Theraph Pagha is a former Jedi Knight and Sith. Born on an unknown planet (most likely Dathomir due to his species), he was found by the Jedi Order at the age of twelve, enslaved on a pirate freighter and used as labour in the ships engine bay. Although many Jedi opposed his induction into the order, citing that he was too old and had suffered to much on the ship to be taught true inner peace, the council ultimately approved of his training due to his strong connection to the force.

Pagha grew up and became an astute and quiet, albeit cold-hearted padawan. He was tutored by many masters throughout his training. When he rose to the rank of Jedi Knight he quickly became renowned in the order for his methodical and calculating personality and style of Lightsaber combat, though all around him sensed that not far from the surface of his seemingly emotionless personality lay a burning rage waiting for its time rise from his soul. Fuelled and refined in the furnaces of the freighter he had endured in his childhood. The council grew worried of his pathological nature and would have confronted him about it…had the Exiles not returned.

At the outbreak of the Hundred Year Darkness Pagha was quickly thrust into the front lines of the conflict. It was in these years Pagha would prove his aptitude as a commander on the battlefield. Pagha led his forces in daring offensives, sly counter-attacks and ruthlessly efficient raids. Even amongst the ranks of the Exiles, Pagha had made a name for himself as one of the most gifted tacticians of his order. But it was in the heart of these first years of the war that Pagha began to slip. In the heat of battle, He had been known to enter a seemingly uncontrollable state of rage, violently slaughtering the enemies of the Jedi, even ordering his troops to execute enemy forces that had surrenderd.

By the second year, Theraph was little more than a dark shadow of the Jedi, working on the fringes of the republic, forever relentless in his pursuit of Exiles. But he could have never known the fate that would soon be his…nor the endless torture he was about to suffer…

During a battle that is conveniently missing from the Jedi archives, Pagha’s fleet was ambushed in high orbit of an agricultural world in the mid rim. Even with his veteran strategic knowledge he was unable to recover from the Exile fleet, which outnumbered his own severely. During the vicious battle his fleet was utterly decimated and what was left of his flagship was forced to make a hard landing on the planet.

Battered and past half-strength what remained of his army readied itself for a glorious last stand, led by Pagha himself…It was a last stand that never came. Seemingly to spite the Jedi Knight that had illed them for years, the Exile fleet unleashed a deadly Bio-plague upon the planet, the plague was engineered to slowly decay living matter, eventually turning the still alive victim to a mummified corpse in a matter of slow excruciating days. The fleet bombarded the entire planet, transforming fertile fields, flora and the populace into rotting husks.

By the time a republic fleet arrived just over a day later there was only one survivor left on the entire planet, Theraph. Taking shelter in the ship just seconds before the first bombs hit, he had been clinging to life in the wrecked hull, using the force to keep him an inch from death. Medical droids did what they could upon discovering him, but the it was clear, Theraph was dying. In a state of denial Theraph rapidly descended into madness. Seeking a solution to his ever-apparent mortality Theraph disappeared from known space, presumably seeking to extend his life.

Recently he has returned, although he is a shadow of his former self… his knowledge of the Dark Side has extended his life far beyond its natural span however his body is in a painfully slow state of entropy, what remains of his form is encased in metal and much of his internal organs have been ravaged by the Bio-plague, forcing him to slowly replace them with robotic counter-parts. Theraph has returned to the galaxy as his final effort, following his near century long exodus he believes to have discovered the final secret to his immortality and is willing to once again tear a wound in the galaxy to achieve it. The only question is, where is his solution? And who will oppose him?

(Apolgies for no pictures or links, I couldn't find an image that I thought resembled him and I lack the artistic skill to create my own, nonethless I hope you enjoyed)
