Biography
Origins
Dralin's parents were wealthy business owners who moved to the burgeoning city at the foot of Mount Tantiss at a young age together. Shortly before the city's destruction during the events surrounding Grand Admiral Thrawn's plot to destroy the Republic, Dralin's parents moved off-planet, not wanting to be present during all the commotion while Dralin's mother was pregnant. Soon after New Nystao was established by the displaced Noghri as the new capital of Wayland, Dralin's parents moved back in time for Dralin to be born there. The Omwati couple opened what would be known as the first and best bistro in the capital, which catered to the Noghri population's preference for a modest setting and simple meals.
Growing up, Dralin often mingled with the Noghri, and soon grew more fond of the compact Noghri than his fellow humanoids. He grew to accept Noghri culture, along with their ideas in honor, friendship, and family. Dralin would often spend his entire day with the Noghri children, also taking time out to speak with the Dynasts of the Noghri clans.
Teenage Life
The Dynast of the Hakh'khar Clan always held a soft spot for the strange Omwati among his kind. Dralin often held his own in philosophical debates with the Dynast, and viewed him as a grandfatherly figure. As a special treat, the Hakh'khar Dynast let Dralin sit in at the Grand Dukha, the meeting between the Clan Dynasts and their parties, when he was 16. It was here that Dralin's latent Force capabilities would manifest.
While Clan Hakh'khar was well-established in New Nystao, Clan Baikh'vair had misgivings about occupying the planet used by Thrawn as a base. Just before the meeting, Dralin felt something strange ab out the Baikh'vair Dynast, almost a feeling of imminent threat. He told the Hakh'khar Dynast about his feelings on the matter, and the Dynast listened, knowing that Dralin wouldn't impinge on the Baikh'vair Dynast's honor without reason. When the Dynasts all sat down to begin the discussions at hand, the Baikh'vair Dynast lunged across the table at the Hakh'khar Dynast. Had the Hakh'khar elder not been forewarned, the younger Baikh'vair Dynast could have easily dispatched him using the element of surprise.
For his warning and for the honor he displayed in his loyal actions, Dralin was named an honorary member of Clan Hakh'khar. For the other Noghri, the word of the Dynast and Dralin were enough; for the non-Noghri population who witnessed the occurrence and heard of Dralin's involvement, suspicion began to seep in. Soon, the community was divided on whether or not Dralin had set up the Baikh'vair Dynast, or if it was all a ruse to begin with. The other inhabitants began making Dralin's life difficult, starting out with only little things. Sometimes he was given the cold shoulder, other times refused service at a non-Noghri establishment. Soon, the taunting and heckling began. It was only a matter of time before things started getting violent, and Dralin could scarcely walk down the street without getting stones thrown at him along with the jeers.
The Hakh'khar Dynast, however, had held his suspicions about Dralin's insight close, and believed the young man to be Force-sensitive. After speaking to his contact in Clan Tarentum, in the Yridia System, the Dynast arranged for Dralin to be sent off, to both learn how to control his budding powers, as well as escape the cruel treatment of his peers.
Arrival at Sword's Sheath
Dralin was sent to the Sword's Sheath, House Gladius' home in the Itaana Belt. He learned much there, and enjoyed the freedom he had to learn about the Force and exercise both his body and his will. Soon, he attracted the attention of at-the-time-Quaestor Kromtal Stormfyld. Master Stormfyld taught him the value of initiative, answering questions his apprentice had. Soon, Dralin's Envoy, Telona Murrage, commandeered him and took him, along with fellow Journeyman Bieten Macht Elols, in what was supposed to be a routine flight. After crash-landing on the surface of Koros, Dralin and Elols followed Telona into the Cestus Complex, surviving the nightmare scenario until help arrived.
Soon after, Master Stormfyld passed Dralin's apprenticeship on to Telona, who had the time to devote to his training. It was then that Dralin was made the Archivist of Battle Team Praxeum, only to gain the position of Tetrarch shortly thereafter.
Telona's Apprentice
Dralin's apprenticeship to Telona Murrage would prove to be both the most difficult thing he would encounter so far, as well as the most rewarding. Telona by no means went easy on Dralin, who would have to prove himself at every turn. Under Telona, he learned the art of Close Quarters Battle with it's myriad ways of killing someone with a small blade, the true value of independent thought, and the proper use of his physical Force powers. One thing that would plague him, however, was his inability to control his Force senses. While Dralin grew to have reasonable ability in being able to affect the world around him with the Force, whenever he tried to actively sense his surroundings he would draw blanks. His Force senses would be out of reach when he tried for them, and other times they would flood his senses with unasked for information, especially in his sleep.
During this time, Dralin also reorganized the battleteam Praxeum into Arcano Signum, as the members felt that they were no longer a training institution for new members and needed a change.
