Zasati Tryezsh (born 1 ABY), is a Jedi Hunter in House Ektrosis of Clan Taldryan.
History
Childhood
Zasati Tryezsh (birth name: Zasha Ti Danidual) was born in 1 ABY on the planet Gallinore in the Hapes Cluster. Her mother, a Hapan named Tryezsha’lin Danidual, was a lead field researcher. Her father, a Human named Tatim Osechal, was her mother’s assistant. She was only with her parents for six short years. As an only child, the young halfling had a relatively normal childhood by the cultural standards of her world. She was raised with strong Hapan values: males were the lesser sex and that no one, not even family, should ever get in the way of one's rise to power.

Near the end of her sixth year, her parents were targeted by the Hapes Consortium for taking part in a firedrake smuggling ring. The Consortium’s eyes and ears were ubiquitous across the Hapes Cluster and it wasn’t long before her parents were imprisoned and executed. She escaped their fate, largely in part to her parents’ foresight. Months prior they had sent her to live with relatives in the Outer Rim Territories.
Zasati lived with her Uncle Theo and his wife, Lotti, and their twelve children in the city of Valentia on the planet Jelucan. The family lived on the outskirts of the city in an impossibly tiny home. Her Aunt was abusive and her Uncle was constantly out of work. As the youngest of the children, she was often teased by her human cousins. However, this did little to bother Zasati. Early on she exhibited a greater maturity than her peers and often tried to pit them against one another when they irritated her.
No Longer a Child, Not yet a Woman
At the age of nine, her Aunt and Uncle could no longer afford to care for their children. Tryezsh was the first to be sold off to pay their debts. She was sold to Madame Ki'note Siv, the owner of The Blue Monk, a high-end bordello in the Pleasantry District. Tryezsh would spend the next eight years as a servant to the House's most talented courtesan.
Mark of The Blue Monk
Upon her arrival to the bordello, she branded by Madame Ki'nota before she was allowed to work as a servant to the courtesans. The Madame had an Electrotattoo, in the House Emblem of two twisting lines, surgically branded on her left cheek, forever marking her as property.
At the time, the Electrotattoo was an obscure wonder of modern electronics. Almost considered a cybernetic device, it was comprised of two parts. First, a series of tiny optic transceivers, collectively called Nanoink, were surgically inserted under the skin to resemble the desired tattoo. Next, a sensory implant chip was installed within the brain. This allowed the Nanoink optics to communicate with the emotional-interpretation area of the brain. The device monitored chemical changes in order to transmit the proper color sequence to the Nanoink. The colors corresponded to a special code known primarily to Madame Ki’nota and the courtesans of The Blue Monk.
The primary use of the Electrotattoos was to brand property. The secondary use was to expose the slave's true emotions and intentions, in regard to their Owner, and keep them in check.

Becoming Zasati
By the time she was eighteen, she had proven herself to be a loyal and obedient servant to Madame Ki'nota. Tryezsh began her career as a companion to Tsetsiva, a Miralukan courtesan famed for her singing voice. Tsetsiva trained Tryezsh in the ways of their trade, ensuring that she could dance, sing, entertain party guests as a hostess, and knew the latest techniques in the bedroom.
When prominent patrons began to ask for the half-Hapan's company, Madame Ki'nota decided to debut her in an elaborate ceremony. She was given the new name: Zasati. An evening with her was triple the going rate in exchange for her company in both private and social settings. It did not take her long to climb to relative power within the bordello. No longer was she treated as a scullery maid, but rather a very important piece of the House's income.
A Courtesan's Comforts
After a year, Zasati was considered to be one of the most adept and attractive courtesans in her the area of Valentia. She was a paramour to the noble and wealthy of society there. More educated and charming than the typical light-skirt walking the streets, her prices were high and she lived in absolutely lavish comfort. She eventually even took on a Sponsor, a Pantoran named Feff Jarrcara, who paid top credit to keep her housed and clothed well. In return, she provided him with regular companionship.

A Zeltron by any Other Name...
A few years later she crossed paths with a young woman who told her of unseen powers that could restore her honor. Eager, she sought out these powers and found herself introduced to the Dark Brotherhood.

Upon joining the Brotherhood, Zasati became an Obelisk, mostly because she found that neither the Sith or Krath Orders’ ideals suited her. Soon thereafter, Zasati Tryezsh was transferred into House Ektrosis, where she quickly became acquainted with a handful of its members. She passed five Shadow Academy courses, and eagerly began her advancement in the Brotherhood.
