Misdirection is the key to survival. Never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects and never reveal your true strength.
If knowledge is power, than to be unknown is to be unconquerable.
Lazarus Concordance Credo.
Character History
The early years
- Born on Saleucami, three years after the battle of Yavin, Lokasena was the son of a prominent member of the Lazarus Concordance. A ruthless and efficient organized crime syndicate. Claiming to enforce government policy, the Concordance blackmailed all who opposed the politicians that paid for their services.
Corvinus was taken from his home world at a very young age. Resettled on a distant and unnamed forest planet, Lokasena was trained to become one of the Concordance’s best enforcers. Thrown into a pit of wolves to fight for survival, Sena flourished.
The Lazarus project
- Some 1 year after the battle of Yavin, the government of Saleucami decided to create a group that could come up with answers against the population’s growing turmoil.
The many brilliant men in that group could also be counted upon to keep their mouths shut until they did come up with those answers. And so the Clerics came to be, led by a man named Maximillian Caesar.
Seeing that this group would need to continue its work long after the then present government would end its term, it was made an ongoing “black project”. Untraceable, unaccountable to congress or even succeeding administrations.
- People new that this project was real. Ministers and officials often tried to end this project. More than once by force. Yet somehow it always survived any process designed to purge it. This earned it the name Lazarus.
Now the Lazarus Concordance was free to act as it willed. Operating on its own, unaccountable to anyone, as judge, jury and executioner. Following their motto’s; “In time of war, the law falls silent.” The Concordance revelled in their belief that Caesar could do no wrong!
Adolescence
- At the age of 16 he entered the fighting cages. Lazarus Concordance officials wagered high amounts on the outcome of these fights. These high placed men and women soon learned that it was prudent to bet on Lokasena’s victory.
At 18, Sena was still the undefeated champion of the cage. Noticing that he was always a bit faster or stronger that his opponents, he sought new challenges.
- One of the syndicate under-bosses, a man named Greython Tellor, saw Lokasena’s potential.
Medical training
“Welcome, Lokasena.” The old man said as Sena entered the room. Greython Tellor had been Sena’s mentor for some time now. He trusted him.
“Let me introduce you to Dr. Willard. He will guide you in your medical training.”
Lokasena looked at the new face. It was a fairly young man, although stress and long hours had formed deep wrinkles on his forehead. As he extended his hand in politeness, Sena could not help but notice that Willard’s hand was ice cold. “A pleasure to meet you, sir.”
“No, the pleasure is all mine.” Willard said in a raspy voice. “I hear good things about you. Mr Tellor tells me you have an interest in the sciences.” “Yes, I do…” “Excellent! You will accompany me to our teaching facility. We’ll make a scientist out of you yet.”
Months of intense studying and exams followed. Lokasena proved to be an exemplary student. His only problem was respecting those who, in Sena’s eyes, were wrong.
“Hey Sena!”
Corvinus turned to see Elim run towards his, down a hospital corridor. Elim had been his fellow student, he was training to be a cleric as well.
“How can I help you today, Elim?” The dark haired young man halted in front of him, catching his breath. “How did you know? Ah well, anyway… I was wondering if you could look at this patient chart for me. I just can’t seem to pinpoint his genetic defect.”
Lokasena took the chart and studied it for a moment.
“Heart, lung, liver and kidney failure… He won’t last long!” Sena said when he finally looked up again. “Actually, it’s a she.” Elim smiled smug.
“Ah… well, unless you believe the problem to be in her genitals or hormones, that information is irrelevant.” Corvinus dropped another glance at the chart. “You need to put her on broad-spectrum antibiotics for the infection.”
Elim frowned. “I already ruled out infection! No fever, no elevated white count in her blood.”
“That’s fascinating!” Sena replied. “And if you hadn’t pumped her full of immuno-suppressants I’d be surprised..” “But her immune system was attacking her body…”
“NO…!” Sena interrupted. “The infection is attacking her organs. We need a lung biopsy to see which of the 10 million bugs is killing her.”
“If I biopsy her now, she’ll go into effusion.” Elim snapped as Lokasena raised an eyebrow and sighed. “Very well. Go tell her that she’ll die because her doctor is a coward! No? Then get me a piece of her lung, now!”
“You better do as he says, Elim. Sena has the tendency to be right about these things.”
Dr. Willard walked up to the young men. Elim nodded and then turned to make his way back to his patient.
“That was a solid call, Sena. Yet again… I think you’ve learned all you can here.” Willard smiled at Corvinus. “I heard you were interested in bio-mechanics. That field is wide open for you, if you want it.” Lokasena felt a rush of relief come over him. “Yes sir, very much…”
“But why, Sena? Why take on a whole new specialty now?” Sena’s answer was short.
“More research, less people.”
*And so Lokasena’s experimentation with bio-mechanics began.
*A Knowledge that would serve him well, in the future.
Afterwards, Tellor promoted the young fighter to official Concordance Cleric.
In his new position, Lokasena was entrusted with sensitive information about the inner workings of the Lazarus hierarchy. He was implanted with a cortical stimulator. The device was designed to trigger the production of vast amount of natural endorphins in Sena’s body. The idea was to make the subjects immune to pain, should they ever be captured and tortured.
Adulthood
- Years went by, and at the age of 24, Sena proved to be an exemplary Cleric.
Conflict within the ranks of the Clerics grew. Fingers were being pointed at Corvinus. Especially by Elim, his colleague and friend.
Therefore the Concordance set Lokasena up for a trap. He was sent to a penal colony as an enforcer to administrative policy. There he was in charge of security.
One day, a group of prisoners high jacked a transport. As the transport left orbit, Sena gave the order to destroy it.
With a single blast, the transport was destroyed. Killing the escaped prisoners.
Unfortunately for Lokasena, one of the crewmembers onboard the transport had been the daughter of syndicate boss within the Concordance.
Sena was stripped of his rank and position. He underwent immediate surgery, were the cortical implant was removed. Sena was throw in to an isolation cell. His body had become accustomed to the higher endorphins in his blood. With the implant removed, Sena went into withdrawal. His senses were obscured by the darkness of his cell.
After a long period of pain and suffering, Sena had finally built up enough hate to break free of his confinement. Single-handedly he killed everyone in the prison complex and fled to the far reaches of space.
A new beginning (Thinker, Fighter, Spy)
- He knew that this hate inside him was fuelling him. He needed to find a place where people were like him. He finally reached the Dark Brotherhood and was accepted as a member.
Amongst his brethren, Sena felt powerful. He felt at home.
- Later, after the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, Lokasena decided that a cranial implant did have its uses. If he were ever captured, it would prevent him from succumbing to torture.
With knowledge of his previous implant and help from the extensive Brotherhood Databanks, Lokasena created a new implant. Far more effective and dangerous.
It renders him fairly immune to pain, given that the pain is induced over long periods of time.
Short bursts of pain, such as injuries in battle, can still be felt however.
The implant can no longer be removed, not without killing Lokasena. This feature makes him the ideal person to entrust with sensitive information.
Love, hate and The Great Jedi War
Cry woe, destruction, ruin and decay.
The worst is death, and death will have his day!
Komari’s embrace of pain
Lokasena was on board of the Dark Prophet when the Taldryan fleet was attacked. Together with Komari Vossa, a team mate and old friend, he escaped to the Katarn, seconds after the Dark Prophet exploded.
- Corvinus had been attacked by a captured Yuuzhan Vong in the Katarn’s morgue.
The Vong had stabbed him in the back. The wound healed, but the scar can still be seen.
- On board the Katarn he and Komari helped track down a Vong intruder. They were able to corner the enemy until superior Taldryan forces arrived.
It was on that ship, during the Vong attack, that Sena and Komari shared their first kiss.
Their love was passionate but short. Komari was killed in another Yuuzhan Vong engagement. Lokasena grieved deeply over his loss.
There are those who claim that Sena created his cranial implant to ease the pain of loss.
Sena returns a favour
“So, we have found you at last!” Lokasena’s voice was calm and relaxed as the bitter cold winds tore at the trees surrounding him.
“How did you do it, Corvinus? How could you possibly know where to find me?” Greython Tellor asked with trembling lips.
From above, a small, black bird sat on Lokasena’s shoulder. “A little bird told us…” Sena smirked.
“But why would you even come back here?” Tellor whimpered.
“Revenge, Tellor. Revenge for what you made me.” Corvinus’ brow furled and his jaw clenched.
“What I made you? I never had to make you! You were always what you are know. Calm, tempered and forgiving…” Lokasena recognised that Tellor was pleading for his life.
“Besides, my sources tell me you became a Jedi. Killing is not the Jedi way.” Tears were running down the man’s face.
“By the Gods, how the mighty have fallen! There was a time when your spy network was reliable, but not any longer. They were only half right.” the Dark Jedi Knight replied as his Lightsaber flared its purple blade.
Before Tellor could say another word, his head lay next to his body.
The swing of the blade did not even upset the Corvus, who still sat content on Sena’s shoulder. “Come my little friend, our bones are chilled and our stomachs are growling. Let us seek food and refuge for the night.” Corvus crowed his approval and the both made for the cover of the forest.
The prodigal sister
Asani Vosa
After Komari’s untimely demise, Lokasena concentrated most of his attention to his late lover’s younger sister.
In the beginning, Asani Vosa was very young and naïve. They supported each other after Komari’s death.
Vowing to himself that he would never let such a terrible tragedy befall him again, Lokasena took Asani under his wing of protection. Sena even supported Asani when she decided to leave Taldryan.
They remain the best of friends, even though they are in separate clans.

Trivia
Lokasena has an interest in phylosophy and poetry, which is reflected in the way he speaks.
Forged in lightening and tempered in blood
His primary weapon is his Mormegill sword. It was given to him by the Lazarus Concordance after slaying a Balvarine with his bare hands.
The sword was forged with lightening and tempered in the blood of the beast he slew.
This process gave the blade its characteristic, black colour.
Balvarines are a species native to the forest world where Lokasena grew up. They are a werewolf-like race.
At about 2 meters in height, with viscous claws and fangs, Balavrines are a formidable opponent to any warrior. Their saliva is highly corrosive.
A Balvarine den is lead by it’s matriarch, which is the strongest and largest female. At a certain age, due to hormones, the matriarch’s fur turns white.
Balvarines are very intelligent. Some have even been known to understand the tongues of men.
Lokasena has often fought these vicious creatures. Always using his Mormegill or bare hands.
Killing a Balvarine with a Lightsaber is near to impossible.
Balvarines seem to have an instinctive fear for Lightsabers.
When they know a warrior carries one, they will simply hide deep in their lairs.
And Lightsaber or not, no one in their right minds would want to step into a Balvarine lair.
Corvus Corvinus
From the very beginning, Lokasena has hunted many times in the forests of Taruma.
Hunting for the Great Wolves of Saleucami, which he brought to Taruma for sport and training.
On one such ventures, Sena found a young, wounded Jackdaw.
Although the birds usually are an omen of death, Sena took pity on the bird and
nurtured it back to health.
Corvus Corvinus
Corvus, as the animal was named, usually sits on his master’s shoulder.
Lokasena has been seen talking to the bird. Sometimes it even appears that the birds speaks to its master.
Whether this is in fact the case, or simply an example of another Krath gone round the bend, is still open to debate. But when carrying Corvus, Sena always refers to himself in the plural form.
To Corvinus, Corvus is an equal.
When conflict arises, Corvus will circle above untill the danger has passed.
