Character History

Early Years

Seraine Ténama was born on Zeltros on the fourth day of the second holiday week, three years before the Battle of Yavin. Her parents were responsible, upstanding people, at least by Zeltronian standards - her father was a shipping clerk for a large spice winery who kept his drunken revelry to a mild haze while at work, while her mother was a decorated pilot in the Zeltronian defence forces. From an early age, Seraine was inducted into the Zeltronian traditions of luxury and hedonism.

When she was only sixteen, Seraine enrolled in the Zeltronian pilot's academy, assisted by her mother's connections and the recruiter's desperation to meet his monthly quota. Seraine learned to fly the venerable Z-95 Headhunter, and occasionally flew in drills with the New Republic's fighter squadrons. Seraine channelled her natural intensity into fierce competitiveness, and a ruthless streak began to emerge in her. She earned the callsign "Erinyes", named after a group of mythological creatures that brought vengeful destruction to offenders against the natural order.

The Fall

Shortly after Seraine's nineteenth birthday, she was approached by a horribly cliché (she thought) man in a black robe during one of her many off-duty benders. He said that he knew that her natural Zeltronian abilities (described below) were much more powerful than normal, and that he had recognized her ruthless demeanour as a sign that the Dark Side lurked within her. Seeing the pronouncement as a challenge, Seraine went with the man to the Shadow Academy. There, she began her training in earnest.

Brotherhood Years

Little is known about Seraine's involvement in the Brotherhood prior to her departure from the Emperor's Hammer schism in 24 ABY (Sept 2005). It is said that she spent a great deal of time in Clan Tarentum, and she herself has admitted to being a former member of the Order of the Sith. No further details have emerged.

After returning to the Brotherhood from its Emperor's Hammer schism group, Seraine joined Clan Taldryan. She first joined House Ektrosis as a member of the Phoenix Brigade, remaining as a member of Phoenix throughout the Taldryan-Arcona Feud in 25 ABY (2006) and the Sixth Great Jedi War. Soon after the War was over, Seraine transferred to House Dinaari to lead Dark Fire Brigade.

In 25 ABY (May 2006), Seraine was appointed Dark Brotherhood Fiction Tribune.

DJB Facts

Since Seraine has only been a Tribune for a relatively short period of time, her accomplishments are not as impressive as other senior Brotherhood members. However, here is a sampling of the projects she has undertaken:

  • Created standardized grading schemes for Brotherhood fiction and poetry events
  • Continued administration of the Monthly Topics
  • Contributed to the Alacrity project: developed the Self-Evaluations manual

She hopes to be able to add to this list in the future.

Trivia

  • Zeltrons are a near-human species hailing from the planet Zeltros. They have a reputation as a lazy, hedonistic species more concerned with luxury and parties than the concerns of daily life. Zeltrons are also known for their accomplishments in the arts and their significant sexual appetites.
  • Zeltrons possess a number of traits specific to their species, including the ability to exude pheromones to influence the moods of others (in much the same manner as the Falleen), empathy and the ability to project their emotions on to others. The latter two abilities have been subsumed into Erinyes' Dark Side Force powers.
