Brent "Archangel" Ligur Victae

"Never Tempt the Might"

―From Eton Jade 'Battle of Keldorn Straits'

Timeline

• 106 BBY - Birth

Born Nul'Brodo'a, though he would be called Brodo for short. His parents were Illysia and Korvem. Korvem was a military leader of skill and prestige in the Nul military. He lead the 2nd Grand Battalion into several conquests along the outer rim of the Nul space. His mother was an outsider, a half Kiffar from the shipyards surrounding the planet Sluis Van. She was on a freighter assisting her employers in transporting a load of metals for the factory's foundries when it came under attack by pirates. The captain of the freighter sent the vessel into a blind hyperspace jump. Amongst all the manuvers the man could've done, a blind hyperspace jump is likely to have been the most dangerous and foolist choice possible. In the end, the freighter skimmed an asteroid and left hyperspace in a tumble, barely under power. Only Illysia and the helmsman was left alive, and they worked together to get the spin under control.

A frigate in the Nul military at the time, the Cordite Hawk, was in the vicinity at the time, and recorded the entire reentry to normal space, and the subsequent slowing of the spin. The Hawk, led by a young Korvem, hailed the severely damaged ship, and offered assistance, which was quickly taken. The helmsman died of his wounds after being transported to the frigate, but Illysia was alive, and fell in love with her rescuer, Korvem, deciding to stay with him rather than returning to her life of work and toil.

• 75 BBY - Assasination attempt.

This attempt, which unfortunately is rather common amongst the higher ups in the Shaevailian society, took place at an official banquet where Brodo's father was to be awarded a large portion of land for his success in the Subjugation of the Ifrica Belt. During the ceremony, while the guests and dignitaries were looking towards the dias where the ceremoney would take place, an agent sent by one of Nul's greatest rivals, the Arka, poured a clear, tasteless liquid into Korvem's drinking cup. Brodo, being of the relatively young age of 31, had not really had much access to alcohol, and tried to get a taste from his father's cup while everyone was distracted. Brodo began to feel ill immediately, and was violently sick on the floor. The ceremony came to an abrupt halt as Brodo was rushed to the nearest medical centre by a very worried Korvem.

The doctors didnt know what the poison was, or how it was taken, because only Brodo knew this. He would stay ill for many days, Korvem never leaving his side, even to attend to duties. Brodo remained in a deep coma for much of the time as the poison did it's work. The poison was such that it would kill its victim slowly, inducing a coma known as the Sleeping Death, while corroding their organs, causing leaks and ulsers. These cause further damage and excuriating pain, which the victim feels all the time. Brodo got to this stage before the Arka agent was found, and brought to Korvem. It is said that Korvem beat the man for a day and a night AFTER the poison's name and type was revealed. Brodo was slow to regain consciousness, but when he did, he let out a minute long scream, and was quickly sedated.

• 74 BBY - Awake

Nearly a year had gone by, and finally Brodo had healed enough to be woken. He had a long physical thearpy schedule, but managed to finish it early. He was very touched by how his father had acted, and sought to do him proud with everything he did. He spent another month in hospital still getting over his near-death experience as well as the year in a coma.

The first couple weeks was spent doing tests for neurological problems and any extra signs of the poison. While no real neurological problems were found, some psychological problems arose, especially along the lines of mild paranoia (which was expected), and a survival instinct that surpassed even the most war hardened Shaevalian warriors (which was mostly unexpected).

A determined Brodo started walking a full three weeks earlier than he should've been able to. He struggled to regain his motor skills but not for want of trying. In a week of collapses and pulling himself up, he finally managed to walk unaided for a distance of ten meters, this fact in itself being a feat. In the next two weeks were spent relearning how to move in a variety of ways, including jumping and running. He was unable to eat solid foods just yet, his stomach and other organs needing a bit more time to heal the scars.

Upon arriving home, Brodo learnt of the death of his mother. At the age of 54, she'd been returning from her work as an assistant at the local engineering corporation when another assassin attacked. His mother was killed by a hold-out blaster to the kidneys. She was pronounced dead the same hospital that Brodo had been in that very same day and all the days for a year before that. The pain of her death would shock Brodo to the core,and would hurt his father almost beyond repair. The assailant had escaped amid the confusion after the shooting. Brodo swore that he would find the disgusting peon who thought he could destroy his family, and show him just how much stronger he is from the experience. And he would show him no mercy, no quick death, no dignity in death. Brodo's blood threat would become a legend among the high society of the Shaevalian home planet.

• 70 BBY - Forged Anew

A young Brodo.

• 61 BBY - Weapon's Beginning.

Brodo creates the shaft which he would later use to create his Ironwood Spear. The shaft was made of Ironwood, a tall nearly indestructable metal which, when melted and forged, would crack like the grain and bark of a tree.

• 59 BBY - Legend

Quinlan Vos born

• 47 BBY - A New Friend

Brodo meets Quinlan Vos, and learns for the first time of his Force sensitivity. This meeting has a profound effect on Brodo, as he has found out that he would be cast out of his family if they knew. He decided to keep it to himself, and tried his best to hide it. He also resists the pressure of Quinlan to go to the Jedi Academy.

• 46 BBY - Military Academy

Brodo joins the Nul Armed Forces (NAF). As a young adult he learnt the ways of the Nul military, both on the field and off. His skills in martial combat grew greatly, his prefered weapon being the spear.

• 42 BBY - Hereditary Promotion

Brodo is promoted because his father retires. Brodo becomes the General of the 2nd Grand Battalion, just like his father, and leads it through two victorious campaigns: The Quelling of the Ifrica Rebellion, and the Expansion Invasion of the Ter'Lak'a Rift.

• 39 BBY - A Secret Revealed

Dad tells Brodo he is force sensitive too, a bond occurs, someone finds out, Korvem is killed and Brodo flees into Wildspace

• 35 BBY - Homecoming of sorts

Brodo reaches Kiffu, the planet where his mother had been born. Learns more about her, and is granted official membership-by-heritage of Clan Vos. Is trained as a Kiffar Guardian

• 32 BBY - A Secret Project

Because he was well known in wildspace as a ferocious warrior and leader, he was offered an opportunity to train, and perhaps lead, a group of elite troopers. Though reluctant, he accepts. Travels to Kamino, meets Kal Skirata and Walon Vau, finds a sort of kindred spirit. Meets his 2 year old clones for the first time.

• 35 BBY - Death of a Son

All of Harta Squad killed in a training accident, an explosion of high-yield explosives. Brodo crushed, but still leads his men through their training, teaching them better medical procedures, and survival.

A new Grand Admiral, Ronin, hears of this band of Imperials who have been playing havoc with the Rebel supply lines, and whose fleet had grown to ten small capital ships. He decides to invite the band into the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. This offer is accepted by Brodo, on the condition that his men be accorded the same respect, honours, and benefits as befits what they have done in the past few years.

• 25 ABY - Another Departure

Brodo as a Sith

HIs training in the Force in the Dark Brotherhood had led him to believe that the Emperor's Hammer had not maintained its bargain to his men. He decided that his tenure in the Emperor's Hammer should come to an end. So a small group of his loyal officers, a couple Dark Jedi and Brodo, fled into the vastness of space. They finally find their way to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, where his men are treated well as befitting war veterans. Brodo joins the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Names

Throughout the years, Brodo has had to change his name on several occasions either to assume a new identity, or to hide his current one. Here is a quick list of the ones he used and where/what for:

• Nul'Brodo'a - Birth Name
• Brodo Tainer - Upon joining the Republic Army with his Commandos, he decided to take his mother's last name rather than his birth name, both to hide his heritage, and so as not to give the Administration any more headaches than it already had.
• Brent Tainer - Understanding the Xenophobia that the Imperials seemed to have, he changed his name to Brent Tainer to belie his roots even further, even though his race were very similar to humans.
• Decarat Tainer - After going AWOL from the Imperial Army, he found that using his old name probably wasnt a good idea. Changing his name to Decarat Tainer allowed him to join the Rebel Alliance without any problems.
• Brent Tainer - Again, he found himself in the service of Imperials, this time the Emperor's Hammer. He decided that his old name would probably be best to use, so show off almost, to the Grand Admiral of the EHSF.
• Eton Jade - He took this name both because of his joining the Jade family, as well as an alias to use for escape. The Emperor's Hammer didnt suit him anymore, and disappearing for a man of his status would be difficult. So he assumed the name and mannerisms of Eton Jade, and slipped away.
• Brent Ligur Victae - Shrugging off his fear of the Emperor's Hammer also meant he had to change his name. He rather liked the name Brent, and the Ligur came from the tattoo of a Liger on his chest. Ligur means "of the Liger". Victae, which means "victorious", was his family name, with his new wife Erianna.

Training Squads

Republic Commandos.

• Aleph Squad

Tek - RC-9811

Kad - RC-9812

Holl - RC-9854

Mul - RC-9855

Aleph Squad was the first squad that Brodo trained. Training accidents before he got there meant that this team was actually two halves of two other squads. This formed two factions within the squad, Tek and Kad on one side, and Holl and Mul on the other. Alot of work was required even to get them to fight together. This is when Brodo took command of them. The first time he met the squad, Kad had Holl up against a wall, and was only being held back by Mul. Tek had come to meet Brodo as the sergeant of the squad. Brodo's large hand gripped and squeezed Kad, and pulled him away from his squadmate. Kad tried to take a swing at Brodo, but only recieved a kick half way across the room. This act alone formed Brodo's dominance over the squad. Aleph was always the rogue squad in Brodo's training platoon, always trying to push the boundaries, and do the best they could. The natural rivalry between the two factions in the squad has pushed them to overdo each other's feats, trying to beat each other in every way posisible.

Holdings

During his time in the Corporate Division, along with other Subgroups of the Emperor's Hammer, and now in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Brodo has started, and run several companies, and corporations to give him a stable and ample income.

• Lumina Corporation (LUC) - Advertising and Public Relations
• Archangel Cookie Corporation (ACC) - Delightful cookies and other treats
• Wildspace ArmsCorps (WAC) - Weapons contractor, builds components to be installed in TIE style fighters (under contract by Sienar Fleet Systems, and alphabet style fighters (under contract from Incom, and others), along with sensor equipment and weaponry.

Information

Identifying Marks

Carefully applied yellow-black tattoos adorn his right arm in a tribal design, with a large five-pointed star as the focal point. A huge tattoo adorns his chest, in the shape of a giant cat of orange and black. On his back, a pair of feathered wings has been tattooed.

Physical Description

Broad shouldered, and muscular, his frame is that of a born fighter. With his massive size (big even on his race's standards) and powerful build, he was trained in ground combat, which shows itself in his great upper body strength. His dark hair is always in dreadlocks, which are left to hang, framing his face like the mane of a giant cat. His eyes are a steely white, and his skin seems to have a constant bronze tan.
