Character History

Early Life

Eric Cato doesn't remember much of his past, including his parents or home world. He was kidnapped at a young age and brought to a mobile dueling facility being run by an elite crime organisation known as the Initiative. It moved from one location to another to avoid detection, having discovered an astrogation list of dozens of usable landing areas. He was raised as a dueling slave, forced constantly to prove himself in battle or suffer heavy consequences and possibly death. As he survived his trials and grew into a capable warrior, he discovered his powers with the Force despite not knowing its name.

By his late teens he was devising ways to escape using his new abilities. After a year of planning, he and several other slaves formulated a way to break free and murder their captors. They broke out of their cells, captured a small but fast freighter and left a path of destruction behind them as passing revenge.

Entering Adulthood

As a young adult he worked as a barman and bouncer near the Marina District in Keren on Naboo. His rough upbringing made him an asset to the bar when situations were explosive. Pay was little but as a benefit he stayed in one of the rooms above the bar. He earned a strong reputation within a year as damages were at an all time low. The owner of the establishment, a Twi'lek named Dell, hired him on in a new business venture as bounty hunter with a crew of 6 in exchange for a substantial debt. An impounded Ghtroc Class 720 freighter was purchased and designated The Ryloth Damsel. The name was to add further insult to injury as the previous criminal owner had painted a giant risque Twi'lek on the side of the ship. The crew started with local bounties until drawing too much attention to themselves. Wanting to keep discrete, they moved business off-world and traveled the galaxy shipping goods, passengers and serving bounties wherever they could find work. A large portion of profits went into improving the freighter and over the next several years Erik would call it his home.

Thirst for Knowledge and Power

As the years passed, Erik excelled as a seasoned spacer and traveled to many worlds. He discovered clues about the Force mostly through spoken legend and bounties. His adventures across the galaxy would ultimately lead him to be seduced by the dark side's power. An obsession for Sith knowledge slowly alienated him from his fellow crew members. At 24 he finally found information relating to the location of Clan Naga Sadow in the Sepros system. He sold most of his belongings to clear all past debts and parted ways from the Ryloth Damsel. With little resources left, he made arrangements to search for the mysterious and powerful clan. His presence in the force made him easy to spot and he was soon discovered by Sadowans on Aeotheran. His apprenticeship began under Lilith Stormwind-Versea.

Arrival to the Brotherhood

As soon as he was inducted into the clan he went through a series of trials to determine various levels of skill. His combat prowess was deemed to be very advanced however he lacked in many other fundamental areas. He was dispatched to the Paladin under the care of the Shadow Academy to receive additional training. He progressed fast in a variety of subjects and took very well to using a lightsaber. As Naga Sadow was experiencing a tumultuous time it was deemed necessary to bring Erik Cato to combat status during states of emergency despite his low status in the clan.

The Rise to Knighthood

Erik would go through a trial by fire in his first clan offensive against an illegal mining base built in the jungles of Aeotheran. The base was built over several years by a pirate group known as the Flaming Gizkas. The apprentice would join Jurdan Krennel and a squad of warhost solders to break through the perimeter defenses and disable the anti-air systems. Although casualties were high the mission was ultimately successful.

His presence was again called to the jungle planet as the industrious city of Seng Karash. It was subject to a series of terrorist attacks lead by mercenaries and monstrous abominations. Taking position with his master at an emergency medical facility, he assisted as both guardian and force healer. The facility was nearly overrun by group of blaster resistant abominations during the height of the conflict but the two sadowans and those able to still fight were able to hold their ground until the horrific invaders were defeated. After the events of the terrorist attacks, Erik was granted the rank of knight for his exceptional service in devotion to the clan.

Physical Description

Though athletically toned his tall height gives a perception of some lankiness. He is usually dressed in fitted matte-black armour with a cloak for further concealment. His face is recognizable by its tiny scars, facial piercings, prominent cheek bones and thin lips. Short, militaristic black hair is combed back to reveal a sharp under-shave. Tattoos cover a large portion of his upper body including arms, back, shoulders and above the collar bones of his chest. The eyes are pale blue with a hint of gold when not bearing the mark of the dark side. His voice carries a broken, aristocratic lilt and a low tone as part of his forced upbringing.
