"There are few things that can't be measured. Of those, the Force is the only one that matters."
―Aul Celsus

Dr. Aul Celsus is a Human Gray Jedi who is a current member of Clan Naga Sadow. Celsus' quest for truth has resulted in his travel across the galaxy and landed him in the rolls of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He is an apprentice to Darkblade.

Character History

Early Life

Aul had a good relationship with his mother, a medical doctor at a local hospital. He knew little of his father, who was not present for his birth or childhood.

As Celsus' mother was rarely home, he spent much of his childhood alone, exploring the humid, lower levels of Coruscant. In contrast to the clean and well-maintained upper levels of Coruscant, he found that the lower levels held much more mystery to unlock. Aul found particular interest in the ability for life to thrive in conditions of such little light and seemingly no nutrient source. At an early age, he begin to build a significant knowledge of how to guide and cultivate living organisms and would often take small microbial collections from the run-off of buildings and, using simple techniques he learned from books checked out at his sector's library, isolated purified clones of bacteria in food gelatin. The end goal was always amusement; Celsus found particular joy pondering on the nature of the minuscule world he looked down on with a microscope given to him for a New Year's gift.

University

Aul Celsus attended the University of Coruscant in 24 ABY, where he studied molecular and cellular biology and graduated with a doctorate in 30 ABY with a dissertation on improved cloning methods, built on the work of famed cloner Nala Se.

A Journey of Discovery

After his graduate studies, Aul found he needed to leave the lab behind. During his last years of studies, he found himself constantly distracted, his experiments never being quite good enough to leave him satisfied. Never one to leave a loose end, he finished his schooling and booked the first ship he could off Coruscant. He spent the next two years traveling from world to world, criss-crossing the galaxy studying the complex life forms that sprung up on the seemingly endless diversity of planets. He traveled with a small, mobile lab that allowed him basic genetic and protein analysis, a compact, high-powered microscope, and a digital notebook that he considered nearly as important as his own life and never spent too much time in one place.

The Dream

Celsus recalls a life-changing dream he had in the early part of 32 ABY. He was sleeping in the mess bay of a small, dingy cargo ship, having barely fallen asleep after pouring over a week's worth of notes trying to link up his observations with a feeling of urgency he felt whenever he touched a small, brightly colored crystal he collected days earlier. The stone seemed to vibrate, though it held no power source. In his dream, he was balancing on a single-plane threshold of a blaring white light and an endless, pitch darkness, staring an orb of energy that contain both no color and every color; no sound and every sound; radiating both incredibly hot and unbearably cold bursts of wind. He woke with the word "Truth" on the tip of his tongue. He vowed to commit the rest of his life to finding an explanation for this dream.

Dlarit and Reassignment

As Aul’s search grew ever more demanding, he found he needed funding. He turned to the Dlarit Corporation in 33 ABY and quickly rose in the ranks of their medical manufacturing division orbiting Tarthos, becoming a project manager for a number of highly confidential projects. It was during his time in Dlarit that he was identified as Force-sensitive by a member of Clan Naga Sadow, for which Dlarit is the public front, and was reassigned immediately to the Shadow Academy on Lyspair.

Shadow Academy

Celsus found himself again in Academia, though this time he was not at the same advantage as his previous life. So engrossed in the observable universe up until now, he found himself challenged by the concept of utilizing the unseen "energy" of the Force. He pushed forward with immense commitment, however, as he had never felt so close to the answer he so desperately sought: an explanation for the Dream. Celsus quickly completed his Novitiate training and was transferred back to Aeotheran on assignment to House Shar Dakhan.

Apprenticeship

Aul at the time of his Journeyman Trials

In 34 ABY, as a new graduate of Novitiate Hall, Aul Celsus was selected as the Apprentice of Darkblade, Quaestor of Shar Dakhan. Aul followed a strictly Gray path, in that he did not lean towards the Dark or Light aspects of the Force, in an effort to accept all of what the Universe revealed. Because of this, Aul was often uncomfortable when his Anzat Master would reveal his Dark Jedi leanings and expressed a heavy, dark presence. Despite this, they made for a good pair and Aul quickly gained in power and skill under the tutelage of Darkblade.
