Character History

Pre-Brotherhood History

Rath was born to the Draken clan, one of the more prominent warrior clans on his homeplanet of Cathar. From birth it was quickly realized that he would be a rather large specimen of the Cathar species. He size made him the most dominant member of his litter and the future "Crathhraw" battle leader of their clan. Rath's bloodlines show that he is a pure blood Cathar and not a subspecies of their race which have much less feline characteristics.

He was constantly being training in the ways of the Cathar warrior and eventually a young Rath Draken passed his rights as a warrior in what is known as a "blood hunt." The blood hunted individually pitted a Chathar warrior against entire nests of Kiltik, large territorial beetles, to test their bravery, courage, and purge them of any darkness. Rath descended into the large Kiltik nest below the surface of their planet, a Large cavern that was joined by endless tunnels. The Huge Kitlik beetles were especially active in defending their nest as they attacked the young Cathar warrior. Rath fought on for hours against these pathetic creatures and in the last moments of the battle he thought he would be overtaken by the nest. His hate boiled against creatures and his fear was like a cold stream running through his stomach. He couldn't let himself be defeated by these "bugs". In a flash of rage he felt the dark side running through his body allowing him to overtake his opponents. Slashing and cutting his way through he left the nest destroyed.

He had always knew he had a connection to the force but never realized how he could tap into it or control it. He remembered hearing stories of great Cathar heroes that used the force such as Sylvar and Crado, but also knew the tragic ends to these tales. But these abilities could be used to become one of the greatest Crathhraw in history, a glory he yearned to taste.

In 27 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong War came to Cathar and Rath quickly was assigned to one of the main battle armies to defend his planet. Cathar was just a stepping stone for the Yuuzhan Vong to arrive to Coruscant. Rath was on the front lines of the battles holding off as many of the Yuuzhan Vong warriors as he could. They fought valiantly but their armies fell to the Yuuzhan Vong quickly. Rath sent the word to the remaining Cathar warriors to retreat. Rath's family was killed and most of the planet was razed by the invading Yuuzhan Vong armies.

With little left and a deep sense of guilt for failing his planet, Rath found a fleeing transport that was leaving off world and escaped.

Around 30 ABY, after wandering from port to port, he was scouted up by the leader of a group called the Draconian Radiers. They were a paramilitary ground of around 30 soldiers that specialized in infiltration of large facilities and space stations. They were in need in of a new member and the Cathar's size and battle experience made him a logical choice.

Rath was highly paid while working with the Raiders and successfully completed various missions with the group. Durring this time he acquired his own personal ship, a refitted Alpha Class XG-1, or commonly known, "Gunboat". He was even promoted to XO of the Brigade, second in command of the Raiders. His force abilities came in handy on numerous occasions.

Around 36 ABY his unit was assigned to infiltrate and destroy a militarized space station near the Tarthos system. It was an easy mission for their experianced team. His brigade however was in for an unexpected surprise. The station also had a unexpected visitor, a Dark Jedi.

In the infiltration their brigade was slaughtered by the Dark Jedi. Rath survived the attack and successfully defended himself against the Dark Jedi. His greatest efforts though weren't sufficient and was rendered unconscious. His force abilities were seen by Dark Jedi's trained eye and he was taken back to the "brotherhood" to be indoctrinated.

Journeyman in the Brotherhood

Rath awoke aboard the shuttle of the Dark Jedi, Atra Ventus, who was a member of the Obelisk order. Rath's interest was peaked when the Atrus began to explain to him what his force abilities could be developed to become and that the Obelisk Order could train him to become the perfect warrior. This appealed to Rath as his hatred still burned against those that slaughtered his people and his guilt for not being able to save them was his driving force.

He began his studies in the Shadow academy and showed potential as an Obelisk Warrior, passing the CORE tests with high marks. He was quickly assigned to the Battle Team "Scepter" of the Marka Ragnos house.

After training in the Shadow academy he was also accepted as a member of the Grand Master's Royal Guard. Atrus Ventu at this point offered him to become his full fledged Apprentice. Rath was honored at the request and became Atrus' apprentice learning the Obelisk ways even further.

During a solo scouting mission on the outskirts of one of the forests of Sepros Rath discovered a priate camp. They were setting up a listening station using an out-of-date comunications base. Rath quickly engaged the pirate group and called for reinforcements. Rath held his own against the pirates and was later joined by other members of his clan. It was later discovered that they were trying to splice into brotherhood's holonet. It would have been a huge secuirty risk that would have left the brotherhood open to future attacks. Rath Draken was awarded a Dark Cross for his discovery and bravery and was promoted to the rank of Protector.
