Character History

Childhood

Being born into a poor family, Dathka began his life in a war academy in Malidris, were he was rased to be warrior in the Iridonian army. Life traveled by and Dathka became a very focused learner who was liked by his elders and teachers.

When he turned eight, he was giver a trainer (Master so to speak) who was to be his main teacher. His name was Minka Kasear, a very powerful leader in the Iridonian counsel. Minka taught Dathka many things about fighting, tactics, and the use of mind meditation as a source of power. Many years passed and Dathka grew greatly in skill and wisdom under the teachings of his master. He learned how to wield the Zhaboka with great skill and agility. The Zhaboka is a long staff with sharp cutting edges on both ends. It is very hard for someone with no experience to wield this weapon. Dathka soon grew very close to his master (in the sense of the father he never had).

At the age of twelve he was at the fifth level (out of sever levels) of his training. He was very inquisitive about everything, always wanting to know more than he was taught. His master told him that it was a good thing to want more knowledge. “Power is built on knowledge,” he would always say. Dathka’s other teachers told him he was too inquisitive for such a young age. However, no matter what they said, he still pursued knowledge. One of the things he was interested in was the history of the Jedi and Sith. His teachers tried hard to discourage him towards such things. When he asked his master about the subject, he would always tell Dathka that the time was not right to talk about the subject. This answer always puzzled Dathka, but he knew that his master would not tell him anything that was not right. So, he listened to his master and dropped the subject.

Adolescence

When Dathka turned fifteen, his master felt that he was ready to begin the selenoren trials. The selenoren trials were a set of tests and courses that were to see if the youngling had enough training to become a warrior. They were custom for most Zabrak to go through. They were the hardest thing Dathka had ever done. They tested every skill and every bit of knowledge he had. He soon passed the course. He was then rewarded with his facial tattoo. He was very happy that day and his master was very proud of him. However, his master told him that he had some more things that he wanted to teach him.

A couple days later, Dathka met with his master so they could start some other training, Minka sat Dathak down and started talking. “Now that you have passed the selenoren trials and have completed your weaponry training, I can now tell you something I think you will be interested in. You have always been interested in the force and in Jedi and sith. Before I became a member of the Iridonian counsel, a descendant of a great sith leader named Tiamat trained me in the dark arts of the force. He taught me how to use the power of the dark side. This power is like nothing you ever felt before. He asked Dathka if he wanted to learn to use the force.” Dathka was shocked but interested in what his master was telling him. The thought of having great power enthralled him. He went to his quarters to think about what his master had told him. A feeling started deep inside of him, the fact of having unlimited power enveloped him. He went back to his master told him he wanted to learn. They started training the next day. Dathka learned how to use the basic uses of the force. He felt so powerful. After about two months training, he learned to use the force very affectively.

Tragedy

The next day Dathka went to find his master and when he got to his masters room he found he was gone. He searched all around the academy but to no avail. He went to the headmaster and asked him if he knew where his master was. The headmaster told Dathka that his master went on a short trip and should be back in a couple days. So Dathka waited. Three days passed, and then a month and his master never showed up. Finely the headmaster came to Dathka’s quarters and told him that his master and one other member of the counsel had been assassinated while on a trip to talus. Dathka set back in shock and disbelief. A felling of sadness settles upon him. He had lost the one person whom he cared about and revered as a father. The emptiness was very overwhelming for Dathka; he shut himself out from everyone around him. Through all this, a small feeling of revenge and hatred for the people who did this was building inside him. Soon this feeling overtook his outward self and he started getting angry and causing trouble around the academy. When one of the other students would cross or annoy him, he would hurt them by throwing them back using the force. He became very feared in the academy. The elders and teachers of the academy tried to calm him down and stop him from hurting others. They told him if he did not stop using force, he would be expelled from the academy. (Seeing that using the force was against the rules). He left the academy, and went searching for the people who killed his master.

The Search/Bad dealings/A New Friend

His quest took him to the Corellian system and then to the Coruscant System. While on Coruscant he was mixed up with a bothan smuggler lord named Vash Anin. He told Dathka that he knew information on the assignation of his master, but to acquire this information, he wanted Dathka to help him with a couple deals he was working on.

While working with Vash, Dathka got to know Raith Xderon. Raith was one of Vash’s smugglers. Dathka worked along side Raith on the jobs he was assigned. They soon became friends and Dathka soon forgot why he started working for Vash. Dathka worked with Vash for the next 6 months helping with smuggling jobs, thinking that one day Vash would give him the information he needed. One day Vash called Dathka into his office to talk. He told Dathka that the people that Dathka had been searching for had been killed in a cantina fight. He went on to say that Dathka could have a job as long as he wants. Soon Dathka realized that he was nothing but a liar and so Dathka used the force and threw him against the wall.

The Offer

He then left the building and started for his ship, but a Valheru named Talos Annedu stopped him while he was walking away from the office. Talos complemented Dathka on his use on the force and asked him if he wanted to come and join a secret cult of Dark Jedi called the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He said that Dathka would be able to continue his force training and be with others that embraced the dark side. Dathka thought that this would be a good idea to go somewhere where he could learn more about the force and become even more powerful. He left with Talos to the Dajorra System were the Dark Brotherhood was located.

The Dark Brotherhood

A New Life

When he got to the Dark Brotherhood, it was like nothing he had ever seen before. When he entered the Dark Brotherhood Academy, it was like nothing he had ever seen before. Its vast halls filled with old sith artifacts, boggled him. Dathka was soon put into the ranking were he got a new master to finish his training. Dathka chose to be in the order of the Krath because that is what his old master Minka Kasear was. The krath were known for there want and need of knowledge and Dathka had always sought more knowledge, so this order fit him perfectly. His new master’s name was Acheron d’Tana. He was a very kind, understanding individual who was a great help to Dathka on his promotions. The other members were all friendly and very fun to compete with. Dathka also joined a battle team were he made new acquaintances and friends. He soon learned new force powers and new fighting styles. Dathka new he had made the right decision in coming here.

Dathka's Friend

When Dathka was on assignment to Coruscant, he ran into Raith Xderon in a cantina. The two talked for a long time and then Dathka asked Raith if he wanted to come join him in the Dark Brotherhood. Raith asked what the specifics were and then agreed to it. The two left the next day for the Dark Brotherhood.

A new Master

After Dathka had reached the rank of Acolyte, Acheron his master retired from the Dark Brotherhood. When his master left, Dathka was very disappointed because he had gotten to know Acheron and so the change was not easy. Dathka went without a master for about two weeks before he decided that he wanted a master again. He went and talked to Zandro about it and they started looking, getting specifics on what Dathka needed in a master. A couple days later Zandro came to Dathka and told him that he could take him on as an apprentice. Dathka talked it over with Zandro for a while and then agreed to it. So this is how Dathka became Zandro’s apprentice.
