Syphoc Rilkel, also called Sy or Syph, is a smuggler turned Dark Jedi. He has turned his talents from smuggling goods, to assassination and lore, two items he has discovered an apt affinity for. Despite his love for these two very different schools of talent, he is also a fearsome warrior if challenged.


Character History

A Modest Beginning

Syphoc Rilkel was born to Xenon and Ira Rilkel in the year 12 BBY on the planet Coruscant. Why the couple were on Coruscant, is to this day unconfirmed, but Xenon would tell and older Syphoc that they were discussing a “business proposition”. Ira Rilkel died in childbirth, leaving here baby boy to grow up with his father.

In 11 BBY, a year after Syphoc’s birth, Xenon took him and together, the Rilkels left Coruscant for Corellia. Corellia was the planet where the Rilkel line had been established, so to this day Syphoc considers it his homeworld.

On Corellia, Xenon bought a small apartment in Coronet City, the jeweled capital of the Corellian System. He insisted that Syphoc become a nearly independent child, making sure that he knew how to get to and from school and what to do when he got home. The reason for this, Xenon said, was to protect Syphoc from the Empire should something ever happen to him.

For the next eleven years, the Rilkels lived in relative peace on Corellia.


A World Upended

In the year 0 ABY, Xenon’s fears came to fruition, as Syphoc came to discover when he arrived home one day. He found the apartment in ruins, and Xenon missing; following his father’s thoughts and hatred, Syphoc pointed the finger of blame at the Imperials and left the scene.

Years later, in a meditation exercise for his Trials of the Sword, Syphoc would look back on this moment and have a Force Revelation. He would discover that his father had left a holo-recorder in his desk. Syphoc found and watched it, and discovered that his father had been a Rebel agent who had become a terrorist in the Imperial Capital of Coruscant.

Suspecting that the Imperials were going to be looking for him, Xenon’s heir, Syphoc fled Coronet and hid in Tyrena, a city that was north of Coronet. Here, he lived as a beggar and burglar on the streets, for two years, avoiding the Imperial Storm Trooper patrols as much as possible.


Meeting of the Minds

In Tyrena, Syphoc became friends with a Human female, Karol. Eventually, the two of them brought together seven Humanoids in all and they stole a CR90 Corellian Corvette from the Tyrena Starport. They flew to Tatooine where they became an established smuggling crew.

Several years later, in 5 ABY, they had completely modified the CR90 Corvette, rechristening it as the Alpha Centauri. I had hidden smuggling compartments for the few times the Imperials managed to catch them, as well as highly illegal, very powerful cannons.

The team had accepted a job from an unknown client, who they suspected was a Rebel operative; they were to deliver two tons of bacta to Naboo where they would hand it over to the operative, receive their payment and be on their way. They arrived on Naboo and were paid for their services, but the Imperial Storm Troopers found the operative, killing him on sight. The team of smugglers left the surface with the two tons of bacta on board, millions of credits richer than we had been setting down on the surface.

On our way back to Tatooine, an Imperial Star Destroyer materialized from hyperspace in front of the Alpha Centauri and ordered them to return to the planet. In a race to get to the jump point before being destroyed by the Star Destroyer, the team turned from ecstatic at having made so much money to terrified at the prospect of dying. They won the race however, and left the system heading for Tatooine.


Fleeing from Fate

Fate did not remain on their sides for long, for they soon received another job for the same merchandise, again from the Rebellion. The team left Tatooine, slightly heartened at having received another job so fast.

Their relief did not remain for long, for as soon as they materialized into the Dantooine system, they noted the three Star Destroyers blockading the planet. The Alpha Centauri has little chance of survival, so Syphoc decides to abandon his friends and comrades, and save his own skin. Thus he began to walk the dark path and accept his destiny.

During the battle, after he had decided to flee and save only himself, he became attuned to the Force, sensing the deaths of his comrades. He plugged coordinates that the force whispered to him into the nav-computer of the only hyperspace capable escape pod on the ship and proceeded to launch it. He was on a direct course to the Antei system, where his entire life would change.


Heirs to the Empire

Upon arriving in the Antei system, Syphoc joined the Shadow Academy as an Apprentice. After proving his worth a short time, he joined Clan Naga Sadow. In Clan Naga Sadow, Syphoc rose through the ranks quickly, reaching the rank of Guardian. Over this time period, he expanded his studies in the Shadow Academy. His vast thirst for knowledge and the desire to prove himself helped the young Dark Jedi greatly in achieving his goals.

However, fate would not allow Syphoc to remain in Brotherhood space, and a rumor about one of his old comrades from the Alpha Centauri was enough to investigate. Leaving House Marka Ragnos behind, the Guardian left the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in search of his comrade. He arrived too late however, as bounty hunters had already found and killed him.


A Return to the Brotherhood

After nearly a year spent wandering the depths of space, drowing in sorrow, Syphoc Rilkel returned to the Dark Brotherhood. Unable to bring himself to return to Clan Naga Sadow, the Guardian requested a place in Clan Scholae Palatinae. He immediately settled into his new house, Acclivis Draco, right in time to participate in the Scholae Palatinae Summer Games.

Following his performance in the Summer Games, Syphoc requested a Master so that he could begin his training in earnest. The Knight Class Envoy of Scholae Palatinae, Selene d'Tana, granted his request and assumed the responsibility of being his Master. Not even two days later however, Selene resigned her position as the Knight Class Envoy and left Brotherhood space.


Braecen Kaeth Kunar, Consul of Clan Scholae Palatinae offered to take Selene's three apprentices. Xathia dan Locut'Hal declined Braecen's offer, instead requesting Thran Occasus; Yzarc Rellik accepted the offer with Syphoc. Despite this fact, the three have remained good friends to this day.


Trials of the Sword

With his new master teaching, Rilkel looked to the future, setting his sights on becoming a Jedi Hunter. Braecen set a simple meditation exercise before him, telling him to meditate on his past and attempt to reveal all of the mysteries that it held. Syphoc, following orders, entered the meditation state and discovered that his father was an undercover Rebel operative who had been arrested by the Empire.

The Guardian knew however, that he would be unable to challenge the Empire in his current state, so he drowned himself in his studies. His greed and lust for knowledge equaled, if not exceeded, what they had been before he had left Brotherhood space. He was eager to prove himself to his Master, House, and Clan, but expected to wait until the War that was brewing broke out.


Missio Draconis

His chance however, was much closer at hand as a crisis broke out in the lower levels of the Acclivis Draco Stronghold on Antenora. In the fierce battle that ensued, the Guardian downed so many enemies, proving his worth to the House and his Master.

Over the fifteen day fight, the young Guardian fought admirably and hard, participating in everything from defense to offense as well as scouting. Following his pristine performance, Aedile Natth a'Niel Palpatine and Master Braecen Kaeth Kunar had no choice but to elevate him to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

Thus, the eager Guardian’s Trials of the Sword were successfully completed. The newly promoted Jedi Hunter however fully expected to have to wait until war broke out between the Six Great Clans of the Brotherhood and prove himself further before being promoted to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.


Trials of the Dragon

Jedi Hunter Syphoc Rilkel continued to apply himself to his work. Soon after attaining the rank of Jedi Hunter, Braecen appointed a member of Clan Scholae Palatine to better instruct his two apprentices in the art of lightsaber combat, Xan Phraz-Etar.

Following his training with Xan, the master and apprentice journeyed to Corellia to find a suitable color and power crystal for Syphoc’s lightsaber.
