Shikyo Keibatsu

Character History

The Akumatsu and Lone Wolf Era

Shikyo Keibatsu was born on the planet of Kyataru, but did not live there longer than one day. On the date of his birth, Mandalorians arrived to collect on a debt that his grandfather owed them. They were promised Shikyo. They took the child and boarded their craft, heading towards the planet they dwelled at for the time being. It was here that Shikyo trained with the young Madalorian children, incapacitating some, and injuring others. Due to his wild spirit and untamable anger, young Shikyo was scheduled to return to his family. The day they were to leave was the day his family was massacred by Jedi, leaving Shikyo to live with the Mandalorians.

Considering the child a risk to the clan, they dropped him with a local warlord named Sagara Mifune, along with a sword that was sent to Shikyo from his father. This sword was claimed by Sagara and used during his campaigns. It was at this time that a warring event erupted and Shikyo was given the name "Bokuzen Mifune". Proving his worth through many victories, he became the commander of the Takeda Cavalry, and well respected amongst the ranks. However, the Mifune Clan was ambushed by a rival clan, wiping out most of the army, leaving only a few remainants of the clan, including Bokuzen. He took the sword that belonged to his master and left the past behind.

With his clan eliminated, Bokuzen went into hiding, using his skills as a killer to provide some kind of living for himself. He found a place of residence in a hotel owned by a close friend of his, working from there at night and entering quietly to avoid detection. It was here that he met Sakura Koyotai, a caretaker in the hotel. When he had time away, he would meet with her and eventually the two fell in love and were engaged. On the night of an annual festival, a group of assassins, seeking revenge, took the life of his beloved and creating the X-shaped scar on his cheek. With nothing left but to run, Bokuzen left the planet with his belongings, his warlord's sword, and the title of "Hitokiri", master assassin.

The shuttle that Bokuzen boarded was on a spice run to Coruscant, putting him in the middle of the slums of the planet. Hiding out wherever he could, Bokuzen began to sell his blade out for assassinations, targetting Imperial and New Republic officials alike. One evening, Bokuzen was handed an assignment to take out a religious leader. Little did the assassin know that the "religious leader" he was sent to kill was Grand Master Jac Cotelin. Instead of killing off another peon, Jac sent Bokuzen to Lyspair to the Shadow Academy.

Joining Arcona

Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona. There, he was appointed Legion of Boral and a Flight Member under the command of dark jedi, Tuskani. Proving his worth in a TIE Fighter and on the battlefield, Bokuzen was appointed to Sith Commander of the Pandragon Squadron. However, he would not hold the position long. The clan began to make changes and his master, Quejo Bandon, was appointed to the position of Quaestor of House Galeres, while Bokuzen took the position of Aedile, working with Quaestor, Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet. With incidents occuring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would have to test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.
