Personal Information
The Creator of the Cult
Name: Ayn Khollo
Born: Approx 860 years BBY
Disappeared from records: 286 BBY
Planet of Origin: Anzat
From what little public records that can be found on this despicable murderer, it is speculated that he hailed from Anzat. Following Ayn’s maturing of years on that planet, the Force Sensitive made his way out into the galaxy, experiencing a wealth of different pleasures and feasting on many multitudes of species. But like many of the infamous Anzati in public knowledge, Khollo gained a taste for Force Users. Of course, having the advantage of being Force Sensitive himself, the devious vampiric beast could ensnare weak-willed Force Users, as well as what one would describe as brainwashing the idiotic people he decided to spare to help him in capturing the stronger Force Users. Nicknamed “The Beast” in some cultures, while known to the superstitious tribesmen of Perdoccus IV as “Death Bringer” (that particular sobriquet lead to the naming of his cultists.) The Anzat eventually disappeared from public knowledge in 286 BBY. Not known is his d.o.d. Who knows if this enigmatic monster is really dead?
The Current Master of the Death Bringers
The One Who Is The One
Name: The One Who Is The One
Born: Unknown
Planet of Origin: Unknown
Species: Barabel
His origins unknown, the only information uncovered on the background of this vicious and depraved individual is that he gained control of the cult by disposing of the former Master around 22 ABY. The Barabel consumed his predecessor by poisoning her. The poison, a strong narcotic, left her defenceless to his hunger. The Master wears deep red robes, dyed with the blood of his victims. That particular vice means that his presence is always announced with a disgusting smell of death.
The One Who Is The One is the Barabel’s particular name for himself as Master of the Cult. His predecessor was a H’nemthe named Shaiyusha.
The Death Bringer’s Ship
The vessel is a retired Republic Dreadnought warship. Designed to appear ramshackle and ill-maintained, the aptly named Devourer, is, despite appearances, a powerful, yet outdated vessel. However, the cult makes use of the countless vessels ensnared by them over the years, ranging from small smuggler frigates to even a Victory class Star Destroyer.

Appearance of members
Members range from primitive debased parodies clothed in rags, (these seem to be the more long standing members) to more recent converts treading the path of capricious delight. Who appear almost normal in appearance. The cannibalistic cultists file their teeth into sharp points, allowing them to tear flesh easily. They are devious, bloodthirsty and utterly fearless. Often overpowering their victims by swamping them in bodies regardless of the injuries taken. Such bloodthirsty actions are both their greatest weapon and their downfall.
History and Methodology
Gathered by Ayn Khollo to assist him in capturing Force Users, over time his “disciples” began to emulate their Master. Consuming the dead flesh of the Force Users left over from Ayn’s consumption of their soup. A well developed cult that thrives in secrecy, it has been 300 years since the Anzat has been seen, and his followers have become almost primitive in their behaviour. They use enslaved Force Users to find others of their kind, ones which are broken through torture and maiming. (After all, through modern medicine, a person can survive the loss of their limbs.) These Force Users track down others of their kind, their presence calling out for release as they do. This causes unwary and do-gooders Force Users into close contact with the cultists.
Hoping by consuming the flesh of Force Users, they become closer to their “Master”, the great Ayn Khollo. The poor unfortunate, battered and beaten into submission is dragged forcibly before the The One Who Is The One. (TOWITO) Who takes great pleasure and pride in carving up the victim slowly, forcing them to undergo excruciating pain while fully conscious. They believe that only though this method can they become close to their master. For the Anzati took great pains to instil fear and terror within his prey. TOWITO follows on from this.
However, when their hunger overwhelms them, the Death Bringers consume their victims alive, ripping flesh off them and cramming it into their gaping maws. They believe that by consuming the flesh of a F.U. (Force User) they gain a measure of the person’s strength and power. Ironically, while this seems absurd in a scientific sense, their blind belief fuels the cultists to strive through the pain that a normal mortal would break down at. It also makes them stronger, more tenacious and more inclined to ignore injuries in their attempt to feed.
While consuming the flesh of Force Users is a considerable driving force, the members also engage in panoply of decadent and depraved acts. Strangely, the Yuuzhan Vong war increased membership within the cult. Drawing in the disaffected victims of Vongese aggression. Scarred by what they had experienced and pushed beyond sanity because of it, they became members. Maybe it was because the Vong had awakened a terrible primeval urge for murder and death that the cult had nurtured, or maybe they were brainwashed and desensitised, no one knows. But one thing we do know for sure is that they hunger…..
Goals
Their goal is only one thing. To consume…
Emerging from the aftermath of the Vong war, the Death Bringers plunged into the sector, coming across a small cruiser that was fooled into assisting a false S.O.S. sent by the Devourer. Discovering several apprentices on their way to the Dajorra system from the Shadow Academy, accompanied by a Sith Warrior. He proved more robust than the Journeymen, who were “thrown to the lions.” The Sith, questioned by TOWITO, held out as long as he could before succumbing to his injuries. His mind breaking down and revealing all the secrets he knew about the Brotherhood. Hearing about a great enclave of Force Users in nearby Dajorra. Closer than any of the other systems given up by the now deceased warrior, TOWITO decided to stalk their prey there and gauge the strength of Arcona, having heard of the downsizing of the Clans to Houses. The Master had concluded that the cult would be powerful enough to prey on these delicious morsels of flesh and blood to become closer with the great “Death Bringer”.
