- "I have stitched flesh and fate alike. One heals, the other festers."
- ―Qor to Emperor Xen'Mordin
Lexiconus Qor is a Quarren Sith and a longstanding member of Scholae Palatinae.
Early Life
Born Nosolar Qor in 1 ABY, on the aquatic world of Dac, Lexiconus hailed from a small, isolated reef village in the tropical shallows. His people worshipped both the light and dark aspects of the Force, referred to locally as the "Shallows" and the "Deep." His mother, Sek Vulux, was a retired Sith shaman, and his father, Glit Qor, a spear hunter. When the First Order emerged from the shadows of the fallen Empire, Glit was conscripted, and Nosolar’s life changed forever.
At the age of six, Nosolar was rescued by New Republic relief forces and placed on the MC80 Home One, a refugee and educational colony ship. There he was given a formal education, excelling in xenobiology, advanced chemistry, and holistic medicine. Stories recall Nosolar wandering through sterile labs and jungle-like greenhouses, curious and determined.
Medical Service
After three decades on Home One, Nosolar disembarked in the Kuat system, working under the First Order’s secret Star Destroyer shipyards. He became known as a battlefield medic and trauma surgeon, often developing unconventional antidotes and organ regeneration therapies. Despite the shadow of the First Order, Nosolar remained neutral, holding to a personal code.
Recruitment to the Brotherhood
Nosolar Qor’s path to the Brotherhood was not forged through ambition, but chance. While stationed as a trauma doctor on a First Order medical outpost near the Tingel Arm, his life was upended during a covert assault by Arconan operatives. The attack was swift and silent—its purpose unknown to Qor, who focused solely on preserving life amidst the chaos.
Among the strike team was Nikola Valtiere, an agent of Arcona and Force-sensitive operative. During the raid, Valtiere experienced a ripple in the Force—an untrained surge, raw and unrefined, emanating from within the base. Following the disturbance, he discovered Qor administering treatment in the surgical wing, shrouded in a strange, swirling cloud of black ink. It wasn’t just camouflage—it moved unnaturally, resonating with the dark side.
Sensing untapped potential, Nikola chose not to execute the doctor but instead extracted him. Qor, unaware of his latent Force sensitivity, found himself a guest—then a student—of the Brotherhood. He was given a choice: return to the ashes of a fractured regime, or embrace his gifts and shape his own legacy. He chose the latter, taking on the name Lexiconus and becoming Nikola’s formal apprentice.
Training
When Qor was first recruited into the Dark Brotherhood by Nikola Valtiere, he held little interest in military matters or piloting, a stark contrast to his master’s own martial and aerial expertise. Qor viewed personal transport as a liability, believing that flying directly to a location only exposed one's movements and intentions. Instead, he favored more inconspicuous methods — public transport, cargo holds, and passenger liners, preferring to arrive quietly and unannounced.
His Sith training began on the fringes of the Brotherhood’s influence, where he studied the philosophies of self-control and subtle manipulation rather than domination and brute force. Under Nikola's direction, Qor developed an early understanding of the Force techniques that would become his hallmark: Force Cloak, Control Self, and Amplification. He excelled in control-based disciplines, often using the Force to enhance his precision during medical operations and infiltrations alike.
While his peers pursued saber forms and public displays of power, Qor honed his mind and sharpened his will. He treated the Force as both a scalpel and a veil — something to enhance efficiency, not ego. His skill with alchemical poisons and minor enchantments grew through independent study, often experimenting with medical compounds to create controlled toxins and healing solutions.
His knighting ceremony was unorthodox. Instead of a grand duel or display of power, it came after a classified mission — one still sealed in Brotherhood archives — where Qor demonstrated his mastery of infiltration, discretion, and manipulation. Upon returning, he was quietly Knighted by Nikola, marking the official recognition of his place among the Sith — not as a warrior, but as a shadow, scholar, and surgeon.
Rise in Scholae Palatinae
Lexiconus transferred to Clan Scholae Palatinae, where he served as Aedile of House Imperium. His work ranged from battlefield support to tracking down rogue Sith relics. Later, he became Quaestor and trained both Kyo Akumu and Aura Ta'var, each taking different paths: one to power, the other to redemption.
Disappearance
In the aftermath of his tenure as Quaestor of House Imperium, Qor vanished without warning. No message. No trail. One day he was seen boarding his personal vessel, the Bloodwake, and then — nothing. The Brotherhood marked him missing in action, presumed dead. But the truth was far more deliberate.
Qor had uncovered fragments of a long-buried Sith archive hidden deep beneath the oceans of Dac, his ancestral homeworld. Legends spoke of ancient Quarren Sith Lords — flesh-sculptors, poisoners, and alchemical savants — whose techniques were lost beneath coral and time. For Qor, this was not mere curiosity; it was legacy.
Driven by the need to elevate his knowledge beyond what the Brotherhood permitted, Qor entered self-imposed exile. He spent years underwater in a self-sustaining research habitat, isolating himself from the galaxy to study Sith alchemy, regenerative biology, and experimental Force applications. Using the Bloodwake's surgical bay as a mobile laboratory, he conducted unsanctioned procedures, engineered toxins, and fused forgotten rituals with modern science.
In time, Qor’s body and mind adapted to the solitude. His Force Cloak reached new levels of subtlety, and his mastery over self-control bordered on the unnatural. Though he made no effort to contact the Brotherhood, whispers of a 'ghost doctor' performing miraculous — and monstrous — procedures in the Outer Rim began to surface. Some believed him a myth. Others, a warning.
His return was not announced — it was felt. Subtle shifts in the Force. Unexplained relics. A single, encrypted message sent to Xen'Mordin: "The scalpel has returned."
Return and Rejoining the Brotherhood
After years of absence, Qor’s return to the Dark Brotherhood was marked by a sense of disillusionment. Despite having sent numerous communications to Emperor Xen'Mordin during his time of isolation, he received no response — the Emperor’s silence reinforcing Qor's growing doubts about the Brotherhood’s leadership and direction. The long stretch of time away from the Brotherhood had led Qor to explore forgotten Sith archives and deepen his personal understanding of the ancient dark side powers, but the lack of guidance from the Emperor left him with an unresolved void.
Feeling that his purpose had been lost in the static of imperial politics, Qor re-entered the Brotherhood’s fold under new leadership. He chose to join House Acclivis Draco, led by the ambitious Quaestor and Governor Hugo Siphaar, whose loyalty now lay with the newly crowned Empress Rayne. Rayne’s rise to power stirred something within Qor, as her vision of the Brotherhood seemed to promise a future where knowledge and discipline could be honored once again.
Under Hugo's steady hand, House Acclivis Draco offered Qor the stability he had long sought, and the House's respect for the subtler arts of the Sith aligned well with his own values. Empress Rayne, though enigmatic, presented an idealistic shift from the old ways, which resonated with Qor’s increasingly cautious approach to power. In this new chapter, Qor’s return was not one of fanfare or grand gestures, but rather a quiet recalibration of his place in the universe — both as a servant of the dark side and a practitioner of its most intricate secrets.
Personality & Philosophy
Qor is an intellectual Sith — patient, clinical, and deeply analytical. Unlike more impassioned practitioners of the Dark Side, he does not rant or rave; he dissects. He is calm in conversation, surgical in combat, and cold in his judgments. Years of medical training have sharpened his understanding of both anatomy and psychology, giving him a predator’s insight into pain, fear, and mortality.
He views the Dark Side not as chaos, but as a refined tool for those disciplined enough to wield it. In his philosophy, the Sith Code is a scientific principle: through passion comes focus, through strength comes precision, and through victory comes evolution. Emotions are fuel — not wildfires, but controlled burns. This philosophy informs everything from his surgical procedures to his combat tactics.
Qor respects knowledge over instinct, and often chooses silence over unnecessary words. He prefers manipulation to brute force, and sees death as a solution only when it serves a higher purpose. Despite his cold demeanor, he is not without ambition or belief — he is devoted to progress, legacy, and the perfection of the self through pain, knowledge, and control.
His surgical background makes him methodical in all things. Every action is calculated, every outcome considered. When he strikes, it is with the certainty of a scalpel — never wasted, never accidental.
Physical Appearance
Qor has a compact form, with a simply-elegant stance. His tough, leathery skin has the honey hue of a spring dawn. Speckled with sun damage, scars, and various bruises. His bald cranium dons a duplex of thick, slithering tentacles. A pair of ivory tusks crookedly support his jaw. Qor has eyes of vivid and oval complexion, cobalt constellations dance around the singularity of his pupils. Qor's torso is sculpted by his pectorals muscles, and stacked in parallel to abdominal ridges. His thighs and calves are layered with fillets of muscle, while his arms and forearms are built with canyons of muscle fibers, rivered with veins.
Skills and Abilities
Force Powers
Qor is an Adept-level Force practitioner who specializes in stealth, internal control, and enhancement. While not a battlefield powerhouse, his command of subtlety and precision makes him a formidable opponent in controlled or surgical confrontations.
- Force Cloak: Qor can render himself nearly invisible to both sight and Force detection for a short duration. Adept-level control allows him to maintain the cloak with minimal effort while repositioning or observing.
- Control Self: Through intense mental discipline and biological understanding, Qor can suppress pain, slow bleeding, and remain conscious through serious injury. He can also regulate body temperature and respiration in extreme environments.
- Amplification: Qor can enhance his physical traits — speed, strength, and reflexes — to levels comparable with elite warriors. His precise timing allows for sudden bursts of overwhelming power, though he prefers restraint and efficiency over brute strength.
Combat Style
Though trained in multiple forms, Qor does not wield a lightsaber. Instead, he carries a single dagger forged through Sith Alchemy, which he uses with deceptive speed and anatomical precision.
- Alchemical Dagger: A curved, obsidian-black blade laced with Sith runes. Resistant to lightsabers and imbued to amplify pain on contact.
- Poison (Neurotoxin): The dagger is coated in a rare Sith-concocted neurotoxin that disrupts motor control and causes intense hallucinations if it enters the bloodstream.
- Medical Knowledge: As a trained surgeon, Qor is well-versed in humanoid and alien anatomy, which he uses for both healing and lethal strikes.
Equipment
- Medpac: Contains bacta patches, painkillers, surgical tools, and a micro-injector.
- Vial of Sith Poison: A spare dose of the neurotoxin used to coat his blade or for interrogation.
- Holocron: A dodecagonal Sith holocron containing a curated selection of alchemical research, historical dark side texts, and philosophical treatises from ancient Sith Lords. The holocron requires concentration and Force sensitivity to unlock.
Legacy
Though Lexiconus Qor vanished, his legacy persists in the records of Scholae Palatinae and through his apprentices. His philosophies on Force alchemy and hybrid medical techniques remain controversial—and brilliant.
Writing Qor: Character Breakdown
Combat
In combat, Qor is a calculated and methodical fighter, preferring to avoid direct confrontation unless absolutely necessary. He uses his environment to his advantage, striking from the shadows or using the Force to evade attacks before delivering a lethal blow. When engaged in combat, Qor utilizes his skill with Sith alchemy-treated daggers, often coating them with poison to deliver swift and painful strikes. His Force Cloak ability allows him to remain hidden and undetected, making him a master of stealth-based combat.
His style emphasizes evasion over brute strength, and his Control Self ability allows him to push through pain, injuries, and fatigue. He is not a brute-force fighter like some Sith, but more of a strategist who plays the long game, studying his opponents and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He will often use psychological warfare to break the resolve of his enemies before engaging them directly.
Key Points for Combat Writing:
- Focus on stealth, misdirection, and the use of the environment.
- Avoid direct conflict unless it’s unavoidable or advantageous.
- Use poison or Sith alchemy-treated weapons for subtle, deadly attacks.
- Use the Force Cloak and Control Self to enhance survivability and maintain control over his body.
- Engage in psychological manipulation if possible to break the enemy’s will before striking.
Social Events
Social events present a different challenge for Qor. He does not engage in casual conversation, preferring to stay in the background and observe rather than interact. He is highly aware of the power dynamics in the room and will only speak when necessary. His words are calculated and precise, with the aim of furthering his personal interests or influencing others subtly without revealing his full intentions. While he is not openly charismatic, he exudes an air of quiet authority, gained through years of training and experience in the Dark Brotherhood.
When attending social events, he will often play the role of the reserved intellectual, offering cryptic comments or subtle insights into topics, without ever fully committing to a stance. His ultimate goal is always to further his own agenda or the goals of his current allegiance (e.g., House Acclivis Draco, Empress Rayne). He is not above playing political games if it serves his purpose.
Key Points for Social Writing:
- Focus on Qor as a quiet observer, only speaking when it advances his agenda.
- Use cryptic or indirect dialogue that leaves others guessing his true thoughts.
- Be aware of power dynamics and how he can subtly manipulate situations without direct confrontation.
- Show his disdain for small talk, preferring intellectual or dark-side topics when he does engage.
Stealth & Espionage
Stealth is one of Qor's greatest strengths. Whether on a mission for the Brotherhood or simply maneuvering through enemy territory, Qor relies heavily on Force Cloak to remain unseen. He is a master of blending into the background, using the shadows and his surroundings to his advantage. He has an innate understanding of how to infiltrate spaces unnoticed and can work in silence for long periods.
His training as a surgeon also adds to his ability to understand anatomy and weaknesses in the body, allowing him to incapacitate targets with surgical precision. He does not kill unnecessarily, preferring to leave his enemies alive for the moment, but will not hesitate to deal the final blow if the situation calls for it.
Key Points for Stealth Writing:
- Emphasize Qor’s use of Force Cloak to remain undetected.
- Show his patience and attention to detail, moving silently and strategically.
- Highlight his surgical precision when taking out targets, especially when it comes to incapacitating them without leaving a trace.
- He values the slow, methodical approach of espionage over reckless action.
Leadership & Command
While Qor is not the typical front-line leader, he can be highly authoritative when needed. His command style is more about strategic guidance and influence rather than direct leadership. As a Sith Battlelord and leader within House Acclivis Draco, he expects those under his command to carry out their duties with discipline and efficiency. He will rarely offer emotional speeches or rally cries, instead speaking with authority and a calm confidence that demands respect.
In positions of power, Qor excels at creating an environment where his subordinates understand that every move they make is part of a greater plan, though few will ever understand the full scope of his intentions. He leads through calculated decisions and expects those who follow him to be as methodical and intelligent as he is.
Key Points for Leadership Writing:
- Show Qor as calm, strategic, and measured in his leadership style.
- Use his authoritative voice to issue orders that are followed without question.
- Emphasize that he leads through intellect and careful planning, not brute force or emotional outbursts.
- His subordinates may not fully understand his plans, but they respect his intellect and the results he achieves.
Philosophical and Personal Views
Qor’s philosophy is deeply rooted in Sith teachings but tempered by his advanced education and experience. He believes in the Rule of Two and the concept of self-improvement through struggle, but also recognizes that knowledge and control of the body are equally important in achieving power. His approach to the Dark Side is methodical and intellectual, focused on long-term goals rather than immediate gratification.
His advanced medical training as a surgeon influences how he views the body as a tool for gaining power and control. Qor believes in using the body as a vessel for achieving greater things, whether through alchemical enhancement, surgical alteration, or simply pushing the body’s limits with the Force. He is not concerned with the petty struggles of the Sith and often focuses on internal growth and the refinement of his personal abilities.
Key Points for Writing Qor's Philosophy:
- Focus on his belief in the Rule of Two and the need for control over the self.
- Show his intellectual approach to the Dark Side, using the Sith teachings as a framework for personal development.
- Highlight his medical background and how it influences his view of the body and Sith power.
- Avoid portraying Qor as impulsive or overly driven by emotion. He is calm, calculating, and focused on self-improvement.
