PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Leontis Antalis possesses the polished appearance expected of old Chandrilan nobility. He is young, handsome, and deliberately immaculate, with pale skin, sharp cheekbones, dark eyes, and carefully styled black hair. Every part of his presentation is curated to imply refinement, discipline, and inherited authority.

He favors high-collared formalwear, dark silks, deep wine tones, black brocade, and subtle gold ornamentation. His clothing is expensive without being gaudy, though he often wears rings, signets, and House Antalis emblems as quiet reminders of his station. In public, Leontis carries himself with effortless poise, speaking softly enough that others are forced to listen closely. His smile is practiced, charming, and rarely sincere.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Leontis Antalis is charming, patient, manipulative, and deeply corrupt. He does not see corruption as a flaw, but as the natural language of power. To him, ideals are tools, patriotism is theater, and loyalty is something purchased, threatened, or inherited.

He believes Chandrila has grown weak beneath generations of moral posturing and democratic sentiment. In his mind, the Sith Covenant’s control of the system is not a tragedy, but an opportunity. Where others see occupation, Leontis sees leverage. If he can make himself indispensable to the Covenant while presenting himself as Chandrila’s stabilizing native hand, he believes he can position House Antalis as the true authority over the system.

Leontis is not a Sith, nor does he pretend to be one. He respects power, fears Force users enough to flatter them, and despises them enough to plot around them. He prefers knives in the dark, ruined reputations, purchased votes, and carefully timed betrayals over open violence.

STRENGTHS

• Silver-Tongued Aristocrat: Leontis is an excellent speaker, negotiator, and manipulator. He knows how to flatter superiors, charm equals, and quietly humiliate rivals.
• Political Predator: He understands Chandrilan noble politics, bureaucratic pressure, blackmail, bribery, and public image. He rarely attacks an enemy directly when he can isolate them first.
• Useful to the Sith: Leontis understands that survival under Sith rule requires usefulness. He offers the Covenant local influence, noble legitimacy, intelligence networks, and a willingness to do what more principled Chandrilans will not.
• Patient Schemer: He is willing to wait months or years for a plan to mature, provided the final result leaves him stronger.

WEAKNESSES

• Not a Warrior: Leontis can defend himself in a limited sense, but he is not a soldier, duelist, or battlefield commander. Without guards, leverage, or preparation, he is vulnerable.
• Arrogant: His confidence in his own intelligence can blind him to people who are less refined but more dangerous than he expects.
• Dependent on Reputation: Much of his power comes from appearances, noble legitimacy, and political access. Public disgrace or exposure could cripple him.
• Playing with Monsters: Leontis believes he can use the Sith Covenant without being consumed by it. This may prove fatally optimistic.

HISTORY

Before Leontis was born, House Antalis followed one of its oldest and most closely guarded traditions. For centuries, every expectant mother of the house had secretly journeyed beyond the Core Worlds to consult an ancient Dathomiri witch. The practice was never spoken of publicly, dismissed by outsiders as little more than aristocratic superstition, yet each generation of Antalis rulers quietly trusted the witches' visions more than any political advisor.

The witches never claimed to see a fixed future. Instead, they perceived countless branching possibilities surrounding an unborn child. Most readings offered little more than broad guidance—a warning against pride, a promise of prosperity, or the possibility of a violent death should certain choices be made.

Leontis' reading was different.

The witch saw one future more vividly than any other: the child possessed a natural connection to the Force. Left untouched, that gift would one day draw the attention of the Jedi. Under their guidance he would abandon House Antalis, reject its ambitions, and ultimately become the instrument of its downfall. The vision was not declared inevitable, only dangerously probable.

The matriarch of House Antalis refused to gamble with the family's future. At the witch's direction, a ritual talisman was forged from Dathomiri bone, obsidian, and enchanted silver. Constantly in Leontis' proximity from infancy, it would not strip away Leontis' connection to the Force, but smother it beneath layers of mystical suppression. His instincts would remain sharper than most, his intuition unusually keen, but the deeper currents of the Force would never awaken while the talisman remained intact.

Only the head of House Antalis, the child's mother, and the Dathomiri coven were entrusted with the truth. To everyone else—including Leontis himself—the pendant was presented simply as an heirloom passed from one generation of Antalis to the next. He has worn it every day of his life without once questioning why his family insisted it never be removed.

Leontis Antalis was then born into House Antalis, an old Chandrilan noble family with wealth, land, and influence, but not the dominance it once enjoyed. From childhood, he was taught that Chandrila was governed as much in private salons, quiet dinners, and inherited favors as it was in any public chamber. He learned early that virtue was useful, but only when performed correctly.

His parents raised him to preserve the family’s position. Leontis interpreted that lesson more aggressively. By adolescence, he was already collecting secrets from servants, tutors, junior officials, and careless young heirs from rival houses. By adulthood, he had transformed those secrets into leverage.

The Sith Covenant’s control over Chandrila changed the political landscape overnight. Many nobles panicked. Some fled. Others attempted to resist or ingratiate themselves clumsily. Leontis saw the moment for what it was: a collapse of the old order and the birth of a new one.

Rather than openly oppose the Covenant, he began presenting himself as a necessary intermediary between Sith authority and Chandrilan society. He offered names, resources, political analysis, and quiet assistance in suppressing opposition. To the Covenant, he became a useful native asset. To the Chandrilan elite, he remained a polished young noble claiming to protect the system from harsher occupation.

Now, Leontis Antalis seeks more than survival. He intends to unite the fractured noble houses beneath his influence, eliminate rivals who threaten his ascent, and become the uncontested ruler of Chandrila in all but name. Whether the Sith view him as a puppet, partner, or disposable tool matters little to him for now.

The Sith think they own Chandrila.

Leontis intends to prove they merely hold it for him.
