- "To each their own tastes. Mine is for corpses."
- ―Chaaron, regarding her bloodlust
Chaaron Mar is a female Twi'lek Dark Jedi and a member of the Sith Order. A former slave to Huttese kingpin Fossa the Hutt, she slew him in his sleep, donning her trademark mask and fleeing the moon of Nal Hutta. Prior to joining the Dark Brotherhood, Chaaron was briefly involved with the Zeison Sha on Yanibar, before falling to the Dark Side and becoming a menace to fugitives and lowlifes across the galaxy.
She currently trains beneath the tutelage of Dark Jedi Knight Dralin Fortea.
Character History
Origins
File:Fossa.jpgFossa the Hutt
Sold into slavery from her homeworld of Ryloth, Chaaron eventually became the property of crime lord Fossa the Hutt, who operated (unsurprisingly) out of Nar Shadaa, the "Smuggler's Moon." Like other female Twi'leks, she was admired for her beauty and allure, a chauvinist concept that disgusted her to no end.
Rather than traditional dancing veils, Chaaron was provided meager costumes of mesh lattice, the colors complimented by the charcoal pigment of her skin. Fossa became especially enamored with the young lady, and chose to make her his personal attendant and bedservant. She was forced to dance for the depraved Hutt and the audiences he hosted, suffering further indignities at the her master's beckoning. Rarely, Fossa would use Chaaron as an escort to plays and operas, as he possessed a great penchant for theatre. To this end, his personal quarters were decorated with all manner of theatrical
ornaments, which Chaaron was forced to use for Fossa's exclusive pleasure.
Desecrated and rueful, Chaaron spent many nights with the bitter taste of tears upon her lips, praying that her grievances would somehow be alleviated.
Death of a Hutt
- "The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states."
- ―Mahatma Gandhi
Over time, Chaaron's misery only amplified, sending her into bouts of manic depression that frequently earned her
the wrath of her master. At some points, she would seem to be submissive and resigned to her existence, abiding Fossa's wishes silently and without contention. In other instances, she would become overactive, aggressive and defiant to her owner's instructions. This often led to thorough beatings or severe torture, conducted in such a way as to not leave obvious ailments or cosmetic wounds on her body. The concept of her own mortality weighed heavily on the desperate woman, who grew to wish for death rather than live forever as an indentured harlot and whipping girl. Such violent helotry warped Chaaron's pysche, who couldn't reconcile the contrast of such covetry only to be assailed.
Her mind snapped.
Following a night of prolonged, indentured intimacy with Fossa, Chaaron remained awake in his room silently, waiting for the arrogant tyrant to fall asleep. She delighted in the vast array of beautiful adornments the Hutt had collected, preoccupying herself with their splendor while Fossa drifted off into slumber. Painfully positioning herself to his flank, she wrapped her chain around the Hutt's throat, crushing his windpipe. She constricted his neck tightly, as to stifle his vocal cords, wrenching so severely that the sheer pressure destroyed her bonds as she ended her master's life. He did not die peacefully, or quickly.
The savage act thrilled Chaaron, sharpening her senses and offering a happiness and clarity she had never experienced. Her conscience remained clean, her deed commited under the pretense of morality. She sighed and rejoiced with satisfaction, leaving all behind except for a single memento -
Fossa's favorite drama mask. It would come to serve several purposes, shrouding her in anonymity as a protest to the subjugation of her species for their pulchritude.
The Zeison Sha

Fleeing Nar Shadaa aboard a trade vessel in fear of capture, Chaaron was taken to the Outer Rim planet of Yanibar. As the natives had resisted Imperial occupation, it was considered to be in Wild Space and thus was largely uncolonized. It did, however, possess a standard starport and trade outpost, providing the largely introverted planet with supplies and the trappings of the outside galaxy. Slipping off of the vessel, she wandered for days, searching for further civilization. Eventually collapsing from the ailments of fatigue and hunger, her life was saved by the intervention of the planet's native sect of Force users, the Zeison Sha. Feeling sympathy for the stranger, the Order's Twi'lek leader, Sora Bulq, carried her back to their settlement.
None knew of her deeds, or the darkness lurking within her heart.
Sensing her potential in the Force, the isolationist community began to teach Chaaron how to use it, as the Zeison Sha specialized in telekinesis. They integrated her into their society, known for their survival skills and ability with a unique weapon called a discblade. The discblade could be imbued with the Force and, when thrown, would return to the hand of it's wielder. Using telekinesis, Chaaron became quite skilled with the armament, though her proficiency never exceeded that of others amongst the Zeison Sha. She trained passionately in their ways, developing a stable understanding of the Force and even studying the arts of hand to hand combat.
Over time, Chaaron developed a close relationship with Sora, who chose to embrace and mentor Chaaron as her own. She presumably identified with Chaaron due to her species, and was eager to help the youth hone her affinity in the Force.
Although the Order was not definitively a light side sect (as they despised the Jedi), they came to dislike Chaaron's aggressive ways and taste for warfare, as the skills they taught were meant for survival and not for harm. As she excelled, Chaaron became arrogant and fractious, ignoring the protests of those who had nurtured her. She began to develop aptitude in the dark side, warping her telekinetic prowess and wielding her powers recklessly. Her audacity and brashness saw her exiled from the Order (ordered by Sora Bulq herself), to which Chaaron responded with homicidal rage. In the ensuing battle between Chaaron and Sora Bulq, her face was viciously mutilated and scarred by a discblade. Sensing defeat or worse (and, ironically, distressed over the loss of her beauty), Chaaron bitterly fled Yanibar, though not before vowing to exact her revenge on the Master she once so loved. Not fanatical in their philosophies on the Dark Side (as the Jedi), Sora and the Zeison Sha allowed her to leave, hardly viewing the maladjusted young lady as a viable threat to an entire Order.
Drifter
For a short time, Chaaron operated as a masked vigilante and hired assassin-spy under the sobriquet "Veil." She used the credits she earned to travel from place to place and cross-train in various killing arts, cautious not to linger for too long in fear of suspicion or subduement. Capture would have meant slavery or death, neither of which were acceptable circumstances. To further obscure her identity (as well as her scarred face, something she is self-conscious about), Chaaron wore the pallid mask stolen from the bedroom of her first victim, Fossa the Hutt.
Chaaron did not arouse specific acclaim nor aplomb in her endeavors as a hired executioner or informant. As her intent was not truly to topple villainy or corruption, she stuck to preying on easier targets, murdering slave owners and selling out small time crime bosses. In fact, her actions saved larger criminal enterprises so much work that they just left her alone, allowing her to exterminate moderate threats and indulge in her delusions of grandeur. In candid axiom, Chaaron was little more than a serial butcher and would-be usurper, who lacked the willpower to infiltrate and confront more powerful institutions. She killed because she liked it, convincing herself that she carried out necessary and noble work. Chaaron was merely the epitome of an assassin, and a petty spy.
That was, until she joined the Dark Brotherhood.
In Darkness
File:Darkhood man.jpgA mysterious member of the Brotherhood sought and recruited Chaaron.
The galaxy, in the midst of so much conflict and vast struggle, offered little restraint to Chaaron's homicidal tendencies. She gallivanted around known space as a self-proclaimed "punisher," seeking and ending lives with a vulturine bloodlust. The only semblance of stability Chaaron possessed was her refusal to execute children, or those she deemed innocent. This would sometimes bring her into conflict with her employers, typically nothing more than rich poseurs or overzealous mid-level gangsters.
She would simply kill them, and claim her payment anyways.
Her covert and slaughterous methods earned her the attention of the Dark Brotherhood, who eventually revealed themselves following an enduring period of observation. Bearing a curious ability in the Force, while not possessing a lightsaber or other Jedi paraphernalia, made her an intense target of interest, one that the Brotherhood wished to mold into something more sinister.'
A mysterious figure offered her power and clarity of purpose, appealing to her sanguinary habits and erroneous perception of reality. His slithering final words struck an eerie chord with the corrupted Chaaron, who was simply unable to refuse.
"You would be wise to accept our offer, girl." he insisted.
Having tasted the empowerment lent to one by the Force and desiring a higher purpose, Chaaron agreed to leave with the stranger, who, without saying a word, simply incapacitated her through some unknown method. When she woke up, she found herself aboard the Shadow Academy flagship, Arcanum. She never learned the stranger's identity - she could only imagine whether or not he knew hers.
Assimilating herself into the clandestine society, Chaaron claimed her niche in the Sith Order, her martial knowledge and onslaught of scholarly pursuits seeing her rise quickly through the ensign ranks of Clan Tarentum.
Assigned to House Gladius, Chaaron soon developed a relationship with Dralin Fortea, with whom the bizarre Chaaron seemed to identify. The Master-Apprentice consanguinity is a kinship that Chaaron honors fiercely, and she pledged herself to follow Dralin to the edges of the galaxy.
Her role within the Order has begun to take shape as a veritable shadow, becoming ever more acquainted with the arts of silence, interrogation and death that will make her a valuable asset as an Inquisitor of the Sith.
