----Biography: Darth Animus was born Corin Zanith, a slave on the world of Zenthis. Like all humans there he was treated as an abomination, beaten daily by his masters, and forced to watch as his friends and families were taken away to be used by the Masters of Zenthis in their experiments. In time he came to discover his own force powers, and began to use them to protect his friends and family from the brutal and lethal day to day life on Zenthis. However, in time the Ascended heard of the human who had begun to cause issues in their city, and sent a squad of their Gene-Soldiers to kill Corin. He escaped, though his entire family was slaughtered in the process.
Enraged, Corin rallied to human population of Zenthis and led them in an uprising against the Ascended Council. For weeks the capital city of Zenthis was alight with the fires of rebellion, as human armies battled against the Gene-Legions of the Ascended. In the end it was all for naught, the humans did not have the numbers or weaponry to continue the rebellion for long, and the unending legions of the Ascended broke them. In a desperate bid of escape, Corin led what few rebels there we left to secure transport off world. All the rebels were killed except for Corin, who made it off world. Alone, he made a blind jump into deep space.
He traveled for many days, surviving off the rations on board the vessel, before finally being met by a Sith Lord from the Resurgent Empire. He was taken back to the Empire and tested, his force abilities and combat talent proving acceptable. He was taken as the apprentice of the Sith Lord Darth Animus. He trained for many years in secret with the Resurgent Empire, until the day they began their galactic conquest. He took arms with his comrades and fought on numerous worlds, until the Resurgent Empire fell. His master, Darth Animus tried to continue the fighting, and save the Resurgent Empire, however Corin knew it was over. He struck down his own master, and took his weapon, armor, and name for himself.
Departing from that region of space, Darth Animus established himself on the world of Ambria, finding the Temple of Natth, and taking it as his new home. It would not be long after that he would come into contact with the Jen'ari Empire. The Emperor of the Jen'ari reached out and offered Animus a position within the growing Empire, a position Animus accepted readily. His power and knowledge would see him swiftly become the right hand of the Emperor, and eventually the leader of the Dark Council. Animus would be the supreme commander of the Jen'ari Empires military during the brief Sith Civil War and conflict against the CIS, fighting on numerous fronts to defend the borders of the Empire until the Jen'ari eventually fled.
Some time after the Empire established its new dominion in the backwaters of the galaxy, Animus and the Emperor had a falling out over diverging ideals, leading Animus to depart the Empire and strike out on his own. Using the resources he had gathered during his time, Animus began to establish himself on the world of Corellia. During this time Animus began to reach out, and begin training a new generation of dark side users under his own beliefs.
Strengths
1. Duelist: Animus is an accomplished duelist, having learned under various warriors from dozens of worlds across the galaxy. On top of this, he had privately developed and forged his own techniques, taking the best of numerous different combat styles to create ones best suited for a variety of different situations.
2. Intelligent: Animus is a learned individual. He has spent most of his life as a Sith devouring any knowledge he could come across and seeking out more besides. His most prized items are numerous libraries full of ancient and modern texts on many different subjects.
Weaknesses:
1. Paranoid: Due in part to his departure from the Jen'ari, and the various bounties placed on his head Animus is a cautions and paranoid individual. He is constantly wary of potential threats tracking him down and destroying that which he has sought to build.
2. Straight Forward: Animus believes subtlety and covert actions waste time and effort that could be better spent elsewhere. The easiest solution to dealing with a problem is to tackle it head on, and deal with the aftermath as it unfolds.
