Prologue
Chapter I
Dangal Olderem was born in the city-world of Brentaal IV, the offspring of a freighter pilot and a dockworker. His connection to the Force first manifested when, at the age of seven, he instinctively prevented a bulk freighter crane from crashing onto a group of workers. A Jedi Knight, who was investigating corruption on the planet, witnessed this event and subsequently took him to Coruscant. The Jedi knight took a liking into the child and here is where Dangal's journey started in learning the ways of the force.
His training was demanding — Dangal faced challenges early on with feelings of anger and pride. It was his mentor, Master Ki-Lera (a Twi'lek historian and Jedi Seer), who imparted the importance of patience and humility. Thalos evolved into one of the most skilled duelists of his generation, yet he never permitted his abilities to overshadow his purpose. He became renowned for safeguarding frontier systems against pirate collectives and Force cults that exploited the vulnerable. His blue lightsaber became a symbol of hope and determination. To the outer colonies, he was simply referred to as "The Blade of Brentaal."
After his fateful reunion atop the spires of the Ziost Academy with his fallen twin brother - Aeric Kaze - who nearly kills Dagon, the young Jedi Padawan is corrupted with his father's vengeful spirit. Rescued from the ruins of the Academy by his fellow Jedi and friend Kaska Arden, the two end up embroiled in a deadly battle with a Sith aboard the Prosperity during the Sith Empire's counter-attack over Ziost. In the midst of the duel, Dagon - driven by his father's presence within - taps into the dark side in an attempt to save Kaska; while he succeeds in doing so, the trust and bond between the two is shattered. The rift is further opened by the intervention of Michael Sardun, famed Jedi Crusader and Kaska's mentor, who sacrifices an eye to cauterize Haytham Kaze's corruption. Left conflicted, but feeling justified in his actions, Dagon embarks on a toiling journey to better discern the line between right and wrong.
While still ripped apart from within due to Haytham's spirit, Dagon not only joins the attack on Generis but persuades more Jedi to join him in his quest for justice against the Sith - notably Viers Connory, Viera, Violet Horne and Kaska Arden. The mission turns into a fiasco and his foolishness nearly costs the life of all of his companions, leaving Kaska in a bacta tank for an indefinite time, while being rescued by Violet and the enigmatic presence lingering within her. Regretful in his rash actions, the young Jedi Padawan retreats into a self-imposed exile briefly and inaudibly swears to go solo believing his leadership being an ingredient for disaster.
During the brief pause from the Stygian Campaign, there remains no respite for the raven-haired Jedi as he uncovers a conspiracy plot on Coruscant that would eventually lead him to Denon. However, before that, Dagon faces the growing threat of the so-called Brotherhood of the Maw. Fending off the crazed cultists on Jakku and along the rest of the Alliance's frontier with the Unknown Regions, he alerts both the Council and Senate of the impending threat. Around this period he meets Ayana Vullen with who he forms a strong, loving relationship which sees him at last turning the tide of the internal turmoil raging within his mind. The bond between the two intensifies greatly but fate once again seeks to take his most precious..
As the Maw raids upon the frontier decline, the Jedi finds himself on Ossus fighting the newly risen Sith Eternal as part of the Alliance's reinforcements to the Concord. The GADF unit he is attached to is the same combat element in which his lover Ayana serves as a medic. A foreboding sensation envelops him and it eventually manifests into reality - meeting his brother once more. In the brutal scuffle between the two, Dagon inadvertently plunges his blade through Ayana's heart in an attempt to stab Aeric. And just like before, the Jedi is left feeling alone in a galaxy that only promised to take all that he valued. A void opens up in his heart there where his beloved used to be and Dagon shuts his feelings to the universe fearful that any attachment he forms is damned to be shattered.
Eventually, Dagon manages to open up and confess what had transpired both over Ziost and on Ossus to his best friend Aeris Lashiec and his master Asmundr Varobalder - the legendary Warden of the New Jedi Order. Consoled and given hope by both, Dagon rediscovers once more the resolve he had lost but still treads carefully the line between the darkness and the light.
Prior to the relaunch of the Stygian Campaign, the Jedi follows a lead on the conspiracy plot he had been investigating to the corporate world of Denon. There, after an eventful attempt to go undercover within the ranks of a local gang, he meets Yula Perl - the daughter of the woman who had killed his father. Without any deliberate 'push' from each other, the two begin to form a bond that intensifies through the fire and flames of Csilla, Sev Tok and Nar Kreeta. By the time both could even acknowledge it, the duo's bond grows into an emotional relationship with Yula filling the void left behind by Ayana's death.
The culmination of these near 600 posts of writing the author has struggled (terribly) in summarizing comes at the Battle of Krayiss II, where Dagon is faced with yet another dilemma - abandoning Yula to her fate against her cousin, the formidable fallen Jedi Zaavik Perl or performing his duty to the Light carrying out his oath. With tears in his eyes, he (of course because drama) chooses the latter and joins his fellow New Jedi comrades into the heart of darkness that is the Library Temple of Krayiss II. There, both his friend Bernard of Arca and Dagon fall to the Dark Side with the latter ending up fully possessed by his father. In one last ditch effort - a suicidal one at that - Dagon channels his whole existence into the Light purging Bernard's corruption and Haytham's vengeful presence once and for all.
Thus comes the end of Chapter I with his father's spirit cleansed forever but with a new obstacle ahead - trying to strike a balance between his duty as a Jedi and his personal relationships.
One's bound to break.
Also he's a Jedi Knight now, nice. -

BROTHERS DIVIDED
Not a soul in the galaxy is closer to Dagon than his own twin brother - Aeric Kaze. When he disappeared one day from their home on Ruusan, Dagon believed his brother dead somewhere in the galaxy. Not long after, Dagon left for the stars seeking to become a Jedi and find his brother's whereabouts if alive. Discovering his brother is alive but corrupted by their father and fallen to the Dark Side, the two clash in a lethal scuffle twice - once on Ziost and once on Ossus. Left with only the painful revelation of his brother's fate, Dagon is torn whether there his brother could truly be redeemed or is he forever lost.
