Character History

Introduction

Macron, 26 aby

The Sith known as Macron grew up being a space tramp and thug, riding ships in and out of Coruscant and hanging about with an unsavory crowd. He later trained at the Praxeum and left in failure. The Brotherhood took him in with open arms, and he began training in the Sith arts and alchemy.



"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 the Force. They proved to be worthless curs full of moronic slogans, lies, and idiotic nonsense."
―Macron


Young Punk

There was an older sister in the beginning, cruel and mean but dedicated to her brother. As youngsters, they survived in the putrid filth of lower Coruscant by means of their wits and wickedness.

Neither knew their parents, although it is rumored that Tremayne may have been their father and Aurra Singtheir mother. They are both partially synthetic humans. The two were grown outside the womb from genetic material harvested in secret by Tremayne. Purportedly, some of the material was actually cloned DNA from Lord Malak found stored in a redoubt by Tremayne's researchers. They were both later discarded, for unknown reasons.

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. Mac 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 "crush" Xora. 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 worked briefly as gemfisher on Yavin. After the end of the Rebellion and Empire, he felt drawn to study the Force at the Praxeum.

Jedi Training

The rigid monotony of the Praxeum made life easy and regimented. Macron much time in their halls and libraries. One subject in particular fascinated him the most- the Lore of the Sith. He stole away to read forbidden tomes whenever he could on such exciting topics as Cortosis weave alchemy, making Sith mutants, poison, and other horrible things. Of course, this began his slide down into the Dark Side. Unfortunately, Macron had a sadistic streak. There was nothing more enjoyable to him then beating weak padawans to a pulp. He also stole an ancient Sith tome from the library that contained the secrets of Sith Alchemy. This earned him their dislike, and an immediate expulsion and deportation.

Lost and homeless in an unfamiliar system, Mac chose to work as a gemfisher based from Yavin Eight again. His previous knowledge of gems and the Corusca trade proved useful and he then used the saved earnings to travel back to the galactic center.

On the Streets Again

Macron Goura was now left without a master. Macron remembered how bad street life could be. He was immediately mugged on arrival in the scummy lower levels 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. He spent some years carousing with these scum, and eventually became one of their leaders.

Macron soon was the most fearsome gangmember, and engaged in deathmatch bouts for pay in the bowels of Coruscant. He killed most of his foes, and delighted in the mutilations of the ones who managed to live. Soon, he cut his ties with the Dark Skulls and dreamed of liberation from this meaningless life.

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. Well-funded contacts located a suitable ship. Macron stole an aging StarWing gunboat from a decommissioned storage yard, and left his home world 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 he had found as a gemfisher there. The crystal was Corusca, an orange crystal from the crushing gases 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 mark his face with ancient Sith Tattoos.

Finding a Master

Macron's First Saber

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 also became a Knight and constructed his first lightsaber. He was then adopted into the Keibatsu family by his Master.

Macron has spent 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 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 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 Order of the Black Guard member for multiple periods of service.


During this time Macron went with his Master at the behest of the Envoys to kill Tierdonis, a renegade Sith. He "recruited" Malisane de Ath during the conflict and brought him back to Brotherhood space. After creating the Force Alchemy and Lightsaber Combat tests at the Shadow Academy, Mac stepped down to concentrate on other duties shortly thereafter.

Digging Up the Past

Some 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,Malachor V and even the witch world Dromund Kaas.

The expedition on Malachor V included Rasilvenaira StormRaven, who Macron considers a Sith comrade. He has worked with her several times, and assisted her with Sith research on her ancient Arashi-Kumori blade. On Korriban, Macron adventured with several notables and Clan Mates. These included Muz Keibatsu Sadow numerous times, Revenant, Eldrad Sin, Raven, and others. The lunatic has survived two visits so far.

Macron then created a Sith Heavy Battle Suit for himself. Using a borrowed Sith holocron, the Sith 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 Combat Guide for the Brotherhood as a whole.

A Leader is Born

Mononoke served as the Aedile and Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh of Clan Naga Sadow as well for a time. He led House Ludo Kressh to a victory and the title of "First House" of Clan Naga Sadow during his tenure.

Muz Keibatsu Sadow learned the art of Echani together with him in the GMRG, and the two are known to adventure together from time to time. Macron also trained Ashia Kagan Keibatsu in the arts of Sith Alchemy. She has proven to be an adept student and a good friend. The two are known to be studious alchemists and often combine their forces.

Sith Madness

During this period, Mononoke set up a personal lab near Amphor. Located inside The Wreck of the Miner's Brother in Naga Sadow space. The mad Sith uses the silent old hulk as a safe experimentation zone. The tremendous radiation storms and out of the way nature of the ancient vessel are perfect for his insane studies. The experiences here allowed him to create a customized dual-phase lightsaber. Other vile alchemical experiments soon followed, such as bioweapons, darkside dragons, various dark droids, Sith droids, homonculi, nano-viruses and other abominations.

The Clan later attacked and looted the Jagred city of Om'Jagred on the light side of Antei. Macron found himself embroiled in a conflict with Severak, one of Malisane de Ath's enemies. Eventually, Severak and the True Brotherhoodwas defeated and exiled into the depths of hyperspace.

Mononoke was later appointed the Dark Side Compendium Tribune. Mononoke was the General in command of a legion of Nihilgenia clones during an uprising on Kyataru. That rebellion was subsequently crushed by the family. During the Aranna Incident, he teamed up with Shikyo Keibatsu and Trevarus Caerick and the geniuses of Tarentum to devise a winning military battleplan. The forces of Clans Naga Sadow and Tarentum proved victorious.

The recent Kyataru campaign and Great Jedi War have seen him expand his knowledge of warfare. 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 on Antei during the Great War, breaching the city defenses and gassing many defenders. The Return to Phare System military campaign later saw him making tactical runs on enemy Emperor's Hammer capital class ships in the Silooth as his Clan pilfered the ruins below.

He is currently experimenting on making Sith-spawned Ewoks and training them with Malisane de Ath. A recent encounter with the Ssi-Ruuvi has led him to pursue other avenues of research as well. Much of his time was spent working on the Dark Side Compendium at this time.

Warrior

The Second Darkness Rite of Supremacy saw Mononoke develop his bioweapons research to a high degree, contributing significantly to the Clan Naga Sadow battleplan in the final stages of the conflict. His Violator Gas was used by the elite Order of the Black Guard to breach and incapacitate enemy vessels in this conflict.

During the Attacking the Clones campaign, Macron led the assault on Jaginos personally. He commanded the VSD Covenant during the assault designed to loot cloning technology from the Kaminoan expatriates. It is also known that he secretly trained with Kaine Mandaala during this period.

Macron was appointed Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, as well as being inducted into the Sons of Sadow. Macron decommissioned the Silooth shortly before the Vong invasion in 27 ABY, altough it remains availiable. He built a heavily modified and unique transport/gunship for himself named the Nachzerer in secret, using the Dlarit driveyards in CNS space. The new ship performed very well against the Vong, contributing to the destruction of one of their capital ships as Macron flew it alongside Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu and Manji.

During the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong into the Shroud of Antei, Macron commanded and piloted the VSD Covenant during the initial phase of the attack. He fought and slew several Vong warriors on the bridge of the ship. During this time, he was made a Marked of the Wanderer by Trevarus Caerick, as well as being named one of Darth Vexatus' Hands. To this end, he built another lightsaber designed for stealth combat missions using ancient Sith technologies and some unusual crystals.
