The Beginning.
Kanis Da'uul at a young age was in training to be a Jedi, he knocked down any obstacle which confronted him, once he was paired up with a Master, he began to exceed each expectation that was set for him. Just as everyone does this young boy found love, his heart became attached to another. It was a secret love, but not to the point of where Kanis' master knew nothing. Since he saw highly of his Padawan, the Jedi Master said absolutely nothing in the way of protest against young Kanis Da'uul's relationship.
As days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to years, the bond between Kanis and K'ara (Care-Ah) grew in strength until the sunny day in an apartment on Coruscant when Kanis proposed to his lover in secrecy. With tears of joy in her eyes K'ara agreed with little hesitation to be recorded, it seemed almost story book, all too perfect to be true. Due to the sheltered life that the young Jedi Padawan lived, he really knew nothing much of pain, and loss, this fact would prove to be his downfall.
Nearly two months after the proposal had been accepted and, Kanis and K'ara were wandering through one of the many market places located on the planet. The two were smiling and laughing, and Kanis was doing what he did each time they went out, which would be trying to further impress K'ara, which he usually performed a horrible fail in the process which only proved to make her laugh. It was merely a few hours into their venture that the Padawan's life would be changed forever; an assassin who had been slinking through the shadows following the life of Kanis' Master, he too discovered the existence of the Padawan's secret lover, and felt that striking the Master's Padawan may deliver an equal blow to the master himself.
The assassin bolted from the shadows with a freshly sharpened Vibrosword which he thrusted deeply into K'ara's back without a sign of remorse. Stopping abruptly blood began to leak from the corner of K'ara's mouth, the only reason that Kanis had noticed that she'd stopped was that he'd been holding her hand and felt that she wasn't budging an inch. All the warmth and joy had quickly fleeted from K'ara's eyes, and Kanis couldn't believe what he was seeing. K'ara fell into his arms gurgling a tad on her blood. A red plume began to grow larger on her back dampening her shirt. There was nothing Kanis was able to do as he watched the assassin escape.
The Corruption.
Kanis' heart was crushed upon the death of his lover, followed by his master Kanis barged in unannounced to the meeting room occupied by the Jedi Council. Kanis brought up the murder of young K'ara to the council, but they merely shook their heads and said that it was merely a matter for the proper authorities. This rejection enraged Kanis further and he stormed out of the council room again followed by his master who attempted to calm him. Kanis expressed that he would find and kill the man responsible, and his master agreed with him, but brought up the point that holding a grudge and allowing himself to be over come with hate as a path that would lead him only to suffering.
Kanis ignored the warnings his master gave him, and on one fateful day, after Kanis had finished gathering all the information he needed, the young Padawan set out and was unknowingly followed by his master. things only got worse once Kanis had discovered the Assassin in a local Cantina, the Assassin was slain, but not in honorable combat. Kanis merely stabbed him in the back and obliterated his heart in the process, he then began to kill anyone who went after him. At that his master had seen enough and decided to step in. The two battled for what seemed to be hours, they were both obviously well matched in the way of skill, but as the battle ended, Kanis lightsaber was destroyed and his master had received horrid burns. Instead of ending the life of his Padawan Kanis Da'uul, the Master Banished him from the planet of Coruscant because of the fact that his hate had driven him to the dark side, his is a story of hate and Vengeance
This is where Kanis' Chapter in The Dark Brotherhood begins.
