BACKGROUND
Achlys and his twin Ophion where born to the noble family of Moirai on the planet of Nihir a devout family they were taught from a young age the histories and legends that defined the Church of Mortis. The family was strong and powerful though not one of the elite, they had served the church well over the past centuries. Achlys great grand father had died fighting the Blackguard and many more of the Moirai had died before fighting before him.
Two years later a young brother Iapetus was born, he was a sickly child and Achlys's parents spent many a night in lock church praying for him to make it through and one day grow strong. He would make it through and though not as physically strong as his brothers but was as quick and smart as any on the planet.
At the age of eight both Ophion and Achlys were both taken as squires to prominent knights in the order. There training was tough and pushed them to the limits but over time they both passed their trials. During their training the two slowly drifted apart, Achlys began to question his faith and his training, what the Church and those above him taught did not make sense to him. They seemed to blindly follow this faith above all sense and thought. He was also surrounded by those who preached but did not practice something which left him a bitter taste in his mouth. His Knight was a worthless thing in his eyes, he was good with a sword but spent more time filled with drink and under whores than truly practicing his blade. Achlys a natural with the blade quickly mastered and surpassed the Knight but was he was two blond drunk to see.
One day whilst Achlys was demanding that a serf move out of his way his brother Ophion interfered and they soon came to blows. The fight drew a crowd but no one wanted to stop it and as the story of their sibling rivalry began to spread across the crowd all that happened was bets where made. Finally Iapetus interrupted the fight and got both to stand down, but Ophion still wanted to fight and goaded Achlys over and over until he lashed out striking at Ophion but Iapetus pushed him out of the way taking the fatal blow.
Achyls was devastated but before he could do anything he was pulled away and locked into a cage. As his brother was laid to rest the two where brought before the Grand Master, his decision infuriating only forcing Ophion to spend a further two years as a squire but he instead banished from Nirhir and the Paladin order.
Achyls wondered the Unknown regions for two years, fighting was the only thing he knew and the only thing he done, fighting for hire and in the pits of the Unknown regions for cash. It was here that he met the leader of the Blackguard Khagan Nor, he appeared as just a run of the mill fight trainer who offered to train Achyls after he soundly beat him in a practice fight. Over the coming weeks Khagan probed into Achyls thoughts on both the force and the Paladin order, finding that the two's opinion matched he knew he had a new apprentice and Achyls a new master. After his win in the fighting pit, Khagan revealed himself to Achyls and offered him a place in the Blackguard.
Shortly the Ninth War of Paladin Aggression began and Achyls was forced into the front lines. His strength in the force and time in the fighting pits allowed him to shine in battle. Whilst outside of the battle field his knowledge of Paladin space and defense allowed the Blackguard to push back against the Paladin Order. Finally they were able to strike out at the home world of the Order Nihir and Achyls was given the chance to help lead the assault.
Upon the planet Achyls was not able to find his brother and avenge him for Iapetus's death instead he had to settle for his father who had helped banish him. It was easy the man was getting old and he was arrogant of his abilites. After his dad he helped lead the final charge and watched as the Grand Master and Patriarch was slain, but as the Blackguard who killed them fell Khagan called the retreat. Achlys led the few remaining members back to the Blackguard bastion, where Khagan revealed his new plan and new vision for the Blackguard, they would be smaller and work in the shadows. But they needed a sword a point to lead the charge, he gave Achyls an ancient light-saber and the new title of 'Black Knight.'
PERSONALITY
He feels deep regret for death of Iapetus and blames his older brother for the death. He sometimes falls into melancholy when he thinks about Iapetus or his old life in the Order.
His sense of humor is often called dark or black humor by those around him. Achyls relishes power and the title of Black Knight and the power it brings has only brought him happiness though some worry about what he will do with that power as he can be quick to anger and dangerous when he is.

During his time in the outer rim, Achyls learned to pilot a ship as it was his only way of getting about. Even though not naturally gifted, with the power of the force behind him he is a capable pilot and able to engage in dog-fights with other non-force sensitive pilots.
His ability with the force is dedicated to the followings of the Son and from that the dark side of the force. He is proficient in mental manipulation including entering ones subconscious and taping into their fears and doubts projecting them into their minds eye to break their will, or force their brain to believe they are in extreme pain as a way of torture. He is also able to make some weak willed individuals see things to dis-coordinate them or imbue fear. Unlike many dark side users he does not use force lightning, preffering to use the force to increase his combat abilities or to enter anothers mind.
Like his brother and father before him Achyls does not care much for blaster technology and is not very proficient with any size of blaster.
