FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Due to his Garhan heritage Dissero has inhuman strength, speed, stamina and heightened senses.
His upbringing left him with a strong sense of self discipline. Dissero is a hard worker and not afraid of getting his hands dirty, even if that means with blood. He's not particularly keen on senseless slaughter but when a goal is on the line he's capable of throwing away what humanity remains. Dissero struggled with this from time to time, especially where his then love interest, Verie Lacroix, is concerned. Having to lead two lives, he finds it difficult to keep the stain of the Darkside out of his "human" life. Dissero has a closet full of skeletons, and he fears that revealing it will lead to losing the only thing he's ever wanted and was denied: the romance with Verie. He does his best to keep this hidden from his Sith life.
Dissero does generally heal faster than humans, but not quite so well as a full-blooded Garhoon. He also does not experience bloodlust in the same way; he does not crave blood so much as he can lose himself to rage if pushed far enough. The rage blinds him to most everything and everyone. The self control and discipline instilled in him from a young age has been made in effort to keep this from happening.
He's quite good at maintaining a level head even under stressful and chaotic circumstances. Dissero is a methodical thinker, intelligent and acts with purpose. He's quite skilled at close combat and can wield a lightsaber as well as the rest of them, but he holds no claim to fame in being the best at it.
His strengths lie in his ability to learn and adapt at an alarming rate, allowing him to think quickly on his feet. Dissero has a mind for the Dark Arts and a very strong connection to the Force that gives him the ability to see, feel, and manipulate the most minute aspects of it. This, coupled with his sharp mind, has made him an expert Archivist and dealer of Ancient Force relics and artifacts.
SHIP:
The Magnum Opus
A Tempus Ardet bulk freighter acquired after the great heist of the Sith Vaults and Archives. Used to transport the contents of what was stolen without being identified.
The Klepto
A Charon Class Freighter, ancient by current standards, but restored and updated for his personal use. "Gifted" to him by Ashin Varanin after successfully absconding it from Kayri during an OP invasion. The ship is one of the only known working models in the galaxy with a working Otherdrive that allows the ship to travel through Otherspace - another realm of existence - instead of hyperspace.

History:
Born to a wealthy and powerful Kuati Aristocrat Salvador Darke and his wife Lady Lorelei, Merovign had never much want for anything except perhaps approval. His childhood was that of a rigid upbringing - his father having passed away when he was only four, Merovign's growth depended entirely upon the Shamalain Matriarch. Lorelei was a woman of traditional senses who believed very firmly in self-discipline and sacrifice. She raised her son to become a man who was not afraid to give up idle pleasures to attain greatness. Lorelei had not been the most pleasant of mothers, but she was not terrible either. The woman tutored with tough love and high expectations. So naturally, as he matured, Merovign would also see these same ideals bestowed upon him as she began his training with the Force at a young age.
As a boy he was kept to his studies and training. Even into his teens, despite being a young man of privilege he was rarely seen at court or council. When Merovign came of age he was bestowed the title of Lord Amadeus Darke of the Kuati Aristocracy, though he would play little role in it in the years to come. His mentorship in the Force would be passed to another man - a Sith Master by the name of Darth Midian. Midian proved to be quite a challenging Master, but taught the boy a great deal about the subtle currents of manipulation in all forms. Dissero quickly learned to watch his back, and that a little suspicion could mean the difference between life and death. It was exactly that which allowed him to outlive his first Master.
His return home to Kuat from his journeys under the tutelage of Midian was somewhat abrupt and unexpected by most. The young Aristocrat found himself a seat on the Kuati Council alongside his mother and practiced what he'd learned with his former Master for a few years. In his time spent familiarizing himself with those of importance on the planet he did happen to take notice of a young dancer - Verie Lacroix, the daughter of the magnanimous Director of Operations of the KDY Avadreia Lacroix. Following a brief meeting after one of her recitals, he formed a curious fondness for the young Lady and pursued her romantically in private, away from the prying eyes of others. Their encounters were generally infrequent and fleeting, but given the schedule between the two it seemed to work out well enough. Even despite a short sojourn with another new Master, a Sith Knight by the name of Darth Saelitia, when he returned a Sith Knight himself he still found that fondness for Verie there.
Once Knighted and due to interfering personal interests, Dissero decided not to continue his travels with Darth Saelitia. He returned to Kuat once again expecting to reclaim his seat on the Council, but his mother had different plans. She put a good deal of effort into keeping him off-planet by giving him missions to scour the galaxy for personal items and artifacts she had hidden or lost over the centuries. None of which were easy and most of them had brought him very close to losing his life. Dissero suspected she knew of his affair from the Darkside with Verie and was doing this to keep them apart, but no amount of pressure from him could draw any sort of clear answer. On his return from his last mission in search of the elusive Subtle Cloak he found himself being placed under the tutelage of Sith Master and, at the time, Sith Emperor Darth Moridin. Displeased but certainly in no position to argue, he quietly accepted this turn of events and left to join Moridin in this emerging Empire.
Dissero did not play a forward role as he thought he might, for which he was both grateful and mildly resentful. Moridin kept him out of the public eye and used him for his experience and knowledge of diplomacy and the subtleties of observation and manipulation. Dissero became his eyes and ears within the Empire and was often sent on secret missions separate of the Empire.
But as things go, changes imminent, the turnover of Emperors meant the turnover of titles. Slighted by the removal of his title bestowed upon him by Empress Desmius by the new Emperor Ardik, Dissero conspired with his mentor, Velok, to empty the vaults and archives one final time. They did so under the guise of preparing for a new project, and pulled off the successful heist of the Sith Empire's entire treasure trove.

Dissero became his eyes and ears within the Empire and was often sent on secret missions separate of the Empire.
The Master of Vaults
His rise to power in the Sith Empire found him named Lord of Rudrig and Master of the Imperial Vaults & Archives. Dissero went through an extensive tour of moving the entire contents of the original archives and vaults on Dromund Kaas to the university planet of Rudrig. There he personally designed and oversaw the construction of the new vaults, which would effectively lock away the Empire's secrets from the galaxy.But as things go, changes imminent, the turnover of Emperors meant the turnover of titles. Slighted by the removal of his title bestowed upon him by Empress Desmius by the new Emperor Ardik, Dissero conspired with his mentor, Velok, to empty the vaults and archives one final time. They did so under the guise of preparing for a new project, and pulled off the successful heist of the Sith Empire's entire treasure trove.
