- "You really are your Father's daughter."
"I hope so, he was an ass!"
- ―Appius and Tracinya, 39 ABY.
Tracinya Beviin Entar is a Sith Warlord within Clan Taldryan and a Mandalorian Darmanda formerly of Clan Beviin.
Character History
Early Life
Born on Mandalore in 22 ABY to Kalon and Vera, Tracinya is a daughter of Clan Beviin. Her father was a member of the Mando Cabure and was usually absent, so she remained under the instruction and care of her mother and was taught to become a fierce warrior, loyal to her Clan. In 29 ABY, Kalon failed to return from a high-risk operation, but reappeared two years later now as a Dark Jedi Knight and a proud member of Clan Arcona. After realising his daughter also held an innate force sensitivity, he decided to take her back with him back to the Dajorra System, taking her on as his informal Sith Apprentice.
Through-out the next decade, Tracinya discovered her unknowingly strong connection to the Force and endured the slow and painful training of the Sith Order. Kalon did his best to ensure that few were aware of her continued presence in his shadow. When Kalon assumed summit positions in Naga Sadow and Plagueis, Tracinya put her new found skills to to the test by taking on unofficial assignments and assassination contracts, but this was all for the benefit of her father's career and not through loyalty to any Clan or the Brotherhood in general.

Joining Taldryan
During the Great Jedi War XVI Tracinya took part in operations for Clan Taldryan. This was her first experience of large-scale combat and the Sith Marauder found that she flourished under the pressure. After the conclusion of the war, Tracinya ended up back on Chyron hunting down some of the last Collective agents active on the ecumenopolis. After dispatching one named Darrik Blur she received a summons to the Clan HQ in the Taldryan Sector.
The Aedile of House Ektrosis, Appius Wight, was there to greet the young Sith. He informed her that the clan summit suspected a Collective presence within the Bastion prison facility on the moon of Orth. The Aedile also revealed that her father had been sent to investigate and had failed to report in. Tracinya quickly agreed to accompany her fellow Mandalorian to Orth to investigate what was happening for themselves.
The duo landed outside the facility and made their way towards it on foot. After breaching the perimeter it was evident that the Collective had taken full control of the prison. The Mandalorians fought their way through the facility, encountering stiff resistance and a vast selection of traps as they ascended towards the bridge. There they found General Yoris who had rallied the last of his troops against the invading Sith. Appius and Tracinya made quick work of the Collective remnants, injuring the General in the process.
Before he was executed, Yoris revealed that Kalon had been captured and taken off-world on the orders of Commander Sargus, Tracinya's deceptive and traitorous uncle. After being consoled by Appius and whilst Taldryanite forces retook the Bastion, the Aedile offered the young Sith an official place within Clan Taldryan. Tracinya accepted, assuming her father's former place in House Ektrosis.
House Ektrosis
Now a Sith Battlemaster, Tracinya found her initial time in Ektrosis to be difficult. She often got into disagreements with other members of her House which were usually resolved by Appius' timely intervention. The young Sith was brash and headstrong, common traits for someone of her parentage and reacted badly to receiving orders during high-risk assignments. Her behaviour changed when she met her previously unknown half-sister, Aay'han Agrona, in a chance meeting during a trip to Mandalore. Tracinya assisted Aay'han in being recognised by Clan Beviin, and shorty afterwards the siblings returned to Taldryan space together.
Tracinya later took part in the raiding of a warehouse in the Industrial District of Chyron, which was occupied by the leaders of a planned Collective rebellion. She partnered with another Sith Battlemaster, Meleu Karthdo, and together they wiped out an entire floor of the building.
When the Unchained made their presence known in the Caelus System, Tracinya joined the rest of Ektrosis and travelled to Ostara. Here she assisted in the discovery and capture of a dark temple that would later be used as the new HQ of the House. The Undaunted forces were pushed back until their leaders were slain, saving Ostara from outside control.
At one point around this time, Tracinya travelled to Dromund Kaas without notifying her superiors. She began to explore the ancient sith temples for artefacts and other forms of hidden knowledge. Her absence immediately alerted Appius, now the Quaestor of House Ektrosis. The Sorcerer confronted Tracinya in one of the great temples and a heated argument ensured, further escalating into a duel. The fight was long and destructive, but in the end they were both almost killed by a collapsing wall. After the dust had settled, the two Mandalorians made amends and returned to the Caelus System. Tracinya later advanced to Sith Battlelord.
In 39 ABY, Tracinya joined Taldryan in the Invasion of Port Kasiya after Governor Yorinonu betrayed the Clan and claimed the city for himself. When the Taldryan fleet reached Kasiya a fierce space battle erupted in orbit. Tracinya was amongst the first wave of landing craft attempting to fly through the carnage and off-load troops into the city. From the viewing port on her shuttle, the Sith watched less fortunate allies get torn apart by the anti-air defences during the descent. Her shuttle managed to locate an adequate landing zone amongst the war-torn streets. However, a few moments after touching down, the shuttle was hit directly by a well-placed missile and destroyed. By the time Tracinya recovered, the survivors were pinned down by intense blaster and rocket fire. Every time she lifted her head from cover, snipers immediately took aim at her. By the end of the day, the Mandalorian had regrouped with the other members of Ektrosis.
For the next three weeks Tracinya would go district to district, from dealing with gangsters and turf wars to fighting traitors behind enemy lines. Eventually, Taldryan forces managed to squash the last pockets of resistance in Port Kasiya and Governor Yorinobu had fled from the surface of the moon, ending the civil war within the city.
After the dust had settled over Kasiya, Appius, who had taken over from Erinyes as Consul of Clan Taldryan, was aware that the Clan had been caught off guard. He would ensure an incident like this would not reoccur by ordering the creation of House Thanatos led by Raistline Taldrya Majere. This new house would specialise in black ops, conducting assignments such as reconnaissance, assassinations and intel gathering away from the prying eyes of the public. Tracinya was called to Appius' office soon after she arrived back on Chyron where he offered her a posting as Aedile of the new house, an offer she promptly accepted.
House Thanatos
As Aedile of House Thanatos, Tracinya assisted Raistline in smoothing out the details of their creation. The warrior wasn't typically keen on paperwork and administrative duties, but she accepted it was an important process in building Thanatos' formidable arsenal. A prison break on Orth occurred around this time, giving the Mandalorian a break from filling out request forms. She travelled back to the Bastion on Orth for the first time since her father's disappearance. Tracinya worked her way back through the facility, helping the local defence forces and other Taldryanites in containing the outbreak of inmates whilst others went after the perpetrators. By the time it was all over, the Battlelord took note that tempers were flaring between Taldryan and the independent government back on Chyron.
Inevitably, the Chancellor of Chyron also betrayed Taldryan and threw the Caelus System into an even deadlier civil conflict. Ky'lain travelled to the ancient temple beneath the frozen surface of Elysia to unleash a weapon of immense destructive power upon the Clan. Tracinya travelled to Elysia with a strike team to put an end to the Chancellor's plans. During the assault on the temple, the Sith met Zxyl Bes'uliik Taldrya, the Regent of the Brotherhood, for the first time. The two Mandalorian's formed a cordial friendship throughout the time they worked together, and the young Sith was all to quick to take his side in disagreements with Appius. Tracinya also met Valkyrie, a clone who had been trapped in a form of stasis for years. The strike team was successful in retrieving the artefact from Ky'Lain, although the Chancellor managed to escape, injuring Tracinya in the process.
Thanatos would eventually set up its headquarters on Elysia and in the surrounding city of Tartarus. Despite this, Tracinya maintained an office in Port Kasiya, where she assisted in running the Caelus Internal Operations Unit. It was on one fateful day when an assassin used her office to try and assassinate Appius, now the Consul of Clan Taldryan, with a scoped rifle. The attack failed, but not before Tracinya was falsely assumed to be the culprit. The Sith reacted badly to an attempt made to arrest her, killing Taldryan military personnel and Brotherhood members alike in her attempts to escape. She eventually turned herself in after the real assassin had been apprehended, claiming she'd acted in self-defence. Appius despite recognising the unusual situation, chose to sentence Tracinya to a month imprisoned within the Bastion facility on Orth. The verdict felt like a betrayal by someone she saw to be kin, and the Sith held a lot of animosity towards the Consul because of this decision.
By 40 ABY, Tracinya had finished serving her time and was making her way back to Port Kasiya on her personnel vessel, the Sharal'verd, when the Great Jedi War XV began. Kasiya was under siege by the Children of Mortis by the time the Mandalorian arrived in orbit. During her attempts to land on the moon, her ship was damaged by enemy fighters and crashed violently into the harbour of the city. Tracinya's cousin, Tyrus, was killed in the crash and the girl sustained long-term injuries that put her out of action for the rest of the conflict.
Interim
Since Taldryan was weakened from the war, the decision was made to restructure the Clan. As a result, House Thanatos was disbanded, and it's assets redistributed amongst the rest of the functioning units. Tracinya felt a desire to spend some time away from the Brotherhood by this point. The Sith used the quiet times post-war to travel along the Mid and Outer Rim Territories, most notably a week-long stay on Nar Shaddaa. Tracinya learned from a contact that Kalon was still alive and on Csilla, the Chiss homeworld in the Unknown Regions. The two eventually met again on Mandalore, and the girl was surprised that her father did not wish to return to the Brotherhood, opting to stay on Csilla and continue exploring that part of the galaxy.
When Tracinya returned to Chyron in 41 ABY, those that knew her noticed the changes. The young girl was not as quick to anger than before, having matured and concentrated on her studies into the dark side. Her once brown eyes were now a smouldering yellow, and her veins were becoming more prominent on her skin. Not long after her return, Tracinya was promoted to Sith Warlord. She currently resides on Elysia, preferring to focus her time on her own ambitions, as opposed to Taldryan operations.
Character Traits
Physical Description
Tracinya is physically an unassuming individual, apart from her piercing red and yellow eyes. They glow faintly, the tell-tale sign of a practitioner in the Dark Side of the Force. The Mandalorian teenager is of an average-height, with a slim build and pale complexion. Her long, dark-brown hair is usually tied back tightly, clearly showing that her face is mostly void of blemishes or any other distinguishing marks. Her soft facial features are often times contorted into a disdained frown.
Tracinya's traditional Mandalorian armour is made entirely out of pure beskad. It consists of dull, non-reflective black plates worn above a dark blue skin-tight undersuit. On each pauldron run two parallel lines in gold which can also be found running down the armour on the left leg. The emblem of Clan Taldryan sits proudly on the left side of the chestpiece, whilst on the right are two horizontal lines, all marked in the same golden colour. Additionally there are seven tally markings clearly etched above the left part of the visor on the helmet.
Personality
Tracinya's name means 'flame' in the tongue of her people, and indeed she once lived up to it with a fiery and unpredictable temperament. She could come across typically as a stubborn young Mandalorian, always itching for a fight and never thinking about the consequences to her actions. Currently though, Tracinya is a more reserved individual, cold and dismissive of other people and usually trying to find ways to manipulate them for her own reasons. Despite this, if angered hints of her old personality will start to show through.
