PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Galen Dooku is a striking figure, bearing the aristocratic features of his lineage with a modern, battle-hardened edge. He has a lean, athletic build shaped by years of rigorous training in both lightsaber combat and courtly discipline. His face is sharp and angular, with high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and expressive dark eyes that seem to analyze everything in his line of sight. His hair is thick and dark, slightly tousled but always maintained with a soldier's neatness. Though young, his demeanor carries the quiet gravity of someone much older, a man who carries both legacy and burden.
His clothing often blends regal tradition with tactical functionality. In formal settings, he dons a long, flowing cloak and tunic in rich earth tones with subtle silver embellishments, echoing the refined style of his noble heritage.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Galen carries himself with calm confidence and intellectual reserve, rarely given to emotional outbursts or impulsive action. Instead, Galen is contemplative and deliberate, known for observing more than he says and striking only when the moment demands precision. He possesses a dry wit and an understated charisma that makes him a natural leader, though he often keeps others at arm's length, wary of forming attachments that might compromise his clarity of purpose. Despite his cold exterior, Galen is not without compassion—only restraint. He respects strength of character above all, and often tests the motivations of others before offering trust or allegiance.
Philosophically, Galen is deeply skeptical of binary doctrines. He rejects both the rigid dogma of the Jedi and the corruption of the Sith, believing that true power must be guided by reason, not ideology. He sees the Force as a spectrum rather than a divide, a tool that should serve the will of a just and enlightened mind—not the mandates of a crumbling Order. This belief has led him to walk a lonely path, forging his own principles centered on autonomy, order, and accountability. Though some accuse him of moral detachment, Galen's decisions are grounded in a genuine desire to prevent chaos and tyranny from taking root.

Galen Dooku is the enigmatic scion of the infamous House Dooku, descended from the fallen Jedi and Separatist leader Count Dooku. Raised in secret on Serenno by loyal retainers, Galen grew up with the burden of a legacy both revered and reviled. Trained from a young age in the ways of the Force, he was steeped in the lost traditions of the Jedi and the political philosophy of his ancestor, blending aristocratic discipline with a harsh realism about galactic power. Refusing both Jedi dogma and Sith absolutism, Galen forged his own path, becoming a rogue Force adept who valued order, honor, and independence above institutional allegiance.
Before being brought into active play, Galen spent years operating in the shadows of galactic politics. He studied at elite academies under assumed names, gaining knowledge in diplomacy, military strategy, and esoteric Force practices. He quietly built connections with disillusioned Jedi, former Confederates, and disenfranchised noble houses who remembered the the glory of the Confederacy's cause. Galen came to view the Force as a tool for balance and justice, rather than blind devotion or domination, and began subtly shaping events behind the scenes, preparing for the moment he would emerge into the wider galaxy.
His emergence coincides with a fractured galaxy where neither the Royal Republic nor the remnants of Confederate rule offer stability. Galen now seeks to reclaim his family's honor and restoring the CIS to is former glory. Whether he becomes a symbol of hope, a feared warlord, or something else entirely depends on the alliances he makes and the enemies he inherits.
