As the war against the Sith Empire is coming to a victorious conclusion for the forces of good, another threat emerges from the Unknown Regions - the Brotherhood of the Maw. Meanwhile, a phantom menace begins to creep into the fabric of the Galactic Alliance seeking to bring it down from within.
After finally purging himself free of his father's corruptive presence, Dagon Kaze, now a Jedi Knight, has a new inner conflict to tackle - trying to strike a balance between his duty as a Jedi and his personal relationships.
One's bound to break.
After his fateful reunion atop the spires of the Ziost Academy with his fallen twin brother -
Aeric Kaze
- who nearly kills Dagon, the young Jedi Padawan is corrupted with his father's vengeful spirit. Rescued from the ruins of the Academy by his fellow Jedi and friend
Kaska Arden
, the two end up embroiled in a deadly battle with a Sith aboard the Prosperity during the Sith Empire's counter-attack over Ziost. In the midst of the duel, Dagon - driven by his father's presence within - taps into the dark side in an attempt to save Kaska; while he succeeds in doing so, the trust and bond between the two is shattered. The rift is further opened by the intervention of
Michael Sardun
, famed Jedi Crusader and Kaska's mentor, who sacrifices an eye to cauterize Haytham Kaze's corruption. Left conflicted, but feeling justified in his actions, Dagon embarks on a toiling journey to better discern the line between right and wrong.
While still ripped apart from within due to Haytham's spirit, Dagon not only joins the attack on Generis but persuades more Jedi to join him in his quest for justice against the Sith - notably
Viers Connory
,
Viera
,
Violet Horne
and
Kaska Arden
. The mission turns into a fiasco and his foolishness nearly costs the life of all of his companions, leaving Kaska in a bacta tank for an indefinite time, while being rescued by Violet and the enigmatic presence lingering within her. Regretful in his rash actions, the young Jedi Padawan retreats into a self-imposed exile briefly and inaudibly swears to go solo believing his leadership being an ingredient for disaster.
During the brief pause from the Stygian Campaign, there remains no respite for the raven-haired Jedi as he uncovers a conspiracy plot on Coruscant that would eventually lead him to Denon. However, before that, Dagon faces the growing threat of the so-called Brotherhood of the Maw. Fending off the crazed cultists on Jakku and along the rest of the Alliance's frontier with the Unknown Regions, he alerts both the Council and Senate of the impending threat. Around this period he meets
Ayana Vullen
with who he forms a strong, loving relationship which sees him at last turning the tide of the internal turmoil raging within his mind. The bond between the two intensifies greatly but fate once again seeks to take his most precious..
As the Maw raids upon the frontier decline, the Jedi finds himself on Ossus fighting the newly risen Sith Eternal as part of the Alliance's reinforcements to the Concord. The GADF unit he is attached to is the same combat element in which his lover Ayana serves as a medic. A foreboding sensation envelops him and it eventually manifests into reality - meeting his brother once more. In the brutal scuffle between the two, Dagon inadvertently plunges his blade through Ayana's heart in an attempt to stab Aeric. And just like before, the Jedi is left feeling alone in a galaxy that only promised to take all that he valued. A void opens up in his heart there where his beloved used to be and Dagon shuts his feelings to the universe fearful that any attachment he forms is damned to be shattered.
Eventually, Dagon manages to open up and confess what had transpired both over Ziost and on Ossus to his best friend
Aeris Lashiec
and his master
Asmundr Varobalder
- the legendary Warden of the New Jedi Order. Consoled and given hope by both, Dagon rediscovers once more the resolve he had lost but still treads carefully the line between the darkness and the light.
Prior to the relaunch of the Stygian Campaign, the Jedi follows a lead on the conspiracy plot he had been investigating to the corporate world of Denon. There, after an eventful attempt to go undercover within the ranks of a local gang, he meets
Yula Perl
- the daughter of the woman who had killed his father. Without any deliberate 'push' from each other, the two begin to form a bond that intensifies through the fire and flames of Csilla, Sev Tok and Nar Kreeta. By the time both could even acknowledge it, the duo's bond grows into an emotional relationship with Yula filling the void left behind by Ayana's death.
The culmination of these near 600 posts of writing the author has struggled (terribly) in summarizing comes at the Battle of Krayiss II, where Dagon is faced with yet another dilemma - abandoning Yula to her fate against her cousin, the formidable fallen Jedi
Zaavik Perl
or performing his duty to the Light carrying out his oath. With tears in his eyes, he (of course because drama) chooses the latter and joins his fellow New Jedi comrades into the heart of darkness that is the Library Temple of Krayiss II. There, both his friend
Bernard of Arca
and Dagon fall to the Dark Side with the latter ending up fully possessed by his father. In one last ditch effort - a suicidal one at that - Dagon channels his whole existence into the Light purging Bernard's corruption and Haytham's vengeful presence once and for all.
Thus comes the end of Chapter I with his father's spirit cleansed forever but with a new obstacle ahead - trying to strike a balance between his duty as a Jedi and his personal relationships.
One's bound to break.
Also he's a Jedi Knight now, nice. -

BROTHERS DIVIDED
Not a soul in the galaxy is closer to Dagon than his own twin brother -
Aeric Kaze
. When he disappeared one day from their home on Ruusan, Dagon believed his brother dead somewhere in the galaxy. Not long after, Dagon left for the stars seeking to become a Jedi and find his brother's whereabouts if alive. Discovering his brother is alive but corrupted by their father and fallen to the Dark Side, the two clash in a lethal scuffle twice - once on Ziost and once on Ossus. Left with only the painful revelation of his brother's fate, Dagon is torn whether there his brother could truly be redeemed or is he forever lost.

THE CRIMSON KING
After clashing with his twin brother on Ziost, Dagon's psyche is infiltrated by their father Sith Lord Haytham Kaze. A legendary Dark Jedi in his prime and one of the Sith Triumvirs of old, Haytham's legacy in the realm of mortals is his relentless pursuit of vengeance against Joza Perl; the woman who had killed him. He continuously attempts to corrupt Dagon to the dark side with the aim of assuming control - just like he had done with Aeric - and succeeds twice. During the second successful conversion, the young padawan finally finds the strength to purge his father's presence by nearly killing himself in the process.

BORN ON A MONDAY
In his numerous adventures as a Jedi, Dagon has inadvertently encountered numerous Sith. While most are beyond saving, two - so far - have been found capable of salvation.
Arlo Renard
Kai and
Damsy Callat
. Both now carry the burden to walk the righteous path in a daunting struggle against the curse of the Dark Side. Dagon strives to help them in any way possible despite his own failures. Then there's

THE GREAT ERROR
Thirty-three decapitated bodies found on freight from Empress Teta to Coruscant. That's where the most complicated investigation in Dagon's life begins. Following the trail of blood, the Jedi soon begins to realize he is entangled in a web of lies and deception way beyond just a case of serial homicides. From low-life thugs and gangs to corruption on the highest level of the Alliance, the conspiracy slowly but surely begins to assume the form of rising Sith influence within Core. Along with
Ryv
, the Sword of the Jedi and war hero most recently framed for murder, they embark to unravel the greatest mystery and threat the Jedi have so far faced.

THE MISSING PIECE
A love-inducing chemical accidentally released on Jedha leads to Dagon Kaze and
Ayana Vullen
crossing paths. What started as artificially created attraction turned into a genuine love for each other. Considered Dagon's first, true love, Ayana becomes the 'missing piece' in his life. Their relationship is cut short when he inadvertently kills her during the Battle of Ossus when Aeric pulls her into the way of Dagon's lightsaber. She forever remains in his heart and to this day Dagon refuses to visit the rooftop of Building 157 on Coruscant where they confessed their love to each other believing his presence would desecrate otherwise sacred grounds.

STAY AWAKE WITH ME
The loss of Ayana left an unfulfillable void in his heart and a fear of attachments. Following a lead on his conspiracy investigation, Dagon accidentally met
Yula Perl
during a failed sting operation on a criminal gang. It would not be their last encounter. Teaming up together through the fires of Csilla, Sev Tok, Nar Kreeta and crimefighting on Denon ignited a spark between them burning to ash the fear of closeness. While the stark contrast of their personalities and their struggles in the galaxy have forged a strong, caring bond between the two lovers, they have also shaken their relationship - the culmination of which was Dagon choosing the duty of a Jedi over her during the Battle of Krayiss II. Since then both have resorted to sweeping these issues under the rug, yet it is only a matter of time before the heap becomes too big to ignore.

Viers Connory
was one of the Jedi from the Jakku Enclave he 'recruited' to the Battle of Generis. Throughout the period of the war against the Sith Empire, both work together on various missions and grow close. Unbeknownst to Dagon, their closeness is defined by Viers' feelings for him. The regretful revelation dawns during the Battle of Krayiss II and leaves Dagon regretful. Puzzled by what could've been, the raven-haired Jedi's struggling attempts to maintain some form of balance between his duty and personal relationships are further strained.

Djonas Val
, Dagon Kaze, and Kal Varn were once a promising team of Jedi padawans bestowed with great expectations. The Dynamic Trio was eventually shattered due to Dagon's error as a leader which left Kal dead and Djonas to leave the Order. Djon resurfaced years later as an Imperial Knight in service of the New Imperial Order, while there's no outright hostility between the two and mostly regret, past mistakes have made their reconciliation a challenge.
