Character History

The Akumatsu and Lone Wolf Era

Shikyo 26 ABY

Shikyo Keibatsu was born on the planet of Kyataru, but did not live there longer than one day. On the date of his birth, Mandalorians arrived to collect on a debt that his grandfather owed them. They were promised Shikyo. They took the child and boarded their craft, heading towards the planet they dwelled at for the time being. It was here that Shikyo trained with the young Mandalorian children, incapacitating some, and injuring others. Due to his wild spirit and untamable anger, young Shikyo was scheduled to return to his family. The day they were to leave was the day his family was massacred by Jedi, leaving Shikyo to live with the Mandalorians.

Considering the child a risk to the clan, they dropped him with a local warlord named Sagara Mifune, along with a sword that was sent to Shikyo from his father. This sword was claimed by Sagara and used during his campaigns. It was at this time that a warring event erupted and Shikyo was given the name "Bokuzen Mifune". Proving his worth through many victories, he became the commander of the Takeda Cavalry, and well respected amongst the ranks. However, the Mifune Clan was ambushed by a rival clan, wiping out most of the army, leaving only a few remnants of the clan, including Bokuzen. Evading numerous assassination attempts from a rival assassin/lover, he took the sword that belonged to his master and left the past behind.

With his clan eliminated, Bokuzen went into hiding, using his skills as a killer to provide some kind of living for himself. He found a place of residence in a hotel owned by a close friend of his, working from there at night and entering quietly to avoid detection. It was here that he met Sakura Koyotai, a caretaker in the hotel. When he had time away, he would meet with her and eventually the two fell in love and were engaged. On the night of an annual festival, a group of assassins, seeking revenge, took the life of his beloved and creating the X-shaped scar on his cheek. With nothing left but to run, Bokuzen left the planet with his belongings, his warlord's sword, and the title of "Hitokiri", master assassin.

The shuttle that Bokuzen boarded was on a spice run to Coruscant, putting him in the middle of the slums of the planet. Hiding out wherever he could, Bokuzen began to sell his blade out for assassinations, targetting Imperial and New Republic officials alike. One evening, Bokuzen was handed an assignment to take out a religious leader. Little did the assassin know that the "religious leader" he was sent to kill was Grand Master Jac Cotelin. Instead of killing off another peon, Jac sent Bokuzen to Lyspair to the Shadow Academy.


Arcona and the Right of Supremacy

Proving himself a dedicated student and staying active in the Academy, Bokuzen was moved to House Oriens Obscurum of Clan Arcona. There, he was appointed Legion of Boral and a Flight Member under the command of dark jedi, Tuskani. Proving his worth in a TIE Fighter and on the battlefield, Bokuzen was appointed to Sith Commander of the Pandragon Squadron. However, he would not hold the position long. The clan began to make changes and his master, Quejo Bandon, was appointed to the position of Quaestor of House Galeres, while Bokuzen took the position of Aedile, working with Quaestor, Octavian Vareno. With this rise into power, Bokuzen was made the Legion Commander of Boral, allowing him some command over the forces of the planet, as well as House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum. With incidents occuring on the planet of Aranna, Bokuzen would have to test his abilities as a leader during the Obelisk Right of Supremacy.

Bokuzen took a transport full of troops, along with a group of his most trusted allies and began an assault on certain positions held by Clan Naga Sadow. At the beginning of the vendetta, Arcona grabbed a bit of an advantage, increasing moral amongst the ranks. To further this uprising, Bokuzen took the name of his former master and warlord, Sagara Mifune. It was at this time that he encountered a couple of members of the Keibatsu family, Shin'ichi and Nekura.

He engaged Shin'ichi while assaulting a supply depot held by Naga Sadow. The battle was held at a draw, due to increased artillery and the command to pull back from the area. Sagara felt ashamed that he could not do better against the Keibatsu, hoping for a rematch. He would find it in the form of Nekura Manji Keibatsu. The fight would go to Manji, however Sagara's fate would be spared by the elder brother, Muz Ashen. Recognizing the crest on Sagara's sword, Muz wanted to find out more on the young dark jedi.

After encountering Naga Sadow and the Keibatsu, the battle did not bode well for Clan Arcona, leaving the Aedile angry, vengeful, and more than willing to seek revenge.


Leaving Arcona/Joining Naga Sadow

Upon return to the Orian System, Sagara received the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, allowing him the ability to effectivly wield a lightsaber. Along with this promotion, he assumed the position of Quaestor, working alongside Corran Halcyon Arconae. While he held this position, reports and images were shown that brought many to think that Sagara was plotting with the Keibatsu family. With the accusations wiped but the hearts of the House members firm on their beliefs, Sagara left the clan, going Rogue and seeking revenge.

He sought out Nekura Manji, finding him on the planet of Antei. Manji and Sagara fought against each other once more, with Manji proving himself the victor. Following the orders of his elder brother, Nekura brought Sagara before Muz on the planet of Sepros. After spending some time on the planet, Sagara decided to give the clan a chance, joining the ranks in Clan Naga Sadow.

To prove himself to the entire clan, Sagara signed up for the Sadow Duelling Competition, taking on members such as Mononoke Keibatsu-Goura, Nekura Keibatsu, Shin'ichi Keibatsu, and Shan-Long. He would take 1st place and gain some amounts of respect in the clan. With the word reaching Muz, the time had finally arrived to see if his thoughts proved him right.

A New Keibatsu and A New Feud

Taking the Knight under a high level of confidence, Muz brought Sagara to the planet of Kyataru, the home of the Keibatsu. Along with the entire family, Sagara began to learn more and more about the heritage of the family and their origins. Once they had arrived to Kuroshin Castle, they began to make their way to the ruins of the house Muz and Manji were raised in. Making their way down into the pit that was once their house, Sagara picked up what looked like a communication device, which confirmed his DNA to match that of Shikyo Keibatsu. He also learned that the sword he thought belonged to his former master, had belonged to him all along.

Shikyo's Signature

Feeling complete, Shikyo had discovered his true identity and held onto the bond he had newly formed with his brothers, cousins, and friends in Naga Sadow.

After discovering his true identity, Shikyo was appointed to Sergeant of the Night Raptors, as well as a Live! Judge in the ACC. Considering the size of his team, Shikyo decided to train them in the arts of stealth. They eventually became a small task force that was used for assassination/stealth objectives. Around the time of their training, a feud broke out between Naga Sadow/Tarentum against Scholae Palatinae/Plagueis.

Using his team to attack on the land, Shikyo assisted on the ground operations, as well as the space conflict that would occur soon after. During the ground campaign, Xayun Erinos, Eldrad Sin, and Shikyo took on multiple Disciples of Scholae Palatinae. For his work against the foes, Eldrad Sin gave Shikyo the Space Marine "Thunder-Hammer", an ancient artefact that was used to execute the enemies of the wielder's foes. Teaming up with the tactitians of Tarentum, Shikyo, Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura, and Trevarus Caerick created a plan to defeat the fleets of CSP/CP. Naga Sadow was successful in the campaign, claiming a Nebulon B-2 frigate in the process. Towards the end of the Feuds, a disturbance erupted on Kyataru, calling the Keibatsus back to their home planet.

Reclamation of Kyataru

Shikyo's Yoshimitsu Toshiro katana

Arriving at Kuroshin Castle, Shikyo began to make his way towards the Western Front, approaching the first castle. Combining the strength of the armies of Xia-Long, Manji, and Shikyo, the battle caused General Mieji to retreat from his base. After taking the castle, the forces encountered the rest of Mieji's forces, as well as those of General Misoshime. After routing the armies, they proceeded towards the remains of the home of Koji Keibatsu, the father of Muz, Shin'ichi, Nekura, and Shikyo. It was here that they encountered General Tokumitsu, the Shogun of their father's castle. In order to defeat the general, they acquired the help of their cousin, Shimura. At this time, the enemy forces were slowly being overwhelmed, causing them to retreat to the Southern Front.

Finding some time to relax, Shikyo began to get more acquainted with his older brother, as well as Xia. However, the campaign continued with the death of General Mieji, as the armies proceeded south. It was during this point in the war that Shikyo and Xia began to form a bond, admist the fighting. This bond brought them close together but would prove to not be a strong one, in the end. After dealing with Mieji, the army continued towards the castle of Generals Tokumitsu and Kamateru, with some new reenforcements that were retrieved by Ashia Kagan. Meeting up with Ashia, they proceeded to the castle, eliminating both generals.

With victory in grasp, the Keibatsu family decided to take on an act of diplomacy, hoping to win the hearts of the locals. Alongside Shin'ichi, Shikyo began peace talks with head Shogun, Nagahide. The negotiations did not go as well as were hoped, leaving an alternative route for the family to take: eliminate Nagahide. Muz and Nekura were the ones who would handle this task, while the rest of the family would prevent anyone from interrupting the confrontation. Muz would seal the warlord's fate by severing his head with the lower half of his jaw. Claiming a sword set found in Nagahide's vault and a couple bottles of sake, Shikyo returned with the rest of the Keibatsus to assist in the 7th Great Jedi War.


The 7th Great Jedi War and The Phare System

Rejoining the Night Raptors, Shikyo began to investigate into certain accusations the clan was facing. Discovering who was behind them, Shikyo was granted the rank of Sith Warrior by the Overlord and Consul of the clan. This new rank opened up a doorway of training and knowledge that would assist him in the upcoming battles of the war. He mastered the art of wielding both of his swords at the same time, as well as improving the design of his lightsaber.

Using his knowledge to assist in the quelling of an uprising on Sepros, Shikyo began to prepare his team for the assault on Antei. HIs actions would soon find their way to the newly appointed Consul, Manesh Sadow. Upon hearing the duties performed by the Warrior, Manesh appointed Shikyo to the position of Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. He would work alongside J'Rai Sadow for the duration of the war. His main goal was to serve as Squadron Leader during the flight raid upon Antei. This plan reduced the artillery that was already laid out against the forces of Naga Sadow.

With the war over and his clan slowly falling back into place, Shikyo took some time to leave for Kyataru to continue his training. After word of his actions reached Muz, the Warrior was provided the title of "Wolf of Kyataru", due to his prowess on the battlefield and his preference to be alone most of the time.

After claiming a new ship for their clan, Consul Manesh Sadow and Proconsul Kat Pridemore seemed to have disappeared from Sepros, as well as Quaestors Derevko Niroth and Malisane De Ath. With the highest members of leadership gone, Aediles Shikyo and Xayun Erinos responded to the call of Darth Vexatus to reclaim the true Sword of Sadow from the Phare System, the former home of Clan Naga Sadow. Taking the VSD Covenant as the flagship, the three gathered the forces of Naga Sadow and prepared to engage the forces of the Emperor's Hammer.

As they landed on the planet's surface, the Aediles led their houses against a force of EH recruits, as well as the security systems within the former Sadow Palace. Leaving the Dark Prophet to retrieve the artefact, Shikyo and his brother Manji led a group of journeymen to explore the ancient palace and retrieve anything of importance that could be used at a later time. Just as they were gathering some intelligence from the palace's computers, Vexatus informed them of his situation and called for an immediate evacuation.

Shikyo requested the assistance of the Knights and Equites to hold of the remaining forces until all the journeymen were placed inside the shuttles. Once they were collected, the Aediles called for a retreat of the system once they had reclaimed their missing Quaestors. With Manesh in control of an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Naga Sadow fleet returned home with the artefact in their possession. For his actions in the system, some of his fellow clanmates began to call Shikyo the "arse kicker of the Phare System".

Rise in Power, Fall to Darkness

After the conquest of the Phare system, issues began to plague Derevko Niroth, causing him to step down from the seat of Quaestor. Accepting the duties of the position, Shikyo would succeed him as the 24th Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos. With his ascension to the head of the house, Shikyo decided to appoint Ylith Atema as his Aedile. The two of them began to prepare the newer members for the upcoming Rite of Supremacy. However, Shikyo would have to leave many of his duties in the hands of his Aedile, as alarming issues began to develop on his home planet.

While dealing with these issues at home, Shikyo was picking up signals that seemed to trace back from the Unknown Regions. After investigating the phenomenon, the young Keibatsu discovered an unknown, unnamed planet that was inhabited with low-level Force users. One of these Force sensitives, Faeril Munlear, snuck aboard his Sith Infiltrator and would begin to train under him for a short amount of time. With many things occuring at once, The Sith resigned as Quaestor and made way for his former master, Quejo Rak'ul Drakai, to succeed him. At this moment of ascension, the Brotherhood would be rocked to the core, as Yuuzhan Vong began to strike at the heart; Antei.

He would take on many Vong, killing very few and evading the rest. The battle would leave the Keibatsu with an urgency to become stronger at almost any cost, calling on the help of new Consul, Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu Sadow, to guide him in the ways of Sith Alchemy, and would continue further training from his older brother, Muz Keibatsu Sadow, after recovering from injuries he received while captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. The battle with this new threat brought about a new wind to the Sith, adding more aggression to his manner while maintaining some form of level-headedness. This change was created by his inability to remain more controlled while engaging the enemy.
