Character History
The Escape!
Destavol G Xyler was not always a Jedi, nor was he always a Prince. His origins are now vastly unknown, other than mentions of him in clan records and by word of mouth. This was mostly due to Destavol destroying his records during he flee from House Taldryan to join House Odan-Urr. The escape was daring, and nearly costed him his life but still the badly wounded Destavol managed to escape to the FRG Ordo Bobara where he was treated and rushed to New Tython for extensive treatment. The total recovery of Destavol from the wounds inflicted on him from not only physical but also in the force, took nearly eight months all together. A dark jedi by the name of Barrin had managed to follow Destavol that day, and gained control of a scroll which held knowledge of a legendary ability in the force called Dark Wound. This would not be the only time Destavol faced the attack, he would again face it in the 10th GJW. The Dark Wound attacked both the Jedi's health like a toxin, but also ate away at the midiclorins in the Jedi's body. Weaker Jedi would either die, or at the least permenantly lose their abilities in the force. Fortunantly Destavol was able to recover from the Dark Wound inflicted on him by relearning the force step by step as a Jedi. This was a rather humiliating process for Destavol, as he was forced to work his way up the Jedi ranks once again. This knowledge is rarely known due to the speed Destavol recovered in the force, and the speed he accomplished this training. It was very close to the amount of time it took Kyle Katarn to relearn the ways of the Jedi.
The Jedi Learner
Once he had recovered from his complications Destavol was assigned to three masters to give him an express speed training. These three were Ji, Quejo, and Kaira. Ji was the Quaestor of the House, and eager to see Destavol recover to his full form as a Jedi thus he was the one who taught Destavol in the ways and traditions of the Jedi. Quejo was of course his brother, and mostly helped him with his combat techniques. Kaira was his alchemy instructor and mission coordinator, and would eventually become his lover and wife. The relationship of Destavol and Kaira remained secret to the entire House for quite some time, this allowed the two to see each other more frequently with their ties as Master and Student. Destavol did not spend all the much time in the rank of Jedi Learner, in fact he was only a learner for 18 days. Among his accomplishments as a Jedi Learner was assisting create a medicine which saved the life of a fellow Jedi Learner who was bitten by a poisonous spider in the wilderness. Destavol had to locate the spider, bring it back and surgically extract the poison from it with Kaira. Due to this act of heroism, Destavol was promoted by Ji to the rank of Jedi Page.
The Jedi Page
Time as a Jedi Page seemed to be the most learning for Destavol, it was the time he spent most with Ji. While Destavol already had previous knowledge in the fields of alchemy, and lightsaber combat, he was new to the idea of being a Jedi and knew very little about their ways and their history. He often impressed Ji with taking it into his own hands to study endlessly at the Jedi library, trying to discover as much as he could about what he was, and who was before him. Destavol had all the makings of possibly becoming the House Oracle one day but this is a feat he has yet to complete. Destavol was still assigned missions during this time of learning, in fact the missions became more challenging. Destavol had to admit that the missions of a Jedi Page were as difficult as the missions of a Dark Jedi Knight, simply because it was not as easy as taking your targets head. Destavol was assigned a lot of tracking missions, in which he hunted down escaped and on the run criminals for the house but there were two missions of special note. The first was a mission on New Tython in which a Dark Force user was sniffed out of a Harakoa tribe. Destavol was credited for not only picking up on the leads, but also finding and unfortunantly having to eliminate the dark jedi. The House believed it to be a House Palpatinae spy, but no actual evidence could confirm. The second mission was a mission on Pok Ona Twelve, an astroid mining colony. A murder was suspected onboard and House Odan-Urr sent Destavol to investigate it. The young Page was able to find leads which tracked out the murder, but the story ended up with a twist. He was not just killing random people, but specific targets selected by the Dark Jedi Destavol had sniffed out a month prior. This lead to a full blown invetigation that no longer had anything to do with Destavol. For his actions during his trials as a Page, Ji granted Destavol the rank of Jedi Knight and moved him back into the full swing of things.
The Jedi Knight
Destavol had proven himself to Ji, and to the House to be a proficient Jedi, and a fierce combatant. For this Ji not only promoted him to Jedi Knight but also gave Destavol command of his own team, this team became known as O.S.T.A.D. Destavol only commanded over OSTAD for a short time before having to step down. During his tenure in OSTAD however he had lead his team to some of their first major victories. A successful seizure of a FRG was among the highest of their first accomplishments. The House had been tracking a massive shipment of illegal spice being transporting through Menat Ombo. The team followed it off planet to a FRG called "The Divinity"
DJB Facts
Apprentice's of Aticus "Orian" Jade
Over Aticus's service with the Dark Brotherhood, he has trained four Dark Jedi. Two of which never made it past the rank of Novice and were slayed by Aticus for failure and who's names are not even worth mentioning here. The other two are noted below.
Guardian Mordaki of the Sith Order, Wanderer of the Rogues
Mordaki was recruited to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood by Aticus around 23ABY. Mordaki, like Aticus, was a half blood as well though he was not of the Orianic Tribe. He served as Aticus's apprentice until roughly 24-25 ABY when he vanished from the Dark Brotherhood forever.
Jedi Hunter Tiberius Di Cloud of the Sith Order, Member of House Revan
Tiberius is the current apprentice to Aticus. Though Aticus is not Tiberius's original master, any force sensitive that stands near the two can easily feel the bond between them both. It is one of the rare cases where the force wills an apprentice to a master. Currently both Dark Jedi worth together as members of House Revan.
