==History==
For a brief history of House Marka Ragnos before its formation, [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus#Brief History|refer here]]
When House Marka Ragnos was formed it needed someone that could be trusted and had experience in leading; thusly [[Sith Warrior]] Ximeno, the former Sith Commander of [[House Naga Sadow]] and a trusted colleague of Tron, was named the first [[Quaestor]] of House Marka Ragnos.  Soon even the most devoted had to find their own way of dealing with the darkside and [[Sith Warrior]] Ximeno left command of Marka Ragnos. [[Proconsul]] Robert Daragon took over as it's Quaestor stepping down as Proconsul.


After sometime as the [[Consul]], Tron decided to further his studies in the darkside, but to do this he would have to leave the [[clan]] and step down as Consul. His replacement was his much trusted friend and former [[Aedile]] and Proconsul, [[Robert Daragon]].  With his appointment to Consul, Marka Ragnos' Quaestor was once again opened up. [[Obelisk Templar|Obelisk Warrior]] Raistlin took his place as Quaestor, leaving the position of Aedile for this role.

Robert Daragon, however, found to have many disagreements with some of the Dark Council's members that had been selected during Grand Master Stryker's tenure. He could not stand to act as if he was blindly leading the clan while these disagreements continued to progress further and further. He stepped down and Eagleye was made Consul.
[[Category:Naga Sadow]]
 
Eagleye was in need of a new Proconsul and some Quaestors. He made John Striker his Proconsul, [[Krath Priest]] Xavier the Quaestor for Marka Ragnos, and Obelisk Warrior AceofDrkndHrts the Quaestor of Primus Goluud.
 
In time Krath Priest Xavier and his Aedile, [[Dark Jedi Knight]] William Flechette both stepped down and new replacements were needed. Tron, once again Consul, and his Proconsul John Striker saw a future in the advancement of two young Jedi, [[Dark Jedi Knight]] Aseret and [[Jedi Hunter]] Arkane Skywalker Maithal. Aseret became the Quaestor and Arkane the Aedile.
 
In time, the band of Dark Jedi gave into their anger, they felt they could become more powerful this way, but this only led to inner-house fighting. Krath Priestess Aseret and a handful of others left to join [[House Ektrosis|Ektrosis]] of [[Clan Taldryan|Taldyran]]. Dark Jedi Knight Arkane Maithal was also involved and willingly stepped down from his position. A new staff of leaders was needed for Marka Ragnos, [[Sith Battlelord|Battlelord]] Tron and [[Sith Battlemaster|Battlemaster]] Striker chose Dark Jedi Knight Mordann to lead this house, in turn Mordann chose Shonan Darksol to be his new Aedile.
 
Shonan Darksol soon left for other duties,however, and a [[Dark Jedi]] by the name of [[Trevarus Caerick|Trevarus]] became Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. In time, Marka Ragnos' Quaestor Mordann became Proconsul leaving Trevarus to become Quaestor of the [[Krath]] House, and a new Aedile, Dark Jedi Knight Enerum Shka, came into power.

===History Up To The Formation Of The House===
 
<em>See [[House Marka Ragnos Prospectus#Brief History|House Marka Ragnos Prospectus - Brief History]]</em>
 
===Early History===
 
Much of the history of the house pre-Split has been lost.  This section
is composed of what fragments were recovered by Clan historians.
 
The history of the house at its creation was somewhat chaotic.  The
first Quaestor of the multi-order House Marka Ragnos was Dark Jedi
Knight Ximeno, the Commander of the Sith Ravana Squadron in House Naga
Sadow.  The first Aedile was Dark Jedi Knight Raistlin.  However,
Ximeno's reign as Quaestor did not last long, and he was eventually
replaced by Robert Daragon, who had earlier stepped down as Proconsul of Clan
Naga Sadow.  Raistlin stayed on as Aedile.
 
When Robert Daragon was named as the next Consul his replacement was Dark Jedi Knight Raistlin.  At this point in the
house's history, the only known phyle in the house is the cimerii Sect.
Raistlin's Aedile was Dark Jedi Knight Aseret.  Under Raist's tenure the
house moved into its home on the forest moon of Lien in the Pirath
system before eventually moving to Loki in the Phare system.  Raist's
first Aedile was Dark Jedi Knight Aseret and his second was Dark Jedi
Knight William Flechette.
 
Raistlin fell victim to the Grand Master's reconstructing of the houses in
the Dark Brotherhood.  When houses became order-specific, it was
inevitable that some leaders would lose their positions, and this
happened to Raistlin.  At this point, the house became the Krath arm of
Clan Naga Sadow.
 
Raistlin's replacement was Krath Priest Aseret.  She named Dark Jedi
Knight Arkane Skywalker as Aedile and Jedi Hunter Enerum Shka as
Rollmaster.  The house established a rudimentary "Mentor" program headed
up by Jedi Hunter Reiam.  Aseret's reign only lasted one month, and she
was replaced by Mordaan.
 
===Mordaan===
 
Mordaan was originally in Clan Scholae Palatinae serving as Aedile of
House Caliburnus.  While the reasons for an outside appointment to the
Quaestorship are not absolutely known, it is proposed that a lack of
steady leadership in the house from within prompted an outside intervention.
 
A growing problem at the time was addressed by Mordaan.  "An upstart
organisation known as the Guild is trying to lure our members away from
us and infiltrate our organisation with spies. If anyone is contacted by
this organisation I would like to hear from you ASAP."  It is unknown
whether or not this problem was Brotherhood-wide or localized in the house.
 
For unknown reasons (perhaps related to "Guild" problem), Aedile Arkane
Skywalker was removed from his Aedile position by the Dark Council.  He
was made Tetrarch of the Cimerii sect.
 
However, Jedi Hunter Reiam, who served as the initial head of the Mentor
program, returned to the house to cause trouble and continually harassed
the house.  "Jedi Hunter Reiam blessed us with his presence again. Don?t listen
to his immature insults just carry on with the business at hand.
Eventually he will get bored of his petty grudge and leave us alone."
 
Mordaan replaced Arkane Skywalker with Dark Jedi Knight Shonan Darksol
as Aedile, and named Jedi Hunter Daihok as Rollmaster.  The Night Hawks
phyle was created (which still exists to this day) and its first
Tetrarch was Jedi Hunter Trevarus Caerick.  Another new phyle was
created, the "Black Omen," and its Tetarch is Enerum Shka.  The Night
Hawks are established as the elite phyle of the house.
 
Later, Mordaan named Dark Jedi Knight Trevarus Caerick Aedile of the
house.  The Cimerri Sect and Black Omen Phyles were either disbanded or
reorganized, and at the end of this process, the only two phyles in the
house were the Night Hawks and the Dark Scholars.
 
After several months as Quaestor, Mordaan resigned, and Aedile Treavus
Caerick rose to power.
 
===Trevarus Caerick===
 
Trevarus Caerick chose Dark Jedi Knight Enerum Shka has his Aedile and
immediately disbanded the Dark Scholars Phyle.  A lack of interest in
the Phyles forced him to force anyone above the rank of Acolyte to be
placed in a Phyle.  He also created a sophisticated system to root out
weaker and inactive members.
 
The reign of Trevarus Caerick saw the passing of a Great Jedi War.  In
his wisdom, he sought to archive the stories and writings of the house
by building a Dark Library.  Also, in addition to leading the Clan's
Krath House, Trevarus Caerick served as the Magistrate to the Krath High
Priest, marking a trend for members of the house to ascend to more
important positions in the Krath Order.
 
Treavarus Caerick sought to have the house's scholars challenge those
from other houses, and he succeeded in establishing such a competition
when the Night Hawks battled the Horsemen of the Apocalypse Phyle in
House Ektrosis of Taldyran.  The outcome of this battle is unknown.
 
After almost a half a year of service, Trevarus Caerick was elevated to
Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow.  Taking his place was Aedile Enerum Shka.
 
===Enerum Shka===
 
Enerum Shka's reign was plagued with unrest in the house.  Not only was
there insubordination in the ranks (it is unknown whether or not this
trend was DB-wide or only in the house), but he noticed a trend of
Phyles attempting to steal members from each other.  Enerum Shka
reminded the house that while a certain level of competition between the
Phyles was acceptable, that they would have to stand united against the
House's enemies.
 
Enerum Shka also planed and implemented the relocation of the Library of
Darkness established under Trevarus Caerick.  He established the "Dark
Librarian" position to tend to the libary.  He also proposed a System of
Mentors similar to the one attempted earlier in the house's history.
 
Enerum Shka was eventually removed by Trevarus Caerick.  He was replaced
by Krath Priest Rage.
 
===Rage===
 
Rage continued where Enerum Shka left off.  He implemented the house
mentor system proposed by his predecessor.  His reign witnessed
Operation Darkfall, the Brotherhood-wide competition.  The Clan as a
whole did well, but it is unknown how much House Marka Ragnos
contributed to the effort.
 
Rage named Krath Archpriest Daihok, former Rollmaster of the clan, as
his Aedile.
 
The house under Rage's reign lingered with low activity levels.  In an
effort to revitalize the house, Rage created a new ladder-based Phyle
system.  The Night Seekers would be the training phyle, the Night Death
would be the intermediate phyle, and the Night Hawks would remain the
elite Phyle of the house.  He proceeded to assign leaders and members to
the phyles.
 
Rage was replaced by Shae-Lynn Jade.
 
===Shae-Lynn Jade===
 
Shae-Lynn Jade began her term as Quaestor completing some of the tasks
started under Rage.  During her tenure, the Clan was embroiled in a
Great Jedi War in which the clan placed 2nd.
 
During her term, the Clan commenced its first Artisans Competition, a
tradition that continues to this day.  Other than that she provided
stable, yet unremarkable, leadership.
 
She was replaced by the clan Overlord, founder of the Clan, Krath
Pontifex Tron.
 
===Tron===
 
Tron transferred from the Sith Order to take the position.  His first
order of business was naming a new Aedile.  His choice was another
person from outside of the house, Krath Archpriestess Mairin Astoris.
 
Tron, being ever strict with the house roster, weeded out the inactives,
and throughout his reign the house stood at very few members, numbering
about fifteen.
 
Tron engaged the members of the house against other houses in the Dark
Brotherhood.  This included a couple of competitions and cooperative
missions with House Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae.  The clan as a
whole engaged Clan Satal Keto.
 
Tron changed the name of the Night Hawks to "Prophecy."  He named Jedi
Hunter Iylan Kano as tetrarch.  Very soon thereafter, Mairin was named
Krath High Priestess, and Iylan Kano took the vacant Aedile position.
 
However, even Tron stepped down, and was placed by his Aedile, Iylan Kano.
 
===Iylan Kano===
 
Iylan Kano chose former Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, Robert Daragon as Aedile.
 
Trevarus Caerick returned to the house, and when he found that his
beloved Night Hawks had been changed to Prophesy, he was furious.  He
insisted that the name be changed back to Night Hawks, and it was done.
 
Aedile Robert Daragon eventually moved to House Ludo Kressh, and Dark Jedi
Knight Neo was chosen as his replacement.  Unfortunately, Neo tragically
died in an accident shortly after getting the position.  Being his good
friend, Iylan Kano took a leave of absence from the house.  Since the
house did not have an active Quaestor or Aedile, Krath Pontifex Voranyen
was asked to take temporary command, which he returned to Iylan Kano
upon his return.
 
Krath Priest Khobai was chosen as as the new Aedile.  He started a
campaign to expand the membership of the house, which had been kept low
under Tron's reign.  The two also hoped to strengthen the clan by
introducing inter-phyle competition.
 
A few months later Khobai resigned and was replaced by Dark Jedi Knight
Jonuss Rai.  Iylan Kano took another extended leave of absence, leaving
Rai in charge almost immediately after being appointed Aedile.  The
house, in its weakened state, did poorly in the Dark Brotherhood's Stone
of Light competition, and this nearly drove Rai mad.  The house's poor
performance was noted by the Krath High Priest, who gave notice to Rai.
 
Eventually, Iylan Kano's lack of activity translated into a resignation,
and Rai became the new Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos.
 
===Rai===
 
The house's poor performance under Iylan Kano infuriated Rai, and he set
to undo this.  Rai was extremely hard on the members of the house,
demanding a great deal of effort on their part.
 
He initially named Robert Daragon (once again) as his Aedile, but Bob once again
left shortly after his appointment.  His replacement was Krath Priest
Tomaas Banys.
 
The recruitment phase begun under Khobai eventually was successful.  The
house numbered several dozen at the peak of Rai's tenure.  In addition,
Rai restored the house to a full complement of three Phyles.
 
However, Rai's tenure was chaotic.  Many internal and external struggles
within the house weighed on his mind, and at one point Rai thought about
resigning.  However he decided not to do so because he felt his presence
was the only thing keeping the house together.  They were dark times for
the house and Rai took it all in.  However, it eventually did take its
toll on Rai and he did resign.
 
===Tomaas Banys===
 
Aedile Tomaas Banys led the house as interim leader while a new Quaestor
was chosen.  In fact, this took several weeks, but eventually Tomaas
Banys was named Quaestor.  There was nothing remarkable about Tomaas
Bany's short tenure, except for the appointment of Ghost Angel, Tetrarch
of the Night Hawks, as Aedile.  She eventually became Quaestor.  This
leads the story of house to the split.
 
===History Post-Exodus===
 
With the schism between the Seven and the Imperial Remnant, the House was forced to evacuate their cathedral on Loki and follow the leadership of the Clan to the Orian system. 
 
===Ghostangel===
 
Under the leadership of Epis GhostAngel, they settled on the planet Tarthos to continue their studies and foster their knowledge of the Dark Side.
 
===Tron===
 
However, affected deeply by the schism and her need to leave many comrades behind, Ghost Angel soon stepped down from her position as Quaestor of the House.  The Overlord of the Clan, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, took up leadership of the House.  However, the Overlord was soon called away to other duties, allowing Archpriest Janos Silverwulf to step into the open position.
 
===Janos Silverwulf===
 
This marked the beginning of a period of great stability for House Marka Ragnos- for many months Janos Sadow kept
the House under tight control, allowing the members under his care to grow and prosper.  He was soon joined on the House Summit by Epis Tissaya Luna Argat, who served as Aedile of Marka Ragnos for several months.
 
===Korras===
 
One member under Janos' care would go on to particularly great things- Korras, who grew from a lowly Apprentice swiftly to soon serve as Aedile and then Quaestor of the House.  Meanwhile, two brothers Muz Ashen and
Nekura Manji Keibatsu took up positions as Tetrarchs of the two Phyles of Marka Ragnos- the Night Hawks and the Avatars of Death.
 
===Muz Ashen Keibatsu===
 
These two brothers would go on to serve as Quaestor and Aedile of the House, Muz (the elder) taking the reins as Quaestor and aided by his younger brother.  This marked a period of great prosperity for Marka Ragnos- under their command, Marka Ragnos was able to beat back the attacking K'hamar'ans and secure their palace on Tarthos.  The brothers soon learnt that other Clans had also faced K'hamar'an invasion- their achievements were recognised by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Naga Sadow granted the title of 'Second Clan of the Krath'.
 
===Nekura Manji Keibatsu===
 
Muz Ashen was soon named Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow.  Aedile Manji took his place as Quaestor.
 
===Kat Pridemore===
 
The reign of Kat Pridemore began as a particually good time for House Marka Ragnos.  Following Manji's incredible tenure as Quaestor, Kat continued in the steps he had begun.  House Marka Ragnos entered a time of constant activity and increases and membership.  J'Rai Sadow returned to service as Kat's Aedile, and together, the two had many months of success leading the House.
 
However, things would soon take a turn towards the worse, as personal issues would begin to affect the clan.  Affected negatively by these issues, Kat Pridemore began to withdraw from the Brotherhood, and with personal life hitting J'Rai Sadow as well, House Marka Ragnos began to deteriorate.  During the final months of Kat's tenure as Quaestor, the membership began to decline, new membership retention was done, house activity dropped to almost nothing.  Soon, however, fate would strike, and Kat Pridemore was selected as the new Proconsul for Clan Naga Sadow, opening the doors for the second reign of J'Rai Sadow.
 
===J'Rai Sadow===
 
J'Rai's second reign of House Marka Ragnos would be short.  After selecting Shikyo Keibatsu as his Aedile, he quickly began to implement a wide variety of changes to salvage what was left of House Marka Ragnos, and begin the long rebuilding process.  Illness would soon take J'Rai away from Marka Ragnos, as real life medical concerns finally forced him to resign.  Following his resignation was a bitter application process for the next Quaestor.
 
===Derev Niroth===
 
Following the resignation of J'Rai Sadow, Consul Manesh Sadow opened applications to the Clan for the next Quaestor.  Then Clan Rollmaster, Derev Niroth submitted his application, using his platform as Rollmaster to attempt to boost him into the position.  After a tough decision, Derev was appointed over Aedile Shikyo Keibatsu.  The beginnings of the reign of Derev Niroth looked dark, as disputes quickly broke out throughout the house and clan.  However, this would soon be overcome, and after making peace with his Aedile, Derev Niroth set out on a path to repair the damage caused by Kat Pridemore's reign, and to bring House Marka Ragnos back to glory.
 
What followed was a shaky series of proposals and changes.  Many changes were made in the junior leadership of the Clan, followed by more drastic changes.  In an effort to consolidate activity, and retain as many members as possible, Derev ordered the closing of two Battleteams - the Night Raptors, and the Night Falcons.  The Night Hawks remained, as the sole battleteam of House Marka Ragnos, and was given a new mission - The Elite Battleteam of the House.  Along with these changes, Derev recommissioned the long dormant Ravana Squadron, the original Sith Battleteam of House Naga Sadow.  It's mission was to train and see that the House retained all of it's new apprentices.  After a short test trial, it was clear Ravana was a success, retention rates skyrocketed.  Later, the Avatars of Death would be recomissioned, as an extension of Ravana.  These Battleteams comprised the entirety of the House's Training Program.  Active member in the House began to sky rocket, lost members decreased, and productivity rose.
 
All seemed to be going well, until Derev came into conflict with Manesh Sadow - then Consul, over matters concerning the open Proconsul rank. Derevko resigned from his position and took to the Rogues to calm down, causing distress among many of the House's Members. He named Shikyo as his successor, hoping that his Aedile would continue to grow, improve and nurture the House as he had done.
 
===Shikyo Keibatsu===
 
Shikyo's reign began well, his path relatively easy to continue from Derevko's success. He appointed Ylith Atema from House Ludo Kressh, former Aedile of House Oriens Obscurum as his Aedile. The house flowed for a short time, through the Second Darkness Rite of Supremacy. Unfortunately, Ylith was soon forced to resign due to real life. A long period of time without an Aedile followed, the House led by only Shikyo. Though many people applied, it was Nekura Manji Keibatsu, one of Shikyo's family who took up the mantle of Aedile. The pair currently lead the House as it flourishes.
 
===Quejo Rak'ul Drakai===
                                          NO DATA AVALIBLE
===Trevarus Caerick===
 
Trevarus replaced Quejo as Quaestor; the Dark Jedi Master came out of retirement to lead House Marka Ragnos and prove to he was still able too. He took the Sith Commander of Ravana Squadron (who was also Clan Envoy) as his Aedile. Ashura Isradia had been Aedile once a long time ago, and knew what was involved in running a House.
 
The Elder began to coach the Equite in fine details of leadership; Ashura was far more grounded in the requirements of the positions as things had changed a lot since Trevarus last held a leadership position. The two worked well together bring the House together, rebuilding it one layer at a time. A wild rumor flew about saying that Caerick's insanity imprinted itself on Isradia; however Ashura never showed any outwards signs of insanity.
 
Trevarus would eventually step down as Quaestor to become Consul; Ashura would fill his void.
 
===Ashura Isradia===
 
Being Quaestor was Ashura's fist time, and to say he was ready was an understatement. He wanted it though. The Sith for a while led the House on his own, but he eventually needed to find an Aedile, and he finally did so in the form of Faeril Munlear. Isradia decided to implement a type of '''Rule of Two''' style of relationship with Faeril.
 
House Marka Ragnos began to grow more powerful. He installed Ylith Atema as Battleteam Leader of Night Hawks; his wife, Jade Atema, would eventually replace him and lead the Battleteam to even greater heights. A young Jedi Hunter by the name of Alexander Anderson would become the new Battleteam Leader of Ravana Squadron.
 
The Quaestor saw Marka Ragnos for what it was; a Krath House, a House where the next generation of Dark Jedi, Journeymen, would rise up the ranks to become the future of the Clan. He saw the Disciples of Ragnos cult a way to do this.
 
The House continued to grow under the leadership of the House Summit and the Battleteam Leaders. The House was a breeding ground of knowledge; the dark doctrine of Marka Ragnos was an initial step in this.
 
As expected, House members began to go on to bigger and better things; his Aedile being one of them as she applied for the vacant position of Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh and got it. Alexander Anderson replaced her and the House kept on growing. Ashura replaced Tron as Proconsul and the Quaestor position was opened up throught the Dark Brotherhood.
 
===Derev Niroth===
 
With this new vacancy, the Consul and Proconsul elected Derev Niroth to assume the mantle of leadership in House Marka Ragnos once again.

The History Overview

The story of House Marka Ragnos begins some 5,300 years before the Battle of Yavin, when the Dark Lord of the Sith, Marka Ragnos himself, began his reign over the Sith Empire. Under his rule a Golden Age was ushered in. Ragnos ruled with unparalleled success for 300 years. During this time, he established a devoted following of warriors, scholars and other figures who swore an oath of loyalty to him.

After Ragnos was succeeded by Naga Sadow, this cult remained loyal to their slain master and left Korriban, wandering across the galaxy with no destination in mind. In their travels, this cult came across the planet Karana III and settled there. They began calling themselves the "Disciples of Ragnos" and continued to worship their master and practice his dark doctrine. However, the Disciples were soon driven away from Karana, and they settled on the planet Loki in the Phare system.

It was not long before Clan Overlord Astronicus Sadow came to Phare and brought together his followers under the name of House Naga Sadow. Soon, as the numbers of House Naga Sadow grew, it became Clan Naga Sadow and the Disciples of Ragnos deigned to become House Marka Ragnos. Over time the House grew and developed under the leadership of notable Dark Jedi such as Trevarus Caerick, Astronicus Aurelius Sadow and Muz Ashen Keibatsu) who later went on to greater things, and became one of the foremost Houses in the Dark Brotherhood.

The Disciples of Ragnos of the modern era are made up of Sith, Krath and Obelisk of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The epistle of Marka Ragnos continues to live on through a new generation adored in the traditions of old.


Early History

Much of the history of the house pre-Split has been lost. This section is composed of what fragments were recovered by Clan historians.

The history of the house at its creation was somewhat chaotic. The first Quaestor of the multi-order House Marka Ragnos was Dark Jedi Knight Ximeno, the Commander of the Sith Ravana Squadron in House Naga Sadow. The first Aedile was Dark Jedi Knight Raistlin. However, Ximeno's reign as Quaestor did not last long before his wanderlust caused him to leave the known galaxy, his disappearance saw the rise of Kharon Daragon, who had earlier stepped down as Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow to guide the members of Marka Ragnos while Raistlin stayed on as Aedile.

When Robert Sadow, formerly Daragon, was named as the next Consul his replacement was Dark Jedi Knight Raistlin and at this point in the house's history the only known phyle in the house was the Cimerii Sect; Raistlin selected Dark Jedi Knight Aseret Thunderhawk as his Aedile. Under Raist's tenure the house moved into its home on the forest moon of Lien in the Pirath system before eventually moving to Loki in the Phare system. As time progressed Aseret resigned to focus more on her studies and Raistlin appointed Knight William Flechette as her successor.

Fate was not kind to Raistlin as he fell victim to the Grand Master's reconstructing of the houses in the Dark Brotherhood and houses became order-specific; it was inevitable that some leaders would lose their positions as was evidence with Raistlin. With this unfortunate turn of events the House became the Krath arm of Clan Naga Sadow resulting in the appointment of Krath Priestess Aseret.

Her first appointments were Dark Jedi Knight Arkane Skywalker as Aedile and Jedi Hunter Enerum Shka as Rollmaster. As the Krath house started its life a rudimentary Mentor program was started by Jedi Hunter Reiam Darksaber, how long this program lasted has been lost to the ages. Aseret's reign only lasted one month before events with the council saw her replaced by Mordaan.

After a month under the leadership of Priestess Aseret, Marka Ragnos found themselves under the leadership of Mordaan from Scholae Palatinae when the Priestess resigned. Although it was considered rather strange occurrence for an outside appointment, it had been proposed that it was the lack of steady leadership within the house that prompted the outside intervention.

Mordaan found themselves thrown into the fire swiftly as an outside organization known as “The Guild” was known to be trying to recruit from within the house to lure members away; Mordaan requested that all members contacted by a member of this organization contact them as soon as this contact occurred and it is unknown if this problem was localized to Marka Ragnos or was a larger problem. As this problem seemed to be at its peak the Dark Council removed Arkane Skywalker from his Aedile position and appointed him the Tetrarch of the Cimerii Sect; the sudden changing of the guard saw Mordaan replace Arkane with Knight Shonan Darksole as their Aedile and the new appointment of Jedi Hunter Daihok Endymiron as the house Rollmaster.

Mordaan soon found the house under fire again as Jedi Hunter Reiam Darksaber returned simply to harass the house, prompting Mordaan to address the house and request them to ignore the former Jedi Hunter. As the environment began to calm in the house Mordaan created the Night Hawks as a phyle of the house with Hunter Trevarus Caerick as its Tetrarch and the Black Omen with Enerum Shka as its Tetrarch; at this point the Night Hawks were established as the elite phyle of the house.

As time progressed Shonan Darksole resigned from Mordaan’s side for greater things provoking the appointment of Trevarus Caerick as his replacement and leaving the Night Hawks looking for a new Tetrarch; due to lack of interest the Cimerri Sect and Black Omen found themselves disbanded and reorganized into the Dark Scholars, leaving only the Scholars and the Night Hawks as the two phyles of the house.

After several months in the line of fire Mordaan resigned from all the stress of the position, leaving Trevarus Caerick to assume the title of Quaestor with Enerum Shka rising to the position of Aedile. As his first action as Quaestor Trevarus disbanded the Dark Scholars, a lack of interest in phyles also forcing him to set everyone in the house above the rank of Acolyte to be placed in a phyle. During his time in office, Caerick saw the passing of a Great Jedi War and in his wisdom sought to archive the stories, writings and history of the house by building a Dark Library.

With almost half a year of service under his belt, Trevarus Caerick was elevated to the position of Proconsul of Naga Sadow thanks to all his work with the House allowing Enerum Shka to relieve him of his position. Shka soon found himself under fire as the house found itself plagued with unrest. With the house turned against itself and the phyles working against each other Shka was forced to remind his members that they should stand united against the houses enemies as opposed to each other, although friendly competition was acceptable. It was during his tenure that Shka also relocated the Dark Library and established the “Dark Librarian” position to tend it; a Mentor program was also proposed to help the younger members but was never implemented before Enerum Shka was removed by Trevarus Caerick and Priest Rage was elevated to replace him.

Quickly following up to his predecessor, Rage appointed Archpriest Daihok as his Aedile, implemented the Mentor system and witnessed Operation Darkfall with the Clan performing admirably although the specific details on how the House performed is unknown. While Operation Darkfall had seen success by the Sadowans, Marka Ragnos was haunted by a lack of enthusiasm from its members. As such Quaestor Rage rebalanced the phyles in a ladder-based system with the Night Seekers as the training phyle with the Night Death as an intermediate phyle before joining the Night Hawks as the elite phyle of the house. Records on how this change affected the performance of the house or who was assigned to the individual phyles have since been lost to the ages.

The house found itself experiencing a couple of changes in the coming months with Rage replaced with Shae-Lynn Jade for the duration of a Great Jedi War for personal reasons before she was replaced by the clan Overlord Astronicus Aurelius Sadow due to the depression in the house. Astronicus, better known as Tron, was forced to transfer from the Sith order to ensure the house survived but he was swift in selecting his Aedile. Although another member from outside of the house, Archpriestess Mairin Astoris was quick to assist Tron in his diligence in weeding out the inactive members to keep the house in fighting shape. During this time the house generally stood around fifteen members but excelled in its missions against and with other houses and clans of the Brotherhood; competing with and assisting House Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae while engaging Clan Satal Keto as a whole with the clan.

Tron's tenure as Quaestor of the house was short-lived with the Night Hawks renamed to “Prophecy” and Ilyan Kano selected as its Tetrarch; soon thereafter Mairin was named as the Krath High Priestess and leaving the position of Aedile to Ilyan Kano. The shuffle was not finished at this point as Tron left the house to act as an Emissary to the Assembly of Consuls and appointed Ilyan as his successor.

During Iylan's tenure he performed admirably amongst the changing of the guard and events that arose; the return of Trevarus Caerick to the house saw “Prophesy” return to the title of Night Hawks and Robert Sadow move from Naga Sadow to Ludo Kressh to become their Quaestor. Robert's replacement, Knight Neo, unfortunately couldn't fulfill his duties as Aedile due to an accident that claimed his life and left the house absent of both an Aedile and a Quaestor of a couple of weeks as Iylan grieved for the loss of his friend. During this time of chaos Pontifex Voranyen had been asked to watch over the house by Iylan until his return, which had been shorter than expected and Iylan took on Archpriest Khobai Wrathraven as his Aedile and posted two new members in command of the Phyles. Khobai took no time in taking control in his new role and began a large-scale recruitment drive to bolster the numbers of the house following their unceremonious loss during the Vendetta, the Quest.

Near the end of the year a bid for the Orbs of Power began in Clan Naga Sadow provoking Iylan to push for greater activity and enthusiasm amongst his members and during the event Iylan begins the Master-Student program in a bid to help the younger members of the house during this time of strife. As 18 ABY came around Khobai resigned from his position allowing Knight Jonuss Rai to assume the title of Aedile although this happy time was short-lived as Iylan dissappeared from the house for unknown reasons, leaving the newly appointed Aedile in near complete control of the House. With the house in a weakened state when the Dark Council gave a call to the clans for the Stone of Light, the Ragnosians performed very poorly in their duties resulting in nearly driving the young Aedile mad. It didn't take long for the High Priestess to take notice of this rather absurd situation and left her forced to assume Iylan had been lost to a wanderlust, appointing Rai as the Quaestor of the house.

Upon being appointed, Rai took matters of the House into his own hands swiftly, wanting nothing but the best from his members and requesting reports from any members in positions of power under him on a weekly basis. Rai even went as far as requesting reports of individual members work on a weekly basis to be added to the ever expanding Dark Library. Shortly after his appointment the young Quaestor needed help and appointed Robert Sadow as his Aedile; this was not to last as Bob sought the position of Quaestor of Primus Goluud and Rai was forced to appoint Thomaas Banys as his Aedile in his stead. During the next couple of months the House seemed rather quiet with activity staying at a good position and the Rollmaster position was dissolved. It was part way through the year that a feud started between Naga Sadow, Arcona and Tarentum; in a bid to keep his members in fighting shape Rai made sure that all his Phyles were in order and ready for battle. After a short bit of relaxation following their feud with the other clans, Rai's attention turned to his House after noting that not as many had been fighting with him as he would've wished; after searching for his house members he was forced to assume they had left and issued a request for all members to report to him weekly resulting in the end of Khobai's recruitment drive. After several months of hard work the weight of being a good leader finally brought Rai down and he was forced to leave active duty for personal reasons.

The next several weeks were rather unimpressive with Aedile Thomaas Banys promoted to Quaestor with Priestess Ghost Angel being assigned as the Aedile of the house. This short-lived leadership was pretty much an interim leadership until history would be changed for the Brotherhood shortly after the resignation of Thomaas with Ghost Angel assuming the title of Quaestor. With the incident resolved and Aeotheran recovering with the help of the Dlarit forces, the Ragnosians had earned themselves a reprieve to relax and recover. Time spent with the Aedile returning to Mucenic and the Night Raptors being disbanded and replaced with the Governor Security Force at Markosian City.

Post Exodus

Following the relatively short command of Thomaas Banys, Marka Ragnos found themselves under the command of a young Priestess known as Ghost Angel, later known as Kalia, as of 19 ABY. As Kalia assumed the title of Quaestor Jonuss Rai returned to the House and the young Priestess was forced to adapt to her new position swiftly as the Great Exodus started up around her. As the House and the entire Brotherhood fought for their independence from the Emperor’s Hammer, Kalia grew quickly into her role and followed the same steps as her predecessors Rai and Kano.

While tough on the members of her house, Kalia saw her people through the Exodus and through the Independence Games that followed. As the games came to a close though Kalia started to grow distant from her house and eventually stepped aside to allow the clan Overlord to assume leadership to keep the house going while she sought personal growth.

Once again Tron returned to lead the Ragnosians to greatness and selected Janos Silverwulf as his Aedile. Tron's mission during his time in command was simple: improve recruitment and activity. The revival of the Master-Student program as well as the Night Hawks phyle saw a boom in activity following it's depression before Tron stepped aside to return to his duties and studies as the Clan Overlord.

Following his small tutelage under Tron, Janos Silverwulf found himself in command of the house and swiftly started campaigns to keep the members of the house busy. As the Sith War and a competition known only as Chaotic Vengeance started, so too did a push for activity and drive towards drinking for Quaestor Silverwulf that is encouraged for all his followers. After a while of his drunken behaviour, Silverwulf left the stresses of house leadership to the capable hands of young Korras Aquillarum, the quick learning Dark Jedi taking the lead just before the rise of the Third Jedi War. Korras fought long and hard alongside his House, ensuring their power and unity as he opened the doors of Marka Ragnos to any-order of the Brotherhood, making Marka Ragnos the first formerly Krath multi-order house within the Brotherhood. With all his work done well and respectfully, Korras caught the attention of the clan summit and found himself appointed the Proconsul of Naga Sadow; this allowed his Aedile to assume command, seeing the rise of Muz Ashen as the Quaestor of Marka Ragnos. Sadly, Muz saw his appointment during the third phase of the Third Great Jedi War and was forced to assume command admist a large shuffle of leadership. With Manji Keibatsu Sadow at his side the house successfully saw the end of the war and the return of the Avatars of Death phyle with a new addition of the Night Falcons.

As Marka Ragnos found themselves in a feud with House Ludo Kressh, Muz forms the Night Raptors Battleteam for the Obelisk members to ensure greater activity. Ashen's term of leadership proved rather taxing and troublesome as the year 22 ABY came to a close, the loss of a close friend and member of the house to self-exile saw much controversy amongst the membership of the House. Despite this the house entered the Krath Rite of Supremacy and Naga Sadow claimed the title of Second clan of the Brotherhood with the help of Marka Ragnos.

As 23 ABY opened, Muz found himself ascended to the clan summit rather quietly with Nekura Manji Keibatsu replacing him for the house and Epis Xizor replacing Manji. The young Keibatsu quickly started a campaign to keep the Ragnosians busy and strong, his military campaign of Operation: Frozen Fortress sending a minimum of seven Dark Jedi to the planet Loki before the second Independence Games started.

Manji worked hard to keep his members active, even following the bar brawl between Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh just beofre the Independence Games. Xizor however could not quite agree with everything that had happened and stepped down to allow Kat Pridemore to stand beside the young Keibatsu. The young Aedile swiftly found herself in command as her Quaestor took a small leave, returning to a Feud between the houses of Naga Sadow yet again. As Manji returned dumbfounded he found the aid of his brother Muz Ashen and with a vicious warcry the two Keibatsu helped secure Marka Ragnos as the First House of Naga Sadow. The end of the feud didn't see peace for the Ragnosians however, with the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy started quickly on its heels. After a grueling set of months full of combat and contests, the Ragnosians finally had peace as the Rite ended with a breath of fresh air for the war weary members of the house.

By the time 25 ABY rolled around Manji felt the pressures of leadership and stepped aside for the young Priestess Kat Pridemore as a clan feud rising to keep the young woman busy with her house and allowing the Ragnosians to participate in Naga Sadow's victory. Under Pridemore's guidance the Ragnosians fought in the Fourth Great Jedi War, although the details on the conflict have been lost to the ages.

As time continued a rift grew within Naga Sadow and Quaestor Pridemore was impacted heavily by it, leaving the known galaxy around 26 ABY, during this time the house soon found itself engulfed in yet another fued with Ludo Kressh with and Derev Niroth took up the vacant leadership position leading the way for Marka Ragnos to achieve victory. During Niroth’s term he championed a campaign for Naga Sadow to reclaim many lost artifacts from the Phare system and guided the members of Marka Ragnos down a very successful path until misgivings between himself and the Consul caused him to resign for personal reasons and leave the clan.

Following the fallout between Niroth and the Consul, Shikyo Keibatsu was granted the title of Quaestor with Ylith at his side, the two worked hard to keep Marka Ragnos at the top of their game during the next Rite of Supremacy, but Shikyo suffered from a wanderlust that kept distancing him from his duties; acknowledging this he stepped down to allow Quejo Drakai to assume command of the house.

Under Drakai's guidance, the House prepared for yet another Great Jedi War. With the experience of Manji Keibatsu at his side, the house fought hard in the war in the name of Sadow. Following the end of the War, Marka Ragnos saw their numbers shrink as the war had claimed more than they had hoped for yet this didn't keep the members of the house from celebrating their successes. With the war ending the Brotherhood sought to reclaim what they had lost and began the Orian Invasion as Drakai began to feel the weight and exhaustion of it all closing in on him.

The Orian Invasion had been tough on Quejo and saw the rise of Trevarus Caerick as his successor of the house. Ashura Isradia stood by his side as Aedile of the house and they continued to fight alongside the rest of the Brotherhood in the Orian Invasion, although the war against the Vong started to take its toll on the members of Marka Ragnos as their drive and ambition started to fail with the war becoming tedious.

As the Orian Invasion came to a close, Ashura found himself as the Quaestor of the house. Under Ashura's lead the house prospered in its peace and saw the rise of the Dlarit Special Operations Group as well as an emphasis on the Disciples of Ragnos. As time grew so too did the positions controlled by house membership of these groups. During Ashura’s reign Naga Sadow found themselves assaulting former members Trevarus Caerick and Vexatus, as the two had betrayed the Brotherhood. During the mission to Lehon the clan defeated the two betrayers but Ashura found himself gravely injured in the attack and had to leave his position as the Clan summit saw fit to appoint him as the Proconsul of the clan for all the hard work he had accomplished and his loyalty to the clan. With Ashura’s injury and surprise appointment the house was left without effective leadership and saw the return of Derev Niroth in the open position. During this time the house saw many revitalization efforts under Niroth’s second term as Quaestor; a reimplementation of the training program as well as a focus on order-specific battleteams returning to the forefront. Niroth’s term however was plagued with personal issues and the Battle of Inos where he inadvertently dragged all of Naga Sadow into the incident. The Ragnos Cathedral and disciples of saw a boom in their activity during this period of time as well before Niroth’s personal life caught up with him.

For the next couple of months after Derev Niroth stepped down, Grand Master Jedgar Octavius Paladin assumed command of the Ragnosians for the duration of the ninth Great Jedi War; this duration saw Jade Imperial Atema as his Aedile; the two fought admirably with the rest of the Ragnosians and Naga Sadow but their actions didn't have a great effect.

Following the war Jade found herself appointed as the new Quaestor after good word from Jedgar and pushed for the betterment of the house with an overhaul in the Master/Student program as well as the advancement and improvements towards the Ragnos Cathedral and the Disciples of Ragnos. Under Jade the return of the Night Raptors battleteam was also seen headed by Jedi Hunter Fremoc Pepoi; with the Raptors and Hawks both active and the Disciples of Ragnos running the house seemed ready for the Fractured Mirror challenges that were before them.

As Jade's term progressed a feud broke out between Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh to see which of the two was the top house of Naga Sadow, a seemingly endless battle that constantly erupted between the two. However the feud would be the last for Jade as she led the house to victory over Ludo Kressh and appointed Fremoc Pepoi as Aedile of the house.

Shortly after Pepoi’s appointment, Robert Sadow returned from the shadows to join Marka Ragnos and help guide its members down the true path; his efforts were focused on revitalizing the Disciples of Ragnos and began to put an emphasis on the improvements of the Ragnosians new home of Mucenic. During the time with Robert, Tarthos grew and became much more settled with Markosian City and Mucenic becoming seats of power for the Ragnosians; it was in the midst of all the changes that the clan summit sought the help of as many as they could to get rid of a problem within Brotherhood territory, an entity known as "the Underworld" seemed to be causing issues for the clan and more importantly the house.

Following their return from a successful operation Robert Sadow was appointed the rollmaster for Naga Sadow and the clan summit saw Fremoc Pepoi as his successor. This transition was rather easy and painless as Robert had been training Pepoi for this eventuality and his experience as Aedile had served him well. Under Pepoi's guidance a stronger emphasis was placed on home for the people of Marka Ragnos; Markosian City and Mucenic were given greater attention and care in addition to a larger resurgence of the Disciples of Ragnos. Pepoi's greatest challenge was yet to come as of 32 ABY the Dark Council declared Vendetta, initiating a Rite of Supremacy to help them claim the troublesome planet of Salas V.

After the call to Salas V for the Vendetta House Marka Ragnos along with the rest of Clan Naga Sadow began to prepair for war. Once on the planet initial contact was made with Clan Plagueis and the war began. Battles raged and in the end Clan Naga Sadow stood victorious. Not long after the battle the Clan found itself facing another enemy.


Independent House Revan now stood in the way of the Clan taking control of Salas V. Again a massive battle took place and as the smoke cleared Independent House Revas stood tall over Clan Naga Sadow. The loss cause the Clan to begin an immediate withdraw from the planet. In the chaos of retreat Clan Arcona wound up in the same evacuation area as Clan Naga Sadow, both Clans wanted to make someone else pay for their defeat.

The two tired and beaten Clans engaged one another for a final attempt to prove themselves and as the battle raged on Clan Naga Sadow came out on top. The Clan headed back home with two victories and 1 loss. House Marko Ragnos and both of its Battleteams rested back in their homes but the silence after the war would end quickly for them.

There was peace for a time before the Divine Reborn attacked Mucenic with their leader Drosk Nunes heading the assault. Kalei Basai warned Fremoc, Thomas, and infant Darra Pepoi and began to evacuate the monastery. Fremoc knowing there was going to be problems, ordered Kalei to run to the Hidden Hangars and alert the rest of the house while telling his son to take the infant Darra to the Immortal Tomb's Quaestor's Box since only two people knew the way to get there. Kalei alerted Bal Demona to ready the rest of the house and their battle teams. The Night Raptors being the Consul's Own, left Markosian City almost immediately and landed first in Mucenic, silently killing Dark Jedi as they moved into the monastery.


Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart sent a transmission off to Sepros informing Manji of the situation and requesting the Final Way to be in orbit over Mucenic. The Night Hawks finally landed in Mucenic with Kharon Daragon, who immediately went to the Immortal Tomb to find Thomas and Darra and brought them back to their Gunship and sent them to the Final Way that was almost in orbit.

At the same time Teu Pepoi was landing on the Final Way, taking her children in her arms and holding them close. On the surface of Tarthos, Drosk sent most of his followers to attack the members of Marka Ragnos. Kano and Methyas were able to kill most of the Lords, but their biggest test came when Drosk went to kill Fremoc, who was chained to a wall and gagged. Kano Tor Pepoi stopped the attack and immediately engaged the leader of the Divine Reborn. Methyas cut Fremoc's bindings, and the two joined in on the fight.

It didn't take long before the rest of Marka Ragnos surrounded Drosk. The leader of the Divine Reborn sent a wave of Force energy knocking everyone backwards and running towards the transport he arrived on. Fremoc, Kano, and Methyas chased Drosk to the transport but were too late when the transport shot off towards open space. Manji ordered the Final Way to capture the fleeing Drosk, and made the man surrender to DSOG, Taigikori, and Manji. Bound, the leader of the Divine Reborn was being brought to an interrogation room, when Teu Pepoi came from nowhere, and struck down Drosk in revenge for trying to harm her family.

The following weeks were a time of peace and adjustment as Kano Tor Pepoi replaced Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart as Sergeant of the Night Raptors upon his appointment as Aedile of the house. The time gave the Ragnosians time to heal and set plans in motion for the future of the House before they were summoned to the Marakith Skyhook over Aeotheran to celebrate the blurring of lines and barriers between the houses of the Clan. Their celebrations were cut short however following military actions by Battlelord Malisane Sadow against a terrorist cell known as the Voice of Justice and a political movement known as C.A.R.E., actions that showed the Dlarit Corporation and it's Dark Jedi masters in bad light. Consul Manji Keibatsu Sadow swiftly chided the Summit for their celebrations and allowing these terrorists to take root and ordered them to route these villainous creatures from their planet.

The Sadowans acted swiftly and in a number of different methods, moving from infiltrating the Voice and Justice and C.A.R.E. to finding ways to help the people within the Aeotheran Resettlement Center. These actions allowed the Sadowans to grow close to the leader of the Voice of Justice, Deliverance, and C.A.R.E.'s figurehead Ven Dastari. Operating as mercenaries, speechwriters, refugees and more the members of the Clan delved deep into these terror cells and began to plot their downfall from within. The first event during this incident was the destruction a section of the railway system to the mines and the subsequent destruction of a train full of workers presumed to be carrying minerals and equipment from the mines. The deaths of so many innocents reflected poorly on the Voice of Justice and saw the group flee to nearby caves to regroup. Back in the city, elements of the Clan discovered shocking ties between Ven Dastari and the Voice of Justice while some members successfully prevented the destruction of a warehouse containing food stores by members of the Voice of Justice.

After a brief scare with a mysterious creature in the wilderness surrounding Seng Karash the Voice of Justice with Deliverance moved towards Generator Two, a power generation station that powered sections of Seng Karash and the outlying mining outposts, with the intent of capturing it to hold ransom against Dlarit. At this point many members of the Clan joined forces to subvert the Voice of Justice in their mission, arriving at the Generator in force disguised as new recruits and mercenaries. The mission would've been a success had their not been an incident between Roxas Buurenaar and Teu Pepoi that resulted in her capture. The resulting outcome was the rescue of Teu and the destruction of the Generator by Fremoc Pepoi, Kano Tor Pepoi and Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart which caused surviving members of the Voice of Justice to flee and leave their new recruits behind. The members of Naga Sadow returned to the Marakith to regroup and heal as they sought to find the Voice of Justice before things grew worse.

Declaring her intentions to sink the isle of Lor Zatean unless Dlarit gave into the Voice of Justice's demands, Deliverance had grown more powerful and aggressive; even going as far as killing Ven Dastari when he arrived to escape the planet with her. Clan forces mobilized to retake the isle and the Keebada Villa where the terrorists were hiding, a well co-ordinated assault seeing the Sadowans infiltrating the building and rescuing civilians still trapped within the building. Pushing their way to the basement, the Clan made their final stand against Deliverance and her elite agents, a mission that became easier as Macron Sadow arrived with Manji Keibatsu Sadow to help with the final push against Deliverance herself. During the chaos, Teu Pepoi repurposed the bomb that had been brought to the Villa before Deliverance's death. In a final harrowing escape to a waiting transport, the Sadowans detonated the waiting bomb and leveled the isle itself.

36 ABY

Operation Exsanguination

In 36 ABY, Quaestor Kojiro Keibatsu, created Talon Company. A Judicial Force that is charged with security and enforcing the law, safeguarding the true sons and daughters of House Marka Ragnos holdings. He named Syntari Bastiayn and Kodais Solatus as Judges, Guardians of the Law and Commanders of Talon Company.

Kojiro had gathered those that were seen as dangerous and had questionable loyalties to the House. This assembly was both the announcement and christening of Talon Company and its Judges. The slaughter of those in attendance would later be called the Massacre of Dissidents.
