​Darth Seer

History:

 

Many decades ago, a group of Sith combined their resources, to focus on bringing forth the fulfillment of the Harbinger prophecy: a child born of darkness and light, of sky and sea, strong enough to harness the power of the seven ancient dark spirits, and resist the light entirely, destined to be the Sith's greatest weapon and leader against the Jedi.

They saw a means to fulfill this, by hiring scientists to combine the DNA of a Sith assassin and a Jedi warrior, one of part Iegan blood, the other of Gaian royalty.

 

They created five test subjects, designated Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. Beta and Gamma were considered defective, while Epsilon showed the most promise in terms of genetic potential, with Alpha and Seer as possible spares, they lavished their new chosen one, with all the grooming and nurturing one could ask for, to become an eventual Queen of the Sith.
Alpha and Delta were trained daily, in combat, infiltration, basic force power usage, while also being subjected to medical and psychological tests. Alpha took well to her life, becoming a trusted while Delta did not, choosing to challenge and often rebel against the scientists' authority and structure--this of course, was met with frequent punishments: beatings, isolation and more--once he managed to overpower the guards, steal a blaster rifle and open fire on the scientists, but a Sith Lord who was conducting a surprise inspection, swiftly intervened, absorbing the bolts with his hand, not needing her lightsabre. From then on, guards were armed with non-lethal weapons only

For the first fifteen years of subject Delta's life, his existence was a cycle of defiance, being broken down to compliance, then defiance again, until his telepathic abilities began to manifest. For a time, he submitted obediently to the training and tests, hiding his new talent, gathering knowledge, forming tactics and learning secrets.

Once he head all he needed, he escaped, fleeing to the wilderness of Dxun, surviving among the beasts as a fellow predator, until hunters from Nar Shaddaa came, looking for dangerous animals for an illegal fighting arena--despite his abilities, subject Delta's weapons consisted of a spear and his natural claws--he was captured and fitted with a neuro-shock collar, and compelled to fight as a new attraction: the wild beast-man of Dxun, a slave fighter, pitted against monsters and dangerous captive warriors, from across the galaxy.

 

It wasn't all terrible, he was trained how to fight using a sword and axe, rewarded with substances and women, but in the end, he was still a slave.

 

Over the next five years, he fought for his life, at times defying his captors as he defied the scientists, but the neuro-shock collar wasn't just a pain inducing measure, and he tried, many times, to fight past the pain--the collar affected his nervous system. He could be immune to pain and never be able to fight it, but there might have been a way to absorb the energy.

 

Recalling how the Sith Lord was able to stop blaster bolts with his hand, absorbing the energy, he reasoned that he should be able to do the same with the collar. If he could do so for just long enough to break the damned thing, he could free himself and others.
He monitored the security routines, took note of the cameras and turrets, where weapons were kept and how they were secured, and how much focus he would need to use the force, to absorb the neuro-shock collar's charge, but most important of all, he organised with the other slaves, finding ways to communicate and coordinate in secret.

 

When the time came, there was a bloodbath. All the guards who didn't manage to escape, were slaughtered, but the slavers themselves were kept alive, contained in the cells. The new freed slaves had run of the fortress and all its resources. Delta wasn't done there, having become their unofficial leader, he used the slaver's ships and access to information, to tract down and capture the scientists, some of them now retired, having learned their services to the Sith were well rewarded.

 

The slavers and scientists were forced into the arena, with weapons left around, until the beast-man of Dxun addressed them from the announcer's box:

"Welcome everyone! Tonight, we have a special treat for you. The Nar Shardaa slavers and the minds behind the Harbinger project! How's that going by the way? I heard Epsilon was a bit of a let down, killed by some nobody, anyway, tonight, this special event fight is a free for all! Last sentient standing takes the prize. You get to live and leave here a free person."

 

The former captors, now captive, were less than cooperative. "What's that? You won't fight? Well, we wouldn't want you to feel forced, so you take your time, take all you need." Delta walked out, throwing some bottles of water into the arena. He knew there'd be resistance, but he wasn't going to have them beaten, instead, he'd let hunger and dehydration be their motivation.
It took a matter of days, arguing and desperation, but in time, the violence ensued, with Bob Nutura, one of the scientists standing as the victor, a geneticist who, using his payment from the Sith, established Nutura Industries, a research facility that started with bio-sciences, but also branched out into study of the technological singularity--it had been rumoured that Bob Nutura wanted to find a way to become immortal, but uploading his consciousness to the Holonet, as an eternal, digital sentient.

Sobbing and broken, the scientist who'd survived, using his medical knowledge to conserve his energy, and guide his attacks. Delta placed a hand on his shoulder to congratulate him.

 

"Well done, not the bantha I was betting on, but no matter, you did it, you won!"

 

"This is madness!" Bob replied, coated in blood, some dried, some fresh, sweating profusely and traumatised. "This is insanity! This isn't what we made you for!!"

 

"What then? Why did you make me and the others? To be a vessel for the seven dark spirits? Or was it so you could have a new genetic baseline? You fought to survive, just like we all did. Go, live your life, find your way to the Holonet, be the immortal you wish to be."

 

But Bob would not become immortal, he stabbed himself in the heart and bled on the floor. Delta took Bob's personal effects, all he needed to assume his digital identity, concocting the story that Bob had succeeded in uploading himself to the Holonet, adding Nutura Industries to his resources, including the fortress, and its ships, the Basilisk and the Bag of Tricks.

In the celebration that followed, the former slaves banded together to use the fortress for their own criminal activities, one of them asking how Delta broke free from the neuro-shock collar. As he told his story, it was jokingly suggested that Delta himself go become a Sith Lord, after all, a Sith would make a powerful leader.

Delta took the idea seriously, and left to get training. He enrolled at the Korriban Sith Academy, and began the real training. It was here that he met Salo'mei, a Sith Blademaster, and former alchemist who specialised in Sith sword forging, and the only other Sith he would ever truly trust. It was she who taught Seer the seventh sabre form of Juyo, an honour she bestowed to precious few.

He rose through the ranks, forming alliances with some, betraying and destroying others, in time, earning the vaunted rank of Master, and the title that would become his new name, his true name: Darth Seer.

Darth Seer kept himself apart from regular Sith politics, focusing on using his existing power base and adding to it, as well as sought out various Sith of great knowledge, learning from them. Among Seer's greatest teachers were Darth Galain, Darth Gideon, Kuraudo, Aniolas, and even Epsilon, the latter gifted her journals and artifacts to her brother.

 

This of course, was not enough for Seerm who hunted down many more Sith Lords, seeking their teaching, only to kill all but a few of them, right after telepathically siphoning their minds—one of them being Darth Eresh'kan, whose life, identity, research and resources were stolen by Seer, resources including the Iegan-spawn clans of Iego 6, that Seer now command.

Now, with the Naboo war having decimated the ranks of the Sith—Seer, who wisely stayed out of the conflict, has sought out a way to take advantage of the situation..
