Kal di Plagia Vorrac, born Jev Brokkol and known as the Last Son of Plagueis by his Housemates, is a Sith Battlelord who currently serves as the Taskmaster of House Plagueis, Praetor to the Dark Lord of the Sith, and Commander of Battleteam Primus Pilus. A man of manipulation, he has practice in pulling the strings of all around him. While usually preferring to fight from afar and play with lives as if on a dejarik board, his shadowy past as an assassin allows him to fight when he must. Though he ages and deals with past injury, he is rapidly ascending through the powers of the Dark Side.
Character History(In Progress)
Early Years
Sali Beel.
Orphaned
Born on Imperial Center in 15 BBY, Jev Brokkol was the son of Karina Brokkol and her husband, a wealthy merchant from Bakura called Dovin Brokkol. While the two had been expecting a child for some time, shortly after the suspected time of conception Karina had been unfaithful with a man named Tyber Vorrac. The child emerged with his pale skin, while Karina bore an olive complexion and Dobin was dark-skinned; with Karina's jet-black hair and emerald eyes, the boy was obviously not an albino, and thus Karina became frightened of keeping him. In the night, she staged a break-in on Dobin's own penthouse before bringing the baby to the lower city's Motako Orphanage in secret and leaving him on the doorstep. There, he was picked up by Sali Beel, the Twi'leki matron of the orphanage. All she left with him was a note, in effect renaming him - the name Kal Vorrac would have been Tyber's choice for a son.
Deathsticks, like those dealt by Hado Kuzum.
Living at the orphanage alongside children of various species, all of whom were fluent in either Huttese or Basic - two tongues Sali had picked up in her lifetime - Kal was quickly exposed to variable speech. As a result, Kal began language with Huttese and moved on to Basic, but learned bits and pieces of other languages from the other orphans. While he was generally a friendly and intelligent boy, he developed a natural curiosity over the years, often leading him into trouble. At age six, Kal would discover the deathstick habit that Beel had kept a secret for years, and would become acquainted with her dealer, an Ithorian named Hado Kuzum. Sneaking out after Hado, he confronted the alien, who then gave Vorrac his first taste of a criminal lifestyle; he tempted him with money to cease his objections. After running some deathsticks to a client, he gave Kal fifty credits, more money than the boy had ever had.
Bad Choices
The next six years of his life would see Kal begin to spend his free time with bad people, take up stealing, and even get other boys and girls to join him in vandalism or other illicit activities. While he was young and was simply acting out, Sali recognized the trouble he could get into and, to ensure he didn't fall in with the wrong crowd, obtained paperwork to put him into a youth program at the Imperial Academy on Coruscant.
Finding the paperwork, Kal became angry and hurt, believing Sali wanted to send him away, and grabbed all of the stolen credits he'd been gathering for years. Running away from the orphanage, the boy fled to the nearest port and begging the nearest freighter captain - who happened to be Tyber Vorrac - to take him off the world before the Empire could take him. Assuming that he was in trouble, Vorrac unknowingly allowed his son to board, refusing his credits; at one of the first stops, the Smuggler's Moon, Kal would grow uncomfortable with the amount of questions that Tyber had and sneak off of the ship, running into Nar Shaddaa's alleyways and hiding until Tyber gave up looking for him. Following this, he found the closest inn and purchased a cheap room, falling asleep before he could think to do anything else.

Physical Description
Vorrac has black hair, emerald eyes, and skin pale as ice. While not an overbearing man, he is fairly tall at six feet and keeps his medium build well-toned and as healthy as possible. His hair is kept short enough for a soldier, and his face is kept free of facial hair. His left arm and both legs are prosthetic parts, painted a low-lustre black. Kal always wears his Brotherhood robes, both for effect and to conceal his false body parts.
Personality
One could say that Kal Vorrac is an example of life's shaping influences. Between abandonment and abuse at all levels of childhood to a career of assassination, followed by a life of subterfuge and manipulation, all at risk of betrayal, he has become both emotionally scarred and completely self-sufficient. He is known for his deep-set paranoia and his extreme patience and thoroughness, which works with his intelligence and years of experience to make him over-compensate for weaknesses.
He truly fears only complete helplessness. This fear is so prevalent that he will literally force himself through the gauntlet as his legs give out. Until he is proven useless and someone strikes him down, he will keep fighting. This makes him manipulate and destroy to secure his place of power, but ultimately means that he will likely die a lonely and unfulfilled death.
Weapons and Equipment
Having lived the life of a contract killer and having devoted most of his credits to weapons and equipment, Kal has an intimate knowledge of blasters and other guns. While he prefers pistols for their availability and ease of concealment, he's not loathe to pick up a rifle when the situation calls for it; often, he'll grab a spare off of a dead enemy when in a tight spot. Unlike some Dark Jedi, Kal treats the blaster as a ready secondary weapon in most situations; his lightsaber is fearsome, but when confronted with range, his skills as a marksman allow him to quickly end lives without putting his own in danger.
Since becoming a Dark Jedi Knight, as he was a Journeyman in the time before armory lightsabers were issued, he has carried a saber of his own at all times. In his free moment and at his place of residence, he modifies and constructs several replacement hilts; while his blade is one of the few things he truly loves, he will discard it at the first necessity, refusing to become attached. As such, many places he inhabits such as homes, offices, and even temporary headquarters will have the weapons concealed in ideal spots.
The Force is also something of weaponry and equipment to Kal; his injuries during the Second Battle of Antei left him greatly weakened, as replacement organs and the requisite surgeries worked with missing limbs and age to destroy his prior physical ability. In his rehabilitation, he came to understand the Force more deeply, and often uses it for camouflage, subterfuge, protection, self-augmentation, healing, weaponry, and even to resist the cold of Morroth during his treks with new Apprentices. His familiarity with it is so deep that he will use it by reflex for tiny tasks like opening doors, or grabbing a drinking glass; it's as familiar to him as using his hands.
The newest weapon in the entourage of Vorrac is the whip. Since becoming the Taskmaster of Plagueis, he has taken to the use of a simple leather whip, finding the sting and crack of it effective in schooling Journeymen. When outside of combat, he takes instead to a scourge with five thongs. Each is made of a three-foot strip of braided rancor leather, and is tipped with a cruel durasteel hook made for sinking into flesh. When not surgically removed, these usually leave the body in a cruel manner, ripping apart the muscles and tendons that they are embedded in on their way out.
Armor, robes, and clothing for Vorrac depend greatly on the situation; he is fixated on no one set. Should the event occur where it is necessary to be protected, he will don such equipment as Stormtrooper garb or even stolen durasteel variants of Beskar'gam. In other situations, he will stick to lighter armor or simple clothing, while still other incidences see him down to underclothes to escape the heat. Clothing is just that to Vorrac's sensibilities, gear to be changed at first need and without attachment or preference.
Only one article holds any attachment to the Sith: A Krayt dragon pearl, engraved faintly with his insignia and kept on a cord of bantha leather. Upon being asked about it in the past, he has reacted violently, even going so far as to mortally wound a questioner. It is kept securely guarded in a bank on Coruscant, inside one of the deepest-kept vaults he could afford.

Trivia
- Kal is a master of the game Dejarik, having studied the game as it was played on six different worlds.
- Kal was temporarily part of both the Krath and Obelisk Orders - he incorporates this into his backstory by saying he learned from both, but chose the studies of the Sith.
- Though Kal is a part of Plagueis, he does not consider himself a Dark Jedi - he has never had anything to do with the Jedi themselves, and thus he considers himself purely a member of the Sith Order.
- Kal enjoys gambling for the same reason he enjoys manipulation - overcoming an enemy and gaining from their loss - but has a strong dislike of wealth and luxury. He believes they are a path to weakness.
- Vorrac, while taking women to his bed from time to time and unafraid to pose as a lover to gain information, will never take another wife; the loss of Brijha and his children has hardened him against such things.
- While he has had many years speaking Basic to cover it, Kal's first language was Huttese and he does, in fact, have a very faint Hutt accent. It can only be heard when he does not actively try to cover it.
