- "I have seen entire civilizations rise and fall. You mortals are but dust to me."
- ―Arvalis
Arvalis, born Arvalis Cinaed Fudain Cadis, was a skilled Anzat Gray Jedi who served a brief stint as Quaestor of House Dinaari, and was part of the Tribune of the Holocrons' staff. He was an adherent of the Obelisk path and quickly rose through the ranks of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood under the guidance of Kazmir Natas, who served as his mentor.
Much of his early life was spent traveling down the Axis, until he ultimately opened a barber shop, and climbed the social ladder on Coruscant. Later in life, he reunited with his father, a Matukai, and became his apprentice. Together, the pair traveled in the Outer Rim for several years trying to put a stop to the lawlessness beyond the Core. Arvalis and his father would part ways on Mustafar. Leaving his father behind, Arvalis remained on the volcanic planet to train with the Blackguard. Sent on a mission to Dxun by the order, he escaped the Great Jedi Purge and later fled to the Unknown Regions where he entered a Force-assisted hibernation - hoping to wake up in a Galaxy that was free from persecution.
Arvalis resurfaced in the known Galaxy around 28 ABY. He traveled in a Galaxy that had changed, but still remained the same. His life would change when met a retired Imperial Admiral named Howlader over a game of Sabacc. It was the same man that would introduce the Anzat to Taldryan
Biography
Humble Beginnings
- "Honor, glory, there's no point in speaking to someone who abides by these ideals, yet does not hesitate to kill."
- ―Iskander Cinaed to Arvalis, a teacher imparting wisdom.
All Anzati were sensitive to the ebb and flow of the Force on one level or another. Jedi prejudice towards the Anzati, and the dangerous environment of the planet, meant that a young Arvalis was not taken in for Jedi training. Arvalis was born on the mist-covered world of Anzat, left to the care of his forebear Iskander Cinead - an Anzat in his late 900's. From an early age, the young Anzat was taught how to live, how to fight, how to survive, on a planet filled with predators. Despite the family being well reputed, Arvalis was raised in a dark and damp cave hewn roughly into a rocky spire. Whenever his forebear allowed the young Anzat to have a few hours to himself, young Arvalis would retreat to the vast bamboo thickets in the mist beneath.
As a youth, Arvalis displayed an above-average sensitivity to the Force, Iskander tried his best to nourish the growing interest of his young cub - even if it was a concept Anzati do not recognize as any more correct than any of a dozen theories before. With knowledge on the Force limited and Arvalis finishing his martial training, he soon left Anzat behind. Many young Anzat pursued a life of assassination, Arvalis was not one of them.
Euceron, due to it's proximity to Anzat, was often an Anzatis first exposure to the outside Galaxy. It was the same for Arvalis.

Physical Description
Standing just under 6'1" and weighting in at about 159lbs, Arvalis is fair-skinned, fairly tall, and sports an athletic frame. Devotion to physical excellence has sculpted his body, though he does not carry to overall bulk of many of his peers.His black hair is kept long and drapes from his scalp in natural waves. Combined with his blue eyes, he has pleasant, if not attractive features from a human standpoint. In order to better assimilate in what is predominantly a Human Galaxy, the Anzat has had some minor facial surgeries to change his appearance to something more "suitable" for hiding in the plain sight.
Personality and traits
- "Cease your struggles, count your blessings, and get out of my way."
- ―Arvalis
Arvalis is well-spoken and well-behaved in social situations. His slick Coruscanti accent, easy smile, and rudimentary understanding of psychology allows him to persuade many that he is in fact not a major threat. Lulling would-be-enemies into a false sense of security has it's advantages, but those of more cautious natures and keen eyes can often see through it and reveal his true intentions.
Despite his species’ love for “soup”, and the accompanying susceptibility to addictive substances, Arvalis abstains from such practices. Stretching the time between mandatory feedings as long as possible, and even then only hunting down sentients that live on the edge of society. This tendency means he suffers from a perpetual hunger, making him weak and susceptible to fits of hunger-driven rage.
While young, for an Anzat, Arvalis has spent more than a human lifetime surviving in a galaxy that would rather see his ilk dead. He has grown to hold a certain stubbornness when it comes to survival, whether in battle or in every day situations. This survival instinct stems from a distrust of humanity, as such he distances himself from all but a select few.
Seemingly a pacifist, Arvalis is fully aware of the political games that naturally occur in the Brotherhood. While he would prefer not to get too involved in these internal struggles, he regards battle and subsequently the killing of fellow Dark Jedi as a necessary evil for the survival of Taldryan. As such, he holds no qualms over taking a life in battle.
Powers and abilities
- "Unsheathe your sword and unleash your heart."
- ―Arvalis
Arvalis excels at augmenting his physical abilities with Amplification, and is able to push himself far beyond the limits of what his body would naturally be capable of. Furthermore; he is also adept at using the Force to perceive threats. This heavy reliance on the Force will quickly sap his stamina in prolonged battles.
Arvalis is a very well practiced warrior. A purist in the art of lightsaber duels, he is able to quickly discern and abuse flaws in his opponent's fighting style. This keen insight is aided by an above average athletic ability. While fully capable of dazzling feats of acrobatic twists and turns, the Anzat prefers to keep a balanced posture. He does have trouble dealing with multiple opponents at once, the cost of being too focused on a single enemy.
