Character History
A Born Warrior
Xedhur was born on the Zabrak home planet of Iridonia in the year 2 ABY to a pair of Zabrak parents, with one elder brother, an arena gladiator. As an infant, Xedhur had always respected his brother's strength and combat prowess as an arena combatant, and his work was the source of much of the family income.
In his spare time, Xedhur would spar with his brother, and developed a closer bond with him than he did with his parents. This also caused him to develop strong swordfighting skills, and he always looked to follow in his brother's footsteps as a gladiator. In his school, his lack of academic proficiency was well known, but people tended to shy away from insulting him about it, knowing of his training with his brother.
Xedhur's life began to take shape after his arena debut at the age of 16. In a duel using vibroblades, Xedhur brought about the premature death of another Zabrak close to his age. This sparked an illustrious career in the arena, and brought further income to the family.
A Rising Star

The owners of the arena had selected both him and his brother as their representatives in an upcoming tournament on Ord Mantell. While he travelled there to make a name for himself, there was much more to happen in the tournament than mere dueling.
Word of the championship didn't reach very far - only around 400 turned up to participate. All blades were blunted and all blasters were powered down to reduce the risk of death, but not negate it entirely. These days would change the Iridonian's path for the rest of his life. As a team, Xedhur and his brother had reached the semi-finals. Fighting alongside each other they both anticipated each other's actions, in the best show of teamwork out of the remaining combatants. The semi-final battle began, but halfway through a terrible accident occured -Xedhur's brother was impaled on the blades of a Wookiee pair. Xedhur continued the fight, finding he had a sixth sense, the ability to see attacks before they struck. As he gave in to his rage, he overcame the two Wookiees. The crowd went wild, except for one yellow female Twi'lek who barely moved, but was clearly impressed by what she saw. He found there was and emptiness inside him after his brother's death. He was forced to exit the tournament - the loss of his brother was overpowering, and likely to hinder his performance. As he contemplated his future, a stranger offered to sort everything out for him. Just remember one thing about Xedhur, about any Zabrak - do not insult his family, or it may be the last thing you do. This was the warning someone on Ord Mantell failed to heed, and they lasted no longer than a couple of seconds after the words were spoken.
A Stranger Calls
Xedhur decided to take a walk that night, mourning his brothers death. His path took him through the town, only to be distracted by something in an alley. As he came to a dead end, he turned around and saw a cloaked figure in the entrance. As the figure closed in, he panicked - there was something not right about this person. Xedhur charged into combat that night, only to end up with a sword at his throat, staring at the female Twi'lek in front of him. As the Iridonian laid eyes on the attractive Twi'lek, he was shocked to see how well she could wield a blade. Standing there he was told he had the chance to become something and not live like a fighter forever. The Zabrak took the opportunity gladly, and was told that his new life would begin soon after a journey to an undisclosed location. Boarding a ship, the journey began, and he headed towards his new life, which was in the hands of a complete stranger to him - and was sure to be one of the greatest adventures he would ever go on.
Unlocking Doors
Finding his ground they reached a planet called Judecca. At first sight, he was impressed. They accepted him with open arms and that same day he discarded his old name to take up a new one - Cethgus. Learning quickly of his true nature, the Zabrak was a fast learner in areas of combat - such was to be expected of a former gladiator - but he dwindled on how to use this door he was slowly unlocking. Continuing his training he marvelled at what he could learn, focusing on his training in the Dark Brotherhood. Cethgus was moved to Antenore where he soon became Tetrarch of a Battleteam named Ebon Cloak. However, he soon sought out to be different, learning that there was nothing he could identify with in the ranks of the Krath, and thus he joined the Obelisk order, returning to the ways of combat. Moving up in ranks, he became a Jedi Hunter.
Changing Winds

Cethgus was soon given a master by the name of Impetus, who was the Twi'lek that had first brought him to the Dark Brotherhood . They both worked on their unique bond as Master and Student. Cethgus soon learned that anything Impetus did was always for Cethgus' benefit and began to respect his Master in time. Learning together they both walked on one line, improving as a team. Cethgus finalli started to move up in the hierarchy and with that he found a new spot as a Battleteam Leader, moving to House Caliburnus. Settling into the leadership spot, the Jedi Hunter started to work on his new subordinates before a changing wind swept over the Zabrak.
Going Places
Cethgus entered the darkest months of the Sixth Great Jedi War and revelled in the carnage which pursued, finding that his training in combat worked wonders for him in the conflict. However, he had one last task and knew that the last days of the War were his only chance to see his family. Resigning from his position in the Battleteam before the end of the war, the Zabrak deliberated upon how to get back to his home planet. Travelling to Judecca, Cethgus stole a transport ship from his Clan and headed towards Iridonia. Landing on the planet, his family greeted him with open arms. But as always, nothing was as it seemed. From out of the ship came two troopers that had hid on the stolen transport, and a battle ensued between Cethgus and the stowaways. In the end, one of the men was slain, whilst the other ran to the ship and managed to escape back to Judecca.
Family Trade
Cethgus found himself stuck on Iridonia with no means of getting off-planet. To make matters worse, the man he had killed bore the insignia of Clan Scholae Palatinae upon his armour. Cethgus knew things would only become worse if he didn't return and face his actions. His family supported him and in a sign of respect his father gave him his most prized posessions - two ships and a pilot droid. Bidding his family farewell for the last time, he headed back to Judecca, ready to face the results of his actions. Arriving on the planet, he was not greeted by the warmest of welcoming parties.
You Have Been Charged
Cethgus was greeted by Raidoner and a detatchment of soldiers as the Hunter stepped out of his ship. Whilst being escorted, he saw a familiar Wookiee by the name of Laurus, but was quickly moved on. Shown into a large chamber, he was faced Braecen, Thran Occasus, Zeron, and his Master, Impetus. He stood before them, the floor adorned by the CSP insignia. Braecen announced the charges as followed murder in the first degree and high treason. The debate that followed was a grueling one, but the verdict was inevitable: guilty. Cethgus was sentenced to banishment from the Clan compound for several months. If found there, the punishment would be much more severe. He was quickly escorted off-planet by the Clan's soldiers, head hung low in shame, but he knew he had gotten off lightly. Soon after, he headed back towards House Caliburnus' home planet.
Bad to Good
After an intense grueling by his Quaestor, Cethgus finally exited her office only to find out he had been promoted and finally gotten his Knighthood. Creating a saber, the Knight moved on from there and found that he was to be made a Flight Leader, but he resigned a week before a war broke out between the Clan's two Houses. Cethgus found himself fighting people he had know, and only after the war resigted did he realise the due which had followed out of the war both houses came to a draw evenly matched as they where. Cethgus soon resigned from Flight Leader after the war, but changes were to be made, and his Master moved to the opposing house. Looking to pick up the pieces, Cethgus found himself facing changes that would be for the greater good.
Your Choices
Afterwards, there was a quiet time in the Dark Brotherhood -at least for a little while, before the Rite of Supremacy started. In the mists of battle the Zabrak found himself doing all he could for his clan, pushing himself to his limits. However, During the RoS not everything went to plan. Finding himself outnumbered, he awoke in his quarters injured, only just managing to get off the planet alive. Cethgus changed forever after that day. In his last action of the war he travelled to a planet and bought two droids for his ship, costing him a total of one thousand credits. After the war, Cethgus found himself looking towards the future. Cethgus made his choice that day - he would move towards the future with the Clan rather than sit back and watch.
Inheritence
Cethgus was soon given the rank of Templar, which would open new doors for him. A couple of days later, Cethgus found himself with an apprentice - Fionn dan Locut'Hal. Walking the path of a Master, the Zabrak soon found that together their bond grew strong, learning that everything was a process of falling over, but getting back up and trying again. This bond stood strong and would continue to do so. With this new pairing also came another aspect. The Zabrak was shown into the battleteam Order of the Serpent, which was soon renamed Souls of Darkness. Staying in the battleteam, he began to work harder than ever on projects. Before long he found himself being given the position of Sergeant, and with pride he settled into his work.
