History
Birth and Growth
Kazarelth Talîsmarr was born in the planet of Omwat, to parents he never knew. He was born into a Noble family, and was raised by many hands. One of those hands was the Dark Side, which influenced him from an early age, as a result of which he was mostly an outsider in his own planet, as many of his own kind left him alone. This had a lasting impact upon the immature mind of the Omwati. The bond that many shared with their home, never influenced him. His greatest resentment was that his kind thought of the Empire as an enemy, when they were actually helping the Outer Rim Territories.
Family
He had been subjected to a mental experiment from an offshoot of Grand Moff Tarkin’s regimen, when he was very young. His intelligence, therefore expanded exponentially and continues to do so, though at the cost of his strength, and was thus touched by the Dark Side, at a very young age. He almost always studies and gathers knowledge, seeking the power over Learning and Wisdom. He also sought to find information about his unknown parents. From living relatives, he did sketch out a rough outline about his parents. Not satisfied with this, he researched through history and facts, and built up a possible history of his parents. He believes that his parents designed and engineered the Galaxy Gun. Yet, the truth remains a mystery.
The Arrival of the Jedi
After the death of Tarkin, the Jedi came to the planet of Omwat, with a portion of the Couruscanti Omwati. The Jedi had come there with the news of Tarkin’s death, and with an open hand of friendship. They also were told that children wishing to train as Jedi were welcome to their new Academy on Yavin IV.
Kazarelth did not wish to have anything to do with the Jedi. But, his Love succumbed to the lies of the Jedi, and left him for them. This incident tormented him, and he almost killed himself in his rage. But, a mysterious Wanderer helped him join the Brotherhood, where he found the answers he craved and turned his anger into a powerful ally.
The Brotherhood
Mentor
At 16 years of age, Kazarelth stepped inside the Halls of the Brotherhood, and was inducted as a Sith into Clan Tarentum, House Gladius.
He quickly rose through the ranks, and was transferred to the Battle Team The Praxeum
It was here that the Omwati’s basic training was given. He learnt the dominance that even a lowly Dark Jedi could have against the ordinary. Windos Helkin Bruth'Kothae played the part of an unexpectedly patient teacher, guiding the boy through the Brotherhood’s arcana.
His guide walked him through the basic tenets of Tarentum’s gift of necromancy. He gradually taught Kazarelth the simple elegance of the Keeper’s secrets.
Windos also noticed Kazarelth’s devotion to the knowledge collected over centuries in dusty volumes of books. He soon asked his young Protector, now a proud Krath, to assist the archives and libraries that the Battle Team possessed.
The Omwati’s untiring love for knowledge bade him to agree to Windos' request. As the Librarian of a certain library which many did not visit often, Kazarelth used to be engrossed in the ancient tomes. The very whiff of an old guardian of knowledge excited him as he plunged deep into the mysteries of the Darkness.
The Search and the Torment
The trials of the sword were not far away to the Protector. His Battle Team had been called away to assist the Shadow Academy’s investigation on a stolen book. Under Windos’ leadership the team along with their Quaestor and Aedile they soon overcame their enemies and successfully retrieved the old tome.
However, Kazarelth’s brush with an unimaginable Darkness left him slightly scarred. His torture at the hands of the “thief” left him paler than normal. He lived the suffering over and over again in his dreams and acquired the gift of clairvoyance in a strange way that he would see himself being brutally tormented by anything dreadful that was to happen to him.
Although the young Protector lived through this for a time, he sought out a master of learning.
Master and mastery
His search brought him to the tutelage of Pontifex Saitou. The old Pontifex readily took the Omwati under his wing, and so began Kazarelth’s frequent visits to Castle Tarentum. His teacher demystified many enigmas of the Force and helped him uncover the cloak and dagger operations of the Krath.
Saitou’s help and the ever-present Windos’ dedication on him steered him to the clothes of the Guardian. His first warbanner summed up his ardour to Krath.
He began to be involved in his Battle Team’s missions more rigorously and trained in the Cerberus’ command deck. This was primal in Marshal Maxamillian Von Oberst’s mind as he tapped the Omwati into the command of the recently vacated Creeping Death, as a lieutenant.
Kazarelth gladly took over the command of the Marauder corvette. He sensed new responsibilities that would come as a result of this.
The New Phyle
However, Kazarelth soon realised that he was being pushed from his beloved Praxeum into another Battle Team: The Keepers of the Night.
Although wary and unfriendly at first, Kazarelth soon established himself as a promising member under the leadership of Lady Telona Murrage.
Kazarelth knew Lady Murrage. She was his boss at Antei, where he worked as the assistant editor of the Dark Voice. He soon grew fond of her direction as he worked into forging his place in the halls of the hallowed Phyle.
New Times
Yet, the Omwati could not shake a nagging sense of “not-belonging”. He missed his old Praxeum and the friends he had made there over time.
At this time, the administration of Gladius took a new turn. Quaestor Sato and Aedile Dranik were called away on their clandestine operations, and the House was at a loss to seek what to do. An old stallion in Munesazun Mitsukai rose up to hold the bastion of Gladius high, as Windos, being experienced and respected, took to the job of assisting Mune as the Aedile. Lady Murrage also stepped down as the Dark Voice Tribune.
It was during this furtive change of hands that Kazarelth found unexpected powers by virtue of his ascension to the rank of Jedi Hunter, and a simple note in his room saying that he was the Praxeum’s new leader.
The young Hunter was surprised, and delighted; and resonated with the air of responsibility everyone around him perceived. This was a beginning of a new time. A testing and wondrous time of new and powerful responsibilities. Derev Niroth took over as the Dark Voice Tribune, and selected the Jedi Hunter to serve along with Dismal as joint second-in command of the Dark Voice.
Invasion and Ascension
However, Kazarelth’s newfound powers and responsibilities were put through the test of fire. He was on board the Creeping Death when the Yuuzhan Vong assaulted the Shroud.
File:Kazasaber.jpg His ship was instrumental in defending all Tarenti not protected by the strong formation of the rest of the Kraken Battlegroup. He suffered the mental strains of his encounter with a stoic sense of responsibility, and fought back bravely in the space skirmishes against the hated invaders. He came to terms with the masochistic tendencies of the Children of Yuuzhantar, and was transformed into a self-sadistic monolith himself in those times. He bore the scars of his deathly encounter with the Yuuzhan Vong’s boarding with honour.
After the humiliation of the retreat, Kazarelth received his Consul’s focus. Sith Bloodfyre noticed the passion that the youthful Hunter had, and in a small ceremony, fastened the quad-ridged Sapphire Blade to its Mandalorian hilt and presented the award to the Omwati. The blade now hangs faithfully by his left hip, as he rejoices in the comfort and disposition it grants him.
Yet, the words "your Knighthood and lightsaber are surely not far behind, but I hope you will see the significance in this reward, as well" that Bloodfyre spoke during the award ceremony were truly prophetic. Kazarelth was soon given the opportunity to construct a lightsaber by his master; and in the ritual duel that followed it, Saitou scarred him beneath his left eye as the Rite of Honour. The harvest had been ripe and Kazarelth now hung his lightsaber hilt along with his Sapphire Blade. He was now truly a renowned member within Tarentum.
