• Sylas is an echo of a shadow child of the Second Ruling Family of Csilla. House Nuruodo's quest for power found itself to establish a small experimental division on the inhospitable Chiss planet of Cessed, seeking to elucidate the secrets of the Dark Side of the Force and wield its powers. A long line of Chiss children were exterminated or transformed into demonic Sithspawn in an attempt to transplant a stolen relic of the ancient Sith: a magical crystal once embedded in the heart of Dathka Graush. A final attempt sought to contain the rampant powers and corruption of the magical crystal with Nyix-alloy, encasing the crystal entirely before transplanting it into the heart of the child. It was barely a success, and the child's cognitive functions remained in tact while also preventing him from de-amalgamating into a pile of corrupted flesh. His mind, however, had long crumbled underneath the extremely tortrous and unwieldy transplantation process. In its wake, a mindfiend conglomerated from the essence of thousands of Sith spirits within the Heart of Graush took possession over his body. Vanquishing and exterminating his handlers and experimenters, Sylas silently remained on the world of Cessed for thousands of years until now.
  
• Upon first glance, most would assume that Sylas is a terminally ill patient outside of the hospital. Extremely gaunt and thin, their skin is taut against their bones which seem to bulge out unnaturally. Unlike Chiss eyes, however, their red eyes radiate dimly with an orange hue, looking exactly like those of other Dark Side Force Users. Sylas has mostly Chiss features, sporting black hair and pale blue skin. However, part of their face and most their body is comprised of unnatural purple flesh--with detailed biological scans revealing a mix of Chiss and Sith DNA--that festers with bright orange-red blights that radiate Dark Side energies. The right side of their body is predominately affected, with their right hand and right foot being thin three-digit claws instead of normal human five, with two outward forward facing talons and one backward facing talon.
  
  Their gruesome appearance, however, is most often covered with armor. They, at most, reveal their face to the galaxy when in diplomatic settings, exhorting fear in the eyes of the weak.​

  THE HEART OF GRAUSH
  A magical crystal embedded in the legendary Sith necromancer, Dathka Graush. It is a powerful artifact containing the spirits of tens of thousands of dead Sith and reanimated corpses once wielded by the acclaimed king and overlord of Korriban. The strongest of the spirits melded together to form an individual personality, Sylas, which controls the Chiss vessel they were transplanted into. While the Chiss had no Force Sensitivity, Sylas is able to channel the magical crystal as a focus for the Force, unleashing ancient Sith magic and sorcery upon their foes. As they were once bound to and wielded by Dathka Graush, they most strongly retain their experiences and knowledge, comprising the majority of their abilities with the Dark side of the Force.
  
  

  

  THE NECARCH
  The Necarch is a highly modified EF96 Nebulon-A Escort Frigate co-opted and engineered by Sylas himself. Originally produced by Kuat Drive Yards, the vessel was completely overhauled, replacing the entirety of its frame and hull with Nyix-alloy to bolster hellish resistances. Furthermore, the Necarch has extensive scientific and Sith alchemy facilities, along with one of, if not the most, powerful sensor array system to scan and analyze entire sectors at a time. It also houses a company of 100 Ghouls -- Sithspawn Human Cyborgs equipped with Tenebrae-pattern Commando Armor Mk. II -- along with a squad of Gunships and TIE Fighters.​

• As the scion of Graush, Sylas also has mastered the Tsaiwinokka Hoyakut spell, leveraging it to not only create elite vanguards for himself but also to devastating effect on the battlefield. Able to resurrect both allies and foe alike, they are able to dominate the field with overwhelming numbers. While not summoned into battle, necromancy plays a key role into their work as a Cleric of the Order of the Imperial Knights, extracting information from the dead and propagating fear into the hearts of any potential dissenters of the New Imperial Order. Sylas is often sent to backwater worlds to set examples, decimating populations and ingraining the harsh lesson of the consequences of opposing the mandates of the Empire.
  
  Sylas has spent the past five millennium on the harsh world of Cessed attempting to incorporate both technology and Sith alchemy into a cohesive art form, culminating into the creation of Ghouls. With flesh alchemized into ultimate form and their combative abilities further enhanced with advanced neural cybernetics, Ghouls are an indominable and relentless force to reckon with.
  
  

  	CREATE GHOUL

  Ghouls are the eminent creation of Sylas that fuse ancient Sith alchemy with advanced cybernetics to form gruesome immortal warriors to answer their beck and call. They are equipped with the Empire's finest armor and weaponry, donning Tenebrae-pattern Commando Armor Mk. II incorporated with a Jetpack, IL-99B 'Doppelganger' Stealth Projector, Armorweave Cloak, and Telescoping Macrobinocular Visor Mount. They are skilled with a wide range of weapons, although they prefer melee weapons, specifically the KXV-VBS-01A 'Streiter' Vibroblade, utilizing the long lost blade arts of the Massassi.

  	QAZOI KYANTUSKA

  Qâzoi Kyantuska, or its Basic translation of Suppress Thought, effectively allows Sylas to control and influence the thoughts of others.

  	DRAIN LIFE

  By evoking the Dark Side of the Force to summoning the life energies of another being, Sylas is able to subsequently consume the life energies to revitalize and strengthen himself.

  	HEART STRIKE

  A small sword of Dark side energies is conjured within the target's body, directly impaling their heart and exploding with the force of a thermal detonator. While a less efficient use of the Force, the brutality of the method made it one of Graush's favorite abilities to use on his enemies.

  	CURSE OF GRAUSH

  By channeling the Heart of Graush, Sylas temporarily gains an immense amount of regenerative healing, bodily physical and energy resistance, and the ability to cast extremely powerful Sith magic.

  
  ​

• 	LORD NECROMANCER

  Teetering on the brink of life and death, Sylas is empowered by their own death and decay and has a great mastery over death itself. They are a masterful user of Sith necromancy, Sith alchemy and Sith magic. Long lost ancient spells and rituals of the Sith are their true calling, slaying their foes with archaic powers unknown to most.

  	BRUTAL CONQUEROR

  With the knowledge and experience of Graush as the sole dominator of Korriban, stratagem and tactics are second nature to Sylas. All those below him are mere tools of force to oppress others under their rule. Brutality and cruelty are given.

  	MORTAL COIL

  Containing the Heart of Graush within a non-Force Sensitive Chiss has left the body all but a breathe away from death. Crippled with intense weakness and extremely low endurance, Sylas is unable to move without immense effort or support. They are able to temporarily elevate their physical and combative prowess at the cost of further weakening their body and remaining lifespan.

  	DEATH AND DECAY

  The very existence of Sylas is an affront to the natural order and they radiates immense amounts of Dark Side energies. Their presence is a double edged sword for their allies: Dark Side users are empowered, Light Side users are sapped, and Neutral Force Users will have their balance increasingly corrupted. Light Side Force Abilities affect Sylas more significantly than other Dark Side Force Users.

  ​
• Since their departure from Cessed, Sylas found themselves in the employ the Empire, quickly ascending to the rank of Political Commissar as a member of COMPNOR and Cleric as a member of the Order of the Imperial Knights. Due to their isolating personality and desire for secrecy, they command the bare minimum number of Imperial officers and enlisted as he is required, with the large majority of their forces tend to be undead, Sithspawn, droids, or thralled through Sith alchemy or neural implants. While they claim to have left their Imperial counterparts untouched, they seem oddly loyal to their new officer, whether that be due to unknown pacts they have signed with Sylas or through forcible compliance...
