Incendus is a dark jedi and a member of the Order of the Sith.
Early Life
Incendus was born Rexion Krayt to a veteran of the clone wars and a maid. His father was not a clone trooper, but a mercenary hired to join the 501st. He saw the Empire as evil and decided not to fight for them. The mother was easily stressed, and Rex asked a lot of questions, so he was with his father most of the time. Nevertheless, he loved both parents, and they loved him. They had a religion from a galaxy far far away where they were required to gather every Sunday.
His life only went down when his father was accused of making spices. His father had a large record of public drunk charges, so they didn't put it past him. His dad was not allowed to see him because his mother and grandmother think that he was cooking spices. Then, his mother started drinking, and that's where Rex started down the path to the Dark Side. It was complete one morning when he got in a fight at school. A bully had been picking on him, and anger had flared inside of him. Mysteriously, sparks had flown out of his hand and electrocuted the bully near to death.
Joining the Brotherhood
After this, Rex's family tried to defend him because they believed in his story. Unfortunately, the Jedi and the court both found him dangerous, and Rex was forced to 30 days in the Juvenile Department of Coruscant as well as 30 days at the mental counseling center.
After the 30 days were up, Rex decided to get revenge. He joined a gang, and eventually did enough jobs to get recognized by a crime syndicate. After Rex had became the boss of the small-time gang, he joined the syndicate and combined his gang with them. Rex's parents were actually impressed, because their ancestors had formed an organized crime family a long time ago after migrating from Corellia. Rex had different plans though. The crime family had mistreated him, so he secretly recruited his own small group of men to wipe out the syndicate. His gang was in on it too. Eventually, the time came. Rex and his men had completely wiped out a syndicate by planning a strategy after gathering a lot of information. Incendus was then given a wakizashi by his father, whose house he would sneak to every now and then. His father had taught him in the ancient shinobi arts. Incendus used it to get revenge on the senator who put him in jail.
These actions got him attention from a recruiter from the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. On his twentieth birthday, he was encountered by an older man who offered him and his family a place to live on the planet Selen if he would come to an academy to learn how to defend himself and his family, and to achieve power. Rex was reluctant at first, but thought about it. He finally agreed. His father's family was given a place to live right across from his mother's family (which angered the families a little bit).
When he came to the academy, he was put into Clan Arcona and House Qel-Droma. When he was promoted to Acolyte, he was assigned to a master named Andrelious J. Inahj.
A New Name
After long, extensive genealogical research in the libraries, Rex learned that he had a pure-blooded Sith ancestor named Incendus. Unfortunately, Incendus was a disgrace to the Sith Empire after losing every single one of his soldiers to a single jedi during the Sacking of Coruscant. Rexion decided that he would be called Incendus in the Brotherhood until he reached Dark Jedi Knight, so that he would strive for more than one purpose.
The Black Flame
After Arconan members started founding empires, Incendus started one called the Black Flame. He then started a clan/alliance called the Mugen Clan. His goal is to dominate each and every planet and to become the most powerful being in the galaxy.
Shadow Gate Mission: The Ancient Sith Artifact on Korriban
Incendus' first mission after SG Training was a dispatch to Korriban to retrieve a stolen Sith Artifact. The person who stole it was unknown, but Incendus' master, Andrel, who was not even a member of Shadow Gate anymore, had ironically sensed that the culprit was on their way to Korriban. Incendus had asked Zakath if he could take this mission. This was an emergency, so Incendus was sent immediately after the artifacts were discovered stolen, and was given an extra armory saber for the occasion. On the way there, Incendus put the ship on auto-pilot so he could tamper with his sabers, a hobby he had picked up since learning Banlanth. He replaced the blue crystals with some stronger red crystals, to better prepare himself.
"The sad thing is that I only know Banlath," he said to himself, laughing under his breath. "And I'm still quite inexperienced with that style too. The only reason I really picked this mission was to test my skills to see if I have gotten any better." He finished closing the sabers and set them to his side. "I have got to stop talking to myself."
Upon descent into the atmosphere, Incendus was already feeling uneasy. I shouldn't have done this mission, he thought to himself as he looked at Korriban under a starry, dark sky. Korriban is creepy enough, but it's even worse at night. The wind howls, and it makes me think of the voices of the dead Sith that once inhabited this godforsaken spit of land. Suddenly, the radio in the ship shut off.
Incendus looked out the window, and was awestruck at what he saw. Out in the distance, there was a hooded black figure, slowly dissipating in the wind. After it had completely disappeared, the ship's entire system shut down. Incendus grabbed his supplies and ejected the seat, landing on his feet while the ship crashed to the ground.
"Well, I hope that Zakath's backup that he promised arrives here soon," he said. He picked up his comlink and dialed Zakath's scramble set. When Zakath picked up, Incendus told him what all had happened.
"Well this isn't good," said Zakath. "Do you have any leads at all?"
"Unfortunately, no. I'm working on it, though," replied Incendus.
"Good. Keep up.... danger....retrieve....your backup.....soon." Zakath's signal started breaking up.
"Zakath, are you there?"
"...zzz.......zzz....zzz." Incendus shut the comlink, and a feeling of great worry overcame him. He turned to the left, and continued walking. He kept going for about two hours.
Suddenly, the wind blew greatly from behind Incendus. When he turned around, there was a cave, long and dark. The wind continued to howl behind him, and Incendus knew something was about to happen that he wouldn't like. Even so, he walked on towards fate. As he traversed the cave, he saw skeletons, humanoid skeletons, with many bones. These skeletons were large and unusual, but the most unusual aspect of these skeletons were that they were red. Suddenly, there was a hissing sound, and Incendus activated his lightsaber. Almost immediately, he was knocked down to the ground. He stood, and turned around. There, in front of him was the same figure that he saw entering the atmosphere of the planet.
"I've been expecting you," said the figure. "You know me, yet you have not met me. I used to rule many planets with my own empire, in a quest for galactic conquest. Then I was struck down, by my apprentice and his son. I had hoped that they would have sent a much stronger person for me to take over, but I guess you will have to do.
Incendus was struck with fear. Palpatine? How is this possible? Incendus looked, and courageously said, "You underestimate me. I am still living. You are just a ghost of your formal self, a mere shell." Incendus, pleased with the courage he had displayed, had regained his confidence. "I will not lose. I will recover those artifacts that you have taken."
With this, the ghost of Palpatine let out a large, eerie laugh. "Is that so? I admire your courage, but you are overconfident. Even in death, I am a powerful Sith Lord. Do you not fear me?"
"....No. I don't. I don't fear the dead. Now give me what I came for."
Again, Palpatine let out a string of laughs. He pulled a silver chalice, with jewels lining the top, out of his cloak. "IS this what you're looking for?"
SNAP! The chalice was broken.
Immediately, anger flared up within Incendus. He activated the other saber and lunged at Palpatine. He dodged it. Surprisingly, Incendus was actually doing a small amount of damage. The force-ghost of Palpatine was hit twice in the face and knocked down to the ground. But then, Palpatine struck back. He attacked Incendus knocking him to the ground.
Incendus was going blank. He could hardly see. Palpatine had one. He was coming towards Incendus, sucking out parts of his spirit to make way for Palpatine's spirit. Suddenly, another ghost came out and attacked Palpatine from the side. Then came another. Incendus' vision was blurry, but he could make out two figures that he had read about in the archives of the Brotherhood's temple library-It was Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Incendus struggled to get up, but made it. He saw Palpatine start to dissipate after he had realized that he was lost.
"I will be back. The empire will be restored," said Palpatine. "YOU WILL SEE!!!!!"
After this, Incendus started to go unconscious again, exhausted. After struggling for a long time, he eventually let himself go to sleep.
Incendus woke up in a bed on the BAC Shadow, where he was greeted by Zakath. Zakath started bombing him with questions, and eventually asked what happened to the artifact.
".....It was destroyed by Palpatine," replied Incendus.
"...But that's impossible. Palpatine is dead. He's been dead."
"I know. It was his ghost."
After a long period of silence, Incendus apologized.
"There is really no need to be sorry. An acolyte against a Sith Lord-"
"But this was a dead Sith Lord."
"Even so, he was obviously still very powerful. And we got the chalice back. It can be prepared, and it's poweres restored, so this was a mission accomplished. I'll let you rest up here." Zakath then exited the room. Andrel then entered the room, and Incendus could sense the hostility between his master and Zakath for a moment. Both Dark Jedi make a resentful glare at each other while passing. I can't wait to learn why my master and Zakath hate each other, Incendus thought to himself. Whatever it is, I will probably find it amusing.
"Are you okay Incendus?," asked Andrel.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for helping me find that chalice."
"What happened in that cave?" Andrel asked this as though nothing else was important, as though it was a life or death matter. And for some unknown, complicated reason, Incendus thought that it might be a life or death matter. He told Andrel everything, what had happened, what he didn't understand about it, what he enjoyed about it.For a moment, there was silence. The type of silence that annoyed someone who wanted answers, the type of silence that actually pierced your ears more than noise would. Then Andrel spoke once more.
"...Why would two Jedi war heroes come to your aid?" This seemed to be more strange to Andrel than the fact that Incendus had just battled the ghost of a Sith lord. "You are a dark Jedi. I wonder if they know what that chalice is capable of. Wait, do you even know what it's capable of?"
Incendus shook his head.
"If somebody were to drink from this chalice, their power in the force would multiply. The only problem is that the amount that their power would multiply varies. It's unstable, unsafe. That's why it was locked away. Anyway, you need to rest. Bye."
"Bye."
Incendus sat there, thinking of what he had seen. Why were Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker there?. Incendus pondered upon this series of events until he reached Selen.
Curiosity
After his recovery, Incendus felt the urge to ask his master about Zakath. Incendus was friends with Zakath, but he had sensed the hostility between Zakath and his master on The Shadow. This made him anxious to know what was going on between the two. So one day, out of the blue, Incendus asked Andrel about him.
"Well...Me and him had a fight in a tournament," said Andrel. "We fought, and we ended up taunting each other a lot. That then resulted in the battle heating up, and me suffering a head injury from being slammed up against a TIE Interceptor. He won the battle, and since then we've been kinda resentful towards each other."
"So, basically you both got in a fight, made each other mad, injured each other, and now hate each other," said Incendus.
Andrel nodded, grinning at how simple Incendus had made it seem. "Something like that."
That night, Incendus spent some time looking through the ACC holo-records, and found this fight. He decided to whatch the video, and was amazed at what he saw.
"I have got to qualify for ACC sometime," he muttered to himself. "I also should have gotten some popcorn before I started this video." He kept on replaying the momet when Zakath injured Andrel's head. "I can see why Andrel hates him so much. That crap looked like it hurt." Then he whatched Andrel injure Zakath. "That looked like it hurt really bad. I can't wait to do ACC fights. It looks like I'm really missing out on some stuff."
Operation Rolling Thunder
In 35 ABY, Arcona was preparing to invade the natural satellite moon of Ebaq 9. This being Incendus' first system-wide invasion, Incendus' feelings towards the matter were a mix of nervous and excited. As a member of Qel-Droma, he was being led into battle by Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae, someone he had had a marginal amount of contact with, but enough to know that he was a good leader and respected member of the brotherhood. Incendus had read about the battle that took place here seven years ago between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Republic, and how the ailing Admiral Gial Ackbar had led the Republic to a victory.
"So now this is a fight between Arcona and the Chiss," he muttered to himself. "From what I hear, Soulfire is leading the attack, followed by Galeres and Arcona. This'll give me good experience I guess, but I was anticipating a Jedi War for me to prove myself. I still don't feel comfortable here and don't think I will until others have seen my prowess in battle, and I have become respected by others. I guess this little operation will have to do."
The word "little" was a big understatement.
