Altheseus Levathan is a man who has lost his past. His mind is filled with holes in his memories to the point where his childhood and adolescence is nothing more than a few images and short recollections, thus making him socially inept, prone to speaking his mind with absolute bluntness and being curious about everything. This causes him to pursue tangents of thought, lore or research for extended periods of time (at times, for years).
Character History
Childhood
Levathan’s memories of childhood are limited to say the least. There are only two recollections are accessible, his earliest memory, was that he was raised on a cold yet sylvan world away from civilization, and that of a being he knew simply as grandfather, trained and conditioned him in the martial arts of hand to hand combat and the use of staff and sword. He does not recall the actual name of his “grandfather,” however the skills taught to him are recalled by his body more than his mind.
Awakening
Levathan’s earliest continuous memory, was that of being woken up on a mercenary ship by a former republic soldier known only as Regis. According to the solder, the mercenaries had retrieved a single capacity escape pod of unknown design or origin as they were passing through the Bonadan system on their way to The Shroud through the Hydian Way hyperspace route, in order to take up a contract for the Brotherhood. He was then forced into servitude to the mercenary band cleaning and maintaining they’re ship for a short time, before one of the mercenaries decided to point a blaster at him and attempted to place a slave collar on his neck, likely to be sold as a slave to the brotherhood. It was then that his body, sensing the danger, proceeded to protect himself from harm. (it is later revealed by the instruction at the academy that he sensed the danger because of his Force sensitivity.)
When the mercenary ship arrived at the Tarentum controlled outpost, just outside the The Shroud. Levathan was the only living being to exit the ship, blood in various hues covered his sleeves and splattered across his face. The Dark Jedi that greeted him only had a cold smile on her face, before sending him to the Shadow Academy.
Journeyman
Levathan’s time as a journeyman has been an extended one. Since the beginning of his training at the Shadow Academy through to his subsequent transfer to Tarentum and his (relatively) quick rise through the ranks of the Journeyman, he has been in pursuit of knowledge. This, in turn, led him to join the Krath Order for its basis in acquiring knowledge. This is the result from having lost his memories and thus he seeks to find some clue, some shred or whisper of knowledge that can lead him to his past. However behavior is contradicted by the fact that his pursuit of knowledge has lead him in directions that are unlikely to lead to the answers of his childhood; knowledge such as Dark Brotherhood history, rumors of ancient artifacts or even scientific knowledge that he finds interesting.
This behavior has particularly stunted his advancement in the brotherhood; the pursuit of esoteric knowledge as opposed to knowledge and practice in the Force. He frequently left the Brotherhood, by various methods, to traverse the galaxy in search of whatever had caught his interest, infrequently returning from time to time. This action, in particular has essentially made him a very long standing Jedi Hunter. However it has also left him with a wide and varied view of the known galaxy and its species, thus making him mild mannered as esoteric himself.
Upon his most recent return to the Brotherhood and Tarentum, he found himself in the middle of an event that shook the Brotherhood and his clan to the core; the [Horizon – The Cure|Horizon] event. He joined his Quaestor DJM Anshar Khan, in an attempt to discover the source of the virus and help to stop it out of a renewed obligation to his House and his home. Levathan had seen the devastation this event caused across the Brotherhood and subsequently decided that it was his time to settle down, at least for now, and focus on assisting his house in whatever way necessary. Needless to say, he is determined not to let his mind lead him off jaunting through the galaxy for a while.

Character
Appearance
Levathan can only be described as colourless, silver haired, grey eyed and pale, chalk like skin. However when particularly strong emotions overcome him, his eyes turn a shade of burnished gold, almost seeming to glow. With a preference for dark, lose clothing, he can almost always be seen in his order robes.
Near-Human
Levathan appears in most ways to be simply a very pale human with and strange feature to his eyes. Bio scans cannot penetrate very deeply into his body or genetic structure, but they have shown that he has several peculiarities such as increased bone density, and a higher acidity to his blood rendering it a darker colour. However these differences seem to only be superficial, thus for all intents and purposes he is very close to human.
Personality
Having lost his childhood and adolescence, his emotions are closed off, yet sudden. Not one to outwardly smile, laugh or appear anything but stoic, he has bouts of emotions that can change in an instant, from laughing one moment to fury the next. When communicating with others he is also very blunt, saying exactly what is on his mind with little or no consideration to the consequences, usually only realizing said consequences after the fact.
