Angelo Delacroix is a Krath Priest with ties to Clan Arcona and his former clan, Clan Satal Keto. He is also an aspiring Bondsman with the Imperial House Isradia.
Character History
A child created of twisted hate and lust, Angelo was born to a powerful Sage Master when she was raped by a mysterious Sith warrior. After many intense debates by the Council, it was decided that the child would be allowed to be born and live his life free to choose his own path.
As he grew up, Angelo acted as a normal child, running and playing with others, but his abilities with the Force quickly began to show themselves and he was placed into the Academy along with some of his friends, much to the dismay of many Jedi who knew of the child’s secret.
Despite Angelo’s great talents and abilities, no one would take him on as a Padawan due to the blood that flowed through his veins. It wasn’t until after he had reached the age of 11 that someone finally took him on, a Jedi Master who hoped to keep the boy sided with the Light.
As years went by, the child proved himself time and time again as his training pushed his mind and body, honing his skills with the Force and expanding his knowledge until even those who were weary of him began to respect his forte. Building his own Lightsaber by the age of 13, Angelo began training heavily in the art of the saber now that he possessed a true blade. While he studied every discipline he could, he quickly found an excellent taste for Form II, Makashi, and the advanced Form IV, Ataru, noting them both for their speed and capabilities in combat.
As Angelo’s body, mind, and abilities grew, his Master requested the Jedi Council for his Knighthood Trial, but continuously he was denied. The Master understood the Council’s decision, but was disappointed nonetheless as he knew the boy to be worthy of the title. After much meditation, the Master took the Padawan with him on a mission for the first time, revealing to Angelo that his Master was indeed a Jedi Shadow, a warrior trained to hunt down and destroy anything relating to the Dark Side.
As the pair traversed the universe, Angelo’s skills were honed as obstacles built in their way, whether it was fighting a bounty hunter sent for them, gathering information, or having to hide and keep secret. His Master was impressed and proud of the way his Student was growing, but he felt weary, as even his own suspicions were tested as they came across Sith remnants, hopeful that his Padawan would not be tempted to the ways of the Dark Side.
What awaited Angelo was far worse.
Following the trail of a Sith around the age of 16, the pair came upon a Sith Marauder. Sensing the superior skill of the warrior, Angelo and his Master attempted to retreat, but before they could reach their ship, a detonator was set off, destroying their one means of escape. Realizing the one choice laid before them, Angelo’s Master attempted to take the Sith on by himself, forcing Angelo to stand back and watch. While the two at first were evenly matched, the Marauder soon showed his true abilities with the saber, overtaking his Master in seconds, the difference in Force becoming almost obsolete with the warrior’s speed and strength.
As the battle quickly became one-sided, Angelo rushed in to try and help his Master, but was knocked unconscious just as he reached the pair, his last sight that of the saber burning through his Master’s chest.
Unbeknownst to Angelo, as he laid upon the ground, the Marauder examined his mind, delving into it, determined to find out if he could use this Jedi to his own twisted advantage before killing him, when suddenly he discovered the child’s identity. Realizing the boy’s usefulness, the Sith began to implant memories and emotions into the Padawan’s mind, to allow easier manipulations of him.
Soon enough, Angelo awoke to the Marauder standing over him, his Master’s Lightsaber, as well as his own, attached to the Sith’s belt. While he made no attempt to keep the Padawan there, he realized that he was simply allowed to live and that he had no chance of escape, let alone winning in a fight. As the Sith began to talk, the Jedi listened, as if something compelled him to without his knowledge.
The Sith Marauder revealed to the Jedi Padawan that he was in fact his Father, telling him and admitting the circumstances of his conception, the likes of which had been hidden from Angelo his entire life. The final realization of why everything in his life had happened, his delayed choosing as a Padawan, the refusals for Knighthood trials, all of it hit him like a thunderstorm, invoking a deep anger and wrath within him for not only the fact that they treated him differently, but because they didn’t trust in him enough to tell the truth.
As an offer of proof for his words, the Marauder allowed Angelo to send a call for his Mother and within days, she arrived at the planet to find Angelo and the Marauder, and much to Angelo’s dismay, the truth finally came out. Hate, fear, betrayal, it all built up within him until he lost his mind, a terrible rage taking over him and knocking him unconscious, waking to find his Mother’s corpse a few feet away, the longest piece of the woman barely half a foot long. Picking up her Saber and crying softly, he turned to his Father, wondering what he was to do.
The two began to travel together and his Father began to teach him about the Sith, but far more importantly, the Krath Order and their great talents with the Force. While the Marauder did indeed possess a great amount of Force power, he knew in his heart of hearts that it was not in the Force where he should draw his strength, but his Blade. He had chosen Angelo’s Mother for her Force power, deciding and hoping that somehow the fates would grant him a child with intense strength in the Force and in the Saber.
Angelo delved into the powers of the Dark Side, opening his mind to more and more aspects of the Force, soon beginning to learn a new Saber style as well, that of Form VII, Juyo, as well as beginning to use Dual Sabers in combat, taking his Mother’s blade as his second.
As the years went by and Angelo turned 19, the former Jedi Padawan grew into a powerful Sith Warrior, but as he was instructed by his Father, the warrior found himself discouraged by the ways of the Sith, for while they were more open and free than many Jedi ways, they required far stronger emotions than he often felt.
Deciding that the ways of the Sith, and that of the Jedi, were not for him, Angelo attempted to leave his Father to begin his own research and studies, but his Father, surprised and hateful at the thought of his son, a Delacroix, turning his back on him filled him with anger, forcing the two into combat.
The battle was hard and long, for while Angelo had more techniques and abilities, his Father was much more proficient in his many, many years as a Marauder. Soon, Angelo began to tire, his strength waning against his parent’s, but the battle was decisive with the observation of one detail. Noting the Lightsaber of his Master still within his Father’s belt, Angelo used the Force to active it, the blade slicing through the warrior’s side and cutting off his arm, greatly harming the Marauder and distracting him, granting Angelo the chance he needed to decapitate his Father and save his life, unbeknownst to him, keeping with the Sith ways.
Taking the sabers for his own as reminders, Angelo started his journey as a Dark Jedi, walking down the middle path of Light and Shadow, growing stronger as the weeks and months passed, expanding his knowledge and talents. Angelo Delacroix tours the universe, teaching of the path of Twilight, of the compromise between Light and Dark.
