Character History
Fallout
- "I believe so, sir. Arack Tavar...I was transfered to your unit by Quaestor Jade this morning"
- ―Arack Tavar to future friend Fremoc Pepoi on what counted as "important business"; circa 31 ABY
Transfer
After arriving amidst the inferno that now consumed not only the Ragnos Cathedral but the whole of Tarthos, Arack Tavar was pinged with a transmission from Jade Atema Sadow, the Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, welcoming him to the House and telling him to report to Fremoc "Demonic" Pepoi, the Commander of the elite Battleteam, the Night Raptors.
Arack did as bid but he walked in at a bad time as one of the Flight Leaders, Valorian, had just told Pepoi that their sister Battleteam, the Night Hawks, had been ambushed by the Yuuzhan Vong. In a flurry of motion, Commander Pepoi grabbed Arack's transfer orders and officially instated him as a member of the Team, ordering him to put on his new Ragnos armor and report to the city of Kar Alabrek to reinforce the Hawks.
Cathedral Mayhem
However, when the battle seemed to be going the Raptors' way, horrible news was given to Fremoc by a Lieutenant in the Dlarit Special Operations Group...the Cathedral had been infiltrated by a unholy alliance of Peace Brigands, Yuuzhan Vong, and Jeedai.

Armory
Soro-Suub GLX 'Firelance' Assault Rifle
An assault rifle originally designed for use by bounty hunters, the Firelance possess no marking, save for the Silver Dragon crest which is Arack's coat of arms. A high-rate of fire and a steady accuracy make this weapon a real assest in the field and the perk of it being able to be broken down for quick concealment or cleaning makes the Firelance a must have for any bounty hunter...or Dark Jedi.
Desidirium
File:Desidirium.jpgDesidirum, the longsword of Arack Tavar
A majestic longsword that once belonged to a Peace Brigade Captain, Desidirium was relieved of its owner by Manji Keibatsu Sadow during the 31 ABY burning of the Ragnos Cathedral. Made of the rare ore called durasilver, the sword blade is double-edged blade with an indent in the middle to increase streamlined use and to add a majestic look to it.
The crossguard is made of twisted durasilver that seperates the blade from the hilt made of durasteel that was tightly wrapped in black grip-cloth for both a dark appearance and to ensure that the wielder never accidentally lost control of the longsword. The entire sword is sheathed in a simple scabbard of black rancor skin over a hardened durasteel shell. Desiderium is Arack's most prized possession and he keeps the sword with him at all times.
Ragnos Armor
Composed of composite plasteel plates, the House Marka Ragnos battle armor is a state-of-the-art armor suit. Drawing ideas and looks from both the Mandalorian armor schemes and private contractors, and in combination with modern modifications of this day and age, the Ragnos armor was born.
Matte black in color, from the boots to the helmet with a drop-down visor of the same color, the armor shows the true dark nature of the House of the Mentor. The visor provides standard, thermal, and low-light vision modes as well as a targeting computer and the armor itself can protect the wearer from shrapnel and blaster bolts of a low power setting. A utility belt is worn around the waist that holds various mission-specific utilities; med-packs, hydration tablets, field rations, grapple hooks, power packs, and explosives.
The crest of Ragnos is born in blood red on the left shoulder and if the member belongs to one of House Marka Ragnos' units then that crest is born in a matching color on the right shoulder.
The true beauty of the armor is that it comes in specialized variants, the primary being; Assault, Melee, Infiltration, and Demolition. Arack Tavar wears a set of Assault armor at all times under his otherwise plain looking Solifugae robes.
