PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Kaelen Dravik is a towering, broad-shouldered man hardened by decades of battle. His skin is weathered and scarred, his left eye replaced with a crimson cybernetic implant that glows faintly in the dark. His hair is shorn close, black streaked with iron-grey, and his jaw is framed by a rough, ash-dusted beard. He wears scavenged warplate hammered together from old Sith and Mandalorian armor, each piece etched with jagged markings that proclaim his dominion over Malachor. His mere presence carries the weight of violence restrained only by his iron will.

INVENTORY

Ashrend
Lord Dravik's Warplate

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Dravik is ruthless, pragmatic, and utterly convinced of his destiny as the master of Malachor. He rejects the Sith Order's dogma and politics, seeing them as distractions for weak men who mistake ceremony for strength. To him, survival and dominance are the only truths. He thrives in chaos, shaping scavenger bands and mercenaries into a brutal, if unstable, war machine. Dravik believes Malachor is a crucible, and that only those who rule it by force are worthy of the galaxy's future. He despises pretenders who seek to "claim" Malachor without bleeding for it.

STRENGTHS

• Warlord's Charisma: A natural commander, Dravik inspires loyalty through fear, respect, and sheer presence. He has united scavenger guilds and mercenaries who would normally war endlessly with each other.
• Survivor's Cunning: Decades of surviving on Malachor's fractured surface have honed him into a master of ambushes, resource hoarding, and brutal efficiency in battle.
• Brutal Duelist: Exceptional lighstaber combat skills means Dravik can take on multiple opponents at once handily.

WEAKNESSES

• Isolationist Pride: Dravik refuses to bend knee to larger factions or ideologies, limiting his potential allies and leaving him vulnerable to coordinated opposition.
• Unrefined Force Training: Though he wields the Dark Side instinctively, his lack of formal Sith training makes him undisciplined and vulnerable against more skilled Force-users.

HISTORY

Once a rising Sith marauder in the outer fringes of the Caldera, Kaelen Dravik turned on his masters during the invasion in a calculated move to build his own empire. He deserted with a cadre of loyal warriors and vanished into the ruins of Malachor V, where he carved out dominion over scattered scavenger bands and mercenary fleets. Over time, he forged himself into the self-proclaimed "Lord of Ashes," holding Malachor through a mixture of brutality and cunning.

Dravik has spent years consolidating power in the shattered canyons, treating Malachor as both fortress and crucible. His followers believe he is chosen by the planet itself to rule, and they will kill or die to defend his claim. Now, with the arrival of the Dark Court and their followers, Dravik sees his throne challenged. He has sworn that no outsider—Sith or otherwise—will seize Malachor without burning for it.
