APPEARANCE:
Once clad in heavy armour, Vereor now moves slower than he used to. Age meant little to adepts in the dark side. Coupled with the slow movement, many heavy battles throughout his life have rendered him completely different than how he used to look: he is scarred and pale with no notable sign of his zabrak ancestry left other than his accent. Now, Vereor prefers simpler, lighter robes of dark colours than the heavy, protective armours of his past.
BIOGRAPHY:
Life started on Iridonia for the boy known as Adredi Tarrik. He was a native Zabrak of the incredibly militaristic world. His father, Adrédi Tarrik, was a retired Knight of the Jedi Order, who had studied the Jedi arts for his entire life before meeting the woman he intended to spend the rest of his life with. It was some time before Jedi from his father’s Order came to take the child to be trained in the Jedi way, just as his father had done thirty years prior.
In the order, most memory of his parents were lost and replaced with those who became like a family to him – especially Adredi’s Jedi Master, a large, ginger cathar known as Cazer Kresh. The Padawan life treated him well: everything his master taught him sunk in well, including those skills of the Sentinel pathway. Together they were an unstoppable duo.
Adredi’s Knight Trials came early, too early in the eyes of his master. However-much the Council tried to reassure Cazer that the Padawan was ready for them, pleas against it taking place were never considered.
The Padawan never spotted his master at the Knighting ceremony, which was conducted by a Jedi Knight called Dravith Straife, nor did he again until many years after.
It was during these early months into being a Knight of the Jedi Order that extended members of Adredi’s family (most of whom were deeply rooted in a group of neutral Force-users known as the Shadow Jedi) created a catastrophe that brought shame upon the name of Tarrik. With this knowledge, and against better judgement, Adredi began to use the maiden name of his mother: Vadith. Since then he was known as Jedi Knight Adredi Vadith.
Years of continued training lead Adredi towards the Council – who at the time mostly consisted of influential Jedi Knights and few Masters – and later the Consulars, despite training with Guardian and Sentinel subclasses.
In the Consulars Adredi came to befriend zabrak Jedi Master Raith Dista, who taught Adredi many marvels in the Force – if only knowledge regarding their existence.
Following more years of training with and under various Jedi Knights and Masters throughout the Order and throughout the galaxy, Adredi’s moral and ethical relations to the Jedi were straining. Knowledge of further powers and abilities in the Force lead him into a spiral downwards starting with frustration.
He joined a Jedi known Iocus on a mission to apprehend a powerful Sith Lord and Master, Darth Occasus. Unfortunately the mission was an ambush, perpetrated by Iocus to pull a Jedi into the grasps of the Dark Side of the Force and to gain fervour in the eyes of the Order of the Sith. Iocus became master and Adredi became apprentice, under a new name of Micah Tarrik.
More months passed and, after gaining knowledge of the workings of the Dark Side and the Order in which he now pledged his allegiance, he grew increasingly impatient at the man who brought him there. Eventually, Iocus fell into ill-favour with a Sith known as Sohran Viscusz, who later had him assassinated and took the apprentice under his wing.
Under the tutelage of Viscusz, Micah learnt a number of advanced techniques that allowed him to become a major player in galactic-wide military operations of the growing Sith Empire.
The Dark Side, fuelled by the emotions Micah had once swore to deal with peacefully, aided his progression into a Warlord; commanding fleets and battalions of soldiers into battle alongside two Sith Masters.
Reigns and dynasties of Dark Lords had ended and begun, all of which meant little to the Warlord and his companions. A Dark Lord, known throughout the galaxy as Syphrus Vihasta, granted upon the Warlord the name Vereor and addressed him to the Empire as Master of the Sith. From then Vereor grew in physical strength and knowledge, beginning to rival the likes of Sith Marauder Darth Mendacium, despite the two having never clashed in battle.
Battles after battles left the Master scarred: vestigial horns (notable traits of the zabrak) were sliced one-by-one in different duels with various enemies of the Empire; lightning scars riddled his body as punishment from Syphrus and continuous use of the Dark Side left his skin pale. Shortly before his disappearance from the galaxy, the Warlord initiated rituals of ancient Sith Magics that had changed his body into that closely resembling a human's. The spells and magic removed the stubs of horns, the facial tattoos and scars that had once afflicted his appearance.
