Given the choice to join the Brotherhood and serve its will or die with the rest of his gang crew, Driftan took the obvious survival route. Now, as a new member of Clan Arcona, this former gang member looks to find a place where power, wealth and fame come to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.
Known by many as an outgoing, gregarious, winsome individual, Driftan Housan is often plagued by nagging thoughts of doom and the eventual fate that surely awaits him around some dark corner. This gang member and smuggler turned Dark Jedi finds himself in a precarious situation with the tentacles of the Dark Side luring him ever more into the dark recesses of his own soul.
Unlike most members of the Brotherhood, Driftan has often had to rely heavily upon his ability to talk his way out of a situation or win people over with his charming personality. Because of his average height and stature, Driftan does not inspire much fear in people that cross his path, so being more cunning or deceptive has served this rogue well over the years. The interesting choice that Driftan faces now is the lure of destructive power over his tried and true method of winning people over to his side. Only time will tell if the Dark Side is able to completely consume this young Dark Jedi and turn him into one of the dark and destructive Jedi’s of history past.
Character History
Life on Kuat
Born to Devon and Lusian Housan of Kuat in 4 ABY, Driftan was brought into the galaxy during a tumultuous and dangerous time for the planet of Kuat. The Second Battle of Kuat welcomed Driftan into life, and the Third Battle of Kuat reminded Driftan at even a young age that this is a dangerous galaxy where only the strong and cunning thrive or survive.
Driftan's father was a machinist and supervisor with Kuat Drive Yards, specializing in custom ships for wealthy patrons. Because of the trust and prestige of Devon's job the Housan household lived comfortably, enabling Driftan to receive a private education that was above what others in his social class may have achieved. From a young age Driftan's father was mentoring him to take his place as a supervisor within the Drive Yards, but even at a young age Driftan had dreams of his own.
Red Hawks
Into the Arms of the Brotherhood
Following a mission he had just completed for the Red Hawks, Driftan was led by an unknown Dark Jedi to the planet of Arconae Primus. Once there, Driftan and his crew were captured by three members of House Qel-Droma. Three of Driftan's crew were immediately executed, with Driftan being given a deadly choice of whether to live or die. It was at this point that Sanguinius Tsucyra, one of the Dark Jedi holding Driftan captive, gave him a choice to either kill his crew member and join the Brotherhood or die at the hands of the Jedi. The decision was obvious for a man who grew up looking out for himself, and at this point Driftan made his descent into the Dark Side of the Force.
