Character History
Early Life
Born on Yaga Minor as the younger brother of Xayun Erinos, Zandro was similar to his brother in many respects. As they grew up they were close, both staunchly opposed to the Rebel Alliance and New Republic, both wishing to someday become fighter pilots who could go to the front lines and take the fight to the people they believed were trying to ruin them and all they believed in. When his brother left, he began to grow closer to his two sisters, but was worried by their decidedly un-Imperial views and there were regular arguments between Zandro and his sisters over who was doing the right thing for the Galaxy in the ongoing conflict. Their differences in views didn’t keep the siblings from being close, but did worry Zandro that he may have relatives who would end up on the wrong side of the war. However, as he came of age, he forgot this, bid farewell to his family and followed his brother into the Navy, although the one he joined was slightly different than that of Xayun; The Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet was Zandro’s destination.
Using an assumed name in a bid to try and gain a reputation for himself instead of living with his fathers reputation as a pilot, Zandro, now known as Chris Cox to those in the EH, sped through training in relatively quick time before being placed in Viper Squadron aboard the ISD Intrepid. As time went on, his superiors decided to allow the young man to command his own squadron and he was transferred to Asp squadron on the Intrepid and promoted to the rank of Commander. He quickly secured a promotion to the rank of Captain and was beginning to make a name for himself before he had a disagreement with his superiors and was removed from command. Feeling unjustly treated for the first but not the last time, he transferred to Rage squadron on the SSD Avenger, which is where he first heard of the Brotherhood. He was soon given command of the squadron and worked his way up to the rank of Major and the long-standing nickname of ‘Major Cox’, one that has stuck with him to this day. His final act as a member of the Emperor’s Hammer was to join the ‘elite’ Praetorian squadron. It was here that he was raised up to Lieutenant Colonel, but he was subjected to the seedier aspects of EH politics. In the 9 months he spent in the squadron, he realised that the politics behind the EH were just as corrupt and damaging to the Imperial cause as those of the New Republic. On one mission where he had to apprehend a ‘fugitive’, he realised that he was in the wrong organisation. Taking his ship and fleeing, Zandro sold the ship as soon as he made planet fall and made his way back to Yaga Minor. One chapter of his life closed, just as another opened, and he learned of his force potential.
From Discovery to Tragedy in one epic step
On his shuttle ride back to Yaga Minor he was sat next to a woman who he began to talk to on the trip, and discovered that they were very similar in both temperament and personality. They agreed to meet up once they had arrived on Yaga Minor and settled in, and she revealed that she could sense something within him that she would explain at their next meeting. After meeting up with his family and getting settled in, he headed out and met up with the woman from the shuttle once more. She introduced herself as Breshnaa and told him that she was an envoy from the Dark Jedi Brotherhood he had encountered while in the Emperor’s Hammer and that she had been sent to find Zandro himself to offer him a place in the Brotherhood. Perplexed but very tempted by the offer, Zandro asked her to stay with him on Yaga Minor for a while to explain the situation and what the Brotherhood was about. She agreed and moved in with him and as time went on, they began to develop a special bond that they realised was nothing to do with the Force; they were in love. This was the final thing that persuaded the man to join the Brotherhood and he booked a passage to the Brotherhood HQ before confronting his family and informing them of his decision.
