Character History
Childhood
3 ABY - 16 ABY
On a stormy day in the year of 3 ABY, a baby boy was born to the royal family in the Enriton system. The boy was named Dismal Visutor. The father was Saudu Visutor, and he was Count of the Enriton System. He was a man in his early thirties, yet his hair was already starting to turn slightly white. He was the third Count of Enriton, and was appointed at a time of darkness. The system was poor, and only a very loose affiliation between the planets was present. Enriton wasn’t even a part of the Galactic Empire. Saudu slowly built up the system into the semi-utopia that it became when his son was born.
The mother, was named Siala Visutor, was the faithful wife to Saudu. She was more of a peaceful human. Siala stayed in the palace, assisting the maids in housework, stuff of that nature. She also did light paperwork, as she was Executive President in charge of the Royal Banking Service, or RBS. Life was good for the couple. They lived a life of luxury, and they had their first and only child.
Dismal lived a normal infancy and early childhood. As he became older, he started to miss a male figure in his life. Saudu was almost always away to the other planets in the system, and on the rare occasions he was on the core planet, he was almost always away on business trips to random headquarters of organizations and businesses. What time he spent with his wife and son, was good though. Dismal enjoyed going to the operas and shows, or just playing swoopball with his father. However, Dismal made friends with a butler that lived in the servants quarters of the Royal Palace, named Ric Valen. Ric became a father figure for Dismal, whose only influence was his mother.
When Dismal turned ten years of age, he became interested in piloting and the art of combat. Since the royal family was wealthy, the best pilots and weaponry experts in Enriton or neighboring systems. By the age of twelve, the young boy was an expert pilot and a brilliant combatant and strategist. In 16 ABY, when Dismal was 13, a Jedi Knight landed in a hangar bay in Illusia, where Count Saudu was staying at the time. He was flying a beat up Eta-2 Class Fighter. He was bargaining for a trade, and stumbled upon Saudu. The Count bought it off of the Jedi for 40, 000 credits, and directions to the local Kuat Drive Yards plant. Saudu had the Enriton Engineering Corps repair it to almost like new, and gave it to Dismal when he got to see him. That was the happiest day of Dismal’s life. He named it The Gamerunner, and started to modify it to make it his own, perfect starship.
Teen Years
16 ABY - 21 ABY
Dismal was now 13. His father was around more as he focused more on his Senatorial and Executive duties now. This happiness was short lived as something terrible was to happen.
Dismal and Siala were out to a concert to see The Twi’Lek Sisters, a local band. Saudu had stayed home to finish looking over some Bills and Acts of the Senate. When the mother and son came home, they found a terrible sight. Saudu was hunched at his desk, his eyes bulged and his tongue out. A canister containing neuro poison was found cracked on the floor. Dismal and Siala cried immediately. They took appropriate time to grieve, but the need for a new leader quickly arose. The Senate had been handing things on their own for one month, but it is human nature to have a leader. Dismal decided to run, even though he was at a young and critical age. He wanted to uphold his family’s birthright.
Dismal rallied the system for a month, and he had excellent ideas, but the citizens did not feel comfortable leaving their and their home system’s fate in the hands of a teenager. Election day came swiftly, and the results were not pleasing for the royal family. Saudu’s Commander-In-Chief of the Armies had also run for election. He won, as he seemed kind and benevolent as a man, but stern and disciplined as an army general. He won the election by a landslide. He ruled Enriton with an iron fist, his true side showing. Saito took everything of Saito’s, including the Royal Palace and even his wife. Dismal, disgusted with the ways of the man who was once his father’s right hand, exiled himself into the dense forest of the core planet.
The young teenager built himself a shack in one of the giant redwood tree. He lived with the bare necessities for about a year. A euphoria happened nearly every day in his little shanty. Whenever he felt extreme emotions, he noticed unusual things happening. A tree branch breaking and falling, chairs flying through the air, et cetera. The fourteen year old decided that Enriton contained too many bad memories and unusual happenings, so he left.
He hopped in The Gamerunner , which was one thing he happened to keep, and exited the atmosphere of his home system. He desired a simple life, so instructed his Astromech droid, R2-A2, to set the autopilot for the farming planet of Anobis. This job, farming spice, offered a steady income, so Dismal bought an acre of land with the credits he had saved. He farmed for many years.
An Adult
25 ABY
Dismal took rare trips to the city, on which he always dined in Retre’s Diner. One trip, the droid waitress had brought him the wrong food. He got angry, and knocked over his soup and completely dismantled the droid. Afterward, realizing what he had done, rushed out. Dismal was stopped by a cloaked figure. They exchanged a quick word.
“I saw what you did in there,” the smooth voice of the man said.
“I don’t know what happened or came over me,” Dismal replied nervously.
“It’s okay, it happens to people who have a high midichlorian count, or who are Force Sensitive,” the robed man said.
“So, you mean I’m a Jedi?” the 23 year old replied.
“Yes, now, if you will come with me,” the figure said.
Dismal took the man to his home. The man got in his own starship, which Dismal remembered from his studies was a TIE Fighter. Dismal climbed in The Gamerunner and followed the man. Dismal’s life was changed forever.
Shadow Academy
25 ABY
The pair of men landed in a hangar bay on the planet called Lyspair. Dismal was enrolled in the halls of the Shadow Academy, the training center for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He passed all of his exams with flying colors. He also met a friend, whom he would keep friendship with throughout all of his Dark Brotherhood career. His name was Laigerick Sithelhood, a young and cocky Corellian. Finally, the day came when the Initiates would be promoted to Apprentices, and be assigned a clan. Laigerick was assigned House Tridens of Clan Tarentum. Dismal was assigned to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. Laigerick spent a few days there, but then requested a transfer to Clan Plagueis. Their friendship remains even today.
Journeyman of Plagueis
25 ABY - 26 ABY
Dismal was placed into the care of House Exar Kun’s Envoy, Jaysen Erdon, for care. He quickly rose through the lower echelon of Journeymen ranks, and left Erdon’s care. When he was promoted to the rank of Protector, the Krath Archpriest Scorpius approached him, and extended an offer for him to become his student. Dismal graciously accepted the offer, and the pair have worked very hard. They have accomplished great tasks together, such as: Assassinating Morga the Hutt, investigating a wreck in the jungles of Decaria, killing rogue Jedi, et cetera. Today, the pair are working towards the goal of Dismal achieving Dark Jedi Knight.
Knighting Ceremony
26 ABY
Dismal stood in his office. Ever since his appointment to Aedile of House Exar Kun, he spent most of his time in his office in Diadem Fortress. Usually looking over mounds of paperwork or meditating on a mat in the floor. However, today was not the usual day. Today, Hunter Dismal Visutor al’Tor was preparing for his Knighting Ceremony. He was sporting traditional Jedi Hunter robes, with a diagonal sash going down where all of his merit medals lay. The Sith had just finished meditating, to clear his mind. Today, his biggest dream since joining the Shadow Academy was being fulfilled. Dismal’s concentration on his appearance was interrupted by the voice of Aabsdu, Plagueis Consul, over the loudspeaker.
“Greetings, Members of House Exar Kun. Please report to the Entrance Hall of Castle Diadem. Repeat, please report to the Entrance Hall, all Kunian Dark Jedi.”
A grin crept across Dismal’s face. The hologram projector on his desk beeped, and a holographic image of Aabsdu appeared.
“Dismal, everyone’s in and seated in chairs stationed in the Entrance Hall. We’re waiting for you,” the Consul boomed.
“On my way, Consul Dupar,” Dismal said bowing. The two exchanged a quick goodbye, and the communication ended. The Sith Hunter took a deep breath, and headed out the door.

The large, onyx doors opened, scraping on the stone floor. Dismal saw on both sides of the hall former Consuls and Proconsuls of Clan Exar Kun. Beside the bronze statues, chairs formed two rows; one on each side. There was one aisle in the middle, on which Dismal was supposed to walk to the Summit’s table at the end. Seated in the center was Aabsdu, Consul. Seated to the left of him was Plagueis Proconsul, Orzon. To the right, former Quaestor of House Exar Kun and Dismal’s master, the Krath Archpriest Scorpius sat. The only light providing visibility were torches in the hands of all the bronze Consuls. In the front row, Ky Terrak, current Exar Kun Quaestor, sat passively. A dark tone started to play, as Exar Kun’s only battle team leader, Laigerick Sithelhood, played an organ tucked to the side of the table. The Hunter started his descent, down the magnificently decorated aisle.
As Dismal reached the Summit’s table, Aabsdu stood.
“Greetings, Plagueians. Today, we are here to celebrate a new Knight of Plagueis. Hunter Dismal Visutor al’Tor has completed numerous missions and Summit work to the best of his ability, and after discussions with all Summit, we award him the rank of Knight. Before I ramble on, I will give the floor to Scorpius, Dismal’s master.”
With his cue, Scorpius stood, his black cloak swaying as he walked over to face the now kneeling Dismal. The Archpriest’s silver eyes glinted in the dim light as he started to speak.
“I, Archpriest Scorpius, master of Dismal Visutor al’Tor, am very proud of my student. He has completed numerous missions, including assassinating Morga the Hutt, who offered a trap alliance with Plagueis, investigating a wreck of a ship in the dangerous Decarian Jungles with me, and constructing his own lightsaber on the planet of Ruusan. As Sith Commander of the Exar’s Shadow squadron, he has instilled activity in the team, and accompanied them on numerous missions, the biggest of which being investigating the theft of an important book stolen from the Dark Vault. I watched as he was promoted to the position of Aedile, and he has started to lead Exar Kun to the best of his ability. He has also earned many medals for service to Clan Plagueis and House Exar Kun, even earning an Anteian Cross, and two Dark Crosses. It is with great pleasure that I promote my student to the coveted rank of Dark Jedi Knight,” Scorpius said. He reached into the folds of his robes, and pulled out a metal tube. When Dismal saw it, he realized it was the lightsaber he had built in a cave on Ruusan. “Take it, my apprentice, you have earned the right to carry it.”
The Sith Journeyman got up from his knee, and took the hilt from the Archpriest.
“Thank you, Master,” Dismal said, bowing. All the members of House Exar Kun and the Summit members began to applaud, the noise echoing through the large hall, and a grin crept across the traditionally robed Dismal, and his master.
