Template:Krath charinfo
Mal'ari'carun is a Krath Priest and member of House Ektrosis of Taldryan. More commonly known by his Core Name, Alaric, he has long served the Brotherhood. Though his journeys have often taken him further from the Brotherhood, and for longer periods of time, than he would have liked, he continues to remain faithful to his House and Clan. He has held several positions in the Dark Brotherhood, from Magistrate to Quaestor to Dark Councilor (as the Combat Master was considered at the time). At the moment, however, he is content simply to enjoy time spent with his House and Clan.

Character Information
Physical Appearance
Standing two meters tall, his ninetry kilogram frame seems slight at first, until one glimpses the hard cords of muscle straining beneath his loose robes. Blue-black hair casacades down his back, ending just below his shoulder blades and framing a face that is all hard planes and angles. Deep-set red eyes, glowing ever so slightly, drink in the world around him. While his face remains impassive, even in the most brutal combat or horrendous actions, the crimson glow of his eyes flare to novas at hte slightest agitation, revealing inner demons he must constantly fight to suppress.
Standard robes in a deep blue, covered by a plain black cloak, adorn his lithe frame. They make no concession to fashion, despite their appearance to the contrary. The raised collar ridge to the right of his neck is actually heavilly armored to stop any melee weapon and houses a voice-activated comlink. Linkewise, the black boots encasing his feet are covered with arcane cobalt symbols. appearing aesthetic in nature, they actually serve to disguise the tritanium plates embeded int he toes, ball and heel of each boot. A faint metallic glint comes from both sleeves, but the origin thereof remains unknown. COmpleting the outfit, a gun belt rests low on his hips, supporting sheaths for his Leorals and a clip at his back for his lightsaber.
Weapons
- Lightsaber
A normal lightsaber, the handle is straight and bears an odd-looking cross guard which seems more at home on a vibrosword than the weapon of a Dark Jedi. There is little special about it, but it holds extreme sentimental value for Mal'ari'carun, being the first and only saber he has carried.
- Tyrith'Sun
Coming Soon.
- Echani Knives
The Leorals are awarded through the Tri'law, or Trial by Fire, a secret right within House Nuruodo. The Tri'law tests the Selectees' physical and mental prowess in the most intense right of passage on Csilla. Millenia ago, a Chiss visited the Echani to learn of their ways. In exchange for Chiss technology and military techniques, they taught Nuruodo, as he was called, their manner of combat and gave him Echani Knives and armor has a gift for his teachings. It was their teachings, modified into a style now known as Carinor, which eventually led House Nuruodo to power among the Chiss.
On his way back to Csilla, he encountered a gravity well which had not been there on his outbound flight. He was pulled out of hyperspace to find an unknown planet directly in his path. Unable to avoid it, he crashed upon the lush globe. On planet, Nuruodo found that the only items which had survived were his armor and the vibroblades from the Echani knives (though the handles themselves were now worthless). Knowing he would have to fight for his survival, he fashioned crude handles from a tree branch and connected them to the blades.
For over a year he survived with nothing else, hunting for food and defending himself from terrible beasts. Eventually, he was discovered by the planet's inhabitants, a peaceful people who were able to repair his ship over time. Finally, after two years being stranded, he was able to return home. But he took part of the mysterious planet, called Zonoma Sekot by its inhabitants, with him. The handles had bonded at a submolecular level with the blades, and he found that they would alter shape to perfectly fit the hands of whoever held them. Not only were they alive but, as Mal'ari'carun discovered nearly 7000 years later, they were sentient as well.
- Blastaff
A cylinder 9 inches long, it is easily concealable beneath his cloak or within his sleeve. However, when the button on it is pressed the Blastaff, a weapon designed and built by Mal'ari'carun, extends to a lenth of 5 feet. As well as being useful as a Jo (very long sword/very short bo), one end has a concealed foot-long blade, while the other contains a micro-capacitor and, at the bush of a button, will discharge energy directly into any target it is touching (frying their central nervous system when used correctly).
- Body
Decades of study and training in many different forms of combat (Echani, Shadow Fist, Carinor, Knifist), and the development of his own style, known as Tyrith, have turned Mal'ari'carun's body into a weapon under his complete control. Able to move each muscle in his body individually, or to refrain from any movement for days at a time without using any sort of trance, Alaric utilizes his entire being to the detriment of his opponents.

Prime Edict
- It means only one thing, and everything: cut. Once committed to fight, cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resolutely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit. It is the balance of life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law by which a warrior lives. Or he dies.
