Character History

Early Years

Deatharoc was born into an extremely wealthy family who immediately pushed him into becoming a businessman. It was their greatest dream for him to run the family business, Drold Droids. Publicly, it was one of the most successful droid manufacturing companies in the system. Privately, it was a company that had many ties with the world of crime and used those ties to intimidate or crush competition. Deatharoc learned of the darker side of his family's business when he was about 3 years old and quickly learned to accept that it was the easiest way to survive.

As the years passed, a young Deatharoc slowly turned into the perfect businessman. He became sophisticated, suave, cunning and intelligent; traits that he still retains as a Dark Jedi. However, there was one quality that worried his parents: his ruthlessness. There were many incidents in which Deatharoc had beaten and sometimes killed those who failed him. His murders were 'overlooked' by the Regional Governor of Corellia due to Drold Droid's Imperial dealings. He was still often rebuked by his parents who he could never agree with. Traits of the Dark Side of the force were beginning to show themselves in the young businessman.

Climbing the corporate Ladder

Deatharoc slowly became more and more powerful personally. His travels allowed him to meet many people. Soon he was as powerful as his father. Soon tragedy would strike the family though. Ironically this tragedy would give Deatharoc control of Drold Droids inc. The crime lords who his family worked with tired of Deatharoc's parents and killed them. Deatharoc gained control of Drold Droids and planned his revenge against the criminals. This was not only to avenge his parents but also to inject fear into the entire underworld of Corellia.

Deatharoc struck a deal with the Imperials on Corellia. He'd give them discounts on all their droid orders and they would loan him stormtroopers for his plan against the crime lords and supply his company with Imperial weapons and starship technology. The only problem was the New Republic. As the New Republic grew more powerful, the Empire was weakening and was forced out of Corellia. Deatharoc had to keep his dealings with the Imperials secret. The weapons and starfighters were smuggled into Corellia via 3 Drold Droids carriers. With these new supplies, plus the loaned stormtroopers, Deatharoc could put his revenge in motion.

The crimelords were on their private space yachts when Deatharoc attacked them. Drold Droid's personal pilots, led by Deatharoc himself, used the new Imperial TIE Advanceds the Empire had given to Deatharoc to disable the yacht. When the ship was immobile, the stormtroopers made their way into the yacht and brutally 'extracted' the crimelords out of their ship. Deatharoc had the crimelords brought to him and he killed them himself with a vibroblade. Now Deatharoc was in complete control of his company and felt no remorse at all for the murders he'd comitted.

Fall to the Dark Side

Drold Droids thrived under Deatharoc and was soon supplying every major faction in the Galaxy from the Rebellion to the Empire. Deatharoc continued to travel around the Galaxy. On a fateful trip, Deatharoc met the love his life, Tara Ordabb.

Deatharoc was in a catina when he met Tara Ordabb, an exotic and beautiful dancer. He saved her from a thug and both got to know each other very well and eventually fell in love. However, Tara could never be with Deatharoc. She was owned by a notorious Hutt and when Deatharoc asked her to go with him she declined. This put a great amount saddness on Deatharoc and drew him closer to the Dark Side of the Force. While on his space yacht after he left Tatooine, Deatharoc was so overcome by his anger and depression that he nearly beat one of his attendants to death. Deatharoc was a changed man. He was far more irratable, ruthless and sinister than he had ever been.

Deatharoc then met the person who would recruit him into the Dark Brotherhood: Balnazaar. After one of his meetings with the board of directors, Balnazaar requested to meet Deatharoc. When the future Jedi Hunter refused, Balnazaar killed Deatharoc's guards and forced himself into the office of Deatharoc. Impressed with Balnazaar's skill, he listened to what the Tarenti had to say. Balnazaar told Deatharoc of the existence of the Dark Brotherhood and asked him to join the Brotherhood. Deatharoc agreed immediately.

Life in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Deatharoc left Drold Droids to be run by his uncle but still retained most of his stock. Balnazaar brought him to the Shadow Academy where he was quickly promoted to an Apprentice and sent to join the great Clan Tarentum. He was put in the Praxeum, a battle team of House Gladius. There Deatharoc trained in the ways of the Force and became more powerful. After reaching the rank of Protector, he was apprenticed to Dark Side Adept Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae.

Early Missions

Deatharoc was sent by his master to numerous planets on missions, some of which were extremely deadly. One particularly grueling mission was when the then Protector was sent to kill a mandalorian warrior in the jungle moon Dxun. Deatharoc fought of dozens of cannok and other wild beasts in the moon. The Protector was able to find the mandalorian and managed to kill the warrior with his own blaster. Deatharoc kept the Mandalorian Disintegrator, knowing that it would be useful in the future. Soon after, Deatharoc upgraded weapon, making it more deadly than it already was.

Another early mission of Deatharoc's was to assassinate a corporate president on Coruscant. The Protector attempted to make use of a sniper rifle but was forced to activate a thermal detonator inside the president's room. Soon after, Deatharoc was promoted to Guardian.

The Kiss of Death

Deatharoc was then sent by his master to hunt down a bounty hunter on Tatooine known as the Kiss of Death and take a Sith Sword that was on the planet. After getting himself into a fight against an army of thugs, the Guardian found himself helped by the Kiss of Death who was revealed to be Tara. Deatharoc found himself falling in love with Tara once again and realized that he couldn't kill her. Still, the Guardian wanted to retrieve the Sith Sword for his master. Tara agreed to get it for him but to do so, she had to enter in a fighting competition hosted by her Hutt master. Tara ended up losing and was given as a slave to the female Tw'lek bounty hunter who bested her. Deatharoc wanted to rescue Tara and smuggled himself in one of the Hutt's land speeders.

The Guardian assaulted the bounty hunter's room and went on a frenzy with the force. He used his telekinetic powers to launch pieces of steel all around the room. Although he succeeded in killing the bounty hunter, Deatharoc inadvertently killed Tara who was also in the room. The Guardian was dismayed and fuming with hate.

Deatharoc was able to enter the Hutt's quarters undetected and threatened the Hutt. The Hutt tried to appease Deatharoc by giving him an Imperial Shuttle, a Carrack-Cruiser, a TIE Defender and the Sith Sword that brought him to the planet. Deatharoc agreed and left Tatooine after he burried Tara's body. The Hutt was killed in an explosion caused by faulty droids manufactured by Drold Droids. Deatharoc named the Carrack-Cruiser the Kiss of Death in Tara's memory and left it and all the other ships in his private complex on Corellia. Deatharoc was surprised to learn that his master knew of Tara Ordab and her status as a bounty hunter. The Guardian realized that the mission and all of its happenings was orchestrated by his master. Deatharoc kept the sword and he was soon promoted, once again, to the rank of Jedi Hunter. However, this Jedi Hunter would soon face his greatest test yet: fighting in a real war.
