- " I am the hunter of the embracing dark. I am the bringer of fear. I am the scorner of peace and tranquillity. I ride the storm cloud and the night! I seek to crush the commonplace. I seek to strike terror in every heart. I know no passion or pity. I seek to be Sith in all its manifestations."
- ―Ancient Sith Code
Kalon is currently a Sith and a Dark Jedi Knight within Clan Arcona.
Character History
Birth
Kalon was born in 11 ABY on a Venator-class Star Destroyer known as the "Deaths Courier", his mother and father were both officers aboard the destroyer, which was occupied by Imperial Defectors.
Early life and Service
File:Deaths Courier.jpgDeaths Courier
Kalon spent his whole childhood aboard the Deaths Courier, he was a quiet boy who would look at the floor whenever he did speak, rather than look anybody in the eye. As he grew into a young man he was given the opportunity to work in the bridge as a young officer after showing great tactical knowledge during his education, he graciously accepted and was instantly promoted from Ensign to Second Lieutenant. As time went on he became an experienced tactician, helping to bring many victories to the Deaths Courier. His winning streak wouldn't last though.
In 25 ABY, the Deaths Courier was travelling through the Breshig System in the Mandalore Sector. All was going fine at first until it was ambushed by a considerably large Mandalorian attack force, the Defectors didn't have much time to respond before the destroyer was majorly damaged. Kalon was in the bridge, overseeing the battle but had to fall back to an escape pod. On the way he was caught in an explosion which knocked him out and he was dragged to the pod by a fellow crewman. They quickly jettisoned safely seconds before the Deaths Courier exploded, killing most of the crew including Kalon's parents.
They were drifting in space for quite some time, until they were picked up by a Mandalorian destroyer. The Mandalorians stormed the pod and quickly killed the crewmen. Kalon was still unconscious and was about to be killed as well, though luckily he woke up just in time, the damage done in the explosion had permanently given him memory loss. The Mandalorians could tell he was confused and after a quick debate they decided to take him with them, thinking he may be useful to them in some form or another.
Life with Clan Beviin
Kalon quickly impressed the Mandalorians of clan Beviin with his combat skill and beliefs in honor. They decided to make him one of them and so Kalon became a warrior of the clan, he settled in quickly and was even given his set of Mandalorian battle armour which he still weares occasionally. He gained a good reputation with Beviin, especially during battle where he would display his skills. His harsh Mandalorian training kept him alive and calm through most scenarios, and he was always striving to be better than the rest. It was this attitude that was to prove problematic in his later life. He was a keen pilot and when not fighting on the battlefield was always trying out different combat maneuvers in any starfighter he could get his hands on.

In 34 ABY during a battle against an unknown force Kalon encountered a Dark Jedi, Kalon charged in without a thought and a long duel ensued. Eventually Kalon lost his footing and was defeated, though the Jedi was impressed with his skills and offered to train him as a Dark Jedi revealing himself as Sanguinius Tsucyra. Kalon would only agree to go with him if his Clan approved, and with some weeks of waiting he got the approval he needed. Kalon travelled with his new Master to the Dajorra system, becoming part of House Qel-Droma, whilst still representing Clan Beviin.
The Brotherhood
Kalon was accepted into the Brotherhood and was deeply dedicated to his studies, as he progressed in his training he came to respect every member within his house and Clan Arcona as a whole. He always looked for ways to prove himself amongst his peers and was always reliant on the code of honor, easily aggrivated if anyone was to break the code, even if they knew it or not. It was later on that year that Kalon left the House for some unknown reason, returning many months later to continue his training under the guidance of his Master. Kalon kept quiet during the Tenth Great Jedi War as he held a grudge about fighting fellow Mandalorians, even if they were from a different Clan. Shortly after the war Kalon joined Void Squadron due to his fascination and eagerness of piloting starfighters.
Arconan Family Feud
During the outbreak of the family feud within Arcona, Kalon sided with his master and joined the Entars against both the Erinos and D'tana. Near to the end of the feud Kalon and Sanguinius were observing a battle upon a holovid. This was when they were ambushed by several Erinos thugs which the pair easily managed to incapacitate. Kalon turned to face his master and was stabbed through the chest by a lightsaber, it narrowly missed his vital organs but still did large damage to the Guardian.
As Sang battled the assaliant Kalon felt himself being dragged across the ground. He opened his eyes to see Socorra who managed to take him to the nearest med-station. Kalon would remain there unconscious for several days, and shortly after he recovered he was promoted to Jedi Hunter and due to Teroch being reassigned to Soulfire he was also appointed Commander of Void Squadron.

Knighthood
After recruiting several members into the Squadron and getting them all battle ready. Kalon was deemed ready to be knighted and became a full Dark Jedi Knight. The young Mandalorian then spend many weeks after the knighthood teaching himself new combat forms, both with and without weapons. Though this began to pull his attention away from Void Squadron. Kalon realized that he had to choose, would he pass on the mantle of Commander to another so he could continue with his slow ascension of power? Or would he keep his position but place all his plans on hold indefinitely? Kalon chose to resign as Sith Commander of Void Squadron, though he chose to stay with the Squadron and became an Element Leader of Bet Flight.
Return to the Clan
Kalon eventually set out back towards the planet Mandalore to visit his old Clan and see if he could offer any assistance. Being welcomed back as a hero of the Clan, he set to work training new recruits and rebuild damaged strucures as Beviin had been hit by a large force of Yuuzhan Vong during the war and hadn't completely finished rebuilding. His return was met with hostility by some warriors who did not consider him one of them anymore as he had shifted his loyalty more towards Arcona, though his contribution greatly helped Beviin get back on its feet. Once he felt that he had done enough for his former Clan, Kalon travelled back towards the Dajorra System. Once he arrived, the young warrior boarded the NSD Invicta in order to maintain both his studies in the force being active with Void Squadron.
Horizon and Beyond
It was in his quarters upon the NSD Invicta that Kalon began feeling the first symptoms of a strange virus that was sweeping through the Brotherhood known only as the Horizon Plague. He quickly discovered that the ship was in lockdown and no one could leave or enter. Determined, the Dark Jedi got to his Stealth X and managed to escape, in the process injuring several members of the Arcona Navy Corps. Upon his escape he was contacted by Celevon Edraven who was in a similar predicament and he set a location for where the two Arconans would meet. Kalon and Celevon met at the Iziz hangar bay on the planet of Onderon, they quickly decided that they should head to New Tython on Celevon's ship the Shrouded Blade after viewing a holo-transmission from a Jedi Knight called Alexander DelGotto urging them to do so. Leaving his Stealth X on Onderon, they headed towards the edge of the Japrael sector before initiating there Hyperdrive, though not before being ambushed by several Pirate-affiliated TIE interceptors. After manning the main gun and destroying the interceptors the Shrouded Blade initiated its Hyperdrive and slowly the duo came closer to making sense of the mess they had found themselves in the middle of. After several weeks of dodging the non-infected who wanted to put them into quarantine, a notice went out to tell everyone who had escaped that a cure had been developed. Only after hearing of this from several sources did they finally return to their respective areas of abode, Kalon and Celevon returning to Arconan space together, their ships mere feet from the other, closer than was deemed ‘safe’.
After Horizon the remaining forces of Zoraan attacked the planets in the Jusadih System. These planets though belonged to House Plagueis and a mini skirmish started to fend off the invaders, though it appeared Plagueis could not handle on its own and so Arcona decided to intervene. Along with the rest of the Battleteam Spectre Cell, Kalon was originally supposed to be part of a recon mission on Kapsina. Though at the last minute their objective was changed and so the shuttle with the team on board changed course for the NSD Ascendancy, which was being boarded by Zoraan's forces. Splitting up into to groups, Spectre Cell began to help clear out the ship with the assistance of other teams and not to mention the Plagueian crew on board. Once there assistance was no longer needed, Kalon and his team went back into the shuttle and left for the planet to carry out their original mission.
Appearance
Physical
Kalon is quite slim for his height and tall for a human, standing at six foot seven. This makes him appear odd to some when he is seen without his armor equipped. His dark brown hair is short and spiked and his skin appears to be going grey ever so slightly. A deep scar runs down the left side of his face, appearing to have been caused by some sort of vibroblade. His eyes are a fiery crimson and some say that they can be seen glowing when in the dark. Though it is rare for Kalon to not have his helmet on.
Attire
File:KalonWarbanner.jpgKalon's current warbanner matches his blue set of armor.
Kalon is usually seen in either his Green assault armor or his recently painted blue assault armor depending on the occasion as he will wear the blue armor usually for ceremonial purposes. Both suits are of Mandalorian origins. The suits of armor are well equipped with some of the latest tech such as trackers, adjustable thermal vision and a built in comm system. It is rare for Kalon to be seen in his robes, when he does though he always wears his hood and cape, seemingly trying to be ignored by those around him.
