Name: Karys iv Adas (sithese for 'Warrior Of Adas')
Species: Massassi
Gender: Male
Age: 47 (precise age is unknown, he is young for a massassi who naturally can live to be 1,000 years if not longer)
Height: 6'2 inches
Weight: 210lb
Home World: Lwhekk, Ssi- Ruuk Star Cluster (Unknown to him)
Appearance: Heavily Scarred. The massassi once had blue eyes before his sight was taken from him, a gift from his former master during a training session forcing the sith marauder to see via the force and done a black/grey sash around his eyes. Lucifer is muscle bound as much of the males of his species are forced from a early age to fight and continue to fight all the way into adulthood. Lucifer is human looking in origin aside from the chin tusks that mark him as a massassi and the obvious red skin.
Personality: Fiercely Loyal and patriotic, Darth Lucifer lives for war and for his people. Seeing power as a tool just as the force the massassi is very influential. Mindful, Calm and Collected the sith marauder is not to be trifled with...he is a devout believer of the Emperor's vision and will guard him with his life. The massassi follows a unique honor code and will never break an oath. To accomplish the goals of his people, the Dark Council and the Emperor, he is willing to use whatever means necessary, be it advancing new reforms or entwicing the council to war against the republic to crush the jedi.
While not xenophobic in the traditional sense, Lucifer does look down on ewoks and wookies and believes that all near human species (to include kissai and massassi) must rule the Galaxy as a dominant race for the greater benefit of the empire. But even sith are not secure from Lucifer's gaze..if they prove themselves unworthy in his eyes they will soon find the reason why he is called the Lord Of War. Darth Lucifer's respect is hard to win reserved only for the most ruthless and cunning of his enemies., whom he would accept as his equals until he beats them on the battlefield at which point he will change his view of them and see them as a inferior. He holds considerable contempt for the Jedi and the Republic as a whole, and will often try and persuade the council to strike a blow against them.
When communicating with others, Darth Lucifer will more often than not...not speak openly but resort to sending telepathic messages seeing it as a superior form of communication as the enemy cannot listen in. Never accepting missions or tasks, or conducting actions or words he would consider to be dishonourable the massassi is highly intelligent. He is fearless in battle...trained by Darth Malgus himself before he disappeared, anyone unlucky enough to face him in battle will quickly find it was the worse decision they ever made.
Special Skills: Darth Lucifer's most potent skill – apart from his undeniably strong connection to the Force and the Dark Side – is his ability to inspire troops and spread fear through the enemy ranks by simply his presence alone, brings alot of people to his cause. Loyal and determined, he is known as a fierce fighter who never gives up.
Lucifer is well familiarized with the art of war and is competent in every aspect of it. Tactical in nature the massassi often confuses his enemies and clusters them together for maximum damage. Many in the Sith Empire respect him for such skill as do those in the sith military ranks. He is a experienced duelist who often uses two sabres as oppposed to one and is said to be the next Tulak Hord in whispers. Lucifer prefers to wield Vaapad & Jar'Kai and by way of combining the two forms he has become a potent threat.
Lucifer fluently speaks Galactic Basic & Ancient Sithese the language of his ancestors and can understand Mandoa owing to serving at one time with a mandalorian commander. This and his previous education in battlefield tactics, makes Darth Lucifer one of the most fear inspiring sights to behold and able to conduct most missions with little resistance.

Background:
Karys iv Adas, the man who would one day grow to be become one of the most feared warriors the galaxy had the pleasure of knowing under the name of Darth Lucifer, was born on a clear, sunny and unconspicious afternoon on the remote planet of Lwhekk in the Ssi-Ruuk Star Cluster as part of a lost tribe of massassi. His father, a descendant of Adas and leader of the tribe, was overjoyed at this occurance for he had tried many times to produce a suitable heir to the Adas legacy only to be met by miscarriage after miscarriage. As a result, he induldged his son with exotic and rare gifts on occasion but never to the extent that he became spoilt.
A the age 0f 7 Karys was taken from the family home to begin the sacred massassi tradition of the males joining the warrior caste entailing him to a life of brutal and unforgiving treatment in a spartan like regime of training in preparation for his future role as leader of the clan and from there to be thrust into the sith army. For the next 18 years, Karys life consisted of brutal training in hand to hand combat, the art of deception, stragedy and all manner of tactics of war even going so far as being actively forced and indeed encouraged to steal from purposely set up stalls from which he could steal and pickpocket...less he starve, to be caught was to be be tied to a wooden pole and brutally lashed across the back by bamboo rod until his flesh tore asunder. Other activites included the tradition of hunting with his clan brothers so all of the clan could eat. He often took detours to sacred relics ignoring clan rules earning yet more beatings despite what his father and his tutors tried to instill in him. At first he met much resistance to his actions from his father and tutors but in time, they began to understand the insatiable curiosity within his soul for knowledge and of knowing the world beyond the tribe. In combat many times did Karys display a viciousness and power unsurpassed by the other men with whom he shared his training...in duals it was said that he was soulless for he showed no mercy to those he fought.
On his 18th year Karys learnt of his dormant force sensitivity when he ventured out into the wild to complete his final test...his trial of manhood among the tribe and secure his place as successor to his father. It was while out in the wild that he learnt of his ancestry by stumbling across a ancient monument built for the former Dark Lord Adas, it was his force ghost inside the monument that told of how Karys was descended from him and it was he who prophesized that one day he would become a power unmatched and feared by all. Shortly after this Karys suffered a vision of his tribe burning and of a ship close to the vicinity, dismissing it as nothing he continued the trial completing it only to return to his tribe in flames and brutally murdered and his parents dead with what looked like burn marks across their torso, his vision had come true it was then he realised he had viewed the future in his mind but how was a mystery to him and thus he looked around for an answer to spot a unguarded ship just as his vision had entailed.
Stealing the ship Karys departed for the depths of space and the great unknown, finding that he had a natural talent for piloting the massassi plotted a course to the closest active star system before making his way to what he heard was the galaxies capital Coruscant. For the next four years Karys earnt his keep doing various delivery and underworld jobs for local crime syndicates acting as somewhat a freelance enforcer of sorts before a disagreement regarding pay ensued and they departed ways but not before Karys set about making an example of them via stealing a sizeable portion of wealth...dirty money that was being transported from one location to another and butchering the Crime Lord himself. Using this wealth Karys invested in acquiring a majority share in the Zaltin Corporation based on Thyferra thus becoming a large shareholder in the company in exchange for monetary compensation and a large hand in the bacta production and other assorted products, before long Karys had his hands in everything from legal to illecit means and as a result his wealth grew it was at this point that Karys first met the Korriban clans for the first time having accidently stumbled across Korriban and thus made quite the name there via dualing one of the elders and besting him to earn the right to become part of the clan.
At the outbreak of the cold war just after the Treaty Of Coruscant was signed a messenger came to Karys having heard word of his expertise in combat who urged him to join the fighting and take up a well paid position in a black ops group working as a mercenary that was founded by the senate in secret to combat the threat that was the Sith Empire tasked with tracking down and locating the leadership before silently dispatching them. Karys accepted his lust for war and the thrill of battle having never left him, the fact that he would be getting well paid for what he loved to do only strengthened his choice. After recieving advanced training from a Mandalorian commander who led the unit Karys learnt the language of the man, the mandoa and began speaking it fluently to relay commands without alerting the enemy. After many battles and victories deep inside enemy territory his mandalorian commander was killed and as a result the helm of leadership fell upon him. Later in the war and after many successful campaigns a small contingent of assassins were sent to assassinate Karys in a attempt to end his reign of terror and stop him taking out vital targets within the Sith ranks, a attempt which failed Karys training having overcome them although Karys started to work out that was not all which saved him so many times when he had come so close to death.
With the treaty going strong, and the founding of the newly formed truce between the Republic and Sith Empire the mercenary group became obsolete in the face of the more advanced and easier units coming out at the time and thus was systematically shut down. Secretly each member of the team was eliminated knowing that they knew too much about the plans for an impending invasion, Karys among them however the massassi was a survivor and thus survived this private purge to go into hiding only to be discovered some months later on Roon.
Once the wealthy massassi was discovered it was only a matter of time before he was located planetside. After besting many of the best warrior's of the time the Republic grew desperate and thus sent the jedi master Dar'Nala to deal with the threat personally. Having fought Karys lost his first battle in his life and was humbled by the experience, he had never faced a force so powerful or seen such mastery of something he could not see not knowing it was the force that he controlled, Karys blindly refused to join her as she attempted to convert him to a jedi thinking it to be some type of witchcraft or magic.
This refusal did not go unchallenged...a vicious dual ensued once Karys goal became clear...to kill her, a dual which she won leaving Karys for dead she headed back to Coruscant to inform the jedi council of her tasks completion. A few days later a hermit of sorts located the badly wounded Karys taking him to his hut he fixed the massassi up as best he could. As the massassi healed he began to train vigourously in order that he may best Dar'Nala the next time if he were to meet again, his efforts were noticed by the hermit a notable master of the martial art Teras Kasi secretive and the secretive martial art K'thri who saw a great potential in the massassi and so offered to train him in the arts a offer which Karys accepted never one to dismiss a chance at improving his prowess in battle. 5 long years passed and the now older and wiser Karys left the hermit vowing never to forget him or his teachings as he departed for the stars with a newfound guidance...a bushido code of sorts of which he would forever live by.
Years later Karys returned to Korriban and to the city of Dromund Kaas where he found out that he had a brother also descended from Adas but who's location was unknown. He remained there, in a prominent position among the massassi clans in politics and upon the war council often taking time out of his hectic schedule to train the young massassi warriors there much to his counsin Kareval's amusement....the two would become bitter rivals for Kareval resented Karys jealous and envious of his position and what he had achieved in life this hatred remainedfor as long as Karys remained throughout the years on Korriban. Karys was still upon Korriban when a mysterious man entered, a sith lord by the name of Darth Malgus who claimed to be a representative of the Sith Emperor and Dark Council who had been rulers of the great city centuries before, having no way to dispute the claim Karys let Malgus rule as was dictated by law.
This was the beginning of a chain of events that were to change Karys destiny forever and begin the end stages of what was prophesized many years before by the ghost of Adas albeit Karys hadn't known at the time it was him...it having been when he was but 18 years old and unknown of the sith. Darth Malgus informed Karys of his force sensitivity a surprise to him at first but slowly grew on him as he discovered it was the force which had saved him so many times from deaths door. Malgus at that moment recruited Karys into the Sith Empire where he subsequantely learnt abilities during his training which made him as a god almost to his people and Karys himself found he had a natural aptidude for war and thus took up the path of the fabled sith marauder. Shortly after passing his mastership trials the now named Darth Lucifer was approached to train the new breed of apprentices that would become the army of the sith a position which he accepted having found a new life and meaning among his newfound friends and allies...using his insumountable wealth the marauder began to finance the Sith Empire in the cold war somewhat aiding in it's slow rise while also awarding vast amounts of credits to anyone with information as to his brother's whereabouts. Somehow Lucifer knew that his brother was crucial to ensure that the foundations were laid for his path to becoming the Sith'ari of his people having now realised that Adas so long ago had prophesized he would become...as his descendant it was his fate to continue what he started centuries before and lead the sith army to victory over the jedi.
