Research Director Kadrol Hauen is a Pantoran academic who specializes in the archaeologies of early Force usage and its relationship to religions and the occult of cultures across the galaxy. He originally joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood with Clan Plagueis in 34 ABY, later spending nearly a decade among the imperial ranks of Clan Scholae Palatinae before joining Clan Odan-Urr as Aedile of House Hoth in 44 ABY.
History
Childhood
Born in 21 ABY, Kadrol Hauen is the eldest of three children born to disgraced Pantoran noble Anya Terrano and Cyrus Hauen, a human hailing from Naboo. Though both his parents come from the political class, Hauen’s upbringing was not one of significant wealth, owing to his mother being disowned for disapproval of her and Cyrus Hauen’s relationship. Despite this, Kadrol grew up on Pantora, raised primarily by his mother as Cyrus often spent long periods away on trips for work.
At age five, Kadrol displayed his first signs of Force sensitivity, moving small objects as a means of annoying his younger sister, Tala. Despite this being the confirmed narrative of his abilities, Kadrol maintains that he had been able to discern the histories of handheld items for up to multiple years prior, but that his lack of surrounding knowledge allowed that skill to go unnoticed.
Schooling
Kadrol went to a normal school on Pantora before being recruited by Brimstone. In school, Kadrol was always at the top of his class. He was also especially good at History.
As Kadrol grew up, he had been told by his teachers that he would make a good leader and strategist. At the time, Kadrol didn’t think much of this statement, but as he matured, he could see what they meant. Kadrol was seemingly invulnerable at Holo chess, He was great at debating, and he loved analysis. He was a very gifted boy, but there was more to it than anybody knew. Since a very young age, Kadrol had a sort of energy that he could feel surrounding him. It was a very comforting feeling for him. He had the Force.
In school, Kadrol was at the top of his class. He was particularly fascinated with Galactic History and developed a passion for learning about the Jedi Order, as well as their enemies, the Sith. In 34 ABY, at the age of thirteen, he met a Chiss named Brimstone, a Sith warrior, who offered Kadrol an opportunity to learn about the ancient orders. Kadrol, thrilled with the chance to live out the life of some of his heroes, accepted the offer and was taken to train with Brimstone. Kadrol was given his very own training lightsaber as a reward for his progress by his first master, Brimstone.
Having been recruited to the Brotherhood, Kadrol was initiated into Clan Plagueis. It was here that Kadrol was indoctrinated with dark-side beliefs, including views on power, and mercilessness. Many, including himself, defined his first months in the brotherhood as a Sith. Through the passing of time, Kadrol’s stance on Sith and Plagueian ideals softened, likely due to his semi-frequent visits to his parents on Pantora. Due to the brevity of time with which he was a part of Clan Plagueis, he does not consider it to be a part of his formal training, regardless of how his time there shaped him.
Adolescence
Kadrol shortly after joining the Brotherhood
In 35 ABY, Kadrol undertook the name Fallitar and, under the guise, attempted to gain influence and power by infiltrating the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This ultimately failed, however, and Kadrol was put on trial in the Chamber of Justice, where he was punished with a three-level demotion, as well as being forced into exile for a year to think about his actions. This time off changed Kadrol’s outlook on the force, and life in general, and so, upon his return, Kadrol vowed to take the path of the Gray Jedi.
Having changed his ways, Kadrol decided he would join a new clan, eventually being accepted by Scholae Palatinae. Kadrol quickly gained the attention of Empress Elincia Rei, though many within the clan viewed him as troublesome. Due to reasons unknown to all but the empress herself, and possibly Grand Admiral Mune Cinteroph as well, Elincia decided to taken on Kadrol as her apprentice, stating that Kylex had become a “bad influence” on the Padawan. Just four months later, Kadrol was knighted by Darth Aeternus during the battle of the Meridian. Several weeks following the battle, the Pantoran was given an official knighting ceremony back within the Caperion System on October 24, 36 ABY. He was the first member of the clan to be knighted at the new clan capital in Caelestis City.
In 37 ABY, The death of Elincia Rei caused Kadrol to once again leave his clan, this time for fear of his life. Elincia had been killed a traitor, her legacy falling to pieces as a result. Kadrol, in his grief, became paranoid that he would be roped in with Elincia's traitorous actions. He fled early in the morning to the Mid Rim. During the journey, Kadrol reflected on his time with his late master, ultimately coming to the conclusion that Kadrol had been little more than an inconvenience for Elincia. During his time in the Mid Rim, Kadrol worked on schooling and visited with family. While visiting his family on Pantora, Kadrol would decide to receive the tattoos of his clan, something he had sworn off for the longest time. After a period of about three years, Kadrol decided it was time to return to Clan Scholae Palatinae. He spent the next year honing his skills and learning to fight with two lightsabers. At the end of his training, Kadrol returned to the Caperion system, ready to pave a trail and cement his legacy.
Early Adulthood
Upon Kadrol's return to Clan Scholae Palatinae in Early 41 ABY, things were very different within the clan. The Caperion system had been united. Kamjin Lap'lamiz now ruled as Emperor. Several new people had joined the clan. However, nothing had changed more than Kadrol himself. While on leave, Kadrol had seen many injustices which struck him to the core, and he vowed to follow the moral law and right wrongs at any cost. This change in behavior and view towards the Sith among the ranks left him questioning his future within the clan, but the few other Force Disciples convinced him to remain; if only to change the clan from within. In 44 ABY, shortly before the beginning of the seventeenth Great Jedi War, Kadrol's discontent in Scholae Palatinae reached a boiling point. Called upon by the Grand Master and his clan to serve in what would become the final blow to the Collective, Kadrol reluctantly accepted. In what would become his final actions as a Palatinaen, this war would mark his most proud achievement to date.
Shortly after the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Kadrol’s patience around the more dark-side oriented members of Clan Scholae Palatinae began to wear thin. He took the following month to travel and decompress, eventually finding himself on Solyiat right as the planet erupted into chaos. Guided by the Force and aided by visions during his time on the planet, Kadrol made his way to Trepus Base where he met Corinna Magarin and became her second-in-command on the spot.
Archaeology
In the time since his schooling, Kadrol has made an occupation out of his interest in cultures of the past. For many years now, he has worked with the Shadow Academy and Aurora Collegium of Sciences to excavate and document numerous archaeological sites spanning many millennia. Kadrol's research interests are primarily directed towards early Force usage and the religious sects that were built around those abilities. While he has historically directed his focus towards the Rakatans and Ancient Sith, he has recently begun researching the Jedi and their predecessors as well.
Kadrol greatly favors fieldwork and interpretation over the reading and writing side of the discipline, often feeling trapped within his office. Performing laboratory and field work allows Kadrol to operate on a schedule that allows him to fully flesh out his thoughts, with full concentration on the task at hand. For the same reasons, he prefers to teach in a style that may seem laid-back, utilizing story- and land-based methods.
Behavior
Relationship with the Force
Kadrol views the Force as living, but only so far as one might imagine the wind and waves to be. When he hears his colleagues speak of the living Force, he is more likely to read it as metaphorical, though he acknowledges there are certainly properties that make it appear living. When he draws on the Force, he uses this living metaphor to connect more deeply to it, putting himself in tune with his own body and mind as well as the extraordinary tasks he is asking of himself.
Morals and Values

Hobbies and Interests
Kadrol initially learned pazaak while playing with the Scholae imperial forces between battles during their advancement on Ulress, where Kadrol became quite good at the game. He has continued to play whenever he is out in the field, whether that be a battlefield or fieldwork. He now tries to teach all the students and crew members he takes out to the field.
Another interest picked up at least partially as a result of his occupation, Kadrol is not one to turn down a drink. While more of a curious drinker than a heavy drinker, he definitely has his favorites. When not trying a new cocktail or brand he’s never had, Kadrol defaults back to a good cider or Corellian whiskey.
Kadrol loves the thrill of a good race. While his favorite style is podracing, he will happily watch racing in just about any form. He’d also be ecstatic to have a chance to participate, though mixed results should be expected.
Relationships
Brimstone
Brimstone is a Chiss in Clan Plagueis who recruited Kadrol to the brotherhood. He was Kadrol’s first master and guided him until Kadrol’s conviction. Under the leadership of Brimstone, Kadrol reached the rank of JM3, before his demotion before Kadrol was demoted back to NV4.
Kylex Sanguris
After Kadrol returned to the Brotherhood and joined Clan Scholae Palatinae, Kylex was the one who took Kadrol in. Kadrol hoped this will be the master to lead him to knighthood, but internal struggles between the two led to Kadrol being re-apprenticed. He apprenticed Kadrol from NV4 to JM2 during his time as Kadrol’s master.
Elincia Rei
Kadrol was re-apprenticed to Elincia after internal issues between Kadrol and Kylex. Kadrol hoped to learn how to become a leader under his master and Consul, Elincia. Shortly after becoming apprenticed to Elincia, Kadrol earned his first Sage from the Shadow Academy. This was something he had been working on since Kylex was his master but finally came to fruition due to the teachings of Elincia, who guided Kadrol to knighthood. He was crushed when he learned of her death and was told she had used her position as Consul to betray the Empire.
Corinna Magarin
While Kadrol has not known Corinna for very long, they see eye to eye on a lot of issues and even share very closely in their research interests. Kadrol firmly believes their meeting was not coincidence, though that is primarily the result of Corinna’s hard work put into convincing him. The two plan to conduct joint fieldwork together in the near future.
Possessions
Having just arrived in Odan-Urr territory, Kadrol is still in the process of moving (44 ABY).
Kadrol’s Warbanner
Kadrol’s Warbanner is adorned with silver trim, a mark of knighthood within the Brotherhood. The fabric is made of cloth, denoting his relatively low-ranking status. The fabric is a solid red style to give a sense of wealth and regality that can be attributed to his family’s presence in the Pantoran Senate. The emblem found in the center of the warbanner is the Hauen family crest.
The crest of the Hauen family is typically applied in a single color, as it was first applied onto armor during war times in 2500 BBY when it was first created. As a result, it has become a tradition to keep the crest in a single color, although it is not always used in this way. The emblem is in black to represent the relatively humble background of the family, having no famous beings to the name. The emblem itself is a spiral galaxy surrounded by nine stars. The four points in the diamond at the center of the galaxy represent the four core ideals of the Hauen family. The two large, which attach to the spiraling arms, represent the most important two ideals, love and courage. The two small, pointed arms which complete the diamond shape represent the other two ideals of knowledge and trust. The galaxy as a whole represents how the family has spread from their home world on Dantooine to systems all over the galaxy. The nine stars represent the nine children of the crest’s creator, Jameson Hauen. Kadrol is believed to be the only remaining person with the emblem, as only the first son of each of the nine descendants is allowed to inherit the emblem to use as their own.
Fixed to the warbanner is a set of silver rails and emblems of the Grand Master’s Royal Guard, Shroud Syndicate, Antei Combat Center, and the Shadow Academy society, of which Kadrol is a part, as well as the emblem of his order, the Force Disciples. Though they are insignificant pieces of metal to most, Kadrol finds meaning in each of them.

Kadrol's Lightsaber
Purple Lightsaber
His lightsaber was given to him as a gift by his first master, Brimstone. It originally had a red blade, and a basic cylindrical hilt that all initiates have, he was a Sith initiate at the time. After his conviction and exile, Kadrol vowed to change his ways. It was during this period of time when Kadrol traveled to Dantooine, to search for a new crystal for his lightsaber in the crystal cave. Brimstone had told him stories of the cave, and Kadrol had a general idea of where it was. After Kadrol landed on the planet, it only took an hour of searching before he found the cave. He reached out to the Force and followed its directions. The Force led him to a crystal on the cave wall, Kadrol reached up and broke it off. He went back to his ship and meditated. Using the Force, he disassembled his lightsaber, replaced the crystal, and reassembled the weapon. Coming out of his meditation, Kadrol stood up and ignited the saber. It now glowed with a deep violet blade. Upon reaching knighthood, his master Elincia took him into a room containing hundreds of thousands of lightsaber parts. Calling upon the Force, Kadrol created a new hilt to house his Kyber Crystal. The new hilt featured an angled emitter made of durasteel and bronze, and a plasteel hilt, highlighted with bronze accents, which curves at the end, and a rubber grip. The activation switch is small in comparison with most lightsabers, but this fact does not detract from the functionality of the saber. The lightsaber is equipped with a slave circuit linked to his Gozanti-class Cruiser and has additionally been waterproofed, truly preparing Kadrol to fight in any condition. In 37 ABY, Kadrol would once again upgrade his lightsaber, this time by making the journey to Christophsis to secure a focusing crystal. Crystals from the planet Christophsis are said to produce much more powerful impacts than normal Kyber crystals.
Kadrol Training to Dual Wield
Yellow Lightsaber
Kadrol crafted his yellow-bladed shoto lightsaber in 40 ABY while on sabbatical from the mishaps of the Dark Brotherhood. The hilt of this lightsaber is much more simplistic in design than his saber of regular length, featuring a rounded black hilt with contours on two sides, allowing for ease of control in either hand. The hilt also features an elegant silver trim which contrasts nicely with the dark casing. This simplicity in design represents Kadrol's more refined nature and an inner peace he had yet to find when he first started on his journey through the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The focusing crystal in this lightsaber is a Nishalorite stone, which causes the lightsaber to intensify when pointing to magnetic north. Finding the Nishalorite stone proved difficult for Kadrol, and it wasn't until he found his own true north and finally accepted himself that he was even able to locate the stone. In the time since, Kadrol has upgraded the lightsaber with waterproofing and a slave circuit linked to his speeder.
Appearance
Physical Appearance
Kadrol is a Pantoran. As such, he has beautiful cerulean blue skin. He is slightly taller than the average Pantoran, standing at 5'10" (178cm), and weighs 178 pounds (80.6 Kilos). He has cornflower blue skin with glacial blue eyes. His mixed genetics expresses very obviously in his golden blond hair which features a prominent blue streak on the top-right side. He keeps his hair fairly short in order to cut down on maintenance. On each side of his face are traditional Pantoran tattoos composed of a singular line following an arc along his cheekbone and coming to an end with a diamond; somewhat resembling a shooting star. His medium frame is largely untoned, his muscles hidden underneath his skin. Kadrol's only other major distinguishing mark is a small half-moon-shaped scar on the middle of his left index finger.
Tattoos
Like many Pantorans, Kadrol has distinctive facial tattoos on each cheek which represent house Hauen's heritage. However, because his father was human, Kadrol had held off on getting these tattoos for the longest time. Perhaps as a by-product of his travels across the galaxy, Kadrol eventually came to the conclusion that he should not merely be an embodiment of what it meant to be a Hauen, but also what it meant to be Pantoran. So, when he returned to Pantora next, he worked to design and receive his very own house markings. The tattoos, placed on each cheekbone, resemble a shooting star and consist of a diamond-shaped head with an arc-shaped tail trailing up and back towards his ear. The symbol was designed to evoke the imagery of the Hauen crest as well as its meaning.
Dress
When called up for action, either as a result of warfare, mission, or a conflict of his own creation, Kadrol dons a set of Clone Wars-style Jedi armor. For many years, Kadrol wore dark robes under the maroon plastoid armor pieces as a reminder of his dark past. He made the switch to white armor over tan or other like earth tones upon his ascent to Aedile with his move to Clan Odan-Urr. When particularly strapped for time to get ready, Kadrol has been known to throw the armor pieces over his typical archaeological or casual wear.
Kadrol has completely assimilated to the classic idea of what an archaeologist should look like. His typical field outfit consists of a light brown, long-sleeved button-up shirt of a lightweight and breathable construction, sturdy khaki trousers, a simple burnt-umber colored belt, and comfortable, eight-inch tall, lace-up, leather boots with moccasin-style toe stitching. He has grown accustomed to this style of dress to the point he is nearly always wearing some version of it, save for the few occasions he finds himself with no intention to leave his home.
Having been a scientist in Scholae Palatinae for many years, Kadrol can occassionally be seen in the grab of the imperial scientists when the situation arises.
Despite being adjacent to high society, Kadrol doesn’t ‘do’ formalwear, finding it highly restrictive and uncomfortable. In the event he finds himself in a formal situation, he will happily wear the same type of clothing he wears to the field, though he does distinguish between those that have seen the field and those that have not. At the extreme end, he may wear a button-down and dark pants instead of a button-up and khakis.
