==Biography==
=Personality and Physical Description=
 
===Early Life (10 BBY-7 ABY)===
Kodais was born the second son of Rehm and Sanlee Solatus in the city of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Iziz Iziz] on Onderon.  As with many Onderonians Rehm was a patriot and very proud to be Onderonian.  He insisted upon only Onderonian being spoken in his home and made sure his boys learned it.  He also made certain that his boys knew their history.  Along with his brother Daksis, Kodais would listen to his father for hours about the days of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Freedon_Nadd Freedon Nadd] and pre-Republic Onderon, the Republic's treachery and how it drew their world into its many wars. 
 
Kodais was 10 years old when the Empire destroyed Alderaan.  Too young to fully understand the implications of the cataclysm, Kodais was awed by the power of the Empire.  Two years later Rehm was arrested by Imperial authorities at his home in front of his family for "rebellious activities".  Rehm was never seen or heard from again.  (It was not until after the fall of the Empire, when Imperial records were released to the public, that Rehm had been summarily executed.)  The loss of his father dealt a huge mental blow to Kodais and taught him true fear and hate.  From that point onward living a normal life became a bitter memory for the Solatus family.  Kodais was bullied and ostracized at school for his father's alleged crimes and arrest.
 
The harassment by his fellow students, some of them friends, became so intense that his mother was forced to withdraw him from school and teach him herself.  Sanlee proved a poor teacher and Kodais was compelled to teach himself.  With no friends apart from his brother and little exposure to the world at large Kodais withdrew into himself.  In accordance with Onderonian tradition Daksis became the head of the family.  In order to save himself from the fate Kodais experience Daksis publicly denounced his father, causing friction with his mother and brother.  Since the arrest of her husband Sanlee battled serious depression with fits of hysteria.  Kodais was devoted to helping his mother and cared for her whenever he was home.  He began to resent Daksis for not giving their mother as much attention.  Daksis began spending more and more time away from the house leaving Kodais alone to keep the house and care for their mother.  In secret Kodais believed his brother legitimately did support the Empire and looked forward to leaving.  His suspicious were confirmed three years later when Daksis told the family that he was joining the Imperial [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stormtrooper_Corps Stormtrooper Corps]. 
 
Kodais was devastated and saw it as a betrayal of their father.  Just before Daksis left for basic training the family got into an argument during which Kodais physically attacked his brother, but was beaten back.  Impotent with rage, shame, and embarrassment Kodais declared that he had no brother and stormed from their home.  Daksis joining the Stormtrooper Corps shattered the already fragile sanity of Sanlee and she took her own life before Kodais could return home.  Kodais was hysterical with grief and had to be hospitalized for several days.  He was able to attend his mother's funeral albeit under mild sedation.  The previous resentment that Kodais felt for his brother quickly became rage.  He never forgave Daksis.
 
With the death of Sanlee, Kodais became the sole executor of the family property and finances; Daksis having relinquished his claim upon his enlistment.  With nothing left, Kodais focused on his school work and looked for a way offworld.  Shortly after completing his compulsory education an official Imperial message arrived for Sanlee.  Kodais opened the message and discovered that Daksis had been killed in action.  The news of his brother's death did nothing to quell his rage but instead fueled it.  Now Kodais would never be able to confront his brother for the death of their mother.  With no remaining ties holding him back Kodais sold the home and the vast majority of his possessions and joined the newly formed Onderonian Army at the age of 17.
 
===The Army (7 ABY-12 ABY)===
Kodais joined the Onderonian Army as an Infantryman.  Immediately after basic training he volunteered for the Commando Indoctrination Program (CIP) and was accepted.  The following 12 weeks was remembered by Kodais as, "Easily the most difficult and soul churning time in my life."  While training in the CIP Kodais received advanced weapons training from blaster pistols and E-WEBs to mines and rockets and everything in between.  Furthermore, he was trained in airborne operations with jetpacks, [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Repulsor_pack repulsor packs], and "obsolete" parachutes.  Integrated into the entire program was instruction in and use of small unit infantry tactics.  Upon completing the CIP he was assigned to the 9th Commando Regiment, 173rd Air Assault Division.
 
====The Commandos====
{{Quote|Welcome to the suck.|Sergeant Arvis Dyson to Kodais Solatus}}
Under Imperial rule Onderon was not authorized any military outside of a small planetary defensive force.  After Onderon had thrown off the yolk of Imperial rule and joined the New Republic it was decided that a new Army be built.  The Commandos were part of that Army.  The mission of the Commandos was to support the New Republic in its war against the Empire and protect Onderonian interests abroad.  Consequently, Kodais saw considerable action against the Imperial Remnant.  He saw many friends killed and wounded in nameless battles on unknown worlds against an enemy merely trying to survive. He was himself wounded in action twice during these battles.  After four hard years Kodais could no longer take the lifestyle and applied for a transfer to the Iziz Beast Rider Corps.
 
====The Beast Riders====
While the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beast_Riders Beast Riders] had ceased to be a functioning arm of the Onderonian Military millennia before, Iziz maintained a small ceremonial unit out of tradition.  For many it was a highly sought after assignment and largely regarded as a dream job.  Kodais’ buddies could hardly believe he had been accepted.  Of course they good naturedly derided his orders by calling into question his courage and general masculinity.  However, every one of them secretly envied him and understood why he had made the request.  Unlike the Commandos there was no formal training to becoming a Beast Rider.  One was merely assigned to the unit and the training came on the job.  After roughly six months Kodais was fully capable of caring for and riding the monstrous [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Drexl drexl].  Times were indeed easy in the Beast Riders.  Except for the occasional demonstration or ceremony there was little to do but tend to his drexl and ride.  The only time Kodais was sent off-world as a Beast Rider was to provide an escort for the Onderonian Senator to [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant Coruscant].  While on the mission Kodais and the other Beast Riders stayed in luxury on Coruscant for two weeks and only put on a single demonstration for a group of dignitaries.  Finally, after six years Kodais fulfilled his contract and was honorably discharged from the Army at the age of 22 years with the rank of Sergeant.
 
===Dark Jedi Brotherhood (13 ABY-Present)===
After being discharged from the Army Kodais attempted to adjust to civilian society and had an exceedingly difficult time at it.  Before his discharge Kodais imagined that the people of Onderon would be grateful for his service.  He envisioned getting a job, marrying, and living the quiet life.  He was to be sorely disappointed.  The Onderonian people were ambivalent about the service of their veterans and generally looked down on them as too dim or dangerous to make it in civilized society.  As a consequence, many employers did not hire veterans.  As a patriot with an unfathomable love for his planet and people, Kodais was appalled and deeply hurt by the reality of being a veteran on Onderon.  In his rage he gave up the one thing he prized above all else, his Onderonian citizenship; a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life.  Now a stateless person Kodais left Onderon.  After nearly a year of working as a hired gun his seemingly aimless meandering lead him to the Eos system and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
 
During his time spent in the Brotherhood Kodais served in many campaigns in various capacities for his Clan and House.  As a Krath he explored the Force through mysticism and ritual.  In time he achieved the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and took on two apprentices.

Kodais views himself as an Onderonian patriot and is exceedingly proud of his heritage.  Like most Onderonians he is xenophobic.  His pride in his heritage in addition to his upbringing has lead him to believe in the superiority of the Onderonians over most other sentients.  He also hates the Republic, the Jedi, and the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian Mandalorians].  He sees Onderon's current problems the fault of the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi Jedi] and the Republic.  The atrocities the Mandalorians visited upon the Onderonians are difficult for him to forget as well.  He is more tolerant of the Empire though.  Under the Empire, Onderon was for all intents and purposes self governing.

Kodais is a bit of a social elitist.  He believes there is an order to the universe and one should know their place in it.  That being said he has a very peculiar sense of honor.  He gives his superiors the respect due their station and his peers a kind of professional courtesy.  The person however, must earn his respect.  Underlings get no respect from him at all until they have proven themselves, which is difficult to do.  All this makes Kodais appear snobbish or arrogant at times.  Manners are a big part of Kodais' sense of honor.  In his opinion good manners are the hallmark of professionalism and civilization.  A peer meeting Kodais for the first time may think him overly formal, but that is just his way of being polite.

As a xenophobe he is convinced of humanity's superiority over the rest of the universe.  He looks down his nose at all non-humans, and basically chooses which near-humans he accepts.  He views clones to be lower than non-humans.  To Kodais the artificial creation of any sentient being is an unforgivable blasphemy against the natural order of the universe.  The only real fear he possess is a case of thalassophobia.  He grew up never seeing the ocean or any other body of water larger than a river or pond.  Consequently he is uneasy around large bodies of water and, though he can swim, is quite nervous in or on the water.  Another one if his quarks is a distinct aversion to being touched.

Being that Kodais was raised in a temperate jungle environment, he hates being cold.  This was compounded when, while in the Army, his hands suffered mild frostbite during a mountain training exercise.  Ever since then his hands' functions become impaired and painful in cold weather.

Kodais Solatus is an enigmatic and reclusive figure; generally keeping to himself and rarely becoming involved in many of the Brotherhood's workings. Though he has military experience and does occasionally enjoy a good fight, Kodais prefers the scholarly pursuits of alchemy, history, and philosophy.

Personality and Physical Description


"What in the Hell is that?"
―Kodais Solatus upon seeing his first Gungan.

Personality

Kodais views himself as an Onderonian patriot and is exceedingly proud of his heritage. Like most Onderonians he is xenophobic. His pride in his heritage in addition to his upbringing has lead him to believe in the superiority of the Onderonians over most other sentients. He also hates the Republic, the Jedi, and the Mandalorians. He sees Onderon's current problems the fault of the Jedi and the Republic. The atrocities the Mandalorians visited upon the Onderonians are difficult for him to forget as well. He is more tolerant of the Empire though. Under the Empire, Onderon was for all intents and purposes self governing.

Kodais is a bit of a social elitist. He believes there is an order to the universe and one should know their place in it. That being said he has a very peculiar sense of honor. He gives his superiors the respect due their station and his peers a kind of professional courtesy. The person however, must earn his respect. Underlings get no respect from him at all until they have proven themselves, which is difficult to do. All this makes Kodais appear snobbish or arrogant at times. Manners are a big part of Kodais' sense of honor. In his opinion good manners are the hallmark of professionalism and civilization. A peer meeting Kodais for the first time may think him overly formal, but that is just his way of being polite.

As a xenophobe and humanocentrist he is convinced of humanity's superiority over the rest of the universe. He looks down his nose at all non-humans, and basically chooses which near-humans he accepts. He views clones to be lower than non-humans. To Kodais the artificial creation of any sentient being is an unforgivable blasphemy against the natural order of the universe. The only real fear he possess is a case of thalassophobia. He grew up never seeing the ocean or any other body of water larger than a river or pond. Consequently he is uneasy around large bodies of water and, though he can swim, is quite nervous in or on the water. Another one if his quarks is a distinct aversion to being touched.

Being that Kodais was raised in a temperate jungle environment, he hates being cold. This was compounded when, while in the Army, his hands suffered mild frostbite during a mountain training exercise. Ever since then his hands' functions become impaired and painful in cold weather.

Physical Description

Though tall, Kodais is not a big man by any means; most would consider him of medium build. His brown hair, greying slightly at the temples, is generally kept fairly short to keep maintenance low. Likewise his beard is clean shaven. Unlike most human Onderonians his eyes are blue. This is evidence that there was at least one immigrant in his family tree. His olive complexion however, is typical of a human Onderonian.

Kodais has a few identifying marks, none of which can be easily seen. The first is a barcode tattoo above his left ear that he received while he was a Beast Rider. The Beast Riders of old were prisoners that had been sentenced to die outside the walls of Iziz. Over time they tamed the beasts of Onderon and formed their own society to combat Iziz. These prisoners had their identification numbers tattooed on the left side of their heads. After the Beast Riders were integrated into the Onderonian Armed Forces many new Riders mimicked these tattoos as part of their esprit de corps. In keeping with tradition Kodais had his service number tattooed on his head. The other marks are scars. One is a small scar on his lower right abdomen from a wound sustained in a knife fight. The others are a collection of small scars covering the left side and back of his neck and left forearm. These were left by shrapnel from an air burst munition while Kodais was in the Army.

Since Kodais likes to be inconspicuous he wears whatever clothing is in style for the world he is currently on. When traveling or on more rustic worlds his attire generally consists of a fatigue style jacket and trousers with boots. While in Brotherhood controlled areas he wears his robes.

Personal Life

Always the scholar, Kodais has a penchant for language. He speaks Basic, Sith, and Bocce fluently. There aren't many worldly interests for Kodais outside of the Force and he lives a somewhat monastic life. However, he does have a taste for high end whiskeys such as Whyren"s Reserve and Johrian.

Though not necessarily a gambling man, Kodais appreciates a good game of sabacc or pazaak and usually takes his deck with him when he travels. Styling himself as a man of culture, Kodais is an amateur collector of unusual items and artifacts. Strangely he doesn't have a specific item or theme to his collection, just whatever he finds interesting.

Equipment and Possessions

DC-15A

Carried by millions of Clone Troopers during the Clone Wars, the DC-15A was as much a symbol of the Republic as the soldiers who carried it. Heavy and cumbersome, the weapon was deemed "obsolete" after less than a decade of service. Tens of millions were either destroyed by the Empire or put into storage. Millions more fell into circulation on the black market. The one belonging to Kodais is one of those.

Kodais has carried his DC-15A in every Plagueis conflict from the War of Ascension to the Tenth Great Jedi War.
