"A lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep."
―Aleister Mavros

Aleister Mavros (pronounced AHL-IYST-er Mav-ros) - also known as the Second Dreadbringer - is a human-Zeltron hybrid, and the current Battleteam Leader of Clan Plagueis's Opress Squadron. As a graduate of Ronovi Tavisaen's tenure as Headmaster, he possesses a fanatical devotion to her and sees himself as her right hand man; even if she says otherwise. He is extremely arrogant and selfish. Believing that his status as a Sith makes him inherently better than others. This is a belief instilled in him by his mother from birth.

Considered a dangerous wildcard by many due to his seemingly disconnected personality, punctuated by moments of violent rage and hatred. Even from an early age he found himself at odds with his superiors over his obsession with forbidden knowledge. He is considered very self reliant and confident to a fault. Very few people trust Mavros as he has shown an apathy towards the feelings of others and general lack of concern in regards to anyone's safety.

Powers and Abilities

Lightsaber Training

Aleister Mavros is an extremely skilled and experienced lightsaber duelist. Even at a young age he showed a skill with a lightsaber that outstripped his classmates and even an instructor or two. He quickly grew unsatisfied with the clunky nature of basic lightsaber training and began cultivating a skill-set based entirely around lightsaber to lightsaber combat.

Though styles like Form I, Form III, and Form V are more practical in the age of blasters, Mavros's dedication to the blade drove him toward the second form of lightsaber combat, Makashi. While he integrates other forms and techniques into his combat style, everything is based on the principals of Makashi. A staunch lightsaber traditionalist, he appreciates the lack of acrobatics that the style possesses, and is fairly disdainful of combat styles that utilize extensive acrobatics like Ataru. Mavros is a strong proponent of using a single blade in combat, and believes that multi-bladed styles are somewhat garish.

Mavros's mastery of Makashi is exemplary, considered to be one of the greatest users of Makashi of his time, even at his young age. His bladework was outstandingly elegant and precise, displaying a pin-point accurate and unpredictable offense reinforced by an almost effortless defense that are so thoroughly practiced that his defense is almost instinctual. Mavros's style was fluidly defensive, using his superior mobility and balance as well as feints to entrap his opponents, and footwork to outmaneuver, basin himself on balance, back-and-forth charges and sudden retreats, to work his way around opponents, aptly deflecting and evading their attacks rather than trying to meet them head-to-head first. This allows him to effectively conserve his energy in order to later unleash rapid and devastating counters. He is known to attack with a fencing-style thrust.

While his skill in Form II is great, Mavros still falls victim to the form's inherent weaknesses, primarily its difficulty in facing multiply opponents. He has doubled-down on this weakness by his application of Form V techniques as a means of counteracting Makashi's other great drawback; a lack of kinetic power. This has also made him extremely competent at deflecting blaster bolts, despite Makashi's weakness against projectile weapons.

Considered a master of his respective form, he has learned the Sith art of Dun Moch, a tactic that focuses on disrupting an opponent's concentration by the use of psychological warfare. A skill that comes naturally to someone who believes themselves better than everyone else.

Lightsaber Form

Vegvisir, also known as The Way of the Varactyl, or The Execution Form, is a unique hybrid form of lightsaber combat.

Force Powers

Telekinesis

Aleister Mavros demonstrates great prowess and strength in the use of telekinesis. He displays great skill in using telekinesis in finer, more precise tasks, such as disarming an opponent or manipulating small objects in very precise and minute ways.

Despite his strong connection to the Force, Mavros rarely uses telekinesis during lightsaber duels and focuses instead on the physical aspects of combat.

Force Lightning

As a trained Sith, Aleister Mavros is extremely proficient in Force lightning, with his skill rivaling even the best. He can cast energy so powerful that it will kill an opponent with a single blast, and can target more than one opponent at a time. A technique that Mavros likes to use is the ability to channel lightning attacks through his lightsaber, thus amplifying his blade's strikes with dark side energy.

He is also highly skilled in the use of Force lightning as a means of both torture and execution.

Martial Arts

Aleister Mavros is a student of many things. One of them being martial arts. Proficent in many styles, he most often uses the Broken Gate form. His use of the form has been seen as almost prolific and his skill and technique have earned him titles like Sifu, Sensei, Mentor. People have sought him out for his knowledge and ability in the form. however he has not, as of yet, taken on any formal apprentices.

Languages Known

Aleister Mavros was fluent in Galactic Basic and Zeltron, and understands to a certain degree the verbal form of the droid language Binary, but could not speak it himself. He is also fluent in the Sith tongue thanks to his studies.

Galactic Basic

Like all sentient humaniods raised in a proper society, Mavros can speak, read, and write in Galactic Basic. Although he has noted many idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies in the language that annoy and irritate him.

Zeltron

Mavros can fluently speak, read, and write in the native Zeltron tongue thanks to his mother. Who often spoke only in her native tongue to the boy prior to his taking by the Shadow Academy. In fact Mavros's first words were spoken in Zeltron, not Basic.

Sith

Thanks to his studies in the Shadow Academy's archives and his obsession with ancient knowledge, Mavros initially taught himself to read and write in the Sith language before taking formal lessons in the spoken tongue. He is now considered fluent in the tongue across all forms.

Other Abilities

Expanded Dossier

I Am Sith

Aleister Mavros is a devout follower of the Sith, almost exclusively following their teachings and disregarding all others. A student of history and philosophy, he considers himself the last remaining member of the long forgotten Sphere of Sith Doctrine. Basing much of his own personal philosophy on the teachings of Darth Nox, Arctis, and Thanaton. He believes that to be Sith is not dependent on your biology. As such, Mavros cared little about one's standing in terms of one's species, valuing those who were useful and loyal to him and the Sith.

Dreadbringers


"Aureole if Midwan - Glory and Power."
―Opress's Motto

The members of Opress Squadron are the mad dogs of Plagueis, and Aleister Mavros is the Alpha of the pack. He leads this team on missions that no one else will touch, operating less like shocktroopers and more like an elite team of commandos. Each of Opress's Savages has something that makes them unique within the group. While his predecessor's had been his almost sexual level of enjoyment for death and destruction, Mavros's is a cold, efficient approach to combat.

His cold detached outlook paired with his talent, and devotion to his skill with a lightsaber have lead many to label him as a heartless commander. But he could care less for what others think of him, he lets the success of his team speak for itself. Where the First Dreadbringer sought to batter Opress's enemies into submission through sheer force, the Second will use any and all methods to achieve victory. This makes him a dangerous and hated enemy to any combat traditionalists.

Lightsaber

Aleister Mavros carried and used a standard issue armory saber with a red blade as a noviate and a journeyman. Upon reaching knighthood he began carrying a curved-hilt duelist saber as it better fit his preferred style of combat. Eventually replacing this with a custom hilt.

Mavros makes us of a single lightsaber, crafted by his own hand using ancient teachings and materials sourced from across the galaxy. Constructed of strange alloys developed by Mavros himself, with the aid of master smiths. It is rumored to be made of agrinium, durite, and haysian smelt, depending on who you ask. Mavros refuses to divulge the exact metallurgy used, and has silenced any who were present for the construction. Experts in the field of lightsaber construction have identified that Mavros's saber must use a set of rubat crystals as the focusing crystals, due to the incredibly clear and focused blade, but they are split on the nature of it primary crystal. Its deep blood-red color unlike that of a bled kyber crystal. This has lead some to believe that it does not use a kyber as its primary crystal.

Heraldry

Heraldry is a broad term, encompassing the design, display, and study of armorial bearings, as well as related disciplines, such as vexillology, together with the study of ceremony, rank, and pedigree. As a student of history and tradition, Aleister Mavros has dedicated a great deal of his time and energy to, not only the development of his own heraldry, but the overall study of the craft. And while he has not yet served in the offices of the Herald as his predecessor did, he has expressed a desire to do so in the future. Mavros's personal heraldry is primarily focused around the use of a heraldic achievement, a field use warbanner, and the various pieces of official formal attire he wears.

Coat of Arms

After receiving his knighthood Mavros adopted a set of arms of his own design. These arms are blazoned as follows:

Sanguine, a bordure argent a dragon sergeant sable. Upon a stormtrooper helm argent with a wreath argent and sanguine a vol argent with a dagger sanguine, mantled sanguine doubled argent. On either side a wyvern argent, tongued sanguine. Motto "Asha Hyal Azinimas" in the compartment below the shield, upon a scroll sanguine with argent medals of the orders of the Grand Master's Royal Guard, the Shadow Academy, the Sith, the Shroud Syndicate, and the Inquisitorious.

The motto, Asha Hyal Azinimas, translated literally, is: "Victory Craves Knowledge". This sentiment is evident throughout the full achievement with the dragon charge representing a "Guardian of all knowledge", the wyvern supporters representing "Valor & protection", the vol in the crest representing "Swiftness & protection", the dagger in the crest representing someone who is "Ready for battle", and the Stormtrooper helm representing his heritage as a soldier of the Empire. The full achievement is depicted in the form of a large colored mural in the owner's suite and common area of Mavros's personal GX1 Short Hauler.

Warbanner

While on the field of battle, or attending official gatherings, Mavros flies a warbanner crafted by the office of the Herald. The banner itself is made of a dark red satin fabric and cut in the stately pattern with ornate trim. It has no other striping or patterns and simply bears the black sergeant dragon of his coat of arms. The banner is supported on silver rails and adorned with a Plagueis logo medallion, tassets of the Grand Master's Royal Guard, Inquisitorious, Shadow Academy Society, and the Sith Order. It also carries the sashes of a Magistrate to the Herald, this is despite Mavros never serving in that office.

Formal Attire

Now, while Mavros prefers to wear his personal attire, he does have several formal outfits that he wears for different functions. These outfits range from the uniform of an Iron Legion Officer to the robes of an accomplished Shadow Academy student.

Chief Inquisitor Armor

The armor of a Chief Inquisitor is a set of advanced armor consisting of a cuirass with pauldrons and tassets, boots, gloves and cowl. It is designed to optimize movement and flexibility while remaining absolutely silent, though still affording a reasonable amount of protection from harm. It emphasizes form as well, remaining sleek and intimidating in appearance to align with the expectations of the individual. Despite his devotion to the Sith, Mavros acknowledges the mistake it would be to wear bright red in this role and elects to wear an all black version of the armor.

Fellow Robes

Known as Fellow Robes, this is a set of armor granted to accomplished students of the Shadow Academy. It consists of crystal embedded pauldrons connected by a chain at the neck, as well as a large belt holding an emblem at the center and a series of additional crystals on either side. It also has an armor chestplate, gauntlets, and greaves. A tunic bearing the emblem of the Shadow Academy completes the ensemble with a black body suit. Mavros's personal set of robes are tailored in the bright crimson that denotes him as a member of the Sith Order.

Legion Officer's Uniform

Easily the outfit that Mavros will wear the least, due to his stance that a Sith ranks above a member of the common military any day, the Iron Legion Uniform consists of a double-breasted tunic with a round collar and matching trousers, a long jacket, a pair of black boots, a belt and a command cap. While free of medals and battle ribbons, it features various rank insignia including a metal plaque, several code cylinders, and officer's disks. When he does don this attire, usually for formal military events, Mavros will forgo the use of the command cap.

Possessions

A creature of luxury and excess, Aleister Mavros lives a very opulent and lavish lifestyle. His quarters on Aliso are an ever rotating collection of personal mementos, trophies, and other collectibles. This includes the collection of holocrons, scrolls and tomes he has acquired during his times in the Shadow Academy. As well as a locker filled with the tools and equipment, and a collection of access cards granting him access to various Brotherhood facilities.

Ship

Among his most valuable possessions is Mavros's personal ship the (insert name here), a heavily modified GX1 Diplomatic Short Hauler. The GX1 Diplomatic Short Hauler is a 37-meter long Shuttle designed as a diplomatic vessel for extended missions and tours of constituencies. Hyperdrive capable, this vessel has poor maneuverability and average speed, with light armor. It is also known as the "Lantillian Short Hauler", and can be piloted from a secondary pod that detaches from the primary hull equipped with its own compact hyperdrive allowing passengers to escape dangerous situations if necessary.

The (insert name here) is armed with a GX1's standard dual laser turret and an aftermarket ion cannon turret. It has had all of its systems and hardware updated current standards, making it almost on-par to more recently constructed vessels, and its interior converted to provide the epitome of luxury and comfort, befitting Mavros's preferences. The ship has also been outfitted with an experimental communications array, allowing encrypted communication that can only be intercepted by the intended target. And an external hard dock allowing light freighters and smaller crafts to dock and travel attached to the ship.

The (insert name here) is not a subtle ship, with its outer components being painted a matte black accented with bight gold and deep red. And its silhouette is easily recognizable with its under-mounted secondary pod and tall side fins that stand straight up while on the surface.

BARC Speeder

Equally valuable is Mavros's Biker Advanced Recon Commando (BARC) Speeder. A Speeder Bike designed as a scouting and escort vehicle for operating in a wide range of environments and missions. Mavros uses it as his primary ground transport and exploration vehicle. In fitting with his preference for the finer things in life, Mavros's BARC Speeder has been fitted with all of the trimmings of luxury. From a climate control system, to imported Bantha-hide seats, no expense was spared in ensuring that this vehicle not only looks good, but feels good too.

And while he is a skilled rider, Mavros is often preoccupied while riding. As such his BARC Speeder has been fitted with an advanced droid brain, that enables Mavros to focus on non-driving tasks while this BARC Speeder takes over the tasks of moving at one speed, at a predetermined trajectory, stopping only to avoid collisions with detected objects. This is to free his hands to do other tasks or even fight.

Pendant of the Sith Lords

Now while not nearly as expensive as his ship or speeder, one of Mavros's most precious possessions is his Pendant of the Sith Lords. The pendant is an ornate medallion depicting the emblem of the Sith at its center. The outer ring of the circular medallion holds a trim design of interweaving lines, while the pendant itself hangs upon a silver chain.

This pendant is precious to him as it was a gift from his late predecessor Wrathus, and acted as the key that released him from the stasis field that held him captive under the surface of Dromund Kaas. He wears it at all times, not only to show his devotion to the Sith, but to remind himself that as long as he has the Force, nothing can hold him forever. As the Sith Code says; Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
