Trevarus Irad Caerick is the birth name of the beings known alternatively as Trevarus Sadow or Shan Long. Regarded as one of the most influential and powerful Elders to ever walk the Final Way, Trevarus has influenced many spheres of Brotherhood development. His extensive research into the ancient history of the Dark Side and the origin of the Final Way have also marked him as one of the most knowledgeable and powerful of the Elders.
Birth and Early Life
Born to Jedi Master Alaerus Caerick on the outskirts of Coronet City, Corellia, he enjoyed the life of easy aristocracy. Being an intensely insular, secretive man, Alaerus never revealed the birth of his son to the Jedi Council, instead quietly raising and training his scion in the ways of the Force. Like his father, Trevarus showed an affinity to the delicate arts of the lightsaber, languages, and perceiving the deep visions the Force provides. Unlike his father, he displayed a dangerous layer of outright malice.
When Trevarus had barely passed his sixteenth birthday, the political transition to an Empire finally decided his fate. Alaerus had fought bravely within the Corellian System during the Clone Wars, surviving the infamous Order 66. A group of Jedi Hunters lead by Adept Kiln Tobasa invaded the family estate, destroying the Master and his wife. Empowered by pure rage, Trevarus wielded his father's lightsaber and destroyed all but the Adept. Fascinated by the young man's raw potential, he captured the boy and brought him back to Coruscant as his protege.
The Imperial Court
Tobasa continued the boy's training in the ways of the Dark Side, having fully corrupted his fragile young spirit over the course of two years' enslavement.
