Trevarus Caerick

Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or Shan Long. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the Final Way, Trevarus has influenced many spheres of Brotherhood development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the Dark Side and the origin of the Final Way have also marked him as one of the most literate and obsessive Elders of the Final Order.

Birth and Early Life

Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of Coronet City, Corellia, he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the Jedi Council, instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of the Force. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the lightsaber, languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.

When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to anEmpire finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the Corellian System during the Clone Wars, surviving the infamous Order 66. A group of Jedi Hunters lead by Adept Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to Coruscant as his protege.

The Imperial Court

Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement. Barely weeks before the Rebel attack on the Death Star at Yavin IV, Tobasa attempted to overthrow the Emperor. Trevarus barely survived the attempt to steal a powerful artifact from the Emperor's grasp. For his crime, Tobasa was sentenced to death, but escaped. Trevarus was exiled to a cell of the Intelligence Division attached to Admiral Thrawn of the Admonitor.

Five years are a complete mystery. Trevarus never speaks of this time. However, this span seemed to have greatly affected his drive to explore, as evidenced later in his life.

Before the legendary Battle of Endor, Trevarus was recalled to Imperial Center by Darth Vader himself. The Dark Lord of the Sith ordered him to infiltrate a sect of Force-wielders called the Jensaarai on a remote world called Susevfi in the Suarbi System.
