Bio: Born 15 A.B.Y. on one of the large industrial cities on Bespin. J'yph Asmodeus was taken to the Jedi at 4 years of age to begin his training. His mind often plagued by doubt, Asmodeus tended to second guess his thoughts whilst trying to follow the Jedi Code. Drawing on the Dark Side in times of need, he found a power that would allow Asmodeus to pursue what he knew to be right. However, knowing the Jedi would never allow him to use this power, Asmodeus fled the Order.
Drawn to the Sith world of Ziost whilst completing a mission as a Jedi Knight, Asmodeus had uncovered records of a mysterious woman. Lured to an unnamed world, Asmodeus encountered the woman who revealed herself to be Eriaté Sulla. Initially unaware of her treason, Asmodeus allowed himself to be renamed Darth Acrimonus, and studied under Sulla.
Sulla's apparent insanity led Acrimonus to doubt her abilities as a teacher. Eventually, they duelled, and by tapping into a subconcious Force connection Acrimonus was able to defeat Sulla. With no where else to go, he travelled into Sith space, to start again as a loyal member of the Empire.
Over many years Acrimonus worked to gain the respect of his fellow Sith. Trained by Darth Seti, and catching the attention of Supreme Prophet Shadow and former-Commander Minious, Acrimonus found himself in a unique position within the Empire. His personality often makes him seem a little odd to his fellow Sith.
During in his time in the Empire Acrimonus made numerous attempts to train Sith Apprentices. While his shared teaching of Celisia Auller - who took the name Darth Equivicus upon being Knighted - was successful, the two pupils he took alone failed to reach Knighhood. Acrimonus' relationship with Equivicus was initially awkward, with both sharing strong feelings for the other. Once the formality of the Master-Apprentice relationship was lifted they pursued a romantic relationship, eventually marrying. They have one daughter - Rheya.
As war took it toll on the Empire many able Sith were called to service. Acrimonus was recruited as a Naval officer, and ascended the ranks rapidly. He served for a time as Grand Admiral, and then became Supreme Commander of the Sith Military in Darth Minious' absence. He served as Commander for many years, during which time he also ascended to the rank of Dark Lord. Although now retired from military service, he still possesses the rank of Dark Lord and the wisdom gained from his lifetimes experiences.
