Vrak Nashar
Character
The Dark Council is the ruling Body of Athiss and the Resurgent Empire. It has stood as a remnant of the Dark Council founded by The Sith Emperor Vitiate thousands of years ago. The Council is a more streamlined, efficient, and less temperamental version of the Council founded all those thousands of years ago. Though the Council is has in the past been dominated by Purebloods, it has not always been this way. Any being with sufficient power and strength is able to take a position on the Dark Council Itself achieved through either force of strength or guile and subterfuge.
There are five positions on the Council at any one time. Each of these positions rule over a specific Sphere of influence within the Resurgent Empire. Though sometimes these spheres cross with one another, the lines of power are clearly outlined. When the lines of power do cross it begs for cooperation, something that is usually forced by The Council as a whole in order for the betterment of the Sith in general.
The five seats are as followed;
Sphere of Education
Sphere of War
Sphere of Logistics
Sphere of Intelligence
Sphere of Domain
Sphere of Education: Lord Aril(Yidhra)
The Sphere of Education oversees the acquisition, training, and proper education of new Sith on Athiss. The Sphere of Education is perhaps not the most glamorous of the five but it is one of the most important.
The Councilor who oversees the Sphere of Education holds a tremendous amount of influence on the doctrine taught to new students. This is of course incredibly important and generally decides what a new generation of Sith is brought up learning. Over the centuries the Sphere of Education has proven itself to be one of the most uniquely powerful in it's own way. Though the Councilor holds no armies or fleets or spies, they are more than capable of guiding the events of the Empire simply through pushing students in the right direction.
It goes without saying that the Councilor who holds this position is generally a subtle figure, they are not brash or butchers, but instead taken in events with a certain sort of calm, calculating, and planning.
The Sphere of Education almost always works closely with all other Spheres due to it's nature of developing the Empire's growth.
Sphere of War: Lord Drakash
Over the centuries the Sphere of War has found itself in one of the most unique positions of all. Though once the most powerful of all the spheres, the actual nature of this domain tends to wax and wane with the will of the Council as a whole. Because Athiss has been in hiding for so long the Sphere of War is relatively small, though ever in expansion with the coming days of war.
The Sphere of War demands control of the Armies, Navies, and other military forces under the Empire's control. Though perhaps the most physically powerful of all the Spheres, there are certain checks on the Councilor who leads this domain, mainly provided by forces upon the rest of the Council. This provides a certain balance.
The Councilor who is in control of this domain is almost always a brash, confident, and rather brazen being. They are the bloodthirsty, those that wish to see the death of others and hail the superiority of the Sith. Though this is of course not always the case.
Due to it's nature, and it's control of the armies and navies of the Sphere of War almost always works closely with that of Logistics and Intelligence. These three Councilors are often the most closely associated, particularly that of Logistics and War.
Sphere of Logistics: Lord Niril
The least glamorous of all positions on the Council, though perhaps the most important. The Sphere of Logistics oversees the distribution of food, construction, and general supply to the entire Empire. This branch of the Council is not to be underestimated, it's simply nature is that of give and take. Without the sphere of Logistics entire planets can starve in a matter of days, with it, grow into jewels of the Empire.
The Sphere of Logistics is a terrible foe to have, as it is they who oversee the supply lines of the Empire itself.
It is no coincidence that the Councilor who oversees this Sphere is most often one of the richest in The Empire. The man, or woman, in charge of this domain tends to be well involved in lucrative trades throughout the Empire, their influence well known and their skill even more so. The running of this domain is incredibly complex, and it requires someone of extreme logical skills and intelligence.
The Sphere of Logistics most often works with that of War and Domain.
Sphere of Intelligence: Vrak Nashar
Perhaps the most dangerous and unpredictable of all the Spheres, the domain of Intelligence Oversees a great many aspects of the Empire and that outside of it. This is the only Sphere that conducts operations outside of the territory of the Empire, apart from War of course. The Sphere of Intelligence is as one might imagine an encompassing body of all spycraft, mysteries, and all sorts of other stories.
The Councilor of the Sphere of Intelligence is often one of the most feared within the Empire. They alone have a certain alluring power, a knowledge that is held closely and hidden away from others. It has long been said that a proper Councilor overseeing this Sphere is the one that pushes the Empire in the direction he pleases. Though the same could be said of any of the other Councilors, the more mysterious nature of this seat makes the story all the more plausible.
This seat is most often held by the most patient of Sith. The Man or Woman who is capable of logically taking in a situation and finding the best course of action for not only himself, but the Empire as a whole.
The Sphere of Intelligence works closely with all branches.
Sphere of Domain: Lord Sitas(Neesa)
The Sphere of Domain is most often regarded as the Keepers of the Empire. It is they who oversee the planets of the Empire itself, administer the Council's holdings, put down rebellions, and see that the crown worlds grow. It is they who rule over the Empire itself, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
Like with the Sphere of Intelligence, It is often claimed that the Councilor of Domain is the most powerful of all. The thought of this idea is simply that the position allows for a more direct control within the Empire than any other. Like with the Sphere of Education, the Councilor of Domain is effectively able to shape the Empire, pushing worlds into certain agendas and pressing the Empire in a way that suits them.
The Sphere of Domain is most often lead by a ambitious Sith. Those who would laud themselves as the strongest and most powerful. They tend to be brash, intelligent, but sometimes move without thinking. Ruling Sith worlds requires a certain amount of Terror and Respect that is not created easily.
The Sphere of Domain works most likely with that of Logistics and Education.
