Alone and feeling deceived, Nora set out into the galaxy in search of fellow Sith as well as additional knowledge about the Dark Side. Alaris Jinn, a Twi'lek she met while travelling, became Nora's master and introduced her to the Dark Brotherhood.
Character History
Early Life
Early Years on Zeltros
Nora Olen was born into a vibrant and indulgent society on the planet Zeltros. From a young age, she was immersed in the pleasure-seeking culture that defined her homeworld. The planet's inhabitants reveled in a constant stream of parties, festivals, and social events, where they indulged in every pleasure imaginable. As a Zeltron, Nora inherited unique traits that set her apart from other species. The natural empathic and pheromone-manipulation abilities of her people allowed her to effortlessly read and manipulate the emotions of those around her.
Nora's privileged upbringing was further enhanced by her wealthy parents, who were prominent figures in Zeltros' elite society. They spared no expense in ensuring their daughter was always adorned in the latest fashion, had access to the finest food and drink, and enjoyed the most extravagant entertainment. From an early age, Nora was exposed to opulence and excess, surrounded by a world that seemed to revolve solely around pleasure and self-indulgence.
Curiosity and Secret Studies
Amidst the glitz and glamour of Zeltros, Nora always felt a gnawing sense of emptiness. While her peers reveled in the hedonistic lifestyle, Nora found herself captivated by tales of the Force and the conflicts between the Jedi and the Sith. Visitors from offworld would occasionally share stories of these legendary figures, sparking a flame of curiosity within her.
In the secrecy of her own chambers, Nora began to delve into the study of the Force. She voraciously consumed any information she could find, teaching herself the basics of its principles and techniques. This clandestine pursuit became her hidden passion, a stark contrast to the superficiality of Zeltros' pleasure-seeking culture.
Disillusionment and Craving for Purpose
As Nora matured, the allure of her homeworld's shallow culture started to wane. She grew increasingly disillusioned with the endless cycle of parties and entertainment, yearning for something more substantial. The more she explored the depths of the Force through her self-guided studies, the stronger her yearning for purpose and power became.
Feeling a growing void in her life, Nora embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery. She sought to find a sense of meaning and control that eluded her amidst the hedonism of Zeltros. The stories of the Jedi and Sith became more than mere tales of legend to her—they became a beacon of hope, a path to mastery and fulfillment.
Betrayal and Dark Revelation
Nora's turning point arrived when she stumbled upon a dark secret harbored by her own family. She uncovered her parents' involvement in a scheme to exploit Zeltros' natural resources at the expense of the local population. Shocked and appalled by their callousness and greed, Nora confronted her parents, demanding an explanation for their actions.
In a moment of heart-wrenching revelation, Nora's pleas for justice were met with cold indifference. Her parents, unwilling to relinquish their wealth and influence, disowned her without hesitation. Stripped of her family, her support, and the only life she had ever known, Nora found herself consumed by feelings of betrayal and isolation.
Embracing the Dark Side
With her trust shattered and her heart heavy with resentment, Nora turned to the dark side of the Force as a means of reclaiming control and exacting vengeance. Determined to forge her own path, she left Zeltros behind and embarked on a journey across the galaxy.
Nora sought out Sith and other practitioners of the dark side, eager to expand her knowledge and hone her abilities. Her travels took her to remote and dangerous corners of the galaxy, where she faced trials and tribulations that tested her resolve. The teachings she received from these dark side masters provided her with the power and discipline she craved, but they also enticed her further into the depths of darkness.
Joining the Brotherhood
During Nora's relentless search for power and knowledge, she encountered the enigmatic Sith Master, Alaris Jinn, who would forever change the trajectory of her journey. The fateful meeting took place on the distant and foreboding planet of Korriban, an ancient Sith stronghold where the dark side of the Force permeated every inch of the barren landscape.
Alaris Jinn, a figure shrouded in darkness, recognized Nora's potential as soon as their paths crossed. He was drawn to her fiery determination and unwavering ambition. Sensing the darkness that resided within her, Alaris saw an opportunity to mold her into a formidable warrior capable of carrying out his own dark designs.
Impressed by Nora's natural talent and hunger for power, Alaris extended an invitation for her to join the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, an organization known for its embrace of the dark side and its relentless pursuit of Sith teachings. Intrigued by the prospect of belonging to a group that shared her goals and ambitions, Nora eagerly accepted the offer.
Upon joining the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood, Nora found herself surrounded by like-minded individuals who sought to harness the power of the dark side for their own personal gain. The Brotherhood provided her with a sense of belonging, a community of individuals who understood the depths of her desires and ambitions.
Under the tutelage of Master Alaris Jinn, Nora's ascent through the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood was swift and formidable. Alaris recognized her potential and pushed her to the limits of her abilities, constantly challenging her both physically and mentally. He honed her combat skills, teaching her the intricacies of lightsaber combat and expanding her understanding of the dark side's manipulation of the Force.
Nora's determination and fierce dedication to her training propelled her to the forefront of the Dark Brotherhood. She quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with, both feared and respected by her peers. Her natural talent combined with Alaris' guidance allowed her to overcome countless trials and adversaries, cementing her reputation as a formidable warrior within the Brotherhood.
With each successful mission and display of her power, Nora's hunger for greater strength and recognition grew. The Dark Brotherhood became her sanctuary, a place where she could embrace her darkest impulses and feed her insatiable thirst for power. As her skills sharpened and her connection to the dark side deepened, Nora's transformation into a fearsome opponent became undeniable.
Joined by a shared thirst for dominance and a commitment to the ideals of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, Nora Olen became an indispensable asset to the organization. She would go on to play a significant role in the Brotherhood's grand schemes and secret machinations, embodying the very essence of their relentless pursuit of power and control.

At first, Nora was thrilled to be learning from such a skilled and experienced Master.
