Farrin Xies is a member of the Krath Order as well as a member of Battle Team Jen Kaari, House Tarentum. He currently holds the rank of Jedi Hunter and is studying for his elevation to Dark Jedi Knight under the tutelage of his Master, Apollo, more commonly known as Hades. He is qualified for the Antei Combat Center, is a member of the Grand Master's Royal Guard (first rank), and is a Super Senior (rank VI) in the Shadow Academy Society. Previously, he went under the alias Nassin Zye. His personal motto is Audentes Fortuna Iuvat - Fortune favors the bold.

Character History

Birth (4 ABY) Through Childhood

Farrin was born to Cristobal and Irena Xies in Coronet, the capital city of Corellia. An only child, his younger years were very happy as his parents constantly strove to provide the best of everything and, as fairly high-ranking Corellian Security Force (or CorSec) officers, there were certainly credits to spare for the task. His early childhood was filled with toys and playdates with other children that lived in their apartment complex.

Teen (16 ABY)

Farrin's teen life was one of comfort. He attended some of the better public schools, was fairly popular amongst his peers, and continued to be well provided for by his parents. Farrin was a rather ambivalent member of the Sub-Adult Group, a division of the COMPNOR during his childhood and continuing on during his teen years. When CorSec was dismantled in 7 ABY, his parents both joined its successor, the Public Safety Service.

Adulthood (21 ABY)

Due to his membership in the Sub-Adult Group, unenthusiastic as it was, as well as his stellar marks in school, the Imperial Security Bureau sought Farrin to join their ranks. Due to the impressive signing bonus as well as the esteem he felt that they were held in, the decision was an easy one of Farrin's part. He eventually rose to become one of the most trusted couriers of ISB Central Command, later followed by the Council of Moffs.

It was on a routine run for the Council of Moffs that Farrin's unmarked shuttle was disabled by New Republic forces an hour's flight outside Theed on the planet of Naboo. The flight crew and the four stormtroopers assigned to guard him were killed in front of him, but Farrin was taken for questioning, where he was tortured. After four days of this horrible treatment, trying to gain the information safely ensconced in his head, Farrin reached his breaking point. Using The Force for the first time, he broke from his bonds and lashed out at his attackers before fleeing.

The Emperor's Hammer (21 ABY - 29 ABY)

On the run and attempting to teach himself the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, Farrin ran afoul of the Intelligence Directorate of an Imperial breakaway fleet known as the Emperor's Hammer. Because of his budding Force powers, instead of being tortured yet again Farrin instead enrolled in the Shadow Academy of the (Emperor's Hammer) Dark Brotherhood - he did not know at this time of the distinction between it and the post-Exodus Dark Brotherhood. He quickly grew in power and prestige, eventually rising to lead this Dark Brotherhood's Shadow Academy as its Headmaster and obtaining the rank of Dark Side Adept. Additionally, using the Dark Side to aid him along the way, he took on various positions within the Emperor's Hammer Directorate that oversaw the various planetary holdings within the Strike Fleet, rising rapidly through the ranks of this organization as well to become a Duke and lead it as its Grand Moff. Because of his station, he was also given the honorary rank of Admiral within the Emperor's Hammer. For someone who had previously served as a simple courier for Moffs, to command entire systems was a heady task, especially for someone who had not yet seen thirty.

After serving with distinction as the leader of the Emperor's Hammer Directorate for some time, Farrin grew disillusioned with politics and sought to deepen his study of the Dark Side. The Dark Brotherhood of the Emperor's Hammer, however, was on the decline, and it was for that reason that when he heard reports that the "rebel" Dark Brotherhood was thriving after the "Split" (their term for the Exodus), he secretly boarded his private shuttle and piloted it himself to Antei

Once he reached Antei, Farrin assumed the name of Nassin Zye to mask who he was - relations between the Emperor's Hammer and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood at this time were still uneasy, and he didn't want his budding career to be jeopardized. He made the decision early on to treat this as a chance to start his life anew, and so began working his way up from the ranks of Apprentice just as any "normal" new recruit would. As a member of House Marka Ragnos of Clan Naga Sadow, he moved swiftly through the ranks to Jedi Hunter, serving along the way briefly as a Battleteam Sergeant of the Shadow's Bane Battleteam and also as a Battleteam Leader of the now-defunct Night Falcons Battleteam. In late 31 ABY, Farrin resigned his positions and left his House and Clan, exiling himself to the swamp planet of Dagobah. He had received the troubling news of the death of his beloved parents on Corellia, and in his mourning he felt it necessary to make a break from everything which he knew. Dagobah, most famous for being the former home of the exiled Jedi Grand Master Yoda, served as a welcome place for Farrin to come to terms with his losses and where he was in his life.

Return from Exile (38 ABY-Present)


"My name is Farrin Xies, and I am a Dark Jedi. I serve the Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood in Antei, and that is our destination. Come, it's time for us to leave Dagobah."
― Farrin, to the Rodian smugglers who would take him back to Antei

After nine years on Dagobah, a leaner and wiser Farrin decided that it was time to rejoin the galaxy after continuously having visions of his dead mother instructing him to return "home." Therefore he took it as a nudge of fate when his exile on the swampy planet was disturbed for the first time by off-worlders - two Rodians who had crash-landed on Dagobah during a smuggling run gone awry. Using parts from the shuttle that had brought him to the planet years previously that he had dismantled shortly after his arrival, Farrin was able to assist the smugglers with repairing the hyperdrive and other critical components of their freighter that had been damaged. In return for his assistance, the Rodians agreed to take him off the planet.

After navigating the Shroud, Farrin headed immediately to the Dark Hall on Antei to petition the Master at Arms for readmittance into the Brotherhood to renew his training. Accepted back, he threw off the mantle of his assumed name and joined the former Clan, now House Tarentum, the same House he had been a part of in his younger years in the Dark Brotherhood that remained behind under the Emperor's Hammer. Farrin threw himself into his studies in an effort to make up for the time lost on his Trials of Knighthood, spending a significant amount of time in the halls of the Shadow Academy and working hard to become a valuable member of his House.

Though he felt that he was close, he knew that the road to finally achieving his lightsaber and the title of Dark Jedi Knight would take still more effort on his part; in order to assist, after much meditation and conversation with his Quaestor, Scion Altera, Farrin contacted a grizzled veteran of both the Emperor's Hammer and the Dark Brotherhood, Apollo. Known more commonly as Hades, he agreed to take Farrin on as a student in order to push him to succeed in the last of his requirements. Together with his Master, Farrin was a common sight among the other Journeymen of Tarentum training, but also spent a significant amount of time in meditation and study on The Sword's Sheath, the former headquarters of House Gladius and Hades' home.

Personality

Before his self-exile to Dagobah, Farrin was marked by the typical Krath aloofness and tendency toward bookishness while still showing a love of life and passion. While he is generally ready with a quick joke, since his return to the Brotherhood, he can sometimes charitably be called cold. The loss of his parents, who though he had become estranged from he still felt a close emotional connection to, had left him a changed man, and his isolation on Dagobah hadn't much helped. He is very loyal to his House and to the Brotherhood as a whole. In a fight, he is known to take the easiest way out; if there is a shortcut or some sort of "questionable" maneuver, he is not above utilizing it in an effort to ensure it's not a fair fight.
