Kant Lavar is an interesting puzzle - not only is he a member of the Obelisk Order, he is also a former member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild. Additionally, despite the fact that he is one of the newest apprentices in House Oriens Obscurum, he is not inexperienced in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force - years ago, he was a fully-fledged Dark Jedi Knight in the service of the old Emperor's Hammer and a member of their Krath House Gladius of Clan Tarentum. While some would consider the skill sets of a Dark Jedi Knight and a former bounty hunter impossible to reconcile, Lavar has instead been able to turn both sets of skills to complement the other.

The Bounty Hunter's Guild and the Emperor's Hammer

Kant Lavar's career (or careers, depending on how one looked at it) started in the Lyarna System as a member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild. His early years as a bounty hunter were unremarkable to the outside observer, but as time went on and he started completing more and more dangerous hunts, culminating with a successful one-man assault on a planet-based Rebel starfighter facility, assassinating one of the Rebellion's more prominent pilots and destroying a majority of the starfighters there, he came to the attention of the old Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

The Dark Brotherhood

Lavar was tested and accepted into the Order of the Krath as a member of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow. During his tenure there, he served as House Rollmaster and later was even selected by the Consul of Naga Sadow to be the first Lord Primus of the Clan's multi-order elite battleteam known as the Black Guard. (This was before the Black Guard came to be in its current incarnation.) Lavar ascended the ranks to Dark Jedi Knight and there he would remain for that portion of his career. He attempted to take an apprentice several times, but each time the apprentice failed to remain in the order. After a year or so, Lavar recieved a tip in regards to his parents' killer and took an extended leave of absence from the Guild and the Brotherhood to hunt him down.

Return to Corellia and the Schism

Lavar's parents had both been agents of the Corellian Security Force. When Lavar was 17, his parents were killed in the line of duty, and their deaths set Lavar's course for the rest of his life. He traded and sold much of his inheritance to buy his own R-41 Starchaser, and went off to try and avenge his parents' murder. However, his chase ended when he tried to attack the criminal's Corellian Corvette, and only the intervention of a pair of CorSec X-wings kept him from being blown out of the sky. Lavar left the Corellian system after that, until he happened to jump into the Minos Cluster and heard about the Bounty Hunter's Guild.

He had, however, maintained contacts in the Corellian system and CorSec, and one of them informed him that the criminal who had killed his parents had returned to the Corellian system. Lavar took immediate leaves of absence from both the Bounty Hunter's Guild and the Brotherhood to return to the Corellian system himself and eliminate the criminal. Lavar has never been forthcoming with the details of what had happened, but when he returned to the Dark Brotherhood, he found himself in the middle of the schism between the Brotherhood and the Emperor's Hammer. Lavar absented himself from the battlefield, and for a lack of information, found himself enrolled with the schismatic Krath loyal to the Emperor's Hammer and a member of their House Gladius, in Clan Tarentum. Lavar continued his career there for a while, as well as returning to the Bounty Hunter's Guild, until he went on a mission to Dathomir.
