Quejo

"Quiet destruction, rendering you helpless" Selene, describing Quejo to an Apprentice.

Character History

Where it all began

Quejo Bandon was a decendant of Lord Malik's Apprentice, Darth Bandon. After his ancestor was slain at the hands of the Dark Lord Revan, the remaining family would go into hiding, fearing that Revan would be angered by his foiled assasination attempt. For centuries the Bandon name would be kept out of the record books, it was a name that seemed to of been cursed, as many of the elder members of the family were either murdered or imprisoned. The name would soon change to hide the identity of the Sith's family. The new name was Armidian, but it wouldnt last.

The year was approximately 22 BBY when a young politician, Crytalia Armidian gave birth to a Son in the city of Theed. For years she raised him and hid his true name, teaching him the ins and outs of Politics. His father, Damias Armidian, was a noble man, working for a small security force assigned to the Queen. He had seen many battles in his day, including the battle in which the Trade Federation attempted to bring Theed to it's knees. Damias however, being a high ranking member on the Queen's Royal Guard fought with many to protect the city they loved, he dedicated his life to the Queen, and his life was what he lost at the hands of a Battle Droid close to the end of the war.

Quejo was devestated when his father died, leaving him in the care of his mother and older sister Trayva.

A Politicans Life...

"You're a people person Armidian, the senators would be wise to elect you." Childhood friend Delos Shriken to Quejo Armidian.

After the death of his father, Quejo Armidian thought it wise to follow the path his mother had bestowed upon him, so he joined the political scene. He knew alot about "playing sides" as was often seen in his debates and campaigns. Though he never won a major position, he learned alot, more than what a young man should of known. He was often labeled headstrong and overconfident, which is one of the main reasons he never got elected to office. He learned for years under his mothers tutelage until feeling as if an "expantion" on his character needed to take place. It wasnt long before he found himself doing the job that claimed his fathers life.

The Path of the Jedi...

Padawan Quejo Levitates

"You'e a strong warrior, Quejo. You use the force to guide you, always focussing on the present. Though you do everything right, you're head strong and carry too much pride. Let go of the emotions keeping you from using your full potential." Jedi Master Shanet Devossa to Padawan Quejo the night before his fall to the dark side.

Quejo wasnt one of the most powerful Jedi Initiates in the galaxy, but he had great potential and charisma about him that made him stand out to the Masters who would come to watch the young initiates spar, seeking Padawans. The sparring sections were not only physical but they were demanding on the mind. Quejo was always sharp and proficient with a lightsaber, he infact, was one of the first initiates who picked up on the moves earlier and quicker into training than most others. This in turn made him a nightmare to duel with. While other students were trying to figure out the more acrobatic lightsaber styles, Quejo was focussed on learning the style made Famous by Count Dooku, Makashi.

Though this wouldnt be taught until a Master took him on as Padawan. A couple years went by before the Masters scheduled a preview of the initiates, but it came nonetheless. Quejo was set to face one of his closest friends in the Order and won with an aggressive, series of flurries followed by a spinning kick which drove his opponent to the floor.

Later that night, Jedi Master Shanet Devossa stopped Quejo in the Jedi Archives and told him that he would be his new Master if the Council would allow it. Well...They did and would soon be labeled the most promising Jedi in the Order. Quejo new that his skill with the force was nothing to brag about, but his Master would train him until he couldnt train any longer. Armidian was shaping up to be one of the most charismatic and fearless Jedi in the Order, atleast so he thought. His overconfidence grew and his thoughts began to dominate him. He became wreckless, seeking glory and the thrill of a fight. Though he started to become arrogant, he still managed to keep his thoughts to himself. No one suspected him of slipping to the Dark Side, but they slowly started to become aware of the Young Padawan's bloodline. The force gave the Masters visions, but they would be ignored by Quejo's Master, Shanet.
