- Alaris Jinn: "Peace is a lie."
- Darth Plagueis: "Shut up."
- ―Alaris encountering the ghost of Darth Plagueis on Morroth
Alaris Jinn is a Twi'lek Sith Master and Dread Lord of Plagueis. who publicly operates as a wealthy industrialist and philanthropist. Born from poverty and shaped by experiences with corruption and injustice, he developed an obsession with imposing order upon a chaotic galaxy. His methods evolved from vigilantism into political influence, economic dominance, and strategic warfare.
While he projects decadence and refinement publicly, privately he remains a disciplined strategist who values preparation, intelligence, and control above all else. He does not seek power for pleasure; he seeks power because he believes only those willing to wield it can prevent others from abusing it.
Character History
Childhood
- "The mind of a child is easy to shape, and easier, still, to destroy."
- ―Alaris Jinn to his Apprentice, Kaira Rohana
A Young Alaris Jinn on Coruscant
Born on Imperial Center (Coruscant) two years after the Battle of Yavin, Alar'isjin grew up in poverty as a Twi'lek facing prejudice under the Empire. Sheltered by devoted parents, he developed resentment toward their inability to change their circumstances. His only close friend, Yussan Bino, eventually left the Works, leaving Alar isolated.
At thirteen, after his parents finally saved enough money to send him to Ryloth, they were murdered by xenophobic attackers. In a burst of unexplained strength through the Force, Alar killed both murderers with one of their own weapons. The event shaped his lifelong hatred of corruption and injustice.
The Vigilante
Living alone in the depths of Coruscant, Alar survived as a thief who stole only from the wealthy. Over time, he turned his attention toward hunting corrupt officials, criminals, and those who profited from exploitation. Though operating outside the law, he became an unseen vigilante who distributed much of what he stole to the poor.
His activities eventually attracted the attention of the Dark Jedi Ky Terrak. After witnessing Terrak defeat a Jedi, Alar accepted an offer to learn about the Force.
The Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Ky Terrak trained Alar in the ways of the Dark Side before bringing him to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. After completing the Shadow Academy, Alar abandoned his former identity, taking the name Alaris Jinn and dedicating himself fully to Clan Plagueis.
As a Journeyman, Alaris participated in numerous military campaigns against the Crimson Tide, steadily earning promotions through leadership, discipline, and combat ability. He developed a reputation for relentless determination and an uncompromising hatred of corruption.
Knighthood
After completing his trials and constructing his lightsaber, Alaris achieved the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He served as Aedile of House Satal Keto, mentored apprentices, commanded the Star Destroyer Ballista, and became an influential military and political leader within Clan Plagueis.
Although respected for his effectiveness, his harsh training methods and ruthless pursuit of justice often placed him at odds with allies and rivals alike.
The War of Ascension
During the Jusadih Civil War, Alaris played a leading role in overthrowing the feudal powers that controlled the system. Through military campaigns and covert operations, he helped secure victory for Clan Plagueis and was promoted to Quaestor and later Proconsul.
His belief that corruption could only be eradicated through absolute control became the defining philosophy of his leadership.
Consul of Clan Plagueis
- "Surely, you understand the word 'Sith' well enough to know that the phrase 'temporary loyalty' is redundant."
- ―Kal Vorrac
Following the Ninth Great Jedi War, Alaris orchestrated a successful political coup that removed Braecen Kaeth from power and elevated himself to Consul of Clan Plagueis. His reign focused on strengthening the Clan, centralizing authority, and eliminating opposition.
Though initially successful, years of rule led to growing unrest. Eventually choosing a different path, Alaris relinquished leadership and stepped away from the Dark Throne.
Justice and Politics
Leaving behind direct rule, Alaris served as Right Hand and later Left Hand of Justice within the Brotherhood, using his skills to hunt corruption across the galaxy.
Later, he entered politics, serving as Senator for the Jusadih System while concealing his connection to the Brotherhood behind his birth name, Alar'isjin. Despite his political career, he remained closely tied to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and continued pursuing his lifelong mission: imposing order upon a corrupt galaxy by any means necessary.
Taldryan, Arcona, and Back Again
The Horizons Plague ripped through Jusadih as it did everyone else, and while Plagueis travelled to The Anchorage, Alaris decided to move on from his old Clan and join Taldryan. The Dark Crusade brought him closer and closer to his goal of control, and be began to change the way his philosophy was to be enacted.
He travelled to Arcona and became an Aedile of House Qel-Droma, but was eventually seized as an Inquisitorius spy. He was tortured for months and eventually released by his former Consul and mentor, Braecen Kaeth. He was sent by Jac Cotelin to bring Taldryan to heel, and he spent several months hunting down the Clan.
His success in this brought him his first appointment as a Dark Councillor, Fist of the Brotherhood. He served during Great Jedi War XIII, but he experienced true failure for the first time in his life, of his own doing and was allowed to keep his life, but not his position.
This eventually brought him back to Plagueis. Selika Roh, the new Consul, was surrounding herself with intelligent individuals with a similar outlook. Alaris took over as Proconsul for a short period before resigning to focus on his new task: Avenging his failures against the Collective.
Meridian, Arx, and Cor'neria
Alaris used his now vast collection of contacts and favours to build a small financial empire. He began to study how power could be gained through finance and favours. This led to him to owning 10% of the stock of a Collective Corporation: Capital Enterprises. He managed this through a massive buy of shares after a stock collapse of his own design. He became a billionaire in a matter of a year. He created the Jinn Hospitality Group as a front, but held stock in hundreds of thousands of companies across the galaxy. He then used this influence to bring down Capital Enterprises, so that it could be acquired by Arx Capital Exchange at an incredibly low price.
This work granted him several hero titles and eventually he was granted the rank of Sith Master. Following this success, Alaris was named the new Dread Lord of Plagueis, returning to the role he held nearly 2 decades earlier.
Personality
Alaris Jinn is a controlled, calculating, and intensely disciplined Sith who presents himself as a refined industrialist and philanthropist while privately operating as a strategist willing to manipulate events from the shadows. He is not driven by simple cruelty or a desire for destruction; he sees himself as a necessary force of order in a galaxy consumed by corruption, incompetence, and chaos.
He is intelligent, patient, and pragmatic, preferring to win through preparation, influence, and psychological warfare rather than brute force. Alaris rarely acts impulsively. Every alliance, investment, battle, and conversation is viewed as a move on a larger strategic board. He believes emotions are useful tools but dangerous masters, and he works constantly to maintain control over himself and those around him.
Despite his arrogance, Alaris is not simply a narcissist. His confidence comes from a lifetime of overcoming hardship and recognizing patterns of failure in others, and in himself. He believes most people are trapped by their weaknesses — greed, fear, ignorance, or ambition — and that someone must have the vision and discipline to impose stability upon them.
However, this creates one of his greatest flaws: Alaris struggles to trust others. He sees dependence as vulnerability and often believes that if he does not personally control a situation, it will inevitably collapse. This places him at odds with allies like Nora Olen, who view his unwillingness to delegate or believe in others as arrogance disguised as wisdom.
Philosophy
Alaris is not a conqueror; he is an architect.
- "Order is not given. It must be created, enforced, and maintained by those strong enough to bear the burden."
- ―Alaris Jinn to Selika Roh.
Born from poverty and shaped by witnessing corruption and injustice, Alaris came to reject the idea that the galaxy naturally moves toward fairness. In his view, freedom without structure becomes chaos, and chaos allows the cruel and incompetent to exploit everyone else. Unlike Sith who seek power purely for personal glory, Alaris views power as a responsibility and a weapon. Those capable of shaping the galaxy have an obligation to do so. His Sith philosophy is built around the belief that strength grants the right—and duty—to impose order upon those who cannot create it themselves.
His methods have evolved over time:
- Early Alaris: A vigilante who punished criminals and corrupt officials directly.
- Developing Alaris: A strategist who realized individual victories were meaningless without changing the systems that created the problems.
- Current Alaris: A political and economic architect who uses corporations, influence, intelligence networks, and military force to reshape the galaxy.
He does not see himself as evil. In his mind, he is a realist willing to do what others lack the courage to do. The suffering caused by his actions is justified if the end result is a more stable galaxy. He struggled with the concept of being Sith early in his life. He thought of himself as better than them, that he sought justice rather than dominance. As he matured he realized that the Sith were not wrong about power; they were wrong about how to use it.
Public vs Private
Alaris Jinn’s greatest deception is that his public persona is not a lie — it is a carefully edited version of the truth. He genuinely believes he is bringing order to the galaxy; the difference is that the public sees the idealist, while those closest to him see the tyrant beneath the surface.
Public Persona: The Benevolent Industrialist and Reformer

To the galaxy at large, Alaris presents himself as:
- A wealthy entrepreneur and philanthropist who rose from poverty through intelligence, discipline, and determination.
- A champion against corruption, someone who uses influence, resources, and political connections to dismantle criminal organizations, exploitative governments, and inefficient institutions.
- A disciplined strategist and statesman, calm, composed, and always several steps ahead.
- A mentor and patron, someone who invests in talented individuals and gives opportunities to those who would otherwise be ignored.
- A necessary realist, a man who understands that idealism alone cannot fix a broken galaxy.
To outsiders, Alaris is the rare Sith who appears almost respectable: controlled, intelligent, charitable, and motivated by a desire to create stability. His reputation is built on the fact that many people genuinely have benefited from his actions.
Private Persona: The Architect of Control

- "The galaxy does not suffer because there is too much power. It suffers because the wrong people wield it."
- ―Alaris Jinn to Nora Olen.
Behind closed doors, Alaris is far colder. The people who truly know him see:
- A manipulator, not a leader. He prefers controlling the people who hold power rather than sitting visibly on the throne himself.
- A perfectionist who trusts almost nobody. Everyone has a purpose, a weakness, or a price.
- A man obsessed with order because he fears chaos. His childhood experiences with poverty, prejudice, and corruption shaped his belief that uncontrolled systems inevitably hurt the innocent.
- A Sith who views emotions as tools. Compassion, loyalty, fear, respect, and even love are all resources that can be cultivated and exploited.
- A mentor who intentionally creates enemies. He pushes apprentices and protégés harshly because he believes adversity creates strength.
The private Alaris does not ask:
"What is the right thing to do?"
He asks:
"What must happen for the desired outcome to occur?"
The Tragedy of Alaris
The most interesting aspect is that the public persona is not entirely false. Alaris does hate suffering. He does want a better galaxy. He does believe he is protecting people. The tragedy is that his solution to injustice became the very thing he originally fought against.
A young Alaris looked at corruption and thought:
"Someone must stop those who abuse power."
The older Alaris looked at the galaxy and concluded:
"Someone must possess enough power that nobody can abuse it."
And eventually, that someone became him.

Prosper
Prosper is a heavily modified Minstrel-class space yacht owned by Alaris Jinn. At 160 meters long, the yacht serves as Jinn's primary personal spacecraft and home away from Aliso.
Built for extended travel, Prosper carries the comforts and amenities expected of one of Jinn's residences alongside the facilities necessary to conduct business, receive guests, and support members of his household. Among those familiar with both properties, the yacht has earned a simple description: "Mobile Aster Vale."
History
Prosper was built for Alaris Jinn by Ulbirikkian Industries, based on the company's Minstrel-class space yacht.
Jinn's specifications departed considerably from a conventional passenger yacht. Much of the available space was given over to private residences, entertainment, hospitality, and the needs of his household rather than maximizing passenger capacity. The ship was also equipped with extensive defensive systems and enough independent support infrastructure to remain away from port for long periods.
Prosper subsequently became Jinn's preferred means of personal travel, allowing him to travel with his household and continue conducting his personal, political, and business affairs in surroundings considerably closer to home.
Design
Prosper measures 160 meters long, with a 55.6-meter beam and an overall height of 26.3 meters.
The yacht's unusual internal arrangement takes advantage of its broad stern and long, tapered bow. Most of the machinery required to operate the ship is concentrated in the aft portion of the hull. Residential and hospitality spaces occupy much of the remaining vessel, insulating them from the noise and activity of the engineering spaces.
Hangar
A large hangar occupies the bottom of Prosper's aft section. With approximately ten meters of vertical clearance, it can accommodate as many as four starfighters or small shuttlecraft, along with the equipment needed to maintain them.
The hangar also provides direct access to cargo and maintenance facilities elsewhere aboard the yacht.
Technical Core
Above the hangar is the yacht's main technical core, containing its electrical distribution systems, water storage and reclamation equipment, environmental machinery, and primary computer systems.
Essential equipment is divided among multiple compartments rather than housed in a single machinery room, allowing individual systems to be isolated for maintenance or in the event of damage.

Engineering
Prosper's engineering spaces occupy the level above the technical core. In addition to the equipment associated with the yacht's propulsion and other mechanical systems, the area contains workshops, repair bays, fabrication equipment, diagnostic stations, tools, and spare parts.
Components from elsewhere aboard Prosper can be brought here for repair, while work on the yacht's embarked spacecraft is generally performed in the hangar below.
Bridge and Operations
The yacht's bridge occupies the prominent dome atop the aft hull. Flight control, navigation, communications, sensors, shields, and weapons are controlled from stations here.
An operations section extends forward from the bridge and contains additional monitoring and communications stations, weapons-system support, planning areas, and secure conference rooms. This allows larger operations to be coordinated without filling the bridge with personnel who are not directly involved in flying the ship.
Residential Deck
The upper portion of Prosper's main hull is reserved for Jinn's household and contains the private apartments of his Inner Circle.
The deck is considerably less formal than the hospitality areas below it. Shared spaces include lounges, recreational areas, an informal mess and dining room, and a dedicated ballet studio. The residential deck is considered part of the household rather than a guest area, and access is normally restricted accordingly.
Diplomatic and Hospitality Deck
Prosper's diplomatic and hospitality spaces are used to receive Jinn's guests and provide much of the yacht's entertainment space.
Guest suites share the deck with formal dining facilities, lounges, salons, and a smaller counterpart to Aster Vale's Grand Hall. A private casino contains two sabacc tables and provides a considerably less formal setting for entertaining guests.
The deck allows Jinn to host visitors for extended periods without opening the private residential areas of the yacht to them.
Personnel and Logistics
Crew accommodations and much of Prosper's day-to-day support infrastructure occupy the lower inhabited portion of the main hull.
The area contains crew and passenger quarters, medical facilities, cargo storage, ship's stores, security facilities, housekeeping and laundry spaces, and other practical necessities. Additional accommodations are available for aides, specialists, security personnel, or others who need transportation aboard Prosper but are not traveling as Jinn's personal guests.
Prosper's medical facilities can handle routine treatment and provide emergency care for more serious casualties until they can be transferred to a dedicated medical facility.
Lower Technical
A shallow technical level runs beneath much of Prosper's main hull. It carries the power, data, plumbing, environmental, and other service connections needed throughout the yacht, as well as equipment associated with shields, heat management, and hull systems.
The space becomes progressively smaller toward the bow as the hull narrows, with full machinery spaces eventually giving way to maintenance passages and service access.
Executive Suite
Alaris Jinn's private residence occupies much of Prosper's upper forward hull.
Far larger than conventional shipboard quarters, the Executive Suite was designed as an apartment in its own right. In addition to Jinn's bedroom, dressing room, and private refresher, it includes sitting and dining rooms, a personal library, office, meditation space, and other private amenities.
The residence connects readily with the residential deck used by Jinn's household while remaining separate from both it and the public areas of the yacht.
Circulation
Four primary repulsorlifts provide vertical movement through Prosper. One pair is located near the boundary between the aft engineering section and the main inhabited hull, while another pair sits farther forward near the beginning of the Executive Suite.
Stairways provide additional connections between neighboring levels, with separate service access available in technical areas. Access controls restrict movement into the yacht's private residential, executive, and operational spaces.
Systems and Armament
Although Prosper is not intended to serve as a warship, Alaris Jinn had little interest in owning an expensive spacecraft incapable of defending itself.
The yacht carries six turbolaser turrets, eight point-defense laser cannons, and a tractor beam. Experimental shield generators provide additional protection.
Prosper is also equipped with an experimental droid brain integrated extensively into the yacht's systems. The intelligence can assist the crew with routine ship operations and is capable of flying and fighting the vessel autonomously when necessary.

Complement
Prosper requires a crew of approximately ten for normal operation. Its accommodations allow Jinn's household, guests, security personnel, and other passengers to travel alongside the permanent crew.
The yacht carries approximately 90 metric tonnes of cargo, distributed between dedicated cargo areas and stores throughout the vessel.
Auxiliary Craft
Prosper's hangar has berths for up to four small spacecraft, although its normal complement is considerably smaller.
Its primary embarked craft is Fortune, a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft owned by Alaris Jinn. The heavily armed vessel serves as both an escort for Prosper and a smaller alternative when the 160-meter yacht is unsuitable for a particular destination or mission.
Additional hangar berths can accommodate starfighters, shuttlecraft, or visiting vessels as required.
