- "The battlefield is won not by strength alone, but by the patience to wait, the cunning to plan, and the resolve to see it through."
- ―Uji Taimeike
Uji Tameike has dedicated over a decade of service to the Brotherhood, earning respect as a steadfast member of the Grand Master’s Royal Guard and serving multiple terms under various Fists. In recent years, he stepped away from the spotlight to focus on his family. When approached by the Dark Council to assume the role of Fist following Rajhin Cindertail’s departure, Uji saw it as the long-awaited opportunity to bring his extensive experience and vision back to the Brotherhood.
Uji is a master tactician and strategist, renowned for his ability to plan far into the future, with schemes spanning days, weeks, or even years. He has cultivated an extensive network of allies across the Brotherhood, including individuals from various Clans and members of the Royal Guard who have acted in his stead.
Biography
Uji rarely speaks of his life before joining the Brotherhood, sharing fragments of his past with only a select few. Upon his arrival in Arcona, he served as a longstanding member of the Royal Guard. Within Clan Arcona, Uji held nearly every position, particularly in House Galeres, before serving his longest tenure as Proconsul. His leadership was marked by controversy, culminating in his imprisonment for disobeying orders and opposing his Consul. Despite this, Uji is a decorated war hero, with a distinguished record in the Dark Crusades, Great Jedi Wars, and other Brotherhood campaigns, and has protected numerous Dark Councilors as a Royal Guard.
A devoted family man, Uji prioritizes the safety and security of his loved ones. His service to the Brotherhood provides him with the awareness and means to protect them from potential threats. Uji holds only a select few in the highest regard, including his wife Satsi and their daughter Samantha, his close friends Turel Sorren and Kordath Bleu, and Darth Renatus, known to him as Atra Ventus, whom he deeply respects as an equal.
Though unaffiliated for many years, he holds a note of respect for Arcia Cortel and Rulvak Qurroc two individuals he served with aboard the Nighthawk.
Physical Description
With sharp, slanted brown eyes that seem too old for his face and a diminished frame, Uji resembles a soldier forgotten by time. His body, weakened by age and injury, retains a straight-backed stance, exuding confidence despite its frailty. The stress lines etched into his features are occasionally softened by a quick smirk, and his dark brows often arch in exasperation.
Uji’s pale, tan complexion is marred by numerous scars, most notably two thin, parallel marks running across his sharp nose from below his left eye to the opposite side. His strong jaw and pronounced cheekbones are framed by a neatly groomed goatee and stray locks of dark black hair that escape the knot he wears. Though he leans on a cane, his commanding presence remains unshaken.
Personality and Traits
Patience and intelligence define Uji’s leadership style. As a meticulous planner, he excels at crafting long-term strategies, weaving intricate plans that often culminate in controlled chaos. His slow, deliberate approach makes him an exceptional tactician and problem-solver, though it can occasionally hinder his ability to adapt to rapidly changing situations.
Years of battle have left Uji physically diminished, but his reliance on strategy and careful coordination allows him to lead effectively. While he plays a supportive role in combat, his strength lies in directing others and ensuring their success through his foresight and calculated decisions.
Powers and Abilities
Uji is a disciplined practitioner of Makashi, having refined his technique to ensure each movement is deliberate and efficient. Over the years, his physical health has deteriorated, making his precise, measured style not just a preference, but a necessity. No longer able to rely on his previous physical prowess, he has adapted his approach, embracing the art of Suppression. This allows him to neutralize the abilities of other Force users, evening the odds in combat and ensuring his tactical advantage in confrontations.
