Commanders
Du'val, Cassandra
Rank: Sergeant
A fierce warrior serving as second in command to Dang Shi during the Retaking of Antei, Cassandra has long since been serving the Brotherhood following her failed acceptance into the Shadow Academy. A former trooper with the Imperial Remnant, Du'val had heard murmers of an organization that had broken away from the Warlords of the Emperor's Hammer. Following up on the rumours, she encountered the Brotherhood, though her aptitude with the Force was far less than satisfactory for her acceptance. Catching the eye of the Headmaster, Cassandra was recruited into the beginnings of the Lion's Pride.
Since her mentor's death, Cassandra was promoted for her duties to the Dark Council and appointed the commander of the elite unit. Since the Reclaimation, she has participated in numerous Black Ops missions for the Grand Master alongside some highly classified action during major conflicts.
Shi, Dang (deceased)
Rank: Sergeant
Hailing from Dorin and dissatisfied with the relaxed, calm life of his family homestead, Dang Shi left on the first available freighter and drifted through the galaxy before coming to the Brotherhood. He took the Shadow Academy's tests on Lyspair, but was unsuccessful, his aptitude for the Force just too low to grant him acceptance into the Brotherhood. The Headmaster, however, felt Dang Shi would be useful, and recruited him into the Lion's Pride to serve the Dark Council.
Dang Shi rose through the ranks to become a Sergeant, known for his ferocious skill in battle and his determination never to retreat from the foe. He was posthumously honoured after standing his ground against a Jedi Master and her Apprentice during the Retaking of Antei and wounding both before being killed himself.
Notable Members
REDACTED - Membership of the Unit outside of the Commanders
Vance, Coryn
Rank: Corporal
Coryn Vance was a member of a non-Foxtrot Uniform security team recruited by the Brotherhood during the events on Salas V. His skill as a warrior and knowledge had allowed him to become a member of the forces typically reserved for the defense of Antei, however the deaths of several members of the Lion's Pride resulted in his selection for the elite team. Since joining the Pride, Coryn worked hard to get promoted to the rank of Corporal after the event at the Temple Bonya.
While Coryn is a rough and tumble solider of the Brotherhood, he is also a brilliant strategist often called upon by his commanding officer to assist with the cordination for the unit's missions. His brilliant mind has been known to rival that of a typical Krath or Sith's commander when he's at the top of his game.
Williams, Jonathan
Rank: Private
An aspiring musician, Jonathan Williams had his life of fame and glamour taken from him when he lost a bet on Nar Shadaa which resulted in his sale into slavery. On a mission upon the moon, a member of the Brotherhood unwittingly won the man's loyalty from an unfortunately card-shark. With no-where to go, Williams was pressed into service with the defense services on Antei. With an above average aptitude at the Shadow Academy, Headmaster Taigikori Aybara Dupar enlisted the unwilling slave into service with the Lion's Pride.
In league with Jonathan's unique aptitude and aspirations as a musician, he is often utilized as a communications officer. A talented and brilliant man, he is often one of the most level-headed individuals of the Pride, despite his vices.
Alters, Vikun (deceased)
Rank: Private
A Corellian, Vikun Alters found his way to Lyspair on an Imperial freighter and after passing the Shadow Academy's tests, became an Initiate of the Dark Brotherhood. He rose through the ranks swiftly, but this rapid rise in prominence came with an impetuosity that doomed him. Jedi Hunter Alters was found stealing supplies and weaponry from his Clan's armoury and selling them on to off-world traders. The Chamber of Justice found him guilty, with the sentence of his rank being removed and banishment from the Brotherhood, but the Headmaster intervened and requested leniency on the condition that Alters served in the Lion's Pride.
Private Alters later distinguished himself in several skirmishes with Barabel space pirates on the fringes of the Antei system, and was posthumously awarded a Steel Cross for his decision to sacrifice his own life blowing up the pirate flagship.
