Korras

Character History

Korras has no recollection of his past. The first thing he remembers is waking up in a crashed shuttle, with an elder of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood looking over him. The shuttle was wrecked to the point that it was impossible to determine why it crashed. Up to this day, it still is not sure whether it happened on purpose, accidental, or by weapons fire.

He was soon found to posses a good affinity with the force, and possibly trained with its use before. But he did not remember. Nor did he remember how to fight. However, in the first fight he got into, he was able to defeat his opponent without even breaking a sweat, seemingly fighting on instinct. This affinity led to him speeding through the ranks of the Brotherhood, finally recieving the status of an Elder himself.

Once assigned to Clan Naga Sadow after leaving the Academy, the speed with which he rose through the ranks was unheard off, rising to the status of Proconsul in mere months, already having held Aedile and Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos.

Major Changes

During the time as Proconsul, he oversaw major changes to Clan Naga Sadow. The fifth Great Jedi War was at its height, and House Primus Goluud had sustained too much casualties to be maintained. In addition to that, two Quaestors had been reported missing, and he himself had been the third.

His actions changed the clan substantially. He closed Primus Goluud, merging its leftovers with House Ludo Kressh, and changed the entire clan to Multi Order, removing the order-bound limits imposed before.

Only months later, he led the clan to near victory over Clan Taldryan when the Krath started fighting over supremacy, and during that conflict he was promoted to the Dark Council, as Obelisk High Commander.

Dark Council

That term lasted a year, and at its height, he led the invasion of Coratua, a planet forgotten mostly after the clone wars, during which it had served as a resupply point. A substantial amount of pirates had formed up there, and were forming a threat against the brotherhood itself.

The conflict lasted a full month, as the pirates made use of the machines of war left behind. Eventually, the forces of darkness overcame them, although after a bloody struggle. The Grand Master left Korras in command, effectively a governor, of the system, which includes two mining worlds. The victory there was enough for him to be promoted to the status of Dark Side Adept.

Return to the Clan

After a year, he returned to his Clan Naga Sadow, only to find it changed from what he left behind. After a few months, he was Consul, but no longer recognized what he left behind. Shortly after pushing some changes through on the Dark Summit, he resigned, and moved to Clan Tarentum, where he was assigned as Quaestor of House Tridens, which he left several months afterwards.

Korras' Lightsabers

Lightsaber style

Korras' lightsabers, as well as his style of fighting, are virtually unique to the Brotherhood. Being a master of Shien, he has altered the style somewhat. One saber is held in the traditional way, providing defense, while the other is being used in a reversed grip. When he strikes, the opponent sometime blocks the saber. At that point, Korras will step in further, and use the blades on the hilt to strike his opponent. A failure to block the incoming hilt, as well as disengagement of the saber lock to block the incoming hilt will often prove fatal, resulting in a deadly saber style.

Warbanner

The warbanner Korras holds, has his personal seal on the cloth, coupled with an ancient icon of the Obelisk order. The banner dates back to his time as High Commander, when it was one of the first created, and has not been changed since. Whenever he commands a contingent of forces, like the Tarentum 1st Mobile Army, it will be displayed at the front of the ranks. His seal is also displayed on the sides of his personal craft, the Conquistador.
