- "A broken mirror is still a mirror, as fractured as it may seem to be."
- ―Azler Wilder
Jeax Zirv, previously known as Angelo Delacroix, currently known as Azler Wilder, is a Krath Priest with ties to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, his former clan, Clan Satal Keto, and is currently a member of Clan Vizsla.
Physical Description
A lithe man, Azler does not cut a very imposing figure upon first glance. His long silver hair, blue-gray eyes and lightly tanned skin give only faint clues to his partial Echani heritage, though his gaze is often hidden behind crimson-colored glasses. Marking his cheeks are two black tattoos of nested triangles. A scar runs from the left side of his neck, just above his collarbone, to the bottom of his left earlobe. Though it has been made near-perfectly indistinguishable, his left ear is a cybernetic that can be removed harmlessly if done correctly. Apparently having taken his rank-given title of 'Priest' to heart, he is most often seen wearing clothing of black and white coloration, though splashes of silver, purple, and/or red are not uncommon on him.
Personality and traits
Azler possesses a fairly personable attitude, able to get along with most people fairly well upon meeting. He may not be quickest friend-maker, but he rarely makes enemies. While he often jests and teases others often, apparently clearly willing to appear a fool on occasion, he keeps a tactical mindset most times - willfully acting in such ways as to keep other's impressions of him not entirely accurate and prone to underestimations.
Character History
Circumstances of Birth and Jedi Upbringing as Jeax Zirv
A child created of twisted hate and lust, Jeax was born to a powerful Echani and Jedi Sage Master when she was attacked by an unknown Sith warrior after losing to him in a battle. After many intense debates, it was decided that the child would be allowed to be born and live his life free to choose his own path, but the Mother refused to raise him, instead opting to give him up immediately after birth.
As he grew up, his abilities with the Force quickly began to show themselves, especially during his Echani combat training, but he was often held back due to the fears of those who knew of the orphan’s secret origins. Despite Jeax’s talents and abilities, no one would take him on as a Padawan due to the blood that flowed through his veins tainting their opinions of him. It wasn’t until after he had reached the age of 12 that someone finally took him in, secretly a Jedi Master. Officially claimed as a Padawan, the man took to immediately teaching him the Jedi ways in hopes to keep the boy sided with the Light and avoid the darkness that could swallow him.
Years went by, the child proving himself time and time again as his training pushed his mind and body, honing his skills with the Force and expanding his knowledge. After much meditation on the boy's future, the Master revealed to Jeax that he was a former Jedi Shadow, a warrior trained to hunt down and destroy anything relating to the Dark Side, and he began to train the boy to follow in his footsteps, another method of trying to keep him on the 'right' path.
The pair traversed the universe, Jeax’s skills were honed as various obstacles were overcome 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 Jeax was far worse.
Truths Revealed and Sith Learnings
Around the age of 17, following the trail of a Sith Inquisitor, the pair instead came upon a Sith Marauder. Sensing the superior skill of the warrior, Jeax 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 sole choice that laid before them, Jeax’s Master attempted to take the Sith on by himself, using the Force to prevent Jeax from engaging and dooming him to being unable to do anything but sit and watch. While the two at first were evenly matched, the Marauder soon showed his true abilities with the saber, overtaking his Master, the difference in Force becoming almost obsolete with the warrior’s incredible speed and strength. As the battle quickly became too overwhelming, Jeax was finally able to move and rushed in to try to help his Master, but was knocked unconscious just as he reached the pair, his last sight that of the crimson saber burning through his Master’s chest.
Unbeknownst to Jeax, 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 he discovered the child’s identity. Realizing the boy’s usefulness, the Sith began to heighten emotions within the Padawan’s mind, to allow easier manipulations of him. Soon enough, Jeax awoke to the Marauder standing over him; his Master’s Lightsaber, as well as his own, attached to the Sith’s belt. While the Marauder made no attempt to keep the Padawan there, Jeax 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 something new within him compelled him.
The Sith Marauder revealed to the Jedi Padawan that he was in fact his Father, telling him the circumstances of his conception, the likes of which had been hidden from Jeax 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 for something that wasn't his own fault, but because they didn’t trust in him enough to tell the truth.
As an offer of proof for his words, the Marauder allowed Jeax to send a distress call that would reach his Mother and within days, she arrived at the planet to find the two and after another display of his Father's skills, much to Jeax’s dismay, the truth finally came out. Hate, sorrow, betrayal, it all built up within him until he lost his mind, a terrible rage taking over him and knocking him unconscious with its overwhelming chaos, eventually waking to find his Mother’s corpse a few feet away. Noting her Saber added to his Father's belt and crying softly, 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 good 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 Jeax’s Mother for her Force power, deciding, hoping, that somehow the fates would grant him a child with intense strength in the Force and in the Saber both. It was the Marauder's hope to partner with his own son in a bid for more power, and so Jeax delved into the powers of the Dark Side, opening his mind to more and more aspects of the Force, soon beginning to learn the darker applications of it; he even bled his own saber's crystal.
As a single yet incredibly long year went by, the former Jedi Padawan grew into a powerful Sith Warrior, but this new path did not sit right with him, neither the ways of the Sith nor of the Jedi, and following the man who had killed his Mother as well as as Master, the one individual who truly believed in him, Jeax attempted to leave his Father to begin his own research and studies, but his Father, surprised and hateful at the thought of his son turning his back on him filled him with anger, forcing the two into combat. The battle was hard and long, for while Jeax had a larger variety of techniques and abilities, his Father was much more proficient after his many, many years as a Marauder. Soon, Jeax began to tire, his strength waning against his parent’s, but the battle was decided with the observation of one detail. Noting the Lightsaber of his Master still within his Father’s belt, Jeax used the Force to activate it, the blade slicing through the warrior’s side and cutting off his right arm, greatly harming the Marauder and distracting him, though at the cost of the Apprentice's left ear. This not only granted Jeax the chance he needed to escape his Father and save his life, but, unbeknownst to him, just barely avoided keeping with the Sith ways of slaying a Master you intend to surpass.
Fleeing his Father, but not returning to the Jedi for fear of what punishment would be in store for him, Jeax started his journey as a Gray Jedi, walking down the middle path, growing stronger as the weeks and months passed, expanding his knowledge and talents. Jeax Zirv toured the universe, learning of the path of Twilight, of the compromise between Light and Dark.
Eventually, whispers reached him of a similar minded group.
Time in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood; Satal Keto to Plagueis to Arcona
Upon joining the Dark Brotherhood and becoming acquainted with various members and smaller sects within it, Jeax's powers grew and his training furthered. While he believed that being involved with Dark Jedi would prove to be a solid middle ground between Jedi and Sith, the truth that he was so blind to was much less kind. Roaming through the universe under the banners of Satal Keto, the boy who held hopes of peace was slowly morphed into a man of conquest. Proving himself to be a formidable warrior, even under the designations of "Scholar" and "Priest", and a solid leader, Zirv took his brethren and led them to numerous victories through sheer tenacity and undying ambition.
His time spent in the Brotherhood earned him much beyond the simple medals and awards that he acquired with a surprising speed, he earned himself many companions that he would work with and superiors who would look to him for great victories in times of combat. Within weeks of joining and getting sent to the front lines Clan battle within Satal Keto, he found himself in league with Selket, a great warrior and his direct superior, amidst the bloody arenas that their leaders had designed for them, earning the two of them special recognition above the rest, and affirming a strong relationship between them as they became Master and Apprentice.
Further down the line, achieving higher and higher ranks within the Brotherhood, Jeax began to make a name for himself as he was sent on mission after mission to prove the superiority of the Clan, each adding names to his growing list of victims, and none aiding to help the man in realizing what he was becoming. Regarded as the "Battle Priest" by Dalthid, the leader of not only his clan, but of the Antei Combat Center that held the official battle arenas of the Brotherhood, Jeax proved his combat prowess and unstoppable eagerness as he fought battle after battle against all who would accept his challenge, including not only Dalthid himself, but at one time, the very Grand Master and leader of the entire Dark Jedi Brotherhood at the time, Jac Cotelin.
Among many that would follow Zirv, and others that would be downright dragged along by him, he would find himself surrounded by four others whom he would call his blood brothers; Daemon Syn, Esca Teiko, Mako Henymory, and Seru Kaienn. With these men by his side, working together under the name "Zinor", the warrior began to achieve even greater strength and power.
Unfortunately, the tides of power sway in ways that cannot be stopped by a single man, and, against his best attempts to prevent it, his beloved Satal Keto was eventually disbanded, the Dark Jedi being assimilated to other clans and spread out. Though he remained in touch with his brethren and a few others, he found himself within untouched territory of the new Clan Plagueis, formed from the remains of Satal Keto and their rival, Clan Exar Kun.
While his previous energy and tenacity was still abound, the friction of the two forces grounded his attempts of pushing for more power. Regardless, the man continued striving, fighting for every inch he could get in the world, until it was eventually noticed by a new ally of his, Ethran Sayre Isradia. Wanting to add the man's skill and drive, as well as his potential, to their own forces, Ethran brought him before the leader of the Imperial House Isradia, Jonaleth Isradia. Sensing that Zirv could prove an assert to his family, Jonaleth tested the Krath's determination and ability for many months, pushing him beyond his limit, even after he had broken, and all the while, attempted to hasten his descent into the darkness.
What happened with Isradia is only known to its own members, but when Jeax returned to the Brotherhood, it was with far more power but without the Isradia namesake. Soon enough, the man also departed from Plagueis and found himself within Clan Arcona, though this too only lasted a short time.
Introspection and the short life of Angelo Delacroix
As Jeax found himself without stable ground, his attempts to fit in with Plageuis, Isradia, and Arcona proving fruitless, he began to question his next steps, only to come to a realization that his current path in life had become far more akin to what his Father had planned than he had realized before. Faced with this horror, the man's resolve was broken and he began to wander aimlessly until he met a man by the name of Tobias Delacroix and his wife Miracle - a pair of Jedi from the nearly created Clan Odan-Urr. Speaking with the two reminded the man of his younger days and feeling the call of the Light, he joined the pair as well as their clan, taking on a new name Angelo Delacroix in the hopes of a fresh start.
His time with the pair, alongside their daughter, was short lived, but remarkable for what it was. Peace and the smallest sense of serenity once again began to bloom within the Krath's mind for the first time in years. Picking up where he had left off, he dove into practice and use of the Light Side with abandon, eager to try a different method of gaining power - this time, to help people.
In an attempt to continue on as if nothing had happened, he returned to Arcona once more where he joined the Battleteam Nighthawk and made an ally of Arcia Cortel and Elequin Erinos during his short stint aboard their spacecraft. While this helped him keep busy, it could not bury the memories, and soon enough, the Echani hybrid left the Brotherhood altogether, taking the young girl with him to the stars beyond in hopes of something new once again.
Distancing from the Brotherhood as Azler Wilder
Embracing a new life wasn't easy, and credits were needed for any kind of life to sustain itself, eventually calling the Krath to the one lifestyle that his skills lent themselves to quite well - the life of a bounty hunter and mercenary.
Return to the Brotherhood; Clan Vizsla
One day, the same as most, Azler felt a familiar pull from the Force. Reaching out, he was able to make contact with an old friend of his named Mako Henymory. Now a leading member of the new Mandalorian Clan Vizsla, Mako had need of reliable and powerful allies and had decided to reach out to the Krath.
Azler's first instincts were to ignore the call and stay on his current path, but guilt and rage within him still held a strong hold. The two he had let die were still dead, the one he held responsible was still out there, his Father an ever-looming threat - if he wished to fix these things in the ways he wished to, he needed more power.
So with gritted teeth, the Echani alerted his 'crew' of their next destination and their goals upon arrival.
