Legorii Kryotek Entar is a Krath Archpriest in House Qel-Droma of Clan Arcona, and Quaestor of the House. The apprentice of Strategos Thanatos Arconae, Legorii is the youngest member of the Entar family and the most ambitious of the group. He has served in a variety of roles in the Brotherhood, and aspires to serve in many more before his retirement.
Character History: Beginnings
- "Battlefields are like vaginas...Deep, complicated, and sometimes bloody."
- ―Thran Occasus
A Weapon is Forged
Legorii was born on Coruscant in 152 BBY, the son of a wealthy businessman. His father was over three hundred years old when he gave birth to his second son. In the days of Legorii's birth, the galaxy was relatively calm, and he lived a sheltered existence in his father's mansion.
When the young Anzat turned 20, he first ventured out of his father's shelter, as he was sent to a training academy for young Anzati nobles, an academy run by his uncle on the planet Anzat. He trained there for 15 years, learning to wield weapons of many types. Often they were the exotic weapons favored by the dreaded Anzati assassins, but Legorii familiarized himself with a variety from across the galaxy. After his successful completion of a 15 year education at the youth academy, Legorii's uncle wrote him a recommendation to one of the most prestigious assassins' schools on the planet.
At the age of 36, the young Anzat was admitted into the private school of one of the most renowned teachers in the galaxy. He taught just twenty students, and out of fear and respect, none of those that survive speak his name. Legorii worked with him and two of his other students at that time to hone his own skills. It was with this instructor that he learned the martial arts techniques that he would further develop into lightsaber skills later in life.
Legorii came to love the katana, and treasured it as his weapon of choice. His instructor forced him to throw away his meager credits, making him focus on his combat skills and enhancing himself, not his possessions. Legorii chose Kartranin as his favored sword technique, and developed his talent with the blade through his sparring matches with other young Anzati apprentices. He had come to his adult height and weight, and cut an intimidating figure as an assassin.
A Key Revealed
Legorii turned 50 in 202 BBY, and his master turned 750. The other two apprentices were around Legorii's age, and they had grown tired of endless exercises and painful discipline under their instructor. So, early in the morning on one chilling day in the city, the apprentices struck. Trapping the master inside his own training facility, they triggered the bombs that they had laid overnight, watching the facility explode and burn in the cold.
When the flames had died down and the building became a mere pile of embers, a gaping hole was revealed in the center of the burning floorboards. Legorii was curious, as were his two fellow students, and the three made their way through the smoldering ruins to the stone shaft that dropped off into darkness. They made their way across the floor carefully, the soles of their boots hot. The eldest of the three was the most unfortunate, as one misstep took him through the floorboards into the basement below.
Descending into the shaft, Legorii and the remaining apprentice reached the dark floor and lit the glowrods on the walls, illuminating a single book on a stand within. The other apprentice ran forward, and Legorii seized his opportunity, drawing his katana and stabbing forwards. The blade cut through skin, ligaments, and muscle; blood geysered up from the other Anzat's back as he dropped to his knees.
Stepping over his dying comrade, Legorii approached the stand solemnly. A cloud of dust had risen from the floor of the vault when the eldest student's body had hit the stone floor, and the surviving student knelt to examine the bone protruding from his former friend's throat. He ripped the pendant from around the dead man's neck, dropping it into a pouch within his robes. He touched the cover of the leather tome on the stand, blowing dust off of it as he opened the first page. All of the pages were blank, but pressed into the spine was an ancient brass key. Legorii pried it out of the book, and pocketed it as well.
Finding nothing more in the book, he lifted it from the stand and dropped it on the floor in frustration. However, once the book was removed, a thin steel covering was revealed in the center of the wooden stand. Intrigued, Legorii popped the covering off, and found a small datapad chip hidden in the slot. The Anzat took the chip and slid it into the headset he wore, flashing the information before him. The chip directed him to an exact stone block in the wall, and when Legorii located it he slid it carefully from the wall.
Inside the hole in the wall was a tiny keyhole, barely visible in the dimly lit vault. Legorii withdrew the key and inserted it into the hole, turning it clockwise. There was a slight pop and then a grating noise, as a square of four other stones slid back, a few feet to the right of where Legorii was standing. He moved to peer into the newly opened container, but found that it was empty. Frustrated, Legorii stalked from the vault, climbing out of the shaft into the light of midday.
Searching for Secrets
From 202 BBY to 180 BBY, Legorii Kryotek traveled the galaxy in search of whatever secret had been stolen from him in his former teacher's vault. He sought the other apprentices of the same master, those that had preceded him. Perhaps they would know more of the vault, and maybe one of them was guilty of the theft. The young Anzati assassin came to Tatooine, where a former student had been working as a bounty hunter for a Hutt warlord.
It took months for Legorii to track down the Anzat he searched for, but he ended up finding him in a cantina in Anchorhead. Confronting him, he demanded to know everything about the vault. The bounty hunter claimed to know nothing, and the interrogator came to believe him. The pursuit was not wasted, however, as the hunter produced a list of former apprentices and their last known locations, something that Legorii was critically lacking.
Moving on, Legorii scoured the galaxy for the former apprentices, searching for more information. He sensed within himself that the information he wanted was of great importance, and was worth the time and effort spent searching. It was not for a few years later that he stumbled upon an aged Anzati Jedi Knight, one of just a handful that had been trained, called simply "Koncept". The elderly and dejected Anzat admitted to stealing from his old friend, Legorii's former instructor, and recounted the tale with great remorse.
Koncept had become little more than a shell of a being, rarely drinking of the soup he needed, miserable in his attempts to stay true to the path of the Force that he had been taught. He had been granted leave from the Temple due to his failing health in the last two years, and had come to live alone on Alderaan. Koncept sensed a budding seed of the Force within Legorii, and decided to tell him about his experience as a Jedi.
After his tale was finished, Legorii decided that he would never wish to join the Jedi Order. Even so, the Force fascinated him. All the possibilities, the ways he could grow stronger...he could conquer the galaxy, make himself rich and powerful. He asked the broken down Jedi to teach him about the Force, and the old man relented. For two months he taught Legorii everything he knew, including the dark secret that could give the old man his strength back...
In 180 BBY, the old Anzat lay on his deathbed, and he called Legorii before him. "There is something I declined to tell you. The "soup" we feed on is a form of the Force itself. The stronger the Force is in an individual, the more sustaining their soup is. By feeding on powerful Force-users, an Anzat can increase the Force in himself. This is why few Anzati are made Jedi, despite the Force sensitivty in many members of the race. This is the struggle I have endured my entire life, the temptation to feed on my fellow Jedi and grow in strength myself. I can feed no longer. It is my time to die."
With that, he handed an old datapad to his protégé, the one that he had taken from the vault decades ago. He breathed his last, and Legorii left the house burning in his wake. It was his last payment of respect to the Jedi named Koncept.
Choosing a Path
Legorii had come to live through many years of traveling the galaxy, and had developed his personal emotions and experiences into his own personal philosophy. He had resolved to never restrict himself to the "light" side of the Force, as the late Jedi had pressed for. The appeal of growing in power by consuming the soup of other Force-users excited him, just the prospect of becoming that powerful...
Although he was aware of the Force within him, his limited power was untamed, untapped. The Jedi had declined to teach him anything about the Force, and he was searching for someone that could, someone other than a weak and worn out Jedi, one stuck to the path of the Light. For years, he studied everything he could find about the Force, looking for a teacher that could unleash his true potential.
It would be many years before he would find that teacher, and many events would transpire first.
The Clone Wars
The days of unrest started when Legorii was about 120 years old. Legorii decided to venture out into the galaxy, and became a mercenary, quickly getting wrapped up in the Clone Wars. He could not become a part of the GAR because they were not hiring mercenaries at the time, and instead sought out the CIS. Legorii came to a pro-secessionist mercenary group on Coruscant and traveled with them to Geonosis, where a CIS recruiting agency had been established. The secessionist group was split up, and Legorii was plunged into war.
He joined a small group known as the Maroon Mavericks, a group of about 100 mercenaries that pledged their support to the Trade Federation early in the Clone Wars. Their leader was killed shortly after joining the battle during the Conquest of Muunilinst, leaving the role of leader up for grabs. Legorii seized his opportunity and used the two dozen or so close friend he had within the Mavericks and his own intimidation to help propel him to that leadership role.
The first battle in which he led the Mavericks was on Dantooine. Despite having overwhelming numbers of battle droids in their favor, the battle was won for the Republic. The battle droid commanders did not figure on the stunning leadership of Mace Windu, and failed to use the Mavericks to augment their seismic tanks effectively. Upset with the Separatist leaders, the Maroon Mavericks unit was splintered, and Legorii was transferred alone to serve under Commander Durge.
Legorii ended up being assigned a unit of 50 super battle droids under Durge, and the Battle of Jabiim was the first major conflict that he was an official CIS officer. The battle was disastrous for the Republic due to the tough environmental conditions, but Legorii's unit played a critical role in keeping about 200 clone soldiers pinned along a footpath, cutting them off from flanking an attacking Separatist force, a force that ended up capturing the Republic's Shelter Base.
The Anzati officer was again present at an essential battle, the Battle of Duro. Here, General Grievous deployed Operation Durge's Lance, and the CIS swept to an overwhelming victory. It was after this conquest that Legorii was given some more accolades, and promoted to Company Commander of the 9th Lance line battalion. It consisted of about 650 super battle droids and other personnel, but there were only about 175 under Legorii's direct command.
The war went relatively quietly from this point for Legorii, until he was tossed into the chaos of the Battle of Utapau. General Grievous commanded the 9th Lance to defend against the attacking 212th Attack Battalion, led by Commander Cody. Company B, the one led by Legorii, was decimated early on by the 2nd Airborne Company and the 60 droids that survived the initial wave drew back further to support Company C. In the end, the clones swept through both companies, and Legorii and the other commander were taken hostage, while the rest of the droids were destroyed.
End of the War
Legorii was held for about four months after being transferred from Utapau to a war camp on Muunilinst. There, he was held with about 200 other Separatist prisoners, until liberated by Trade Federation forces. Legorii deserted the military, sneaking back to Coruscant where he was sheltered in his father's home once more, to recover from the pain of being held prisoner and fighting such a rough war.
It was 19 BBY, and Legorii was 133 years old. He studied extensively in his time on Coruscant, and familiarized himself with the ways of the Underworld and high society. He matured greatly in these days, and continued to hone his physical prowess. He began to push himself to new areas of study, eventually discovering some of the myths and legends about the Dark Side and its cruel practitioners of ages long past. It began to fascinate him, and he slowly became more obsessed with the Dark Side.
Character History: Tip of the Blade
Beginning of the Fall
Regoram Kryotek, father of Legorii, was the founder of Kryotek Industries, a security business that sold weapons and armor to high paying organizations. Kryotek did not always deal honestly, and Regoram made his fortune in the Underworld, supplying the gangs with weapons for high fees. Soon Kryotek was worth billions, and Regoram was a very rich man. He never married, and Legorii's mother was some exotic dancer in an Underworld club. Regoram was an Anzati, so Legorii carries their characteristics. During moments of extreme rage, he extends the tentacles from his cheeks to drink the soup of his enemies, before retracting them alongside his nose. Legorii would grow very old before his death, as Anzat could live on soup and bare sustenance for an extended period of time.
The obsession Legorii had developed with the Dark Side continued to push him forward, and he was starving for knowledge. It led him to a recovery from the pain of the Clone Wars. The relatively young Anzat began to scour the Underworld searching for more clues. Here he learned of a place where he could gain even more power, an organization known as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
Legorii sought information on this mysterious group, but they had done well in keeping their business secretive. He poked around in the Underworld, all his known contacts knew nothing. Gang leaders, thugs, barkeepers, spies, drug dealers. Nothing. After over two years of searching desperately all over the nets, Underworld, and everywhere imaginable, he found it. Oddly enough, it had been a near fatal confrontation that Legorii narrowly survived that had led to his eventual betrayal of his father and his journey to the Dark Brotherhood.
A mysterious man in contact with what he called an "envoy" of a certain Clan in the Dark Brotherhood, while aiding him in combat against an angry gang. After a long process of events that Legorii had to undergo to be put into contact with this envoy, he found his way to the planet where his new home would be. Here he was welcomed into a House, Galeres, in the Clan Arcona. At first Legorii felt uneasy, it was so different from his life on Coruscant. But he adapted, and soon learned to thrive in the environment.
Early Life in Galeres
The first step to his life in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood was taking his Test of Lore. This test was passed with ease (on June 8th, 2007) and it represented Legorii's triumphant entrance into his new home. For a long time he had longed for this, searched relentlessly for it. And now he had finally reached it. He began to absorb knowledge quickly, and before long was promoted to Novice from his position as Apprentice (June 13th, 2007) due to his work in his classes at the Shadow Academy.
It wasn't long before the new Galeran secured yet another promotion (June 14th, 2007. This time he graciously accepted the rank of Acolyte, for his continuous work in the Shadow Academy and for being in close contact and forming relationships with his comrades in his House and Clan. Legorii became a member of a battleteam within his House, Battleteam Cabal Cronal. He was also given a Master to mentor him and lead him through his early stages in the Dark Brotherhood, under the Clan Arcona Master Student Program, a great man named Strategos Thanatos Entar Arconae. Unfortunately, many things happened to Legorii at this time, beginning after his taking of the Shadow Oath.
He withdrew into himself, resorting to endless studies in the Shadow Academy and constant research. One of his primary studies at this time was of Shadow Academy history, as well as the swirling mysteries surrounding the powers of the three Orders. He no longer spoke with his friends and comrades, he did not contact Master. The leaders of the House and Clan were not happy with him, and thus he was given the boot from the House. Traveling the galaxy alone, Legorii came to learn many things. After a long time, he returned to the Dark Brotherhood, craving a place within the House he revered above all.
Happily, his request was granted. He returned to Galeres in shame, but at least he returned. His Master took him back in, and he took his place as a Trooper in the new Battleteam Blue Mist, with Talos Shadowblood d'Tana as Commander. Legorii, determined to solidify his new place, took an active role in Blue Mist. For his help and skill in leading the team in Talos' absences, Legorii was appointed Corporal and effective second in command of the team.
Legorii's Blue Mist work eventually got him a promotion to Protector (January 15th, 2008) as well as his work with other House and Clan members. Around this time Legorii took part in a brutal Blue Mist campaign on Cian, and then an important extraction mission on Reecee. These events led into some uneasiness between the two Houses of Arcona, and in the end events escalated into conflict. Just before Legorii received another promotion, this time to Guardian, for his consistent excellence (February 7th, 2008).
Training
Soon after his initiation into the Guardian rank, Legorii began to train relentlessly. He worked with his Master Strategos constantly, learning tips and tricks as well as wisdom. He did not yet own a lightsaber, so he trained with his family katana and an A280 blaster rifle. Legorii began to become better and better at the strategy aspects of missions, planning the Blue Mist operations with Sergeant Caedes and Quaestor Zandro Savric Erinos.
Legorii hopes to do all he can to lead House Galeres to victory. Through his work and training, he believes that he can help the House and Clan to be even better than they are now, no matter where his skills are utilized.
Yuuzhan Vong Incursion
The 'skipper believed to have crippled the Bloodfang engines
When the Yuuzhan Vong fleets arrived at the doorstep of the Dajorra System, the Defense Fleet and Expeditionary Force under Clan Arcona were mobilized to defend their homes. Consul Timeros was at the helm of the M/STRKC Eye of the Abyss as he commanded the Clan fleets to defend against the conquerors, as each Dark Jedi in the Clan was sent to counterattack. The enemy was strong, and had come in great numbers. Legorii's Master, Strategos, sent him to the M/LFRG Bloodfang to aid the naval officers in a flanking maneuver with the ACC Thanatos. The Bloodfang's sister ship, the M/LFRG Medusa had already been evacuated after being surrounded by hostile Vong capital ships.
Proconsul Strategos took command of the Acclamator, positioning it to execute a minor pincer motion with the Bloodfang to clear the left flank of the Clan Arcona flagship. However, the cunning Yuuzhan Vong commanders recognized the motion, withdrawing from combat with the Medusa, leaving it immobilized, and circling around the Lancer-class Frigate. The commanding officer of the frigate did his best to resist the superior firepower of the enemy, but it was useless. Legorii's Dark Adept Master ordered him to escape the dying ship in an escape pod, and he did so.
Legorii was headed on a course to the Acclamator, but with the destruction of the smaller Bloodfang escort, the Yuuzhan Vong capital ships moved in on the Thanatos. Strategos had to act quickly to try and avoid its destruction, but saw that the situation was futile. He ordered the full evacuation of the ship, pleading with his Consul, Timeros, to order the full evacuation of Dajorra.
Meanwhile, the Anzat warrior decided he could not go to the Acclamator that his Master was fleeing, and was not able to get in contact with him. Running out of fuel, the pod was pulled slowly down by the gravity of the planet Eldar, and Legorii began to fall towards the planet. He crash landed in the forests of Eldar, but survived due to the cushioned interior of the escape pod and his powerfully built frame. However, he was bruised all over, cracked two ribs, and broke his left tibia in two places. The young Arconan was determined, however, and quickly made the trek to Estle City.
Once he made it to the city, he found the star port. He saw the Yuuzhan Vong ships in the sky, coming down to the surface to begin their horrible Vongforming. Knowing that he was running out of time, the Anzat found a transport that would get him into space. At the port, he met up with two young Arconans, Viktor Aralyus and Aiko, also stranded on the planet. He found a 121-B interstellar yacht, produced by Kuat Leisure. It wasn't as large as some other yachts, and Legorii could pilot it alone. So, using the Force, he hijacked the ship and got it off the ground. The Yuuzhan Vong had not yet achieved the full control over the planet that they would, and Legorii managed to slip out into space.
Once in space, a patrol of four Yuuzhan Vong warriors managed to pursue the yacht under the three young Arconans, and Aiko took the turret. He shot down two of the Vong, and Legorii took out a third. However, the fourth succeeded in boarding the yacht, and Aiko took the yacht controls as Legorii and Viktor moved in to kill it. After a heated battle, during which Legorii suffered a shattered collar bone, the Vong was killed, and Aiko flew the ship back to meet up with the Clan once more while Legorii's collar was set and he rested. The catastrophe of what had happened didn't fully set in until the Anzat had a chance to glance out a viewport.
The Yuuzhan Vong warrior that boarded
The wreckage was supreme. The debris from Arcona's capital ships littered the space in the Dajorra System, and Legorii felt the emotional blow of the crushing defeat his Clan had been dealt at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. The Anzat managed to meet up with the remnants of the Clan, constructing their temporary home aboard the remaining ships. Legorii tried to make himself at home...but the pain of the defeat would never leave his heart.
Character History: Tested by Fire
Blue Mist
- "...and Blue Mist, an eternal shroud, we strike when they cannot see, not the impure darkness of shadow but the impenetrable cloak of impending doom. Blue Mist."
- ―Legorii Kryotek
In the aftermath of a devastating war, the Clan elders were forced to pool their resources to scrape together a military aboard the capital ships. It was but a day into the voyage when a young and eager officer came to Legorii and asked him to join the newly formed Blue Mist Battleteam. The young man, who then called himself Caedes, had high hopes and ambitious goals for the group. Legorii, just as ambitious, joined enthusiastically, and was quickly elevated to Corporal (second in command).
Legorii welcomed his duties as Corporal of Blue Mist, the tasks keeping him busy and making him feel useful, although his relationship with the Commander was often informal. They were like cousins, constantly taking jabs at each other and pulling pranks. Most of the time their playing is good natured, but occasionally they find themselves at odds over the future of the Battleteam. Legorii was the founder of the first Blue Mist base, later destroyed by their enemies, the Highlanders.
One of the reasons Legorii was so successful in Blue Mist was due to the close relationship he had with Commander Talos, through his wife Jade Annedu.
Cian
The first mission as a team was to Cian, a planet ravaged by war. House Galeres had an ally there, a weapons supplier they depended on since their shortage following the Sixth Great Jedi War. Their Quaestor at that time, Zandro Savric Erinos, sent them to aid the suppliers, who were engaged in a conflict with a group of radical cultists called the Gwelio. The weapons dealers, the Night Stars, welcomed Blue Mist’s aid. For weeks, the team helped the Night Stars build their defenses and keep the Gwelio off of their backs in constant skirmishes.
It was here that Legorii most developed his combat skills, in the heat of battle against elite enemies. His katana was always in his hand, and the blade became worn and nicked. After months of combat, Blue Mist decided that they had to strike at the heart of the Gwelio. Making their way deep into enemy territory, the team split up and tore through the Gwelio headquarters. After killing dozens, the Gwelio mobilized and matched Blue Mist toe to toe.
The battle was climatic, and many casualties were sustained. After skirmishes through the halls for at least a half hour, Blue Mist heavy demolitions set charges about the building, and then leapt to safety. The entire headquarters was blown apart, with Blue Mist barely surviving.
Reecee
The planet Reecee, a tropical planet in Wild Space
Shortly after the Cian conflict, Blue Mist was sent in with the second and third tactical assault brigades to rescue a captive Soulfire squad on Reecee. The team was split apart as fighting erupted in the streets, and only the resourcefulness of Legorii and Illian saved the team from destruction.
Soulfire was saved in the nick of time, and all of Blue Mist made it out alive. This mission served to bolster the confidence of the team, because it showed that they were an invaluable asset to the Clan.
Rishi
The team went on a delicate operation here, to shut down a ring of strange crime lords, the Highlanders. The operation went on for weeks, as the Highlanders put up heavy resistance. Guerilla warfare was waged in the forests, as snipers and artillerymen alike were plunged into chaos for days.
In the end dozens of Highlanders were slaughtered, but Blue Mist survived once again. They received numerous accolades upon their return for shutting down a ring that had been such an obvious threat to the betterment of House Galeres, and indirectly Clan Arcona itself.
Dark Orb of Qel-Droma
"Dark Orb, raise your fists and raise your cry
Join hands once more and feel our pride
Never fallen, never to fall
Forever triumphant
Forever...Dark Orb."
-- Legorii Kryotek
In 29 ABY, when Legorii was a Knight, he was called before the Proconsul. After long Summit meetings, it had been decided upon that a new battleteam would be opened in House Qel-Droma. The team was a reborn Dark Orb Phyle, and was to be commanded by Legorii. He was immediately placed at the head of a squad of Dark Jedi, including his Master Strategos Thanatos Entar, former Quaestor and longtime friend Zandro Savric Erinos, Wolvie "the jackal", and friend Etah d'Tana.
Dark Orb was a team of Dark Jedi commanders presiding over a team of four other marines. Together, the team could amount to 60 warriors, twelve of which would be Dark Jedi. Legorii's four marines were some of the most distinguished in all of Dark Orb. He had a Covert team, codename Delta.
Also, Legorii has become an expert on House Qel-Droma history, as he spent many days studying the ancient tomes and annals in the Qel-Droma Temple. It was during his studies at the Temple in his early weeks as a Qel-Droman that the young Knight took part in thwarting a theft of a few treasured relics of Clan Arcona.
Thwarting a Theft
Just three weeks after becoming a part of House Qel-Droma, Legorii was called upon to defend a few of the Arconan relics being stored in the Qel-Droma Temple. In the early hours of the morning, three AEF troopers entered the Temple bearing the proper security clearance. After moving rapidly down into the vault area in the lower levels of the facility, proper security officials located and reported a potential loophole in their protective codes. Acting quickly, Legorii was one of four Dark Jedi warriors on location that were sent in to eliminate the threat.
Two artifacts had already been removed from their vaults, the Ring of H'tamen and the Staff of T'lamas. By a stroke of luck, the amateur criminals were struggling with the Altar of R'cayne, serving to slow them down significantly enough for the Dark Jedi to catch up. The thieves decided to abandon the altar, moving in an attempt to break the defenses around the Bridge, an important tome of Clan Arcona. Legorii leapt to defend the artifact, cutting down one of the thieves with Soulflayer.
The other Dark Jedi acted quickly enough to slay the other thieves, who had started towards the Lightsaber of Ulic Qel-Droma, and soon after a squad of historians and examiners arrived to replace the items and check for damage. For their service, the four Dark Jedi were allowed to study the tome of Life Energy for a week each. Consul Mejas Doto ordered an immediate re-analysis of the security surrounding the artifacts, and personally went around to check the artifacts, starting with the Serpentine Throne and Memories of the Force. The only artifact shown to have minimal damage was the Book of Shadows. Security was doubled on the Dark Orb Crystal and Banner of Shadow, artifacts kept in the Consul's chambers.
Uneasy Alliances
Legorii was Tetrarch of Dark Orb during the period of uneasy alliances, a feud between three Dark Brotherhood clans; Clan Scholae Palatinae, Clan Plagueis, and Clan Arcona. During the chaotic events he led the team from the front, providing an example to the newer members of the team and helping the Clan against its foes. He was commended by Quaestor Vorion for his efforts during the Feud, as was his entire team. Despite a disappointing third place finish, Legorii felt as though his team had grown and they were more likely to push through the next conflict with even greater performance standards than before.
A few months after the feud concluded and Aedile Tirano Yamayura had been transferred to House Galeres to serve as Aedile there, Legorii was appointed the new Aedile of House Qel-Droma, under new Quaestor Taigikori Aybara. He bid his team farewell, and announced Arador, his apprentice and capable friend, as his successor. The new Tetrarch's first act was to allow the Aedile to use the four soldiers he had worked with in Covert Squad Delta as his guard. Legorii graciously accepted the gift, and took his place at Taigikori's side as Aedile.
Quaestor of Qel-Droma
Unification
When the Brotherhood military forces finally made their way back to Antei in an attempt to pry the planet out of the fingers of the hated Yuuzhan Vong, Legorii took his place alongside his Arconan comrades to drive the enemies back. However, when the reached Antei, they found that the Vong had been wiped out by the forces of a mysterious Jedi Master, the likes of whom Legorii was fortunate enough to never encounter.
After playing his part in the land invasion, Legorii managed to survive the final breakdown of the Jedi forces, missing the spectacle of the space confrontation in Antei's orbit from his place on the ground. After regrouping with his Clan Summit, Legorii learned that Taigikori had been forced to return to Headmaster Aabsdu's side, as the Shadow Academy flagship Arcanum had apparently been destroyed in the battle. As such, he would be taking over as Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, effective immediately.
Now tasked with helping rebuild a House, a Clan, and a planet in the wake of a destructive war, the Entar dove right into his duties, setting about reorganizing the Dark Jedi under him and checking over the reports of casualties, missing in action, and destroyed equipment. The road back to full strength was a long one, but at least Antei was once again under Brotherhood control.
Reconstructing Dajorra
The warriors of Clan Arcona were weary of war, their Dark Jedi forces pushed to the brink of annihilation. Most of the planets in the system had undergone "Base Delta Zero" treatment, with their surfaces completely sterilized of the Yuuzhan Vong and their influence. However, the more populous and iconic planets, Selen and Eldar, among others, had not been sterilized, as per the Consul's orders. It was on those planets that the Arconan Armed Forces were centered, cleaning up the last remnants of the Yuuzhan Vong and repairing as much damage to the city hubs as possible.
House Qel-Droma's ranks had been decimated. Dozens of Force-users missing in action, or confirmed killed, had left the House gasping for breath. Legorii rapidly stabilized the House, but the system economy was in free-fall, calling for drastic action by the government. After just a few months of time as leader of Qel-Droma, the Krath had dealt with crises from all areas of his domain, and taken them head-on.
Personality
Legorii has a fairly even temper, as his father was, and still is, renowned for his diplomacy. He was taught to be slow to anger, and to never let anger take control of him. Although many of the more radical Dark Jedi feel that his careful control of his anger betrays the true intent of the Dark Side, Legorii believes that cold anger is useful anger, and is the true weapon of the Dark Side, while hot anger is an all consuming force that is devastating to the user and all around him.
The Anzat is a cunning man, befitting of his Krath association. He does not step across lines he does not wish to cross, and never regrets his actions, for they are all carefully planned and calculated. For this reason, Legorii has progressed greatly in his Clan in a short period of time, and continues to grow in power with his mind leading the way. There are many Dark Jedi that rely solely on chaos and cruelty to move forward, and it is they who often fall into pits of their own design. Often, the Kryotek heir relies on subtle manipulation to achieve his own ends, but weaves webs of lies constantly to cover his tracks and ensnare those who attempt to catch him at his work.
One of his flaws, however, is that he trusts too easily. When he first entered Blue Mist battleteam, he threw his trust on his Commander, Talos, immediately. At first, no ill came of it, but a few months later the Commander betrayed his Clan and deserted, going to Clan Scholae Palatinae. Because Legorii trusted him, he took large amounts of information to his new clan, information he should not have known. Legorii did this again with Vorion, first his Quaestor, and then his Proconsul. Trust can be deadly in the Brotherhood, but it is a lesson Legorii learns slowly.
Another potential shortcoming in his personality is undying devotion to his Clan. This extreme loyalty, the price of which was paid in blood many times over, could endanger the young Krath under dire circumstances were the choice between loyalty and destruction must be made. It is a blessing and a curse, because loyalty leads others to trust you more, and thus allows for easier manipulation.
As a Dark Jedi, he is driven by a lust of power. In line with the Krath principles, he believes that the best way to assume power is to pursue it through knowledge. Unlike many Dark Jedi, he does not seek immortal status. Immortals can fail, and those in awe of them will falter in faith. Immortals of the history annals, immortal in deeds, these immortals can never fail.
Romance
One would think that he could find the girl of his dreams in under 280 years of life, but Legorii has not become romantically entangled with another in all those years. In his days on Coruscant, after the Clone Wars, he spent much of his time in the Underworld clubs, but never became romantically involved with anyone for more than an evening. His father had wanted him to bear a child to be heir to the Kryotek fortune before he betrayed him and left for the Brotherhood, but in the three years since arriving at Clan Arcona, the Dark Jedi has distanced himself even further from romance.
Weapons
- "Does it really matter who is on the "receiving end"? In my experience, you try and make sure that your enemy receives the end that you intend."
- ―Legorii Kryotek
Legorii is most well known for his fighting ability with a katana, but it is not his only weapon. He keeps most of his weapons in the small room he calls his own on the BAC Shadow, only calling on them when he goes off to combat against the enemies of Arcona. He also has the habit of naming his weapons, often very creative names to inspire fear in his enemies, and sometimes names to commemorate fallen warriors.
Soulflayer
File:MartyrObeliskGreen.gifLegorii's new lightsaber, SoulflayerSoulflayer is the name of Legorii's prized emerald lightsaber, his primary weapon since reaching the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. It has a fairly simple hilt, but a very keen blade that reflects its wielder physical and mental state. The blade took four days to build, after he already had the materials, as Legorii wanted the weapon to be as close to perfect as he could make it, as a novice in the art of lightsaber construction.
The lightsaber was first carried into battle in the Clan Feud against Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis, where Legorii brought it with him to face down many enemies in the Antei Combat Centre, from both of the rival Clans. The weapon was resilient and powerful, the greatest blade the Anzat had ever wielded. He christened it "Soulflayer" because he knew that the blade was staked out to not only steal the lives of many men, but break their spirits before taking their lives. It is the perfect weapon of the Dark Jedi, and it never leaves Legorii's side.
Immolation and Vindication
Legorii's twin vibroshivs, Immolation and VindicationThese two vibroshivs are two of the blades closest to Legorii's heart, as they were the weapons given to him by his Master, Strategos, when he passed his Knighthood Trials. Both blades are razor sharp and perfectly fitted to Legorii's style, although he does not carry them into battle very often, favoring the longer blades of his katana and lightsaber. They are displayed in a case in his room.
The Anzat once bested a former Tyro of his, Etah d'Tana, with his two blades. Remarkably, the blades don't bear a single nick or scratch, despite being used in such sparring sessions against uncovered blades. This is a testament to the durability and expert craftsmanship of the Spectran-made blades.
Dreamrender
Legorii's heirloom katana, DreamrenderDreamrender is the weapon that Legorii is most well known for, as it was his weapon of choice from his earliest days in the Brotherhood until the time of his Knighthood Trials, where he was granted the right to wield his prized lightsaber, Soulflayer. The katana was given to Legorii by his father, Regoram Kryotek. It wasn't long after that the Anzat left his father's comfortable penthouse on Coruscant in search of the Brotherhood.
The katana was passed down through quite a few generations, father to eldest son, until it reached Legorii's hands. By that time, it had its fair share of nicks and marks, and Legorii did his duty to add some more. It is a very dependable blade, and the Anzat is well used to its feel in his hand. He always takes it to combat with him, although it now takes the backseat to his lightsaber.
BlasTech A280 Rifle
The only other weapon Legorii owns is a BlasTech A280 Rifle, which he takes with him to nearly every battle. It is a dependable rifle, and he likes its firing range and capacity. His rifle is not named, as he periodically switches it out with a newer rifle from the armory. When wearing his rifle in official capacity, Legorii keeps six colored ribbons tied around the barrel, saying that they represent the six kills he made with it during the Eighth Great Jedi War. Other Clan members have disputed his claim of six kills, but he swears to them that it will be sixty by the time the Brotherhood is rid of the Vong influence.
Starfighter
- "If you can't think and blink at the same time, you don't belong in a cockpit. In fact...where'd I put my gun?"
- ―Legorii Kryotek
File:Tieinterceptor.jpgIncizor, Legorii's starfighter
Legorii flies a TIE Avenger named Incizor, and he obtained the ship when he was awarded the title of Prodigy of Galeres. It came with him to House Qel-Droma, and has become a well known sight at the head of some of the fighter squadrons when the Arcona Expeditionary Force flies patrols or small-scale operations. The Avenger was flown in the House Feud against House Qel-Droma, emerging victorious in a great number of dogfights.
In 30 ABY, the starfighter was retired to the hangar, as Legorii was required to serve alongside the Quaestor on the bridge of the BAC Shadow. It has been flown, with it's owners' permission, by a handful of different members of House Qel-Droma. Legorii had it cleaned and updated after the Black Tempest Feud, in anticipation of getting back into the cockpit during the conflict on the horizon.
