"Life is beautiful and intricate. There are lessons to be learned in every aspect of existence; from and beyond the Force itself; personal and worldly; physically, mentally and spiritually, in every domain." -Remus to Satkia Beltrak

Remus[]
Once a Sith Warrior, Remus had always found himself rejecting conventional Sith teachings, much preferring the study of universal balance between Dark and Light. Always the philosopher and scholar, he eventually drove himself away from the Sith to become a Jedi, although would sooner call himself a 'Grey Jedi' than anything else. He idolises the ancient Je'daii civilisation - the 'grey' precursors to the Jedi - and their teachings of balance between the Dark and Light Side, and secretly hopes to one day revive their teachings.
A scientist by default, Remus has grown fascinated in midi-chlorians and their connection with lifeforms and the Force, as well as the connections and relationships between the Light side and the Dark side. Slowly, he builds his library of universal knowledge that he so desperately strives towards accomplishing.
History[]
Early Days[]
Growing up in the underworlds of Coruscant, Joseph Ferran had a rough upbringing. Born into a poor family with a sick mother, he was an only child that suffered from regular physical abuse from an often-drunk father. When he was 15 years of age, his mother died causing his father to lose what little amount of sanity he had in him and beat Joseph within an inch of his life. In one violent instance, Joseph nearly died, but felt himself rushed with a burst of hidden energy and power which motivated him to retaliate, resulting in him stabbing his father repeatedly until his demise.
In roughly a year's time, Joseph managed to find a way off of Coruscant, after hearing news of a smuggler vessel docked nearby the slums of his home. He was able to sneak aboard the vessel heading off-world, during which he hijacked the ship. He killed the smugglers and sold their goods to the original buyer which, by shear luck, landed him with a series of further smuggling jobs.
For a year he smuggled his way through the ranks of the underworld, and met his soon-to-be love of his life, Lola Alenier, a fellow smuggler of about the same age as him. They decided to settle down, where Joseph would start a new life with her and make a living as a farmer and trader. Unfortunately, the relationship was shortlived and Joseph was betrayed by his lover due to threats of murder for both of them. He left Lola to the fates and returned to space, smuggling for another 10 years...
The only salvagable image of Remus before his time with the Sith (during his time on Stars' End).
He moved from one planet to another as a smuggler and thief under the aliases 'Eko', 'Arto' and 'O'. For a short time was imprisoned in Stars' End, where he met Bane, who became a good friend to him, until he managed to escape and continue his smuggling work. He eventually heard news of The Sith Empire recruiting and, tired of the routined lifestyle he had set himself in, thought it could be a chance to hone his abilities and open a new chapter…
Joining the Sith and Becoming Reborn[]
"Eko died with his 'family'. I am reborn now. I am now... Remus." -Remus after murdering his family
Upon joining the The Sith Empire, Remus, then known as Eko, quickly developed a rivalry with fellow Sith Disciple Lynnia, confronting her on numerous occasions often resulting in verbal and sometimes physic
al attacks. His constant teasing was suddenly silenced when Lynnia gave him a lesson he would not soon forget.
Training under the ever watchful gaze of Mandalorion Darth Heretic, Remus quickly picked up on his Force training, learning basic Telekinesis very quickly, however soon after, Heretic disappeared from the Sith temple, leaving Eko's training unfinished. This was finally resolved, however, when the Echani Raien Keth offered to train him after an encounter in a ruin on Munto Codru.
Remus reborn.
After some time of training, Remus began to have visions and nightmares regarding his past, and soon journeyed to Maridun with his master to confront his innermost demons. There he discovered the truth of his parents - His biological parents were a happy, prosperous family with a daughter, who abandoned Remus upon his birth. When he learned about this, Remus lost his mind and killed the whole family, and later moved to destroy the entire village where they were residing. At this same time, Bane, an old friend of Remus and now a Jedi, happened to be there by coincidence and attempted to reason with Remus, but to no avail, and the slaughter continued. It was at this moment where the man known as Eko ceased to exist and Remus was born.
Promotion to Warrior, Building of Alliances and the Claiming of a Servant[]
“Remus, besting every challenge I have put before you, you kneel a disciple and rise a warrior, able to go forth as you desire from these walls in the service of the Empire.” -Raien Keth
Shortly after these events, Remus was awarded the rank of Sith Warrior and all of the freedoms it included. He began travelling the galaxy once again, looking for unique and rare parts to contribute to the construction of his lightsaber. On his travels he met the Lirit Stian, a Ryn Jedi whom Remus took an almost instant
liking to. With her assistance, Remus claimed a part for his lightsaber from an old contant he claimed during his smuggling years, however was later attacked by an old nemesis hired to hunt him down. During the small ensuing alleyway fight, Remus received a shot to the arm. This was easily remedied, however, with the persistance of Lirit to use the bacta that Remus had stocked in his ship. From there they parted ways.
Cailín, Remus' wyrwulf companion.
Whilst travelling into the forests of Munto Codru one morning, Remus stumbled across a pack of young, feral wyrwulves. The biggest, although not the alpha, took greatest interest in the Sith. A small squabble broke out between this wyrwulf and the alpha, who quickly left along with the rest of the pack, leaving Remus and the wyrwulf alone. A predatorial beast shortly appeared afterwards and attacked the two. Remus fought the creature for at least half an hour until finally killing it, proving his dominance and strength to the present wyrwulf. Recognising the strength, she then proceeded to follow him, becoming his loyal companion. Remus' train of thought lead to the plan of raising the young canine to adult, humanoid life, when by then she would remain loyal as she did in animal form, and would act as Remus' servant and student. However, time would tell...
Not long after these events, the Warrior took his new wyrwulf companion along with him to Coruscant alongside the Sith Knight Darth Proeliator. Together, they sweeped the building in search for artifacts, tools and knowledge, although they activated a defence mechanism from the Temple along the way. Fortunately, they quickly dispatched of them and made an easy escape.
Further Training, Independent Philosophies and Lifechanging Events[]
Shortly after this time, Remus helped Darth Proeliator in recruiting Ashaiya, a wild 14 year old, into the Sith. Impressed with her audition, he ultimately contributes to her fate with joining. Not long after, Remus travels to Onderon, taking in the history of the area. There, he meets the Dark Jedi Alen Na'Varro and a spat of battle explodes in an alleyway between the two, before Remus makes a swift escape, mocking Na'Varro all the while. After some meditation, he predicted that this meeting would not be their last.
Eventually, Remus travelled to Coruscant for business reasons, and whilst doing so meets Bane, his old friend whom he betrayed on Mariduun. Suddenly, the guilt of everything he had done to him hit him all in one instant. He also felt the pain for his adopted mother, Sara Ferran, the only person to ever love him, on the exception of Bane. Completely stricken with pain and remose, Remus broke down and fled Bane's presence. This event and all the events building up to these moments started to haunt him terribly, so he attempted to heal himself via meditation and, when that failed, constant walking through the wilderness of Munto Codru. During his walks, he stumbled across the Sith Knight Fari-Fax, who he seeemd to share some manner of mutuality with. Together, they walked back to the Sith Temple, discussing their philosophies and opinions, yet avoiding their real reasons for being so far out in the wilds.
Still finding no resolve to his thoughts, and trying to avoid the ultimate, Remus traveled to Drifter's Paradise in hopes of forgetting all about himself, his worries and everything to do with the Sith, for a small amount of time at least. There, he met Princess Terra Drakontas who he began to discuss professionally with about financing her home planet in exchange for trade perks.
Around this time, the Warrior also began to seek out the training of other Sith Knights, frustrated with the disappearance of his current master, and giving no mind to the concept of loyalty. He learned the power of Force manipulation and resonance from Sith Knight Baska Tankreyd, which helped him greatly in his persuits of power on Xextos, giving him greater influence over his subjects. He also studied Makashi (Form II) under the instruction of Darth Proeliator.
Remus, the free-thinking Sith.
Remus later met the young Ashaiya once more and learns of her preference of mind over matter. Secretly he became irritated that he was not the right rank to train her himself, thinking they would be a great duo, but he expresses his own personal philosophies onto her; philosophies of independent mind and, in some way, disloyalty to the Sith Empire. However, he was careful not to tread too far into the realms of opinions, for fear of being overheard or betrayed.
Unfortunately, Remus' history finally caught up with him. Still stricken with grief and haunted by what he had done to Bane, and his inability to help his mother from well over a decade ago. Sending a holomessage to Lirit, asking to meet her on Coruscant, Remus travelled to the place of his birth, slowly degrading into a jittering nervous wreck. When he arrived, with Lirit, he entered the remains of his old home, which shortly fell onto the duo. For a time, Remus was unconscious, yet received a vision of his mother, who spoke directly to him, reassuring him that he did not cause any pain in her life, nor was her death his fault. This eventually caused Remus to let go of his pain and guilt, and he experienced a spiritual reawakening.
Defection To The Jedi[]
After the moments of personal salvation on Coruscant, Remus began to question himself as a person, most of all as a Sith. He started to value life much more, and eventually transformed his crime syndicate, Eko Enterprises, into an honest transportation and trading company. He began to find himself stumbling across more and more Jedi, including Guardian Satkia Riker, Master Amalia Braska and Terrance Wilkinson. Pondering on the Force, he understood that it was guiding him towards another path. He visited the Jedi tavern on Yavin to make more sense of his thoughts. There he re-encountered Lirit and Terrance as well as meeting a relatively newer Jedi by the name of Talitha Vadoma. His discussions with them only further amplified his contemplations.
Remus, the Jedi.
Finally, Remus made the decision to leave, but he had one more thing to do first. Back on Munto Codru, he summoned Ashaiya to see him at his quarters. To her he said his goodbyes, but not before giving the young Sith his long-used, much-trusted dagger, as an heirloom of sorts. With Cailín, he left his life on Munto Codru behind, but was sure he and Ashaiya would meet again, some day.
To Yavin he travelled, to follow his destiny, and over a process lasting but a few weeks, the Jedi Council took him in. Master Satkia Beltrak took him under her wing, thus beginning his long path of Jedi training...
Cailín[]
During his time on Munto Codru, Remus stumbled across the young wyrwulf that became to be known as Cailín, who very quickly became a loyal companion. The two gradually developed a Force bond, to the point where they both share very similar thoughts most of the time, all the while maintaining their own psychological independence. So far, Cailín remains a young canine, but Remus has plans to train her fervently when she grows into a humanoid.
Frozen Star[]
The lobby area for Frozen Star.
Slowly, Remus began to build up a small crime syndicate on Nar Shaddaa, leading it until the pseudonym of 'O'. Having gained many contacts from over a decade of smuggling, he was swiftly able to form a business with regular income, naming it Frozen Star. Whilst the majority of Frozen Stars' business came from smuggling, it also included loan sharking, gambling, extortion, kidnapping and, occasionally, slave trading. The syndicate developed contacts within the Hutt Cartel and Black Sun, and soon became rather infamous, attracting a lot of attention from various law enforcement organisations.
Around the time Remus returned to his former home on Coruscant with Lirit Stian, the syndicate's headquarters were raided by Imperial agents. From that point on, Remus washed his hands of Frozen Star. Yet the company lives on, continuing to deal unsavoury business.
Physical Features[]
Remus wears a ring with his blood family's insignia. It was obtained from his blood father after he murdered his family in Maridun out of revenge. He initially wore it as both a mockery and a trophy. Now, as a Jedi, he wears it as a symbol of what he once was, and a reminder never to fall to such levels again.
