafting a Lightsaber. For this, the trio traveled to Ilum. During the flight, Jacen revealed that he had received training in the New Jedi Order and had been recently promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Before dropping the two off at the entrance to the crystal caves, Jacen loaned Celevon his secondary lightsaber: A lightsaber with a black durasteel straight hilt and a viridian blade. Inside the cave, Celevon experienced a force vision: Two versions of himself appear, one as a Jedi Master, the other immersed in the dark side. Celevon cut down the light side version, before defeating the dark version with an unexpected maneuver. Once the figures dispersed, Celevon chose a dark blue Adegan crystal and approached the dais where Talos sat in meditation, having already laid out the materials to build a lightsaber.

After he successfully crafted his lightsaber, he received his next task in the Knighthood Trials from Sashar via comlink: Kill Jacen to prove his loyalty to both Sashar and Arcona. Though he was clearly reluctant, Celevon killed Jacen with the man’s own lightsaber before he piloted the ship to pick up Talos. The third and final Trial was to face Sashar in a match within the Antei Combat Centre. Celevon faced him and was defeated soundly. He hadn’t expected to win, though he did manage to land several blows to the Elder before he was forced to yield. They were preparing for his elevation to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight when Sashar’s half-brother, Zandro Savric Erinos, was captured by the remnants of the Death Walkers. This disaster prompted the start of Operation Ad Infinitum. Sashar told Celevon that, if he could prove himself worthy of the prestigious rank during the operation, he would personally make sure the promotion went through by using the political clout he had as Praetor to the Master At Arms.

Operation Ad Infinitum

Due to the issue of a family member being held captive, Celevon didn’t see much of his Master during the Operation. However, during the Operation, Celevon could be found in the Offices of the Arcona Contract Bureau nearly as often as the Commissioners. The first contract was to assassinate Bregan Dedguro, a slaver who was a member of a slaving organization who sold hundreds, if not thousands of sentients to the Death Walker Cult. Once night fell, Dedguro’s guards fell one after another to the Journeyman’s blades. Once the guards outside all lay dead, Celevon placed a fragmentation grenade, the variety that exploded on impact, on the front door. He then walked to the rear of the cottage and threw two grenades around the front end of the building. The remaining guards on the inside set off the grenade that had been haphazardly placed on the front door. They were decimated by the blast. As soon as the blast happened, Celevon had sliced a mock door in the back wall. The concussive blast from the grenade detonating sent the piece of wall flying. Minutes later, Celevon felled the slaver with the lightsaber he had constructed on Ilum. Not long after his return to the Citadel, Celevon was being reprimanded by Talos for using the lightsaber before he achieved the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. After promising not to use the lightsaber again until he was Knighted, and subsequently returning the Saber to his quarters, returned to the Bureau for his next contract. Barely an hour later, Talos dropped Celevon off at one of the bases that housed members of the Arcona Army Corps with instructions to protect his friend and escort him back to Arcona’s Citadel. Two hours later, following a brief gunfight, Talos’ friend (Staff Sergeant Yulan Ved) was safely in the Citadel. The following morning, Celevon received a contract to assault a Death Walker remnant encampment. The Jedi Hunter and the two platoons of AAC troops attacked the encampment several hours later which ended with no casualties, excepting a few injuries and close calls.

Celevon entered the Commissioners’ Office and was stunned to see his Master seated in the chair where Talos normally sat waiting for the next Galerian to request a contract. After a short conversation, the Journeyman left to accomplish his first Recruiting Contract. The recruit was a teenaged ginger named Dustin Benner. It wasn’t difficult to convince the teen to become one of Arcona’s assets. A small confrontation with three members of a gang within Port Ol’val took place before they departed the Asteroid Port and returned to Selen. The next morning, Celevon took another contract. This one was an Assassination mission, with the target being the personal assistant to the director of a shipping company that is a suspected front for Dash Kuatir’s sizable financial resources. Sashar’s adopted son, Teroch, was an unexpected partner for this mission. The fifteen year old had originally been sent to complete the mission should Celevon die, for whatever reason. The teen worked in cohesion with Celevon to accomplish the mission, with the Assassin doing the dirty work of actually killing the man. The corpse was displayed in a highly horrifying manner to ‘make it nasty’, as Sashar had requested.

The final mission was an Assault Contract with both Talos Erinos and Celevon working together to attack a Nomad-Class Corvette belonging to Dash Kuatir’s Private Military Company, which was made up of mostly pirates and mercenaries. The mission was completed with several casualties to the Special Operations squads. One of the squads was almost completed decimated, due to a traitor within that squad. Sashar had requested a single prisoner to send back to Dash, but Celevon and Talos decided to bring the traitor back as well. The desolate ship was then blown to pieces after what remained of the original assault group escaped on an Armored Assault Transport with their two prisoners to return to Selen. After the completion of this mission and subsequent return to Selen, Celevon took two days of much needed rest. Several hours after he finished his rest, he was summoned to Arcona’s Citadel, where the entire Clan was gathering. It seemed the hour to rescue the Consul had finally arrived. The planning of the rescue mission began in difficult circumstances, with time limit and other restrictions which were in place causing tempers to flare and very few feasible ideas to come to the fore. However, when a breakthrough came, it was thanks to the former Consul, Sashar Arconae, whose devious scheme was accepted by the majority as being their best shot at success. The plan finalized and the execution getting ever closer, it was time for the rescue mission to begin.

A group comprising both Arconan and Tarentum members began their mission by first establishing a cordon around the building within which Zandro was being held captive. Slowly and meticulously, the group moved forward while thinning out, fanning around the building to surround it fully as they crept closer to their target. When the time to breach came, it was the group on the East side of the building which distinguished themselves: the trio of Celevon Edraven, Ronovi Tavisaen and Cassandra El’sin opening fire with deadly precision and killing half of the enemy troops before the rest of the combined Tarcona force could begin their own breaches. All bar one of the enemy troops were cut down without mercy, with this lone survivor being spirited away for a rigorous questioning from members of the DIA (Dajorra Intelligence Agency), while at the same time the rescued Consul was evacuated and spirited away to the Eye of the Abyss, where he underwent medical examinations and began his recovery.

In honor of their instrumental actions during his rescue, Zandro proclaimed that Celevon, Ronovi and Cassandra would now be known as his personal rescue team, should the not-so-unlikely event of his capture occur once more. A badge of honor indeed.

After the completion of the mission, Celevon walked to the Citadel’s Ceremonial Hall where the entire Clan was gathering. He had noticed and ignored the odd looks he received due to the fact that he was attired in black combat boots, a pair of black tactical pants and a sleeveless black shirt. He noticed Talos giving him an amused look moments before the two leaders of Arcona entered the room. ProConsul Wuntila Zratan Entar was wearing his formal attire as he gave a short speech to the assembled Clan members thanking them for their dedicated service while the Consul was held captive. Consul Zandro Savric Erinos was wearing a set of Shadesworn Robes with the hood pulled up. Still, there was no mistaking the Sith’s presence in the Force. He gave a speech where he repeated Wuntila’s thanks to the Clan and those that rescued him before he explained that he had received visions that war was approaching while he was held captive. The members were dismissed

not long after. Sashar entered Celevon’s quarters early the next morning to inform Celevon that he had impressed the Elder well beyond Sashar’s expectations and that he was to be Knighted within the coming days. He was also rewarded an Anteian Cross for his dedicated service during the Operation.

Knighthood

Immediately following his ascension to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, the Assassin sought training in Lightsaber Combat from several of his friends within Arcona. Luckily, he had become ‘acceptable’ in both forms shortly before the eruption of the Tenth Great Jedi War. Through the months of battles, Celevon worked almost exclusively with the members of Soulfire Strike Team. The hostilities ceased with the noble sacrifice of the Assassin’s former Master Sashar Arconae and the man’s brother, Consul Zandro Savric Erinos. Following the Arconan Forces being declared the victors in the Tenth Great Jedi War, the Clan gathered in a large burial for the fallen. Once the ashes had been swept away by the wind, Celevon immediately boarded his ship after leaving a message telling that he would return. The Assassin wouldn’t be seen for an entire two months. Upon his return, though many asked, he wouldn’t give a straight answer on what he had been doing during his absence. It is believed that he took Assassination missions in his absence from the Brotherhood, perhaps hunting the stragglers who had escaped justice to avenge his former Master.

He discovered that his friend and half-sister, Xathia Tugrina, had had a falling out and divorce with her now ex-husband Kratus Vahillus in his absence.

Appearance

Celevon stands at an even six foot, and while he occasionally tries to be as unremarkable as possible, it is quite difficult with his features. He has fair skin with a light tan, due to the fact that most of his activities occur at night. He has the sharp facial features of an aristocrat, with flowing shoulder-length midnight black hair, and piercing silver-grey eyes. Celevon has a thin, muscular frame, and though not bulky, he has very little fat on his body. Due to his extensive martial arts training, he walks with a feline-like grace that compliments his aristocratic features.

As far as identifying marks go, despite the light scars received from a hard life, his eyes are a rather unique shade of silver-grey, which look like molten silver when he is angered. He has received comments in the past that it feels as though he is peering into your very soul when he stares at you. He also has a scar that starts just above his right temple, and travels diagonally, before curving and ending under his right eye. It was due to this head wound, many years earlier, that he suffers retrograde amnesia. His only other identifying mark is a tattoo on his upper right arm, in black, of a tribal wolf, made up of a number of different runes. He is also almost always clean shaven. The only jewelry he wears, if it can be counted, is the dog tags he was given within the AAC.

Psychological Profile

Due to the head injury and subsequent case of Retrograde Amnesia, Celevon has no moral background to fall back on. His mentor, Jakk’ed, was an ex-soldier who trained Celevon during his teenage years in combat. He would also explain things to help the teenage Celevon get over guilt from a soldier or a warrior’s viewpoint. An unfortunate side-effect of this was that it further altered Celevon’s moral compass. The training led to him being particularly ruthless and cunning. After he killed a thief/murderer who had broken into the medical complex where he was staying, he felt guilt and remorse for his actions. Both Jakk’ed and the authorities had explained to Celevon that it was a ‘just’ killing, as he did it to save a female doctor who the murderer had been threatening. Jakk’ed further explained about how, in war, he had to kill those who threatened his way of life or that of other people’s lives. And that he felt no remorse for eliminating those people. This further altered his moral capacity. It led to Celevon having a cold and calculating outlook on life. He values loyalty and friendship as much as other’s value their family. As far as he is concerned, family is the few people willing to fight and die beside you. Those who know him well enough get to see behind the blank façade he keeps up. Those he trusts are unsurprised to discover that he has a sarcastic, cynical and occasionally morbid sense of humor.

Celevon is a very military-oriented type of person. When the situation gets serious, he lets his typical snarky manner fall. If he’s in a formal or ceremonial situation, Celevon is cool and composed. While he dislikes formalities, the man also knows that such situations are needed at times. In combat situations, the assassin’s entire body becomes a weapon. He explained once to Talos how he imagines a furious storm of flames within his mind when he is fighting. How he pours all of his emotions and thoughts into the purging pyre. Sashar has been trying to break this habit Celevon has of disconnecting his emotions in combat situations to limited success.

Armory and Wardrobe

Weapons

Melee

Customized Katana

The Katana is measured at thirty-eight and a half inches overall. The sword is a full tang black finish twenty-five and an eighth inch blade with a heavy blood groove design. The sword’s original hardwood handle was replaced by a durasteel handle with a durasteel pommel and a wire wrapped grip. The entire blade and hilt is black, with the only silver spaces between the wrappings. Celevon was known to carry this blade on missions before his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. During the time before the aforementioned promotion, he eschewed the tradition of wearing the weapon sheathed at his waist. Instead, he wore it where the sheath was on his back. The hilt of the blade rested on his left shoulder and could be easily drawn. The position made Celevon able to draw the blade and behead an unwary opponent in a single, fluid slice.

Customized Daggers

From pommel to the tip of the blade is an overall size of seven and a half inches. The blade itself is three and three quarter inches long. The partially serrated tanto point tactical blade is entirely black. The only visible glimmer of the blade is within the serrations. Celevon carries a number of these blades hidden on his body, whether in a combat situation or not. Some have commented in the past that he seems excessively paranoid, but usually either retracted those comments once they were seen in use, or were dead shortly thereafter. Celevon would rather have something and not need it, than need it and not have it.

VibroCombat Knife

A knife made for close quarters combat, either fighting against another enemy wielding a knife, or to quickly silence enemy sentries. It is an extremely effective offensive tool, with a razor-sharp edge. It has numerous other uses, besides killing enemies. Celevon carries this weapon on his person at all times.

Ranged

Verpine Projectile Rifle

The Verpine Projectile Rifle (More commonly known as the Verpine Sniper Rifle) is an expensive, top-of-the-line sniper rifle based on the Verpine shatter gun design. This weapon is only used when on assignment with Soulfire.

AAC Conscript Carbine

A prototype blaster carbine with a focus on precision and power over ammo capacity. Celevon dodges the issue of ammo capacity by taping a pair of plasma packs together and quickly switches the clips.

SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol

The SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol was manufactured by the SoroSuub Corporation in the early days of the Galactic Empire.

File:SSK-7HeavyBlasterPistol.jpg

SSK-7 Heavy Blaster Pistol, minus the Silencer

The Rebel Alliance managed to acquire large quantities of these weapons just before Imperial edicts came about, making the purchase of such weapons illegal. Despite the legality of the weapon, Sashar made it a part of Soulfire's standard equipment after heavily upgrading it by blackening all of the surfaces of the weapon, modifying the trigger and grip guard, adding a removable silencer/muffler/flash suppressor, widening the clip loading bay and finally reducing the amount of pressure necessary to pull the trigger, allowing for an extremely fast ‘draw and fire’ time. Even when not on assignment with Soulfire, Celevon wears this sidearm, favoring it over the other model's provided.

Lightsaber

File:HeresyObeliskBlue.png

Celevon’s Heresy Lightsaber

Celevon’s original Lightsaber was destroyed during the Tenth Great Jedi War. Immediately upon his return, he constructed a new Lightsaber in a different model than his original. It is not known why he chose this blade over the other model he had chosen before.

Attire

Dar'Verd Combat Environment Suit (DV-CES)

A set of armor that was given to Celevon the day he joined Soulfire Strike Team. This armor has special attachments

, including pieces for the helmet, to further the expertise of the wearer according to their specialization within Soulfire. In Celevon's case, as a sniper, the helmet incorporates some highly sophisticated imaging software. It has a telescopic zoom allowing the scout to zoom in and out, and also thermal imaging and low light mode, as well as information on the crosswinds, atmospheric moisture and pressure, and even the Coriolis effect’s curve. The imaging software used is also able to recognize structures, vehicles and weapons and cross reference the silhouette with its databanks to report what the item is, very useful in collecting intelligence. The armor itself is painted matte black and is essentially the same as the rest of the teams except that all extruding items and loose parts have been removed to decrease the noise made. The rare times Celevon is seen wearing the armor, when not on assignment, he either doesn't have the helmet at all or is carrying it under his arm.

Robes

Celevon can be seen wearing a black or dark grey variant of the Jedi robes that were traditionally worn prior to the fall of the Old Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Celevon had these robes tailored not long after joining the Dark Brotherhood. He customarily wears a black hooded cloak thrown over these robes. Since his return, following the end of the Tenth Great Jedi War, he can also be seen wearing a set of Shadesworn robes.

Tactical Civvies

The most mundane of Celevon’s clothing. This set of clothing is rarely seen. It consists of a pair of black combat boots, black cargo pants, and a semi-tight black shirt (which may or may not be sleeveless). Depending upon the weather, Celevon may don a black trenchcoat over these. His long midnight black hair is either worn loose or a braided ponytail (which is tucked into the collar of his shirt). If the trenchcoat is worn, you can almost always be assured that he has a blade tucked into the sleeve. This set of clothing has only been seen by the whole of Clan Arcona after the rescue of the Arconan Consul, Zandro Savric Erinos.

Combat

The Force

On the rare occasions where Celevon does use the force, it usually is a form of telekinesis, augmenting his natural abilities or to better sense his surroundings. More recently he has been seen summoning his Force Wraith in an attempt to lessen the amount of time it takes to summon it.

Force Wraith

As a Dark Jedi Knight, Celevon can summon and control a single Wraith for up to a few hours. It takes several minutes of concentration to summon the spirit of dark side energy.

Corellian Sand Panther

The first time Celevon succeeded in summoning his Force Wraith, with Talos Erinos coaching him on the technique, the duo was quite surprised to see not a Wolf as they had expected, but a Corellian Sand Panther. This Wraith reflects the Assassin portion of Celevon’s personality. More specifically, it shows in how Celevon stalks his victims and kills them with a short blade without being noticed until they are sent into the dark abyss. The Panthers of Corellia are solitary hunters but were seen hunting in small family units on a rare occasion. The sand panther is one of the galaxy's quietest hunters, able to approach within centimeters of prey without drawing attention. On some more primitive planets, the Panther is viewed as the ultimate land-bound predator. Even as a Wraith, it can easily be identified as Celevon’s due to the fact that it possesses the man’s unique silver eyes.

Hand-To-Hand Combat

Dulon

Main article: Dulon

Dulon has many names. Called by differing names in many different societies, it seems that Truth is universal, this Martial Art having progressed almost identically in several societies almost identically. As such, there is much argument over when or where the art of Dulon evolved. Most scholars agree that the art is an evolved amalgamation of several internal-type styles. Humans have primarily been responsible for the dissemination of this style, but other races practice it as well. It is now flung across the entire galaxy, with many species adhering to the Art.

Dulon is an elegant art. It draws upon internal strength, using the body’s own life energy to perform the techniques. The style is graceful, and eschews brute force for speed and alacrity.

The primary repertoire of a Dulon fighter involves using one’s opponent’s energy and strength against them. Dulon could be considered a “fluid” art, believing in presenting nothing for an opponent to strike. One Master even stated, “The best defense is simply to not be there.” By evading the brute force of an opponent, the Dulon adherent will seek to leave himself an avenue to take advantage of the assailant.

Strikes can be augmented by the advanced artist with life energy, delivering powerful blows even with little visible movement. Slowed down, one can almost see the master's strike move in a 'wave' from the ground, his legs grounded in the floor, seemingly drawing strength from it. The Masters have an almost religious following, rumors and tales telling of their accomplishments, often attributing supernatural strength to their actions.

Taught in devoted studios, this art can be learned by anyone, although it takes true devotion, years of study, and a lot of willpower to truly master the art. The youngest one to have been considered a true 'Master' of Dulon had spent 60 years studying the art. Some have complained that this is elitism, but the truth of the matter is that these masters still hold the skill to defeat almost any challengers, even (if one were to believe the tales) Jedi.

Kartranin

Main article: Kartranin

The martial art known as Kartranin is a relatively recent invention, having been developed by the Murra Orders during the early years of the New Imperial Order. The art relies heavily on sword techniques, a departure from typical Imperial 'efficiency', but is a very aggressive and effective method of combat all the same.

The Murra Orders were charged with maintaining order among the Imperial ranks, their members drawn into the Orders for their uncompromising natures. Once there, they were instructed in many detailed arts, from espionage tactics to undercover workings as well as advanced combat maneuvers.

Kartranin's use of the sword is oddly enough, specifically implemented in largely non-lethal techniques, the Order's doctrine specifying that their captives be taken alive for further questioning. This is not to say that the art does not have lethal techniques, as situations can change drastically, so that the Murra Order agents would have to use their weapon to kill in order to survive the encounter.

The basic techniques of Kartranin are rather defensive, with the student learning basic maths and body mechanics, allowing for a Kartranin practitioner to know what angles an opponent is most likely to attack from, so that they can defend against it, while striking back in the most efficient way possible.

Kartranin is not a fluid art. The lightning quick motions must often change direction in a split second in order to safeguard the stylist from harm. The attacks are similarly dissonant, and a student of the art must possess a good degree of muscle strength to be able to control the momentum of his own body as well as that of a sword.

The basics of Kartranin are taught in several hobbyist academies across the Core worlds, taught by former Murra Order members.

Shyarn-Ado

Main article: Shyarn-ado

Shyarn-ado has a long history with the Cerean people. This style was rare and complex, often involving a lifetime commitment to one’s master, brain, and chosen style. This ensured complete mastery of the form and responsible use of the techniques in theory

This complicated form was developed originally for wielders of the Shyarn blade. The blade is a curved, single edged sword with a gracefully rounded hilt and a slightly curved handgrip. These masterful exotic swords are made from extracted metals and minerals by the duty-bound Cereans. The weapons are attracted to other blades magnetically on occasion, and this makes for deadly and vibrant duels.

The Art has since spread to other races as the Cereans have spread across the known Galaxy as intellectual giants. The Cerean culture values sheer intelligence, and this style reflects their complex cultural origins. The draconian weapons were often used in duels of honor and status. The Body and the Blade became an intellectual status symbol and state of mind. As well, if you were weak you would rapidly be separated from your weapon and your existence on this plane. Stolen or lost weapons were often retrieved at any and all costs, as it was believed that their soul was inexorably linked to the weapon.

The attacks and parries used by these stylists involve flexibility, speed, and quick tactical thinking. Shyarn Stylists are known for acrobatic, precise, misleading and evasive attacks. Twisting strokes, complex parries, and even sweeping the blade across one’s body to reinforce the weak flesh or parry a wicked potent blow are accepted maneuvers. This style views the sword and body as a complete weapon, each reinforcing the other, each growing stronger through decades of study and tireless practice.

Unlike most Shyarn-ado stylists, Celevon doesn’t use the sword typical of the style. Instead, he favors his Katana (see above) which can be easily utilized in both styles of Melee Combat that Celevon is proficient in.

Lightsaber Combat

Upon his ascension to the prestigious rank of Dark Jedi Knight and being allowed to carry a lightsaber, Celevon chose the two core forms he would utilize after studying their strengths and weaknesses: Makashi and Soresu. He has been heard saying that he would eventually like to master one, if not both, of these forms. He has been known to suddenly switch forms mid-strike to catch an opponent off guard or as the situation calls for it.

Form II: Makashi

Celevon chose the Duelist’s Form due to the fact that he would like encounter opponents using a lightsaber. After learning the basic maneuvers of this form, the Assassin sought out Clan Arcona’s Rollmaster Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae to train him in the effective use of the second form of Lightsaber Combat. The Krath Pontifex discontinued this training when Celevon proved to be skilled in the use of this form due to the fact that it was taking time away from his other varied duties. The Assassin has taken to sparring in this form with Obelisk Templar Kratus Vahillus at the urging of the ex-Pirate’s wife and newest member of Soulfire Strike Team, Krath Archpriest Xathia Vahillus. Despite the slightly insane manner of the ex-pirate, the two have developed an odd friendship. And the fact that the two of them are each members of House Galeres’ rival Battleteams. This is likely due to the pair’s love of combat. A fast friendship developed between the two members of Soulfire during these sparring and training sessions. On the rare occasions where Xathia is not busy with her duties to the Brotherhood, the duo are seen training Celevon to duel against multiple opponents at the same time.

Form III: Soresu

Celevon expressed an interest in learning the defensive form of lightsaber combat while watching Sashar Arconae instruct Talos Erinos on the finer points of Soresu and Djem So when Celevon was still at the rank of Guardian. The two only taught him the stance and basic blocks utilized by the Soresu Adherant until after his promotion to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He again approached the duo after the promotion to train him. They agreed and proceeded to train him in the use of the third form. By the time they deemed him skilled in using the form, Talos was mainly the one teaching Celevon while Sashar was either away assisting the Summit or merely supervising. At this point, Sashar instructed Celevon to approach him if the Assassin was ever interested in mastering the form. Knowing his master’s legendary reputation with the form, Celevon graciously thanked him for the offer and told the Elder that he would keep it in mind.
