Jonuss Rai Sadow is a Krath Pontifex of House Ludo Kressh. During his career as a Dark Jedi he has been many things; Tetrarch, Aedile, Quaestor of all 3 houses of Naga Sadow, and even Consul. He has served as the Librarian of Sadow as well as the Dark Side Compendium Tribune for the Brotherhood. His greatest accomplishment, however, was being named as a Son of Sadow, the highest honor for a member of Clan Naga Sadow.
Character History
Canis Loopus was originally born with the name J`Rai in the underbelly of Coruscant. When he was in his late teens, his father was forced to leave Coruscant and take his family with him because of gambling debts he owed several Hutts. After a short time in exile on a harsh jungle planet, J`Rai turned his father in to the Hutts (killing his mother and sister along with his father), collected the reward, and started a new life.
For a year or two he wandered, performing an odd job here and there as a mercenary. Eventually he found his way to an old hermit who claimed that he could sense the Force within the young man. J`Rai was pleased to hear these words and decided to get the man's claim checked out, after he killed him of course. This brought him to the Dark Brotherhood.
J`Rai trained as a member of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow where he was eventually given command of the Night Death Phyle. During this time he was under the tutelage of Candeth Martine, who during a training exercise, intentionally removed J`Rai's left eye with his sickle and ordered him to make a new one using a power he had been teaching him. J`Rai succeeded in the task and had proven more adept at using the power than his own master. This angered Martine. After J`Rai became Aedile of Marka Ragnos, and had been granted the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, Martine ceased to be his master and left the House.
J`Rai was faced with trouble from the beginning of his time as Aedile as his Quaestor, Iylan Kano, had gone missing. The newly appointed Aedile was forced to take command of the house during a Krath War. While the house did not come out of the war stronger than it had entered, House Marka Ragnos was not destroyed because of the leadership of J`Rai.
Shortly after the Krath War, Iylan Kano was removed as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos and replaced with J`Rai who led the house for roughly six months before having to stand down due to personal reasons. He left the DB only to return a month or so later to take up the reigns of Primus Goluud Quaestor where he fought to rebuild the struggling Obelisk House.
Clan Naga Sadow
His efforts were rewarded when the Clan Summit itself was drammatically shifting. Consul Xanos Zorrixor was being elevated to the position of Sith High Warrior and Proconsul Trevarus Caerick was ascending to the role of Oracle of the Brotherhood. J`Rai was asked to take command of the clan and assumed the throne of Naga Sadow as Consul. It was during this time that J`Rai merged with the spirit of his ancestor through a dark ritual and became Jonuss Rai. Choosing Malik as his Proconsul, Jonuss Rai immediately went to work to stabilize the clan's shifting leadership. It was during this time that both Malik and J`Rai were recognized for their loyalty to the clan. They were both awarded with the highest award that can be bestowed upon a member of Clan Naga Sadow: They had become Sons of Sadow.
Eventually Jonuss Rai Sadow's health was threatened and he was forced to step down as Consul, leaving Malik as his replacement. When his health stabilized once again, he returned to the clan and joined House Ludo Kressh, eventually becoming its Quaestor. This was a short reign however as he was not yet fully recovered from his illness and needed more time to heal. He stepped down but stayed as a member of the clan.
More recently, however, J`Rai had gone back to using his original birth name and had led HLK and HMR one more time each before leaving for 5 months. As far as anyone is concerned, however, the Dark Jedi known as J`Rai Sadow has not returned. In his place is the enigmatic Canis Loopus, the self proclaimed King of Wolves.

Sabers of Omen
Sabers of OmenThe Current lightsabers of Jonuss Rai Sadow are modeled after the fabled Saber of Omens that he had discovered after his knighthood in the Dark Brotherhood. Since that weapon was lost, he designed two new weapons upon his return to the Dark Side. Both weapons have no special abilities except that they can only be activated by the Force (the activation switches are located within the hilts themselves).
Eye of Sadow: The Eye of Sadow snaps to life with a crimson blade and houses the symbol of Naga Sadow in the central gem of the crossguard.
Eye of Kressh: The Sapphire blade of the Eye of Kressh holds the symbol of Ludo Kressh in the central gem of the crossguard.
