Character History

Early History

Born to a centuries old wealthy family on Corellia, Zaxen was sent to the finest schools. As he grew to a young man he was considered what many would call gifted. However he was often seen as a bit of a trouble maker. Albeit he was brilliant but was often thought of as a bit of a radical thinker. He often challenged the views of many contemporary thinkers, politicians, and theorists. This was most charcterized when a very influential Senator came to speak at his school when he was 14 he proceed to grill and then debate the Senator on various issues. Before the day was out Zaxen had been suspended for embarrasing the school so horribly.

His mother and father did not view his attitude as very correct either. Pompous and elite, Zaxen's mother and father were so caught up in political intrigues and social status that they lived in a perpetual dream world. Zaxen also challenged this view when he was presented to the Coronet mayor's annual Gala when he was 17. He was quoted as to saying. "Do you find yourself comfortable in the company of whores." Whores of course refering to all the politicians and social elite who catered for the Mayor's favor.

The most influential event however was when Zaxen discovered the source of his families wealth. Centuries earlier Zaxen's ancestor Varden had been what many had called a wizard and likened him onto the legends of Lord Nyax. Varden had been a Warlord of sorts who some said had powers beyond normal men. Interested in learning more he asked his parents about the Dauketrenal heritage. He was met with stern refusal. Seemingly at a dead end Zaxen no longer activly pursued the topic but he never forgot about it and took some pride in the secret knowledge of his ancestry

College Years And Revelation of the Past

Zaxen because of his family's social status was able to get into Corellia's finest university. While he enjoyed the plethora of knowledge available he once again made himself known for going against the grain of popular belief.

He often challenged professors and thier theories which at first amused and even delighted many members of the faculty but soon he became known as a bit of bother.

While at the university he was able to discover more secrets of his family's mysterious history and was surprised at what he had found. His ancestor Varden had been a rogue general who developed a movement against certain large business corporations on Talus who monopolized many areas of trade including, food, energy, and defense. This monopolization allowed the Talus Corp. to set any price for thier goods. This soon led to the perpetual enslavement of the Corellian government. Varden led a campaign against Talus and had seized to Corp. The campaign was rather brutal and Varden made himself a target for the Jedi of the time as rumors of his unbelievable abilities spread through the Galaxy. Varden who had saved Corellia from economic strife was slandered somewhat for his methods and though he had secured himself a sizeable, and residual fortune which continues to this day, Varden was seen as a bit of an outcast. It took several years for the memory of Varden's deeds to be forgotten but the Dauketrenal family soon found it's place in the Corellian elite.

Zaxen was so taken by this discovery of his family's past that he began to activly persue any and all documentation of the events surrounding Varden. His search led him to a journal in his family manor's old vault. This journal described in detail many of Varden's philosophies, deeds, and even techniques he had developed in combat and methods for conjuring and utilizing the Force.

Zaxen set himself to studying this journal which led to his eventual removal from the university due to absence from classes.

The Search For Power

Zaxen with his new found knowledge had made his first plunge into a new understanding of the Universe. The Force had made itself known to him and powers began to manifest. It was as if Zaxen had awoken for the first time and his hunger for more knowledge was only surpassed by his ability to apply it.

Deciding that Corellia no longer had anything else to teach him, Zaxen collected several personal belongings in a pack and a credpad with access to his parents account he bought passage on an outbound freighter to outer rim. Guided by his intuition and his new faith in the Force, Zaxen made his way through out the Galaxy searching for places of power, libraries, and historical sites which furthered his own power.

It didn't take long for Zaxen to find the University of Agamar. A university reputed for its various excavations through out the galaxy. Zaxen's timing of his arrival set about things in motion that would change his life yet again. He had arrived during a time when the Yuuzhan Vong were making a major push towards the core worlds. Agamar had been made a refugee planet for the outer lying systems. It took a fair bit of payment to obtain admission into the archives of the university with all the local sanctions at the time.

The war with the Yuuzhan Vong had taken a turn for the worse and within a week of his arrival Zaxen witnessed the invasion of Agamar and met face to face for the first time the Yuuzhan Vong horde. Luckily Zaxen's research into the esoteric studies of the Force and its history had not gone unnoticed. During the invasion, Zaxen was rescued by two dark figures bearing lightsabers who skillfully cut down the Yuuzhan Vong warriors who had invaded the university.

The pair were members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and had been sent on their behalf to follow Zaxen and if needed to either persuade to join the Brotherhood or destroy him. Zaxen chose to join.

Entry into the Brotherhood

Zaxen's first few days in the Brotherhood were a blur as his whole existence was turned upside down. He was taken to the Shadow Academy in which he was shown the most rudimentary of Force abilities.

Trivia

The name Dauketrenal comes from Darketernal, a clan name I invented in the late 90's.

Varden as mentioned in the history was my original character name and the first to use Darketernal and the later stylized Dauketrenal sirname.

The name Varden was taken from a main character in several short stories written by Gael Baudino in a collection called "Spires of the Spirit".

Varden is not taken from the organization in the Eragon, Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini

The original incarnation of Darketernal was simply Darketenal and was also known as Sir,Lord, or Prince Darketernal and only became a sirname when others wished to ally with Darketernal.
