The only child of the infamous Sith Lord "Darth Mendicant - the Beggar Lord", formerly known as Darth Caesitas, Quellorin Inaryion, or "Kel(l)" as he is more used to being known, has seenthe highs and lows, pitfalls and epochs of being a Sith. He has been an exile, a hostage, a prodigy, a beloved son and a noble scion in his life and while he did not always take it in stride, those that do not adapt or bend to their surroundings, break, and Kel remains unbroken. Battered, bruised and bowed, but unbroken. His notorious mother now dead, Kel has been "welcomed" back in to the Sith fold as it reconstitutes itself as an Empire. The people that hunted him and his mother now dead, Kel finds his purpose in being a dutiful servant of the Empire, doing the bidding of his masters, always with questions and meditations but unflinching in carrying them out.
To know Kel's background, the history of his mother, whose shadow covers his entire life, must be explained first. None can say from whence Lord Caesitas came from, only that she bore the pointed ears of the Sephi and was one of the most powerful Sith of her generation, whatever qualms the other Sith had about her status as an outsider squashed by her raw talent in the force and excessively refined, ethereal nature. However, like the other Sith of her time, she could not stop the collapse of the Sith Empire as their long war with the Republic ground their proud Empire in to dust and scattered their number across the worlds of the Old Empire.
In these dark days after the Republic's final victory a century ago, the Sith fell upon themselves as they had countless times in the past, tearing their worlds and each other apart in a brutal power struggle. The last Darth proclaimed under the laws of the Old Empire, Caesitas survived the war with her own powerbase relatively intact, but less given to conquest, she decided to carve out her own domain across the Argent Spur known as the Blue Kingdom. For about a decade this Sith domain prospered before those Sith Lords who had climbed out above the others in the initial power struggles were powerful enough to challenge her and desired her resources and those of her worlds. Blindsided by relentless attacks by her rivals, Darth Caesitas' dominion fell quickly and she barely escaped with her life.
But she did not live unfree for long, and was soon captured by Darth Lorr, another rival Sith warlord. In an unusual display for a Sith, Darth Caesitas willingly bowed before her captor and proudly, but earnestly begged for her life. This unusual display, both an affront and a delicious twist of irony to the rest of the Sith, earned Caesitas the title she would be known by for the rest of her life.
Darth Mendicant. The Beggar Lord.
Himself a noted scholar, and a man, Lorr soon fell in love with the sublime beauty who now served him as a researcher of the Dark Side arcane. She eventually became his consort but this did nothing to restore her reputation among the Sith and her new "title" became more widespread. Eventually, as Lorr became the king of the mountain, bones lain atop of bones, of what was left of the Sith, others eventually rose to challenge him. While far more able than his wife to hold off the assaults of these would be Dark Lords, eventually one came along that was more capable than the others and a decade after the fall of her own Kingdom, Darth Mendicant was once again forced to flee at a sudden change in circumstances, once again becoming a begging wanderer.
It was fortunate for her that no one knew that Lorr had posthumously fathered a child with Mendicant, his line continued in his unborn son. Working her way throughout the Outer Rim, blending easily enough in to the crowd of trillions of sentients but ever mindful not to draw attention from either the Sith and the Jedi who would both hunt her, Darth Mendicant eventually stumbled across a most intriguing discovery just before she gave birth to her child.
The prison world she discovered had no name recorded in the star charts but in her own, unknown tongue, Mendicant named the world "Correlon" and recognized as a wielder of the Force, the prison and its various automatons responded to her will, rather than imprisoning her with the other unfortunate sentients who stumbled across it over the years. The ancient machines helping her through her difficult childbirth and Mendicant craddled her son in her arms while she learned the secrets of her new domain.
It was here that Kel grew up, in a prison among ancient machines who were his friends, and the only other organics where his mother and her prisoners. As the years, then decades passed by, Kel learned at his mother's feet as his ability with the Force manifested, learning not only what she knew as a Sith, but also the knowledge she brought with her from her life before and what secrets she had gleamed from her prison planet.
While the prisoners grew old, Kel continued to slowly mature in to a young man, his mother and her machines remaining seemingly ageless and untouched by the ravages of both time and the prison itself. Totally isolated and secure, Kel's childhood was surely lonely and exceedingly unconventional by most galactic standards but Kel had little to compare it to, and most of the machines were animate enough to provide exceptional company and a convincing facsimile of social interaction. His mother, while consumed with learning what she could from the prison and beyond, was also committed in her dotage over her son, Mendicant's love sincere but with a certain quality that might have made it seem more like a mentorship to outsiders.
However long this isolation might have continued on for, it was interrupted in Kel's 44th year when Mendicant's sanctuary was breached by brigands under an unknown banner. A prison break ensued, a mere consequence of the raider's true mission but adding untold chaos to the situation and in the confusion, Kel was caught in the middle. Whatever their original goal, the group of invaders abandoned it in the face of adversity and took Darth Mendicant's child as leverage over her.
The orchestrator behind this entire plot revealed to be a Dark Side adept, strong in the force and especially gifted with powers of prophecy, which had led him to Correlon in the first place, this man sought out Darth Mendicant and her knowledge in pursuit of his own goals. Brought back before this prophet, Kel became his hostage to ensure Mendicant's cooperation. Just what the prophet wanted, like so much else in Kel's life, remained unknown to him, but it took years to acquire. The prophet, whose true name Kel never learned, became something of a father-figure to him for he bore the boy no ill-will but Kel's situation was hardly idyllic and hard compared to the life (strange as it might seam) he shared with his mother on Correlon.
If there was one thing the prophet wanted, or many, Kel remained unawares but after eight years the hammer of the Jedi fell upon the dark sider's head, finding him as he found Mendicant, having felt the prophet's dark machinations through the Force.
Kel doesn't remember what happened next that well, for whatever reason, and the next thing he remembers after the fog of battle was waking up on an Ithorian herdship.
Recognized as a young man, however old he might have been chronologically, Kel was cared for by the Herd that had found him. Not knowing how to return to his mother on Correlon, lacking the navigational coordinates, Kel accepted the fact that he might never see his mother again almost easily. Perhaps it was the eight years spent away from her already or the kindness of the Ithorians, but for the first time, Kel knew something of normalcy. Over the weeks, then months, then years, the Herd became a type of surrogate, then adoptive, family. For two decades Kel wandered the stars with the Herd. During this time his connection with the Force developed further as the raw life of the Herdship and the connection the Ithorians had with it unlocked even greater powers in him, all under the tutelage of the Masters of the Herd.
Five years ago, this all changed when shadows of the Sith cornered the Herdship on the Outer Rim, boarding the ship in secret and massacring most of its inhabitants, all in an attempt to capture Kel. The Sith had learned of Mendicant's survival all of these years and had tracked her down. However, unlike the last two times they came for her, these Sith were unable to capture her, her prison now a venerable bastion, still manned by ancient battle droids made even more deadly over the decades. Her prodigious use of Sithspawn likewise created a problem for the Sith attempting to reach her and they needed leverage. Divining that she had a child, the Sith followed the trail for over a year before finding the Herdship and taking Kel prisoner in exchange for the lives of the surviving Ithorians. An agreement, to the Sith's credit, they kept.
Her captured son presented to her for the first time in decades, Darth Mendicant surrendered and once again bowed before the Lords of the Sith to beg, this time for her son's life. Kel's life was spared and Darth Mendicant was interrogated, later quietly executed. Recognized as strong in the Force, rather than being thrown to the dogs or languishing as a prisoner once more, Kel was given education in the ways of the Sith Brotherhood. Four years later, when the Sith revealed themselves to the Galaxy at large, Kel's skills as a youthful, prodigious and likable emissary were called upon, entreating with various parties as the Sith looked quickly to expand.

Kel knows a great deal about pain and loss. Despite very barely being an adult and still not quite fully mature, this shell of youth masks the experience of years. He has seen wars, famine, pestilence and plague to say nothing of his own personal experiences as a hostage. Despite all of the weight on his heart, the tears in his eyes, the lamentations on his lips, Kel is not completely beset by pain and sadness. He is often sincere, erudite, and eager, perhaps a little too eager, when in the company of others, almost willfully betraying his true nature. A contradiction in terms, Kel is unmistakably a creature of light and is no true Sith, but seems unable or unwilling to escape the darkness he has known his entire life.
Dutiful, relatively unassuming, and young at a glance, Kel portrays the role of an eager young servant of the Empire, entreating with others on their behalf to expand the control of the Sith. His willingness, almost a childlike need, to serve is useful to his superiors and in his own way he has certainly done his part for the Empire, but will never be the great Sith Lords his mother or father were. While he is not looked upon with fondness by most in the order, the young Sith who does not carry a lightsaber is no easy target. Kel is a master of the arcane powers of the force, though his command of distinctively "Sith" techniques and teachings is below his peers. His pain and traumas also lurk precariously beneath the surface. While he cannot stand to give in to them, finding it difficult to do so, almost like despair requires effort. However, pain mixed with a certain bitterness and notion of powerlessness is powerfully evocative for most and Kel is no exception.
Why Kel continues on with his association with the Order his mother ran from, that slaughtered most of his adopted family and does things, commits atrocities he finds morally reprehensible, is a mystery. Perhaps he is good at compartmentalizing himself, compromising himself. But to what end? He works actively to advance the Sith's interest despite a sword of Damocles no longer hanging above his head. Some might say that his various psychological torments over the years actually have silently broken him, that he has come to identify with the people who held his chains, only to give them back freely. It is in this way that he certainly seems most like the child he truly is. Capable, exceedingly intelligent, an excellent liar, but ever malleable, and increasingly easy to manipulate.

Primary Weapons
Kel doesn't carry a lightsaber and before returning to the Sith, he never had training with one. To this day he does not carry one, reflecting his diplomatic nature and his role in the Imperial war machine, that is to say he doesn't have one. He relies exclusively on his prowess with the Force in combat though he has rarely been called upon to use his powers in such a way.
Misc
Communicator | Datapad | SOS Beacon | Holocam | Medkit
