DARR TAH
-
Born on the world of Midvinter, during one of the coldest winters in a generation, Bjørn Ekenskeld is the first son of a famous Valkyrie shieldmaiden. His father is unknown, it is said that Bjørns mother searched for a suitable warrior to give her a child, venturing through the Northmark and Eastmark to find one, upon her return she was pregnant, but she never shared or answered who the father was. So she came to raise the boy alone.
In proper Valkyrie tradition, she raised him to be a warrior at heart, kind to family, unforgiving to outsiders and faithful to the Allfather. Something though was going on in the mind of this young blondling, he always seemed particularly harsh and direct, even towards his mother, despite her showing him nothing but dedicated attention and yes, love. As he approached the early teenage years, even before small stubbles of beard would appear, the relationship of him and his mother worsened dramatically. Bjørn was no child anymore and he would not let anyone command or direct him. But his nature was not based on youthful thick-headdedness, he was faster, stronger and much quicker with his wit than he should be. Force sensitivity was not unknown, but it was not common either.
Bjørn fell out with his mother when they were doing a pilgrimage to a shrine and he refused to pay his respects to a god which was not responding, which could not prevent him from murdering a priest, from destroying the shrine. It was not out of evil intent - it was the ideal to prove something, to show that a warrior should be able to stick to his word. And he did, he wanted to test the Allfather, but from the young mans perspective, he triumphed over the god. Holding out his sword he screamed into the mountains, shouted a challenge to the gods to bring him down if they could. Tears were running down his face, for he had not only killed the priest, but also his mother who tried to stop him.
Forever he ran, enfuriated by his own actions, grieving for his mother and hateful towards the gods. Bjørns mother was well known in the North and East, for her quest to find a husband gained quite the popularity among the skalds. So he ran into the West, travelled days, weeks till he would see a friendly face again. He came to Heavenheim, exhausted and rugged.
He would spend the better part of a week in the city before he was taken away. Washed and cloaked he would start to work in construction, a young face which could carry a lot was always welcome. Earning decent money, he seemed to enjoy the days. And the nights of course. But after only a handful of these days, a merchant approached him, talked to him and before he could say anything or actually remember what occured - he was on a ship off the planet.
Days later he awoke, his vision blurry as kicked in the guts to stand up. Several large, armored individuals staring at him, all but one clad in a uniform. The unique one had a shady hood and armored robes which seemed to flow in lightest of breezes. With little more effort he and several others, judging by their appearance also from Midvinter, were pushed out of the ship into a horrid climate, dominated by jungles and lightning. But Bjørn felt the presence instantly. It was a lure of power, an idea of charm which veiled the senses and enchanted the heart.
Sooner than later he learned about being on Dromund Kaas, a capital of an Empire at war, an Empire of the Sith which was being torn down by rebels of an anti-Sith doctrine called the New Imperial Order. A force sensitive boy who was now thrown into the world of pain, terror and humiliation at the local Sith Academy.

Enclosed armored suit
Before sealing himself off in his armored suit an taking up the name Darr Tah, Bjørn was a handsome, well-built Valkyrie with blonde hair, blue eyes and a surprisingly friendly voice. He always was against growing out his beard more than necessary and shaved off the sides of his hair. He was pretty by all standards and would draw a lot of attention when growing up.
Once his proclamation of a new name and his taking of an anonymising suit, Darr Tah was not seen without it. Spikes, wires, power and cooling units, a long tabard all in red and metal colors he gives a new imposing figure, especially since he is a full grown Valkyrie.

TRAITS:
Lithic: No doubt, Darr is one of the least expressive and emotionally reactive people there are. Calm, focused and with minimal gestures he is a brooding, staring monument, more a statue than a sentient man.
Builder: His passion, his obsession, his speciality in warfare is the fortress, building or razing, attacking or defending, the Warrior-King is a gifted engineer and builder.
Young: Despite his behaviour and demeanour, Darr is still quite young and therefore inexperienced, proving to have more boldness and skill than insight, so far.
Chef: Original a good hunter, Darr developed himself into an excellent chef, cooking being his passion. He truly enjoys giving dinners and cooking for groups of people, creating quite exotic and extraordinary meals from various cuisines.
SKILLS:
Siegecraft A deep knowledge of engineering, architecture and heavy weapons give Darr an edge in constructing and besieging the most formidable of fortresses.
Sworddancer: Having learned various approaches to hand-to-hand combat and proving his muscular stature is not obstacle for speed, Darr is a very technical and versatile operator of bladed weapons.

Origins
As a Valkyri from Midvinter, especially being the son or a murdered shieldmaiden, people hailing from there might take an interest in what has caused the death of the popular figure as well as the destruction of a shrine devoted to the Allfather along with the slaying of several of the priests.
Sith Training / Dark Side
An apt practitioner of the Dark side and a former member of the Sith Order, Darr has fought in the war against the New Imperials, was trained on Dromund Kaas and has claimed some profession in excelling at quite basic Force powers which he proved to use with devastating proficiency but never interested in higher arts or mysteries. He could be seen as a potential traitor to the Sith Empire for his actions during the end of his loyalty or as a potential teacher or asset.
Cooking
Anyone intrigued by extravagant and high quality cuisine will find the idea of being served by this man absolutely fascinating. He performs like an artist in the kitchen and serves meals combined and revulotionised from all over the Galaxy.
Constructing / Building
Fortresses, castles, citadels, forts ... choose and you will not be disappointed. Choose in construction or destruction and this fellow will help you achieve it without doubt.
Excaliban
As self-proclaimed Warrior-King of the feudal world of Excaliban, he holds some interest in diplomacy and politics to advance his own realm and power.
