- "Knowledge and power are one and the same. The more you know, the more advantages you have in any situation."
- ―Arthadonis reciting his favourite quote soon after arriving on Judecca in 37 ABY
Arthadonis Kalderis is a young Kaleesh Protector born on the Kaleesh homeworld of Kalee. Spending most of his life as a slave he eventually came to work for the Czerka Corporation. Using his natural skills at stealth, he became a valued agent for Czerka before encountering the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 37 ABY on Telos IV. Following a hostile encounter with the Brotherhood recruiter on the planet, Arthadonis decided to leave his old life behind in the pursuit for power within the Brotherhood. Eventually becoming one of the apprentices of Scholae Palatinae's Quaestor, he has since been focusing on his personal development and acclimatisation over the rush for promotions.

Arthadonis's homeworld of Kalee
In 16 ABY, Arthadonis was born to a small tribe of Kaleesh called the Kalderi. His Father Zeltras was a high-ranking officer in the Kaleesh Military and the alpha male of the tribe. His battle expertise and skill with a blade meant he was called away to duty often for months on end. Because of this, Arthadonis grew up with his Mother Luqem his main role model. She was a kind Woman in contrast to her Husband, she used her stature as the prominent wife of Zeltras as a way of keeping control of the village they lived in, and often became a source of information on the state of affairs throughout the galaxy due to her relation. Arthadonis had 2 direct siblings, His brother Davro born in 13 ABY and Kasru, his sister born in 18 ABY although he was related to almost everyone in the tribe in one way or another with dozens of half-brothers and sisters. The three were very close and were known for causing trouble, often finding themselves being punished for things such as stealing and pranking villagers rather than training as their Father Zeltras demanded. Being the middle child, Arthadonis was often forgotten during family functions, his Mother was happily taking care of youngest Kasru and Davro, while the biggest troublemaker was also the pride of their Father.
As the trio entered their teen years, they each began pursuing different goals. Kasru followed their mother becoming a promising young peace keeper and diplomat in the village. Davro on the other hand was quickly swept up by their Father with plans to join the military as soon as he was old enough. Arthadonis was once again left to his own devices and allowed to pursue whatever he desired. He saw this as both a blessing and a curse, he was free to do what he wished but with no guidance or assistance he had trouble learning many skills. Several years later, Davro had become old enough to join their Father in service of the Kaleesh military leaving Arthadonis and Kasru with their mother. By this point Kasru had become an excellent diplomat earning respect not just in their village but all over Kalee for multiple successful missions. The most noteworthy of these was her brokering of a treaty between the Hondar and Breles, two bitter enemy tribes who days before were gearing up for war. Arthadonis however was seen as a misfit and embarrassment to his tribe. He had no goals and no ambition which on several occasions resulted in arguments and on occasion even fights between Arthadonis and his father Zeltras.
Exile
In 37 ABY Zeltras had had enough and after a particularly large brawl between the two, he exiled Arthadonis from their tribe in disgust. Given only his mask, Arthadonis was sent out into the wilderness told only to return if he could prove he was a valuable member of the tribe. Arthadonis spent the first several nights on the fringes of the tribe hoping that his father would reconsider however after the fourth day, he realised that no-one was coming to help him so he wandered deep into the jungles of Kalee.
Several weeks passed and Arthadonis had set up a rudimentary camp at the base of a large cliff some distance from his former tribe. He'd fashioned a Shoni spear and had a healthy supply of Mumuu meat however he was still unsure of what he would do. Soon after setting up camp he began feeling uneasy about the area but putting it down to his uncertainty he ignored it. One night he began to feel an odd sensation deep within himself and his senses became heightened. He also began feeling a presence within the mountain he was camped at the base of. Following the feeling he discovered the entrance to a tomb, the final resting place of an ancient Sith.
Through his progression of the tomb Arthadonis was attacked by several automated traps but using his heightened senses he was able to overcome and in some cases even avoid them before finally reaching the burial chamber. When he entered he was greeted by a Kaleesh ghost offering him the power to defeat his father in exchange for servitude to the ghost. Arthadonis accepted and was taught by the ghost how to absorb it's power. Once he'd done so, Arthadonis's power grew exponentially and the voice of the ghost now guided his thoughts from within. Before leaving, he opened the burial casket and took the mask and lightsaber buried with the corpse to use as his own.
Revenge
Arthadonis soon returned to the village wearing the mask he'd acquired in the tomb and challenged his father to one on one combat. Zeltras happily agreed knowing that victory would mean permanent exile of Arthadonis however he wasn't prepared for Arthadonis's new abilities. Arthadonis was amazed by how fast and strong he was, able to easily defeat Zeltras. A thought then entered Arthadonis's mind, kill Zeltras and take up his mantle as leader of tribe Kalderi. Before he realised what he was thinking Arthadonis had ignited his lightsaber and pierced the throat of Zeltras with one clear thrust. The tribe fell silent, surprised and shocked by what had just happened. Luqem came running out from the crowd throwing Arthadonis to the side and knelt down to her husband. Realising he was dead she cried out as a few tribesmen began to turn on Arthadonis. Defending himself Arthadonis turned his lightsaber on them and sliced through the tribesmen with ease. Arthadonis then turned to kill his Mother Luqem however he managed to stop himself before striking, seeing and feeling the fear the surviving tribe members had toward him, Arthadonis fled the area back into the forest.
Unable to believe what he'd done he realised that it was the ghost that had pushed him to kill the tribesmen and his Father. Arthadonis tried desperately to rid himself of the ghost's voice, tearing away at his head but couldn't. The ghost merely laughed at his attempts and began barraging his thoughts with images of death and suffering until Arthadonis fell unconscious.
New Life
Arthadonis woke up on board a small freighter with his hands bound behind his back and his mask and lightsaber missing. The voice of the ghost was also missing allowing Arthadonis to talk his way out of the bindings and into a position on the crew. A few days later the ship arrived at Iridonia to deliver their cargo. The planet felt alive to Arthadonis, he could sensing many others with powers like his which both worried and excited him. Leaving his former captor's ship to stay on the planet for a while, Arthadonis encountered a tribe like group of Zabrak who trained to use the force and requested inclusion in the training.
