Character History
Aristocracy and Birth
The bloodline of the Scorpius Family can be traced as far back as 3997 BBY to Darth Scorpius, a participant in the Freedon Nadd Uprising. Since then, the Scorpii have been in records on Korriban, Ossus, Dantooine, Thyferra, Coruscant, and Chandrila. Various Scorpii were members of the Old Sith and Jedi Orders. The origin of the Scorpius Family can be traced to a small planet in the mid-rim that is not located on most standard galactic maps. The planet Risban has been politically and economically dominated by the Scorpius Family for centuries. The senior male member of the family was named the "Count" of Risban. The great-great grandfather of the present Scorpius, Lucius Myles Scorpius, founded ScorpCorp, a company of many different trades, and moved the family estate to Chandrila, all-the-while still maintaining control and influence over Risban. His grandfather, Count Finis Hadjus Scorpius, served one term as the senator of Chandrila.
Robel Antares Scorpius was born on Chandrila in 62 BBY to Magnus Scorpius and Sophia Antares. His parents were very influential in politics and business on Chandrila, his mother serving one term as mayor of Hanna City. Needless to say, the Scorpius Family had entered the political and economic aristocracy of Chandrila. It was expected that Robel would go on to become school in politics or business on Chandrila. One day he would inherit ScorpCorp. This all changed three years after his birth, however, when it was discovered that he was Force-sensitive.
A Jedi Knight on Chandrila named Joruun Kalp discovered that the young Scorpius was Force-sensitive. Robel was taken from his family and brought to Coruscant to train to be a Jedi.
Jedi Knight
Scorpius trained as a Jedi at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, showing great skill as a padawan in the areas of stategy, Force philosophy, and classical lightsaber duelling. He even received some training sessions as a padawan from the great Jedi Master Dooku, one of the best saberists in the Order. The great Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi took Scorpius as his padawan, and trained the young man in the ways of the Jedi. In 42 BBY, at the age of twenty, Scorpius became a young Jedi Knight.
Given his family's influence, throughout his training Scorpius managed to keep in contact with his parents and siblings. Ki-Adi-Mundi, who himself had four wives and several children, discouraged Scorpius from doing so but did not stop him. Throughout his time in the Jedi Order, Scorpius had developed a keen interest in politics and upon reaching Jedi Knight often served as a liaison between the Jedi Council and the Senate. Through this Scorpius made a name for himself as a shrewd political thinker and strategist, and also rose to become a master of Makashi lightsaber form. Indeed, he was set to do good things for the Jedi Order.
When a small anti-Republic movement on Chandrila began to form into a militia and threaten rebellion, the Jedi Council dispatched a team of Jedi and Republic security forces to help quell any militant actions. Given his ties with and knowledge of Chandrila, Jedi Knight Scorpius was placed on the team. This would turn out to be a major mistake.
