'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent—the title of second-in-command—in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses obedience to authority and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, on the planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially, the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately used to benefit the speciesist' endeavors. When cunning failed to achieve the movement's goals, Caelius used his talents in the arts for the creation of propaganda. For years his radicalized behaviors persisted, and as Caelius reached college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his crafts for the cause. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professors described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lies within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the university, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six-year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet, he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally, he felt his experiences would allow him to build worlds befitting his visions. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the city development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] most appealed to Caelius's values. After an expedient application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short-lived, however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which he viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually, Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing the ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended, and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now-former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near-decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall galactic profile, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been comparatively nonexistent versus previous years.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three-day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three-piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friends. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17, the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member of Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second-closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever-changing and learning about one another." By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple was married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high regard, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life, he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience… power. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employ secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is the pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever present. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and the needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. Regarding small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. He has several additional notable assets, including: dominion over House Kaine and its various resources; his private battle, fleet, and work fleets; and a fighter collection that consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters.<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent—the title of second-in-command—in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses obedience to authority and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, on the planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially, the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately used to benefit the speciesist' endeavors. When cunning failed to achieve the movement's goals, Caelius used his talents in the arts for the creation of propaganda. For years his radicalized behaviors persisted, and as Caelius reached college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his crafts for the cause. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professors described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lies within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the university, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six-year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet, he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally, he felt his experiences would allow him to build worlds befitting his visions. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the city development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] most appealed to Caelius's values. After an expedient application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short-lived, however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which he viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually, Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing the ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended, and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now-former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near-decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall galactic profile, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been comparatively nonexistent versus previous years.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three-day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three-piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friends. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />
===Relationships===<br />

====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17, the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member of Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second-closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever-changing and learning about one another." By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple was married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />

{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high regard, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life, he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience… power. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employ secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is the pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and the needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall galactic profile, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been comparatively nonexistent versus previous years.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />

Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall galactic profile, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been comparatively nonexistent versus previous years.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />
===Relationships===<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />

Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall galactic profile, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been comparatively nonexistent versus previous years.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately, and eventually in general, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has occasionally attended well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall partcipation, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been significantly less than in previous similar events.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately, and eventually in general, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />

====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />

{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Ankha Natanaele''' (Y-9 D364 - Y14 D196) was a citizen of the [[New Republic]], Governor of [[Mytaranor_(Sector)|Messert]], Speaker of the [[New_Republic_Senate|Senate]], and Consul in the Republic Diplomacy Command. She received a variety of commendations, including the esteemed Chief of State's Medal, and was cited as the New Republic's "Sexiest Female" for [[Year 12]] and [[Year 13]]. Natanaele was noted for her staunch beliefs in sentient rights, and publicly promoted non-human and human equality. She also faced some controversy in the New Republic due to her fervent support of personal enterprise.<br />
<br />
Half [[Hapan]] and half [[Alderaanian]], Natanaele left [[Alderaan]] and began her career in [[Raptor Pirates]] before eventually joining the New Republic. Initially she joined [[New_Republic_Military#Starfighter_Command|Starfighter Command]] before transferring to [[New_Republic_Military#Navy_Command|Naval Command]] where she served for nearly two years. Disenchanted with the state of the military, she resigned her commission before focusing on her development efforts in Messert system. Disappearing from the galaxy in [[Year 14]], her whereabouts remained unknown until early [[Year 15]]. Natanaele was laid to rest on [[Vorsia Companion]]. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Childhood===<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: left; font-size: 11px;"<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:AnkhaChild.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, age five<br />
|}<br />
Natanaele was born in the city of [[Hapes (planet)|Ta'a Chume'Dan]]. However, her initial experience here was limited to only the first month of life, before she was taken to the art enriched city of Belleau-a-Lir, on planet [[Alderaan (Planet)|Alderaan]]. Her mother, Tatiana Natanaele (née Artemisia), was born of Belleau-a-Lir and brought Natanaele into the galaxy surrounded by design and music. Unlike Natanaele, Tatiana was a tiny woman of only 1.50m tall and cream skin; her hair was a fiery red which was beautifully contrasted by piercing crystal blue eyes. Her father, Guatier Natanaele, was from Ta'a Chume'Dan and had been raised as a young diplomat, eventually deciding to attend the University of Aldera so that he may live amongst the peaceful white Alderaanian city. A simple man, he towered above Tatiana and looked identical to his daughter with dark tresses, cream skin, and deep brown eyes. In Year -16 at the University of Alderaan, both as students, her parents would meet and fall in love; her father worked as a diplomatic assistant in the Aldera Royal Palace and her mother was an artist. They were married on Day 134 Year -14 and gave birth to Iovis Natanaele 284 days later. Five years after the birth of their son, their daughter, Ankha Natanaele was born.<br />
<br />
From an early age, her father had engrained the Hapan appreciation of beauty deeply into Natanaele's perception of the world and yet, she equally exhibited the natural eloquence and leadership found in the Alderaanian perspective. However, beneath her polished exterior stir a hunger for life which her home could never fulfill. To her, it was clear that her destiny lay beyond the paint brush and her gardens and while she knew she'd miss her home, at 19 she packed her things and left in the night. Grabbing a picture of her & her family, she left a note on her night stand which read, "I love you all but I love the idea of my future more. Goodbye. - Ankha"<br />
<br />
===The Middle Road===<br />
<br />
Aimlessly she wandered the universe, taking odd freelance job here & there. For a short time she was a Pirate, before that a thief, and previous to her thievery she was simply a dirty, starving young woman. It was the meshing of her naive childhood with this harsh reality which truly shaped Natanaele. Born from her everyday struggles, was a girl whom was externally beautiful, yet internally deadly. As a woman, she was mesmerizing, able to lure a chuckle from an Aleena and a purr from a Hutt. As a survivor, her will was relentless.<br />
<br />
The more corruption in the status quo she caused, the more the reality set in that inherently Natanaele was good-natured. Though able to cause destruction, she yearned to create beauty. It was with this revelation that she joined the New Republic, and promised to combat all the pain and suffering caused by both herself and others. A new day had come, and though in the scheme of things she was extraordinarily ordinary, she vowed to herself to make better decisions while the choices were still her's to make.<br />
<br />
===The New Republic===<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: right; font-size: 11px;"<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, in SFC<br />
|}<br />
After graduating from the New Republic Academy, Natanaele's initial primary contribution was to the public relations of NR citizens through art. Beyond her artistry, Natanaele served as a dedicated, willing, and capable Starfighter Command soldier. However, the then SFC officer felt that her military passions weren’t being given the space to flourish amongst the constant influx of flight-men and women. With the realization that her dedication would better serve a different military branch, Natanaele requested a transfer into the Naval Command. Though she couldn't walk away from flight all together she knew that in the Navy, she could accomplish more in the name of her government. After some time High Admiral Jericho and High Marshal Nightsky approved her branch transfer, making Natanaele a Naval Ensign.<br />
<br />
===Beyond Military Life===<br />
<br />
Aside from her military and art careers, Natanaele wanted to contribute more to the New Republic. With this hope of further accomplishment, she submitted an application to join the republic morale group, ARGH!, and was soon accepted. Additionally, Academy Headmaster Vice Marshal Wedge Achilles saw this enthusiasm and extended an invitation to join the [[New Republic Academy]] as a General Military and Naval Instructor. Without hesitation she accepted the position offer and hopped directly into the daily ebb & flow of the Academy inner workings. Immediately she updated both the Naval & General military curriculum; unsurprisingly she also began large scale beautification projects for the Academy Trade Station.<br />
<br />
With a renewed dedication to both her personal and professional life, her productivity seemingly tripled and her hunger for knowledge & responsibility followed. This boom in devotion was not left unnoticed and soon thereafter Natanaele was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. As time passed the spurt in ardency continued in every facet of her life and with with renewed enthusiasm, she applied to join the Republic Diplomacy Command. After nervously awaiting news for what felt like light years, she was informed that her application had been accepted and that she soon would attend the RDC Academy as its newest Cadet. Though Natanaele's life already seemingly overflowed with actualizations of childhood dreams, as an additional advancement to her career, she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at the following Battlegroup meeting, with the date of effect approximately 30 days prior to the meeting.<br />
<br />
As a Cadet of the Republic Diplomacy Command Academy, Ankha advanced with the quickness and proficiency she had applied to the rest of her life. While a student, her eye for details and near tyrannical appreciation of Galactic Basic caught many small, almost unnoticeable, errors in the classroom curriculum, seemingly garnering the attention and appreciation of both High Ambassador [[Cheda Quche]] and Executive Ambassador Andrew Harris. Though she had always done her best to aid the New Republic in all ways, the ability to directly affect the relationships of other factions & governments with the New Republic offered a new sphere of influence which Natanaele found impossible to deny. With this diplomatic state of mind, Natanaele also began petitioning NATs & GA factions to help bolster the inventory of ARGH!. Not only was she able to secure quite a bit on behalf of the NR but this too was noticed by ARGH! Leader Geran Nighshadow, who promoted Natanaele to the role of ARGH! Quartermaster & Second in-command.<br />
<br />
===Recognition Abounds===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Commendation Display<br />
|}<br />
After working at the New Republic Academy as a Military Instructor for 156 days, Natanaele was promoted from an O-1 position to an O-4 within the Academy. The Academy had been under going major restructuring; within that restructured hierarchy Headmaster Ruben Wan saw fit to promote various Military Instructors and Civilian Teachers. Three days prior to her Academy promotion, [[Taka Aioko|Chief of State Aioko]] and Headmaster Wan had awarded her the "Studious Endeavours Award" for her high aptitude for study, excellence in exams, and willingness to make academic suggestions to the curriculum for the future. It was as if her Academy role had come full circle. Almost immediately following, she was also awarded the Republic Readiness Award by her Group Commander for displaying an exceptional level of readiness and preparation for battle. Effectively, it was an eruption of success in her short yet rewarding career as a New Republic Naval Officer. <br />
<br />
===An Identity Crisis===<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele had forged a place for herself in the New Republic, as she matured so did her longing for the ways of Alderaan - she had always appreciated the democratic ideals on which the New Republic was formed, after all despite its Monarchical structure Alderaan did have democratic practices, but she couldn't help but crave the Houses and the way in which they bonded the people. <br />
<br />
Thirsting for this structure, Natanaele foraged through her many texts hoping to find something similar. After some time she stumbled upon the government of [[The Avance Coalition]] and the structure which it held. It too was comprised of Houses though these were formed not necessarily by blood but of bond. <br />
<br />
Most intriguing was [[House Valeo]] and a section of their written code, "We will become keepers of knowledge and lore." As an artist, Natanaele placed most of her worldly value in the texts which were housed upon her ship and the cultural enrichment which enshrined her. House Valeo not only placed these same beliefs on a pedestal but steadily worked to increase their own cultural footprint, thus, she immediately applied for Avancian citizenship, and with zero haste, House Valeo Nobility. Interviewed by Twi'lek Valeo Seeker, [[Dinek Komad]], Natanaele explained her hunger for both a place within a House but also for knowledge. Concluding their interview she waited for news of her acceptance or denial and a mere five days later Natanaele learned that not only had the Noble Senators of House Valeo accepted her into their ranks, but that they had done so unanimously.<br />
<br />
===Uncharted Lands===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | AN Helicon on Droecil<br />
|}<br />
Though Natanaele had consigned to the often civilian nature of her job, as the galaxy settled into its cosmic shift & new planets were born from the stars, she knew she'd need to put her piloting skills to good use in the proliferation of New Republic freedom across the universe. Over the course of many days she aided the [[Freedom Warriors]] in securing the [[Droecil (System)|Boeus sector]] from the tyranny of the enemies of the republic, earning herself the Droecil Participant Award from the Freedom Warriors command staff. At one point standing toe-to-toe with the traitorous Amun Sokar, the Naval officer was in the mud with her fellow brethren, military branches tossed aside as she worked to increase the quality of life for all citizens of this new world. On her return to New Republic space, she was shocked to find that her allies, the [[Triumvirate Coalition]], had located another new sector and her trudge for freedom would continue. In a crucial campaign she and many of her fellow Republicans, civilian & military alike, strove to ensure the absence of oppression in the [[Celegia (System)|Celegia]] & [[Balamak (System)|Balamak]] systems. This time with orders more fitting of a Naval officer, Natanaele assured construction continued by bringing in hoards of eager builders, some of whom would lose their lives in their goal of freeing fellow sentients from the brutality of other governments. <br />
<br />
===A Burgeoning Career===<br />
<br />
As a result of her dedication to the New Republic & her allies, the Freedom Warriors engraved Natanaele's name, amongst others involved, on a Participant Trophy, whilst the Triumvirate Coalition awarded Natanaele with two operational ribbons: Operation Celegia & Operation Balamak. Following a new moon, Chief of State Aioko awarded those involved, with the Chief of State's Medal and the Friendship Award. With a sincere sense of pride and a hope to continue her contributions, Natanaele humbly accepted her ribbons with an ingrained feeling of duty to her Chief of State, and a deeply founded respect for the Triumvirate Coalition's High Command.<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele continued with her military duties in normal form, a short time later her Group Commanding Officer called a meeting, the reasoning beyond a general status report unknown. While operational status was discussed, the ending focus was final commencement of medals which had been earned through the sweat, blood, and tears lost on Balamak and Celegia. Awarded with the Group Commander's Citation by her Commanding Officer and the Meritorious Unit Medal by High Marshal Lance Nightsky, her military career met its magnum opus as her lapel was now adorned with recognition by each of her superiors. To add onto her military success she also qualified for the "Expert Pilot" skill badge a short time later.<br />
<br />
===The Political Realm===<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly disenfranchised with the state of the [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] in the year she had served as a Naval Officer, once the Y13 D260 elections neared Natanaele decided that she would run for one of the five contested seats. Everything she had heard of the position was negative and the Senatorial influence on the citizens of the republic had deeply troubled her, but duty insisted that she run.<br />
<br />
Delivering a passionate speech about the Senate and the necessary changes it required in order to continue as a functioning branch of the government, Natanaele began her campaign on a positive note. Though it was rifled with the customary political hecklers, and there were the occasional tensions between she and her fellow candidates, as the final votes filed in, it became clear that Natanaele would serve the next year as a Senator. <br />
<br />

| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:AnkhaSpeech.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" |Natanaele, accepting her nomination<br />
|}<br />
Almost immediately, fellow Senator Galen Darksol messaged Natanaele to gauge her interest in the Speaker position. Admittedly fearful of potential failings, she initially declined. This would be her first session, and her goal was and had been the success of the Republic via the Senate - the last thing she hoped for was procedural failings of the Senate, caused by her incompetence. However, after conversation with former Speakers and encouragement of her fellows the nervous Hapalderaanian accepted the responsibility of the position, and in Senator Darksol's stead, Senator Gryffyn Grayurra nominated her for the position.<br />
<br />
With a new found confidence in her potential as a Senator, Natanaele was successfully elected to the Speaker position and nearly immediately she began her administrative duties. Though initially, she had missteps here and there, after a little under a month in office she had settled into her position and began more vocally discussing the policy issues of the New Republic. It was clear that this Senate's focus would be on the trimming of unnecessary legislation, and for that she was thankful.<br />
<br />
Additionally, almost immediately, the confirmations of three Governors arrived upon the desks of the Senators, Natanaele's appointment as Governor of [[Mytaranor (Sector)|Messert]] being among them. After small discussion, with an Abstain from Natanaele, she was appointed as Governor to the system which she had learned to call home. Senatorial duties aside, she had not forgotten her other positions and as a reward to Natanaele's consistently diligent behavior, High Ambassador Cheda Quche promoted Natanaele to a Senior Staff position, Vice Pro Consul.<br />
<br />
===A Future in Command===<br />
<br />
As weeks passed, Natanaele continued down her path of hard work and dedication to the Republic, and though nothing particularly exciting had happened nonetheless she toiled for her government. However, this lull in activity would soon change quickly and with force.<br />
<br />
Early in Y14, then Interim High Ambassador Andrew Harris announced that the young diplomat had been promoted to the position of Pro Consul. Given the historically slow promotion rate of the military, and what she expected would be an uneventful future in her Naval career, this served as a boost to personal morale. Coupled with Natanaele's promotion, was her chance to lead an RDC Project Team. This would prove to be her first chance at leading a group within the New Republic, as she and her team tackled diplomacy with a vast group of neutral governments and companies.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele with Cheda Quche, celebrating her ARGH! appointment<br />
|}<br />
Two days following, this trend would continue as Chief of State Cheda Quche announced that Natanaele would be placed as the first-in-command of the Ambassadors for Rollicking and Good Humor. Since the disappearance of it's technical leader, Natanaele had run the group without having any of the authority to lead her fellow members. This had meant that she did a great deal of work while her fellows looked for someone to guide them. Within the next week and a half however, this lack of focus had made a complete turnaround: the only people who were in the group were there to actively contribute, bonuses had been arranged for hard work, and as a team they would focus on the morale for the Republic.<br />
<br />
Feeling a refreshed sense of belonging, this blossoming of personal activity continued on the following day when High Ambassador Harris promoted Natanaele to leader of the Republic News Network. This meant that Natanaele would be charged with commanding the news arm of the New Republic, their core purpose being the enhancement of the galaxy via the distribution of high-quality news, information and entertainment. And yet again, to couple her position as leader of RNN, a few days later Natanaele would be promoted to the position of Ambassador. Not only had RDC been the origin of her first command position, but it also proved to be her first command rank. In addition to her promotion, she was awarded the High Ambassador's Citation for the negotiation of the release of a New Republican who had been imprisoned.<br />
<br />
===Refocusing===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D80, Natanaele received personal news which effected her passions deeply. Up to this point she had worked vehemently for the New Republic, exerting herself in a manner far beyond that of her fellows so that she may help drive the Republic forward as more than the average citizen. However, the news created a crisis within herself which eventually led to the resignation from many of her positions: Ambassador in RDC, Professor in the Academy, and Uberjester of ARGH. After further consideration of her priorities, Natanaele also decided to end her intimate relationship with long-time romantic partner, [[Lukastar Narvaka]]. Instead she made the choice to focus only on the basics of the Navy and Governorship, and to continue her Senate term faithfully as promised to New Republic sentients during campaigning. Ironically, in Natanaele's effort to refocus and the resulting abundance of free time, she found herself strengthening her friendship with the enigmatic [[Lilith Delcroix|Countess Lilith Delcroix of Vorsia]], one of her former Diplomatic contacts. Many months before the two had hit it off nearly instantly, and following Natanaele's resignations and a whirlwind week between the two women it seemed that Natanaele's romantic refocus had gone much further than she had initially imagined. <br />
<br />
Though only half Hapan, Natanaele had received the genes for the night blindness which plagued the Hapan people. Doctor Jay Ceveri of [[The Medical Circle]] had proposed a corrective surgery in which he would implant cybernetic rods into her retina; activated only in poor lighting conditions he estimated that it would double her low light photoreception. However, as with all operations there were some drawbacks to the previously untested medical procedure. Given the cybernetic activation process and the the resulting energy glow, he warned that the rods would be visible upon activation, entirely changing her ocular appearance. More worrisome though, he further warned that if the surgery were to fail, Natanaele could risk permanent low light blindness, debilitating her eyesight far beyond Hapan vision. After careful consideration, she decided that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks and in a more literal refocus, on Y14 D104 Natanaele underwent the cybernetic operation which was successfully completed the following day. <br />
<br />
During her lull in responsibility, Natanaele began to contemplate her future with the New Republic and how best she could serve its ideals. Her personal opinion of military effectiveness had declined a great deal and yet her role as Governor in the Ministry of Civil Engineering had provided a renewed sense of purpose. After serious consideration and a week spent in a decision making process, she decided to resign her commission in the New Republic military and to instead focus full time on her Governorship, with the intent of joining the Ministry of Natural Resources via working for JUGANOTH Mining Corporation once she had fully developed Messert system. With further deliberation, she also decided that having resigned from Republic Diplomacy Command was a mistake, and she immediately sought back her position, being re-accepted at the rank of Consul. <br />
<br />
===A Close Call===<br />
<br />
For approximately a week beginning on Y4D111, Natanaele had visited Vorsia Companion, the territory owned and governed by her partner, in order to better acquaint herself with a world which would likely become a significant part of her life. While some of their time was spent in Bloodthrone Palace and the more grandiose estates, the majority of the trip was focused on exploring the world beyond the tourist experience, including both the industrialized cities which towered over the jungles of Vorsia and the small townships hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the green planetoid. Though her health had declined somewhat towards the end of the trip, Natanaele assumed it was the vast change in air composition and that her health would normalize upon return to Messert. <br />
<br />
Her assumption proved false when after a day back in her home system, her health had declined enough that she sought hospitalization. After having comprehensive blood tests run she was informed that she had contracted the Diathim strain of the Derra virus at some point during her sightseeing. Fortunately due to the virus having been tested extensively following its pandemic and her expediency in seeking medical aid she had saved herself from the gruesome physical mutation which would have otherwise inevitably decimated her natural form. Receiving a full course of a Derra virus post-exposure prophylaxis she was able to avoid the seroconversion of the infection, halting its progress entirely. Though her genetic code would permanently include immunological memory of the virus, the outbreak was stopped ensuring no significant genetic modification.<br />

<br />
===A Physical & Emotional Rechristening===<br />
<br />
After having spent approximately three months free of the shackles of military service, Natanaele had focused a great deal of time on getting her personal affairs organized. Though this had taken some focus away from her Governorship, she continued to manage the system, ensuring it maintained constant development. On a trip to the southern sectors, close friend Robby Rae, owner of FreiTek Inc., gifted a Namana-class Light Cruiser to Natanaele as a show of humility and selflessness. Rechristened as the "AN ''Tsek''", the ship underwent heavy modifications all designed and remotely managed by Delcroix, leading to its assignment as the AN fleet's flagship.<br />
<br />
The trip in which the Namana exchanged ownership, had initially been earmarked as both professional and personal; though Natanaele planned to retrieve a Modular Taskforce Cruiser which had recently completed production, she had also intended on the vacation to serve as a sabbatical to explore the B`omarr Monastery, in addition to other smaller goals. For this furlough, Delcroix had accompanied Natanaele, which led to a plan to propose to Delcroix on her birthday while visiting a center of faith. However, after having been delayed in Callos for longer than was anticipated, Delcroix' birthday fell on a day during one of the many small hyperspace jumps. Having planned on proposing on her birthday for some time, Natanaele followed her initial plan and asked Delcroix for her hand, leading to a swift marriage. <br />
<br />
===Galactic Resignation===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D196, Ankha Natanaele experienced significant ship malfunctions on one of her many fighters, while conducting a semi-routine study of the surrounding galactic areas. Immediately she broadcast a message to the people of the Republic in which she retired from all positions, the contents of which are archived within their holocron. More importantly however, she spent her final moments in sub-space communications with her wife. Though only Lilith Delcroix-Natanaele knows the entirety of what was said, some snippets were received on the communicators of nearby ships:<br />
<br />
I love you ... not one or two things ... <br />
absolutely everything about you ... you are perfect <br />
and that ... My feelings ... were instant ... best thing <br />
that happened to me ... your wife.<br />
<br />
This was the last communication received from Natanaele.<br />
<br />

Natanaele’s memorial service was on Year 15 Day 15 <ref name="Natanaele Memorial">[http://lilith.kaine.us/gearworks_forum/index.php?topic=599.0 Natanaele Memorial]</ref>, attended only by her spouse Delcroix-Natanaele. The private ceremony was held in the first Vorsian cathedral after a months-long search mission found Natanaele’s derelict freighter drifting among an uncharted asteroid field. The exact cause of malfunction was impossible to determine but it was clear the ship’s systems failed completely, including the life support. Natanaele’s frozen body was preserved in a sealed vacuum chamber deep within the cathedral’s catacombs. Access is highly restricted but the hallway leading to the tomb is marked by Natanaele’s image and name, where respects can be paid to the late Senator, Governor and wife.<br />

|}<br />
Due to Natanaele's artistic unique skill set, early in her New Republic citizenship a rapport had begun with then Director of the NRI & Naval Commodore Lukastar Narvaka, who had commissioned her work on his new personal venture. Initially their relationship was of only a business nature though after long hours spent together, huddled closely around a drafting table as they tediously combed through ideas and suggestions, their time led to the beginnings of a close friendship and eventually a romantic relationship. <br />
<br />
Having dated for much of Natanaele's early New Republic career, their relationship was not without innumerable conflicts. Two outstandingly opinionated individuals, and each involved in various facets of the Republic government, their differences in opinions, age, and time amongst New Republic sentients often ended in muted matches of intransigent will. Still, their mutual respect for one another had managed to overcome the difficulties of their professional positioning. However, following Natanaele's decision to separate herself from all auxiliary distractions, and to instead focus on the basics, she decided to part ways romantically with Lukastar hoping that their close friendship would continue.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, despite her initial intentions to simplify all things in her life it seemed that fortune had instead planned for something quite different. Having been assigned as the New Republic Ambassador to [[Dark Skies Gearworks]] in late Y13, Natanaele had the pleasure of working alongside Forgemaster Lilith Delcroix. During their first diplomatic conversations, their discussion ebbed and flowed drastically between the personal and professional, cementing the beginnings of a friendship. <br />
<br />
After resigning from half of her secondary positions in Y14, Delcroix provided a sounding board and companion for Natanaele while she adjusted to a much quieter and exponentially slower paced life. Once again almost immediately, Natanaele found herself quite drawn to the petite Hapan woman, though now unattached romantically it seemed her attentions had noticed Delcroix in a way far different from her initial impression. After only a week of daily conversation, the young woman served as the sole focus of Natanaele's infatuations eventually leading to a swiftly begun and yet wholly fulfilling relationship with someone Natanaele's junior in both age and stature.<br />
<br />
While their relationship had begun quickly, it seemed its progression would be just as expedited. After a nearly three-month courtship, Natanaele proposed to Delcroix during birthday celebrations while in hyperspace. Given Natanaele's aversion to wedding ceremonies and their often unnecessary pomp and circumstance, she immediately updated her personnel file within the New Republic archives, making their marriage instantaneously official. <br />
<br />

|}<br />
Standing at 1.80m tall, Natanaele was a slender bispecial Hapan/Alderaanian female of 23 years, with dark chestnut hair which melded strikingly with her pale skin. While working she wore a custom made jumpsuit, emblazoned with the New Republic symbol, and a metallic visor which served as a HUD. When personal protection was required however, she used a custom set of Heavy Battle Armour which proudly sported a metallic sheen beneath New Republic red, blue, and gold. Always, a thick dark hooded force robe laid upon her shoulders swaying around her figure.<br />
<br />
When casually dressed, fashion rather than suitability was more of a concern. Regardless of what she was wearing, vibroblades laid neatly tucked away completely unseen by the untrained eye. Often she also had a ELG-3A hidden on her person though she only used it in cases of long-distance emergency, where her melee skills could not help her. She was never without her onyx wedding band. A woman who physically portrayed strength and natural ability, there was a subtle yet unyielding air of mystery and inescapable beauty which surrounded her. At most times, a sly smile and raised eyebrow could be seen etched across her face.<br />
<br />
===Pastimes===<br />
<br />
Despite her career, Natanaele was always an artist. Originally her artistry was in the physical realm (painting, sketching, etc), before growing into holo-art. Since joining the military her favorite art-form has been designing and painting her personal collection of ships, vehicles, and armor; every collection item had a New Republic custom. For viewing, her collection was housed in her Palace on Messert III.<br />
<br />
In addition to art, Natanaele spent much of her time expanding upon her general knowledge: cultural, musical, or otherwise. Because of this hunger for knowledge, a room in her BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, AN Helicon, was converted into a full scale library which housed various rare and interesting books. AN Helicon was chosen simply because it was the most used ship in her personal armada. Due to the nature of the literature, she had a full-time Librarian who constantly tended to the collection. <br />

<br />
'''Ankha Natanaele''' (Y-9 D364 - Y14 D196) was a citizen of the [[New Republic]], Governor of [[Mytaranor_(Sector)|Messert]], Speaker of the [[New_Republic_Senate|Senate]], and Consul in the Republic Diplomacy Command. She received a variety of commendations, including the esteemed Chief of State's Medal, and was cited as the New Republic's "Sexiest Female" for [[Year 12]] and [[Year 13]]. Natanaele was noted for her staunch beliefs in sentient rights, and publicly promoted non-human and human equality. She also faced some controversy in the New Republic due to her fervent support of personal enterprise.<br />
<br />
Half [[Hapan]] and half [[Alderaanian]], Natanaele left [[Alderaan]] and began her career in [[Raptor Pirates]] before eventually joining the New Republic. Initially she joined [[New_Republic_Military#Starfighter_Command|Starfighter Command]] before transferring to [[New_Republic_Military#Navy_Command|Naval Command]] where she served for nearly two years. Disenchanted with the state of the military, she resigned her commission before focusing on her development efforts in Messert system. Disappearing from the galaxy in [[Year 14]], her whereabouts remained unknown until early [[Year 15]]. Natanaele was laid to rest on [[Vorsia Companion]]. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Childhood===<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: left; font-size: 11px;"<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:AnkhaChild.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, age five<br />
|}<br />
Natanaele was born in the city of [[Hapes (planet)|Ta'a Chume'Dan]]. However, her initial experience here was limited to only the first month of life, before she was taken to the art enriched city of Belleau-a-Lir, on planet [[Alderaan (Planet)|Alderaan]]. Her mother, Tatiana Natanaele (née Artemisia), was born of Belleau-a-Lir and brought Natanaele into the galaxy surrounded by design and music. Unlike Natanaele, Tatiana was a tiny woman of only 1.50m tall and cream skin; her hair was a fiery red which was beautifully contrasted by piercing crystal blue eyes. Her father, Guatier Natanaele, was from Ta'a Chume'Dan and had been raised as a young diplomat, eventually deciding to attend the University of Aldera so that he may live amongst the peaceful white Alderaanian city. A simple man, he towered above Tatiana and looked identical to his daughter with dark tresses, cream skin, and deep brown eyes. In Year -16 at the University of Alderaan, both as students, her parents would meet and fall in love; her father worked as a diplomatic assistant in the Aldera Royal Palace and her mother was an artist. They were married on Day 134 Year -14 and gave birth to Iovis Natanaele 284 days later. Five years after the birth of their son, their daughter, Ankha Natanaele was born.<br />
<br />
From an early age, her father had engrained the Hapan appreciation of beauty deeply into Natanaele's perception of the world and yet, she equally exhibited the natural eloquence and leadership found in the Alderaanian perspective. However, beneath her polished exterior stir a hunger for life which her home could never fulfill. To her, it was clear that her destiny lay beyond the paint brush and her gardens and while she knew she'd miss her home, at 19 she packed her things and left in the night. Grabbing a picture of her & her family, she left a note on her night stand which read, "I love you all but I love the idea of my future more. Goodbye. - Ankha"<br />
<br />
===The Middle Road===<br />
<br />
Aimlessly she wandered the universe, taking odd freelance job here & there. For a short time she was a Pirate, before that a thief, and previous to her thievery she was simply a dirty, starving young woman. It was the meshing of her naive childhood with this harsh reality which truly shaped Natanaele. Born from her everyday struggles, was a girl whom was externally beautiful, yet internally deadly. As a woman, she was mesmerizing, able to lure a chuckle from an Aleena and a purr from a Hutt. As a survivor, her will was relentless.<br />
<br />
The more corruption in the status quo she caused, the more the reality set in that inherently Natanaele was good-natured. Though able to cause destruction, she yearned to create beauty. It was with this revelation that she joined the New Republic, and promised to combat all the pain and suffering caused by both herself and others. A new day had come, and though in the scheme of things she was extraordinarily ordinary, she vowed to herself to make better decisions while the choices were still her's to make.<br />
<br />
===The New Republic===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, in SFC<br />
|}<br />
After graduating from the New Republic Academy, Natanaele's initial primary contribution was to the public relations of NR citizens through art. Beyond her artistry, Natanaele served as a dedicated, willing, and capable Starfighter Command soldier. However, the then SFC officer felt that her military passions weren’t being given the space to flourish amongst the constant influx of flight-men and women. With the realization that her dedication would better serve a different military branch, Natanaele requested a transfer into the Naval Command. Though she couldn't walk away from flight all together she knew that in the Navy, she could accomplish more in the name of her government. After some time High Admiral Jericho and High Marshal Nightsky approved her branch transfer, making Natanaele a Naval Ensign.<br />
<br />
===Beyond Military Life===<br />
<br />
Aside from her military and art careers, Natanaele wanted to contribute more to the New Republic. With this hope of further accomplishment, she submitted an application to join the republic morale group, ARGH!, and was soon accepted. Additionally, Academy Headmaster Vice Marshal Wedge Achilles saw this enthusiasm and extended an invitation to join the [[New Republic Academy]] as a General Military and Naval Instructor. Without hesitation she accepted the position offer and hopped directly into the daily ebb & flow of the Academy inner workings. Immediately she updated both the Naval & General military curriculum; unsurprisingly she also began large scale beautification projects for the Academy Trade Station.<br />
<br />
With a renewed dedication to both her personal and professional life, her productivity seemingly tripled and her hunger for knowledge & responsibility followed. This boom in devotion was not left unnoticed and soon thereafter Natanaele was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. As time passed the spurt in ardency continued in every facet of her life and with with renewed enthusiasm, she applied to join the Republic Diplomacy Command. After nervously awaiting news for what felt like light years, she was informed that her application had been accepted and that she soon would attend the RDC Academy as its newest Cadet. Though Natanaele's life already seemingly overflowed with actualizations of childhood dreams, as an additional advancement to her career, she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at the following Battlegroup meeting, with the date of effect approximately 30 days prior to the meeting.<br />
<br />
As a Cadet of the Republic Diplomacy Command Academy, Ankha advanced with the quickness and proficiency she had applied to the rest of her life. While a student, her eye for details and near tyrannical appreciation of Galactic Basic caught many small, almost unnoticeable, errors in the classroom curriculum, seemingly garnering the attention and appreciation of both High Ambassador [[Cheda Quche]] and Executive Ambassador Andrew Harris. Though she had always done her best to aid the New Republic in all ways, the ability to directly affect the relationships of other factions & governments with the New Republic offered a new sphere of influence which Natanaele found impossible to deny. With this diplomatic state of mind, Natanaele also began petitioning NATs & GA factions to help bolster the inventory of ARGH!. Not only was she able to secure quite a bit on behalf of the NR but this too was noticed by ARGH! Leader Geran Nighshadow, who promoted Natanaele to the role of ARGH! Quartermaster & Second in-command.<br />
<br />
===Recognition Abounds===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Commendation Display<br />
|}<br />
After working at the New Republic Academy as a Military Instructor for 156 days, Natanaele was promoted from an O-1 position to an O-4 within the Academy. The Academy had been under going major restructuring; within that restructured hierarchy Headmaster Ruben Wan saw fit to promote various Military Instructors and Civilian Teachers. Three days prior to her Academy promotion, [[Taka Aioko|Chief of State Aioko]] and Headmaster Wan had awarded her the "Studious Endeavours Award" for her high aptitude for study, excellence in exams, and willingness to make academic suggestions to the curriculum for the future. It was as if her Academy role had come full circle. Almost immediately following, she was also awarded the Republic Readiness Award by her Group Commander for displaying an exceptional level of readiness and preparation for battle. Effectively, it was an eruption of success in her short yet rewarding career as a New Republic Naval Officer. <br />
<br />
===An Identity Crisis===<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele had forged a place for herself in the New Republic, as she matured so did her longing for the ways of Alderaan - she had always appreciated the democratic ideals on which the New Republic was formed, after all despite its Monarchical structure Alderaan did have democratic practices, but she couldn't help but crave the Houses and the way in which they bonded the people. <br />
<br />
Thirsting for this structure, Natanaele foraged through her many texts hoping to find something similar. After some time she stumbled upon the government of [[The Avance Coalition]] and the structure which it held. It too was comprised of Houses though these were formed not necessarily by blood but of bond. <br />
<br />
Most intriguing was [[House Valeo]] and a section of their written code, "We will become keepers of knowledge and lore." As an artist, Natanaele placed most of her worldly value in the texts which were housed upon her ship and the cultural enrichment which enshrined her. House Valeo not only placed these same beliefs on a pedestal but steadily worked to increase their own cultural footprint, thus, she immediately applied for Avancian citizenship, and with zero haste, House Valeo Nobility. Interviewed by Twi'lek Valeo Seeker, [[Dinek Komad]], Natanaele explained her hunger for both a place within a House but also for knowledge. Concluding their interview she waited for news of her acceptance or denial and a mere five days later Natanaele learned that not only had the Noble Senators of House Valeo accepted her into their ranks, but that they had done so unanimously.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
Though Natanaele had consigned to the often civilian nature of her job, as the galaxy settled into its cosmic shift & new planets were born from the stars, she knew she'd need to put her piloting skills to good use in the proliferation of New Republic freedom across the universe. Over the course of many days she aided the [[Freedom Warriors]] in securing the [[Droecil (System)|Boeus sector]] from the tyranny of the enemies of the republic, earning herself the Droecil Participant Award from the Freedom Warriors command staff. At one point standing toe-to-toe with the traitorous Amun Sokar, the Naval officer was in the mud with her fellow brethren, military branches tossed aside as she worked to increase the quality of life for all citizens of this new world. On her return to New Republic space, she was shocked to find that her allies, the [[Triumvirate Coalition]], had located another new sector and her trudge for freedom would continue. In a crucial campaign she and many of her fellow Republicans, civilian & military alike, strove to ensure the absence of oppression in the [[Celegia (System)|Celegia]] & [[Balamak (System)|Balamak]] systems. This time with orders more fitting of a Naval officer, Natanaele assured construction continued by bringing in hoards of eager builders, some of whom would lose their lives in their goal of freeing fellow sentients from the brutality of other governments. <br />
<br />
===A Burgeoning Career===<br />
<br />
As a result of her dedication to the New Republic & her allies, the Freedom Warriors engraved Natanaele's name, amongst others involved, on a Participant Trophy, whilst the Triumvirate Coalition awarded Natanaele with two operational ribbons: Operation Celegia & Operation Balamak. Following a new moon, Chief of State Aioko awarded those involved, with the Chief of State's Medal and the Friendship Award. With a sincere sense of pride and a hope to continue her contributions, Natanaele humbly accepted her ribbons with an ingrained feeling of duty to her Chief of State, and a deeply founded respect for the Triumvirate Coalition's High Command.<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele continued with her military duties in normal form, a short time later her Group Commanding Officer called a meeting, the reasoning beyond a general status report unknown. While operational status was discussed, the ending focus was final commencement of medals which had been earned through the sweat, blood, and tears lost on Balamak and Celegia. Awarded with the Group Commander's Citation by her Commanding Officer and the Meritorious Unit Medal by High Marshal Lance Nightsky, her military career met its magnum opus as her lapel was now adorned with recognition by each of her superiors. To add onto her military success she also qualified for the "Expert Pilot" skill badge a short time later.<br />
<br />
===The Political Realm===<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly disenfranchised with the state of the [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] in the year she had served as a Naval Officer, once the Y13 D260 elections neared Natanaele decided that she would run for one of the five contested seats. Everything she had heard of the position was negative and the Senatorial influence on the citizens of the republic had deeply troubled her, but duty insisted that she run.<br />
<br />
Delivering a passionate speech about the Senate and the necessary changes it required in order to continue as a functioning branch of the government, Natanaele began her campaign on a positive note. Though it was rifled with the customary political hecklers, and there were the occasional tensions between she and her fellow candidates, as the final votes filed in, it became clear that Natanaele would serve the next year as a Senator. <br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" |Natanaele, accepting her nomination<br />
|}<br />
Almost immediately, fellow Senator Galen Darksol messaged Natanaele to gauge her interest in the Speaker position. Admittedly fearful of potential failings, she initially declined. This would be her first session, and her goal was and had been the success of the Republic via the Senate - the last thing she hoped for was procedural failings of the Senate, caused by her incompetence. However, after conversation with former Speakers and encouragement of her fellows the nervous Hapalderaanian accepted the responsibility of the position, and in Senator Darksol's stead, Senator Gryffyn Grayurra nominated her for the position.<br />
<br />
With a new found confidence in her potential as a Senator, Natanaele was successfully elected to the Speaker position and nearly immediately she began her administrative duties. Though initially, she had missteps here and there, after a little under a month in office she had settled into her position and began more vocally discussing the policy issues of the New Republic. It was clear that this Senate's focus would be on the trimming of unnecessary legislation, and for that she was thankful.<br />
<br />
Additionally, almost immediately, the confirmations of three Governors arrived upon the desks of the Senators, Natanaele's appointment as Governor of [[Mytaranor (Sector)|Messert]] being among them. After small discussion, with an Abstain from Natanaele, she was appointed as Governor to the system which she had learned to call home. Senatorial duties aside, she had not forgotten her other positions and as a reward to Natanaele's consistently diligent behavior, High Ambassador Cheda Quche promoted Natanaele to a Senior Staff position, Vice Pro Consul.<br />
<br />
===A Future in Command===<br />
<br />
As weeks passed, Natanaele continued down her path of hard work and dedication to the Republic, and though nothing particularly exciting had happened nonetheless she toiled for her government. However, this lull in activity would soon change quickly and with force.<br />
<br />
Early in Y14, then Interim High Ambassador Andrew Harris announced that the young diplomat had been promoted to the position of Pro Consul. Given the historically slow promotion rate of the military, and what she expected would be an uneventful future in her Naval career, this served as a boost to personal morale. Coupled with Natanaele's promotion, was her chance to lead an RDC Project Team. This would prove to be her first chance at leading a group within the New Republic, as she and her team tackled diplomacy with a vast group of neutral governments and companies.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele with Cheda Quche, celebrating her ARGH! appointment<br />
|}<br />
Two days following, this trend would continue as Chief of State Cheda Quche announced that Natanaele would be placed as the first-in-command of the Ambassadors for Rollicking and Good Humor. Since the disappearance of it's technical leader, Natanaele had run the group without having any of the authority to lead her fellow members. This had meant that she did a great deal of work while her fellows looked for someone to guide them. Within the next week and a half however, this lack of focus had made a complete turnaround: the only people who were in the group were there to actively contribute, bonuses had been arranged for hard work, and as a team they would focus on the morale for the Republic.<br />
<br />
Feeling a refreshed sense of belonging, this blossoming of personal activity continued on the following day when High Ambassador Harris promoted Natanaele to leader of the Republic News Network. This meant that Natanaele would be charged with commanding the news arm of the New Republic, their core purpose being the enhancement of the galaxy via the distribution of high-quality news, information and entertainment. And yet again, to couple her position as leader of RNN, a few days later Natanaele would be promoted to the position of Ambassador. Not only had RDC been the origin of her first command position, but it also proved to be her first command rank. In addition to her promotion, she was awarded the High Ambassador's Citation for the negotiation of the release of a New Republican who had been imprisoned.<br />
<br />
===Refocusing===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D80, Natanaele received personal news which effected her passions deeply. Up to this point she had worked vehemently for the New Republic, exerting herself in a manner far beyond that of her fellows so that she may help drive the Republic forward as more than the average citizen. However, the news created a crisis within herself which eventually led to the resignation from many of her positions: Ambassador in RDC, Professor in the Academy, and Uberjester of ARGH. After further consideration of her priorities, Natanaele also decided to end her intimate relationship with long-time romantic partner, [[Lukastar Narvaka]]. Instead she made the choice to focus only on the basics of the Navy and Governorship, and to continue her Senate term faithfully as promised to New Republic sentients during campaigning. Ironically, in Natanaele's effort to refocus and the resulting abundance of free time, she found herself strengthening her friendship with the enigmatic [[Lilith Delcroix|Countess Lilith Delcroix of Vorsia]], one of her former Diplomatic contacts. Many months before the two had hit it off nearly instantly, and following Natanaele's resignations and a whirlwind week between the two women it seemed that Natanaele's romantic refocus had gone much further than she had initially imagined. <br />
<br />
Though only half Hapan, Natanaele had received the genes for the night blindness which plagued the Hapan people. Doctor Jay Ceveri of [[The Medical Circle]] had proposed a corrective surgery in which he would implant cybernetic rods into her retina; activated only in poor lighting conditions he estimated that it would double her low light photoreception. However, as with all operations there were some drawbacks to the previously untested medical procedure. Given the cybernetic activation process and the the resulting energy glow, he warned that the rods would be visible upon activation, entirely changing her ocular appearance. More worrisome though, he further warned that if the surgery were to fail, Natanaele could risk permanent low light blindness, debilitating her eyesight far beyond Hapan vision. After careful consideration, she decided that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks and in a more literal refocus, on Y14 D104 Natanaele underwent the cybernetic operation which was successfully completed the following day. <br />
<br />
During her lull in responsibility, Natanaele began to contemplate her future with the New Republic and how best she could serve its ideals. Her personal opinion of military effectiveness had declined a great deal and yet her role as Governor in the Ministry of Civil Engineering had provided a renewed sense of purpose. After serious consideration and a week spent in a decision making process, she decided to resign her commission in the New Republic military and to instead focus full time on her Governorship, with the intent of joining the Ministry of Natural Resources via working for JUGANOTH Mining Corporation once she had fully developed Messert system. With further deliberation, she also decided that having resigned from Republic Diplomacy Command was a mistake, and she immediately sought back her position, being re-accepted at the rank of Consul. <br />
<br />
===A Close Call===<br />
<br />
For approximately a week beginning on Y4D111, Natanaele had visited Vorsia Companion, the territory owned and governed by her partner, in order to better acquaint herself with a world which would likely become a significant part of her life. While some of their time was spent in Bloodthrone Palace and the more grandiose estates, the majority of the trip was focused on exploring the world beyond the tourist experience, including both the industrialized cities which towered over the jungles of Vorsia and the small townships hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the green planetoid. Though her health had declined somewhat towards the end of the trip, Natanaele assumed it was the vast change in air composition and that her health would normalize upon return to Messert. <br />
<br />
Her assumption proved false when after a day back in her home system, her health had declined enough that she sought hospitalization. After having comprehensive blood tests run she was informed that she had contracted the Diathim strain of the Derra virus at some point during her sightseeing. Fortunately due to the virus having been tested extensively following its pandemic and her expediency in seeking medical aid she had saved herself from the gruesome physical mutation which would have otherwise inevitably decimated her natural form. Receiving a full course of a Derra virus post-exposure prophylaxis she was able to avoid the seroconversion of the infection, halting its progress entirely. Though her genetic code would permanently include immunological memory of the virus, the outbreak was stopped ensuring no significant genetic modification.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
===A Physical & Emotional Rechristening===<br />
<br />
After having spent approximately three months free of the shackles of military service, Natanaele had focused a great deal of time on getting her personal affairs organized. Though this had taken some focus away from her Governorship, she continued to manage the system, ensuring it maintained constant development. On a trip to the southern sectors, close friend Robby Rae, owner of FreiTek Inc., gifted a Namana-class Light Cruiser to Natanaele as a show of humility and selflessness. Rechristened as the "AN ''Tsek''", the ship underwent heavy modifications all designed and remotely managed by Delcroix, leading to its assignment as the AN fleet's flagship.<br />
<br />
The trip in which the Namana exchanged ownership, had initially been earmarked as both professional and personal; though Natanaele planned to retrieve a Modular Taskforce Cruiser which had recently completed production, she had also intended on the vacation to serve as a sabbatical to explore the B`omarr Monastery, in addition to other smaller goals. For this furlough, Delcroix had accompanied Natanaele, which led to a plan to propose to Delcroix on her birthday while visiting a center of faith. However, after having been delayed in Callos for longer than was anticipated, Delcroix' birthday fell on a day during one of the many small hyperspace jumps. Having planned on proposing on her birthday for some time, Natanaele followed her initial plan and asked Delcroix for her hand, leading to a swift marriage. <br />
<br />
===Galactic Resignation===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D196, Ankha Natanaele experienced significant ship malfunctions on one of her many fighters, while conducting a semi-routine study of the surrounding galactic areas. Immediately she broadcast a message to the people of the Republic in which she retired from all positions, the contents of which are archived within their holocron. More importantly however, she spent her final moments in sub-space communications with her wife. Though only Lilith Delcroix-Natanaele knows the entirety of what was said, some snippets were received on the communicators of nearby ships:<br />
<br />
I love you ... not one or two things ... <br />
absolutely everything about you ... you are perfect <br />
and that ... My feelings ... were instant ... best thing <br />
that happened to me ... your wife.<br />
<br />
This was the last communication received from Natanaele.<br />
<br />

Natanaele’s memorial service was on Year 15 Day 15 <ref name="Natanaele Memorial">[http://lilith.kaine.us/gearworks_forum/index.php?topic=599.0 Natanaele Memorial]</ref>, attended only by her spouse Delcroix-Natanaele. The private ceremony was held in the first Vorsian cathedral after a months-long search mission found Natanaele’s derelict freighter drifting among an uncharted asteroid field. The exact cause of malfunction was impossible to determine but it was clear the ship’s systems failed completely, including the life support. Natanaele’s frozen body was preserved in a sealed vacuum chamber deep within the cathedral’s catacombs. Access is highly restricted but the hallway leading to the tomb is marked by Natanaele’s image and name, where respects can be paid to the late Senator, Governor and wife.<br />

|}<br />
Due to Natanaele's artistic unique skill set, early in her New Republic citizenship a rapport had begun with then Director of the NRI & Naval Commodore Lukastar Narvaka, who had commissioned her work on his new personal venture. Initially their relationship was of only a business nature though after long hours spent together, huddled closely around a drafting table as they tediously combed through ideas and suggestions, their time led to the beginnings of a close friendship and eventually a romantic relationship. <br />
<br />
Having dated for much of Natanaele's early New Republic career, their relationship was not without innumerable conflicts. Two outstandingly opinionated individuals, and each involved in various facets of the Republic government, their differences in opinions, age, and time amongst New Republic sentients often ended in muted matches of intransigent will. Still, their mutual respect for one another had managed to overcome the difficulties of their professional positioning. However, following Natanaele's decision to separate herself from all auxiliary distractions, and to instead focus on the basics, she decided to part ways romantically with Lukastar hoping that their close friendship would continue.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, despite her initial intentions to simplify all things in her life it seemed that fortune had instead planned for something quite different. Having been assigned as the New Republic Ambassador to [[Dark Skies Gearworks]] in late Y13, Natanaele had the pleasure of working alongside Forgemaster Lilith Delcroix. During their first diplomatic conversations, their discussion ebbed and flowed drastically between the personal and professional, cementing the beginnings of a friendship. <br />
<br />
After resigning from half of her secondary positions in Y14, Delcroix provided a sounding board and companion for Natanaele while she adjusted to a much quieter and exponentially slower paced life. Once again almost immediately, Natanaele found herself quite drawn to the petite Hapan woman, though now unattached romantically it seemed her attentions had noticed Delcroix in a way far different from her initial impression. After only a week of daily conversation, the young woman served as the sole focus of Natanaele's infatuations eventually leading to a swiftly begun and yet wholly fulfilling relationship with someone Natanaele's junior in both age and stature.<br />
<br />
While their relationship had begun quickly, it seemed its progression would be just as expedited. After a nearly three-month courtship, Natanaele proposed to Delcroix during birthday celebrations while in hyperspace. Given Natanaele's aversion to wedding ceremonies and their often unnecessary pomp and circumstance, she immediately updated her personnel file within the New Republic archives, making their marriage instantaneously official. <br />
<br />

|}<br />
Standing at 1.80m tall, Natanaele was a slender bispecial Hapan/Alderaanian female of 23 years, with dark chestnut hair which melds strikingly with her pale cream skin. While working she wore a custom made jumpsuit, emblazoned with the New Republic symbol, and a metallic visor which serves as a HUD. When personal protection was required however, she used a custom set of Heavy Battle Armour which proudly sported a metallic sheen beneath New Republic red, blue, and gold. Always, a thick dark hooded force robe laid upon her shoulders swaying around her figure.<br />
<br />
When casually dressed, fashion rather than suitability was more of a concern. Regardless of what she was wearing, vibroblades laid neatly tucked away completely unseen by the untrained eye. Often she also had a ELG-3A hidden on her person though she only used it in cases of long-distance emergency, where her melee skills could not help her. She was never without her onyx wedding band. A woman who physically portrayed strength and natural ability, there was a subtle yet unyielding air of mystery and inescapable beauty which surrounded her. At most times, a sly smile and raised eyebrow could be seen etched across her face. <br />
<br />
===Pastimes===<br />
<br />
Despite her career, Natanaele was always an artist. Originally her artistry was in the physical realm (painting, sketching, etc), before growing into holo-art. Since joining the military her favorite art-form has been designing and painting her personal collection of ships, vehicles, and armor; every collection item had a New Republic custom. For viewing, her collection was housed in her Palace on Messert III.<br />
<br />
In addition to art, Natanaele spent much of her time expanding upon her general knowledge: cultural, musical, or otherwise. Because of this hunger for knowledge, a room in her BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, AN Helicon, was converted into a full scale library which housed various rare and interesting books. AN Helicon was chosen simply because it was the most used ship in her personal armada. Due to the nature of the literature, she had a full-time Librarian who constantly tended to the collection. <br />

'''Ankha Natanaele''' (Y-9 D364 - Y14 D196) was a citizen of the [[New Republic]], Governor of [[Mytaranor_(Sector)|Messert]], Speaker of the [[New_Republic_Senate|Senate]], and Consul in the Republic Diplomacy Command. She received a variety of commendations, including the esteemed Chief of State's Medal, and was cited as the New Republic's "Sexiest Female" for [[Year 12]] and [[Year 13]]. Natanaele was noted for her staunch beliefs in sentient rights, and publicly promoted non-human and human equality. She also faced some controversy in the New Republic due to her fervent support of personal enterprise.<br />
<br />
Half [[Hapan]] and half [[Alderaanian]], Natanaele left [[Alderaan]] and began her career in [[Raptor Pirates]] before eventually joining the New Republic. Initially she joined [[New_Republic_Military#Starfighter_Command|Starfighter Command]] before transferring to [[New_Republic_Military#Navy_Command|Naval Command]] where she served for nearly two years. Disenchanted with the state of the military, she resigned her commission before focusing on her development efforts in Messert system. Disappearing from the galaxy in [[Year 14]], her whereabouts remained unknown until early [[Year 15]]. Natanaele was laid to rest on [[Vorsia Companion]]. <br />

Natanaele was born in the city of [[Hapes (planet)|Ta'a Chume'Dan]]. However, her initial experience here was limited to only the first month of life, before she was taken to the art enriched city of Belleau-a-Lir, on planet [[Alderaan (Planet)|Alderaan]]. Her mother, Tatiana Natanaele (née Artemisia), was born of Belleau-a-Lir and brought Natanaele into the galaxy surrounded by design and music. Unlike Natanaele, Tatiana was a tiny woman of only 1.50m tall and cream skin; her hair was a fiery red which was beautifully contrasted by piercing crystal blue eyes. Her father, Guatier Natanaele, was from Ta'a Chume'Dan and had been raised as a young diplomat, eventually deciding to attend the University of Aldera so that he may live amongst the peaceful white Alderaanian city. A simple man, he towered above Tatiana and looked identical to his daughter with dark tresses, cream skin, and deep brown eyes. In Year -16 at the University of Alderaan, both as students, her parents would meet and fall in love; her father worked as a diplomatic assistant in the Aldera Royal Palace and her mother was an artist. They were married on Day 134 Year -14 and gave birth to Iovis Natanaele 284 days later. Five years after the birth of their son, their daughter, Ankha Natanaele was born.<br />
<br />
From an early age, her father had engrained the Hapan appreciation of beauty deeply into Natanaele's perception of the world and yet, she equally exhibited the natural eloquence and leadership found in the Alderaanian perspective. However, beneath her polished exterior stir a hunger for life which her home could never fulfill. To her, it was clear that her destiny lay beyond the paint brush and her gardens and while she knew she'd miss her home, at 19 she packed her things and left in the night. Grabbing a picture of her & her family, she left a note on her night stand which read, "I love you all but I love the idea of my future more. Goodbye. - Ankha"<br />
<br />
===The Middle Road===<br />
<br />
Aimlessly she wandered the universe, taking odd freelance job here & there. For a short time she was a Pirate, before that a thief, and previous to her thievery she was simply a dirty, starving young woman. It was the meshing of her naive childhood with this harsh reality which truly shaped Natanaele. Born from her everyday struggles, was a girl whom was externally beautiful, yet internally deadly. As a woman, she was mesmerizing, able to lure a chuckle from an Aleena and a purr from a Hutt. As a survivor, her will was relentless.<br />
<br />
The more corruption in the status quo she caused, the more the reality set in that inherently Natanaele was good-natured. Though able to cause destruction, she yearned to create beauty. It was with this revelation that she joined the New Republic, and promised to combat all the pain and suffering caused by both herself and others. A new day had come, and though in the scheme of things she was extraordinarily ordinary, she vowed to herself to make better decisions while the choices were still her's to make.<br />
<br />
===The New Republic===<br />

|}<br />
After graduating from the New Republic Academy, Natanaele's initial primary contribution was to the public relations of NR citizens through art. However, despite the potential seen in her artistry, the then Starfighter Command officer felt that her military passions weren’t being given the space to flourish amongst the constant influx of flight-men and women. With the realization that her dedication would better serve a different military branch Natanaele requested a transfer into the Naval Command. Though she couldn't walk away from flight all together she knew that in the Navy, she could accomplish more in the name of her government. After some time High Admiral Jericho and High Marshal Nightsky approved her branch transfer, making Natanaele a Naval Ensign.<br />
<br />
===Beyond Military Life===<br />
<br />
Aside from her military and art careers, Natanaele wanted to contribute more to the New Republic. With this hope of further accomplishment, she submitted an application to join the republic morale group, ARGH!, and was soon accepted. Additionally, Academy Headmaster Vice Marshal Wedge Achilles saw this enthusiasm and extended an invitation to join the [[New Republic Academy]] as a General Military and Naval Instructor. Without hesitation she accepted the position offer and hopped directly into the daily ebb & flow of the Academy inner workings. Immediately she updated both the Naval & General military curriculum; unsurprisingly she also began large scale beautification projects for the Academy Trade Station.<br />
<br />
With a renewed dedication to both her personal and professional life, her productivity seemingly tripled and her hunger for knowledge & responsibility followed. This boom in devotion was not left unnoticed and soon thereafter Natanaele was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. As time passed the spurt in ardency continued in every facet of her life and with with renewed enthusiasm, she applied to join the Republic Diplomacy Command. After nervously awaiting news for what felt like light years, she was informed that her application had been accepted and that she soon would attend the RDC Academy as its newest Cadet. Though Natanaele's life already seemingly overflowed with actualizations of childhood dreams, as an additional advancement to her career, she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at the following Battlegroup meeting, with the date of effect approximately 30 days prior to the meeting.<br />
<br />
As a Cadet of the Republic Diplomacy Command Academy, Ankha advanced with the quickness and proficiency she had applied to the rest of her life. While a student, her eye for details and near tyrannical appreciation of Galactic Basic caught many small, almost unnoticeable, errors in the classroom curriculum, seemingly garnering the attention and appreciation of both High Ambassador [[Cheda Quche]] and Executive Ambassador Andrew Harris. Though she had always done her best to aid the New Republic in all ways, the ability to directly affect the relationships of other factions & governments with the New Republic offered a new sphere of influence which Natanaele found impossible to deny. With this diplomatic state of mind, Natanaele also began petitioning NATs & GA factions to help bolster the inventory of ARGH!. Not only was she able to secure quite a bit on behalf of the NR but this too was noticed by ARGH! Leader Geran Nighshadow, who promoted Natanaele to the role of ARGH! Quartermaster & Second in-command.<br />
<br />
===Recognition Abounds===<br />

|}<br />
After working at the New Republic Academy as a Military Instructor for 156 days, Natanaele was promoted from an O-1 position to an O-4 within the Academy. The Academy had been under going major restructuring; within that restructured hierarchy Headmaster Ruben Wan saw fit to promote various Military Instructors and Civilian Teachers. Three days prior to her Academy promotion, [[Taka Aioko|Chief of State Aioko]] and Headmaster Wan had awarded her the "Studious Endeavours Award" for her high aptitude for study, excellence in exams, and willingness to make academic suggestions to the curriculum for the future. It was as if her Academy role had come full circle. Almost immediately following, she was also awarded the Republic Readiness Award by her Group Commander for displaying an exceptional level of readiness and preparation for battle. Effectively, it was an eruption of success in her short yet rewarding career as a New Republic Naval Officer. <br />
<br />
===An Identity Crisis===<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele had forged a place for herself in the New Republic, as she matured so did her longing for the ways of Alderaan - she had always appreciated the democratic ideals on which the New Republic was formed, after all despite its Monarchical structure Alderaan did have democratic practices, but she couldn't help but crave the Houses and the way in which they bonded the people. <br />
<br />
Thirsting for this structure, Natanaele foraged through her many texts hoping to find something similar. After some time she stumbled upon the government of [[The Avance Coalition]] and the structure which it held. It too was comprised of Houses though these were formed not necessarily by blood but of bond. <br />
<br />
Most intriguing was [[House Valeo]] and a section of their written code, "We will become keepers of knowledge and lore." As an artist, Natanaele placed most of her worldly value in the texts which were housed upon her ship and the cultural enrichment which enshrined her. House Valeo not only placed these same beliefs on a pedestal but steadily worked to increase their own cultural footprint, thus, she immediately applied for Avancian citizenship, and with zero haste, House Valeo Nobility. Interviewed by Twi'lek Valeo Seeker, [[Dinek Komad]], Natanaele explained her hunger for both a place within a House but also for knowledge. Concluding their interview she waited for news of her acceptance or denial and a mere five days later Natanaele learned that not only had the Noble Senators of House Valeo accepted her into their ranks, but that they had done so unanimously.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
Though Natanaele had consigned to the often civilian nature of her job, as the galaxy settled into its cosmic shift & new planets were born from the stars, she knew she'd need to put her piloting skills to good use in the proliferation of New Republic freedom across the universe. Over the course of many days she aided the [[Freedom Warriors]] in securing the [[Droecil (System)|Boeus sector]] from the tyranny of the enemies of the republic, earning herself the Droecil Participant Award from the Freedom Warriors command staff. At one point standing toe-to-toe with the traitorous Amun Sokar, the Naval officer was in the mud with her fellow brethren, military branches tossed aside as she worked to increase the quality of life for all citizens of this new world. On her return to New Republic space, she was shocked to find that her allies, the [[Triumvirate Coalition]], had located another new sector and her trudge for freedom would continue. In a crucial campaign she and many of her fellow Republicans, civilian & military alike, strove to ensure the absence of oppression in the [[Celegia (System)|Celegia]] & [[Balamak (System)|Balamak]] systems. This time with orders more fitting of a Naval officer, Natanaele assured construction continued by bringing in hoards of eager builders, some of whom would lose their lives in their goal of freeing fellow sentients from the brutality of other governments. <br />
<br />
===A Burgeoning Career===<br />
<br />
As a result of her dedication to the New Republic & her allies, the Freedom Warriors engraved Natanaele's name, amongst others involved, on a Participant Trophy, whilst the Triumvirate Coalition awarded Natanaele with two operational ribbons: Operation Celegia & Operation Balamak. Following a new moon, Chief of State Aioko awarded those involved, with the Chief of State's Medal and the Friendship Award. With a sincere sense of pride and a hope to continue her contributions, Natanaele humbly accepted her ribbons with an ingrained feeling of duty to her Chief of State, and a deeply founded respect for the Triumvirate Coalition's High Command.<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele continued with her military duties in normal form, a short time later her Group Commanding Officer called a meeting, the reasoning beyond a general status report unknown. While operational status was discussed, the ending focus was final commencement of medals which had been earned through the sweat, blood, and tears lost on Balamak and Celegia. Awarded with the Group Commander's Citation by her Commanding Officer and the Meritorious Unit Medal by High Marshal Lance Nightsky, her military career met its magnum opus as her lapel was now adorned with recognition by each of her superiors. To add onto her military success she also qualified for the "Expert Pilot" skill badge a short time later.<br />
<br />
===The Political Realm===<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly disenfranchised with the state of the [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] in the year she had served as a Naval Officer, once the Y13 D260 elections neared Natanaele decided that she would run for one of the five contested seats. Everything she had heard of the position was negative and the Senatorial influence on the citizens of the republic had deeply troubled her, but duty insisted that she run.<br />
<br />
Delivering a passionate speech about the Senate and the necessary changes it required in order to continue as a functioning branch of the government, Natanaele began her campaign on a positive note. Though it was rifled with the customary political hecklers, and there were the occasional tensions between she and her fellow candidates, as the final votes filed in, it became clear that Natanaele would serve the next year as a Senator. <br />
<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: right; font-size: 11px;"<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:AnkhaSpeech.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" |Natanaele, accepting her nomination<br />
|}<br />
Almost immediately, fellow Senator Galen Darksol messaged Natanaele to gauge her interest in the Speaker position. Admittedly fearful of potential failings, she initially declined. This would be her first session, and her goal was and had been the success of the Republic via the Senate - the last thing she hoped for was procedural failings of the Senate, caused by her incompetence. However, after conversation with former Speakers and encouragement of her fellows the nervous Hapalderaanian accepted the responsibility of the position, and in Senator Darksol's stead, Senator Gryffyn Grayurra nominated her for the position.<br />
<br />
With a new found confidence in her potential as a Senator, Natanaele was successfully elected to the Speaker position and nearly immediately she began her administrative duties. Though initially, she had missteps here and there, after a little under a month in office she had settled into her position and began more vocally discussing the policy issues of the New Republic. It was clear that this Senate's focus would be on the trimming of unnecessary legislation, and for that she was thankful.<br />
<br />
Additionally, almost immediately, the confirmations of three Governors arrived upon the desks of the Senators, Natanaele's appointment as Governor of [[Mytaranor (Sector)|Messert]] being among them. After small discussion, with an Abstain from Natanaele, she was appointed as Governor to the system which she had learned to call home. Senatorial duties aside, she had not forgotten her other positions and as a reward to Natanaele's consistently diligent behavior, High Ambassador Cheda Quche promoted Natanaele to a Senior Staff position, Vice Pro Consul.<br />
<br />
===A Future in Command===<br />
<br />
As weeks passed, Natanaele continued down her path of hard work and dedication to the Republic, and though nothing particularly exciting had happened nonetheless she toiled for her government. However, this lull in activity would soon change quickly and with force.<br />
<br />
Early in Y14, then Interim High Ambassador Andrew Harris announced that the young diplomat had been promoted to the position of Pro Consul. Given the historically slow promotion rate of the military, and what she expected would be an uneventful future in her Naval career, this served as a boost to personal morale. Coupled with Natanaele's promotion, was her chance to lead an RDC Project Team. This would prove to be her first chance at leading a group within the New Republic, as she and her team tackled diplomacy with a vast group of neutral governments and companies.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele with Cheda Quche, celebrating her ARGH! appointment<br />
|}<br />
Two days following, this trend would continue as Chief of State Cheda Quche announced that Natanaele would be placed as the first-in-command of the Ambassadors for Rollicking and Good Humor. Since the disappearance of it's technical leader, Natanaele had run the group without having any of the authority to lead her fellow members. This had meant that she did a great deal of work while her fellows looked for someone to guide them. Within the next week and a half however, this lack of focus had made a complete turnaround: the only people who were in the group were there to actively contribute, bonuses had been arranged for hard work, and as a team they would focus on the morale for the Republic.<br />
<br />
Feeling a refreshed sense of belonging, this blossoming of personal activity continued on the following day when High Ambassador Harris promoted Natanaele to leader of the Republic News Network. This meant that Natanaele would be charged with commanding the news arm of the New Republic, their core purpose being the enhancement of the galaxy via the distribution of high-quality news, information and entertainment. And yet again, to couple her position as leader of RNN, a few days later Natanaele would be promoted to the position of Ambassador. Not only had RDC been the origin of her first command position, but it also proved to be her first command rank. In addition to her promotion, she was awarded the High Ambassador's Citation for the negotiation of the release of a New Republican who had been imprisoned.<br />
<br />
===Refocusing===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D80, Natanaele received personal news which effected her passions deeply. Up to this point she had worked vehemently for the New Republic, exerting herself in a manner far beyond that of her fellows so that she may help drive the Republic forward as more than the average citizen. However, the news created a crisis within herself which eventually led to the resignation from many of her positions: Ambassador in RDC, Professor in the Academy, and Uberjester of ARGH. After further consideration of her priorities, Natanaele also decided to end her intimate relationship with long-time romantic partner, [[Lukastar Narvaka]]. Instead she made the choice to focus only on the basics of the Navy and Governorship, and to continue her Senate term faithfully as promised to New Republic sentients during campaigning. Ironically, in Natanaele's effort to refocus and the resulting abundance of free time, she found herself strengthening her friendship with the enigmatic [[Lilith Delcroix|Countess Lilith Delcroix of Vorsia]], one of her former Diplomatic contacts. Many months before the two had hit it off nearly instantly, and following Natanaele's resignations and a whirlwind week between the two women it seemed that Natanaele's romantic refocus had gone much further than she had initially imagined. <br />
<br />
Though only half Hapan, Natanaele had received the genes for the night blindness which plagued the Hapan people. Doctor Jay Ceveri of [[The Medical Circle]] had proposed a corrective surgery in which he would implant cybernetic rods into her retina; activated only in poor lighting conditions he estimated that it would double her low light photoreception. However, as with all operations there were some drawbacks to the previously untested medical procedure. Given the cybernetic activation process and the the resulting energy glow, he warned that the rods would be visible upon activation, entirely changing her ocular appearance. More worrisome though, he further warned that if the surgery were to fail, Natanaele could risk permanent low light blindness, debilitating her eyesight far beyond Hapan vision. After careful consideration, she decided that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks and in a more literal refocus, on Y14 D104 Natanaele underwent the cybernetic operation which was successfully completed the following day. <br />
<br />
During her lull in responsibility, Natanaele began to contemplate her future with the New Republic and how best she could serve its ideals. Her personal opinion of military effectiveness had declined a great deal and yet her role as Governor in the Ministry of Civil Engineering had provided a renewed sense of purpose. After serious consideration and a week spent in a decision making process, she decided to resign her commission in the New Republic military and to instead focus full time on her Governorship, with the intent of joining the Ministry of Natural Resources via working for JUGANOTH Mining Corporation once she had fully developed Messert system. With further deliberation, she also decided that having resigned from Republic Diplomacy Command was a mistake, and she immediately sought back her position, being re-accepted at the rank of Consul. <br />
<br />
===A Close Call===<br />
<br />
For approximately a week beginning on Y4D111, Natanaele had visited Vorsia Companion, the territory owned and governed by her partner, in order to better acquaint herself with a world which would likely become a significant part of her life. While some of their time was spent in Bloodthrone Palace and the more grandiose estates, the majority of the trip was focused on exploring the world beyond the tourist experience, including both the industrialized cities which towered over the jungles of Vorsia and the small townships hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the green planetoid. Though her health had declined somewhat towards the end of the trip, Natanaele assumed it was the vast change in air composition and that her health would normalize upon return to Messert. <br />
<br />
Her assumption proved false when after a day back in her home system, her health had declined enough that she sought hospitalization. After having comprehensive blood tests run she was informed that she had contracted the Diathim strain of the Derra virus at some point during her sightseeing. Fortunately due to the virus having been tested extensively following its pandemic and her expediency in seeking medical aid she had saved herself from the gruesome physical mutation which would have otherwise inevitably decimated her natural form. Receiving a full course of a Derra virus post-exposure prophylaxis she was able to avoid the seroconversion of the infection, halting its progress entirely. Though her genetic code would permanently include immunological memory of the virus, the outbreak was stopped ensuring no significant genetic modification.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
===A Physical & Emotional Rechristening===<br />
<br />
After having spent approximately three months free of the shackles of military service, Natanaele had focused a great deal of time on getting her personal affairs organized. Though this had taken some focus away from her Governorship, she continued to manage the system, ensuring it maintained constant development. On a trip to the southern sectors, close friend Robby Rae, owner of FreiTek Inc., gifted a Namana-class Light Cruiser to Natanaele as a show of humility and selflessness. Rechristened as the "AN ''Tsek''", the ship underwent heavy modifications all designed and remotely managed by Delcroix, leading to its assignment as the AN fleet's flagship.<br />
<br />
The trip in which the Namana exchanged ownership, had initially been earmarked as both professional and personal; though Natanaele planned to retrieve a Modular Taskforce Cruiser which had recently completed production, she had also intended on the vacation to serve as a sabbatical to explore the B`omarr Monastery, in addition to other smaller goals. For this furlough, Delcroix had accompanied Natanaele, which led to a plan to propose to Delcroix on her birthday while visiting a center of faith. However, after having been delayed in Callos for longer than was anticipated, Delcroix' birthday fell on a day during one of the many small hyperspace jumps. Having planned on proposing on her birthday for some time, Natanaele followed her initial plan and asked Delcroix for her hand, leading to a swift marriage. <br />
<br />
===Galactic Resignation===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D196, Ankha Natanaele experienced significant ship malfunctions on one of her many fighters, while conducting a semi-routine study of the surrounding galactic areas. Immediately she broadcast a message to the people of the Republic in which she retired from all positions, the contents of which are archived within their holocron. More importantly however, she spent her final moments in sub-space communications with her wife. Though only Lilith Delcroix-Natanaele knows the entirety of what was said, some snippets were received on the communicators of nearby ships:<br />
<br />
I love you ... not one or two things ... <br />
absolutely everything about you ... you are perfect <br />
and that ... My feelings ... were instant ... best thing <br />
that happened to me ... your wife.<br />
<br />
This was the last communication received from Natanaele.<br />
<br />

Natanaele’s memorial service was on Year 15 Day 15 <ref name="Natanaele Memorial">[http://lilith.kaine.us/gearworks_forum/index.php?topic=599.0 Natanaele Memorial]</ref>, attended only by her spouse Delcroix-Natanaele. The private ceremony was held in the first Vorsian cathedral after a months-long search mission found Natanaele’s derelict freighter drifting among an uncharted asteroid field. The exact cause of malfunction was impossible to determine but it was clear the ship’s systems failed completely, including the life support. Natanaele’s frozen body was preserved in a sealed vacuum chamber deep within the cathedral’s catacombs. Access is highly restricted but the hallway leading to the tomb is marked by Natanaele’s image and name, where respects can be paid to the late Senator, Governor and wife.<br />

|}<br />
Due to Natanaele's artistic unique skill set, early in her New Republic citizenship a rapport had begun with then Director of the NRI & Naval Commodore Lukastar Narvaka, who had commissioned her work on his new personal venture. Initially their relationship was of only a business nature though after long hours spent together, huddled closely around a drafting table as they tediously combed through ideas and suggestions, their time led to the beginnings of a close friendship and eventually a romantic relationship. <br />
<br />
Having dated for much of Natanaele's early New Republic career, their relationship was not without innumerable conflicts. Two outstandingly opinionated individuals, and each involved in various facets of the Republic government, their differences in opinions, age, and time amongst New Republic sentients often ended in muted matches of intransigent will. Still, their mutual respect for one another had managed to overcome the difficulties of their professional positioning. However, following Natanaele's decision to separate herself from all auxiliary distractions, and to instead focus on the basics, she decided to part ways romantically with Lukastar hoping that their close friendship would continue.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, despite her initial intentions to simplify all things in her life it seemed that fortune had instead planned for something quite different. Having been assigned as the New Republic Ambassador to [[Dark Skies Gearworks]] in late Y13, Natanaele had the pleasure of working alongside Forgemaster Lilith Delcroix. During their first diplomatic conversations, their discussion ebbed and flowed drastically between the personal and professional, cementing the beginnings of a friendship. <br />
<br />
After resigning from half of her secondary positions in Y14, Delcroix provided a sounding board and companion for Natanaele while she adjusted to a much quieter and exponentially slower paced life. Once again almost immediately, Natanaele found herself quite drawn to the petite Hapan woman, though now unattached romantically it seemed her attentions had noticed Delcroix in a way far different from her initial impression. After only a week of daily conversation, the young woman served as the sole focus of Natanaele's infatuations eventually leading to a swiftly begun and yet wholly fulfilling relationship with someone Natanaele's junior in both age and stature.<br />
<br />
While their relationship had begun quickly, it seemed its progression would be just as expedited. After a nearly three-month courtship, Natanaele proposed to Delcroix during birthday celebrations while in hyperspace. Given Natanaele's aversion to wedding ceremonies and their often unnecessary pomp and circumstance, she immediately updated her personnel file within the New Republic archives, making their marriage instantaneously official. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Uniform Comparison<br />
|}<br />
Standing at 1.80m tall, Natanaele was a slender bispecial Hapan/Alderaanian female of 23 years, with dark chestnut hair which melds strikingly with her pale cream skin. While working she wore a custom made jumpsuit, emblazoned with the New Republic symbol, and a metallic visor which serves as a HUD. When personal protection was required however, she used a custom set of Heavy Battle Armour which proudly sported a metallic sheen beneath New Republic red, blue, and gold. Always, a thick dark hooded force robe laid upon her shoulders swaying around her figure.<br />
<br />
When casually dressed, fashion rather than suitability was more of a concern. Regardless of what she was wearing, vibroblades laid neatly tucked away completely unseen by the untrained eye. Often she also had a ELG-3A hidden on her person though she only used it in cases of long-distance emergency, where her melee skills could not help her. She was never without her onyx wedding band. A woman who physically portrayed strength and natural ability, there was a subtle yet unyielding air of mystery and inescapable beauty which surrounded her. At most times, a sly smile and raised eyebrow could be seen etched across her face. <br />
<br />
===Pastimes===<br />
<br />
Despite her career, Natanaele was always an artist. Originally her artistry was in the physical realm (painting, sketching, etc), before growing into holo-art. Since joining the military her favorite art-form has been designing and painting her personal collection of ships, vehicles, and armor; every collection item had a New Republic custom. For viewing, her collection was housed in her Palace on Messert III.<br />
<br />
In addition to art, Natanaele spent much of her time expanding upon her general knowledge: cultural, musical, or otherwise. Because of this hunger for knowledge, a room in her BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, AN Helicon, was converted into a full scale library which housed various rare and interesting books. AN Helicon was chosen simply because it was the most used ship in her personal armada. Due to the nature of the literature, she had a full-time Librarian who constantly tended to the collection. <br />

'''Ankha Natanaele''' (Y-9 D364 - Y14 D196) was a citizen of the [[New Republic]], Governor of [[Mytaranor_(Sector)|Messert]], Speaker of the [[New_Republic_Senate|Senate]], and Consul in the Republic Diplomacy Command. She received a variety of commendations, including the esteemed Chief of State's Medal, and was cited as the New Republic's "Sexiest Female" for [[Year 12]] and [[Year 13]]. Natanaele was noted for her staunch beliefs in sentient rights, and publicly promoted non-human and human equality. She also faced some controversy in the New Republic due to her fervent support of personal enterprise.<br />
<br />
Half [[Hapan]] and half [[Alderaanian]], Natanaele left [[Alderaan]] and began her career in [[Raptor Pirates]] before eventually joining the New Republic. Initially she joined [[New_Republic_Military#Starfighter_Command|Starfighter Command]] before transferring to [[New_Republic_Military#Navy_Command|Naval Command]] where she served for nearly two years. Disenchanted with the state of the military, she resigned her commission before focusing on her development efforts in Messert system. Disappearing from the galaxy in [[Year 14]], her whereabouts remained unknown until early [[Year 15]]. Natanaele was laid to rest on [[Vorsia Companion]]. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Childhood===<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, age five<br />
|}<br />
Natanaele was born in the city of [[Hapes (planet)|Ta'a Chume'Dan]]. However, her initial experience here was limited to only the first month of life, before she was taken to the art enriched city of Belleau-a-Lir, on planet [[Alderaan (Planet)|Alderaan]]. Her mother, Tatiana Natanaele (née Artemisia), was born of Belleau-a-Lir and brought Natanaele into the galaxy surrounded by design and music. Unlike Natanaele, Tatiana was a tiny woman of only 1.50m tall and cream skin; her hair was a fiery red which was beautifully contrasted by piercing crystal blue eyes. Her father, Guatier Natanaele, was from Ta'a Chume'Dan and had been raised as a young diplomat, eventually deciding to attend the University of Aldera so that he may live amongst the peaceful white Alderaanian city. A simple man, he towered above Tatiana and looked identical to his daughter with dark tresses, cream skin, and deep brown eyes. In Year -16 at the University of Alderaan, both as students, her parents would meet and fall in love; her father worked as a diplomatic assistant in the Aldera Royal Palace and her mother was an artist. They were married on Day 134 Year -14 and gave birth to Iovis Natanaele 284 days later. Five years after the birth of their son, their daughter, Ankha Natanaele was born.<br />
<br />
From an early age, her father had engrained the Hapan appreciation of beauty deeply into Natanaele's perception of the world and yet, she equally exhibited the natural eloquence and leadership found in the Alderaanian perspective. However, beneath her polished exterior stir a hunger for life which her home could never fulfill. To her, it was clear that her destiny lay beyond the paint brush and her gardens and while she knew she'd miss her home, at 19 she packed her things and left in the night. Grabbing a picture of her & her family, she left a note on her night stand which read, "I love you all but I love the idea of my future more. Goodbye. - Ankha"<br />
<br />
===The Middle Road===<br />
<br />
Aimlessly she wandered the universe, taking odd freelance job here & there. For a short time she was a Pirate, before that a thief, and previous to her thievery she was simply a dirty, starving young woman. It was the meshing of her naive childhood with this harsh reality which truly shaped Natanaele. Born from her everyday struggles, was a girl whom was externally beautiful, yet internally deadly. As a woman, she was mesmerizing, able to lure a chuckle from an Aleena and a purr from a Hutt. As a survivor, her will was relentless.<br />
<br />
The more corruption in the status quo she caused, the more the reality set in that inherently Natanaele was good-natured. Though able to cause destruction, she yearned to create beauty. It was with this revelation that she joined the New Republic, and promised to combat all the pain and suffering caused by both herself and others. A new day had come, and though in the scheme of things she was extraordinarily ordinary, she vowed to herself to make better decisions while the choices were still her's to make.<br />
<br />
===The New Republic===<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: right; font-size: 11px;"<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele, in SFC<br />
|}<br />
After graduating from the New Republic Academy, Natanaele's initial primary contribution was to the public relations of NR citizens through art. However, despite the potential seen in her artistry, the then Starfighter Command officer felt that her passions outside ship painting and design were lost amongst the tides of new flight-men and women. With the realization that her dedication would better serve a different military branch Natanaele requested a transfer into the Naval Command. Though she couldn't walk away from flight all together she knew that in the Navy, she could accomplish more in the name of her government. After some time High Admiral Jericho and High Marshal Nightsky approved her branch transfer, making Natanaele a Naval Ensign.<br />
<br />
===Beyond Military Life===<br />
<br />
Aside from her military and art careers, Natanaele wanted to contribute more to the New Republic. With this hope of further accomplishment, she submitted an application to join the republic morale group, ARGH!, and was soon accepted. Additionally, Academy Headmaster Vice Marshal Wedge Achilles saw this enthusiasm and extended an invitation to join the [[New Republic Academy]] as a General Military and Naval Instructor. Without hesitation she accepted the position offer and hopped directly into the daily ebb & flow of the Academy inner workings. Immediately she updated both the Naval & General military curriculum; unsurprisingly she also began large scale beautification projects for the Academy Trade Station.<br />
<br />
With a renewed dedication to both her personal and professional life, her productivity seemingly tripled and her hunger for knowledge & responsibility followed. This boom in devotion was not left unnoticed and soon thereafter Natanaele was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. As time passed the spurt in ardency continued in every facet of her life and with with renewed enthusiasm, she applied to join the Republic Diplomacy Command. After nervously awaiting news for what felt like light years, she was informed that her application had been accepted and that she soon would attend the RDC Academy as its newest Cadet. Though Natanaele's life already seemingly overflowed with actualizations of childhood dreams, as an additional advancement to her career, she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at the following Battlegroup meeting, with the date of effect approximately 30 days prior to the meeting.<br />
<br />
As a Cadet of the Republic Diplomacy Command Academy, Ankha advanced with the quickness and proficiency she had applied to the rest of her life. While a student, her eye for details and near tyrannical appreciation of Galactic Basic caught many small, almost unnoticeable, errors in the classroom curriculum, seemingly garnering the attention and appreciation of both High Ambassador [[Cheda Quche]] and Executive Ambassador Andrew Harris. Though she had always done her best to aid the New Republic in all ways, the ability to directly affect the relationships of other factions & governments with the New Republic offered a new sphere of influence which Natanaele found impossible to deny. With this diplomatic state of mind, Natanaele also began petitioning NATs & GA factions to help bolster the inventory of ARGH!. Not only was she able to secure quite a bit on behalf of the NR but this too was noticed by ARGH! Leader Geran Nighshadow, who promoted Natanaele to the role of ARGH! Quartermaster & Second in-command.<br />
<br />
===Recognition Abounds===<br />

| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Commendation Display<br />
|}<br />
After working at the New Republic Academy as a Military Instructor for 156 days, Natanaele was promoted from an O-1 position to an O-4 within the Academy. The Academy had been under going major restructuring; within that restructured hierarchy Headmaster Ruben Wan saw fit to promote various Military Instructors and Civilian Teachers. Three days prior to her Academy promotion, [[Taka Aioko|Chief of State Aioko]] and Headmaster Wan had awarded her the "Studious Endeavours Award" for her high aptitude for study, excellence in exams, and willingness to make academic suggestions to the curriculum for the future. It was as if her Academy role had come full circle. Almost immediately following, she was also awarded the Republic Readiness Award by her Group Commander for displaying an exceptional level of readiness and preparation for battle. Effectively, it was an eruption of success in her short yet rewarding career as a New Republic Naval Officer. <br />
<br />
===An Identity Crisis===<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele had forged a place for herself in the New Republic, as she matured so did her longing for the ways of Alderaan - she had always appreciated the democratic ideals on which the New Republic was formed, after all despite its Monarchical structure Alderaan did have democratic practices, but she couldn't help but crave the Houses and the way in which they bonded the people. <br />
<br />
Thirsting for this structure, Natanaele foraged through her many texts hoping to find something similar. After some time she stumbled upon the government of [[The Avance Coalition]] and the structure which it held. It too was comprised of Houses though these were formed not necessarily by blood but of bond. <br />
<br />
Most intriguing was [[House Valeo]] and a section of their written code, "We will become keepers of knowledge and lore." As an artist, Natanaele placed most of her worldly value in the texts which were housed upon her ship and the cultural enrichment which enshrined her. House Valeo not only placed these same beliefs on a pedestal but steadily worked to increase their own cultural footprint, thus, she immediately applied for Avancian citizenship, and with zero haste, House Valeo Nobility. Interviewed by Twi'lek Valeo Seeker, [[Dinek Komad]], Natanaele explained her hunger for both a place within a House but also for knowledge. Concluding their interview she waited for news of her acceptance or denial and a mere five days later Natanaele learned that not only had the Noble Senators of House Valeo accepted her into their ranks, but that they had done so unanimously.<br />
<br />
===Uncharted Lands===<br />

|-<br />

|}<br />
Though Natanaele had consigned to the often civilian nature of her job, as the galaxy settled into its cosmic shift & new planets were born from the stars, she knew she'd need to put her piloting skills to good use in the proliferation of New Republic freedom across the universe. Over the course of many days she aided the [[Freedom Warriors]] in securing the [[Droecil (System)|Boeus sector]] from the tyranny of the enemies of the republic, earning herself the Droecil Participant Award from the Freedom Warriors command staff. At one point standing toe-to-toe with the traitorous Amun Sokar, the Naval officer was in the mud with her fellow brethren, military branches tossed aside as she worked to increase the quality of life for all citizens of this new world. On her return to New Republic space, she was shocked to find that her allies, the [[Triumvirate Coalition]], had located another new sector and her trudge for freedom would continue. In a crucial campaign she and many of her fellow Republicans, civilian & military alike, strove to ensure the absence of oppression in the [[Celegia (System)|Celegia]] & [[Balamak (System)|Balamak]] systems. This time with orders more fitting of a Naval officer, Natanaele assured construction continued by bringing in hoards of eager builders, some of whom would lose their lives in their goal of freeing fellow sentients from the brutality of other governments. <br />
<br />
===A Burgeoning Career===<br />
<br />
As a result of her dedication to the New Republic & her allies, the Freedom Warriors engraved Natanaele's name, amongst others involved, on a Participant Trophy, whilst the Triumvirate Coalition awarded Natanaele with two operational ribbons: Operation Celegia & Operation Balamak. Following a new moon, Chief of State Aioko awarded those involved, with the Chief of State's Medal and the Friendship Award. With a sincere sense of pride and a hope to continue her contributions, Natanaele humbly accepted her ribbons with an ingrained feeling of duty to her Chief of State, and a deeply founded respect for the Triumvirate Coalition's High Command.<br />
<br />
Though Natanaele continued with her military duties in normal form, a short time later her Group Commanding Officer called a meeting, the reasoning beyond a general status report unknown. While operational status was discussed, the ending focus was final commencement of medals which had been earned through the sweat, blood, and tears lost on Balamak and Celegia. Awarded with the Group Commander's Citation by her Commanding Officer and the Meritorious Unit Medal by High Marshal Lance Nightsky, her military career met its magnum opus as her lapel was now adorned with recognition by each of her superiors. To add onto her military success she also qualified for the "Expert Pilot" skill badge a short time later.<br />
<br />
===The Political Realm===<br />
<br />
Overwhelmingly disenfranchised with the state of the [[New Republic Senate|Senate]] in the year she had served as a Naval Officer, once the Y13 D260 elections neared Natanaele decided that she would run for one of the five contested seats. Everything she had heard of the position was negative and the Senatorial influence on the citizens of the republic had deeply troubled her, but duty insisted that she run.<br />
<br />
Delivering a passionate speech about the Senate and the necessary changes it required in order to continue as a functioning branch of the government, Natanaele began her campaign on a positive note. Though it was rifled with the customary political hecklers, and there were the occasional tensions between she and her fellow candidates, as the final votes filed in, it became clear that Natanaele would serve the next year as a Senator. <br />
<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" |Natanaele, accepting her nomination<br />
|}<br />
Almost immediately, fellow Senator Galen Darksol messaged Natanaele to gauge her interest in the Speaker position. Admittedly fearful of potential failings, she initially declined. This would be her first session, and her goal was and had been the success of the Republic via the Senate - the last thing she hoped for was procedural failings of the Senate, caused by her incompetence. However, after conversation with former Speakers and encouragement of her fellows the nervous Hapalderaanian accepted the responsibility of the position, and in Senator Darksol's stead, Senator Gryffyn Grayurra nominated her for the position.<br />
<br />
With a new found confidence in her potential as a Senator, Natanaele was successfully elected to the Speaker position and nearly immediately she began her administrative duties. Though initially, she had missteps here and there, after a little under a month in office she had settled into her position and began more vocally discussing the policy issues of the New Republic. It was clear that this Senate's focus would be on the trimming of unnecessary legislation, and for that she was thankful.<br />
<br />
Additionally, almost immediately, the confirmations of three Governors arrived upon the desks of the Senators, Natanaele's appointment as Governor of [[Mytaranor (Sector)|Messert]] being among them. After small discussion, with an Abstain from Natanaele, she was appointed as Governor to the system which she had learned to call home. Senatorial duties aside, she had not forgotten her other positions and as a reward to Natanaele's consistently diligent behavior, High Ambassador Cheda Quche promoted Natanaele to a Senior Staff position, Vice Pro Consul.<br />
<br />
===A Future in Command===<br />
<br />
As weeks passed, Natanaele continued down her path of hard work and dedication to the Republic, and though nothing particularly exciting had happened nonetheless she toiled for her government. However, this lull in activity would soon change quickly and with force.<br />
<br />
Early in Y14, then Interim High Ambassador Andrew Harris announced that the young diplomat had been promoted to the position of Pro Consul. Given the historically slow promotion rate of the military, and what she expected would be an uneventful future in her Naval career, this served as a boost to personal morale. Coupled with Natanaele's promotion, was her chance to lead an RDC Project Team. This would prove to be her first chance at leading a group within the New Republic, as she and her team tackled diplomacy with a vast group of neutral governments and companies.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Natanaele with Cheda Quche, celebrating her ARGH! appointment<br />
|}<br />
Two days following, this trend would continue as Chief of State Cheda Quche announced that Natanaele would be placed as the first-in-command of the Ambassadors for Rollicking and Good Humor. Since the disappearance of it's technical leader, Natanaele had run the group without having any of the authority to lead her fellow members. This had meant that she did a great deal of work while her fellows looked for someone to guide them. Within the next week and a half however, this lack of focus had made a complete turnaround: the only people who were in the group were there to actively contribute, bonuses had been arranged for hard work, and as a team they would focus on the morale for the Republic.<br />
<br />
Feeling a refreshed sense of belonging, this blossoming of personal activity continued on the following day when High Ambassador Harris promoted Natanaele to leader of the Republic News Network. This meant that Natanaele would be charged with commanding the news arm of the New Republic, their core purpose being the enhancement of the galaxy via the distribution of high-quality news, information and entertainment. And yet again, to couple her position as leader of RNN, a few days later Natanaele would be promoted to the position of Ambassador. Not only had RDC been the origin of her first command position, but it also proved to be her first command rank. In addition to her promotion, she was awarded the High Ambassador's Citation for the negotiation of the release of a New Republican who had been imprisoned.<br />
<br />
===Refocusing===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D80, Natanaele received personal news which effected her passions deeply. Up to this point she had worked vehemently for the New Republic, exerting herself in a manner far beyond that of her fellows so that she may help drive the Republic forward as more than the average citizen. However, the news created a crisis within herself which eventually led to the resignation from many of her positions: Ambassador in RDC, Professor in the Academy, and Uberjester of ARGH. After further consideration of her priorities, Natanaele also decided to end her intimate relationship with long-time romantic partner, [[Lukastar Narvaka]]. Instead she made the choice to focus only on the basics of the Navy and Governorship, and to continue her Senate term faithfully as promised to New Republic sentients during campaigning. Ironically, in Natanaele's effort to refocus and the resulting abundance of free time, she found herself strengthening her friendship with the enigmatic [[Lilith Delcroix|Countess Lilith Delcroix of Vorsia]], one of her former Diplomatic contacts. Many months before the two had hit it off nearly instantly, and following Natanaele's resignations and a whirlwind week between the two women it seemed that Natanaele's romantic refocus had gone much further than she had initially imagined. <br />
<br />
Though only half Hapan, Natanaele had received the genes for the night blindness which plagued the Hapan people. Doctor Jay Ceveri of [[The Medical Circle]] had proposed a corrective surgery in which he would implant cybernetic rods into her retina; activated only in poor lighting conditions he estimated that it would double her low light photoreception. However, as with all operations there were some drawbacks to the previously untested medical procedure. Given the cybernetic activation process and the the resulting energy glow, he warned that the rods would be visible upon activation, entirely changing her ocular appearance. More worrisome though, he further warned that if the surgery were to fail, Natanaele could risk permanent low light blindness, debilitating her eyesight far beyond Hapan vision. After careful consideration, she decided that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks and in a more literal refocus, on Y14 D104 Natanaele underwent the cybernetic operation which was successfully completed the following day. <br />
<br />
During her lull in responsibility, Natanaele began to contemplate her future with the New Republic and how best she could serve its ideals. Her personal opinion of military effectiveness had declined a great deal and yet her role as Governor in the Ministry of Civil Engineering had provided a renewed sense of purpose. After serious consideration and a week spent in a decision making process, she decided to resign her commission in the New Republic military and to instead focus full time on her Governorship, with the intent of joining the Ministry of Natural Resources via working for JUGANOTH Mining Corporation once she had fully developed Messert system. With further deliberation, she also decided that having resigned from Republic Diplomacy Command was a mistake, and she immediately sought back her position, being re-accepted at the rank of Consul. <br />
<br />
===A Close Call===<br />
<br />
For approximately a week beginning on Y4D111, Natanaele had visited Vorsia Companion, the territory owned and governed by her partner, in order to better acquaint herself with a world which would likely become a significant part of her life. While some of their time was spent in Bloodthrone Palace and the more grandiose estates, the majority of the trip was focused on exploring the world beyond the tourist experience, including both the industrialized cities which towered over the jungles of Vorsia and the small townships hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the green planetoid. Though her health had declined somewhat towards the end of the trip, Natanaele assumed it was the vast change in air composition and that her health would normalize upon return to Messert. <br />
<br />
Her assumption proved false when after a day back in her home system, her health had declined enough that she sought hospitalization. After having comprehensive blood tests run she was informed that she had contracted the Diathim strain of the Derra virus at some point during her sightseeing. Fortunately due to the virus having been tested extensively following its pandemic and her expediency in seeking medical aid she had saved herself from the gruesome physical mutation which would have otherwise inevitably decimated her natural form. Receiving a full course of a Derra virus post-exposure prophylaxis she was able to avoid the seroconversion of the infection, halting its progress entirely. Though her genetic code would permanently include immunological memory of the virus, the outbreak was stopped ensuring no significant genetic modification.<br />

<br />
===A Physical & Emotional Rechristening===<br />
<br />
After having spent approximately three months free of the shackles of military service, Natanaele had focused a great deal of time on getting her personal affairs organized. Though this had taken some focus away from her Governorship, she continued to manage the system, ensuring it maintained constant development. On a trip to the southern sectors, close friend Robby Rae, owner of FreiTek Inc., gifted a Namana-class Light Cruiser to Natanaele as a show of humility and selflessness. Rechristened as the "AN ''Tsek''", the ship underwent heavy modifications all designed and remotely managed by Delcroix, leading to its assignment as the AN fleet's flagship.<br />
<br />
The trip in which the Namana exchanged ownership, had initially been earmarked as both professional and personal; though Natanaele planned to retrieve a Modular Taskforce Cruiser which had recently completed production, she had also intended on the vacation to serve as a sabbatical to explore the B`omarr Monastery, in addition to other smaller goals. For this furlough, Delcroix had accompanied Natanaele, which led to a plan to propose to Delcroix on her birthday while visiting a center of faith. However, after having been delayed in Callos for longer than was anticipated, Delcroix' birthday fell on a day during one of the many small hyperspace jumps. Having planned on proposing on her birthday for some time, Natanaele followed her initial plan and asked Delcroix for her hand, leading to a swift marriage. <br />
<br />
===Galactic Resignation===<br />
<br />
On Y14 D196, Ankha Natanaele experienced significant ship malfunctions on one of her many fighters, while conducting a semi-routine study of the surrounding galactic areas. Immediately she broadcast a message to the people of the Republic in which she retired from all positions, the contents of which are archived within their holocron. More importantly however, she spent her final moments in sub-space communications with her wife. Though only Lilith Delcroix-Natanaele knows the entirety of what was said, some snippets were received on the communicators of nearby ships:<br />
<br />
I love you ... not one or two things ... <br />
absolutely everything about you ... you are perfect <br />
and that ... My feelings ... were instant ... best thing <br />
that happened to me ... your wife.<br />
<br />
This was the last communication received from Natanaele.<br />

Natanaele’s memorial service was on Year 15 Day 15 <ref name="Natanaele Memorial">[http://lilith.kaine.us/gearworks_forum/index.php?topic=599.0 Natanaele Memorial]</ref>, attended only by her spouse Delcroix-Natanaele. The private ceremony was held in the first Vorsian cathedral after a months-long search mission found Natanaele’s derelict freighter drifting among an uncharted asteroid field. The exact cause of malfunction was impossible to determine but it was clear the ship’s systems failed completely, including the life support. Natanaele’s frozen body was preserved in a sealed vacuum chamber deep within the cathedral’s catacombs. Access is highly restricted but the hallway leading to the tomb is marked by Natanaele’s image and name, where respects can be paid to the late Senator, Governor and wife.<br />

|}<br />
Due to Natanaele's artistic unique skill set, early in her New Republic citizenship a rapport had begun with then Director of the NRI & Naval Commodore Lukastar Narvaka, who had commissioned her work on his new personal venture. Initially their relationship was of only a business nature though after long hours spent together, huddled closely around a drafting table as they tediously combed through ideas and suggestions, their time led to the beginnings of a close friendship and eventually a romantic relationship. <br />
<br />
Having dated for much of Natanaele's early New Republic career, their relationship was not without innumerable conflicts. Two outstandingly opinionated individuals, and each involved in various facets of the Republic government, their differences in opinions, age, and time amongst New Republic sentients often ended in muted matches of intransigent will. Still, their mutual respect for one another had managed to overcome the difficulties of their professional positioning. However, following Natanaele's decision to separate herself from all auxiliary distractions, and to instead focus on the basics, she decided to part ways romantically with Lukastar hoping that their close friendship would continue.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, despite her initial intentions to simplify all things in her life it seemed that fortune had instead planned for something quite different. Having been assigned as the New Republic Ambassador to [[Dark Skies Gearworks]] in late Y13, Natanaele had the pleasure of working alongside Forgemaster Lilith Delcroix. During their first diplomatic conversations, their discussion ebbed and flowed drastically between the personal and professional, cementing the beginnings of a friendship. <br />
<br />
After resigning from half of her secondary positions in Y14, Delcroix provided a sounding board and companion for Natanaele while she adjusted to a much quieter and exponentially slower paced life. Once again almost immediately, Natanaele found herself quite drawn to the petite Hapan woman, though now unattached romantically it seemed her attentions had noticed Delcroix in a way far different from her initial impression. After only a week of daily conversation, the young woman served as the sole focus of Natanaele's infatuations eventually leading to a swiftly begun and yet wholly fulfilling relationship with someone Natanaele's junior in both age and stature.<br />
<br />
While their relationship had begun quickly, it seemed its progression would be just as expedited. After a nearly three-month courtship, Natanaele proposed to Delcroix during birthday celebrations while in hyperspace. Given Natanaele's aversion to wedding ceremonies and their often unnecessary pomp and circumstance, she immediately updated her personnel file within the New Republic archives, making their marriage instantaneously official. <br />
<br />

|}<br />
Standing at 1.80m tall, Natanaele was a slender bispecial Hapan/Alderaanian female of 23 years, with dark chestnut hair which melds strikingly with her pale cream skin. While working she wore a custom made jumpsuit, emblazoned with the New Republic symbol, and a metallic visor which serves as a HUD. When personal protection was required however, she used a custom set of Heavy Battle Armour which proudly sported a metallic sheen beneath New Republic red, blue, and gold. Always, a thick dark hooded force robe laid upon her shoulders swaying around her figure.<br />
<br />
When casually dressed, fashion rather than suitability was more of a concern. Regardless of what she was wearing, vibroblades laid neatly tucked away completely unseen by the untrained eye. Often she also had a ELG-3A hidden on her person though she only used it in cases of long-distance emergency, where her melee skills could not help her. She was never without her onyx wedding band. A woman who physically portrayed strength and natural ability, there was a subtle yet unyielding air of mystery and inescapable beauty which surrounded her. At most times, a sly smile and raised eyebrow could be seen etched across her face. <br />
<br />
===Pastimes===<br />
<br />
Despite her career, Natanaele was always an artist. Originally her artistry was in the physical realm (painting, sketching, etc), before growing into holo-art. Since joining the military her favorite art-form has been designing and painting her personal collection of ships, vehicles, and armor; every collection item had a New Republic custom. For viewing, her collection was housed in her Palace on Messert III.<br />
<br />
In addition to art, Natanaele spent much of her time expanding upon her general knowledge: cultural, musical, or otherwise. Because of this hunger for knowledge, a room in her BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, AN Helicon, was converted into a full scale library which housed various rare and interesting books. AN Helicon was chosen simply because it was the most used ship in her personal armada. Due to the nature of the literature, she had a full-time Librarian who constantly tended to the collection. <br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has continued to attend well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the recent Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall partcipation, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been significantly less than in previous similar events.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately, and eventually in general, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has continued to attend well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the recent Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall partcipation, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been significantly less than in previous similar events.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately, and eventually in general, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />
<br />
===Solitude===<br />
Caelius faithfully served as a member of Dark Prince Knight's Family Council for nearly 3 years, however, on [[Year 21|Year 21 Day 36]] he once more decided to resign from his position as Vigo. Joining the Consiglio as a Councillor Emeritus, the now former Vigo swiftly withdrew from the very spirited and hedonistic public life which had defined him over the previous near decade. Though members of Black Sun maintained contact with him, and [[Natasha Kaine]]—speaking on behalf of House Kaine—assured inquirers that her eldest cousin retained full control of their family estates, Caelius's public interactions otherwise diminished almost in their entirety. When his offices on Lorpfan were pressed for comment, a short statement was released that stated, "I have always valued privacy in my personal life and I'm no longer the professional face of anything. While I realize our galaxy thrives on idle gossip, I've little reason to offer myself as the source."<br />
<br />
Since retiring, Caelius has continued to attend well-known galactic events like the biannual Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meets, and the recent Galaxy Fest. However, media sources have noted that his overall partcipation, outside of Black Sun and Imperial Union groups, has been significantly less than in previous similar events.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius previously suffered weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. However, his impairments were repaired in late [[Year 21]] when, after a grueling three day surgery, Doctor [[Spree Razzix]] finished a restoration on the damaged arm using newly discovered and highly experimental medical techniques. As part of his obsession with personal fitness, Caelius has focused on flexibility and dexterity since young adulthood, in addition to working towards becoming a master of unarmed combat techniques. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He was the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he served as Captain for and played the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately, and eventually in general, leading to an increased solitude.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Revyia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius suffers weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. Despite this weakness, Caelius is exceptionally dexterous and a master of unarmed combat. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He is the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he serves as Captain for and plays the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately but otherwise developed a nature far more open than before.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />

====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and a retired Vigo within [[Black Sun]], serving as the Vigo of Interior, Infrastructure, Shadows, and the Regent - the title of second-in-command - in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his former diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Reyvia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius suffers weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. Despite this weakness, Caelius is exceptionally dexterous and a master of unarmed combat. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He is the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he serves as Captain for and plays the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately but otherwise developed a nature far more open than before.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

<br />
'''Black Sun''', originally known as the '''Black Sun Trading Company''', is an infamous galactic industrial syndicate and government. Founded several centuries ago, the group achieved prominence with the rise of Princess [[Gabriella Storm]]. Over the years, Black Sun has approached itself in varied ways, including: a legitimate trading corporation, an independent paramilitary force, intelligence brokers, and a massive government authority. Historically, Black Sun has contended with the [[Galactic Empire]], [[New Republic]], and other galactic powers as one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy.<br />
<br />
Operating as a monolithic organization, Black Sun is centered around and supported by its legitimate companies: [[Gesenix Mining]] and [[Shobquix Industries]]. Sharing a common organizational structure and code of conduct, the Black Sun government is run by the Dark Prince who is advised by a Family Council, consisting of up to nine Vigos ([[Tion_Cluster|Old Tionese]] for "nephew"). Beneath the Family Council sits the Consiglio, a lesser council of Consigliere who hold various positions within Black Sun. Central to Black Sun's endeavors is a strict protocol of conduct and behavior which defines the relationships and actions of its Officers.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: right; font-size: 11px;"<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:Gabriella Storm Holocron Image 01.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Dark Princess [[Gabriella Storm]],<br> circa [[Year 1]]<br />
|}<br />
Although existing in more nebulous forms for hundreds of years, an organization recognizable as the current Black Sun was first mustered under the Dark Princess [[Gabriella Storm]]. Opening its business front on [[Year 0|Year 0 Day 5]], under Storm, Black Sun thrived and, by [[Year 1]], had established itself ostensibly as a reputable trading concern. According to accounts from the period, the first Princess eventually grew bored with continuing success and faked her own death in order to escape the group ([[Year 0|Year 0 Day 318]]). The existing pattern of loyalties, when confronted with the sudden departure of the Princess, created a rift in the organization. Many who were loyal to the Princess reasoned that where their leader went they must follow and so they departed. For the first time the leadership of the Sun was shaken and the organization set to tear itself apart.<br />
<br />
===The First Interregnum===<br />
<br />
Following Storm's departure, there were company loyalty games which divided Black Sun internally. Many members of Black Sun were enticed with financial opportunities, while others were motivated purely by a desire to change. In order to address these concerns, Dark Prince [[Blood]] assumed the position of interim ruler and attempted to quell the chaos.<ref name="Old Black Sun History" /> He did his best to stabilize Black Sun in a very difficult time and was instrumental in foiling several attempted coups. However, Blood did not wish to remain as leader of the organization and desired to abdicate. After a lengthy deliberation between the high command, a new leader was chosen: Keevan Colton.<br />
<br />
Prince [[Keevan Colton]] assumed the mantle of ruler on [[Year 1|Year 1 Day 318]] and gradually stabilized the organization. However, like his predecessor Prince Blood, Keevan had never wanted the position of leader and quickly set about training a successor. Electing to step down once an appropriate successor was available, he appointed Qel Dar as the new leader.<br />
<br />
===Galactic Development===<br />
<br />
Prince [[Qel Dar]] immediately centralized Black Sun's power structure, before declaring war upon the [[Hapes Consortium]] and creating diplomatic ties to the [[Falleen Federation]], due to his membership in the [[Huruk-Rah|Huruk-Rah clan]]. Qel Dar also took as his protégé the galactic businessman [[Kosh Naranek]], who was the former governor of [[Lorell]]. Together, they pushed construction on [[Lorell]] and [[Dathomir]], in an effort to wrest control from Hapes ([[Year 3|Year 3 Day 107]]). They further pushed to take control of the bog-world of [[Nal Hutta]] from the [[Hutt Council]]. The reason for their sudden push towards war is still unknown. Unfortunately, Qel Dar's ambitious plans to wrest territory from [[Hapes Consortium|Hapes]] and [[Hutt Council]] both failed. Despite his other works as Dark Prince, Qel Dar's plan to seize the planet Lorell was his most grandiose action, and his failure there irrevocably marred his reign. These events would come to be known as the [[Black Sun Crisis]]. He was further disgraced when his diplomatic envoy, Vigo [[Acria Larkin]], was captured by the Hutt Council and extradited to the [[Galactic Empire]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020806222040/http://www.swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=712 GNS: "Receiving a Prisoner" - Year 3 Day 243] (Archived)</ref> A year later, on Year 4 Day 61, Qel Dar stepped down and retired with his consort, Dark Princess [[Krystal]], to the Inner Rim.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030302174136/http://www.swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=1324 GNS: "Qel Dar's Retirement" - Year 4 Day 61] (Archived)</ref> In a surprising move, Qel Dar bypassed his protégé Kosh Naranek and chose Plojo Rosom to be his successor. Naranek disappeared from the galactic stage following this event.<br />
<br />
Dark Prince [[Plojo Rosom]] set out to reconstruct Black Sun, dividing the collective up and appointing Lords, each with the responsibility of conquering volumes of space. Each of these task forces would be a microcosm of the way Black Sun itself had been run in the past and the Family grew to its largest point since its inception under Dark Princess Storm. Freed from the day-to-day management of territory and assets the Prince could take on larger issues and those of personal interest. Realizing the Sun's need for military muscle, Rosom contracted mercenary groups among these was [[Irv Howie]], a petty warlord based in the [[Jospro|Jospro sector]]. This mercenary's relationship with [[Xya Howie|Tee ubo Tarkona]] (then fiancé to the [[Greyson Uebles|Emperor Uebles]]). These events drew Irv Howie into conflict with the Galactic Empire. Tee fled Imperial space aboard her YV-666 the "Leap of Faith" to join with Howie's fleet just outside the [[Sullust]] system, it was here she changed her name and appearance to avoid pursuit. Tee became Xyanax Jasper and then Xya Howie after the pair married and combined their resources into a new group, the Shadow Walkers, which was hidden from those who were not members. During this period of self-interest, Rosom further granted asylum to [[Tara Tylger]], another exile hunted by the [[Galactic Empire]]. In retaliation, the Empire declared war upon Black Sun. Dark Prince Rosom married [[Avalon Larkin]] on [[Year 4|Year 4 Day 159]], and when the war with the Galactic Empire fizzled, Prince Rosom decided to retire to the life of self-endeavors he had created for himself.<br />
<br />
Despite being an exile of the Galactic Empire, under Prince Rosom, Xya Howie led The Shadow Walkers in their task to remove Family members who broke their pact with the Sun. It was her successes here and in other arenas, alongside Tara Tylger, which led to her appointment as Prince Rosom's successor. Because Princess Howie had led Black Sun through many dangers, she was beloved by many of its members. Slowly, Black Sun became self-sufficient and gained more members by seizing control of smaller organizations. Under this mantle, she created a Black Market which set up to sell rare and expensive technology anonymously through Black Sun as an intermediary. Ironically, the two principal sources of military goods for the [[Black_Market_Re-opens._New_Auctioneer_Found._Kiffex_declared_out-of-bounds.|Black Market]] were Emperor Uebles, who was faced with the prospect of either, working with BS or continuing hostilities against them, and Irv Howie, who maintained volatile relations with his now ex-wife the Princess and her organization. Through Irv Howie's relationship with Black Sun, he and business partner [[Adam A Flynn]] were gifted the [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub]] shipbuilding company. SoroSuub began its golden age around [[Year 5|Year 5 Day 181]], very loosely interwoven into the Sun and indebted to the Sun due to its foundational relationship. However, despite her successes, Princess Howie only ruled Black Sun for eight months before retiring.<br />
<br />
===The Second Interregnum===<br />
<br />
Prince [[Joseph Roscha]] reign was short, only three months, before continued disagreements with the former Princess prompted a turn of events that saw him expelled from the group and Dark Princess Xya's return to the throne, until her and Irv Howie's death due to ship malfunction. Tara Tylger assumed Xya's place as Princess of Black Sun.<ref name="Old Black Sun History">[http://web.archive.org/web/20060220170740/swc-blacksun.com/history.php Black Sun - History] (Archived)</ref><br />
<br />
Princess [[Tara Tylger]]'s reign was equally short. The specifics of her downfall are unknown but most historians believe it was caused by a massacre she ordered on Kiffex. Following the carnage on [[Kiffex]], Regent [[Camaris sa Vinitta]] seized the throne of Black Sun on Year 6 Day 326 and proclaimed himself ruler.<ref>[http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/gnsarchive.php?display=2&postID=4196&category=20 GNS: "Tragedy at the Palace" - Year 6 Day 326]</ref><br />
<br />
Prince [[Camaris sa Vinitta]] was unable to bring to stop the rampant squabbles and, during his brief tenure, the organization was sundered again. Predicting this eventuality, Camaris had groomed a successor who now stepped in to restore control to the fractured group: [[Daa`iata Tnaysc]]. During the reign of Dark Princess Tnaysc, the [[SoroSuub Corporation|SoroSuub Conglomerate]] had pushed forward the creation of a massive city-world on [[Galalryn]], eventually becoming the leading Galactic Government, replacing the Galactic Empire. Count [[Ingo R. Vailis]] made a famous speech to the [[Galactic News Service]], outlining his political views.<br />
{| style="border: 1px solid white; padding: 1px; margin: 5px; float: left; font-size: 11px;"<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | [[File:Darkstar Holocron Image 01.png]]<br />
|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | The Darkstar Battleship,<br>[BSS] Ill Gotten Gains<br />
|}<br />
Meanwhile, Count Adam A Flynn was heavily involved with Black Sun, supporting Princess Tnaysc's efforts to rebuild. Unfortunately, due to external events her reign did not last long and given their professional relationship, she handed control over to Prince [[Adam A Flynn]]. In such a short period Black Sun had undergone tremendous political turbulence. SoroSuub was willing to contribute massive amounts of credits to sustain the syndicate but to no avail. Rivalry among the remaining Family members made their position untenable and Black Sun was gutted. The group was held as part of the SoroSuub Conglomerate, stripped of all but its Kiffex holdings, the flagship [[Darkstar Battleship]] and a fleet of [[Comparison_of_Fighters|vipers]].<br />
<br />
===Revival===<br />
Prince [[Adam A. Flynn]] saw many changes. Under him, Black Sun was now part of the SoroSuub conglomerate led by Ingo Vailis. Prince Flynn and Vailis debated the future of Black Sun but neither would afford to divert time from the development of SoroSuub to repair the collective. At this time, SoroSuub merged with the [[Rebel Alliance]] to form the [[New Republic]]. As events came to a head with the merger, Black Sun was forgotten almost completely. Prince Flynn and Count Vailis had never been able to answer the question of how to restore the group and so it languished, neglected.<br />
<br />
The New Republic outlined plans to transform Black Sun into [[Republic Trading]], severing the group from its criminal past and setting it on the course for a legitimate future as a trade consortium. Flynn and Vailis proposed a deal to sell the group to [[Teniel Djo]] with the hopes that a pirate could become a solid candidate as the new leader of organized crime in the galaxy. The idea of selling to a pirate sickened the moral majority in the New Republic. The Chief of State and leader of the Republic, Ingo R. Vailis, unable to reconcile his past and current identities or achieve his goals within the framework of the Republic, pushed on the deal. However, the citizens of the New Republic rallied against what they saw as unethical behavior and, on [[Year 8|Year 8 Day 310]], they passed a vote of no confidence in [[Chief of State]] Vailis. Vailis hid himself on [[Sulon]] and there he met with Adam A Flynn, [[Corvis Orion]] and other key individuals to plan their response.<br />
<br />
On [[Year 8|Year 8 Day 338]] Vailis began sending orders to Black Sun agents in the New Republic. He ordered the deaths of several key political opponents and the transfer of massive amounts of military technology and credits into Black Sun. He and Adam A Flynn worked closely together over this period and, by [[Year 8|Year 8 Day 350]], Dark Prince Flynn had ascended to the mantle of Black Sun, this time with the full intentions of restoring the crime syndicate to its former infamy. <ref name="Modern History">[http://swc-blacksun.com/index.php/history/history-of-black-sun Black Sun History]</ref><br />
<br />
===Legitimization===<br />
<br />
After the events of the New Republic coup had calmed down, [[Corvis Orion]] having served an integral leadership role in the reclamation of the Black Sun identity, took up the mantle of Dark Prince in [[Year 10]]. Serving for nearly two years, his leadership is remembered for smoothing out political tides which had previously overcome the syndicate. Under Prince Orion, Black Sun had acquired [[The Azure Empire]] and opened other relations. The Sun also took steps to absorb much of [[Hyrotii Corporation|Hyrotii Corporation's]] resources by indoctrinating Sector Managers and bribing Administrators, leading to its nationalization as a Black Sun company. However, as time went on, the reins of leadership appeared to be loosening and a decline had yet again set-in.<br />

| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Reformation of the [[Imperial Union]],<br>with Dark Prince [[Banquo Knox]] signing on behalf of Black Sun<br />
|}<br />
Dark Prince [[Tar Alaks]] succeed Corvis Orion during this period of decline. In order to strengthen the ideological foundations of Black Sun, Prince Alaks had every member reaffirm their oath to the Family. Alaks also succeeded in organizing a take-over of both [[Aurora Technologies]] and [[Aurora Mining Technologies]] which were absorbed into Black Sun. [[Aurora Technologies]] was reborn as a Black Sun nationalized ships producer. Alaks also relinquished the title of Dark Prince in favor of the title of Lord Marshal.<br />
<br />
Following Alaks stepping down, Dark Prince [[Banquo Knox]] began his rein, choosing to continue the return to the focus of Family within the organization. Additionally, Knox worked hard to keep diplomatic bridges open between Black Sun and other governments striving for a degree of legitimization. In keeping with these ideals, on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 209]] Black Sun was renamed to [[The Veragi Consortium]]. However, the change in name would be a relatively short lived affair with it becoming Black Sun again on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 264]]. Throughout his galactic exploits, Dark Prince Knox had developed a diplomatic relationship with the Lord [[Seele]] of the [[Galactic Empire]]. The animosity of the pass had seemingly been quelled by shared political, economic, and military goals. It was through this relationship, that Black Sun became one of the original signatories of the restructured [[Imperial Union]], alongside the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]] on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]]. Prince Knox saw further legitimate success through the sale of [[Aurora Technologies]], and the creation of a uniquely Black Sun shipbuilder, [[White Star]].<br />
<br />
===The Modern Black Sun===<br />
<br />
Eventually the stress of leading Black Sun through a large-scale shift proved tiresome for Prince Knox, his public appearances declining as he worked in seclusion. Though his initial focus had been on Family, Black Sun had not yet reconnected with its roots in brotherhood. With a promise to restore those ties, Princess [[Cait Catra]] was appointed his successor, though she would retire quickly and inconsequentially. Her wife [[Niobe Asha]] took the mantle briefly, under the title Empress, before also leaving a legacy void of historical importance. Though the failed Catra-Asha leadership only last for 120 galactic days, this period would simply be recorded as the, "Lost Year." <br />
<br />
Underlord [[Alexander von Ismay]] ascended to his position in [[Year 14]], intent on repairing the failures of his most recent predecessors. Continuing the economic and diplomatic policies which had yielded success beneath Prince Knox, Underlord Ismay further pursued a revitalization of the ideals of, "Family. Honour. Profit." In ensuring these ideals were upheld, Underlord Ismay removed any members of the Collective and Family who placed others above Black Sun. This cleansing included the removal of Vigo [[Nyarlathotep Alaks]] and Vigo [[Jormungand Gand]], both of whom were found to be traitors. In their place, loyal members of the Family were invited into Gologotha to serve upon the Family Council. Additionally, the [[White Star]] shipbuilding enterprise and [[Hyrotii Corporation]] were re-formed, in order to remove any remnants of the "Lost Year." In their place, [[Shobquix Industries]], [[Neuro-Saav Corporation]] and [[Gesenix Mining]] were formed, paving the way for the syndicate's future endeavors.<br />
<br />
Under the leadership of [[Alexander von Ismay]], Black Sun dawned another golden age. Black Sun secured its place in a modern [[Imperial Union]] through stronger diplomatic ties, underwent massive infrastructure projects in Revyia which improved the collection of revenues, and boosted salaries and bonuses of Black Sun Collective members. The size of Black Sun's fleets more than doubled during his reign thanks to impressive efforts to boost production and industrial efforts across the Outer Rim. But the most memorable part of Underlord Ismay's reign will be returning Black Sun to its status as a galactically-recognized Government.<br />
<br />
When Underlord Ismay chose to retire his position in early Year 17, Black Sun had more than doubled its monthly income and had twice the number of dedicated Collective and Family members as it did when he became Underlord. Recognizing the potential of Black Sun to continue rising with strong and committed leadership, leadership seamlessly transitioned to his Regent and Vigo of Defense, the new Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight]] on Year 17 Day 97.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
The Black Sun industrial syndicate is comprised of the Collective and the Family. The Collective represents Black Sun's industrial and infrastructural endeavors, including it's material management, architectural development, and industrial production companies. Each company within the Collective is run by a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Operating Officer; those who hold these positions may be any Family rank. The Black Sun Family is a private institution, renown for its historical exploits, primarily: smuggling, trafficking, corporate espionage, information brokerage, and infiltration. Little is known publicly about the Black Sun Family beyond its leadership structure, hierarchy, and involvement in previous criminal engagements. <br />
<br />
===Ranks===<br />
The Black Sun Collective and the Black Sun Family share an overarching hierarchy of ranks, with delineation for Enlisted personnel and Family. In other words, while the rank structures have separate identification codes, Family Ranks are above, and a continuation from, Enlisted ranks.<br />
<br />
The ranks for Enlisted personnel include the following, in ascending order (Black Sun proper/Blades of the Prince/[[Gesenix Mining]]/[[Shobquix Industries]]):<br />
<br />
*Hopeful<br />
*Junior Broker / Blade / Junior Operator / Junior Lineman<br />
*Broker / Dagger / Operator / Lineman<br />
*Senior Broker / Militus / Senior Operator / Senior Lineman<br />
*Trading Leader / Soldatti / Mine Leader / Line Leader<br />
<br />
Expanded in breadth, there are thrice the amount of ranks within the Family. The ranks for Family include the following, in ascending order:<br />
<br />
*Trucido / Sai-Los / Engineer / Engineer<br />
*Socious / Hamon / Senior Engineer / Senior Engineer <br />
*Vilicus / Schiavona / Assistant Manager / Assistant Manager<br />
*Custodis / Phurba / Manager / Manager<br />
*Dominius / Dai-Los / Supervisor / Supervisor<br />
*Overseer / Morte / Overseer / Overseer<br />
*Imperator / Effectus / Imperator / Imperator<br />
*Underboss / Omir Morte / Underboss / Underboss<br />
*Boss / Warlord / Boss / Boss<br />
*Councillor Emeritus<br />
*Vigo<br />
*Regent<br />
*Dark Prince<br />
<br />
===Dark Prince===<br />
''Main article: [[Leader of Black Sun]]''<br />
<br />
The Dark Prince is the supreme leader of Black Sun. Holding sole decision power, the Dark Prince is responsible for shaping Black Sun policy in all arenas. Given his role as leader of Collective undertakings, his decisions are responsible for strengthening corporate security, mass mobilization efficiency, and economic prosperity. Additionally, due to the Family's behavioral foundation in, "Family, Honour, and Profit" the Dark Prince serves as the ideological exemplar for the Family's ethical code. While the Dark Prince is the primary decision maker within the Black Sun syndicate, he is advised and supported heavily by the Family Council. <br />
<br />
The current Dark Prince of Black Sun is [[Jeor Knight]].<br />
<br />
===Family Council===<br />
''Main article: [[Black Sun Family Council]]''<br />
<br />
The Family Council is headed by the Dark Prince, and otherwise composed of Dark Prince chosen Family who are appointed to the rank of Vigo. Of the nine Vigo seats, three are reserved for Shadow Vigos and primarily advisory Vigos, while six Vigo seats operate as the heads of Black Sun departments. Though this style of organization originated under [[Plojo Rosom|Dark Prince Rosom]], and has existed loosely since his reign, it was further formalized beneath Underlord Ismay and Dark Prince Knight. In its entirety, the Family Council operates as an extension of the Dark Prince's authority. Therefore, they have absolute authority within the Black Sun syndicate, advise the Dark Prince in all syndicate affairs, and assist him in the implementation of his duties.<br />
<br />
The current Family Council is as follows:<br />
<br />
; Vigo of Defense : Vigo [[Banquo Knox]], Interim<br />
; Vigo of Industry : Vigo [[Thrall Lothbrok]] <br />
; Vigo of Infrastructure : Vigo [[Jad Hep Viridux]]<br />
; Vigo of Interior : Vigo [[Kyran Caelius]]<br />
; Vigo of Máurari : Vigo [[Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar]]<br />
; Vigo of Shadows : Vigo [[Banquo Knox]]<br />
; Advisory Vigo : Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]]<br />
; Shadow Vigo : Shadow Vigo Synedrus<br />
<br />
===Consiglio===<br />
Representing the Collective companies and other sub-sections of Black Sun, the Consiglio is an advisory committee meant to supplement the Family Council in their decision making processes. Each company and intracollective group can be directly represented here; this may not be the case in instances where groups are run by one or more Vigos. Accordingly, the Consiglio provides the Family Council leadership with specific input related to procedural & implementation needs, and the every day working sentient. Members of the Consiglio, titled Consigliere, are all Collective members who have attained Command ranks, all Ministry second-in-command, and up to two additional appointed advisors. Consigliere also play a primary role in the advancement of lesser personnel, due to their more direct interaction. <br />
<br />
The current Consiglio is as follows:<br />
<br />
; Councillor Emeritus [C-5] [[Christine Apotheosis]]<br />
; Councillor Emeritus [C-5] [[Corvis Orion]]<br />
; Councillor Emeritus [C-5] [[Kelmanis Vaan]]<br />
; Overseer [C-1] [[Kira Morbus]]<br />
; Overseer [C-1] [[Tobias de Vergas]]<br />
; Senior Manager [O-4] [[Astrid Sarka]]<br />
; Assistant Manager [O-1] [[Alexi Genesys]]<br />

''Main Article: [[Black Sun Governance]]''<br />
===Culture===<br />
<br />
Black Sun culture is ultra-hedonistic, with firmly held zealotry towards the Family Council. Most within Black Sun domains share a belief system centered around the attainment of pleasure, both physical and mental. Cultural philosophy holds that gratification is momentary and thus the universal aim for all sentients is the consistent realization of satisfaction. To this end, all forms of behavioural deviance are socially accepted. Sentients are free to do as they wish, so long as their actions do not impinge upon others or violate rules set by the Family Council. Any luxury, drug, or vice is available for a price in Black Sun territory. <br />
<br />
Economic inequality is a present in many Black Sun planets. While poverty if significant in some areas, soaring pleasure palaces dominate the skylines elsewhere. Black Sun does little to actively alleviate this issue, however, anyone wishing to escape poverty is granted an opportunity to work in one of the Collective operations or by serving in the Blades, where they are paid one of the best entrance salaries in the galaxy. However, Black Sun expects excellence from its employees and failure to perform or abide by rules and regulations will result in immediate termination of employment at best. <br />
<br />
Given the lenient laws in Black Sun space, it has become a burgeoning tourist destination and tax haven for the rich and wealthy of galaxy. With their money, Black Sun provides the utmost in privacy and secrecy should visitors wish to keep their reputations clean when they return to more puritan systems. <br />
<br />
Many businesses have moved their operations to Black Sun territory to escape crippling corporate taxes and endless bureaucracy. Corporate espionage is rife, and Black Sun only intervenes to ensure no outright property damage or loss of life occurs. This intense competition has spawned a strong market for security, which Black Sun is happy to help fill.<br />
<br />
Competitive sports and card games are exceptionally popular within the incorporated sectors. Though gambling is legal, all betting is patrolled in order to ensure obeisance to Black Sun values. Syndicate territories are also renowned for their lively and multi-species nightlife. Cities within Black Sun territories have varying sizes of amenities, some encompassing entire massive buildings while others are small and secret. Likewise, the offerings range from the luxurious and expensive to options which cater to the average sentient. The world districts dedicated to legalized harlotry are often galactic attractions for those governed by less indulgent sovereigns.<br />
<br />
====Code of Conduct====<br />
<br />
The Code of Conduct for nationalized employees is classified. Though the central motto is known as an explicit ethical guideline for the Family, it is further believed that those expectations extend to all members of the Collective, the degree to which is undisclosed. Rumors have circled that breaking the Code of Conduct can lead to execution, though they've generally been dismissed as conspiracy. Systems which are managed by Black Sun operate under a relatively liberal rule of law, with the exception of absolute obedience to the Dark Prince and Vigos.<br />
<br />
===Economy===<br />
<br />
Black Sun takes the concept of profit very seriously: it forms one of the three tenets of the Black Sun motto, "Profit motivates us." Specifically, the focus on business has lead to a capitalist market which governs the incorporated systems. The exception to privately owned means of production is Shobquix Industries, the single state owned manufacturing entity, which supplies Black Sun directly and is overseen by the Vigo of Industry. The industries within sectors under Black Sun control, are otherwise closely held by citizens for the purpose of profit. All syndicate worlds boast competitive markets where supply and demand are internally affected by sentient exchanges. However, despite the liberal economies, land based property rights are non-existent; all land is government controlled.<br />
<br />
As allies of the [[Galactic Empire]], Black Sun has adopted the [[Galactic Credit]] as their currency. It is the only accepted tender within Collective territories. This acceptance of what has become the standardized medium of exchange has allowed Black Sun to maintain a strong presence in the galactic market. Though bartering for services is allowed, credits continue to be the sole means of payment to nationalized employees. Some smaller territories have frequent usage of indentured servitude, though voluntary serfdom is rare due to the high governmental minimum wage of 4 million galactic credits per 30 days [[Combine Galactic Time]].<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and the Vigo of Interior within [[Black Sun]], additionally serving as the Vigo of Infrastructure and Vigo of Shadows in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Reyvia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius suffers weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. Despite this weakness, Caelius is exceptionally dexterous and a master of unarmed combat. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He is the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he serves as Captain for and plays the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately but otherwise developed a nature far more open than before.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and the Vigo of Interior within [[Black Sun]], additionally serving as the Vigo of Infrastructure and Vigo of Shadows in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Reyvia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Caelius, in mid Year 15<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius suffers weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. Despite this weakness, Caelius is exceptionally dexterous and a master of unarmed combat. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He is the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he serves as Captain for and plays the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately but otherwise developed a nature far more open than before.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

|}<br />
====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''House Kaine''' is a [[Human]] family of [[Hapan]] origin, most well known for its role in modern [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] history, the creation of the [[Reansucru|Reansucru]] faith, and its present allegiance to [[Black Sun]]. The family's reputation began with the militaristic success of Augustus Kaine, and spread to the general financial prosperity of his heirs. With the emergence of the [[Second Galactic Civil War]], the family suffered a temporary fall in influence before regaining their reputation via the current generation. <br />
<br />
Members of House Kaine serve as leaders in many companies and institutions, most of which are non-neutral in the war. Contemporary descendants include the former Lord Protector of [[Holowan Mechanicals|Holowan]], [[Gabriel Kaine]] and [[Black Sun]] [[Black Sun Family Council|Vigo]], [[Kyran Caelius]]. Those directly involved in the day-to-day administration of House Kaine are [[Kristijan Caelius]] and daughter of the former leader, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Though decisions are ultimately made by Archon Caelius, any House inquiries are handled by the family advisors. It is unknown what roles are played by other House members. Historically xenophobic, the House's human speciest beliefs have tempered greatly under Archon [[Kyran Caelius]].<br />
<br />
== Family History ==<br />
The prominence of House Kaine began with founder Augustus Kaine, a child of Hapes. Growing up under the matriarchal influences of the Hapan society, Augustus was tired of being treated like less than equal because he was male. Despite being recognized as a gifted mind by his peers, he felt subjugated by the Hapan female oriented society. Strong willed and strong minded, he convinced his wife to leave the Hapes Cluster, in order to seek a new home somewhere where he could thrive. After careful consideration, he chose the ecumenopolis Coruscant as his new home.<br />
<br />
Establishing himself on Coruscant, he joined the military due to its quick promise of power and advancement. It was there that he made his career, though he never advanced past the rank of Captain in the service of the Imperial Navy. During his tenure, he and his wife gave birth to the twins Edith and Hazel. Hazel was more oriented to life's fiscal joys, where Edith sought to follow in her father's footsteps, joining the military for a short career. As they grew in age, neither sister married though each had longtime lovers. Working together, Hazel and Edith assisted their father in establishing a small fortune in order to ensure the fiscal security of the House Kaine. By the time the sisters had their children, the family had acquired enough credits and property that they were able to live in the lap of luxury. So much so, that despite having children, they spent the rest of their days mixing it up with the social elite of Coruscant.<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Current Edith Kaine Bloodline<br />
|}<br />
</center><br />
<br />
Edith and her partner, William Corvey, had three children: Isolde, Eleise, and Everett. While Edith's personality was reminiscent of her father, her three children elected to branch out beyond familial influences. Isolde, drawn to the ideals of being a caretaker, developed herself as a healer from an early age. Eleise was reserved but dignified, a woman of quiet luxury. Everett continued the Kaine militaristic trends, his personality dominated by the influences of the Imperial Navy.<br />
<br />
Isolde created a fulfilling life for herself on Thyferra. Working as a Research Doctor for a Bacta firm, the war effort was as financially successful for her as it had initially been for Asenour. However, when she met and married her husband, a native of her new home, she decided to focus purely on her life as a housewife. Though this was deeply satisfying, when her second son, Kristijan, was born she joined her distant family on Empress Teta, hoping to allow her sons the same opportunities which had been afforded to her.<br />
<br />
In contrast, Eleise, having created a life of luxury for herself and her family, lived comfortably on Corellia for many years. She and her family spent their days bathed in excess, ignorant of the war. However, after the disappearance of her husband, she elected to move to Empress Teta, making her home there alongside Lilith. Given the perceived failings of her family life, she became lost to an overwhelming depression and spent the rest of her life, until her passing, in complete seclusion.<br />
<br />
Similar to Amelia's disappearance, Everett's history remained much unknown, most of it hidden behind the veil of military secrecy. Though he was married and fathered two sons, his wife succumbed to an unknown illness and his eldest son, despite making contact with his family, chose to continue his father's trend towards familial separation. His youngest son, Sebastien, broke this trend by working closely with the family.<br />

|-<br />
| width="100%" colspan="2" style="background-color: #0C3147;" | Current Hazel Kaine Bloodline<br />
|}<br />
</center><br />
Hazel and her long time lover, Mongeon Dasanda, gave birth to a set of twins of their own: Herbert[http://galarchives.swc-empire.com/index.php?title=Incubus_Kaine] and Asenour. The two boys were later joined by a younger sister Amelia. Each of the three of Hazel's children grew up with their own interests and likes. Asenour was a brilliant mind and enjoyed the vigors of trying to capitalize on all situations. Herbert, fascinated by the stories of his grandfather, was drawn to the power and prestige that came with military services. And young Amelia, spirited and beautiful found meaning and purpose in art, music, and her social circles.<br />
<br />
Herbert served a very extensive and successful career in the Galactic Empire's Military as a Rear Admiral and later as the High Inquisitor for the entire Empire under Emperor Vodo Bonias. However, his service was not always easy on the family. Participating in the great civil war of the Empire, Asenour, who at this time was a successful business tycoon, and Herbert, found themselves on different sides of the conflict. While their ventures were divided they remained united for the betterment of the family. <br />
<br />
When the war concluded and the sides reunited under the New Order, Asenour was able to capitalize on many of the reconstruction efforts and expansion opportunities that came in off world locations, namely the Empress Teta system. The Empress Teta System during the great civil war fell under the protection of his brother's fleets. In fact, so great was Herbert's rule over the system, that he was gifted an estate on the planet Empress Teta. The estate and opportunities were so vast that the brothers, now sharing the responsibility of leading the House Kaine, moved the entire family fortune and holdings to the newly christened Kaine Estate.<br />
<br />
Even with the family now situated in Empress Teta, both the brothers could not completely remove themselves from Coruscant. With large holdings of Asenour's business ventures tied to Coruscant's economy, Asenour eventually elected to return to with his immediate family, which included his children Gabriel, Reina, and Saige. Herbert too spent much of his time away from his new estate, due to his position in the 1st Imperial Fleet - and later as the High Inquisitor of the Imperial Inquisition - which was located in the governmental districts of Coruscant.<br />
<br />
While war raged on, Amelia had been lost to the world of artistic whimsy; little is known about how she conducted herself, as her life was completely separate of her brothers'. Some instances of her art surfaced on the galactic market though they were few. Having disappeared almost entirely, she would not make a reappearance until Year -8 Day 177, her return only long enough to relinquish parentship of her daughter to Herbert.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Herbert returned to Empress Teta following his retirement from Imperial service in order to raise Amelia's daughter, Lilith, but even that was short lived. Accused of treason, Herbert ventured back to Coruscant to prove his innocence, before being wrongfully executed by Grand Vizier Zerk. The death was a blow to the family and the effects did not end with Herbert. His nieces found themselves in the middle of the second great civil war, and his brother, Asenour, suffered great losses in both family holdings and business contracts.<br />
<br />
=== Current Age ===<br />
As the years passed, Lilith remained as the primary occupants of the Kaine Estate. Gabriel and Reina occupied the estate during schooling breaks, but their stays were always temporary. Though Isolde's family lived near the other Kaines, they maintained an individual home, but permitted Kyran frequent visits and time spent with the greater family. However, as the years went by, many Kaines were pulled away from their Tetan home and found themselves scattered throughout known space. With the passing of Asenour due to old age, the murder of his uncle, and the continued disappearance of Amelia, leadership of the family fell upon Asenour’s eldest child, Gabriel. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the new Head of House Kaine of the family was almost immediately greeted with one of his greatest challenges and subsequent failures, the execution of his young cousin Lilith by the Galactic Empire. The official Imperial report read that Lilith was arrested and tried as a traitor though documents on the matter were vague. Before her death sentence was carried out, Gabriel tried to exhaust all of his Imperial resources to arrange for her release or, if necessary, to take her place. Desiring to maintain his family's honor, he felt obliged to bear the punishment due to his direct involvement in securing her initial employment within the Empire. In his own mind, he seen this as a compromise to maintain family honor and his own honor in the eyes of the Empire. The last denial was given when he presented his case to the Galactic Empire’s Executor, [[Thomas Cherokee]].<br />
<br />
Utilizing what Imperial connections he still maintained, Gabriel was able to secure Lilith’s body and immediately had her rushed back to Teta along with his lifelong friend Sami Freemason. Sami, gifted in the Force and the powers of life and death, aided a Dark Jedi known as Talonus, in a failed attempt to use dark Force magic to resurrect Lilith's soul. Given Lilith's death, inadequacy of the resurrection ritual, and personal near death experience of the ritual, Gabriel held himself deeply responsible for the failures of the family, and more crucially, his failures to protect those he loved. Shaken, Gabriel decided the family would see their future elsewhere. He realized the dangers of a continued presence near Imperial Space, and with the guilt and grief of what the home on Teta presented, Gabriel decided to demolish the estate. Seeking a new home for the family - he wanted something grander than a simple estate or city. Gabriel wanted a domain where the rules of others could not hold authority over the Kaines. Fortuitously, with the aid of his brother-in-law, Crueya Vandron, Gabriel had established territorial dominance over some galactic systems. Without haste, development of the new Kaine nerve center began.<br />
<br />
However, these changes quickly fell apart. In spite of Kyran Caelius's Imperial Union loyalties, Gabriel and Vandron merged their holdings - and thus all house holdings - with the New Republic intelligence group Sha'kage. This merger led to the self-exile of the entire Edith Kaine bloodline and an internal crumbling of House Kaine. Recognizing the rift caused by decisions made, Gabriel elected to retire from all positions and to instead pass leadership of the family. House bylines required it pass to the next eldest, Gabriel's twin [[Reina Kaine]]; however, the patriarchal values meant it must pass to the eldest male, instead passing leadership to their second cousin, [[Kyran Caelius]]. <br />
<br />
Upon taking leadership, Caelius's first act was to publicly align House Kaine with Black Sun. His second act was to renounce all House Kaine members associated with the Galactic Alliance, firmly returning the House to its Imperial roots. This shift was cemented by the christening of the new House Kaine Palatial Estates in Black Sun territories. As an additional symbol of the changes, the title of ruler was changed to "Archon of House Kaine." Though less grand than previous holdings allowed, House Kaine yet again internally stabilized. However, Archon Caelius immediately set out to find a truly neutral home, to allow all members of the House - regardless of affiliation - to meet in brotherhood. This goal was accomplished on Year 18 Day 58, with the purchase of the [[Lorpfan (System)|Lorpfan system]] by Caelius from [[Corporate Sector Authority]], with the aid of now former Master [[Amelia Kolczynski]] and current Master [[Gand Xitwa]]. <br />
<br />
Despite House Kaine's historically xenophobic ideals, in mid Year 18, House Kaine became aligned with the Anzati [[Morbus Creche]] through the marriage of Archon Caelius and Creche leader [[Kira Morbus]]; while this alignment was eventually severed through their divorce in late Year 19, Morbus remained a Master of House Kaine. This departure from xenophobia was further seen in late Year 18 when House Kaine formally aligned with the Sakiyan [[Clan Fures]], a bond made possible by the relationship between Archon Caelius and [[Fures Nocti]], leader of Clan Fures. When asked about the multiple alien species in House Kaine, in addition to the uncommon allegiances, Caelius stated, "House Kaine still believes in Human superiority, but acknowledges that each species has exemplars which defy the limitations of their genetic constraints; my family has been fortunate enough to find those exceptional beings."<br />

=== Head of House Kaine ===<br />
The structure of House Kaine is very simplistic in nature. There is but one Head of House Kaine, or Monarch, while the rest of the family are all seen as equals. There currently exists no form of nobility or hierarchy save the passing of leadership of the family to the eldest male of its current living members. As the head of the family, the Head of House Kaine is granted the final word of matters of any member of the family that is in direct conflict with one another or in all matters that affect the entirety of the family. Generally speaking, the Head of House Kaine does not interfere with the day to day lives of his family; believing that strong independent members are the best way to ensure a strong and continuing legacy. The current Head of House Kaine is Kyran Caelius. <br />
<br />
=== Blood Members ===<br />
The only existing separation of standing within the House Kaine exists with those who are born with the Kaine bloodline, and those who are joined with it through marriage. Those born with the blood of Augustus Kaine are bestowed the title of True Blood Member of the House Kaine while those married are titled Blood Members. From its inception, the House Kaine held that the bonds of the marriage were more than superficial social or governmental bonds or contracts. Marriage is a spiritual combining of two souls and the mixing of familial blood relations. <br />
<br />
One of the few differences between Blood and True Blood Members is that if the family allows it, Blood Members can be exiled from the family, purged of familial connections through means that are not generally known but to the Head of House Kaine of the family. It must be noted that the act of cutting someone out of the family is extremely rare and the reasons for doing so must be of the direst situations. So rare is this sentence that it has only ever been used for [[Leigh Kellan]].<br />

Being a Master of House Kaine is not like being a retainer or servant to other notable houses. As a Master, what one is given is the commitment of House Kaine to aid, treat, and respect one as a member of the family. The family does not demand blind servitude or loyalty, they are not sworn by oath or creed to do so. The paradox to the situation is that they are not bound to be loyal to the family but are often added as Masters because of that reason. It is better to be loyal on your own accord than forced or coerced. While they share no blood with the Kaines, a Master's voice is respected and heeded. When someone is added as a Master to the House Kaine, the protection and aid of the family is granted to the said person and does not carry down to their children.<br />
<br />
Any member of the family can call for the addition or removal of a Master to House Kaine but the power to induct or expel lies in the hands of the Head of House Kaine. The nominating member will meet with the Head of House Kaine and a decision will be made whether or not to add or deny their addition. Those who are nominated do not know of the process until they are confirmed by the Head of House Kaine. Those denied are never informed of the candidacy out of respect to the family member that brought forth their name. Those added are brought before the Head of House Kaine and the family member who called for their addition and presented with small gifts fitting of their status within the family and given the seal of a Master. Given the meaning of the honor, Master status persists upon ones passing; the only deceased Master is [[Evelyn Reighner]].<br />

== Armada ==<br />
The House Kaine Armada is signified by the indicator [HKA] and is painted in a black and red color scheme, with the stylized Kaine logo often displayed somewhere prominent. Like the territories of House Kaine, it is managed by [[Kaine Initiative]]. While a sizeable fleet, it is still under development. However, there are already key crafts which compose the armada, many of which are rare ships that have been collected to help bolster the House Kaine Armada's military might. Though each ship has a different complement, Viper squadrons, Zeta-class Long-Range Shuttles, and AT-PTs compose much of the small scale accompaniment.<br />

'''Kyran William Kaine Caelius''' (<small>pronounced</small> /ˈkɪərən wɪl yəm keɪn keɪˈliˈʌs/ <small>or</small> ['''''KEER'''''-''in'' '''wil'''-y''uh'' m keyn key-lee-uhs]; born Year -14 Day 25) is the Archon of [[House Kaine]] and the Vigo of Interior within [[Black Sun]], additionally serving as the Vigo of Infrastructure and Vigo of Shadows in his tenure. An expert in the fields of civil engineering and organic architecture, after graduating from the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]] in [[Year 8]], Caelius spent many years on sabbatical to further his crafts. However, in [[Year 14]] he rejoined the greater society in order to begin his career as an Administrator in [[Dark Skies Gearworks]]. Notable for his full beard and extensive tattoo work, he is openly anti-[[Galactic Alliance]] in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|galactic conflict]], having at one point renounced his lineage, House Kaine, for its modern New Republic Intelligence ties. He has also been known to dabble in assorted art forms, though often for personal usage rather than financial benefit. Ideologically, Caelius espouses an obedience to authority philosophy and avidly supports laws and strict order. Despite his diplomatic roles within Black Sun and [[House Soyak-Ikron]], Caelius is further noted for his staunch support of personal privacy and his lack of transparency in individual endeavors. <br />
<br />
=Biography=<br />
===Early life===<br />
Kyran William Caelius was born in Xuczal City, planet [[Thyferra]], to educator Kasimir Caelius and his wife Isolde Kaine. His father was Thyferran, also born in Xuczal, while his mother was of Hapan descent. Caelius lived on Thyferra until at age 5, following the birth of his younger brother [[Kristijan Caelius|Kristijan]], his parents chose to move to the capital city of [[The Galaxy|Empress Teta]], Cinnagar, to live nearer the Kaine family estate. They believed a dominant [[Human]] environment, rather than one heavily influenced by the [[Vratix]], would offer greater intellectual stimulation and opportunity for their children.<br />
<br />
Living comfortably on the [[Galactic_Empire|Imperial]] world, Caelius's father was able to retire, electing to focus exclusively on instructing the Caelius brothers and their younger cousin, Lilith Kaine. Though initially the relationship between Kyran and Lilith was one of a forced teaching environment, over time their kinship thrived, establishing a long-time friendship. More fervently, however, Caelius eventually developed a distinctly fraternal bond with his elder cousin, [[Gabriel Kaine]]. As he grew older, these relationships would flourish into a sense of belonging, and an ideological basis for Caelius's strong beliefs in familial bonds.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, a pervasive recklessness and aggression developed in Caelius's demeanor. Often spending his nights on Empress Teta in [[ryll]] fueled euphoria, he learned to use dexterity in order to best sentients in street games. Frequently promiscuous and under the influence of various substances, he took to distractions of manipulation, conning the cons and testing the waters of black markets. When he wasn't scheming, he resorted to the creation of art and eventually vandalism to fill his time. The subject of his art differed greatly, varying from simple caricatured culture references, forays to the macabre, and less frequently political statements. <br />
<br />
It was due to his talents and outspoken behaviors, that an extremist [[Human|humanocentric]] movement had contacted, and eventually radicalized the young Thyferran. His natural diplomacy skills were immediately put to use to benefit the speciest endeavors. When cunning would fail to achieve their goals, he resorted to art as propaganda. For some years these behaviors persisted, and as Caelius hit college age he was convinced by his fellows to attend the University of Coruscant, in order to further his knowledge of his craft. Thus, in [[Year 4]], utilizing Asenour Kaine's connections to secure admittance to the university, he left to begin his life on Coruscant.<br />

}}Initially Caelius joined the International Relations program, and began his studies with a focus on advanced economic aspects of international relations. Given his teenage experiences, in this he excelled for the first year of his education. However, before beginning his second, he was approached by Civil Engineering staff at the university who believed his mind was better suited to planetary development. While hesitant to change his focus, given the reason for attending, some of his radical ideology had tempered without consistent influences. His decision was made, when the staff appealed to his narcissism, painting a picture of his potential influences on the worlds he could advance. <br />
<br />
Enrolling in both the Architectural and Structural Engineering programs, Caelius exceeded expectations. In a hologram to a colleague, one of his Professor's described his abilities, "When he looks at a planet, his mind sees the future through its potential. He doesn't see bare ground, but the evolution of a world from the architectural potential which lie within it to the metropolis which could flourish above it. His capacity to envision each plausible component is outstanding." In [[Year 6]] the head of the Kaine house, Herbert Kaine, was executed for treason by the [[Galactic Empire]]. This event deeply affected his family, and the psychological stress furthered the already significant reliance on vices, despite his young age. While studying at the University, he also met [[Draelor Nah`utal]], quickly becoming friends with his eventual Imperial ally.<br />
<br />
Graduating in [[Year 8]], Caelius had varied considerations to take into account for his future. Deciding to continue honing his craft, he set off on a six year leave to explore the galaxy, specifically the genesis of observable architectural cultural diversity. At each planet he explored disparate colonies and cities, in order to study the origin, design, and integration of society with its natural environment. Though he refused to utilize communicators while visiting inchoate communities, Caelius maintained semi-frequent contact with his family whenever his travels brought him to urbanized environments. <br />
<br />
It was during his travels that Caelius began sporting his beard, not for fashion but convenience. While visiting a small primal colony in the forests of [[Gannaria (Planet) | Gannaria]], he was offered a tattoo of a stylized [[eye-snatcher]], a revered bird within their people, as a parting gift. Having it placed on his left outer collar, this would become the first of many in a long tradition.<br />
<br />
===The Family===<br />
Visiting the the city of Imthitill, on the [[Aqualish]] homeworld of [[Ando_(Planet)|Ando]], Caelius decided he had spent enough time traveling the galaxy; finally he felt that his experiences would allow him to build worlds fitting of his vision. Finishing his business on the planet, he gathered his belongings and immediately began travel to the planet of [[Vorsia Companion]] where he had received an offer of employment. Arriving on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 217]] he worked as an Administrator, helping with the civil development and organization of Dark Skies Gearworks.<br />
<br />
In returning to the civilized world, Caelius also endeavored to expand his connections with non-GA governments. This goal was two-fold: he wanted to offer his services to the various sects of the galaxy, but he further hoped to establish connections with like-minded sentients. In studying the various governments, House Soyak-Ikron of the [[Avance Coalition]] appealed to Caelius's values. After a quick application and interview process, he joined the House and its Political Caste. <br />
<br />
While working within House Soyak-Ikron, a series of events led to Caelius's decision to serve Avance full-time. This proved to be short lived however, as after meeting and marrying his first wife [[Leigh Kellan]], he moved his life to [[Malicar (Planet)|Malicar]]. Electing to work for [[White Star]], he believed the Black Sun ideology was more appropriate to the lens through which Caelius viewed the galaxy. Despite his career change, this did not slow his efficiency within Avance, and eventually Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]] named Caelius as Arch Lord of House Soyak-Ikron, the Second-in-Command and leader of the Political Caste.<br />
<br />
Likewise, within the Black Sun collective, Caelius's devotion was immediately apparent and quickly he earned his place in the Black Sun Family. From this position, his staunch work ethic elevated him to the Consiglio and after a relatively short period, his continued efforts led to his invitation into Black Sun's [[Black Sun Family Council|Family Council]] as Vigo, by [[Leader of Black Sun|Underlord]] [[Alexander von Ismay]] on [[Year 15|Year 15 Day 60]]. His first Vigo role was that of Vigo of Negotiation, beginning on Year 15 Day 72. His fidelity was further recognized on Year 15 Day 221, by joint promotion to the Family's Second-in-Command position, Regent, with his wife, before he additionally became the role of Vigo of Shadows on Year 15 Day 246. Given his central government roles, Caelius decided to further his education by pursuing an advanced Doctoral degree in management at his alma mater following his second Vigo role appointment.<br />
<br />
The Regents oversaw Black Sun operations while the Underlord attended to Black Sun's more distant galactic holdings. Beneath their rule, the Collective made many advancements towards legitimization. However, when Underlord Ismay returned in late Year 15, Caelius decided to take another small sabbatical, stating he would return after the New Year. Though the need for Regents was removed with the Underlord's active return, Vigo Caelius retained his position as a member of the Family Council. While control of Black Watch was returned to the Underlord's direct duties, he maintained his position as the Vigo of Negotiation. However, following the [[Avance Coalition]] and [[Trade Federation]] merger, Caelius's membership within House Soyak-Ikron was forcibly terminated due to the Trade Federation's stance on Black Sun.<br />
<br />
As the Vigo of Negotiation, Caelius appointed former Vigo [[Ahsas Rotciv Maharg]] to the position of his second-in-command, Minister of Culture, while additionally taking the role of Interim Vigo of Infrastructure. Following the declaration of sovereignty of Black Sun, and after months of planning successes, Caelius's role in Infrastructure was cemented. The governmental office was well-suited to Caelius's educational background and personal passions. Given a new Black Sun policy of one office per Councillor, the torch of Negotiation was passed to Vigo Maharg on [[Year 16|Year 16 Day 248]]. After overseeing ongoing development of [[Reyvia IV]], Caelius eventually retired from all duties on [[Year 17|Year 17 Day 68]]. Though no public statement was made, rumors attributed his retirement to an aura of disrespect and mistrust within the Family under Underlord Alexander von Ismay. <br />
<br />
During his retirement, in late Year 17, Caelius was infected with the [[Metamorphosis Plague]]. Suffering from vertigo and an insatiable thirst, Caelius immediately sought medical care at the [[Black Sun Governance|University of Malicar's]] health research facilities. After running numerous tests, it was determined that Caelius had contracted the galaxy's most prolific virus. Caelius was provided with a post-exposure prophylaxis which halted the plague's progress. Researchers informed Caelius that his genetic code would persistently include an immunological memory of the virus, but that the changes associated with the plague were staved off. Though it took some time to recover from his illness, following Dark Prince [[Jeor Knight|Jeor Knight's]] ascension, Caelius's retirement ended and after a year of service, on [[Year 18|Year 18 Day 129]] he rejoined the Family Council as the Vigo of Interior, formerly Negotiation, once more. Additionally, in late Year 18 Caelius completed his doctorate of philosophy in management from the University of Coruscant, with a specialization in 'Organizations and Management'.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Tall for a human and muscularly lean, as is often seen in [[Thyferran|Thyferrans]] and [[Hapan|Hapans]], Caelius stands at 2.03 meters and weighs 113.40 kilograms. He is covered in a variety of tattoos that extend from his face to his feet. The majority of his tattoos were completed on a unique planet, with each abstractly representing the core experience of the culture from which it originated. Caelius has admitted that he can no longer recall each tattoo; rather he asserts that each piece of work represents another life experience. Though he has always held a keen fixation on physical fitness, Caelius suffers weakness in his non-dominant right arm. Having elected to have the internal organic structure of his arm enhanced with cybernetics, faulty connections in the arm's neural networks contradicted any intended benefits. Despite this weakness, Caelius is exceptionally dexterous and a master of unarmed combat. He began studying boxing during university, and continued to hone his skills during his first sabbatical, finding new Masters under which to study and new styles to learn, such as k'Jtari, Gravik-nez, and Wrruushi. His enthusiasm for physical fitness further extends into sports. He is the owner of the Malicar Howlrunners, a bolo-ball team in the [[Black Sun Bolo-ball League]]. Furthermore, he serves as Captain for and plays the position of Center on the [[Asation Outlaws]], a shockball team in the [[Galactic Shockball League]]. Due to his Hapan lineage, Caelius suffers from some minor night blindness.<br />
<br />
Stylistically, Caelius is diverse in his choices, his wardrobe conforming to the demands of his environment. Casually, he wears simple tee shirts or button-ups, denym pants, and boots. However, more frequently, he is at home in formal attire; his most common wardrobe appears to be three piece suits. For work, he often wears a thick jumpsuit in order to protect himself from the persistent particulate hazards. His eyes - originally a deep brown - are a red tone, a physical sign of corruption caused by half a decade of his closest relationships being with people who would eventually connect with and succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. His usually long, often coiffed locks are a dark sepia, though he has been known to sport shorter hair with blonde tones. Though for much of his life he displayed shorter facial hair, since late [[Year 10]] he has worn a full beard which is meticulously groomed at all times; given its rarity, it has become a trademark of his appearance. He has occasionally, and rarely, shaved it, but has always grown it back. Though the resemblance between Caelius and his father was often noted prior to Year 10, since growing the full beard - a style which his father has worn for many years - the resemblance has become even more pronounced.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Throughout his higher education, Caelius was regarded by his fellows as handsome, charming, intelligent, and kind. However, others have described him as egocentric, cunning, and at times quick to anger. Known for his proneness to boredom, frequently he has exhibited impulsive and irresponsible behaviors in order to cull his listlessness. Despite the conflicting accounts of his personality, it has often been noted that while appearing serious and brooding, his conversational demeanor is warm, and one of amiable sarcastic wit. Yet as Caelius has aged, his personality has hardened some, his more charismatic behaviors seemingly reserved for professional or deeply personal interactions. Those with whom Caelius interacted during his second sabbatical remarked that following his divorce he became more guarded intimately but otherwise developed a nature far more open than before.<br />
<br />
When questioned about galactic politics, Caelius has favored the [[Imperial Union]] for its stance against the [[Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]], "ideological deficiencies [and role as] the self-proclaimed saviors of the sentient condition." He has further supported the [[Galactic Concordiate]] for their rejection of the [[Galactic Alliance|Alliance]]. On the occasions Caelius has been publicly involved in political deliberations, he has demonstrated an ability to utilize eloquence in order to garner support for his viewpoints.<br />
<br />
Around those with whom Caelius is close, he has demonstrated a candid capability for affection and devout loyalty. Within his close interpersonal relationships, a clear sense of willing vulnerability and sincerity has been observed between him and those he calls friend. However, the frequency in which he has engaged in deep connections has always appeared limited. Specifically, those known to populate his inner circle are limited effectively to the Black Sun Family and House Kaine, with few exceptions.<br />
<br />
===Relationships===<br />

====Family====<br />
Despite being the grandson of Edith Kaine, Caelius failed to foster close relationships with his first cousins. Rather, due to being raised with the Hazel Kaine lineage, his second cousins became the family members with whom he most identified. Though he had a brother, Caelius's relationship with the twins [[Gabriel Kaine|Gabriel]] and [[Reina Kaine]] was distinctly fraternal and sororal, respectively. While the twins' corporation, [[Holowan Mechanicals]] aligned with the Galactic Alliance, familial bonds preempted political expectations for many years. However, in early Year 17 the merger of Holowan and [[Sha`kage]] into [[The Resistance]] led to Caelius forsaking House Kaine. Despite his self-exile, in mid Year 17 Caelius became Archon of House Kaine due to the unexpected retirement of Gabriel Kaine. Unfortunately the bloodlines of Edith and Hazel Kaine continued to experience a rift of allegiances, as House Kaine formally aligned itself with Black Sun despite the New Republic alignment of The Resistance.<br />
<br />
Caelius's closest familial relationship is with his brother, Kristijan. Though they had scarce contact during Caelius's sabbatical, upon his return their bond was instantly reformed. Since joining Black Sun, Kristijan has served as an integral member to Caelius's crew, acting as the lead member of his personal administration. Kristijan has also acted as personal security for Caelius on many occasions. Caelius's second closest familial relationship is with his second cousin once removed, [[Natasha Kaine]]. Charged with the murder of her rapist on [[Danuta]], Kaine was exiled from the [[Halla]] sector and sent to live with Caelius, by her father [[Gabriel Kaine]]. Those close to Caelius have commented that he and Natasha Kaine have bonded through their shared destructive tendencies.<br />

====Romantic====<br />
Known for self-indulgence, Caelius has been the subject of much gossip regarding intimate relationships with men and women. However, he has continuously sparsely commented. In Year 14, Caelius was introduced to [[Leigh Kellan]], via his employer. Characteristic to Caelius's preference for privacy, their relationship was initially secret: "I take solstice in the fact that I control my own words. Others can do and say what they like. If I don't open my life to the public realm, however, it retains a certain intimate solitude that I value." It was later released that on [[Year 14|Year 14 Day 291]], the two were married in a private ceremony. Despite years of positive public appearances, Kellan elected to end the marriage while Caelius was on his second sabbatical. By mid Year 16, [[Mieru'kar|Mieru'karan]] media frequently reported Caelius and long-time confidant [[Evelyn Reighner]] imbibing the Black Sun nightlife and, later in the year, rumors swarmed about a romantic relationship with [[Rayus Kestyn]]. In late Year 17, Caelius began dating [[Zeltron]]/[[Kiffar]] [[Astrid Sarka]], showing a stark departure from the xenophobic ideals of his youth and culminating in a serious, nearly year long entanglement. When asked why he was so public about this relationship, and how he thought people viewed he and Sarka's evolution from colleagues to partners, Caelius stated, "We wanted to be as honest as possible, and really about two people discovering each other ... it really marks the beginning of this relationship that is ever changing and learning about one another." [http://kyran.kaine.us/Individuals/Kyran/Holocron/kyran-caelius-interview.mp3 Interview Audio] By mid Year 18 Caelius began dating [[Anzati]] [[Kira Morbus]], after years of rumors about their mutual attraction. When asked for comment, Caelius very simply said, "I've wanted her for years." On Year 18 Day 168, it was confirmed that the couple were married privately, eventually divorcing after a little over a galactic standard year. <br />
===Views===<br />
{{Quote<br />
|quote = Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
|person = Human Philosopher}}<br />
====Xenophobia====<br />
Caelius has historically been an adamant opponent of sentient equality, though his beliefs have lessened. Having been raised from an early age to embrace [[Human|humanocentric]] views, his thoughts on sentient equality were further compounded by the staunch [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] atmosphere of the [[Coruscant|University of Coruscant]]. As an ideological basis for his support of galactic non-human speciesism, Caelius has argued that human superiority has existed through the universe as a natural state. He has further cited the consistent triumphs of humans over others as galactic leaders. While his radical viewpoint diminished some during his engineering sabbatical, the Year 16 leave of absence further abated his xenophobic ideals. Though he maintains the belief in human superiority, antagonism of non-humans has dissipated. His view of the colorful humanoid races (i.e. Chiss, Falleen, Mirialan, and Zeltron) has experienced a complete shift, with Caelius viewing them positively even though he still believes Humans are superior. He also holds a positive view of Anzati, respecting their power and heightened place on the proverbial food chain. He views Kiffar as effectively Human, with the ability to do parlor tricks. On the subject of alien officers in Black Sun or alien Masters of House Kaine, Caelius has commented that he holds them in high-regards, viewing them as exceptions to the inferiority of their species.<br />
====Religion====<br />
For most of Caelius's life he held no spiritual convictions. Rather, he firmly rejected the belief in any deity and would openly challenge theists; his combativeness was particularly evident when sentients would attempt to proselytize the Thyferran Hapan hybrid. Despite his atheist dogma, upon hearing of [[Lilith Kaine|Lilith Kaine's]] execution, he suffered a severe emotional crisis. This exigency would culminate in a search for spirituality and eventually a strong uncharacteristic belief in the [[Reansucru]] faith and its deification of The Ones. After discussion with Reansucru leaders, it was determined that Caelius followed the [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Shade of Blue]] as his primary Force Shade. As he aged, it was further decided that his secondary Force Shade was [[The_Force#Alternate_Views|Black]]: <br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
| quote = With the usage of knowledge, the Shade of Blue can be manipulative, logical, deceitful, and with patience…powerful. The Shade of Blue values a person's intellect, their ability to be creative, and [their ability to be] progressive. Many followers of this shade go as far as creating great machines, wonders of bewilderment, and vast cities. Choosing to employee secrecy and schemes, you will hardly find a blue vanguard, that is pride of the Shade of White. One needs to be mindful that they do not become overly manipulative and treacherous in pursuit of this shade. Prayers sent to the Shade of Blue ask for both knowledge and wisdom. <br>Never has there been a shade of the Force that is so loved and hated as that of the Shade of Black. Practitioners of this shade love the power, but oft forget the price that is paid for such power. The Shade of Black utilizes fear, darkness, ambition, and death. Those who call on the Shade of Black can be called ambitious and unashamed, but the draw of what is gained is sometimes lost on those that become devouring and enslaving. One can not serve the darkness without the taint of death, decay, and corruption being ever presence. However, as hated and or feared as it is, there can not be light without darkness, or life without death. Prayers to the Shade of Black seek power, knowledge, and needs of those praying in all matters of fear and death. <br />

===Notable Assets===<br />
As Archon of House Kaine and a Vigo of Black Sun, Caelius has amassed billions in professional and personal assets. In terms of small assets, Caelius is a known weapons collector, owning nearly one of every armament available in the galaxy. He is also a known howlrunner enthusiast, owning and training a pack of the canines. Though his fleets are staffed by thousands of droids, he has remarked that his most cherished droids are the MSE-6 'Mouse' "Micro II", a gift from his cousin Gabriel Kaine, and the BD-3000 "Vivica", which sports a unique construction of his own design. Professionally, Caelius has stated that his pride and joy is the [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer]] [BSS] Vicious Divinity, his Black Sun Vigo flagship. Personally, he has several additional notable assets, including dominion over House Kaine and its various resources, his private flagship, his work fleet flagships, and a fighter collection which consists of many of the galaxy's rare or restricted fighters:<br />

'''Eidola''', more formally known as the '''Eidola Pirates''', is the largest and most notorious organized gang of pirates in the galaxy. Although the group controls numerous galactic sectors, their activities seem primarily concentrated throughout the eastern regions of the galaxy, particularly within [[Hutt Space]]. Originally founded by the notable scammer and thief, [[Keir Santage]], and subsequently led by his daughter, [[Teniel Djo]], the pirate gang evolved from a small nucleus of thieves circa [[Year 4]] into a powerful government.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Eidola began as a small tight-knit group of thieves under the leadership of [[Keir Santage]]. Early members included [[Bruce Spear]], [[Derek Shado|Derek Solo]], and [[Lloyd Font]]. The group of freelancers eventually moved into [[Outrider Trading]] after Keir was given its leadership, and the company was transformed into a den of thieves who became widely regarded as the best in the galaxy's criminal underworld. Keir later sold Outrider Trading and purchased a medical company called [[Biotech Medical]], and the group moved to the new company, picking up new recruits like [[Utono Brutza]] along the way. Later they sold Biotech and created a new collective from scratch that they named [[Malebranche]], consisting of two separate but similarly named groups. Soon after, one of the two Malebranche groups became '''Eidola'''.<br />
<br />
Keir led Eidola for barely five months before his alleged death in [[Year 5]], and the group was passed on to his teenage daughter, [[Teniel Djo]]. Colloquially nicknamed the Pirate Queen, which became the informal title of the pirate group's leader, she rapidly rose to galactic fame through her clever confidence scams and her charismatic media appearances, and she transformed the group of pirates into a formal government over many of the [[Outer Rim Territories]]. She led the group for seven years before committing suicide in the [[Maw]] in [[Year 12]], along with a handful of fellow pirates and a number of Eidola's finest ships. This left Eidola in the hands of Warlord [[Squall Chitose]].<br />
<br />
Chitose led Eidola as its Pirate King for five years. During his tenure, he strove to expand the pirate-controlled territory throughout the galaxy, and Hutt Space was secured as Eidolan territory under his leadership. Although the group historically did not pay its members any salary, preferring to rely on the common distribution of ill-gotten gains, Chitose instituted a small monthly salary to ensure that even the newer and less experienced pirates would have some resources while learning the ropes. Despite being publicly painted as a carefree drunk, he engaged in diplomatic negotiations with various galactic entities in the pirates' best interests. But over the years, he found himself increasingly less able to participate in the pirate group's operations, and in Year 17, his former second in command and close friend [[Syn]] replaced him as leader of the group.<br />
<br />
Since assuming leadership, Syn began to focus more of her attention inwardly on the internal organization of the group and the wellbeing of her fellow pirates. She realized that the majority of Eidola's vast resources were going unused and began to distribute them freely, assigning new quartermasters and enabling them to develop the group's space in order to create an enormous haven for pirates within their systems. She provided the pirates with the means to undertake their own operations both overtly and covertly, and enabled them to accrue enormous sums of credits by putting Eidola's resources to good use. In a somewhat questionable move, she also ended her predecessor's diplomatic efforts and declared all groups within the galaxy a fair target for the pirates.<br />

<br />
The '''Máurari Blackguard''' is a Force-using group that exists within Black Sun, and acts as the [[Black Sun Family Council]]'s extension into the realm of the Force. Founded by Vigo [[Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar]], it combines the beliefs of the old Máurari Force sect and the teachings of the Blackguard.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
The Maurari Blackguard was formed from two force sects: Máurari, which was created by Ingo R. Vailis to serve Black Sun, and the ancient Blackguard, created by former member of the Brotherhood of Darkness and apprentice of Lord Skere Kaan, Vulta Daanat. Soon after the formation of Máurari, there was betrayal within the ranks and Vailis slowly lost his grip on the sect. It became a shell as its members slowly disappeared, its' teachings mostly forgotten. It was when Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar returned that the Black Sun Family Council asked him to take on the mantle of Head of Máurari. Máurari's identity was indistinct, so Edhrikhor used what he had learned about the Blackguard from his pilgrimage and what was left of the teachings of Máurari to create Black Sun's new force sect: Máurari Blackguard.<br />
<br />
==Beliefs==<br />
The Máurari Blackguard believe that to increase one's knowledge of the Force, one must understand the philosophies and abilities of other Force traditions around the galaxy. Therefore, the Máurari Blackguard strives to have members of their order scattered around the galaxy to achieve their goal. The Máurari Blackguard also believe that there is no light or dark side, and that the balance dwells within the user. They seek to bring balance to the Force within themselves; pragmatic in their beliefs, they hold that the Force is more of a tool than a religion, a tool that they use to enforce the [[Black Sun Family Council|Black Sun Family Council's]] will.<br />
<br />
==Leadership==<br />
Máurari Blackguard is led by the Vigo of Máurari, Vigo Edhrikhor Tlakh`sar. Vigo Tlakh`sar is responsible for the development of the Force within Black Sun. He is entrusted with all major Force decisions and actions made by the syndicate. He is further responsible for organizing and developing the Force within Black Sun, in the advancement of the Máurari identity. Along with the Black Sun Family Council, the Grand Magister also has an advisory council consisting of three Magisters.<br />

Xitwa, a male albino Gand, is the current High Ambassador of the New Republic's Diplomatic Command, a founding member of the Resistance movement against the Imperial Union, owner of the Mining Corporation Cloud City, and a former two term Secretary General of the Galactic Alliance. Despite maintaining a personal residence on the planet of Danuta in the Colovas system, Xitwa has taken up full-time residence in the Eberon system where he serves as Governor.<br />

<br />
The Gand, Xitwa, was born on the planet of Gand in the city of Kazrad. Kazrad, home to the clan of Gands with the same name, lays directly across the sea just west of the planets central city of Bak'tana. His parents were of low status and were laborers within the community and in keeping with Gand culture were not accomplished or notable enough to warrant use of their surname, let alone their first names. From the onset of his birth, Xitwa would bring about a level of notability to his family, albeit not the type that they had wanted. Xitwa was born an albino. Where most Gands have a brown exoskeleton and silver eyes, Xitwa was almost completely white with bright red eyes. The notability brought about by his appearance was not based off any great deed or action worthy of honor or renown and as such was a great source of personal shame.<br />
<br />
Despite the infamy of his birth and appearance, Xitwa would experience a relatively normal childhood. He would learn the ways of his people and embrace the Gand culture to its fullest. Coming of age, Xitwa would go on to be tested as a Findsman. He had hoped that becoming an Findsman would restore some level of honor to himself. When he failed the tests, Xitwa would return to his family and join them as laborers finding some level of solace working with his hands.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Faerytail Family''' is a newly formed Government that is unique in the galaxy as one of the very few that has been created without outside help or through acts of theft or looting. While it is still young and small compared to some of the older Governments it boasts an active population that are committed to making Faerytail great. Its current and founding Head of State is King-Father [[Simkin Dragoneel]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Faerytail Family was initially started with the creation of [[Faerytail Medical]]. [[Faerytail Medical]] was formed by the dream of [[Simkin Dragoneel]], [[Erik Thor]], and [[Kirlos Serlon]] in their desire for medical items and services to be more easily accessible for all people located in the galaxy.<br />
<br />
The name of Faerytail was created from a legend in certain backwater worlds located on the rim about a mythical creature known as the Faery. According to the legends, this vicious little creature’s tail has the power to cure any illness, and even regenerate limbs. Some legends even claim this object has the power to bring back life to the recently dead. The [[Faerytail Family]] has been devoted ever since to curing the sick and selling Medical Items to all beings.<br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
However, this universe is not a nice or kind place. Many different groups and people have tried to hurt members of Faerytail in their benevolent quest. In order to better defend themselves, Guardians of the Fey was formed (GoF).<br />
<br />
For a while, the elite mercenaries of Guardians of the Fey were enough. However, the territory that Faerytail controlled kept growing larger, and a change was needed to better oversee them. On Y17 D97 GoF was renamed to The Faerytail Family (TFF). A restructuring was also started changing the Family structure that Faerytail was known for into a Family/Monarchy hybrid. This made the founder of Faerytail take a new title of "King-Father" and his wife Astrid to take on the new title of "Queen-Mother". With many more changes to come Faerytail will continue to grow and adapt to better serve its members and the population it gives safe haven to.<br />
<br />
Is it a fantasy to actually care about ones members and to do everything in your power to protect them? Perhaps it is.... a mere Faerytail......<br />
<br />
===[[Family Corporations]]===<br />
<br />
Currently the [[Faerytail Family]] is made up of:<br />
<br />
- [[Faerytail Medical]]<br />
<br />
- [[Faerytail Recycling]]<br />
<br />
- [[The Je`daii Order]]<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The reason Faerytail is referred to as a "Family" rather than a Kingdom is because of the personality of its Founder, [[Simkin Dragoneel]]. Simkin believes all members of Faerytail are to be viewed as important and close-knit, like a family. Also it is to show his love for each of his members.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The regular Faerytail Family Military consists of the [[Guardians of the Fey]], which is divided into various task forces, while all other members of the Family act as reservists. The Guardians are led by [[Elubei Mont`arne]] and the Second in Command is [[Bael Kyras]].<br />

'''The Imperial Union''' is an official alignment of great powers in the ongoing [[Second Galactic Civil War]] against the [[Galactic Alliance]]. The alignment formally began circa [[Year 7|Year 7 Day 334 - 336]] with a defensive military pact between the [[Galactic Empire]] and the [[Hapes Consortium]], although its origins could be informally traced to a non-aggression pact signed on [[Year 4|Year 4 Day 334]] between [[Greyson Uebles|Emperor Uebles]] and [[Jessy James|King James I]]. <br />
<br />
For much of its life, the Imperial Union consisted of the [[Galactic Empire]],<ref name="Founding Members"/> [[Hapes Consortium]],<ref name="Founding Members"/> [[Mandalore]],<ref name="Mandalore"/> [[Trade Federation]],<ref name="Trade Federation"/> [[Tion Hegemony]],<ref name="Tion Hegemony"/> and [[Aurodium Legion]],<ref name="Aurodium Legion"/> as well as their respective satellites. However, circa [[Year 13]], internal disagreements arose between Union members regarding the further evolution of the alliance. While there was an aversion to disbanding the Imperial Union completely, some governments were unable to agree to either commit to a full alliance within the Imperial Union, or reduce their accumulated powers of veto if they wanted to remain neutral in the Galactic Civil War. Some governments took the stance that they would not agree to sign a new charter without having unlimited access to the Galactic Empire's technology; something the Empire was unwilling to do. Unable to come to a resolution agreeable to all parties, the majority of the Union resigned from the Charter on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 300]], with all parties pledging to pursue bilateral treaties with former signatories.<ref name="Dissolution">[http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/display.php?postID=32305 GNS: "Alia Tendanda Via Est" - Year 13 Day 300]</ref><br />
<br />
Several weeks later, on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], the Imperial Union was reformed with a new improved charter that addressed deficiencies in its previous iteration.

Year 14 Day 184 saw the [[Anzatan Commonwealth]], headed by Chancellor [[Azarin Isard]] and formerly a neutral power in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|Galactic conflict]], join the war on the Imperial side by officially uniting with the Imperial Union, aptly demonstrating how much Anzatan-Imperial relations had improved since the reign of the von Ismays.<ref name="Anzatan Commonwealth Joins IU"> [http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/gnsarchive.php?display=2&postID=34420&category=20 GNS: "The Anzatan Commonwealth joins the Imperial Union" - Year 14 Day 184]</ref> On Year 19 Day 263 The [[Faerytail Family]] was the next government to join the Imperial Union, under King [[Simkin Dragoneel]], following an extended diplomatic expansion between the government and the Imperial Union and a joint military campaign in the [[http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Hosnian_(System)|Hosnian]] system.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
[[Image:Charon.jpg|200px|thumb|The origins of the Imperial Union date back to [[Charon]]'s brief stint as the Imperial liaison to the [[Hapes Consortium]].]]<br />
The [[Galactic Empire]] and [[Hapes Consortium]] first established diplomatic relations in [[Year 1]] when a youthful [[J. Charon]] was assigned as the Imperial liaison to the Hapan regime. During the reigns of [[Emperor|Emperors]] [[Trey Connel]], [[Mccarthur]] and later Emperor Charon himself, diplomatic contact was sporadic, and the Consortium's established ties to the [[Rebel Alliance]] were eventually discarded by Year 3. In part thanks to [[Jessy James|King James]] prior service in the [[Imperial Navy]], the Consortium established friendly ties with the leadership of the [[Imperial Core]], and consequently the [[Dark Empire]].<br />
<br />
Following the re-unification of the Galactic Empire and the Dark Empire, the diplomatic process became more formalized with the Galactic Empire under [[Greyson Uebles|Emperor Uebles]] recognizing the Hapes Consortium. A non-aggression pact between the two governments was announced over the Galactic News Service (GNS) on [[Year 4|Year 4 Day 334]] causing an uproar in the [[Rebel Alliance]] and [[Jedi Praxium]]. <br />
<br />
In the years that followed, the Galactic Empire continued to expand its sphere of influence in the form of client states and satellites under the [[Imperial City-State Agreement]], which included the [[New Anzat Order]] and [[12 Colonies]]. While the Hapes Consortium was invited to join, the offer was rejected by the Hapan Royal Council, who did not wish to become subordinate of any other government. Consequently, [[Vodo Bonias|Emperor Bonias]] and King James began planning a formalized alliance where each government retained equal standing and representation. The Imperial Union was declared circa Year 7 Day 334 - 336 with the Galactic Empire and Hapes Consortium as its founding members.<ref name="Founding Members"/><br />
<br />
The offer of the Imperial City-State Agreement was also extended by the Imperial regime to the [[Trade Federation]] under [[Corbin Esco|Viceroy Corbin Esco]], who declined. A conflict ensued between the Galactic Empire and the Trade Federation, continuing through the reign of [[Bren Morgarr|Viceroy Bren Morgarr]], and in to the initial period of [[Jacob Jansen|Viceroy Jacob Jansen]]'s leadership. Ultimately the Trade Federation sued for peace and was eventually invited to join the Imperial Union, which it did on Year 9 Day 295.<ref name="Trade Federation"/> <br />
<br />
===Structure===<br />
[[Image:Imperial Union_Territory_Year_12_Day_328.jpg|200px|thumb|Extent of the Imperial Union's territory in blue on [[Year 12|Year 12 Day 328]] with its rival, the [[Galactic Alliance]], in red.]]<br />
The Imperial Union is structured in three tiers of membership; Executive, Parliamentary, and Provisional. These varying levels of membership provide flexibility for its members, and allows a choice as to the level of commitment that each member will invest within The Union, to be determined through their own means of internal governance. All members of the Imperial Union make up what is known as the Union Council and is the body that governs the Imperial Union, and is mandated with determining the collective actions of The Union, voting on matters brought before it and within the scope of the Council’s authority, and directing the priorities and focus of any committees.<br />
<br />
The Union Council is composed of two sub-groups; the first being the Grand Parliament where the majority of the undertakings of the Imperial Union are determined, and using a voting system. The Grand Parliament consists of one representative from each Member of the Imperial Union, with each member designating one Representative to serve on the Grand Parliament, using whatever selection procedures they see fit. The second group being the Executive Council, a grouping of large and influential governments that have formed an alliance within the IU Charter, and oversee the ongoing activities of the Imperial Union. The Grand Parliament and the Executive Council are chaired by the Head of Parliament, and the Speaker of the Union Council respectively.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Grand Parliament, the Imperial Union maintains several committees for the purposes of providing specialized attention, expertise, and discussion on specific areas of interest. The Grand Parliament may create and disband committees as they see fit, however there are three standing committees that may not be abolished; these are The Economic Committee, The Defence Committee, and the Intelligence Committee.<br />
<br />
The Union was previously directed by the Leaders' Council. This council was composed of the heads of each Union government and a chairman, elected by those heads of government. The Leaders' Council formulated and directed all major pan-Union policy, including the admission of new members, united declarations of war, and the formulation of joint projects. Certain members of the Leaders' Council were granted a veto power, to which they could use without override, and contrary to the will of the majority of the Union. This power, combined with no clear guidelines under which the veto power was to be given to members of the IU, was a further source of contention for the attempted rework of the IU Charter in Year 13.<br />
<br />
===Internal Dissent===<br />
[[Image:Imperial Union Dissolution.jpg|200px|thumb|On [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 300]], after lengthy debate, Union officials announced the formal dissolution of their alliance.<ref name="Dissolution"/>]]<br />
Throughout Year 12, discussion among the Imperial Union members revealed a common set of concerns regarding the purpose, structure, and management of the Imperial Union. After considerable discussion among individual members of the Union, the Galactic Empire began drafting a new charter for the Imperial Union in early Year 13, under the auspices of Lord [[Seele]]. This new charter was developed to provide clear goals for the Imperial Union, establish a framework that encouraged members to seek continual improvement of their regimes, remove the limitation of only governments being able to join, allow more flexible external relationships for each member, and provide a clearly delineated set of expectations for its members. In addition, there were two documents that accompanied the charter which were foundations of the new way in which the Imperial Union would operate: The "Imperial Union Technology Trade Agreement" and the "Imperial Union Member Development Guidelines."<br />
<br />
The floating of the new charter received an icy reception from the majority of the members, with many uncomfortable with Article VI of the new charter that established a formalized alliance between members of the Executive tier. Members such as the [[Hapes Consortium]], [[Trade Federation]], and [[Mandalore]] were fearful of entering a formal alliance with the Empire for fear of becoming targets of the [[New Republic]]-led Galactic Alliance. Refusing to accept only parliamentary status within the Imperial Union, where they could have maintained any Non-Aggression Pacts or trade agreements with the Galactic Alliance, these three members pushed for unlimited access to Imperial technology with the reasoning that it would enable them to fight the Galactic Alliance.<br />
<br />
The Empire was unwilling to provide unlimited access to Imperial technology, and instead opted for the Imperial Union Technology Trade Agreement document, wherein access to Imperial technology was guaranteed to the various membership levels, as well as the accumulation of Imperial Union Points on a monthly basis which they could spend on technology. It was made clear that the IU Technology Agreement formed only the baseline of access to Imperial technology, and that all members of the IU would be free to seek individual trade agreements with the Empire for further technology (which was the only method of obtaining technology in the IU at the time). <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the other members of the IU felt that this wasn't enough, and continued to demand greater access to Imperial technology before they would sign a new charter. The Empire remained steadfast and refused to provide any further technology to any members of the Union whilst the new charter remained on the discussion table. Unable to come to a consensus on this major point where neither side would budge, charter discussions stalled.<br />
<br />
Further to this there were mislead concerns the Empire wished to transform the Union into a purely military alliance, but the existing signatories refused to do so without guaranteed access to advanced Imperial technology. This misconception was based around the concept within the new charter that Union members would have options regarding how involved they were with the IU, but advancement to the Executive Council required complete commitment to the IU. Many were unwilling to entertain what they felt was a "lesser status" of Parliamentary member and maintain their current suit of political arrangements with those at war with other IU members.<br />
[[Image:Imperial Union_Territory_Year_13_Day_308.png|200px|thumb|The loss of key signatories decreased Union territory as reflected by this map circa [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 308]].]]<br />
Detractors cited Seele's lack of tact as a key obstacle in negotiations and claimed he belittled the other heads of state throughout the lengthy and arduous diplomatic process, however, leaders such as [[Dorn Zeke]] of the newly accepted and small government of the Aurodium Legion, had their diplomatic status revoked by the Empire for consistent attacks on Seele and the Empire. Despite Seele's voluntary removal from the charter discussions after only a month, several delegates of the Imperial Union signatories continued to cite Seele's abrasiveness from months earlier as reasons to refuse support for the key planks of the new charter. <br />
<br />
Faced with absolute refusal of key IU members to discuss the charter without what the Empire considered to be absurd arguments, [[Emperor]] [[Guinar Ndengin]] ordered the Empire to direct all contact and dealings with the IU through either The Throne, or the Vizier for Diplomacy. In unison with this, the Empire's delegation to the Imperial Union withdrew from the negotiation table and all IU functions. Lord [[Typhon Corbin]], ruler of the [[Tion Hegemony]] raised the idea of drafting a new charter with the detractors of the proposed charter, so that it would address all of their concerns, and then present this charter to the Empire. Emperor Ndengin agreed that the Empire would take no further action and make no further comments on the proposed charter for a period of two months to allow others to develop a counter-proposal. <br />
<br />
Despite Corbin's eagerness to write a counter-proposal, he gained little support for other IU members and ultimately was unable to produce a counter-proposal that might have held the IU together. With negotiations stalled and the counter-proposal dead in the water, it was agreed by IU leaders that the [[Hapes Consortium]], [[Trade Federation]], [[Mandalore]], [[Aurodium Legion]], and [[Tion Hegemony]] would all leave the Union. This would leave the Empire as remaining member to implement their proposed charter and seek out new members to rebuild the Imperial Union. This was announced on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 300]].<br />
<br />
===Reformation===<br />
[[Image:Imperial Union Reformed.jpg|200px|thumb|On [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], the Imperial Union was reformed. Initial signatories included the [[Galactic Empire]], [[Black Sun]], and the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]].<ref name="Reformation"/>]]<br />
On [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], representatives of the [[Galactic Empire]], [[Black Sun]], and [[Tresario Star Kingdom]] convened on Coruscant and signed a new charter to reform the Imperial Union. The announcement came mere weeks after the departure of five member states from the earlier incarnation of the Union. The new charter was designed for more exacting regulations and expectations among member governments, clearly codified operating procedures, and an unambiguous program for sharing technology. This rework addressed deficiencies of the old Union that formed the core of intense debate among previous Union members. According to Imperial Vizier for Diplomacy [[Jarek Sankin]], the new Union charter was designed to address the realities of galactic politics.<ref name="Reformation"/><br />
<br />
The leaders of the new member states expressed their pleasure at their admission into the reformed Union. Premier [[Steve Sphinx]] of the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]] believed the new charter augured a new era of cordial relations between its signatories, "We may have had our differences in the past, however, through open discussion with both of the other governments involved, we have left our disagreements behind us in order to help the IU move forward." Dark Prince [[Banquo Knox]] of [[Black Sun]] noted that it might seem strange that his government was joining the Imperial Union. Nevertheless, he assured viewers that the goals of Black Sun were very much the same in establishing a free and prosperous galaxy. At the time, Black Sun had been the target of propaganda by the [[New Republic]] that vilified the organization. Prince Knox commented that Black Sun's methods were in line with galactic norms, and despite claims to the contrary, that Black Sun is a legitimate government with the welfare of its citizens foremost among its concerns.<ref name="Reformation"/><br />
<br />
On [[Year 14]] Day 184, the Anzatan Commonwealth under Chancellor [[Azarin Isard]], ruling over the Maldrood and Bortele Cluster Sectors, officially joined the Union, entering the [[Second Galactic Civil War]] on the side of the Empire.<ref name="Anzatan Commonwealth Joins IU"> [http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/gnsarchive.php?display=2&postID=34420&category=20 GNS: "The Anzatan Commonwealth joins the Imperial Union" - Year 14 Day 184]</ref> Eventually the Anzatan Commonwealth merged with The Tresario Star Kingdom, its members retaining their status as citizens of the Imperial Union. <br />
<br />
The next addition to the Imperial Union came on [[Year 19]] Day 263, when the Grand Parliament unanimously voted to grant The [[Faerytail Family]] Provisional Membership following a year long diplomatic growth in relations and Faerytail's ample aid of the Galactic Empire in the [[War for the Hosnian System|war for the Hosnian system]].<br />

'''The Imperial Union''' is an official alignment of great powers in the ongoing [[Second Galactic Civil War]] against the [[Galactic Alliance]]. The alignment formally began circa [[Year 7|Year 7 Day 334 - 336]] with a defensive military pact between the [[Galactic Empire]] and the [[Hapes Consortium]], although its origins could be informally traced to a non-aggression pact signed on [[Year 4|Year 4 Day 334]] between [[Greyson Uebles|Emperor Uebles]] and [[Jessy James|King James I]]. <br />
<br />
For much of its life, the Imperial Union consisted of the [[Galactic Empire]],<ref name="Founding Members"/> [[Hapes Consortium]],<ref name="Founding Members"/> [[Mandalore]],<ref name="Mandalore"/> [[Trade Federation]],<ref name="Trade Federation"/> [[Tion Hegemony]],<ref name="Tion Hegemony"/> and [[Aurodium Legion]],<ref name="Aurodium Legion"/> as well as their respective satellites. However, circa [[Year 13]], internal disagreements arose between Union members regarding the further evolution of the alliance. While there was an aversion to disbanding the Imperial Union completely, some governments were unable to agree to either commit to a full alliance within the Imperial Union, or reduce their accumulated powers of veto if they wanted to remain neutral in the Galactic Civil War. Some governments took the stance that they would not agree to sign a new charter without having unlimited access to the Galactic Empire's technology; something the Empire was unwilling to do. Unable to come to a resolution agreeable to all parties, the majority of the Union resigned from the Charter on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 300]], with all parties pledging to pursue bilateral treaties with former signatories.<ref name="Dissolution">[http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/display.php?postID=32305 GNS: "Alia Tendanda Via Est" - Year 13 Day 300]</ref><br />
<br />
Several weeks later, on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], the Imperial Union was reformed with a new improved charter that addressed deficiencies in its previous iteration. The initial signatories were a tripartite bloc that consisted of the [[Galactic Empire]], [[Black Sun]], and the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]].<ref name="Reformation"/><br />
<br />
Year 14 Day 184 saw the [[Anzatan Commonwealth]], headed by Chancellor [[Azarin Isard]] and formerly a neutral power in the [[Second Galactic Civil War|Galactic conflict]], join the war on the Imperial side by officially uniting with the Imperial Union, aptly demonstrating how much Anzatan-Imperial relations had improved since the reign of the von Ismays.<ref name="Anzatan Commonwealth Joins IU"> [http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/gnsarchive.php?display=2&postID=34420&category=20 GNS: "The Anzatan Commonwealth joins the Imperial Union" - Year 14 Day 184]</ref> On Year 19 Day 263 The [[Fairytail Family]] was the next government to join the Imperial Union, under King [[Simkin Dragoneel]], following an extended diplomatic expansion between the government and the Imperial Union and a joint military campaign in the [[http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Hosnian_(System)|Hosnian]] system.<br />

The Imperial Union is structured in three tiers of membership; Executive, Parliamentary, and Provisional. These varying levels of membership provide flexibility for its members, and allows a choice as to the level of commitment that each member will invest within The Union, to be determined through their own means of internal governance. All members of the Imperial Union make up what is known as the Union Council and is the body that governs the Imperial Union, and is mandated with determining the collective actions of The Union, voting on matters brought before it and within the scope of the Council’s authority, and directing the priorities and focus of any committees.<br />
<br />
The Union Council is composed of two sub-groups; the first being the Grand Parliament where the majority of the undertakings of the Imperial Union are determined, and using a voting system. The Grand Parliament consists of one representative from each Member of the Imperial Union, with each member designating one Representative to serve on the Grand Parliament, using whatever selection procedures they see fit. The second group being the Executive Council, a grouping of large and influential governments that have formed an alliance within the IU Charter, and oversee the ongoing activities of the Imperial Union. The Grand Parliament and the Executive Council are chaired by the Head of Parliament, and the Speaker of the Union Council respectively.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Grand Parliament, the Imperial Union maintains several committees for the purposes of providing specialized attention, expertise, and discussion on specific areas of interest. The Grand Parliament may create and disband committees as they see fit, however there are three standing committees that may not be abolished; these are The Economic Committee, The Defence Committee, and the Intelligence Committee.<br />
<br />
The Union was previously directed by the Leaders' Council. This council was composed of the heads of each Union government and a chairman, elected by those heads of government. The Leaders' Council formulated and directed all major pan-Union policy, including the admission of new members, united declarations of war, and the formulation of joint projects. Certain members of the Leaders' Council were granted a veto power, to which they could use without override, and contrary to the will of the majority of the Union.

Emperor Ndengin agreed that the Empire would take no further action and make no further comments on the proposed charter for a period of two months to allow others to develop a counter-proposal. <br />
<br />
Despite Corbin's eagerness to write a counter-proposal, he gained little support for other IU members and ultimately was unable to produce a counter-proposal that might have held the IU together. With negotiations stalled and the counter-proposal dead in the water, it was agreed by IU leaders that the [[Hapes Consortium]], [[Trade Federation]], [[Mandalore]], [[Aurodium Legion]], and [[Tion Hegemony]] would all leave the Union. This would leave the Empire as remaining member to implement their proposed charter and seek out new members to rebuild the Imperial Union. This was announced on [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 300]].<br />
<br />
===Reformation===<br />
[[Image:Imperial Union Reformed.jpg|200px|thumb|On [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], the Imperial Union was reformed. Initial signatories included the [[Galactic Empire]], [[Black Sun]], and the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]].<ref name="Reformation"/>]]<br />
On [[Year 13|Year 13 Day 326]], representatives of the [[Galactic Empire]], [[Black Sun]], and [[Tresario Star Kingdom]] convened on Coruscant and signed a new charter to reform the Imperial Union. The announcement came mere weeks after the departure of five member states from the earlier incarnation of the Union. The new charter was designed for more exacting regulations and expectations among member governments, clearly codified operating procedures, and an unambiguous program for sharing technology. This rework addressed deficiencies of the old Union that formed the core of intense debate among previous Union members. According to Imperial Vizier for Diplomacy [[Jarek Sankin]], the new Union charter was designed to address the realities of galactic politics.<ref name="Reformation"/><br />
<br />
The leaders of the new member states expressed their pleasure at their admission into the reformed Union. Premier [[Steve Sphinx]] of the [[Tresario Star Kingdom]] believed the new charter augured a new era of cordial relations between its signatories, "We may have had our differences in the past, however, through open discussion with both of the other governments involved, we have left our disagreements behind us in order to help the IU move forward." Dark Prince [[Banquo Knox]] of [[Black Sun]] noted that it might seem strange that his government was joining the Imperial Union. Nevertheless, he assured viewers that the goals of Black Sun were very much the same in establishing a free and prosperous galaxy. At the time, Black Sun had been the target of propaganda by the [[New Republic]] that vilified the organization. Prince Knox commented that Black Sun's methods were in line with galactic norms, and despite claims to the contrary, that Black Sun is a legitimate government with the welfare of its citizens foremost among its concerns.<ref name="Reformation"/><br />
<br />
On [[Year 14]] Day 184, the Anzatan Commonwealth under Chancellor [[Azarin Isard]], ruling over the Maldrood and Bortele Cluster Sectors, officially joined the Union, entering the [[Second Galactic Civil War]] on the side of the Empire.<ref name="Anzatan Commonwealth Joins IU"> [http://www.swcombine.com/community/news/gnsarchive.php?display=2&postID=34420&category=20 GNS: "The Anzatan Commonwealth joins the Imperial Union" - Year 14 Day 184]</ref> Eventually the Anzatan Commonwealth merged with The Tresario Star Kingdom, its members retaining their status as citizens of the Imperial Union. <br />
<br />
The next addition to the Imperial Union came on [[Year 19]] Day 263, when the Grand Parliament unanimously voted to grant The [[Fairytail Family]] Provisional Membership following a year long diplomatic growth in relations and Faerytail's ample aid of the Galactic Empire in the [[War for the Hosnian System|war for the Hosnian system]].<br />

<br />
Mishka is of Falleen descent, however her exact clan is unknown; records of her mother and father remain undiscovered. Upon reaching 6 years of age, Mishka was put to work in the mines. Due to her waifish body and frame, she was the water and food bearer for the other workers. Whether it was due to laziness or the lustfulness of the mine’s keepers she retained the role until she reached the age of 22. Eventually a slave rebellion would occur within the encampment; this role was pivotal in aiding the rebellion, as it provided her access to the radio equipment, allowing her to seek aid from outside sources.<br />
