"One who has freed themselves from all restrictions has reached perfection, their potential fulfilled. Perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny. Imagine it."

―Yuthura Ban

Ashura Isradia (also known as Alector Isradia on his homeworld) is a Sith Battlemaster and Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow.

Character History

"If you are to truly understand, then you will need the contrast, not adherence to a single ideal."

―Kreia

It was during the Ascension Wars that Illyana Isradia became pregnant with the unborn child of Jonaleth Isradia. Disturbed by her husband’s actions during the war, Isradia's wife committed suicide; the embryo was extracted from Illyana's womb and quickly placed into first available surrogate (a bondswoman by the name of Miya Konden). Seeing how consumed Isradia had become with the war, his trusted aid Erin decided not to tell him about the unborn child until after his victory.

Miya was taken offworld and went into hiding on Melachon. She eventually gave birth to baby boy whom she named Alector, however there were complication after child birth and she unfortunately died. Seeing how the infant had no mother or father, the doctors decided to report the baby too died, upon hearing this Erin decided to wipe all records of Illyana's child ever existing. Alector Isradia was orphaned on Melachon upon the conclusion of the Ascension Wars, a world now controlled by his father.

Tol Mustanen

Alector was fortunate enough to inherit Miya Konden's Bondsman status and was adopted into the Imperial House on Melachon. As a member of the Iperion, Alector learned how to use Vardorian magic, as well as taught diplomacy, history, sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat. He was well liked by many members of the Melachon Isradias, especially by Korvalis Isradia who adopted Alector as his son. Alector Isradia left Melachon with his adopted father for Tol Mustanen on Vardor: Korvalis was made Panarch and Viscount of Tol Mustanen, and Alector became the Dane of Tol Mustanen.

Alector began to have strange dreams about the Rose Goddess; the teenager chalked it up to living in the ancient capital of Vardor: the birthplace of the Iperion. The dream was the same every night and he would always wake up with it being incomplete. The Dane began to wonder if there was something more to this dream but decided not to tell his adopted father about them, he didn’t want the Viscount to worry as Korvalis had to deal with increased tension with Minor House Lutah whose lands boarded with Tol Mustanen.

Rose Dreams

"There once was a maiden sleeping and as she slept and dreamed she beheld a steep and verdant hill. And around her the flaming anguish of suffering and so she descended to the hilltop to bask the huddled masses in her mercy and her solace, her beauty and her love. And thereupon the cold, suffering, downtrodden people saw her glorious mantle and at once knew passion. This passion they might have forgotten but for her beloved she left a single alabaster flower. And when the windswept flower was held aloft it's soft golden light burned away the dark ones, the Nightshades and the maiden's people saw their eternal predators wither and at once knew sanctuary."

―The High Priestess Aechemaa's saga of the Rose Goddess, Act 1, Scene 4

It was after reading Aechemaa's Sage that the dreams started to make sense. Every night Alector would fall asleep and the dream began the same. The Dane would find himself walking barefoot through a massive, cavernous complex that culminates in a majestic funeral bier atop a raised dais of palest marble. There was also this somber, silent, yet majestic decay with a holistic air of a dead time; it sent a shiver down Alector's spine ever time.

The craggy walls of the cave systems were etched for miles with a heavy runic script predating even ancient Mardorin. Beyond all common recollection or contemporary scholarship this runic alphabet was the basis, the very cornerstone of the most ancient Vardorian magic. Knowledge of this gift of the Rose Goddess herself, an enigmatic, long-dead language.

Alector recited the incantations on the hallowed walls as he wandered into the slumbering depths, the lined halls giving way to a massive mausoleum with crumbling statues erected in dedication to the infinite glory and wisdom of the Rose Goddess, and as the he approached the edifice, the burial sanctuary, his presence sent ripples through the crystalline ether of the Force, reverberating from the very funeral bier of the Lady of Beauty and Passion.

Alector's recollection of the events of the incantation’s culmination was always a hazy blur, due in part to the dream landscape of the surreal, ethereal burial chamber. The sarcophagus was built on an ancient and massive stone archway, itself the focal apparatus of an unspeakably ancient hypergate. It was at this point that Alector always woke up, but night after all these years the dream continued.

The crumbling anchor, imbued with the very essence of the Force, had welled up and suffused the entirety of the repository in its quantum energy. These energies caused the last vestiges of the old hypergate's relativistic shielding to collapse, melting away and bathing Alector in streams of quantum energies.

In that moment Alector saw the Grand Duke of Vardor, Jonaleth Isradia, standing next to the sarcophagus holding the legendary Rose of Millions, a tiny holocron-like device which encapsulated accumulated knowledge of countless generations of priests in the service of the Rose Goddess, and beckoning the young man to join him.

Joining the Brotherhood

"The strength of the dark side lies with the power of the individual. The Force comes from within. You must learn to draw on it yourself. I will not always be there to teach you."

―Darth Bane to his apprentice

Alector finally told his adopted father about the dreams and the latest one involving the Grand Duke. Korvalis told Duke Erin Isradia, Exarch of the Imperial House, about his sons dream. Erin had never met the lad but upon his first meeting with the Dane, he saw that the son of Illyana Isradia was alive and well. In secret he told Korvalis the truth about Alector; the Viscount was shocked that he adopted the lost son of Jonaleth Isradia.

Erin and Korvalis decided not to tell Alector the truth, the young man seemed adamant about talking to the Grand Duke about his dream. Jonaleth wasn’t on Vardor, the Dark Side Adept was had been spending a lot of time with the Brotherhood of the Dark Jedi. The Dane of Tol Mustanen decided to needed to travel offworld and go to this “Dark Brotherhood”, even if it meant he had to become a Dark Jedi. As he set off Erin gave the young Isradia a datapad to give to the Grand Duke saying it was for “his eyes only”.

Arriving on the moon Lyspair of Antei, the Initiate joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and began his training to Apprentice. Alector had chosen the Order of the Sith due to thier interesting history, he found it all very fascinating. Being the dedicated student he was Isradia began to learn within the four towers of the academy: In the Khar Shian tower he was instructed on the basics of holonet usage, protection against computer security breaches, and leadership skills. It was in the Deneba tower that Alector learned about the lore and philosophy of the Dark Side. The Onderon tower was by far Alector’s favorite as he learned about tactics and flight relating to the Sith Order. Time after time Alector would return to his bed after a long day at the Karana tower, exhausted from lightsaber training (using training sabers) and hand-to-hand combat. Upon passing the Test of Lore Alector was promoted to the rank of Apprentice; his graduation from the Shadow Academy meant he was about to join the Clan the Grand Duke was a member of.

He joined Clan Plagueis just after it was created from the ashes of two dying Clan's. Apprentice Isradia set about finding the Tharchion of the Imperial House, however this proved more of a challenge then he originally thought. Whilst he searched for information about Isradia's whereabouts, Alector slowly advanced through the ranks and began to make himself at home within Clan Plagueis; little did he know that curious sapphire blue eyes were watching him ever since he arrived.

Personality

"By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe."

―Alector's personal motto

Motivation	To gain new knowledge and discover the truth behind it.
Personality	Noble, Just, Honest, Faithful, Curious, Smart, Determined, Lustful, Inexperienced, Thrill Seeker.
Nature	Inquisitor, Negotiator, Perfectionist, Soldier
Hatreds	Injustice, Lies, Deceit, Disrespect.

Alector Isradia is motivated by the ongoing pursuit of knowledge and to learn the hidden truths buried within; knowledge is the pathway to enlightenment and truth is the realization behind this. The achievement of enlightenment is the gateway to perfection. Alector's logic behind this is based on the two fundamental teachings of the One Path his grandfather taught him: True Ascension cannot be achieved unless all parts of a being are both one, and strong. AND Power is defined as "the ability to do or act" and "the possession of control or command".

He appears to others as being formal, just, honest and well educated. His curiosity and lack of experience often gets him into mischief due to the thrill waiting to be discovered. Alector will also often pursue something with lustful determination regardless where it would lead. When interacting with others he maintains his noble upbringing and sticks to titles, ranks and surnames; unless in private where such formalities can be dropped. He was taught to behave respectfully to everyone, and expects the same treatment in return. The one thing he cannot tolerate is injustice and will often seek to bring the balance back to what he believes to be good and true.

When using the Force, Alector has different philosophical views about it than most. This is mainly because on his homeworld the Force is known as "magic" and has a mystical feel to it; although he has learned more about it over the years he still sees it as so. In combat he will try and stay out of physical confrontation due to his lack of strength and resilience, and simply use the Force to its fullest extent with telekinetics and other abilities; if he is forced into a duel than he'll bolster his strength, resilience and agility as much as possible. His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness.

Appearance

File:Alector Young2.jpg

Young Alector

It's surprising that the son of Ashura Isradia looks nothing like his father. Whilst Ashura has azure eyes and white hair; Alector doesn’t bare any of those traits. If anything, the young man looks more to be the son of Jonaleth Isradia and Isabelle Lutah.

Although he is genetically Ashura's son, he is also genetically Jonaleth's grandson. The reason for this is due to something known as the Isradia Factor. This is something he inherited from his father.

Alector's genetic inheritances from Jonaleth Isradia include those piercing eyes that seem to look right through people and things, and that also glow during states of heightened concentration or emotion. He also inherited Jonaleth's sharpness of features and black hair. His green eyes are something he inherited from his mother, however. Isabelle Lutah's eyes are the only distinctive appearance for anyone to notice his genetic inheritances from House Lutah.

Trivia

• Alector's origin as the Supplicant was taken and developed from "Shattered Light", the source document of Isradia family canon, from the single sentence; The portal is keyed to only activate to a Force user of enormous power, once every thousand years as the planets come into alignment. This the foundation the character is built on.
• Alector's principle character development was inspired by the following fictional characters: Kid Omega, Nero (as Ashura is inspired by Dante), Cloud Strife, from the Star Wars universe Zannah and Starkiller
• Alector's run in with the CoJ is a nod to my own encounter; it also is a great plot device to get him onboard the Republic-class Star Destroyer Final Way for three months.
• Alector's name is based on the Alectors, a race of people with powers very similar to the Force.
• Alector's DSOG rank reflects fictional time spent within Clan instead of reflecting DB rank. This is to open up greater possibilities for character development.
• Alector is a two stage character; stage one is above, stage two is a rewrite of his history to follow a natural progression of his age and will take place after 40 ABY.
• Alector starts as an Equite level character, and as such developed high mental attributes but low physical attributes. This means he's Force dependant on all physical feats. This dependence on the Force is his greatest weakness, despite his many other flaws.
• Alector possesses a unique tattoo on the back of his left hand, depicting a stylised dragon. This is the symbol of his connection to Cipher; they are connected in a way only one other knows.
• Alector is the first next generation Dark Jedi; a true amalgam of Dark Brotherhood canon using the DJBWiki articles as a source. Special thanks goes out to all those who gave permission for their characters to be involved in his character development.
• The Repository of the Rose Goddess section was written by Vorion as the winning entry to my Quaestor Black Guard competition. This version of Alector's history is different than his family canon version. Again, Alector is a true amalgam character.
• Joseem Maruuch created images of Alector shown in charactor infobox and Appearance section as winning entries part of the Clan graphics competition I ran.
