Career of a Legend: The Beginning
Sephiroth Shamshan Kali
Upon Sephiroth's second entry into the Brotherhood, he took the name of Sephiroth Storm. He was greeted by his House Envoy, then Dark Jedi Knight Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir. He became the Dark Knight's Apprentice. Under Ma'ar's tutelage, Sephiroth created and led the Battleteam Prophets, serving twice as Tetrarch.
Upon Ma'ar's sudden transfer to Acrona, Sephiroth drifted alone in the void until he came upon Former Headmaster, Dark Jedi Master Anshar Kahn Tarentae. Anshar saw the raw potential of the man and took him as his Apprentice, and training him to Knighthood. They remain close friends and allies.
Around 25 ABY, Sephiroth Kali felt compelled to give back to the Brotherhood which had given him so much to him. He again petitioned the Summit to allow him to serve, this time as a full House Envoy. His wish was granted and he became Envoy of House Tridens, and shortly thereafter, the Rollmaster of Tridens. He served off and on until 27 ABY, When he was promoted to Knight First Class Envoy, and became the Clan Envoy for Clan Tarentum. He was one of the last people to hold the position, and at the time of the Society's dissolution, was the only active KFCE in the Brotherhood.
A Vision of the Future?
After recent travels throughout the Galaxy, Sephiroth returned to Clan Tarentum and has been seen scouring Brotherhood locations for knowledge. In 29 ABY Sephiroth was reported UA from Castle Tarentum. Sources reported seeing a figure being dragged out of the Krath's quarters. He returned months later, quietly re-inserting himself within the Clan's social structure. It is generally believed that he has been initiated into the sect of Necromancers known as the Watchers. While Kali refuses to speak on the matter, His desire for knowledge does not leave for much doubt. It was also reported that the secretive Krath sought out the enigmatic and dangerous Shan-Long, seeking the secrets of the Wanderer. Rumors leaked out of the Clan saying that the Krath often stalked the halls in Tarentum's castle, muttering about the Chronicle of Dark Souls, and the Marked of the Wanderer.
In 30 ABY Sephiroth took Protector Zama of House Tridens as his Apprentice. Later, during the Ninth Great Jedi War, Protector Zama disappeared from the battlefield, betraying the Clan. Sephiroth later returned, bringing a gift to the Consul, Zama's head on a platter. Soon after Kali left again, and returned to the Brotherhood, this time to the House of the Light Jedi, House Odan-Urr, with Kali'Ray in tow.
Physical description
Sephiroth is tall and intimidating to most he meets. Long silver hair and intense golden eyes that seek the souls of his enemies. His eyes may give off a reddish glow when he delves deep within his reservoirs of power.
While Nightsisters' were known to have yellowed eyes, supposedly from heavy use of the Dark Side of the Force, Sephiroth apparently was born with golden eyes, as was his mother Kali' Ray, whether this was a birth defect or a touch of the dark side is unknown.
Loyalty
Sephiroth is very devout when it comes to his Order, to which he takes a religious view in his studies. Sephiroth delves very deeply into histories and the nature of the dark side, and has a close relationship with his mother Kali'Ray.
Possessions
Sephiroth has several possessions which are very important to him.
Kali's Lightsaber
- Lightsaber- Sephiroth owns a curved hilt duelist saber. Inside the casing lay two crystals both corrupted by intense use of the Dark Side of the Force, a Nextor and a Sigil Crystal. Kali currently fights using the Makashi, and Soresu saber styles. He has obtained the fith level of Makashi, next he intends to master Vapaad, then Shien. Either way it is best to avoid the wrath of the Krath Priest when he draws his blade.
The Chronicle of Dark Souls
- The Chronicle of Dark Souls is a text divided into three volumes, the Book of Memories, the Book of Wisdom, and the Book of Twilight. The texts were assembled based on the research of Trevarus Caerick, and compiled over the course of several years of intense study and travel by the Krath. Much of the text was considered heretical by the Dark Council, and Trevarus was forbidden from widely publishing his work. To date, the only complete copyies of the text reside in the Archives of Clan Naga Sadow, and with Sephiroth Kali.
