Unus Per A Novus Domus is a Weequay Dark Jedi Knight in service to House Plagueis. Unus is a distinct cross between a manipulator and a server; while he is more than willing to send his allies, Force Users and Force Blind alike, to their doom, he feels a distinct kinship with them and is willing to die for them.
Unus currently servers as the Rollmaster of Plagueis, as well as handling the position of Plagueis Webmaster, keeping the Plagueis website up to date.
Character History
Early Life
Unus was born in the Saloqa clan on Sriluur, named for its founder. His clan had never risen to greatness, but was one of the older ones, as it managed to avoid confrontation with practically everyone (Three clan wars, twenty small skirmishes, and one final fight against the Vong in nearly four thousand years). Till he was seven, Unus was treated as all children in his clan; he practiced with weapons, medical skills, and survival skills. This training, though based on Sriluurs biosphere, remains with him and can help him survive for quite some time by himself.
Upon his seventh birthday, Unus was deemed capable and instructed to benefit the clan in some way or go hungry. He chose to work as a runner for the Black Sun till he was eligible to become a hunter, taking the name Servus for use among outsiders. When he was fifteen, his boss gave him a slugthrower to use in a raid against an opposing boss. Servus was wounded in the firefight, but managed to kill three enemies. Impressed, his boss had him work as an enforcer. Weequay contacts were very careful around him, knowing that the teenager would be willing to torture and kill on demand. Traders were not so careful, though a slug in an unimportant body part usually stopped it.
Several times, Servus was offered a more permanent position in the Black Sun due to his effectiveness and loyalty, but he refused each time due to loyalty to his Clan.
Hunter
On his nineteenth birthday, Servus was considered an adult and permitted to select a career within the Clan. He chose to become a Hunter, and was entered into two years of specialized training. When offered the choice, he often chose either a slugthrower, Blaster Pistol, or his own hands for a weapon. While this earned him more respect and more opportunities, it earned him several wounds as well; he has a variety of scars, though one stands out in particular; three lines caused from the paw of a Dark wolf he attempted to tame. He was also stung, but was healed in time.
When he became a full fledged hunter, Servus led a hunting party of ten against a Bandigo nest, which was believed to be a small one but one that would still make a good addition to the food. Instead, it turned out that there were nearly a hundred of the beasts. Unus considered his options; if he and his hunters died (none of which were recognized as spectacular hunters), then the clan would have ten less mouths to feed. If he was successful, they would have enough food to feed the clan from this alone for quite some time. He asked his fellows, and all agreed; an attack was the best option.
Servus laid several traps, and organized a raid; with slugthrowers going off to scare the Bandigos, Servus' hunting party charged the Bandigos into thirteen traps, taking off several each time. When the Bandigos finally got their sense back, they were down to seven. Slugthrowers and spears ended them. A runner was sent back to the Clan; Servus was granted an honorary position as Elder, to be increased to an actual if he survived to fifty years old (a rarity, even in Servus' clan). In addition to this reward, Servus was deemed to be capable of making good decisions and of being a proper member of the clan; he was given permission to marry.
In two months, Servus had a wife. Opposed to tradition, she was a fellow hunter; it was generally considered good practice to avoid same career marriages to avoid the emergence of castes, but there was no law against it.
When the Peace Brigade came to Sriluur, Servus managed to convince his Clan to keep up arms and oppose them, knowing full well that conquerors have never come in peace. Due to the non confrontational nature of the Clan, there has never been a true standing army, and the many Hunters were used as Soldier. Till the Vong landed, Servus' clan planned, and Servus drew upon the Black Sun contacts he had to get mercenaries.
Despite their planning, the rest of Sriluur was low tech enough that the entire planet fell. Servus was assigned on a covert mission to slaughter some landing Vong, as well as several other hunters save for a Militia kept with the Clan. After his mission was complete, Servus headed back to his Clan; he was not able to see anyone that was not slaughtered, though the large presence of Vong corpses showed that they did not go down without a fight. As far as he knows, he is the last of his Clan.
Servus did the only thing he could; he ran, stole a ship, and escaped. He ran to a close system, and considered his actions; he wanted to hurt the Vong, but he wouldn't do much damage alone. After a bit of thinking, Servus headed to the Jusadih System and enlisted in the private army of a Noble. He put down his name as Unus Per A Novus Domus, to indicate his status.
Soldier
Unus didn't serve in the Noble's Army for long; once the Invasion was over, he enlisted in the Jusadih Armed Forces. Due to his previous experience and strong will to fight and serve, Unus ended up being promoted to Sergeant rather quickly. Unfortunately, his first assignment had a 90 Blunder for his Officer In Charge, resulting in Unus often taking the reins for his unit. He tended to keep comrades at arms distance, though showed extreme willingness to assist others. Unus participated in several raids against the Jusadih Independence Corps.
Unus' service as a Soldier culminated in a mission to Morroth in which he ended up executing the Jedi Hunter Necal. The then QUA of House Satal Keto, Kal Vorrac named him his apprentice and transferred him into the Dark Brotherhood. Officially, Unus was moved from his unit with the only record being 'rerouted to Special Unit'. He did go to Antei for standard training, but a short bit of work from Kal made him breeze through
Journeyman
Truth Of A Sith
In 33 ABY, Unus' Master, Kal Vorrac devised a final trial for his apprentice before reaching Knighthood. Kal summoned his apprentice to the bridge of the NSD Ascendancy, and destroyed the Hunter's Armory Saber. While doing this, he explained that he found the Brotherhood in error, and that he was going to reveal to the Galactic Alliance of the Brotherhoods location while he started his own order in line with Bane's teachings. He then pulled a Q4 Quickfire and shot himself in the stomach, throwing the blaster to his apprentice and screaming 'Assassin'. What the guards thought was rather obvious. Whether in a moment of fear, surprise, hatred, or confusion, Unus did not shoot his master; Instead, he escaped to Kapsina.
There, he managed to fight off an attack force consisting of several Dark Jedi and forty mercenaries. He took an energy cell and two sabers; a long straight one, and a smaller curved one (which he keeps as a trophy to this day). Before he took off to the Dark Tower, he sent a message to Corran Force about what was happening so that the DJB could enter damage control. He used the longer saber, which was more suited to his fighting style, and managed to fight through to his Master. Catching Kal in a saber lock, he thrust the energy cell into the sabers. The resulting explosion damaged both fighters, and melded Unus' right hand to the saber.
Perhaps impressed with Unus' resolve, Kal revealed his purpose; this was his final trial for Knighthood. The revelation threw Unus into a rage, as he had killed Jusadihian Soldiers to get to Kal. Unus charged him once more; Kal responded by using the Force to knock him down and used his saber to remove the Weequay's hand. The entire event has resulted in Unus having a very strained relationship with his Master, though he is the first to acknowledge that, even if he doesn't need Kal, Kal is highly useful to him.
Knight
One of his earlier assignments as a Knight was to be made Directorate General for Jusadih's Intelligence Directorate. When Plagueis returned to a more standard Battleteam format, he was assigned as the Sith Commander of Primus Pilus. When Braecen Kaeth stepped down as Rollmaster of Plagueis, Unus held (for a short time) both positions, before passing Sith Commander down onto his former Master, Kal di Plagia Vorrac.
Unus holds the position of Rollmaster in Plagueis, but has his eyes on the still vacant seat of Aedile. He has been careful to avoid brining the subject up to his Quaestor more than strictly necessary, prefering to wait till he has just finished a large amount of difficult work to make his case for selecting a new Aedile.
Personality
Unus is, to the mind of many non Weequay, strange. Any Weequay would understand his actions; as his Weequay Clan was killed by the Vong, Unus has adopted Plagueis as his Clan, and one day hopes to see Plagueis hold dominion over the entire Brotherhood. For this reason, Unus holds Plagueis itself almost as a person, and the members as important, though disposable, body parts. The loss of one of these parts is detrimental to the whole, but sometimes necessary. For this reason, he is willing to send himself and others to their death through suicide missions. This is almost in direct conflict with Sith Philosophy, but Unus does not seem troubled by it. In one of his more philosophical moments, he said 'It does not matter if I am Sith, Krath, Obelisk, or even a Jedi; as long as I am a Plaguian.'
Though he can become angered at many things, he really only becomes angered at a few things. Primarily, Yhuuzan Vong. He has been working on this, less out of a worry about letting his emotions rule him, and more out of being worried about others manipulating him through his emotions.
Physical Description
Unus is nearly six feet tall, and accordingly well muscled with his previous training. He is agile and capable of taking a hit as well. This extends to the point where he far prefers to use melee combat against his opponents. He fully acknowledges that this mentality is due to the fact that he hates Vong and direct application of the Force is useless against them.
Unlike most Weequay, Unus lets his hair grow freely. Still, Weequay hair does not naturally let itself to freedom, and to keep it from being in a very distracting style, Unus has pulled it back into a rudimentray ponytail. The top of his head, however, remains bald due to his Weequay physiology. He prefers to keep his Peacekeeper robes on, but is more than willing to switch clothes at the drop of a hat for one of many different reasons, though usually for a mission.
