Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz is the current Justicar of the Brotherhood having assumed the role in 41 ABY when Darth Renatus was elevated to Deputy Grand Master. He was later reaffirmed to the role in 43 ABY and continues to serve into Darth Renatus's reign as Grand Master.
During his tenure as Justicar he championed the sunsetting of the Letters of Reprimand as a means of Judicial punishment. He was also the first Justicar enact a Judicial punishment related to Experience Points (XP) in Chamber of Justice (CoJ) Case 071 setting a precedent that was refined in CoJ Case 072. To ensure transparency of the Chamber's activities these were codified within the Covenant with an XP Amendment in 43 ABY.
Prior to serving as Justicar, Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz was the Emperor of Clan Scholae Palatinae and was responsible for ending the Civil War within the Caperion System gaining him the title 'Conqueror' when he consolidated power from the remaining governments on Seraph. Following the invasion by the Children of Mortis and the destruction of Caelestis City he moved Scholae Palatinae's seat of power from Ragnath to Seraph and commissioned the creation of The Monolith to serve as the Clan's new base of operations.
Childhood
Tenzin & Sayuri Lap'lamiz
Tenzin Lap'lamiz before Order 66 
Sayuri of House Juranno Kamjin was born in 16 BBY and raised by his parents Tenjin and Sayuri Lap'lamiz in their royal estate at Juranno, Alderaan. Tenzin had been a young Jedi Knight before Order 66. While he served as a General during the Clone Wars he had disagreed with the Jedi Council on how the war should be waged, feeling that if the Jedi were truly committed to being warriors that they should return to the doctrines seen during the Great Sith War fought against Exar Kun.
Concerned for his well being the Jedi Council had furloughed him from his assignment and sent him to mediate. As a result, he was not around his Clone Troopers when Order 66 was issued. He was one of the few Jedi to receive a distress call indicating that Bail Organa was providing sanctuary and assistance fleeing from the Empire. While laid over on Alderaan Tenzin happened to meet Sayuri of House Juranno.
Sayuri was captivated by Tenzin and the two quickly fell in love. Utilizing her families assets she was able to create a new identity for Tenzin and soon wed him. Tenzin's natural political leanings matched well with House Juranno's pro-Empire position. Two years later, in 2 BBY Kamjin Lap'lamiz was born and named heir to his mother's title as Duchess of Juranno. Two years later, in 4 BBY, Kamjin's sister Milia was born.
Childhood
Kamjin was raised in the valley between the Juran Mountains in the royal household of the Duchess of Juranno. He was a bright eyed boy who was consistently at the top of his classes. However, when he was four there was an incident where Kamjin blacked out and strangled one of his classmates. Tenzin, already aware that the Force was strong in his children, took Kamjin into the mountains to begin training him.
Kamjin also received the traditional combat training that the children of Juranno received. While the planet was considered pacifist by the galaxy, there were still guards trained to support the nobility and those guards were drawn from the citizens of Juranno. This contributed to the animosity between the citizens in Juranno and the rest of the planet. The planet considering them backwards while those from Juranno knew the hypocrisy in their beliefs.

Tenzin trained Kamjin to harness the Force and in the ways of the lightsaber. Tenzin knew that while it was dangerous to keep a lightsaber in the era of the Empire he would rather have been armed than unarmed. Kamjin showed an early aptitude towards the old Force Battle Meditation skill which Tenzin sought to strengthen by having Kamjin study historical Jedi conflicts. Tenzin was disappointed to find that Kamjin was more so inclined to the poorly named Jedi Mind Trick.
When not camping with his Father and learning the Jedi arts, Kamjin was trained in leadership by his mother. She sought to prepare him for his regal obligations to assume the title of Duke of Juranno when he came of age. While Tenzin always sought to find a balance, Sayuri shared her opinions freely and counseled Kamjin that he should be more definitive in his decision making. This would lead Kamjin to over-analysis situations in his adulthood. Sayuri felt that Alderaan was unnecessarily putting itself in jeopardy with the Empire and the foolish pacifism beliefs would illicit a strong Imperial response.
She ensured Kamjin was given the best in Imperial training and that whenever Senator Organa was hosting Imperial delegations and the rest of the Alderaanian nobility were present she would ensure that her position was made clear and to showcase Kamjin as an example of what Alderaan could be.
Imperial Academy
Kamjin at the Imperial AcademyKamjin entered the Imperial Academy at the age of 14 in 2 BBY. He was placed in the flight program to join the Imperial Navy. His instructors took notice of his skills in a cockpit and placed him in the advanced TIE Fighter training program. While Kamjin operated well within the structure of the Imperial Academy given his upbringing the natural arrogance of nobility and the sarcastic cockiness gained from his Father's Jedi training sessions caused him to run afoul of his fellow cadets.
A group of cadets, led by an upstart outer rim cadet, cornered Kamjin in the locker room after a training flight. The exact details of the altercation weren't published as the holovids malfunctioned. What is known is that several of the pilots spent a week in the infirmary and the outer rim cadet's mind was never the same again. This situation alerted the Inquisitorius to Kamjin's true nature. Due to his mother's political maneuvering during his childhood it was determined that Kamjin could not be taken away to be fully trained as an Inquisitor. Instead, Kamjin was given special instruction weekly to help develop his Force skills along a more consistent Imperial doctrine developed by Emperor Palpatine.
Destruction of Alderaan
During Kamjin's junior year at the Imperial Academy Alderaan was destroyed by Rebel terrorists. Reports were vague from the system given shortly after its destruction the same band of Rebels destroyed the Empire's prototype energy station which was part of the Emperor's Energy Initiative. According to reports, Kamjin's whole family was on Alderaan at the time of its destruction.
Now orphaned, Kamjin dedicated himself to his studies progressing to be near the top of his class in the academy. He graduated in 2 ABY with flight certifications in all the primary TIE series of fighters and the Assault Gunboats. As a secondary certification, Kamjin also scored well with the various fighters flown by the, self-proclaimed, Rebel Alliance. His specialized training had earned him high marks with intelligence gathering and infiltration.
However, given the recent loses aboard the energy prototype, Kamjin was assigned to the Gozanti-class cruiser Iron Warden patrolling in the mid-rim.
Imperial Navy
Moff Torin Nataz Kamjin flew in numerous engagements of no renown over the next couple of years. Pirates, smugglers, criminal cartels, all made for lackluster combatants and Kamjin felt stifled. While the Imperial Senate had been dissolved, Kamjin kept in touch with the network of contacts. Torin Nataz, who had been a naval officer in the Grand Army of the Republic, became a regular correspondent of Kamjin's. Torin, now a Moff in the Mid-Rim, recognized both the talents of the young pilot and the ambition to do what was necessary to succeed in the Imperial Navy.
Torin contacted Admiral Stephan Ronin, the adopted son of Lord Krenn Alvaak, a Corellian noble, and shared Kamjin's Imperial record. Admiral Ronin had been tasked by the Emperor to create a specialized unit to be known as the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet and tasked with taking control of the Minos Cluster. Admiral Ronin was impressed with Kamjin's flight record, and feeling a nudge through the Force, ordered Kamjin reassigned to Delta Squadron aboard the ISD Avenger in 3.5 ABY.
Kamjin was flying a reconnaissance flight with Delta Squadron in the Aurora System in 4 ABY when the Emperor was assassinated by Rebel terrorists. Admiral Ronin addressed the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet that they were ordered by the Emperor to lay claim to the Minos Cluster and that order took priority over all other orders that may arise from the remaining Imperial Forces.
Emperor's Hammer
Delta Squadron
Kamjin continued to serve in Delta Squadron, eventually being promoted to Flight Leader and later Squadron Commander. Kamjin had begun to flourish within the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet with a series of competent leaders fairly judging his merit and no longer burdened by the Imperial Command and the stigma of being Alderaanian.
After his first tour of duty concluded he was approached to take over command of the newly created Green Squadron within the Infiltrator Wing of the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet.
Green Squadron
Kamjin as Green Commander Green Squadron was stationed aboard the MC80b Star Cruiser Fear which regularly conducted raids into Rebel territory, despite its newly minted name of the New Republic. Kamjin was recognized several times earning the Imperial Security Medal (ISM), Palpatine Crescent (PC), and Bronze Star (BS).
Kamjin delighted in the thrill of both flying the repurposed Rebel Alliance starfighters such as the A-wing starfighter and the X-wing starfighter and infiltration operations. Even going so far as to personalized his own astromech droid that he named "Goblin" for its snarky attitude.
His childhood aptitude towards Mind Tricks served him well in the field. It was during this time that he came to the attention of the commander of Praetorian Squadron which was an elite squadron flying for the special operations for the Intelligence Division of the Emperor's Hammer. Known only by his call-sign, Wrath, the commander recruited Kamjin to join Praetorian Squadron.
Praetorian Squadron
Kamjin as Praetorian Seven Kamjin spent the next couple years serving in Praetorian Squadron under the command of Squadron Commander Wrath and Commodore Rear Admiral Brad. It was during the time with Praetorian Squadron that Kamjin took on the call sign "Maverick" as he was considered a maverick to the way Alderaanians thought.
Kamjin developed a fond friendship with his wingman Commander Gibbs who flew Praetorian 6. The two of them would often hit up the town on shore leave. Together they challenged each other to be better pilots, each competing with the other to obtain the highest score rating on their review. Including running the dangerous live fire mine exercise.
When not on operations, Kamjin went through rigorous training in leadership and fleet operations. One of the pillars of Praetorian Squadron was to train pilots to become command officers. As the Emperor's Hammer continued to expand its influence and control of the Minos Cluster the rapid construction of Imperial Star Destroyers required command crews.
Unknown to Kamjin at the time was that Wrath, originally a Acolyte within the Dark Brotherhood, had grown in power to become a Sith Warrior. With that power came ambition. Wrath and another member of the Intelligence Divisions Ubiqtorate named Weicksel had recovered data from the Emperor's private data cores regarding the locations of Mount Tantiss and Byss and that the Emperor had ordered the creation of a group of Force sensitive Royal Guards to be known as the Scholae Palatinae. Following the death of the Emperor the original Scholae Palatinae had been killed protecting the Emperor and answering the calls of lesser Imperials.
Wrath and Weicksel decided it was time to reforge the Scholae Palatinae with Force sensitive members of the Intelligence Division and resume the responsibilities of safeguarding the final secrets of the Emperor.
Dark Jedi Brotherhood
The Founding of House Scholae Palatinae
Wrath Introducing Kamjin to Scholae Palatinae
Kamjin began his training with Wrath on Eos as an Apprentice in the Shadow Academy. Having already been trained by his father he quickly advanced to the rank of Acolyte. Where Kamjin struggled was with embracing the Dark Side. His father had taught him that there was a balance to be had between the Light and the Dark Sides of the Force. Neither should be ignored in favor of the other.
Kamjin and Wrath Combat Training
Wrath did his best to push Kamjin. The training became more rigorous. The two spent days out in the field with no rations. Wrath would attack Kamjin at all hours, without warning, to wear Kamjin down. Wrath pulled on Kamjin's hatred of the terrorists that destroyed his home planet of Alderaan. The injustice of being a noble to no one. The rejection his extended family had amongst the survivors. The years wasted in the Imperial Navy.
In the end, Kamjin did not fully give himself to the Dark Side though he did touch it.
Wrath decided that ambition may be the better path for Kamjin's training and assigned him to take charge of Scholae Palatinae's Guardian Squadron.
Guardian Squadron
Wrath was correct that ambition would be the path to tempt Kamjin. Kamjin excelled as a Squadron Commander and Guardian squadron quickly became a force to be reckoned with. While the Brotherhood focused on maintaining its secrecy it held tournaments to test the skills of its warriors. This led to Kamjin and his squadron being recognized with an Emerald Dagger.
This brought Kamjin to the attention of the Dark Council where Kamjin met and developed a friendship with Grand Master Jac Cotelin. Kamjin began training directly under the Grand Master and dove deeper into the lore of the Brotherhood and the Dark Side. He gained access to Sith Holocrons and the thinking of the Dark Council. More importantly, Kamjin had acquired his Father's lightsaber which had been kept secret on an off-world storage house for the Juranno royal family. Jac granted him a special dispensation to utilize this lightsaber before obtaining the rank of Dark Jedi Knight; a sign of the trust that was established between the two of them.
For the first time Kamjin was able to recognize the political maneuvers that his mother had used. The ability to change the direction of a stream by being the pebble versus being the boulder. Meanwhile, other people were exerting their own influence on the Brotherhood. Wrath and the other members of the Intelligence Division had been busy locating more converts to Scholae Palatinae.
The same was happening across the whole of the Brotherhood and the other Houses were to be restructured into Clans. New opportunities now awaited Kamjin.

The Exodus
In the year 13 ABY Kamjin was serving within the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet's High Court of Inquisitors. As an Inquisitor, and Fleet Admiral, Kamjin was routinely in contact with leaders from the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet and Dark Brotherhood regarding legal matters. During this time, unrest began to spread between the leadership of both the Emperor's Hammer and Dark Brotherhood related to the engagement of the Executive Officer, Astatine. Following the traitorous actions of Zoraan distrust has begun to grow between the Command Staff and the Dark Council with the former on guard to prevent another schism.
As the Executive Officer within the Emperor's Hammer, Astatine was responsible for overseeing all of the various divisions that comprised the Strike Fleet. Typically, this role was one of advisor and consular providing insights into the broader fleet activities and giving guidance on critical matters of state. However, Astatine was also serving as the Deputy Grand Master of the Brotherhood and had become embittered that he had been passed over for the Iron Throne. His resentment that this perceived slight led him to begin issuing rulings over the Dark Brotherhood; exceeding his mandate as Deputy Grand Master and breaking with tradition to attempt to indirectly seize control of the Iron Throne.
Kamjin began to hear rumblings of unrest. Reaching out to his old friend, Trevarus Caerick, he began to hear that a group of leaders and former leaders were beginning to discuss sedition. Kamjin was at first dismissive of the extremist language as Trevarus was prone to pontification. Over time, Astatine's overreach became more intrusive. Instead of overruling and inserting his opinion into rulings he began to actively appoint new members to Dark Council positions.
Kamjin's letter to Ronin and Astatine
Kamjin consulted with Chi-Long, former Grand Master, and Firefox whom Kamjin had remained friendly with following his time as Sith High Warrior and Kamjin's engagement on the Assembly of Consuls. Both shared their concerns and there objective of ensuring a clear alignment of leadership within the Dark Brotherhood. The Brotherhood had historically served alongside the Emperor's Hammer with self-rule and they sought to return to this arrangement.
While these conversations were occurring the Seven were progressing their plans and provided their formal declaration to Grand Admiral Ronin and Astatine. The Strike Fleet erupted in an uproar as lines were drawn. The Dark Brotherhood was interwoven into every aspect of the Strike Fleet, Kamjin's own leader, the High Inquisitor, was Jedgar Octavius Paladin who was sympathetic to the Seven. As individuals began to declare their allegiances Kamjin sought to broker a deal.
Leveraging his long-time friendship with Ronin he submitted an impassioned request on behalf of Chi-Long. Kamjin sought to begin negotiations to bring about a suitable solution. Whereby, additional authority was granted to the Brotherhood and less oversight by the Executive Officer with a more direct line of communication with the Grand Admiral. As Kamjin met with Ronin one-on-one it became clear that a decision had already been reached.
Ronin would not negotiate. With the door closed the Exodus began in earnest. Kamjin, electing to remain loyal to the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet watched bitterly as friends departed into the unknown. For those that remained this became a dark time as Astatine felt this actions justified and further sought to impose his will on Fleet Admiral Rapier, who assumed leadership of the fractured Dark Jedi staying behind with the Emperor's Hammer.
The Return to the New Order
Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz's Return
Records are spotty regarding Kamjin's activity between 28 ABY and 38 ABY. Speculation runs rampant as to why a founding member would return after such a long absence. What is known is that Kamjin has begun to make an impact with the revived Clan and engaging with the newest members. He has taken a formal apprentice for the first time. The Togruta sorcerer Morvyn. During the disaster recovery of the crashed Shadow Academy's Nesolat platform Kamjin relied on Morvyn to continue the arrival and departure of Clan Scholae Palatinae troops while he assisted in the capture of several of the escaped beasts.
Following a successful campaign against The Republic of the Force and the departure of Mauro Wynter, Kamjin was elevated to the position of Proconsul by decree of Shadow Nighthunter.
Physical Description
Appearance
Kamjin's Imperial Officer Uniform
Despite entering middle age, Kamjin continues to appear 10-15 years younger than his actual age. The copper highlights in his otherwise brown hair just starting to turn gray at his temples. This would be more noticeable if he didn't continue to wear his hair in a military short cut, though allowing for a frontal spike of the hair near his slight widows peak. This allows people to view the short scar on the left side rear of his head.
While the years have progressed he maintains a strong physical fitness routine. While he no longer maintains the muscle bulk of his youthful active service days he is still lean and toned. His olive colored eyes squint as someone with advancing eye sight which fits the crows feet around his eyes and his furled brow.
He laughs often and his smile is genuine showing the barest of discoloration from years of drinking stim drinks.
Attire
During the majority of Kamjin's career he maintained the crisp military uniform of the Emperor's Hammer. Upon attaining the rank of Dark Jedi Knight he began to wear his lightsaber with his uniform, in keeping with the uniform code. Upon reaching the rank of Dark Adept he added the cloak of Clan Scholae Palatinae to his uniform. As of late, he's most comfortable in the less formal Negotiator style robes of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood with the Sith colors and his cloak.
He always wears his dual lightsabers in special clips that attach to his hips and thighs to prevent them from moving while he's in motion. His red blade is upon his right hip and his blue blade upon his left.
Lightsabers
Tenjin's Lightsaber
Tenjin Lap'lamiz's Lightsaber
Kamjin originally utilized his father's lightsaber. It followed a fairly standard shrouded design common among the padawan's of the Jedi Temple. Tenjin has bonded with a green kyber crystal giving the blade it's emerald glow. Kamjin brought this saber with him when he joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and used it on occasion, with special permission, before obtaining the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He continued to utilize this blade until his defeat of Archibald Zoraan and the bleeding of the kyber crystal within Zoraan's saber with his spirit.

Kamjin's Lightsabers
Following the battle with Zoraan and his newly gained red kyber crystal and Kamjin's improved saber skills; he created two matching lightsabers. The simplicity of the design allowed for them to be welded interchangeably in either hand without feeling a difference in the hilt. To blend in on covert operations Kamjin utilized a blue kyber crystal allowing him to utilize a single blade and appear as a Jedi Knight and not arise unwanted attention by the New Republic.
