Meleu Karthdo is a Human Dark Jedi Knight from Clan Arcona. Following his life as an orphan at a young age, Meleu finally found his place in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and served as the apprentice of Kz'set.
Character History
Early life
Born in the Voss system in 9 ABY to unknown parents, Meleu was left on the doorstep of an old and retired miner, Syra Meleu (from whom he was named from, adopting the name Karthdo when he was older). During his upbringing Meleu was taught how to do a multitude of things, but being the sole 'child' of Syra, and with Syra being retired, Meleu decided to follow the footsteps of Syra and became a [[starwars:meleenium|meleenium] miner. At the age of 15, during a freak accident in a mine upon Voss III, Meleu discovered that he was a Force user after saving fellow miners from a collapse. After telling his father Syra what he had discovered, he got a reaction he was not expecting, his 'father' had known all along but had not let on. In a fit of rage after discovering that he was too old to join the Jedi Academy, Meleu decapitated Syra, starting his path to the dark side.
Path to the Dark Side
After his father's execution-style death, Meleu quickly realised that mining was not for him, he wanted power but also wanted to experience the galaxy as he had had a love for space exploration ever since he was a little boy. Stowing himself on board a freighter ship from his mining facility which was headed towards Kessel, where another mining facility belonging to the same company was. However, after being discovered by two guards, Meleu dispatched of the two with use of the Force, and promptly took over the ship. Despite having a freighter full of goods worth millions of credits, Meleu wanted more, he craved more. The dark side was getting stronger and it led him to Ziost, home to the Sith. However the Sith, believing that he was in fact a Jedi, due to his obvious power in the Force, but New Republic ship markings, they took him prisoner. The Sith sentenced him to death, whilst shackled and chained, Meleu's anger grew within as a jeering crowd looked on. A sudden burst of power exploded from Meleu, thus breaking the locks on the chains that bound him. Using the Force once again, Meleu pulled the executioner's vibroblade to his own hand and swiftly repeated history - decapitating the man like his father. Impressed by his strength in the Force, a Verpine named Kz'set offered to teach the young Human the dark side of the Force.
The Brotherhood - Early years
In his first years under the tutelage of Kz'set, Meleu quickly grasped lightsaber combat and was capable of completing hundreds of Ataru sequences proficiently. Kz'set taught him how to channel his hatred, and through this, he was able to empower his strength and defeat many able foes in sparring rooms within the Anchorage, where he had been stationed since his apprenticeship. However, like before, Meleu craved more power, but not of the physical kind, in fact he craved knowledge. As a result, Meleu traveled to Lyspair, where the Shadow Academy was based. Here, Meleu learned many new things, despite his goal being not that of physical power, but of knowledge, Meleu's dueling capabilities increased with his new found knowledge in almost all known lightsaber forms and martial arts forms. However, having not practiced them thoroughly enough, he was only capable of understanding the various ways in which each style was used, but this was still an advantage.
After three years at the Academy, the newly appointed Dacien Victae (who had known Meleu back from when he was stationed at the Anchorage), made Meleu his new Magistrate, with the order of reorganising and updating the archives on Lyspair. Recruiting some of the most knowledgeable Dark Jedi in the Brotherhood, Meleu began to recreate the archives.
