General Information

Sith Warrior Malisane de Ath is a member of Clan Naga Sadow and currently holds the position of Aedile of House Ludo Kressh, and is a retired Knight First Class Envoy of the Society of Envoys.

He is a dark haired human of medium height and of even temperment and has a humourous but focused and proffessional attitude to the world around him. His only loyalties are to Clan Naga Sadow and House Ludo Kressh, and the Society of Envoys. His attitude is that colleagues and leaders come and go but the organisation must remain intact.

Despite several previous offers to join families he takes a view that being in a Clan and House is enough for him, and secretly disaproves of those who feel otherwise.

However he is prepared to help and support his fellow Clan members so long as their actions support that of the Clan and is ready to turn against them should they stray from that.

Before The Dark Brotherhood

The Early Years

Malisane was born in 10 BBY on the planet Kangaras, a largely unknown jungle world within several days travel of Orion, in Usharak Keep, the planets only structure.

His birth was the design of his father, "Darth" Severak, an old self proclaimed Sith Lord who wished to use his son as a sacrifice in a ritual he believed would gain him the ultimate power needed to overthrow the Emperor and his apprentice and gain him and his followers rule over the Empire.

Severak's plans were foiled when shortly after the birth the newborn Malisane was stolen by the medic officiating over the birth and taken in a stolen shuttle to Coruscant. Though the medic was hunted down and killed by a disciple of Severak, she first managed to leave the baby with Talos Var, a cantina owner who agreed to adopt the child and gave him the name Jagos.

With no idea of his legacy or his true fathers search for him, the newly named Jagos grew up as a happy child in the cantina with his adopted father and brother. He attended a local school and developed a great love for poety and writing, and won himself a place at a university to study futher.

However events took a different path and on the night before Jagos was due to leave, a thief broke into the cantina and accidentally started a fire which destroyed the cantina and killed Jagos' adopted family. The seventeen year old youth chased the thief caught up with him in an alleyway. Though the fight initially went in favour of the older and physically stronger thief, Jagos' latent force powers allowed him to slay the thief and gave the young man a clue to his eventual future.

Jagos put his past behind him, took the name Malisane and left Coruscant that night to seek his destiny.

The Adult Years

Malisane left Corsucant for good in 7 ABY and using the money taken from the thief, he made his way to Carida and volunteered as a recruit in the Imperial Army.

Through his training his natural abilities, enhanced by the force, were noted by his instructors and at the end of the first year he was transfered to join the officer cadets in training.

It was here he gained a great enthusiasm for strategy and combat techniques and passed with full honours. He was granted the rank of Lieutenant and was transfered off Carida shortly before Kyp Duron destroyed the planet, and placed in command of a covert operations platoon.

Malisane, still assuming his adopted name, enjoyed the next decade. First as a Lieutenant, then as Captain, he operated behind enemy lines, hunted pirates and vagabonds, and carried out acts of subversion and sabotage in the name of the Remnant. He was currently happier than he ever remembered and memories of his past began to fade.

Unfortunatley again fate rolled a dice and Malisane's life was upheaved once more. In 20 ABY he was sent to lead his platoon to investigate rumours of a suspected force user on a supposeably uninhabited planet. He found one.

Tierdonis, a former Sith Battlemaster of the Dark Brotherhood and now rogue attacked Malisane's platoon, wiping them out nearly to a man. The sole survivor was the Captain. Sensing the latent force ability in Malisane, Tierdonis offered him a simple choice, die by his saber or become his student. Malisane had little choice but to take the second option.

For the next few years, alone in their shelter, Tierdonis taught Malisane to both hone his skills in the force and perfect the arts of both armed and unarmed combat. Malisane was an enthusiastic student and learned much from the more experienced Sith. However at the end of the second year once more fate interfered with the young Sith's plans.

One night two men came to the planet hunting Tierdonis, Krath Archpriest Manji Keibatsu and his student Knight Macron Goura, two envoys sent to eliminate a former one of their number.

Tierdonis fought Manji and eventually was defeated. Malisane sought to escape and ended up in a struggle with Macron. He fought well but in the end was no match for the Sith Knight. However Macron was impressed by what Malisane had learnt and against his better judgement persuaded Manji to take the young man to join the Shadow Academy and Clan Naga Sadow. Malisane had finally found the Dark Brotherhood.

The Dark Brotherhood

The Begining Of His Career

After a short time in the Shadow Academy where his current understanding of the force was tested, Malisane gained the rank of Apprentice and was transfered to his new home, the planet Aeotheran, base of House Ludo Kressh, and was taken as a student to another Battlemaster, this time Xhedias Forkall, or Shimura Keibatsu as he to become, Rolemaster of Clan Naga Sadow.

He quickly moved through the initial ranks, Novice, Acolyte, Protector, and joined Sapphire Squadron under the Commander and House Envoy he had fought, Knight Macron Goura, where he was trained in the arts of piloting and fighter combat, and though not amongst the famous Squadrons greater pilots, his skills became at least acomplished. It was then after his somewhat chaotic involvement in the feud between his own House and Marka Ragnos he was promoted to Guardian then Jedi Hunter in quick succession. When the position of Macrons Assistant Envoy became available Malisane applied and was accepted, begining his involvement and loyalty to the mysterious Society of Envoys.

Shortly after this Malisane began his trials towards Knighthood, and during this an upheaval took place in the Clan. Battlelord Robert Daragon, Quaestor of Ludo Kressh and Clan Envoy of Naga Sadow retired and left the Clan for destinations unknown. Aedile Macron was chosen to replace him as Quaestor, and resigned as House Envoy, creating a number of vacancies. Malisane's Master, Shimura Keibatsu, became Macrons Aedile, Derev Niroth, former Commander of the Night Falcons, succeeded him as Rolemaster, and Jedi Hunter Malisane was suprised to be chosen as Clan Envoy, as was Siyavash Kaida who became House Envoy of Ludo Kressh. Along with Siyavash, and Nekura Manji Keibatsu, House Envoy of Marka Ragnos, Malisane set about improving the Envoy system of Clan Naga Sadow.

The next six months were an interesting time for the Clan Envoy. He completed his trials and built and wielded his light saber as Dark Jedi Knight Malisane de Ath, his master Shimura resigned as Aedile and left the Clan, to be succeeded as Aedile by Malisanes former Battleteam member Lucius, and Malisane, Siyavash and Manji worked hard greeting new members and devising ways of improving the Envoy system, and Malisane was awarded the Degree of Dark Maven for his efforts in helping new members. It was around this point in time that Lucius left the Clan and Krath Priest Sildrin Hastur became Aedile of Ludo Kressh, and the Clan Envoy and Aedile quickly formed a close friendship.

Shortly after Headmaster Spears Tarantae resigned and Anshar, the Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, replaced him and left a vacancy. When the result was announced, House Envoy Siyavash Kaida was chosen to replace him leaving Malisane as Clan Envoy and without someone to look after Ludo Kressh. He chose recently returned Guardian Xayun Erinos to replace her. Anshar rewarded Malisane with the rank of Knight First Class Envoy for his efforts.

However Malisane had a feeling then his time as Clan Envoy was coming to an end and began to train Xayun as his replacement. The time came sooner than he expected, when Quaestor Macron resigned and Sildrin was chosen as the new Aedile. Quaestor Sildrin chose Malisane to be her first Aedile. Malisane resigned as Clan Envoy recommending Xayun replace him, and when Knight Commander Siyavash needed someone to serve as her Adjutant, Malisane accepted that role as well. With one foot in his House and the other in the Society of Envoys, the immediate future looked rosy for Malisane, however once more events took over and they were to lead Malisane to meet the last person he expected.

The Family Reunion

The events had begun when Malisane was still Clan Envoy and Macron and Sildrin were still Quaestor and Aedile. A seemingly routine investigation into a spy found in the journeyman ranks of House Ludo Kressh. However under torture the spy revealed he was from The True Brotherhood, a group of Sith lead by a mysterious Darth Severak. on the planet Kangaras. Quaestor Macron took a force of Clan Members to destroy this upstart Brotherhood, including Pro Consul Muz Ashen Keibatsu, and Malisane's new student Severina, who unknown to them was Severaks disciple.

Severina attempted to sabotage the mission from the inside, but was unmasked and slain by Malisane, Sildrin and the Keibatsus. Upon landing on Kangaras, Malisane slipped alone into Severak's stronghold, Usharak Keep, without knowing he was returning to the place of his birth. He allowed his fellow Clan Members to assault the keep and the true Brotherhood were destroyed. However Severak escaped. Upon the orders of the Dark Council the leader of the True Brotherhood was proclaimed officially dead and those Clan Members who had been involved in the mission were sworn to secrecy on the matter.

Life returned to normal, Macron retired, Sildrin and Malisane became Quaestor and Aedile. The Clan attacked and looted the Jagred city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei, and though forced to vacate the city due to reinforcements arriving, the Aedile remained behind to monitor activity in the city. It was then that he made a horrendous discovery. An agent in the Jagred military revealed the prescence of a traitor in House Ludo Kressh selling bioweapons to the Jagred. To Malisane's great dismay the traitor turned out to be his own Quaestor, Priestess Sildrin Hastur.

Malisane acted quickly with the support of Sapphire Commander Revenant, and Flight Leaders Eldrad Sin and Acara Rayden, the Aedile arrested his Quaestor by force and confinded her in the Squadrons orbitting base, the Sapphire Star. He set the Clan Envoy Xayun Erinos to investigate the evidence against his Quaestor, as he was Sildrins student and the one person Malisane could trust to find the truth.

However following Malisane's announcement to the House that he had assumed command, recently appointed Herald Muz Ashen Keibatsu, along with his Praetor Shin'Ichi and former Quaestor Macron, boarded the Sapphire Star in order to free Quaestor Sildrin.

It was at this moment that Darth Severak also boarded the station, with the intention of revenge on those who had destroyed his True Brotherhood on Kangaras. However after Severak initially gaining the upper hand, the Herald battled him and slew the self proclaimed Dark Lord. Believing the matter over, and following the presentation of the evidence Xayun had collected, Quaestor Sildrin was fully exonerated of all crimes and Malisane returned control of Ludo Kressh to her. Life looked set to return to normal.

Unfortunatley though Severak's body was dead, his spirit was not and using ancient knowledge he had uncovered, the Sith stole the body of a nearby Guardian and returned to life. Searching the Sapphire Star's database, Severak discovered the truth that Malisane was his son. He stole the Aedile away to his new base on Mustafar, with the intention of completing the ritual he had been denied thirty four years previously, and gaining the power he craved. Discovering this, Muz, Sildrin and Macron lead an escape mission to free the Aedile.

Malisane reacted badly to the discovery of his true origins, and even less enthusiastically to the news that he was to be sacrificed. However surrounded by Severak's new Sith followers there was little he could do. Severak prepared the ritual that would summon an ancient spirit whose strengh he would steal to gain immense power. However at a critical moment in the ritual Muz lead the Naga Sadow forces into the chamber, attacking Severak and his forces. The ritual continued even without Malisane's sacrifice and the spirit attempted to possess the body of Sildrin, nearly killing the Quaestor and allowing Severak to steal a third body and escape. With the ritual incorrectly performed and with the aid of the assembled Clan Members, the spirit was destroyed and Sildrin survived.

Realising he was once again defeated, Severak fled to his ship and escaped into hyperspace. However this time revenge was in the hands of his son. Upon entering hyperspace he discovered Malisane had boarded his ship and sabotaged his hyperdrive motivator. The resurrected Sith Lord was trapped supposeably forever in hyperspace, and the Clan Members returned to Orion, where slowly life returned to normal

Since then rumours that Severak may escape or the True Brotherhood are gathering elsewhere have been hotly denied by Malisane and those around him. Malisane continues to act as Sildrins Aedile in House Ludo Kressh.
