"The Vicar is the voice of Shalharra. But she is no more...
A Knight I will be for my lady. And without my lady, I can not serve
Power hath descended forth from Her hand, and that power I still command
That my feet may swiftly carry out Her command. Her command?...my command.
So I shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be."
Name: Judas Trismagus
Species: Alsakan
Faction: Remnants of the Knights of Shalharra ; Alsakan Restoration Movement
Rank: Former Knight
Age: 40
Height: 6ft 4in
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green
Skin: Pale white
Force Sensitive: Yes. (Gives credit to his godess not the force)
Appearance: His body holds many scars. Some self inflicted others gained through combat. He feels his scars are a tribute to his goddess, as she gave of herself to create her children so shall he give back to her. He wears Armor which he generally keeps with him at all times that is inscribed with blessings and prayers of strength courage and protection in the Alsakan language.
With him he carries often a book bound in thick leather and metal, the outside of which contains various holy symbols sacred to the Jintu. Inside this book are the names of those he has executed for heresy, treason, and also the laws and code of the church all written painstakingly in hand by a calligraphic pen.
Force Powers: Force Shield, speed, heal, push and pull. Also capable at times also of setting fire to things with his mind which he claims is a holy purging. All are attributed to his Goddess.
Weapon: A Holy sword of Shalharra (aka force forged) The sword itself was forged through a long process of blessings and prayers along with many dedications to each aspect of the blade, hand guard, hilt and pommel. The entire process takes nearly 6 months but gives the wielder a blade of unbreakable holy power. (just basically a force imbued sword although brought about by different means than the jedi)
History: Inducted into the order as a child I was raised devoutly. My Goddess is my life, and my life is given and kept safe by my goddess. I have lived and will die upholding her pure ways. At a young age I discovered gifts given to me by my Lady. She has indeed blessed me, and these blessings have been a forwarding point in my life, a true blessing and pathway for my calling. I am a knight of Shalharra.
My story is one of struggle, of learning that pain can be just as holy as love. I was isolated as a child once my gifts were discovered amongst the knights. I had to learn to control them, I had to allow my Lady to give me the insight and show me how to best use these talents lest they be ripped away. Many long days of fasting and prayer, devotion to the holy scriptures. These things have lead to my mastery of them, praise be to my lady for showing me the way.
I have over the course of my life destroyed many who would subvert the true path of my Lady. Heretics, non-believers. They can not be tolerated. I have fought off those who have sought to do away with her buildings and monuments. Protected that which we hold dear. We, the knights of Shalharra are the carriers of her will. We act in accordance with that which is most holy, the Vicar guides us through. Praise be brothers and sisters under her guidance. Praise be.

...Present day....
We hide more readily now...a shame. I miss our old ways. Our old times...but new times call for change. Our lady has not forsaken us. Merely purged us of those who were weak. Corrupt. Unfaithful to our truths in their hearts...it had to be done so that we can truly prosper. I live as a testament to this. I was off world on a crusade against the heretics when the unfaithful lead their purge, as were many with me.
We came back horrified to see our beloved Alsakan in ruins...still though, as a fire moves through the land, consuming all, it is still part of Shalharra's will. And from those ashes the strongest animals and plants survive. New growth occurs and the forest triples in size. So to shall our people be, like a forest purged by righteous fire of our Lady's Wrath. Quietly we have built our forces back up with true believers. Slowly we have gone against those who would subvert our Old Ways. Now however the time to strike is swiftly approaching brothers and sisters. Be ever vigilant and always in prayer and steadfast faith we will prevail.
Praise be to Shalharra....
