I first came to this realm and joined the Guild's ranks over a decade ago, long before the Dark Times that came after the Great Migration of 2014. Seven years ago I left to travel in the Mundane Realm. During my travels, I studied, grew, and honed my skills. I now return to this realm, armed and ready for the challenges that lie ahead!

In the Mundane Realm, I am a teacher, living on a horse farm in the Valley of the Shenandoah River. I am also a scribe of no small skill. I also serve as the Master of Dungeons for several groups of brave adventurers in the Forgotten Realms of Faerûn.

No worries! It looks great! I was just offering Saber Forge as a resource, not a requirement :)
Rex remained motionless as the Sith scanned the room. A couple of times he thought she might've seen him, but he counted on the fact that his black robes and the shadow thrown over his face by his hood obscured him well enough. While the dark colors may have been the cause of people frequently misidentifying him, they also served their purpose in times such as this, when a lighter color might have given away his position.

"I know you are there." the Sith called out. "How long have you been following me?" Rex studied the Sith for a moment. She didn't appear to be looking at his hiding spot, so he was confident she had not seen him. However, she may have sensed his presence through the Force. Even so, he continued to remain still and silent. A minute passed...then another...and another... Finally, the Sith shrugged and turned to leave. Rex waited until she had entered the hallway before sneaking back to the roof access hatch.

From his vantage point on the roof, it was fairly easy to pick her out of the crowd. Her unique armor marked her and made some people steer clear, making the crowd flow around her like a rock in a stream. She seemed to be making her way over to the air taxi station. He made his way over to the edge overlooking the alley and dropped down, using the Force to cushion his fall. He pressed his way through the crowd and managed to reach the air taxi station just in time to see the Sith climb into one of the yellow Czerka-airspeeders and zoom off. Waiting a moment in case the Sith looked back to see if she was being followed, he stepped forward.

The droid attendant greeted him, "Welcome, please indicate an available travel route."

"I need a cab to the Corellian Sector."

* * * *


A few mind-tricked hustlers later, Thaerex found himself sitting against a durasteel wall opposite the entrance to the Chemical Refinement District. The Corellian Sector was known primarily for its casinos and trendy cafés. But, according to his sources, the Exchange ran a large spice refinement operation out of this district on the sector's lower levels. From his position he could monitor the entrance and wait for the Sith to arrive, given that there were still guards on duty, he assumed she hadn't already. What few people passed by likely assumed he was a vagrant or homeless and so he was able to maintain a low profile while he waited.
Sittin here like a BUMP on a log...
And so it was done!
Sithspawn! Rex thought to himself as he climbed out of the air taxi. Even the industrial sector is lit up with those garish neon holo-signs. Peering out over the crowds, he searched for the distinct, coral-looking, helmet his quarry was known for wearing. Failing to spot that, he searched again, this time looking for the blue skin and hair that marked the Chiss species. While he managed to spot several blue-skinned beings in the crowd, there was not a Chiss among them.

"Lose someone?" a voice asked, in heavily accented Basic.

Rex turned to see who had addressed him and found himself face-to-face with a green skinned Rodian.

"You might say that," Rex confirmed. The Rodian looked him up and down.

"You a Sith?"

Rex scowled. He'd made somewhat of a controversial choice when he'd decided to use black cloth and dark-brown synth-leather to craft his Jedi robes, and this had been the result.

"I'm a Jedi," Rex corrected the Rodian, "and I'm looking for this person." He pulled out his holo from beneath his cloak and activated it. The Rodian studied the hologram for a moment and slowly nodded.

"Yeah," he said, "I saw someone like that, just a few moments ago too." The scowl that had come over Rex's face instantly vanished.

"Did you see where they went?"

"Well that depends," replied the Rodian slyly, holding out an empty hand. Rex's scowl returned. He understood, information in this case wasn't supposed to be given for free. He tucked his holo back beneath his cloak, then casually passed a hand in front of the Rodian's face.

"You don't want my money," Rex asserted. The sly expression on the Rodian's face faded away and his hand dropped back down to his side.

"I dont' want your money," the Rodian repeated.

"You want to tell me where they went," Rex continued, passing his hand in front of the Rodian again.

"I want to tell you where they went," the Rodian repeated, raising his hand and pointing over the crowds to an open doorway, flanked by two members of the Hutt Cartel Security Force.

"Thank you," said Rex, turning to go. "Oh," he stopped, "one more thing." He turned back to face the Rodian, and passed his hand in front of his vacant eyes for a third time. "You want to go home and rethink your life."

Glancing innocuously down the hallway from a safe distance, Rex noted that it seemed to dead-end at a sealed blast door. Looking over the building's facade, he guessed it was probably the front of a small warehouse. Reaching out through the Force, he could sense the presence a powerful darkness, probably the Sith he was looking for. The situation felt almost like a trap. Checking to be sure that no one was watching, he made his way over to the side of the building and ducked into the narrow alley that separated it from the adjacent structures. With a series of Force-assisted leaps, he managed to bring himself up onto the roof of the warehouse.

Making his way stealthily over to one of the roof access hatches, he used the Force to open the lock and climbed inside. The warehouse was divided into two levels by a floor of metal grates, suspended above the base level. Various cargo containers were haphazardly stacked about on both levels, but Rex managed to find a path through them towards the sounds of a deep rumbling voice speaking in Huttese. He followed the voice to the front of the warehouse, where the second level ended about twenty meters shy of the front wall. Hiding in the shadows cast by the cargo crates, he saw the Sith conversing with a Hutt.
Nar Shaddaa, also known as the Smuggler's Moon, was like Coruscant in that the entire surface was covered in a sprawling metropolis, but that's about where the similarities ended. Controlled by the Hutts, the moon was filthy, polluted, and infested with crime. Things illegal on most worlds were bought and sold on Nar Shaddaa and as a result it was a haven for smugglers, pirates, and criminals.

Thaerex stepped out of the hangar where he'd landed the Sentinel and began to make his way through the spaceport. With his cowl pulled up over his head, he wove his way through the crowd and headed over to the air taxi station.

"Vehicle pads are currently open for business." The taxi droid greeted him in digitally synthesized Basic.

"I need to get to the Industrial Sector," said Thaerex.

As soon as the words had left Thaerex's mouth, the taxi droid's photo-receptors began to pulse quickly, moments later a bright-yellow airspeeder pulled up to the vehicle pad. Thaerex recognized it as a Commuter model speeder, produced by the Czerka Corporation. The speeder's aggressive lines gave it a sporty look, but the vehicle was inexpensive enough that it had become a standard model for air taxis on several worlds. Thaerex climbed into the two-seater cockpit and put his hands on the controls. With a touch, the airspeeder rocketed away from the spaceport.

Thaerex had been tracking down this Sith for a while now. Even after months of investigation, he still knew very little. She was a Chiss and she'd played a significant part in the Alderaan Civil War. While neither the Republic nor the Empire officially had any troops on the ground, the involvement of both governments was present in the backing of rival houses. The Republic had supported House Organa, while the Empire had backed House Thul. But during the conflict, the Empire gained control of a Republic superweapon, the Death Mark. From what Thaerex had been able to gather, this Sith had been a member of the Imperial Strike Force that had attacked the Death Mark weapon facility on Alderaan, a direct violation of the Treaty of Coruscant.

Biography:

Thaerex Azalaera was born in Aldera, the capital city of the planet Alderaan, four years before the Sith Empire invaded. However, Thaerex was already long gone before the Sith arrived. Taken in at birth by the Jedi Order, Thaerex grew up on the planet Coruscant, in the halls of the Jedi Temple.

When he was ready, Thaerex was taken with the other younglings of his clan to Ilum to participate in the Gathering, the right of passage in which Jedi construct their lightsaber. In the Crystal Caves, he became lost. Wandering in the dark, Thaerex was made to face himself, his shortcomings, his doubts, personified in the form of a dark warrior who hunted and taunted him through the night. Finally, exhausted, after a sleepless night in the frozen caves, he resolved to face his foe in spite of his fear. And in that moment, a kyber crystal revealed itself to him, a violet light in the shadows.

Hastily knighted after the Sacking of Coruscant and one of the few Jedi to have survived the assault, Thaerex almost immediately found himself embroiled in the Galactic Cold War that followed the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant.
