"And thus Krath created a universe within his palm"
―From Windos' "Book of Krath"

Windos Helkin Tarentae is a scholar and a preacher. He grew up following false religions and teachings. Upon discovering Krath, the one true god, Windos sought out the Dark Brotherhood where he finally found his place in the universe. His life is a tale of tragedy and triumph, light and dark.

Character History

Early Life

Windos was born to Van Helkin and his wife Cynthia on the 1st of Elona, 47 BBY in the Fobosi District on Corusacnt. He was baptized the very next morning by a priest of the Flames of Umate. Later that year his family moved to The Works, where his father substantive holdings in a large production factory and also regularly traveled to the Senate District on less than legitimate business. His mother was a modest woman, who busied herself helping to teach and care for homeless children of The Works. He had an elder brother whom had died in 49 BBY.

Van Helkin, having spent his life working his way up from nothing and placing a high value on education, sent Windos to the best schools available on Coruscant in hope that he would attend the Diplomatic Institute. Windos always found himself being repressed in school; seeking but never finding challenge.

In 29 BBY at the age of eighteen, Windos accepted his father’s wishes and enrolled in the Diplomatic Institute. However he felt uneasy there, questioning if he wanted the life of a politician, and after only half a year’s study, Windos dropped out. After hearing his father lecture him for many hours, he reluctantly enrolled in the Coruscant College of Law where he studied for the following three years and received his Bachelor of Laws mid way through 26 BBY.

Windos could not shake his feeling of unease and decided against a career in law, instead sought answers. At the age of twenty one he traveled to the Manarai Mountains where he was once baptized. The priests of the Flames of Umate welcomed him with open arms. For the first time in his life Windos felt as if he had found his place, seeking answers to unanswerable questions. Naturally his father was furious with his son’s waste of a good education.

Devotion

Windos dedicated himself to the Flames of Umate; devoting himself to long hours in prayer and fasts. He tried pleasing Coruscant’s inner spirit through dedication, but it only forced him to see holes appear in the religion. He would often make mention of the spirits lack of presence. He once described this period of his life as his ‘personal turmoil in the light.’

Joffre Pemberton, the priest that had personally baptized the young devout many years earlier, decided that Windos need more responsibility and gave him guard duty on top of the many hours of prayer he already practiced. Windos loathed his time walking the grounds of the Monument Plaza but endured it, still holding onto the hope of pleasing the inner spirit.

Miscellaneous Descriptions

Pysical

Tall and slim, Windos' posture has been ravaged by years of crouching over old scrolls and tomes. He is bald and clean shaven. His skin is wrinkled and pale, owing to the very little light he gets in his exceptionally cluttered quarters. His face has very little flesh under pasty skin, giving him a fearsome skeletal appearance in the right light. When he does venture from his quarters, Windos will wear full robes with his cowl pulled up to cast shadows over his face. He generally keeps his hands tucking inside the sleeve of his opposite arm, unless holding a text or manipulating the Force.

Personality

Reclusive, Windos prefers not to be around other people. He feels that interacting with other unnecessarily will distract him from his studies. He can grow very attached to objects he deems sacred and has also been known to fall for members of opposite sex, but has sworn this will never repeat after the death of his fiancé over 40 years ago. Above all else Windos believes in the supremacy of Krath; his one true god.

Weapons

Krath War Blade

Windos’ preferred sword is the Krath War Blade; a huge sword that has been twisted by the Dark Side of the Force. It posed no threat to lightsabers, despite it's dark aura, but in the hands of a skilled warrior it is still deadly.

Light Sabre

Windos' first saber was gifted to him by Welshman Corsair Tarentae as part of his impromptu promotion to Dark Jedi Knight during the Phoenix Crest incident. It had been kept in a secure safe within it's former owner's office. Windos is still yet to return this saber.

His first and only attempt to create a lightsaber produced a simplistic silver and grey hilt. There is no switch on the hilt’s surface; instead it reacts to subtle Force manipulations within extremely close proximity.

The synthetic crystals housed within the saber’s hilt produce a standard length, violet, blade.
