COMBAT INFORMATION

- | Combat Function | Utoretis is Vexen's second in command on the battlefield. He speaks and acts with the authority of the Anzati General in their absence and handles the battlefield as one would expect a general in the Imperial Legion. Utoretis is typically on the frontlines, the emissary sent by Vexen to deliver judgement upon his enemies.
- [ Iron Fist ] | Utoretis' skill in hand to hand combat are fearsome, and few have been able to go toe to toe with him and succeed in besting him. Where other Sith may utilize their sabers, Utoretis prefers his mix of masterful unarmed combat and utilization of Force powers to pummel his opponents down. Many a Sith and Jedi have been subdued and beaten to death by his hand, underestimating the extent to which he has mastered Teras Kasi.
- [ Lead the Charge ] | As Vexen's right hand, Utoretis is entrusted in leading the soldiers of the Red Legion into battle in Vexen's absence from the frontlines. In addition to his skill and prowess in battle, Utoretis possesses uncanny intellect to identify weaknesses in his enemies and exploit openings in defenses.
- [ Face Me Coward ] | As a practitioner of martial arts and refusal to wield a lightsaber, it can be noted that Utoretis is not very effective when handling opponents from range. While his use of Force powers in combat can help him avoid taking any significant damage from ranged weapons, it does require that he be in close proximity or even within a clear enough line of sight to use Force powers such as Deadly Sight to handle anyone not using a lightsaber or their fists.
- [ Flash of Fire ] | Utoretis is an aged Arkanian, even if his physical performance on the field may suggest otherwise. While an incredibly capable fighter, his age results in a lack of extended combat and thus leads to Utoretis needing to take a leave from the frontlines to recuperate himself to avoid severe exhaustion.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Very few individuals exist in the Galaxy that Vexen has respect for, and even fewer alive that he hasn't consumed; Darth Utoretis is one of those few individuals. Born under the name of Saulger Sagai, Utoretis was the son of two Arkanian Jedi who had dedicated their lives to peace and tranquility. Sagai was born naturally gifted in the Force, something that would play a rather critical role in his early life as it led him to starting to tamper and toy with the mystical properties and develop from a young age. However,Sagai had little interest for the expectations of his family or upholding any sort of ancestral commitment his family was bound by, seeing them as beneath him and not utilizing his full potential, and so he abandoned his home and family in pursuit of a more fulfilling existence.
It did not take Sagai long to take up martial arts and eventually found himself to be much more attuned to hand to hand combat, enhancing his abilities via the Force and developing an immensely effective form of combat for himself. This was only further improved as he learned and incorporated the art of Teräs Käsi. While not formally trained in the use of a lightsaber as most Jedi were, Sagai became a practitioner of the ancient martial art that was capable of surpassing even veteran duelist by leagues. Yet despite his accomplishments and prowess, a void lingered within him - something to truly test the limits of his abilities.
This test came in the form of the Anzati, Kor Vexen, who had been wandering the Galaxy seeking worthy prey to consume. And with the whispers of a masterful practitioner of martial arts in the air, it was hard for the Anzati to not have his interest piqued. When the two met, it was by glance alone that they had found something worthy of one another's time, with the other possessing something that they wanted; a challenge and a meal. Though Vexen had several centuries of experience ahead of Sagai, the aged Arkanian was able to hold his own against the Anzati. It was a lengthy battle of both stamina and skill, though Vexen would ultimately rise above the young Arkanian. Sagai had found his challenge and met his match, though Vexen still saw potential for the Arkanian to become even greater than he was.
So rather than strike the Arkanian down and feast on his essence, Vexen extended a rare opportunity to the Arkanian, and offered to take him under his wing. Like many before Sagai, Vexen offered sweet temptations in the form of fully unlocking his potential and allowing the Arkanian to reach even greater heights, all the while not expecting that Vexen would one day turn on him. And so Sagai became apprentice to Vexen, and later on would become known as Darth Utoretis. Come the time when Vexen was made a high ranking general in the Sith Empire, it was only fitting that a rare individual who had garnered Vexen's interest and respect was appointed as his second in command. Utoretis has since then faithfully served under Vexen, and further enhanced his own capabilities using the Dark Side of the Force. To this he owes a debt of gratitude to Vexen and is willing to follow whatever path he is presented with on a journey to become stronger.
