Biography

Prologue

Saarin Vahn grew up on the mining planet of Kessel. Born unto slave parents, his father was a miner, and his mother served drinks to the miners and passing patrons of one of the smaller cantinas near the shipping yards. Saarin grew up very early learning many things about many planets and star systems, by eavesdropping on the conversations of freighter pilots, passing mercenaries and even the occasional Pirate. He spent his younger years cleaning the floors and washing the dishes of the cantina his mother served in. Though, once he reached the age of twelve he was sold to another slaver who owned a dig in the mines of Kessel. Saarin spent the next eight years of his life in those mines, and in spite of the constant inhaled spice dusts and particles, he was stronger, and had a better stamina than that of a normal human of his age and weight. Though he knew the spice mines were little more than a long term death sentence, ever since he'd been sent there he had devised plans of escaping.

On a moonless summer night, he and a band of would be rebels, crept their way to the docking bay with a security access card and a few stolen blasters, and a pilot itching to get back to the cockpit. Once they made their attempt to escape they were caught up in a small skirmish, and an unexpected adversary was there to greet them, an old colleague of the pilot and renowned pirate; former first mate of his previous ship and a Mandalorian none the less. It was in this battle that Saarin lost the use of his right arm, when the Mandalorian, Kandar of clan Ordo, severed it from his body at the elbow with a vibrosword. Though it was also, in this battle that he first unlocked the hidden abilities he never suspected he had, by using a powerful version of force push, allowing himself to make a sprint for the ship. He and the old captain, Felnorr, were the only two to successfully make the escape, though just barley. Saarin knew that somehow his troubles were only just beginning and that adventure and danger was about to consume his destiny.

Two months after the events of his great escape from Kessel, Saarin found himself a job as a pirate and smuggler working for Felnorr. He was Felnorr's personal bodyguard and copilot when they went on raids and smuggle runs. Though the job itself was not the safest or the most legal of jobs one could have, the pay was quite decent and company was hospitable. In a particular smuggle run; he and Felnorr were to drop off a stolen shipment of weapons in a meeting place of the buyer's choice. It was a simple trade, weapons for credits. Though the result could not have been farther from simple. The two bags supposed to be filled with Credits, were actually filled with two twin bombs, small sized nukes to be exact. Saarin and Felnorr had to shoot their way out of the situation only to see the blast go off from high orbit, knowing the buyers were not privy to the contents, meaning someone else was behind the coup. After this occurrence, Felnorr tried to get Saarin recruited to the New Jedi Order, though, due to his unpredictable nature, and anger prone personality, Saarin was not accepted. After he was dismissed from the testing, Felnorr decided Saarin needed to go to the Sith Academy on Korriban. He contacted an old friend, with the information, and gave Saarin money to barter passage. Only months later Saarin Vahn was a full-fledged initiate in the Dark Brotherhood and it was here, that his true Destiny would begin.

Appearance & Personality

Physical Appearance

Saarin Vahn stands at a height of 6' 2" with broad shoulders, large arms and well defined muscles. His head is bald, though he still yet remains capable of growing a beard, Which is is as sable as space itself. He has styled it with a single large braid about 8 inches in length and fashioned it with dark circlets to retain its figure. His eyes are very bright grey, almost silver in color. He wears black robes with a hood, accompanied with hardened composite plates protecting his chest forearms and shins. His voice can be described as baritone, but with a very commanding and booming sensation. Aside from his well defined melancholies, his body is scarred from his many battles, atop and beneath the scarification, are the tattoos of a Sith devotee. Few Sith have done this, of the few Darth Maul was one, the process and ritual one must undergo is one of extreme pain, however Saarin only elected to received the Black designs caring not, for the red designs.

Personality

Though callous and hard on the outside, Saarin still holds some of the Jedi's teachings of kindness and humility in his heart, though he has buried them so far that many would doubt they exist. He is a recluse my nature, not outgoing like many in the brotherhood. He cares not for camaraderie, but instead results. Over a life time, Saarin has bottled his rage, storing it for battle, turning it into a weapon of its own, an undeniable, unquenchable thirst for violence and a blood-lust for the death and downfall of all Jedi.
