Buckley Manor, Kuat (Official Residence of the High Mage) 
Ootman Palace, Tatooine (Moff Palace) 
Uphill House, Tatooine (Official Residence of the Director of the Krayt Graveyard Research and Development Facility) 
Equipment: A comlink and a datapad. Appearance: Serratus is a tall, proud figure with an aura of authority and confidence about him. He wears his black hair in dreadlocks with gold ringlets at the bottom of each. He has a slender yet muscular physique and a face from which one can almost read the traumas of his past. Clothing: 
Serratus dresses in a long robe of dramassian silk lined at the edge and insides with nanosilk and embroidered with thread made from the the tendons of a krayt dragon, painted with molten gold. Underneath this he wears a died Norris robe, cut short into a tunic, lined with more gold-painted krayt dragon tendon and belted with a dyed rancor leather belt adorned with an Ubese clan belt-clasp. Beneath the tunic lies a septsilk shirt, tucked into zeyd-cloth trousers, lined on the inside with lashaa silk. Finally, on his feet he has a pair of rancor-leather boots and socks made from the skin of an unborn rancor calf. Personality: Serratus is cool, calm and collected and speaks with an air of confidence. Despite his youth, circumstances have aged him and he has become extraordinarily wise in an extraordinarily short time. Overall, Serratus is a very reasonable individual, quick to make friends and reluctant to make enemies. He is ambitious, though not megalomanic and confident, though not arrogant. It would be easy to describe him as a moderate being if not for his occasional bursts of raw fury. Force Skills: Serratus is strong in the Force, the son of a Sith and trained by one of the most powerful Force-users in the Empire. He is skilled in the use of Force push, grip, choke, drain and lightning, and is a master of the rare ability to manipulate air. He can also augment weapons or his own body with the Force, amplifying their attributes. Another one of his notable skills is the control of animals with the Force, from a miniscule droch to a mighty drexl. He is also a proficient user of battle meditation. Other Skills: Serratus is a widely acknowledged master of weaponry and combat. What he lacks in raw Force power, he makes up for in strategy, precision and sheer physical prowess. As well as being skilled in the use of a wide range of weapons, he is also a master of unarmed combat from his youth on Hoth, which at time required him to wrestle full-grown Wampa. Years of hunting tauntauns on the ice planet have given him excellent stamina and athleticism and he has a natural affinity for animals, being able to tame tauntauns, even without the Force. Serratus has a degree of skill in piloting and aerial and space combat but is more of a fighter than a commander. Serratus is also a skilled, if unusual, cook, mainly because most of his recipes are for meals most people would never dream, or nightmare, of.

Background: Serratus was born Nathaniel Dooku, son of Nathaniel Tagge, better known as Darth Grim, and Cadia Dooku Morrigan, wife of Senator-turned-bounty hunter Draco Filius Morrigan. He was born just after a skirmish between his mother and step-father and a group of Wampa-poachers. A child of rape and the son of a Sith, his mother had been about to kill Nathaniel when the infant used the Force to stop her by making her blaster misfire and kill her instead. He was raised for many years in a subterranean cave on Hoth by a Wampa called Wamom in the obscure Wampa language. Respected and trusted due to his hunting skills, Nathaniel, now known as Wamomeru, became the leader of his and Wamom's Wampa tribe in his early teens. His affiliation with the tribe would end soon after however. During an attack on the cave by Wampa poachers, Wamomeru unleashed his latent Force sensitivity by brutally murdering the poachers with the Force. Both scared and intruiged by this strange ability, he decided to leave Hoth, something he had feared doing for years. He journeyed for days to the abandoned Echo Base and was able to find a working ship within. The old Jedi Starfighter, the Space Dragon, was to become the young human's signature ship in the coming years. Wamomeru eventually arrived on Coruscant where he took the name Glathn Long. After adapting to civilised life, he became a bounty hunter and personal enforcer of Borba the Hutt. He garnered a reputation as a fierce combatant and often used the Force against his quarries, something most were not accustomed to and thus did not have any defense against. During one hunt, he slew his informal godfather, Claudio Fisto, last living descendant of legengdary Jedi Knight Kit Fisto. He lived a comfortable, enjoyable life until he was sent to hunt an old foe of Borba's, Jedi Master Morghan Saab. After a fierce duel, Glathn was finally subdued by the Knight using the Force. Glathn asked Morghan to take him as a Padawan and train him in the Jedi ways. Morghan agreed after some consideration and began training Glathn as a Jedi. Glathn became a Jedi Knight in just three short years under Morghan's tutelage and became known as the Dragon Knight after his ferocity and personalised fighting style Gor Dan, which he developed based on the combat prowess of draconic creatures from around the galaxy. He and Morghan became a thorn in the Empire's side until the Dragon started to exert its influence on Glathn. The Dragon called itself a part of Glathn and gave no more explanation than that. It told him his destiny lay in the dark side and started chipping away at his good heart, slowly corrupting him into a vassal of the dark side of the Force. Eventually, Glathn was corrupted completely and killed Morghan, fleeing Coruscant and leaving a trail of destruction in his path. He eventually crash-landed on Tatooine, in the Krayt Graveyard. He lived here in exile for a year before he was able to repair the Space Dragon and make the journey to Kuat, where he became a servant of the Sith Order. Glathn was taken by High Prophet Aequitas as his apprentice and was trained in the ways of the Sith. After an intense seven years of training and more than a few injuries, he was knighted by Lord Prognie and became Darth Serratus. Some time after this, Serratus decided to return to Coruscant and reclaim some old posessions. While there, in a plan orchestrated by former rival bounty hunter and Dark Jedi, Tanya Secura, Serratus was ambushed by a group of arsonists. They sealed him inside the suit of alchemically forged Jensaarai armour he was wearing at the time using flamethrowers. Serratus killed them all and took his revenge on Secura but the damage had been done. In the months after his deformation, Serratus came to know of his noble heritage and was finally rid of the Dragon, which revealed itself to be a remnant of his father's Force signature. With the Dragon gone, Serratus's Force prowess was unhindered by the limitations the Dragon placed on him and he was able to become proficient in the art of battle meditation. Shortly after, he was called to serve as the High Mage of the newly created Order of Sith Mages, under his old master, now Grand Mage Aequitas. During this time, he participated in the Battle of Aeron, and killed in excess of 100 enemy men during the conflict. It was also while on official Mage business that Serratus stumbled upon Darth Malefor and one of the most secretive Sith cults in the galaxy, the Wayland Order. Masters of alchemy, Serratus believed he had finally found a way out of his accursed suit of armour. He made many investigations before he was able to locate the Order's base, in the A'den Jungle on Mandalore. With his friend and ally, Prophet Crozeus, he assaulted the Wayland Order's base of operations, slaying all who populated it, including the Order's second-in-command, Darth Knot. Before his death however, Knot had divulged the location of the Order's leader, Darth Anthrax, and his plan to attack Kuat. Serratus and Crozeus rushed to Venir and with the help of the High Inquisitor, Darth Gra'tua, defeated Anthrax and learned the secret to regaining Serratus's humanity. Through the use of strange and ancient Sith alchemy, Serratus was able to remove the armour and finally regain his human form, albeit with a minor aesthetic change, in hair colour, a la Darth Crozeus. |

Detailed. Very nice, I particularly like the "Gor Dan" idea. One question: How would you improvise Sun Djem into Ataru? Such an aggressive form would be hindered massively by going for disarmements. I would prefer Cho Mai. But of course, it's up to you. | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
Assuming you meant Cho Mai, I see your point. It would probably be a better choice for Glathn's fighting style and indeed his personality. I shall make that change right now. | ||
| High Prophet Crozeus |
Eeek. Typo. | ||
| Darth Ultiria |
How would you have known about the Force if you were raised by Wampas? | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
Did you even read the Profile? Glathn unleashed his Force potential when hunters attacked his Wampa tribe on Hoth, spurring his decision to leave Hoth and learn about the Force, he would later trained with the Jedi, he was a Jedi Knight before he defected, as indicated by his Jedi nickname, the Dragon Knight. | ||

UPDATE | ||
| High Prophet Crozeus |
She meant (these are her words she can't be bothered to log on) I mean, if you were taken in by wampas when you were young, how would they have educated you about what the force is? | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
I learned of the Force initially from my travels across the galaxy, working as Borba the Hutt's chief mercenary and later I was trained as a Jedi, even becoming a Knight before I defected. Prior to that I had no idea what the Force was, the want to know prompted my leaving Hoth. | ||
| High Prophet Crozeus |
Thank you. | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
UPDATE. | ||
| Emperor Shadow |
Tagge isn't a Pure Blood family... | ||
| Lord Aequitas |
I was just about to point that out, thank you Emperor. | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
Oh, I could've sworn...nope, you're right. Small change time. | ||

I would like to ask how you have mastered "Shiak Sai" when it has only just been released by the Military R&D Department? | ||
| Lord Aequitas |
http://thedarksithlords.myfreefor...1112.html&highlight=shiak+sai
Also
Shiak Sai had been published before. |
||
| Supreme Commander Alor |
Yes, it was then moved to the Military's threads.
But even so, that training would not have been at the time Serratus was around. He joined well after the Form was placed into Military custody (Minious was Commander at the time). |
||
| Lord Aequitas |
The form was also well documented in the Church, and I was High Prophet at the time of his training. | ||
| Supreme Commander Alor |
I see. The Form was shared with multiple Orders then.
Thank you, Grand Mage, for clearing up the matter. |
||
| Grand Inquisitor Prognie |
Could the training (seeing as it was being taught prior to it being in the military's hand) not have been trainable by individuals already knowing it? And since when did the military get to control what forms of lightsaber combat that exist in the galaxy? | ||
| Supreme Commander Alor |
It was taught only to Commander Minious by Qel'Vos, and Minious did not mention teaching it to anyone else. But if that is the case, then I would like to know who else knows the form so I can add them to the list of Practitioners and also refine my own mastery of the form by training with them.
We do not, but it is hard to say that one has mastered a Form that doesn't exist. So if the Military develops a Lightsaber form, one cannot master it before he even knows it exists. |
||
| Lord Aequitas |
It was taught to Commander Minious only, to your knowledge.
Qel'Vos was a Dark Warrior of the Church and I'm sure that he taught it to many a Prophet; training which of course is generally not released or known to the public. |
||
| Grand Inquisitor Prognie |
I am confused as to why this is such an issue Marix? It appears to be something that the prophet taught to others, minious was a student. That doesn't mean that the Prophet hadn't left records of the form to the Church. We don't know how the church works, you don't understand how it works, it could very well be a form he came up for the Church. | ||
| Supreme Commander Alor |
I found the post for the form within the Military Archives, therefore I figured it was a Military project created by Qel'Vos. So when I released it earlier today, it was a surprise to find Serratus already a "master" of the form. | ||
| Lord Aequitas |
And the reason for which has been given.
I see no further problem and I think that we should leave discussion at that. The matter has been settled. |
||
| Supreme Commander Alor |
Technically it has not.
Serratus, if you have a mentor in the form, could you please tell me who he was so I may add you both to the list of practitioners. |
||
| High Prophet Crozeus |
I can vouch for that. Prophet Qel'vos' works still exist in the Church Archives, it seems entirely reasonable I would have found it. | ||
| Lord Aequitas |
And during my stay in the Church, I would have studied it.
Although I do not like tell people, I am quite proficient in all lightsaber forms. I myself gave Serratus the pointers and then gave him the information necessary so he could train himself. You will find that he and I are users of this form as is the Dark Warrior, I believe. |
||
| High Prophet Crozeus |
You are quite correct, Lord Aequitas. | ||
| High Mage Serratus |
It is as the Grand Mage said, I was trained in it by him during my apprenticeship and further honed during my internship with the Church. | ||
