Kal di Plagia Vorrac is currently Quaestor of House Plagueis and Supreme Commander of the Jusadih Military Regime. A man of manipulation, he has practice in pulling the strings of all around him. While usually preferring to fight from afar and play with lives as if on a dejarik board, his shadowy past as an assassin allows him to fight when he needs to. That said, he grapples with age and injury as he continues his ascension through the Dark Side.

Character History

Early Years(Age 1-12)

Born and Betrayed

"Tyber, forgive me."

―Karina Brokkol's final words before leaving Jev.

Kal Vorrac was born as Jev Brokkol on Coruscant in 15 BBY, a name he didn't keep for very long. He was the son of Karina Brokkol and her childhood friend Tyber Vorrac. Jev was conceived during an affair of Karina while her husband, a wealthy Bakuran merchant named Dobin Brokkol, had been away on Rodia signing a business deal. Dobin was away during Jev's birth, and would be for the first two weeks of his life.

Unfortunately for Karina, Jev looked nothing like his supposed father. He had his biological father's oddly pale skin and striking emerald eyes, inheriting jet-black hair and a sharpness to his features from his mother. Karina immediately had Jev hidden away from her security staff, sabotaging the medical droids that had presided over his birth to appear as if they'd broken down. Eventually, she realized the futility of her actions and ran away with the child.

Sneaking into her personal speeder and flying some miles away to stash him in the lower reaches of Coruscant, she was forced to kill a few of her security personnel who thought she'd been kidnapped. She left Jev there, along with a note renaming him as Kal Vorrac for any who would find him. He was discovered by a twi'lek prostitute named Sali Beel and adopted as her son.

Three tongues

"Mommy, when will I grow lekku?"

―Kal Vorrac, age five.

While some children had toys, Kal was left with only his adoptive mother for entertainment. Soon after he began speaking he was able to use words of Huttese, Twi'leki, and Basic, the three languages most often used by Sali's clientelle. His use of Huttese was complete at the age of three, while four and five saw fluency in the other two tongues. In these years, Kal showed the first indications of his brilliant mind, learning to read from holonet displays.

Kal was also exposed to very harsh facets of the world. Sali was not always able to ensure privacy, showing Kal a few instances of rough treatment from clients. Later, he found the bruises and cuts left over from these encounters would be his first source of rage. Some clients would abuse him when he came too close, while others took an odd fondness of the boy, teaching him fighting techniques, stashing secrets, and other tools of their various trades.

Sali Beel was also a picture of addiction for Kal, bringing him to dislike drugs of all forms and giving him a special hatred for Deathsticks. At one point she incurred enough debt with her dealer, the ithorian Haido Kuzh, to put her life at risk and the life of her son. When she spoke to Haido, she offered the boy into servitude in exchange for her own survival. Haido agreed, but when the enforcers came to take Kal they left her with disfiguring scars along both cheeks.

Raised by Thieves

"Don't tuck it too far back in the sleeve. You need it to slide easily."

―Weelin Tham, on hold-out pistols.

Life with Haido quickly became a gauntlet for young Kal. Schooled to be a thief and, in time, an enforcer, he was punished for crying and throwing tantrums. He cleaned up after the ithorian and ran his messages around, growing attached to the man in spite of everything. Haido would reward him for stealing from competitors and innocents alike, instilling a strong drive to take from others. Even so, Haido made sure that Kal respected business and the nature of a deal. He couldn't afford for the boy to undermine him.

Over the next six years, Kal would learn more languages from those Haido did business with and would learn teachings of the fighting style Dulon from a few of those that liked him. Over time he became quite capable in the art, which was useful for the boy's small size. The boy was nearly ambidextrous from birth, and would come to train both of his hands to function equally. A duros named Weelin Tham was especially fond of the boy; he taught Kal how to conceal a hold-out blaster, and how to draw it quickly.

These skills would only serve him so well, however. As he grew up, Haido developed an attachment to the boy. He constantly tested him, encouraging him to steal from bigger and better targets, getting rich and growing proud of the boy. This ambition would be Vorrac's undoing; against Haido's instructions, he stole from a group of Trandoshan slavers. Though they never caught Kal in the act, they blamed Haido as a way to both expand their business and make up for their losses. The ithorian had no choice, offering them Kal's life to keep himself alive. Kal discovered this, hiding away before they could take him and stowing on a freighter bound for Nar Shaddaa.

Physical Description

Vorrac has black hair, emerald eyes, and skin pale as ice. While not an overbearing man, he is fairly tall at six feet and keeps his medium build well-toned and as healthy as possible. His hair is kept so short that he is nearly bald, and his face is kept free of facial hair. His left arm and both legs are prosthetic parts, painted a low-lustre black. Kal always wears his Brotherhood robes, both for effect and to conceal his false body parts.

Personality

One could say that Kal Vorrac is an example of life's shaping influences. Between abandonment and abuse at all levels of childhood to a career of assassination, followed by a life of subterfuge and manipulation, all at risk of betrayal, he has become both emotionally scarred and completely self-sufficient. He is known for his deep-set paranoia and his extreme patience and thoroughness, which works with his intelligence and years of experience to make him over-compensate for weaknesses.

He truly fears only complete helplessness. This fear is so prevalent that he will literally force himself through the gauntlet as his legs give out. Until he is proven useless and someone strikes him down, he will keep fighting. This makes him manipulate and destroy to secure his place of power, but ultimately means that he will likely die a lonely and unfulfilled death.

Teacher

Kal seems possessed of an odd penchant to identify with certain individuals and train them, either in his ways or in ways that suit his needs. Through this he has taught Vivackus Kavon, his most successful Apprentice, to become a skillful political player. He has also shaped the haunted Mograine into a killing machine. Recently, he trained the Farghul Necal, only to have the young one fail to kill him and subsequently die. In his void, he has adopted the Weequay Unus Domus as a replacement pupil.
