Vorion

Origins

Vorion is generally a quiet and reserved individual; as a rule, he speaks only when spoken to and in as brief and direct a fashion as possible. His peers have described him as ominous and deep, others as stoic and 'emotionally muted'. When he speaks his tone is eerily clinical and detached, as if the narrator of a holovid documentary.

If he speaks for more than a moment, any more than answering a simple question or making a brief statement, it tends to take the form of a narrative of some sort. Ubese, a people with little remaining by way of written history or tradition, instead have roots in oral storytelling as a way of retaining valuable information, and tend to relate to events in tales.

A byproduct of a harsh upbringing, the young man disdains many recreations and pastimes as frivolous and empty; if he can not derive some sort of practical use from an activity it tends to have little meaning to him. His mastery of card games such as Liar's Cut and Schickele is justified by the healthy gambling appetites of many manual laborers from his home world Uba IV, where he made a large portion of his income in card sharking those foolish enough to gamble with the 'kid with the sixth sense.'

In the year since he first arrived at the Shadow Academy, Vorion has, however, developed an appreciation for more esoteric pursuits as he has come to understand that there is no insight that is useless. He tends to focus more on conventional academics than on the secrets of the Force, insisting that a thorough understanding of the mundane world, particularly physics, is essential for any would-be student of the Force. His dogged pursuit and appreciation of higher learning has awakened in him a desire to likewise see every member of every strata and class of galactic society offered the chance to pursue academia. He maintains that he is a dedicated, selfless altruist, and that his pursuit of power is inherently superior to that of other Dark Jedi because he only wishes to ultimately better the lives of every living being in the galaxy. While he himself admits that this notion is largely an ideal, to Vorion that does not invalidate it's worthiness as an ultimate aspiration.

Vorion is notorious for his hot temper, itself the reason for his presence in the Brotherhood. His anger often clouds his rational judgment, although the self-discipline that comes with the rigorous training of a Dark Jedi has shown him when and how to curb his wrath if necessary. His rage stems from his perception of the social injustices dealt to both his indigenous and adopted people by the Republic. He also finds the Dark Jedi Brotherhood a source of growing irritation for him because he sees many talented and powerful individuals wasting their resources and abilities on petty strife and internal quibbles. In his opinion the Brotherhood has every resource needed to halt the onslaught of Yuuzhan Vong invasion and liberate and enlighten the galaxy if they chose to do so, rather than hiding behind their veil of secrecy and retreating from the inevitable conflict that will follow the development of a superpower such as the Brotherhood has the potential to become.
