History

Youth

Born on Coruscant in a family of politicians. His father worked as a negotiator for the Clone armies during the Clone Wars, his mother was a shield maiden of Senator Lexi Dio, a Loyalist Senator close to the office of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who represented the world of Uyter. As a baby Tyren was taken away from home into the Jedi Temple. There he trained all his youth.

Teen Years

During the final days of the Republic, when Vader destroyed the Temple, Tyren was away on the field, fortunatly for him he wasn`t in the midst of battle so he was able to defeat the troopers who turned against him. Tyren in himself was allways on the border between Light and Dark, and the day would come when one of the two would prevail.

Adult

After the Great Jedi Purge he hid on the planet Byss becoming a pilgrim of sorts. After 34 years the lonelyness of his home drove him near-mad. On the same day he went to the nearest village he could find in search of company but stories of a "madman from the mountains" spread like a plague throughout the land. This angered Tyren very, he killed every one villager he could find therefore turning to the Dark path forever. He went on, killing every being he could find, until one day a Rogue Jedi who hid on Byss came to find Tyren and end his senseless onslaught of innocents. They dueled and Tyren fought bravely and hard but the Jedi was too much. In an instant the Jedi cut Tyren`s lightsaber in half rendering it useless. At the moment Tyren thought he would see his death another option flew through his mind, he focused on the Force and with great effort and energy struck the Jedi with a pure lightning bolt. The Jedi was unpreared for the attack and had no way to defend himself, he was dead. Allthough the shear enormity of Force that he used fatigued him greatly Tyren somehow found an X-wing and flew out of Byss. Somewhere in hyperspace he passed out only to wake up in a bacta tank on Sword sheath, a Gladius controled battle station in the Yridia system. There he was accepted, there he swore to help the Brotherhood destroy the Jedi.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood Facts

Gladius of Tarentum

"Welcome to the Swords Sheath!" Frosty Romanae said in his low Deshade voice.

"Thank you!" Tyren replied.

"You will be assigned your own quarters, where you can meditate and explore your potential and a flight deck for your X-wing where you can inspect your craft whenever you wish."

"Fine by me."

"You are one of us now, one of our brothers and as such we will help you achieve your highest potential. Welcome to Gladius of Tarentum, brother."

During his stay in Gladius, Tyren met a lot of people who were willing to help him and he has flurished. There he was accepted and he accepted in turn. In his short, but usefull stay in Tarentum, Tyren was asigned to Dox Romanae, than a Dark Jedi Knight, who thought Tyren a lot about the Brotherhood and its ways. Even more did Zin larn from Dox`s brother Frosty who, from the very first day, helped Tyren advance through the ranks. Once Tyren became a Guardian he left Tarentum and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a year. This period in his life is called "The Pilgrimage"

The Pilgrimage

During his time away from the Brotherhood and its affairs Tyren Zin traveled the galaxy in search of "another self". From the wasted of Tattooine to the home of the Witches of Dathomyr he traveled to find his new self. In the Brotherhood he was becoming wreackless, disobedient and for that he left, to change. So he did. Not long into his journey Tyren found an old Pilgrim, The Dragon pilgrim they called him, on an out-of-the-way world in the Outer Rim, he was the last of his order. He told Tyren that long ago there was a legend of a great dragon, lord of the universe, who ruled all under his strong grip. The Dragon monks praised this ancient diety. They were not evil, nor were they good, they tended to stay in the balance, attack only if threatend, defend when needed, never to look at the petty affairs of little people, never to engege in someone elses doings. As a final test of what he learned, Tyren was to defeat a Kryatt dragon, a race of ginat lizards that lived on the planet. The battle with the dragon lasted for hours on end. When it was all finished Tyern and his foe were exhausted to the limit. Tyren, with the last string of strenght took his katan blade and pierced the dragons skull scilencing it forever. "Ryuujin", The Dragon, The Dragon Pilgrim, thats the name he obtained after his battle. That was 12 months since he found the old man and with this inner peace, a new self, a new name he returned to the Brotherhood.

The return of the Dragon

When returning to the Brotherhood, Ryuujin did not go back to Tarentum but instead eager to learn about other clans came to House Exar kun of Clan Plagueis. In hopes of a new beggining and the contiuing of his trainig he asked for a master. Sith Battlelord Salth Khan replied to the request and took Tyren under his wing. Hoping to learn more from his new master Ryuujin accepted and thus became one of the brothers again...
