- "Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it."
- ―Kazmir
Kazmir "Tyre" Natas, is a Force-sensitive Echani male who serves Taldryan as a Sith Warrior. Born on Thyrsus in 17 ABY - in anything but ideal situations - to a Thyrsian father and Echani mother, a family he never met, nor had any knowledge of until recently. The young boy was left for dead on the streets, surviving despite all the odds stacked against him. Ultimately found, raised and trained for a lifetime in gladiatorial pits as a mere disposable slave. The boy rose to become something more...
A committed Taldryanite, the young man has since proven his worth and frequently receives key missions that take him away from Karufr
Character History
Innocence lost {17 ABY - 22 ABY}
Portrait of "Tyre" - 22 ABY - Age 5
The story of Kazmir begins many years before his birth, in 32 BBY to be exact, Sorin Natas was a Sun Guard captain in the service of Plagueis. A dedicated and decorated warrior who presumably lost his life during the nuclear attack on the Hunter's Moon. Later evidence suggests that Sorin was mildly Force-sensitive, though not to an extent to use the Force to produce external effects, merely being gently guided by it. Both Sorin and his son Carreal, who held a stronger connection to the Force, would fail to foresee what their progeny would become. Also a Sun Guard, Carreal quickly blazed through the ranks of their society, undoubtedly with the assistance of the Force. Force-sensitivity was uncommon in Echani-blood, even more so in Thyrsian. Despite being a Sith-cult at the time, the Sun Guard was known to viciously hunt down any of their own Force-sensitive kin; most likely in an offering to their Sith masters as a potential acolyte or otherwise to be trained as specialist soldiers.
Born out of a joining of a Thyrsian father and an Echani mother, the boy was considered an abomination even before his birth. Precisely why his father had chosen an Echani mate is unknown to this day. Kazmir's life was difficult from the day of his birth, born with pale skin, and light hair upon his scalp, signs of the Echani blood flowing in his veins. The baby was dumped into the streets of Thyrsus, left to fight for his life. In a twist of fate the baby was found by a Thyrsian noble, sauntering the street out of sheer boredom. He gave the baby the name Tyre which meant lost one in an obscure dialect. Most of Thyrsus held a severe disdain to their Echani cousins, why this noble adopted Kazmir and raised him like his own son was an enigma. Rumors spread later that the noble had lost his son to a disease, others said he got killed in a mission for the Sun Guard.
Born a "cursed child" and raised in a noble environment, Kazmir held severe contempt for those around him. Being mocked on a daily basis by other children, the young Echani frequently got himself into small-scale brawls and other assorted troubles. Instinctively learning the way of Echani, as if he had inherited the memories of his forebears, the young boy exacted a bloody vengeance on all that ridiculed him. Impressing his "father" in all the wrong ways, the young child was sent to boarding school from an early age to learn the more delicate arts of society.
An academic's life {22 ABY - 32 ABY}
Separated from his father in an environment that was unknown to him, living with children that treated him exactly the same as those that had perished, left their scars on the unripe tenderfoot. Though he had excelled at academics and was noted to be remarkably strong for his tender age, he recurrently got into trouble and faced expulsion more often than not. Realizing that the boy would need a secure hand to guide him, his father started to regularly drop by the college to discuss how his son felt, though it only had marginal effects in the long run. Before the situation got more out of hand, a private psychiatrist was hired to help Tyre deal with his emotional turmoil…
Over time the situation progressed in meager, but notable steps. Being picked on less and less had allowed the young boy to further his academic endeavors, more often than not finishing top of his respective class.

The Power of the Dark Side {32 ABY - 35 ABY}
Kazmir - 32 ABY - Age 15
Utilizing his talents for academics and his drive to be perfect in any endeavor he partook in, Kazmir blazed through the Shadow Academy at a record pace. Becoming one of the youngest members to hold no less than five degrees in multiple fields of study. Kazmir had felt an unfamiliar warmth in the academy, the other students were just like him, they didn’t treat him any different than they would another of their own kind. He wouldn’t consider the bonds he made there friendship but something along the lines of companionship. Rolling out of the academy, he was placed in House Taldryan where, much to his surprise, he sensed powerful, distinct, yet ultimately, familiar presences in the Force; The ability had been excessively honed during his time in the academy. Upon exploring the society of Taldryan, he had found out that it was indeed the Old Folks Home that had been his surprising liberators, and entry into the life that he had been destined to lead.
Spoils of War {32 ABY}
- "Certain blood will be shed for uncertain reasons."
- ―Kazmir
Needing virtually no time to adjust, or get used to his new life as a force of darkness. The young Echani, who was only fifteen, was sent to a newly discovered planet. As a new, and unknown face in the Brotherhood; he was tasked to infiltrate Independent House Revan and provide Taldryan with delicate information. However, when the fighting erupted, Kazmir lost contact with his overseeing officer. Left stranded on an unknown planet in the midst of an annihilating slaughter, surrounded by men and women he did not know, Kazmir made the split decision to join Revan. The young adolescent experienced the horror that was Salas V with his own eyes. Yet he had felt no aversion to it, on the contrary, he indulged in the ever strengthening currents of the Dark Side as they ran rampant on Salas V. Though the war ultimately ended in a matter of weeks, Kazmir was unable to make a timely return to Taldryan’s forces and remained stranded in the ranks of Revan. Presumed dead by his Taldryan peers he adopted a new identity to continue his training in the Brotherhood. Quickly forming a mutual respecting bond with Eiko, then leader of Revan, allowed Kazmir unique access to some of Revan’s deepest and darkest secrets. It proved to be a one of a kind chance to look behind the daily mundane work that was the Brotherhood’s surface, deep into the darkest reaches of what a leader was responsible for.
Working his way to gain the trust of his Revan peers, Kazmir would receive multiple promotions for consecutive successes, both in high-key missions and in other priority tasks, quickly being knighted and becoming a full member of the Brotherhood. A moment that he had longed for and embraced with open arms. Accepted by the Brotherhood at large, he had now gained access to new information and locations to help him deepen his understanding of the to him still mysterious Force.

Invasion of New Tython {35 ABY}
- "Learn. Detach. Transcend."
- ―Kazmir
The horrors of Salas V were a childish nightmare compared to what would proceed on New Tython. Kazmir's darker impulses, his fear, his anger, his passion, he had reveled in them. With every death he witnessed, every deceitful plan that sprung in success, he had felt ultimate joy. He could feel his connection to the Force strengthen, it would have brought tears to his eyes were it not that he had a job to fulfill. The war came to an abrupt end. On the surface it had been an attempt to unite the different factions of the Brotherhood, guiding them to a cooperative destruction of the light-side pest that was Odan-Urr. However, a much more self-centered story took place behind the screens. Old nemesis’s had been dealt with, former bonds had been demolished.

Personal Information
Physical Appearance
Kazmir holds a standard physique for an Echani warrior, standing just under 6'1" and weighting in at about 159 lbs. Due to his genetics, Kazmir sports silver hair, which, for the most of his life has been kept long - about shoulder length, although since recently he has gone for a more fashionable shorter cut. His natural eyes had a similar silver hint to them and have, in the past, been described as mesmerizing. Since the horrors that occurred during the invasion of New Tython he has since recently been seen with artisan-quality cybernetic replacements which have a more cyan tint to them under normal circumstances.
The past four years have had the Echani be at the forefront of multiple battles, coupled with intensive training, which has led to an athletic build. Though not as overly muscular like many of the Dark Jedi around him, he is capable of mustering great amounts of strength. His lithe, agile frame allows him to be quick on his feet and bestows him with an above average flexibility.
Personality
The horrors of the war on Tython have left the young man scared mentally. Generally a somewhat warm personality, he is susceptible to violent mood-swings due to a bi-polar disorder, courtesy of the war. In battle, the young man is a warrior at heart, the Echani takes his fighting seriously, having ideals beaten out of him since being a child. Kazmir knows better than to senselessly charge into a fight, nor will he trust his opponents when offered kindness. Generally warm and kind, when pushed into a corner, he quickly becomes focused and drawn-back, some might even say cynical. Years of combat have left is disposition for dirty tactics rather cheerful as he will employ any maneuver he can to gain an upper hand.
Powers and Abilities
Physical Abilities
Extensive training in Makashi, dabbling in Soresu. Natural affinity for Echani hand-to-hand.
Strong yet surprisingly swift.
Force Abilities
His abilities in the Force are less refined and controlled than those of his peers. His natural, above average, physique lets him boost his abilities to a super-human scale without much effort. His preferred, near purist approach, for saber combat have left the young Echani with very little abilities Force-wise. He feels most comfortable with boosting his own physique. Albeit well versed in the art of telekinesis, the lack of refinement and control transform even the slightest nudge into an obliterating maul.

Equipment

File:PrismaticLBlue.jpg
Apparel
Kazmir generally prefers unassuming clothing that allow him to smoothly blend in with the lesser species in the galaxy. Black riding boots coupled with a black overall are a key element in his clothing style. He can sometimes be seen wearing a black, form-fitting, synth-leather jacket to ward him from the elements.
Torrent
For situations that purely involve the Brotherhood; be it combat, formal meetings, or missions, Kazmir usually sports custom robes. The robes themselves are made of the finest materials and lined with a light armorweave. A red sash emblazoned with the Taldryan crest completes the outfit and signifies his chosen path and allegiance to his Taldryan.
The robes themselves consist of a number of different layers. Some purely decorative, others are more functional.
- Body Glove: A formfitting, black, body glove serves as the first layer of protection. The insulated and airtight body glove wards the young Echani against hazards of a more biological nature. It is known to grant a measure of protection against polluted water and poisonous air.
- Chest armor: A light armorweave that covers his chest and extends to cover his shoulders offers protection against energy based attacks. Though it does not stop the concussive force behind blaster bolts.
- Tabard: A black tabard, splitting over the chest, neatly falls over the armorweave and forms a long, kama-like, tail that covers and protects the back of his legs from low-flying shrapnel and debris that is common on the fields of war. Though most commonly associated with Mandalorian trained ARC Troopers of the Republic, Kazmir adopted the use of the Kama from the Sun Guard.
- Boots & Belt: Exquisite Vornskr-leather boots offer grip on almost any surface and their sturdiness offers some form of protection against debris.
Leather tanned from the same animal was dyed red to serve as a belt and coupled with a cloth of the same color serve as the final piece of the Echani's robes. The belt is adorned with a durasteel plaque decorated with Taldryan's logo.
Weaponry
Forged by Shikyo, Kazmir's lightsaber is as much a nod to his time within Revan as it is a unique expression of his personality. Growing accustomed to the way the hilt falls into his hand owing to hours of intensive training as an agent of Revan, the saber is an extension of the Echani's indomitable will. Though Revan has been closed and Kazmir returned to his one true home in the Brotherhood, he kept the original hilt as a trophy. Replacing the inscribed durasteel plates with smooth new plating, the saber appears more of a custom work than a premade saber.
Shining with a pale, sky blue color for most of its lifetime, the blade of power has since taken on a rarer color. In a display of power and knowledge, the Herald has mutated the malachite crystal that was set unto Kazmir's pendant with powerful alchemy. Once set into the lightsaber, the blade shrieked to life with a viridian hue.
Possessions
Much like his shattered psyche, the young man has lost the use of his natural eyes during the closing stages of the war. They have since been replaced with cybernetic implants. The implants themselves are made with an artisan-like quality and feature multiple functions that put natural eyes to shame. Though the most recognized feature is a color-shift program that reflects Kazmir's mood; the most observed color is a bright cyan, though they will change the a blood red when Kazmir is angered.
Kazmir has in his possession a personal keepsake that takes the form of a Bronzium pendant. The exact origins of the pendant are unknown, even to Kazmir himself, which has led to numerous theories being formed by his peers. The crystal that had rested on the pendant for many years is missing, having been transformed into a power source to fuel his saber.
