Young Punk

Macron grew up as a space tramp, riding ships in and out of Coruscant and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. There was an older sister, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. The young man learned how to hurt people from her, as well as rudimentary Force skills. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness.

The two became separated when they stowed away on Jib Kopatha’s interstellar pleasure craft as young teenagers. Anaxela had been a working girl, serving drinks and undoubtedly other unsavory whims of the patrons. Macron hated to think of it. Still, they both needed the money to escape the dregs of Coruscant. Macron had been a simple stevedore, moving cargo and driving repulsor-lifts for low pay and passage. He later learned his slicing skills from Jib, who realized the human’s vast intellectual potential.

Vader had come later and smashed many of the Falleen crew during the time after the destruction of the first Death Star. His victims included Macron’s first real girlfriend Xora. The young woman had sought to kill the Dark Lord with her green brethren below decks in revenge for the atrocities committed on her home planet. When the Empire’s forces showed up and utterly decimated the Bothan’s spynet vessel, Macron thought his sister was dead.

The young man now spent many years traveling about the galaxy, mainly in the Outer Rim. He continued to hone his slicer skills, and learned basic piloting and repair work. After the end of the Rebellion and Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force.

Jedi Training

"After seeking out the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, I was then trained as a Jedi padawan . I had sought out the Jedi as a means of understanding, but they proved to be worthless curs full of slogans, lies and idiotic nonsense." - Macron

Yavin Four was now Macron Goura’s home, and his prison. The rigid monotony of the Order temple made life easy and regimented. Macron was trained to be a Jedi scholar and librarian. Macron much time in the halls and libraries of the Temple. One hall in particular fascinated him the most- the Hall of the Sith. He stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as Cortosis weave alchemy, making Sith mutants, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his journey to the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak padawans to a pulp. This earned him their dislike, and an immediate expulsion and deportation back onto the hard streets of Coruscant by the Jedi council. He had also stolen an ancient Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of Sith Alchemy.

Streetpunk Macron, Dark Skulls gang

On the Streets Again

Macron Goura was now left without a master. Macron remembered how bad street life could be. He was immediately mugged of his few meager possessions except for the book, which they thought was worthless. He was then beaten severely by a gutter punk swoop gang named the Hawks. Upon regaining consciousness he found himself to have been captured by yet another gang, the Dark Skulls. They wore horrific, garish skull like facial paint and affected a dark look with chains and black leather. They offered him a choice- join us, or be rat fodder. He agreed to join, of course. Their rite of passage was a fight. He surprised the head gang bully by clubbing him to death with his own baton, and then two other gang members before they called a halt to the rite. These punks had never met any real Force users. Even though Goura was only a padawan, his awful rage, fear and hatred had fueled his Force power. He had now totally fallen to the seductive call of the Dark Side. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders.

After amassing many credits through foul means, he decided to get away from Coruscant. He heard a voice in his dreams urging him to travel again. He stole an aging StarWing gunboat from a storage yard, and left his homeworld yet again.

Feeling the Power of the Dark Side

Macron Goura had then traveled back to Yavin Four on his last credit, pursuing rumors of the Dark Side. During the long hyperspace voyage, he meditated and contemplated a crystal from the ring his grandmother had given him. The crystal was Corusca, an orange crystal from the crushing gasses of the planet Yavin. This would one day give his light saber a searing orange color and a very focused beam.

When he arrived on Yavin Four, he felt an urge to visit the Dark meditation temple built by Exar Kun. Although Kun's spirit had been banished, other Dark Side spirits occasionally visited this cauldron of Dark power. Macron met the Spirit of Darth Malak here. Malak was another fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord who had written the very tome Macron had stolen. He bade Macron to travel to the Lyspair system to seek the Dark Side.

This was what the Dark powers had been whispering to him. “Seek your Destiny on Lyspair…” And so he did. During the journey, he began to tatto his face in the manner of the ancient Sith.

Finding a Master

There he met and battled Nekura Manji Keibatsu, and was beaten into submission as Manji's new Apprentice. Macron became an expert at the art of Teras Kasi and the use of weapons and lightsabers under Manji’s care. Under Manji's tutelage, Macron became a Knight and constructed his first lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.

Macron as a Knight

Macron spends much time in combat with Manji at the Antei center, as well as using the library at the Shadow Academy and the labs to investigate the workings of Sith Alchemy. With Manji to guide him in the Force, he has recently made a breakthrough in the area of Sith alloys. In fact, he spent so much time at the Shadow Academy that the Headmaster made him an instructor.

Later, Macron has ventured to the planet of Falleen with Prince Xizor and his Ragnosian comrades to overthrow a usurper, killed an old enemy from the Jedi Academy days on Metellos, and participated in a Jedi hunt in the abandoned tunnels of Sepros. Macron was also selected as a Black Guardsman for multiple periods of service.

Digging Up the Past

Recent trips to ruins on Yavin Four have allowed Macron to begin a compilation of Sith alchemical data. He has visited several worlds with Dark Side Sites such as Korriban, Ruusan, Dxun and even the witch world Dromund Kaas.

The experiences he weathered allowed him to create a customized lightsaber.

Macron's Corusca Lightsaber

It has an orange Corusca gem, Nextor and Phond Novae, and a unique quadranium and phrik casing.

His Consul at the time Xanos Zorrixor gave him the task of perusing the Holocron of Antar IV, A Clan possession that bore further study. In this holocron, he learned many secrets of the Sith during the periods of Lord Kaan and Lord Malak. The means to make Dark Armor, Dark droids, poisons, Sithspawn, and alchemical weapons had been opened to him. Macron also created a Sith Heavy Battle Suit for himself.

Using that information, Macron also created several abominations such as a true Silooth Beetle during the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy. The knowledge also enabled him to assist his Consul and Proconsul in the creation of the Lightsaber Guide for the Brotherhood.

A Leader is Born

Macron's Sith Battlesuit

Mononoke served as the Aedile and Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. Having now stepped down as the Kressh Quaestor has given Macron more time to experiment and hone his fighting skills. The alchemist has trained two dark Jedi to Knighthood as a Master. They are Siyavash Kaida and Eldrad Sin.

Macron has also learned Echani, including Mastery of the Form from the Grand Master's Royal Guard. The Headmaster has recently granted him the title of Dark Maven for his work in the Shadow Academy. He continues to serve in various Black Guard positions. Also, Mononoke has been appointed the Dark Side Compendium Tribune.

The recent Kyataru campaign and Great Jedi war have seen him expand his knowledge of war, as he developed foul chemical weapons for use in artillery barrages by the Clan. Mononoke personally led the artillery command of Clan Naga Sadow in the assault on the city of Milmefia during the Great War, as well as being the General in command of a legion of Nihilengia clones on Kyataru. He is currently experimenting on making Sith-spawned Ewoks.
