- "Revenge is so sweet."
- ―RevengeX Palpatine
RevengeX Palpatine, sometimes called Rev, RevX, Prescriptions (a nickname given by a particular Trandoshan), or Revvy (a nickname inspired by Thran Occasus who calls himself Thranny in Jedi Outcast), is a former Wiki Tribune and one of the few Children of Palpatine. He currently holds the rank of Krath Pontifex. Despite Krath stereotypes, he formerly held the position of Blade Master within Scholae Palatinae's Consul's Coven and has proven why he held that title to numerous bigots.
Character History
Childhood and Early Life
Before the Galactic Empire, in the year 53 BBY, RevengeX was born Matle Lecha on the planet Coruscant.
Rest for the Weary
Coruscant's Undercity
The Dark Brotherhood
The Beginning of a Journey
19 - 21 ABY
In 19 ABY, RevengeX joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Scholae Palatinae as it was in turmoil. Being a new Dark Jedi, Revenge was confused at the chaos and battle around him. His Clan fought valiantly, but the new Apprentice did not, his fear grabbing a hold of him as he often regretted about joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood at night during the duration of the Third Sith War.
Once the war had ended, he was able to figure things out faster compared to before, since there was no chaos of battle flowing around him. Revenge progressed through the Journeyman ranks slowly compared to most of his peers.
Two years after he had joined, a destructive disease threatened the Brotherhood and the causes of this epidemic remained unknown for a time. Mysterious Dark Jedi Master Kem-Shu Maeda, joined Scholae Palatinae, and heeding the warnings of the Consul, Vail Aquillarum Unteminar, no member interacted with the suspicious figure. At the time of the epidemic, RevengeX was still a young Journeyman and did not yet fully understand the intricacies and politics of the Brotherhood, so he took a sideline role.
Sabers, Roll, and Families
Vail Aquillarum Unteminar, Consul of Scholae Palatinae
22 - 25 ABY
- "Through his actions, RevengeX has proven himself to be a worthy member of the Brotherhood, and has shown his capability to face any challenge placed in his path. By surviving through the Trials, he has demonstrated ability and skills of a true Dark Jedi Knight."
- ―Vail Aquillarum Unteminar
RevengeX earned the right to wear a lightsaber after completing his Dark Jedi Trials set before him by his master, Vail Aquillarum Unteminar, his Tetrarch, Rhaub D'ar Aghasett Palpatine, who would serve as Revenge's Aedile years later, and his Quaestor, Kschamehellan. RevengeX finally attained the rank of Dark Jedi Knight after approximately three years of training as a Dark Jedi.
About sixth months later, during a Clan-wide mission, Quaestor Kschamehellan saw that the House Summit needed to be rearranged and thus appointed RevengeX as Rollmaster. The Knight mulled over the idea in his head for a few days and eventually submitted to the various persuasion from several parties. After three days, he was elevated to the rank of Krath Priest along with his friend, and "rival," Issard Jokaat.
Under the guidance of Consul Timbal, Scholae Palatinae helped the Brotherhood, and then-Obelisk High Commander Korras, invade Coratua in 23 ABY. Although Scholae Palatinae did not place in the top three, it was a major eye-opener to see that the Clan had very few combat specialists. RevengeX, who was one of the Clan's top players, focused the next few years on combat training, believing that the body was just as important as the mind.
The Palpatine family, often called the Royal Family in honor of Darth Sidious, occasionally met together and nominated a Clan member for induction into the family. In 25 ABY, the Palpatines, in conjunction with the Clan Summit, extended the invitation to join their family to RevengeX and he accepted with great gratitude and excitement. He, alongside his former Master, joined the Palpatines in their journey for domination, influence and power.
Unrest and Ascension
25 ABY
- "It is my hope that Krath Archpriest RevengeX Palpatine will find the responsibility and enjoyment of QUA to his liking. And become a cornerstone of Clan Scholae Palatinae's foundation for many moons to come."
- ―Braecen Kunar, Proconsul
The Seventh Great Jedi War brought a flurry of strange events, including two Jac Cotelins. The two Jacs waged war against one another, each claiming to be the real Dark Lord of the Sith, the true ruler of the Iron Throne. When each Jac demanded that Consuls take sides, Consul Dakari made the decision to ally the Clan with Clans Taldryan, its rival Arcona, and the "blue" Jac against the combined forces of Clans Plagueis, Naga Sadow, Tarentum and the "red" Jac.
Cyris Oscura, Herald Emeritus, held the position of Quaestor for two weeks
Near the end of, and following, the Great Jedi War, a period of unrest settled over Acclivis Draco. This period would later be known as the Dragon's Curse: a time of great disturbance in the Clan. Following Mune Metsukai Isradia's resignation, Acclivis Draco began to deteriorate. Braecen Kunar was appointed his successor, but Braecen was appointed to succeed Brujah Tamalar as Proconsul. Former Consul Saitou was named Braecen's successor, but he left the post in a few days and self-exiled himself from the Clan and the Palpatine family. This time, former Herald Cyris Oscura was appointed Quaestor, but within a few days, he also quit the position and left the Brotherhood entirely.
The Clan Summit and the House members were in turmoil. There was no direct leadership in the House, even though Aedile Rasilvenaira StormRaven tried her best to keep things in order. Riot and civil war threatened the House, and members old and new were unsatisfied with the way things were being handled. The Clan Summit was desperate for order in the House. After a few lengthy discussions, they appointed RevengeX to the position of Quaestor.
- "Rejoice my fellow Dark Jedi, for an age of prosperity shall envelop our House!"
- ―RevengeX Palpatine, immediately after being appointed
Contests of Dominance
26 ABY
- Impetus: "They risk open war by holding them against their will..."
- Phoenix: "Of course they risk open war. You have given them an opening for what their hearts have desired since the Caliburnus versus Dorimad Sol feud."
- ―Impetus and Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine speaking after the failed kidnap attempt of Rasilvenaira StormRaven
The Festival of the Fox was celebrated by Clan Scholae Palatinae with an enormous celebration that had games, contests and even a combat tournament. The Festival would be the beginning of a fight for Clan dominance between the two Houses Acclivis Draco and Caliburnus. Acclivis Draco had been considered the undisputed champion of Scholae Palatinae for several years, but Caliburnus, after defeating Dorimad Sol in battle, was ambitious enough to challenge the might of the Dragon. And with a leader like Impetus, it was possible that victory would be granted to them.
Impetus, then-Quaestor of Caliburnus, dared to challenge the might of Acclivis Draco
Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine, Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae
But, Acclivis Draco would never back down to a foe as formidable as their sibling. Caliburnus invaded Antenora with all of their military might. Acclivis Draco defended Antenora and the battle was even on both sides until a distress call from the Excidium told them to stop and provide aid. The two Houses instantly called their troops to order and flew to Judecca as a combined force. Their conflict was over, but another was beginning to unfold under the veil of Brotherhood intrigue.
Soon, Scholae Palatinae Proconsul Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine waged war against Clan Arcona. Many speculate that this was a personal feud between him and Arconan Proconsul Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana Arconae, but that has yet to be proven with actual evidence. When Scholae Palatinae suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of Arcona, they had little time to recover.
The first annual Cocytus Olympiads, affectionately called the Summer Games, hosted on the planet Judecca, a competition open to all members of Clan Scholae Palatinae, began. The main purpose of the competition was to determine three Olympians of the Clan. Shortly after the conclusion of the Olympiads, House Acclivis Draco embarked on its own endeavor.
The members of Acclivis Draco journeyed down into the dungeon levels of the Dragon's Citadel when a map of the maze-like levels was discovered. Master Natth a'Niel Palpatine led the Dark Jedi down into the darkness where they encountered ferocious beasts, a network of catwalks, a recording holding a cryptic message, an eerie song, a group of hungry Drakonids, and a strange canyon that contains flora unlike any they have seen before. Throughout this adventure, Arion Aquillarum Sunrider and Impetus proved themselves worthy of the title "Hero of the Dragon" by braving the dangers and leading the rest of the House members.
The Clans were summoned, by order of the Iron Throne, to Star System MDMP502101 near the Shroud. The competition between the Clans is known as the Second Darkness. The Dark Council purposely left the Clans to dispute on who was the best Clan of the Brotherhood and to compete for Supremacy and influence. Fueled by indignation from their recent defeat, Scholae Palatinae began with a powerful start. The Royal Clan ended in second place and showed how much the Clan had improved since the Seventh Great Jedi War.
Grappling with the Unknown
27 ABY
- "During this time his leadership and dedication provided his members with inspiration and a desire to do great things. Congratulations RevengeX."
- ―Grand Master Sarin
Sarin, the third Grand Master since the ExodusDuring the celebration after the contest, a surprised RevengeX was elevated to the rank of Krath Epis for his efforts as both a leader and member for the past several months. It is even rumored that someone saw a tear run down Revenge's cheek as some of his Clan-mates, as well as Grand Master Sarin, backup the promotion with eloquence. RevengeX has vehemently denied such a rumor.
Unfortunately, the celebration was cut short and creatures - later identified as Yuuzhan Vong - began an invasion of the galaxy. Soon, Coruscant, along with many other planets, had fallen to these ruthless, extragalactic invaders. A nearby portion of this massive fleet took a side route and began an attack on Antei and the nearby Cocytus System. On the second day of the invasion, RevengeX was captured by a group of Vong and forced into the Embrace of Pain, until he was rescued by his Clan-mates.
Eager to help the Brotherhood retaliate, Revenge led Scholae Palatinae's efforts, until the Vong succeeded in capturing Antei, and Sarin ordered a full retreat of Brotherhood forces. Soon thereafter, Sarin named the three "Champions" of the War: Shadow Taldrya, Sharad Taldrya Hett, and RevengeX Palpatine as First, Second, and Third Champion, successively. Astonished, RevengeX was, along with many outstanding members of the Brotherhood, given a prestigious award: the Sapphire Blade.
Also around this time, RevengeX was approached by the Wiki Tribune, Vladek, and requested that he be on the Wiki Staff. RevengeX denied the request at first, but months later, he reconsidered and was accepted onto the Staff. He had yet to realize that his work as one of the Brotherhood's librarians would flourish into a love that would land him the Tribune position.
With the Brotherhood in full retreat, in accordance with the Braata Option, Scholae Palatinae deemed reclaiming the Cocytus System the top priority. Leading Acclivis Draco under a new Clan Summit - Consul Phoenix Olkyssagh Palpatine and Proconsul Lucien - RevengeX drove away the Vong from Antenora. After a thorough body count, RevengeX was named the Second Redeemer of the Cocytus System for having killed the second most Yuuzhan Vong.
Greater Involvement
28 - 30 ABY
- Timbal: "What do you want, ugly?"
- RevengeX: "Time for round two, Timbal."
- ―RevengeX announces his resignation to his sixth Aedile.
The Fiction Staff was dissolved soon after Raken was appointed to the post of Fiction Tribune. Feeling that this was not much of a loss, RevengeX was later approached by the Seneschal, Xia Long, and appointed as a Magistrate to her staff. His involvement in the development of the Brotherhood's networks was fairly limited due to his relative inexperience, but he soon found another niche when he was approached by the newly appointed Combat Master, Sharad Taldrya Hett, who requested that RevengeX join the Antei Combat Center staff. He became a Judge, even though he had been fired from the post of ACCLive! Judge several years earlier.
Days after the anniversary of the Exodus, in celebration of holding the office of Quaestor for over three years, he was promoted to the rank of Krath Pontifex. Fortunately, the ceremony was not attacked.
Soon after this elevation, he was appointed to Wiki Tribune at the bequest of his predecessor Astronicus Aurelius Sadow, who would also later succeed him. RevengeX had his doubts about this position because he felt that his greater involvement in a multitude of positions was diminishing the time that he normally used to admire himself in a mirror. Nevertheless, the Wiki continued to flourish and expand marvelously throughout his term.
After he was appointed Wiki Tribune, he realized that this could be a new drive for him, so, after much thought, he resigned from Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco, a position which he had held for almost four years. A few months after this, he officially resigned from his position of Magistrate to the Seneschal.
A year passed from when he had become a Tribune. He was awarded a Ruby Scepter for his work, a gift that surprised and excited him. The Krath smacked many people with it when they did not adhere to the regulations of the Brotherhood's library; therefore, he became known as a cruel and ruthless tyrant. However, as all things do, his stint as Tribune came to a glorious end, and it is said that parties in all of the Clans, including his own, sprung up from this announcement. At the same time, he also resigned from his post as Judge of the Combat Center, after almost two years of excellent service.
Personality and Possessions
RevengeX's third lightsaber (created Sep. 2006 by Muz)
Personality
RevengeX is an interesting character in that he can often pass as "normal," but occasionally, he loses all cognitive functions and becomes a mindless, determined beast fixed on destroying everything in his immediate vicinity. The first recorded time this happened was when he participated in a rebellion against a powerful capital ship manufacturer's president. The details of this event are scant and Revenge doesn't remember anything about participating in a rebellion.
The most recent time this transformation occurred was during a training mission when RevengeX, a Jedi Hunter, was captured by Imperial Remnant troops and tortured, because he insisted that he was not a New Republic spy, in an uninhabited region of Dantooine. The interrogators eventually got bored of their newest toy and prepared to kill him by dropping him out of a ship miles above the ground. Wearing grins, the officers were about to push him out when a sudden surge of adrenaline, perhaps out of fear, entered his body and he killed the officers and troops on board the ship. The Jedi Hunter stole the ship, a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle, and piloted it back to Judecca. Revenge does not remember the details of the events and insists that he has never been inside a Lambda-class shuttle.
He is almost always calm, and although he may be smiling and looking like he does not have a care in the galaxy, his concentration is nearly unparalleled. Revenge believes that he indirectly received this trait from his former Master, Vail, who is known for a calm, relaxed, yet extremely focused, nature.
However, it is known that when RevengeX gets mad... he goes insane.
- "Foo'! Who you think you talking to? I'm RevengeX Palpatine and no little kid talks smack about me unless they want to be castrated!"
- ―RevengeX Palpatine to Malidir d'Tana, Quaestor of House Galeres
A few members of the Brotherhood consider RevengeX as an "enemy." Revenge, believing that they are not worth his time, scoffs at these attention-seeking grubs and simply ignores them. Only one or two coleos habent to actually be outspoken about their hatred for RevengeX, but they are usually found hiding in dark corners, muttering obscenities and ridiculous insults, the next day.
Impediments
Revenge's only weakness is bugs, insects or arachnids of any kind. His fear of bugs and other slimy, ugly creatures has made him humorous to his fellow Dark Jedi. When he sees any of these creatures, he immediately freezes up and cowers in fear, no matter what the size of it is. Even if it is the mere size of his thumb, he will stop instantly and move as far back away from it as possible. Revenge's fear of bugs come from a horrible and traumatic memory from his unknown past, that he does not share with others, but meditates on by himself.
Allergies
Revenge's allergy of the Massassi trees located on Yavin IV was discovered when he went there on a training mission to explore the ruins of the once great Massassi temples built millennia ago by the mutated Massassi, creatures that Exar Kun had twisted with his dark powers. As he nears one of the trees, he breaks out in a rash and develops an itchy tongue that makes it difficult for him to talk, thus making people unable to understand what is making him unable to speak clearly.
RevengeX's fourth lightsaber (created Jun. 2008)
Possessions
Lightsaber
RevengeX has had four lightsabers over the course of his career as a Dark Jedi.
Revenge's first saber was destroyed during a duel. RevengeX would not release any details about the duel besides the fact that his saber was destroyed.
His second lightsaber was lost in Kilgore Ridge on Antenora when he had to retake Drynwyn's Tower as the new Tetrarch of Drynwyn's Flame. Natives had infested the tower after it was abandoned and Revenge, with the other Battleteam members, had to "clean." It is believed that he lost his saber somewhere in the basement of the Tower after making a close escape from a troop of scavengers.
His third lightsaber was nicknamed the "Dragon's Elegance" because of the beautiful curves in the hilt. It was retired after several years of service to him, and it currently serves as a backup in case anything happens to his current lightsaber.
Like his second and third, his fourth is mainly colored purple in tribute to the Krath Order and the predominantly Krath House, Acclivis Draco.
Combat Mask
Used during formal duels, this mask is one piece of light, polished Titanium with two ropes of Leatheris that are used to hold the mask in place. Two eye holes, two nostril holes, and a slit for the mouth are the only decoration.

Students
RevengeX took his first student as an Krath Archpriest. He was offered different students many times, but refused, believing that he was not the best teacher available. However, Revenge eventually changed his mind and he signed-up for the Master-Student Program, hoping that he would be paired with an intelligent Journeyman.
