Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...

Upon landing at Kuat City, Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of Borcatu. Koryn cut the Borcatu in two. As he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.

Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.

However, Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. He did strike the Master with a high amount of the lightning, though. He collapsed from the exertion. In his barely conscious state, Koryn heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to stab the Rodian when Robin hobbled over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder.

In his barely conscious state, Koryn heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.


The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.

When the Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.

== A New Path (29 ABY) ==
[[Quaestor]] [[Timbal]] had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his commlink and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.

Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.

Timbal nodded to Kalak and the [[Rollmaster]] spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the [[Order of the Dragon]]. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness.

Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”
== A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY) ==
A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar.
Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chiss Chiss Expansionary Defense Force] – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.
=== A Pearl in Space ===
[[image:Csilla.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Csilla]]
Eventually, the shuttle came upon [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Csilla Csilla]. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.
The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Expeditionary_Library|Expeditionary Library]]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Turbolift turbolift] down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.
=== Inside the Library ===
The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.
The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.
Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/SG-4_blaster_carbine SG-4 blaster carbine]. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.
=== Targets ===
The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.
Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.
The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.
When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.

Template:Krath charinfo Koryn Thraagus is a journeyman in House Acclivis Draco of Clan Scholae Palatinae. He is currently at the rank of Guardian and working hard to achieve the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He is currently the apprentice of Robin Hawk, Journeyman Senator for the House, and the Claw of Callousness in the Order of the Dragon.

A Rodian's History


"The future is where we should look. Never remember the past."
―Koryn's philosophy on the past.

A Good Life

Koryn Thraagus started out his life as any other - a child. He was born on Kuat and lived a good life. His father was an extremely successful merchant - too successful some would say. Koryn believed that he sold black market goods, but it was never proven. His older brother was in the Imperial navy; a lieutenant. In his early teen years, his father left his family for dead, Koryn included. His father had beaten them all to near death when he was drunk one night. Or at least Koryn's mother would like to have believed he was drunk...

Koryn vowed to avenge them by killing his father. When his mother and brother tried to stop him, Koryn killed them in a fit of rage, a decision he has not looked back on since. He slit his own mother's throat, and stabbed his brother through the heart. As the blade ripped into his mother's throat, Koryn felt an overwhelming sense of power. Perhaps that is why he killed his brother, too.

Searching


"I knew you'd be the one to find me. I always knew you held grudges. They're dead aren't they?"
―Koryn's father, Dreegho, upon seeing his son.

Koryn then travelled the galaxy in a ship he stole from a pirate. The Silver Palar. He travelled the galaxy from Rodia and Tatooine, to Korriban and Coruscant. But there was little luck. Eventually his father was found on Sullust. He had gone to Sullust in hope of escaping his past life and so became a miner. Koryn choked his father to death using a power that he now understands to be the Force. He finally felt he had avenged his family as his father's screams echoed out into the night sky.

A Bounty Hunter's Life


"Death is the price we must all pay for life."
―Koryn.
Koryn Thraagus as a Bounty Hunter

When he was once again aboard the Silver Palar, Koryn realised that he had a knack for hunting and decided to become a bounty hunter. Koryn's favourite weapon of choice at this time was an old DC-15A blaster rifle, a relic from the Clone Wars and the only object he had kept from his past life. It had been left to him by his grandfather who claimed he acquired it in a tense, nail-biting game of Pazaak. Koryn was never quite sure of this as his grandfather was but a humble shopkeep. Koryn presumed that it had been stolen and then sold on to his grandfather. But as a child, he had always enjoyed hearing the story.

Over the years he took on many jobs from many different clientele. None moreso than the Hutts. The ruthless gangsters always wanted someone killed from rival gangs and traders to petty crooks and degenerate gamblers. Koryn only ever accepted half of the credits awarded to him from the Hutts though, and they loved him for it. They gave him more and more assignments because of this and Koryn soon became a favourite.

It's Just Business

File:Onderon Shop.jpg
Koryn's Shop on Onderon

Koryn soon matured into a fine young Rodian and soon became bored of the bounty hunter life. He travelled to Onderon where he set up a repair shop. He gained a respectable amount of business and, in turn, a respectable amount of credits; not as much as the nobles but he was comfortable all the same. Soon, the inevitable happened, and a rival set up a shop across from Koryn. Seemingly unaware that Koryn was an ex-bounty hunter, the rival Ikotchi constantly mocked and taunted him. One evening, Koryn watched the Ikotchi leave his store. He grabbed the vibroblade that he had forged himself and followed his rival through the dark streets. The Ikotchi turned down a narrow side street and Koryn struck quickly. The small Rodian overpowered the unsuspecting shopkeep. He pulled the blade to the Ikotchi's throat: "As all repairmen should know, not all things can be fixed." Koryn had whispered before spilling the blood of his rival.

A Meeting And A Betrayal


"Life is ruthless, and you must be ruthless to cope with it."
―Torak Occassus to Koryn.

Not long after the night he had murdered his rival, Koryn was called away on business to Nar Shaddaa. His client had asked to meet in a cantina. Upon entering, he ordered a glass of Juma Juice at the bar. A human came and sat down next to him who turned out to be his client. The client introduced himself as Torak Occasus and announced that he was a distant cousin of Koryn. It turned out that Torak didn't even have any business and it was just a ruse to get Koryn to meet with him. Torak then told him that he could feel the power within Koryn. Koryn learnt of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood of which his cousin was already a member.

Somehow, Koryn and Torak managed to get into a fight with two humans. The cousins killed the humans; no-one really cared on Nar Shaddaa. The humans were probably thugs or petty criminals anyway. But Koryn never expected his cousin to betray him. After Koryn had run one of the humans through with his blade, Torak swung his sword. The glistening, blood stained blade ripped through Koryn's left arm. The Rodian collapsed from the pain. But he clearly heard his cousin's words before he blacked out: "Feel that? That pain? Get used to it. You'll likely feel worse than that in your lifetime." Koryn had contemplated and meditated over these words many times, both before and after he joined the Brotherhood. When he awoke, the Rodian found that his arm had been replaced with a cybernetic model; Koryn always presumed this was the work of his cousin - an apologetic gift - but he never proved it.

A Place in the Galaxy

Koryn remembered clearly the words his cousin had said about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He spent the next few months flying from system to system searching for the Brotherhood and his place in the galaxy. Eventually, he came upon the planet of Antei, the Brotherhood's home planet.

Finding Darkness

When Koryn arrived on Antei, he made his way to the Shadow Academy. He was welcomed by the Master At Arms, Kraval Novir and promptly completed the Test of Lore. Koryn was inducted into House Acclivis Draco of Clan Scholae Palatinae. He spent as much time as he could at the Shadow Academy, honing his wisdom of the Dark Side. The Rodian was helped along greatly by the words of Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine. Cuchulain provided encouragement to the Apprentice whenever he could and soon Koryn found himself promoted to the rank of Novice.

Koryn was diligent in his studies, which was very unusual for a Rodian. He hoped that by studying, he would be more like his grandfather, and less lke his father. He hated his father with his very essence. Every day, the memory of his father drove Koryn closer to the Dark Side. It ate into him like a plague, unearthing the true evil within him. The more the hatred burrowed within him, the stronger and more powerful the Rodian felt; the stronger he felt, the more time he spent in the Academy, refining his knowledge of the Dark Side. Koryn had finally found a purpose for his hatred of his father, a purpose that would serve him well on many occasions...

Koryn was approached at the end of a senate meeting by Aedile Tra'an Reith. The Aedile asked Koryn to capture a Jedi of equal rank. The Jedi in question was currently on Kuat, Koryn's home planet. The Rodian was accompanied by his Master, Robin Hawk on the journey.

Upon landing at Kuat City, Koryn's mind was flooded with memories of his childhood, both good and bad. The Rodian felt that he should return home. Wandering the streets of the city, Koryn found himself confronted by a dilapidated shop - the shop once belonging to his grandfather. Upon entering, he realised that the exterior mirrored the interior. The shop had been ransacked and was now inhabited by a family of Borcatu. Koryn killed the Borcatu and as he did, he noticed movement in one of the back rooms.

Visions


"Whatever has you trapped is inside you. Face your past Koryn. Only you are holding the door closed."
―Robin Hawk to Koryn.

When he entered the room, the door slid shut behind him, rendering the room in darkness. He attempted to open the door with the Force but it would not move. Turning around he was faced with something he never thought he would see again; something he never wanted to see again. His father. His father's throat was mangled beyond recognition - he shouldn't have been able to breathe.


"You never had the Force as an ally."
"In death I learnt many things.
"
―Koryn and Dreegho in conversation.

His father drew a lightsaber and engaged his son in battle. Koryn had trouble as his father appeared to be more experienced than him. Eventually, with encouragement and guidance from Robin, Koryn emerged victorious. Koryn stabbed Dreegho through his contorted throat and the door shot open. His Master entered and found Koryn kneeling over an empty floor. She informed him that everything that occurred came from within him.

The Master and the Apprentice


"You Jedi are so narrow-minded. You know only what we let you know."
―Koryn to the Jedi Protector, Talar.

Koryn had a vision of the Jedi he was hunting at his home. He led Robin, once more, through Kuat City to the outskirts. Koryn was confronted by another run down building - his childhood home. The two Dark Jedi entered stealthily. They could hear two Jedi in conversation. The Apprentice had been given an assignment to capture a Dark Jedi. But he wouldn't complete his task if Koryn had anything to do with it. Robin stepped forward to confront the Jedi Master while Koryn lured the Jedi Protector through the house. The Jedi cornered Koryn in a room and subdued him. The Jedi took the Rodian back to the main hall of the house. Upon entering, Koryn saw Robin lying at the feet of the Master, a gaping wound in her shoulder. Koryn mocked the Jedi and the Master challenged him to a lightsaber duel. Koryn was determined to avenge his Master and put up a fierce battle.

Koryn knew that defeat was inevitable. Backing off from the Jedi Master, Koryn reached out to the Force. He manifested the Force as lightning. However, due to his lower rank, he wasn't able to control the lightning. The Jedi Master was struck with a majority of the lightning, killing him. He collapsed from the exertion. In his barely conscious state, Koryn heard the sobbing of the Jedi Protector, Talar, at his Master's feet. The Jedi approached Koryn and pulled him up. He ignited his lightsaber and was about to end the Rodian's life. Fortunately, Robin had made her way over and stabbed Talar in his shoulder; revenge for what his Master had done to her. The Jedi collapsed from the pain, as did Robin, having used the last of her strength defending her Apprentice.

The three were out for some time. Koryn was the first to awake from the unwanted slumber. He grabbed a vial of bacta and healed Robin and Talar's wounds. Within a few minutes, Robin was awake. She looked over and saw Talar lying unconscious beside her. She grabbed her lightsaber and was about to end the Jedi's life. Fortunately, Koryn parried the attack and persuaded Robin against killing the Jedi. He then activated his commlink and requested a transport to pick them up. Koryn helped Robin out to the transport then returned to the house for the Jedi.

When Talar awoke, he was confronted by Koryn and Robin. The pair attempted to persuade the Jedi to reveal everything. But he refused to talk. Koryn and Robin returned the Jedi to Tra'an on Judecca, the scars of the journey visible but worth it.

A New Path (29 ABY)

Quaestor Timbal had tasked Koryn with gathering data on all life on Antenora. It was a somewhat dangerous task considering some of the species found on the planet, but was mostly boring. Adjusting the saline drip on an intravenous tree, Koryn jotted down notes on his datapad. Finishing his observations, he put all of the equipment back in its place. He was about to return to the Quaestor to report his findings for the day when he sensed a malevolence in the Force. The Rodian grabbed his lightsaber but didn't activate it; whatever it was wasn't going to attack him just yet. He checked the immediate area with both his eyes and the Force but couldn't see anything. He activated his commlink and was greeted by a high-pitched squeal that caused his antennae to twitch involuntarily. He was being jammed, and that was never good.

Suddenly and without warning, they struck. Three figures in black combat suits appeared from hidden areas. Two ignited blue lightsabers while the third activated a red lightsaber. Instinctively, Koryn ignited his own lightsaber and brought it up to block the swings that were already striking him. The attackers gave him no time to counter them. It was their speed and proficiency that surprised him more than anything. It was true he had faced talented wielders of a lightsaber before, but this appeared to be beyond anything he had been confronted by.

Unexpectedly, one of the two with a blue lightsaber reversed his grip, the blade running parallel with his forearm. The style was rare and Koryn had only seen it once; one of his Housemates had been practicing it just a few days previously. The Rodian took several steps back, disengaging himself from the fight, but still holding his lightsaber in a defensive position. The others, oddly enough, seemed to allow him to back away from them.

The Rodian examined the assailants with the Force, and he found that he recognised two of them immediately, the one with the red blade and the one with the reverse grip. The third had shrouded himself in the Dark Side, making his presence feel like a black hole in the Force. Koryn compared the presences with those he had felt before. “Tra’an? Kalak?” Asked the Rodian, not believing who had attacked him. All three removed their balaclavas revealing the third to be none other than the Quaestor himself, Timbal Palpatine.

Timbal nodded to Kalak and the Rollmaster spoke: “Koryn Thraagus. You have proven yourself to be worthy of HAD's most prestigious order, the Order of the Dragon. Your combat skills, even as a Guardian, are most impressive, and your actions have reflected well upon the House. Thus, you are inducted into the Order as the Fang of Callousness. Congratulations, Guardian, and do not fail us.”

A Chiss Invasion? (29 ABY)

A beeping alerted Koryn to an incoming call on his commlink. Activating it, Robin told him to meet her at the hangar bay along with his lightsaber and no other equipment. Koryn disliked leaving behind his other weapons. If there was one thing he had learnt as a bounty hunter it was that you could never have too many weapons and you could never be ‘over prepared’. His lightsaber was already attached to his belt, but he returned to his room, regardless. He threw on a hooded cloak, before making his way to the hangar.

Upon arriving at the hangar, Robin informed him that they were going to Csilla, the Chiss homeworld and the planet upon which was built the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force – CESD – Library. Intel had reported that there was a possibility that they were preparing an attack against the Brotherhood. It struck Koryn as odd because the Chiss never started a battle but only retaliated when attacked themselves.

A Pearl in Space

Csilla

Eventually, the shuttle came upon Csilla. It looked to Koryn like a vast pearl hanging in space. It was a simply beautiful planet. However, upon landing, he found that the atmosphere didn’t mirror the view from space. The planet had been locked in an ice age for millennia and the terrain was made up from glaciers, snow, and ice. Upon exiting the shuttle, both Master and Apprentice drew their robes around them tightly and pulled their hoods up attempting to shield themselves from the harsh climate as best as they could. Fortunately, Csilla didn’t harbour any carnivorous creatures, such as Wampa; the Chiss were the only species that lived on the planet. The pair travelled north-west from their current position. They had to keep moving or risk freezing. Robin was holding up better than Koryn as her mind had been trained to ignore extreme temperatures.

The journey took them several days and they were forced to battle fierce snowstorms and frigid temperatures. Eventually, a huge construct came into view. The building was obviously the entrance to the [Library]. Two Chiss stood outside, guarding the entrance. Robin told Koryn to ‘persuade’ them to go elsewhere. Reaching out with the Force, Koryn made them believe that they had heard a noise to the East of the Library. The Chiss clutched their blaster rifles and left their stations for the East. Quickly, the two Dark Jedi entered the building. They took a turbolift down to the Library; all buildings on Csilla were built below the ground.

Inside the Library

The pair stepped out into a vast hall. There was row upon row of shelves, which reached up to the ceiling. Each shelf was overflowing with handwritten scrolls. Some scrolls were visibly ancient and beginning to tear. The centre of the hall was occupied by several computers, some of which were in use by Chiss. But whatever information they needed to find would obviously not be on these computers. There was a doorway at the end of the hall and the Dark Jedi made there way towards it, using the Force to distract all of the Chiss around them. There were a few Chiss scattered around the room, but not enough to cause too great a problem should they be spotted. Koryn slid the door open with the Force and the pair entered. The door closed behind them and they were momentarily plunged into darkness. Lights then began to flicker on. There was row upon row of computer equipment, stretching the length of the room.

The Guardian and his Master began to walk towards a door at the end of the room. When they were about halfway, the door behind them slid open. A Chiss entered the room. Koryn charged towards him. When he was within striking distance, the Rodian activated his lightsaber and slammed his hand around the Chiss’ throat. He interrogated the Chiss for anything he knew about an attack on the Brotherhood but he didn’t know anything. The Chiss had outlived his usefulness and Koryn ran him through with his lightsaber. Robin suggested that the body should be hidden. In the corner of the room was a pile of unused computer equipment. Lifting it up with the Force, Koryn hid the body underneath it. They ran through the door at the end and found themselves in a near identical room. Not wanting to risk getting caught again, they ran the length of this room.

Stepping through the doorway, they were met with two armed guards, each holding an SG-4 blaster carbine. The Dark Jedi quickly dispatched the guards. They stepped over the corpses and into another hall. There were many Chiss in this hall, and Koryn and Robin both knew that the Force wouldn’t hide them in here. Both kept their lightsabers close. Looking around, Koryn could see eight guards all holding the same rifle as the two they had killed, but through the Force, he could sense twice as many.

Targets

The Rodian and his Master managed to get surprisingly far into the hall before they were spotted by a guard. “Everybody down!” Yelled the guard. Guards from other areas of the room rushed over. They unleashed a torrent of fire at the Dark Jedi. A majority of the fire was deflected back at the guards and at least five fell. Koryn and Robin leaped in opposite directions and began to slaughter the troops. They all fell to the Dark Jedi’s lightsabers. Quickly the two decided on the western doorway. The crowd of Chiss moved out of their way for fear that they would be the next victims. They hurried over to the door before any more guards arrived. Or worse, high ranking members of the CEDF.

Entering the room, they found it to be a computer facility. The room was currently occupied by four technicians. They stared at the Dark Jedi as they entered and were quickly killed. Robin hacked into the computer while Koryn guarded the door. Forty minutes later, the Sith Warrior announced she had found the information. Looking over, Koryn saw that Intel had been mistaken and no attack was planned. As Robin shut down the computer, Koryn opened the door. An entire platoon of CEDF troops was waiting for them. They ordered Koryn to drop his weapon, but the Rodian simply lunged forward and swiped at the troops. He killed three instantly. At this close range, the troops couldn’t get a clear shot at Koryn. Robin leaped over Koryn and the troops and began to attack from behind. The troops appeared to be firing in random directions, hoping to hit anything. One shot hit Koryn in his cybernetic arm. He winced in pain, a groan of pain escaping his lips. This spurred him on and he attacked with a renewed vigour. It didn’t take long to dispatch the grunts and the pair ran back to the first hall.

The hall was empty of all life, and the two didn’t like it. Scanning the room with the Force, they found that they weren’t alone. Elite CEDF troops were strategically scattered around the room. They both ignited their lightsabers and fell into defensive stances. They moved slowly through the hall. Koryn saw movement in the corner of his eye, which was undeniably one of the troops. Suddenly, Robin ducked instinctively as a blaster bolt fired where her head had previously been. The bolt had clearly been fired from a sniper rifle, and judging from the angle of the shot, the sniper was positioned on top of one of the bookshelves. Robin used the Force to jump up on top of one of the shelves. Fire came from all angles attempting to take her down. She charged towards the sniper while Koryn began his attack on the ground. When the sniper had been dispatched, Robin jumped down and began to slaughter all on the ground with her Apprentice.

When all had been killed, the two left the Library, returning to the cold on their long trek through the icy winds back to the shuttle, safe in the knowledge that no attack would be presented on the Brotherhood.

Family

None of Koryn's close family is left alive. The following section details all that is known of his family.

Grandfather

File:Gleevor.jpg
Portrait of Gleevor Thraagus

Koryn's grandfather, Gleevor Thraagus, was born on Rodia in 68 BBY. He was born into clan Thraagus who like most Rodian clans, were frequently engaged in clan wars. Gleevor was extremely peaceful for a Rodian and rarely got into any fights growing up. He was a more academic Rodian and took pride in his studies. In 51 BBY, he enrolled in Matza Academy and took courses in Business Management, Business Ethics, and Accounting; he passed all three with flying colours.

After graduating, Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to open his own sales company. However, he soon found that Coruscant was too huge to warrant a successful small business. He left Coruscant after a month and travelled to Ryloth. He set up his business in Sal'Kaasa, a haven for Rodians on Ryloth. Over the coming months, the business flourished and the Rodian opened another shop in the Ryloth capital of Lessu. Although his second shop didn't do as well as his shop in Sal'Kaasa, it did still provide a modest income. Gleevor bought and sold most things at his shops. But the one thing he vowed never to buy was black market or stolen goods.

Because he could only be at one shop at any one time, Gleevor had to hire someone who could look after one of the shops. He hired a young female Rodian, Felima Nokata, who would look after the shop in Sal'Kaasa. Every few days, Gleevor would visit Sal'Kaasa to check how Felima was doing and to pay her wages; a modest sum of 250 credits a day. This was more enough to get her by in the world and could afford her a few luxuries.

Soon, Gleevor's visits to Sal'Kaasa became more and more frequent until he found himself travelling to Sal'Kaasa every day. He realized that he was falling in love with Felima. One evening, he met Felima as she was locking up the shop for the night. He gave her a ride back to her homestead on the outskirts of Sal'Kaasa. Felima thanked him for the ride and before she could get out of the speeder, Gleevor leaned towards her and kissed her. It was then that Felima, too, realized that she had fallen in love.

In 39 BBY, Gleevor and Felima travelled back to Rodia where they married. From that day forth, the Thraagus and Nokata clans on Rodia were united. When harm came to one clan, the other clan would retaliate; they were a fearsome force, and the wiser clans steered clear of engaging with them.

In 37 BBY, Gleevor returned to Coruscant to open another shop. This time around he was more successful and he gained a moderate amount of business. A month later, he left Felima on Coruscant and returned to Ryloth in order to find a couple of Rodians to look after his and Felima's (they now both owned the company) business in Sal'Kaasa and Lessu. Over the years that he owned the company, he returned every two or three months to check on the shops and pay his staff a generous wage.

In the same year, Gleevor and Felima had their first child - a son - Koryn's father. The Business on Coruscant flourished after Gleevor's son was born.

Gleevor decided to move his family to Kuat where he could raise his son away from the noise and bustle of the city. Gleevor opened another shop on Kuat. This proved to be his most successful shop and, years later, where he acquired the DC-15A Rifle that later became Koryn's weapon. Apart from travelling to Coruscant and Ryloth, Gleevor spent the rest of his days on Kuat.

A year later, he had another child, a daughter by the name of Kuluq Thraagus. Again, the business flourished after the birth of his child.

In 13 ABY, Gleevor passed away. He was surrounded by his loving family. Before he died, he left Koryn with the DC-15A Rifle that he had always enjoyed hearing the story of.

Grandmother

Koryn's grandmother was born Felima Nokata in 64 BBY on Rodia. Like Gleevor, she too was academic. However, unlike Gleevor, she was also brutal; she engaged in her first clan war at the age of ten and rose up the ranks in the Nokata clan. She was home-schooled by her mother and learnt a number of languages including: Basic, Twi'Lek, and Zabraki.

At the age of twelve, Felima once again participated in a clan war. After two days of constant fighting, she began to suffer from fatigue and dodged a blaster bolt too late; it hit her in her right arm. In that moment, she becam feral and charged the opposing Tal'Hoku clan. She killed many Tal'Hoku's before she arrived at her target: Jera, the Alpha male of clan Tal'Hoku. Impressed at her feat of strength, Jera called off the clan's attack. He bowed down to the stronger Rodian and agreed to merge the two clans as one under the Nokata banner.

Over the four years that Jera had spent in clan Nokata, he and Felima developed a close and rather intimate relationship. In 48 BBY, Felima caught Jera in bed with another Rodian girl. In a fit of rage, she cut the girls throat, and snapped Jera's spine like a twig. Many have speculated, Koryn included, that such strength was a sign of untapped Force potential and that Koryn inherited his own Force powers from her. Fearing what the clan may do to her, Felima fled to Sal'Kaasa on Ryloth where she would live in self-imposed exile.

Soon, Felima found that she had to get a job. She found a small sales business in Sal'Kaasa that was advertising for help. She entered the shop and was greeted by Gleevor Thraagus, who was currently stacking shelves. She told him that she was looking for a job and Gleevor immediately asked if she could start the next day. Felima enthusiastically agreed and became an employee of Gleevor.

Gleevor often visited Sal'Kaasa every three or four days, but Felima noticed that, in 46 BBY, Gleevor's visits became more and more frequent. One night, while she was locking up the shop, Gleevor was waiting for her. He offered her a ride back to her house; she accepted. When she was climbing out of the speeder, Gleevor grabbed her arm and pulled her close. Gleevor kissed her passionately and Felima realized that she had fallen in love with him.

In 39 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled back to Rodia. Felima was particularly nervous about seeing her family after so long. She wondered if they still begrudged her murdering Jera. But with Gleevor by her side, she felt as if she could take on a Rancor single-handedly.

When she arrived at her family's home, they greeted her with open arms. When she asked if they had forgiven her for murdering Jera, her father smiled: "He was Bantha poodoo," he had said. "He was arrogant and cocky. You should have killed the schutta when you set eyes on him." Her family were particularly interested in Gleevor, asking him what he did and where in Rodia he came from. Felima's grandfather claimed that he had known Gleevor's great-grandfather when he was younger. He said that they had grown up in the same village and that they almost brought the two clans together.

After, visiting Felima's family, the lovers visited Gleevor's family. His family were ecstatic that he had found a nice girl like Felima and couldn't believe it when he told them that they had come to Rodia to be married.

The next day, the couple were married in an extravagant ceremony. Clans Thraagus and Nokama were finally united under one banner. Gleevor often claimed, to the amusement of Felima, that he "tamed" her.

In 37 BBY, Felima and Gleevor travelled to Coruscant to finally realize Gleevor's dream of owning a shop there. Coruscant was so... different to any planet that Felima had visited before. It was actually loud to look at; it was always bustling with activity. The shop on Coruscant did moderately well; a lot better than Gleevor succeeded the first time he had visited Coruscant.

In the same year, Felima and Gleevor had their first child, Koryn's father.

In 24 BBY, Felima and Gleevor decided to move their family to Kuat. They could raise there son more easily there, away from the noise of Coruscant. The couple opened another shop here that proved to be their most successful.

A year after arriving on Kuat, Felima and Gleevor had a daughter, Kuluq Thraagus.

In 10 ABY, at the age of 74, Felima passed away.

Jera


"Twas not mercy that stayed my daughter's hand; it was passion."
―Felima's father on her sparing Jera's life.
File:Rodian Clan War.jpg
Clan Tal'Hoku engaged in a clan war

Born in 74 BBY, Jera was raised by his grandparents; his parents had died during a clan war. As such, he was taught traditional values of war. He was raised on conflict from an early age. By the time he was six-years-old, he had already mastered seven forms of hand-to-hand combat and was learning an eighth. He was also extremely skilled in weapons use; he first picked up a blaster pistol at the age of three. Since then he has been taught how to handle both melee and ranged weapons to tremendous quality.

By the time he was nine-years-old, Jera had already participated in four clan wars. At the age of sixteen, along with a group of disgruntled Tal'Hokus, Jera overthrew the current Alpha male. The group elected Jera as the new Alpha male. He was one of the youngest Alpha Males of a clan in the known history of Rodia.

Father

Very little is known of Koryn's father. Below is what has been scraped together from archives and databanks.

Koryn's father was born Dreegho Thraagus on Coruscant in 37 BBY.

In 24 BBY, Gleevor and Felima moved their family to Kuat. Dreegho was enrolled by Gleevor into the best Academy on Kuat that credits could afford.

At the age of 16, in 15 BBY, Dreegho dropped out of the Academy telling Gleevor that he did not enjoy his studies. He became a salesman like his father. Many presume, Koryn included, that Dreegho bought and sold black market goods, but it was never proven.

At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Dreegho met his future wife and Koryn's mother, Veexo. Sources say that the pair fell in love at first sight.

In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married in a large ceremony. Rumours suggest that many noblemen and rich politicians were present at the ceremony, although these rumours are not confirmed in any databank or archive.

In 5 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo have their first child, Koryn's brother.

In 7 ABY, Dreegho and Veexo have their second child, Koryn.

In 10 ABY, Dreegho's father passed away. Devastated by the loss of his father, Dreegho turns to drink. Within a few weeks, he is an alcoholic. This causes many problems with his family and will haunt him later in life.

In 22 ABY, Dreegho viciously assaulted his family; his motives for this are unclear. In fear, he flees to Sullust to become a miner in the hope of creating a new life for himself.

In 24 ABY, Koryn manages to track Dreegho down. He is killed by Koryn's latent Force abilities.

Drex

While working as a miner on Sullust, it is believed that Dreegho changed his name to Drex Olkana. He worked under this guise for two years. Although he still enjoyed a drink, he had stopped drinking as much. He led a good life on Sullust, but found no one that he felt he could call 'friend'.

Mother

As with his father, very little is known about Koryn's mother.

Koryn's mother was born in 31 BBY as Veexo Hu'San.

In 13 BBY, Veexo graduated from the Academy on Kuat.

At some point between 10 BBY and 7 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho met and fell in love.

In 6 BBY, Dreegho and Veexo were married.

In 5 BBY, Veexo and Dreegho have their first child, Koryn's brother.

File:Veexo holding Koryn.jpg
The only known picture of Veexo. She is holding a young Koryn.

The couple have their second child, Koryn, in 7 ABY.

In 22 ABY Dreegho beats Veexo and the rest of his family to near death in a, supposedly, drunken rage. Koryn vows that he will find and kill Dreegho. Veexo and his brother attempt to stop him and he kills them out of hatred for his father.

Brother

Koryn's brother was named Luxor. He enrolled into the Imperial Academy and eventually made the rank of lieutenant; he was one of only two non-human officers along with Grand Admiral Thrawn, but his presence was relatively unknown.

Choice Of Weapons

DC-15A Blaster Rifle

Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle

Koryn's DC-15A Blaster Rifle was left to him by his grandfather shortly before he died. As a child, his grandfather had often told him that he had won it in a tense game of Pazaak against a Clone General.

Although heavier than the more common E-11 Blaster Rifles, Koryn prefers this as it has less recoil than a lighter weapon. However, Koryn found that one downside to the DC-15A is its difficulty in aiming due to the instability of plasma gas. But with training in the Force, Koryn has learnt the art of telekinesis in order to keep the rifle more stable and, in turn, more accurate.


Vibroblade

File:Koryns Vibroblade.jpg
Koryn's self-forged Vibroblade

While working as a repairman on Onderon, Koryn forged his own Vibroblade. The blade was forged from Cortosis, which Koryn had to steal from a nearby prestigious workshop. Due to the brittle texture of the Cortosis, it didn't take Koryn long to forge the blade. The hilt of the Vibroblade Koryn forged from Chalon and burnt to a deep bronze hue. The hilt, he then wrapped in Tyrian Cloth, a reminder of his species' heritage on Rodia. Koryn has wished many times that he had a faithful weapon such as this by his side when he was a bounty hunter.

Lightaber

Koryn only has a basic training with a Lightsaber. However, he is becoming more proficient in using it. He is currently only proficient in Form Zero but he also has very basic training in Shii-Cho. As a habit, the lightsaber hangs from his belt at all times.
