Name: Ortheus (Formerly known as Raahas Lok)
Race: Kel Dor
Age: 41
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Appearance: He wears the traditional robes of the Sith Order that are black with a red lining on the bottom of the robes and around the edges of the hood while wearing a set of green and silver armour on his legs and arms rather than full armour to combat against being overcumbered.
His height is slightly taller than the average male of his species while his weight is pretty normal for Kel Dorians. His antiox breath mask is jet black as well as his eye covers. A scar runs along his left cheek from a blaster bolt clipping him during hie Knight Trials back when he was with the Order.
Personality: He has a short fuse and a terrible temper to match it. His anger and temper can be credited to the fact that unlike most orphans at the orphange he was placed in back on his homeworld of Dorin he never knew his parents. Always teased and forced to defend himself against his peers about his family and being 'different' he quickly relied on his ever present temper.
Always finding true peace in solitary, he tends to keep to himself unless the situation dictates that he must be in the company of others.
He is very highly opinionated, always putting in his 'two cents' whether asked for it or not. Also he doesn't put much faith in the opinons of others, especially if they don't agree with his.
He does not see eye to eye with the Sith Empire, mainly the aristocracy that run the show. Feeling they are nothing more than greedy politicians just like the Republic Senate thus should be eradicated just the same. However, he understands the need for organization so he follows orders handed down from the Empire.
There are two things he does find joy in. One is his solitary as mentioned earlier. with that he tends to venture out into the galaxy to clear his mind from all the troubles in the Order and in the galaxy it self. Clearing his mind of these troubles has become quite an obessession with him.
Another guilty pleasure he has, one he keeps to himself, is that he finds beauty in agricultural; mainly flowers. Unlike most of the Sith, he keeps a garden filled with various flowers and plants from planets all over the galaxy.

The Jedi Era
Chapter 1---The Beginning
Like all Jedi, Raahas Lok was found at a very young age. His mother had died during his birth on their home world of Dorin and his father had abandoned his mother when she was still carrying him. Having no other family, or any that would step up and claim him, he was sent to an orphanage. By the time he was two he began to exhibit behavior associated with Force sensitivity. Knowing the rules of the Republic, the head master at the orphanage contacted the Republic representative on Dorin who in turn contacted the Jedi Order. Soon two Jedi were dispatched to the planet where they immediately tested the young Kel Dor. Having passed the test he was taken from the orphanage.
Arriving at the Jedi Temple on the capital city of Coruscant he was accepted into the Order as an Intiate as all younglings are at his age. He was to begin his study in the ways of the Force. Though as he began to grow in age, his teachers started to sense his growing anger. Coupled with his ever growing temper he was reprimanded and taught to control the emotion of anger for that would lead to the dark side. Struggling at first to deal with this Raahas didn’t understand why such emotions such as anger or even love was frowned upon. Yet he found a way to cope through many hours of meditation.
Raahas was growing up as well as his connection to the Force and its most basic skills. He began to excel in the lightsaber sessions and his knowledge, through many hours at the archives, of Jedi lore and its history began to take notice of the Jedi Masters. Yet, his temper was well known and though he had a slight grasp on his anger many Knights or Masters were wary of taking him on as a Padawan.
Finally reaching age 12, a tournament was held for all the potential candidates for apprenticeship. The concept of the tournament was to give the Knights and Masters an idea for who was ready and who was to be designated to the agricultural corp. During the contest Raahas finished second in the competition. Though he had success he was not approached and he began to think that becoming a Jedi was turning into a waste of time. However, the Jedi Council decided to appoint him a Master anyway. They appointed him to Master Jolie Frese, a Lannik, who was slightly thrilled of taking Raahas as her Padwan. Raahas was now giving the title of Padawan.
Chapter 2---Padawan
Aware of the anger flowing through her Padawan, Master Frese kept a close eye on him always reminding him of the dangers. Raahas felt connected to his Master so when she spoke she strived to please her. Through her teachings his grasp of the Force had become remarkable though he was still along way from becoming a Knight while his skill with the lightsaber was average at best. He began to learn the different lightsaber forms his Master taught him. At last Master Frese deemed him ready to accompany her on missions not only outside the Temple but off world as well.
Their first mission together was to help transport some Mandalorian prisoners who were wrecking havoc on the shipping lanes throughout Republic space. Not long after their departure they were attacked by a group of space pirates aided by Mandalorians. This was Raahas first true test in a combat situation. Ordered by Master Frese to guard the prisoners, she led the Republican soldiers in defense of the space freighter.
Sensing danger Raahas drew his weapon, activated it, and stood vigilant against the threat that was quickly approaching. When the blast doors exploded two pirates stepped through firing their heavy repeating rifles. With his lightsaber in hand, Raahas deflected the shots. First aiming them at the ground, then he aimed them back at their previous owners. Just as one of the pirates fell from his returned fire Raahas quickly engaged the other striking him down. The deaths of the two pirates made Raahas feel something he never felt before. Joy in killing.
Soon the enemy was routed and the prisoners delivered to the prison on Coruscant. Raahas was praised for his heroics by both Master Frese and the Jedi Council. However, Master Frese sensed a difference in her Padawan. It seems the battle had slightly changed her Kel Dorian Padawan. Now she will watch him even closer even though she spoke to Raahas about what transpired on the prisoner barge.
Again the years had passed. While Raahas began to mature and his power in the Force becoming stronger so did his eyes open to what was going on around him. He began to question his Master on her methods of teaching and even at times disobeying orders. Not only was he slowly defying his Master but he began to question the wisdom of the Council and the Jedi Order itself. A growing concern in Master Frese began to manifest but the Council and Master Frese could not deny the fact that Raahas was becoming a strong Jedi. Soon his trials will begin….
Chapter 3--His Jedi Trials
Upon reaching the age of 22, the age in which Padawans can become Jedi Knights, he was brought before the Council. Since his ordeal on the prisoner ship he was granted the success of passing the Jedi Trial known as Trial of Skill.
When the Trial of Courage began, Raahas was sent on a mission in the Capital’s underbelly to retrieve a stolen datapad . After through investigations Raahas discovered that the datapad was in the possession of some low rate criminal organization trying to make a profit and increase their standings in the criminal world. Knowing that the Jedi were frowned upon in the underbelly he had to proceed with caution. Tracking them to their liar, Raahas struck. However, the criminal syndicate was aware of some Jedi poking around and set a trap for him in which his lightsaber was knocked from him by a stray blaster shot. Not prepared to deal with a confrotation of this magnatitude and now without his lightsaber, Raahas began to question his own courage.
He took to the rafters of the factory trying to find a way to overcome this situation while keeping out of sight from the criminals hunting him. Finding a secluded area he sat down and began to mediatate. Feeling the serenity returning to him through the Force added with the teachings of Master Frese, he began to feel more confident that this situation can be overcome.
Feeling his courgae grow he began to stalk the criminals one at a time disarming them without harming them until at last he was faced, still unarmed, with thier leader. Trusting the Force he challenged the leader to unarmed combat. Knowing the Jedi are truthful and this one unarmed, he agreed.
All those training sessions back at the Temple finally paid off for he was able to not only best the leader, but was able to retrieve both his weapon and the datapad.
Returning to the Temple, he brought back the datapad to the Council. They congraulated him on finding his courage in a scenerio that seemed could have costed him his life. He passed the second test.
Now he awaited the Trial of the Flesh. During his Trial of Courage, Raahas was hit by a stray blaster bolt which left a scar on the side of his left face, forever a reminder that carelessness in the heat of battle can lead to one’s death. Since he endured the pain and a scar as reminder of his Trial of Courage he was granted the successful completion of the Trial of the Flesh.
Now came the hardest test he would have to endure; Trial of the Spirit. His Master as well as the Council, and perhaps the entire Jedi Order, knew that Raahas was suffering to keep his anger in control. Many a reprimands and words of caution had come from both Master and Council concerning his anger and temper. He was sent away to meditate on this. After several days of meditating and ‘soul searching’ Raahas began to understand the dangers he would face if this emotion was allowed to grow or not kept in check. It was through a vision he had during one of his meditation sessions that he saw himself fall victim to the dark side. This not only worried him but scared him as well.
In his vision he saw himself not as a Jedi but as user of the dark side. Though not clear in the vision, but a face hung on the edges of this vision. A face shrouded in darkness that was tempting him with power if he gave into his base emotion of anger.
The vision shifted slightly showing Raahas killing the innocent and some of his fellow Jedi. Some during combat others through deception and treachery. As the vison ended he saw his Master lying dead at his feet. Though it was not certain if he killed her himself or was responsible in some way for her passing.
Opening his eyes as the force vision ended, he stood know with the understanding the his anger would be his downfall. That thing he saw in his vision was not him. Or would ever become him.
Upon returning to the Council he told them of this vision and the troubling effect it had on him vowing to work even harder to push this anger away. The Council deemed he had passed this trial since Raahas now became aware of the risk he was putting himself at by allowing the emotion to take hold of him. With a nod from the Grand Master, Raahas passed the last trial and was now to be Knighted.
Chapter 4---Knight Ceremony
After spending time meditating in the heart of the Tranquillity Spire with a few other Padawans who to were ready to be Knighted, he was called to the Hall of Knighthood. Kneeling in a darkened chamber he began to sense the presence of some of the most powerful in the Order. One by one the Masters ignited their lightsabers forming a circle around Raahas. The Grand Master, who was now standing in front of him, lowered his lightsaber. Gently he held the blade first over Raahas’ left shoulder then repeated it with the right shoulder. Just as he began to raise the blade he cut the ceremonial nylon braid, since Kel Dorians do not have hair, and it fell to the floor.
Rising to his feet he was embraced and congratulated by the other Masters of the Jedi Order. He was now a Jedi Knight.
Chapter 5---Jedi Knight
No sooner did he achieve Knighthood that the Republic and the Jedi Order were threatened with war from the Sith Empire and their Mandalorian allies. Raahas and many Knights were dispatched across the galaxy. Through his travels Raahas visited and defended many worlds. He vanquished those who embraced the dark side, or Dark Jedi some had called them, though he never truly understood why they embraced the dark side. He vanquished Mandalorians never truly understanding their hatred for the Republic and the Jedi Order.
However, through many fights and battles he began to hate the war and the Republic, for not fully committing, to the protection of the core worlds. The Jedi were peacekeepers not front line soldiers. Again he found his anger taking control of him and while at times he held in check; he also at times allowed it to surface guiding him through battles.
On the newly recovered world of Dantooine, Raahas found the taint of the dark side strong here. He also heard the echoes through the Force as it called to him. Despite the lure, he was here to do a job. Many Dark Jedi had returned to the world to hold it for their own. A major battle was fought and many Dark Jedi, along with a couple of Masters,were captured and imprisoned at the Republic camp. Truly wanting to understand what the dark side was he began to talk to one Dark Jedi Master in particular. A Dark Jedi Master named Krackus. Warned by Master Freles, his former Master now appointed Commander of the forces in this sector, to stay away from the Dark Jedi and their lies only drew him closer making him even more curious.
Through his conversations with this Dark Jedi Master the young Knight began to understand the force was so much more than what the Jedi Order taught. He began to understand that the Order feared the dark side because of the power it could bring. A power he himself found intriguing. He vowed he will seek out more knowledge of this power from the dark side and that this Krackus would aide him.
It was during one conversation that the camp fell under attack by the Dark Jedi and their allies. Torn between his duty to the Order and the knowledge he can possess from Krackus, Raahas decided he would help this Dark Jedi Master escape in the promise they will meet at some pointe so Raahas can learn what the dark side had to offer. While trying to help Krackus escape a couple of Jedi Knights intervened and were cut down from behind by some Dark Jedi. Following the orders from the Krackus, Raahas was not to be harmed.
Just as they reached the area where the Dark Jedi Master, Dark Jedi, and Raahas were to part ways a Jedi Master leapt into view. Master Freles. Ordering Raahas to help her she struck at the Dark Jedi killing three of them. During the battle Krackus came into possession of a lightsaber from one of the falling Dark Jedi. Krackus and Jedi Master Freles squared off. While the Jedi Master and Dark Jedi Master met blade to blade, Raahas stood and watched torn. At last Master Freles cut the hand off of Krackus leaving him defenseless. Laying on the ground looking up at Master Freles, Krackus pleaded to Raahas to help him.
If Krackus was to be recaptured or even slain all the knowledge he possessed would never be taught to Raahas himself. Igniting his blade he stood between Master Freles and Krackus. Knowing what was transpiring, Master Freles shook her head raising her blade to Raahas. Sighing to himself, Raahas raised his blade and former Master and Padawan fought.
While the duel was reaching a climax, Krackus rose to his feet calling his lightsaber to his hand. Masking himself in the Force he crept up from behind Master Freles. Now within range he struck out his crimson blade through her right shoulder. Screaming in agony as she dropped first her weapon, then she in turn fell to her knees. Krackus spoke to Raahas telling him what he must do. Looking into the pleading eyes of his former Master, Raahas raised his blade betraying his former Master and turning his back on the Jedi Order.
Birth of a Monster
Chapter 1---Pathway to Darkness
Krackus and Raahas arrived on Korriban and immediately entered the Academy there. Krackus told Raahas that he can train him for he was needed back on the front lines in their war against the Republic and their Jedi puppets. However he would return from time to time to check on his progress. The head Master at the Academy, Master Seelo, explained to Raahas that he would not be pampered here like the Jedi Order pampered their students.
Raahas was brought to a training chamber where several of the students were waiting for Master Seelo. Upon seeing the fallen Jedi they began to eye him with suspicion and distrust. Raahas knew this was going to be a difficult path but he could feel the power of the dark side here and decided he would not allow the other students to push him around. His first test came quickly when Master Seelo paired Raahas against another student in lightsaber combat. Raahas was already stronger in the Force than these students and more skilled with the lightsaber due in part to his training with his former Jedi Master but he was still view by the others the outsider.
The student stood no chance against this one time Jedi Knight. Raahas defeated him easily while the other students only scoffed at his victory. Raahas quickly assessed that if he was going to survive whatever treachery the other students were planning for him he better learn what the dark side had to offer.
Raahas spent hours in the Academy library soaking up all the knowledge through tomes and holocrons on the ways of the dark side of the Force. In class he paid attention never given the other students a second though. Soon the dark side was growing inside him soon replacing the light side. He felt his connection and strength rise through the dark side; embracing it as a mother embraces her child.
The students were sent to the Valley of the Sith Lords. Here they were allowed to seek out whatever knowledge they could from the now opened tombs of the Sith Lords that were laid to rest here in the valley. As he entered one of the tombs he felt a tremble in the Force. He knew there were two students in here you despised him. Sensing an ambush he treaded carefully through the tomb. Arriving at the resting burial of the Sith Lord Ajunta Pall the students attacked.
Gripping his lightsaber he fought them, killing them both. Looking down at the broken bodies of his two former classmates he learned another lesson in what it meant to be a Sith. Never again would he allow himself to be caught unawares or unprepared.
Chapter 2---Apprentice
Through his hard work and dedication to the dark arts he soon caught the eye of a Dark Jedi Master willing to take him on as his apprentice. Dark Jedi Master Rhi Tooke, a Twi’lek, taught him that his anger was a gift not a curse as the Jedi once told him. Embracing this anger would make him a powerful Dark Jedi. His new dark master did not care that he was once a Jedi, in fact he believe that a true powerful dark side user should have been a Jedi at one time in order to understand the dark side completely. Unlike his Jedi Master, Master Tooke taught him weakness and mercy would be his undoing. So his Master decided to test him.
Arriving on a colony on the outskirts of the Outer Rim, Master Tooke told him that there were four who had lost their way and their punishment was death. Show no mercy and bring him their lightsabers was all Master Tooke said. So Raahas took to the colony in search of these traitors. After a day or two, Raahas finally learned of their location. Masking himself through the Force, a technique his Master taught him, he was able to sneak up and surprise the four. Again with the odds against him Raahas fought with ferocity and brutality. One by one they fell to his crimson blade.
With their lightsabers now in his possession he returned to his Master. Pleased with how effectively Raahas dealt with them he now deemed him ready to learn a powerful dark side power. Force lightening. Standing a few yards from his Master he learned firsthand what it felt like to be on the receiving end of the dark art. As the blue energy snatched up his body causing him to howl with pain he felt his anger to begin to rise. Channeling his anger he was able to overcome the pains from his Master’s lesson. Once the lesson was learned, Master Tooke sent him out once again into the Valley of the Sith Lords with only the Force as his weapon. His lesson, kill at least six tukata with the Force lightening.
Not liking surprises, Raahas called on the Force sending out tendrils to locate each tukata. He knew the beasts were no match for someone wielding a lightsaber but he was unarmed. So stealth was his best weapon now. When he located one he called on the dark side, fueled by his ever growing anger, extending his hands out in front releasing the crackling blue energy. At first he struggled with the first two he encountered but by the time the sixth one fell dead he had an understanding of this newly acquired power. With more and more practice he would master this dark art.
Returning to the Academy he found his Master standing out front with a sinister smile upon his face. Returning his lightsaber to him his Master struck out at Raahas. Reacted swiftly he activated his weapon in time to block his Master’s lightsaber attack. Finding himself on the defensive, Raahas blocked and parried the attacks from Master Tooke never finding solid ground to go onto the offense. Stepping back his Master deactivated his weapon. Yet again Raahas learned another lesson about being a Dark Jedi; trust no one including your own Master.
Chapter 3---Broken Chains
Now age 27 and 4 years under Master Tooke’s teachings Raahas was ready to step out under his Master’s shadow. His last test was to kill his Master’s rival the Dark Jedi Master Krackus. Though Raahas knew he owed Krackus everything for bringing him to the Academy, he also knew that Master Tooke earned his loyalty by teaching him the ways of the dark side. Handing the knowledge of Krackus’ whereabouts, Raahas went to do his Master’s bidding.
When Raahas was brought before Krackus, who was at his laboratory, his plan was simple. Strike hard and strike fast. Also he had one advantage that Krackus did not have. Raahas knew how Krackus fought while Krackus never saw Raahas’s skill with the lightsaber. Raahas also knew he could not match the power of the dark side with Krackus so he had to act before the Dark Jedi Master knew what was upon him.
The second the doors shut behind Raahas and Krackus walked over to him, Raahas attacked. In blinding speed he pulled out his killing tool, switched it on, and fell upon the Dark Jedi Master. Caught unaware at first, Krackus Force leapt backwards barely missing being skewed. With a sinister laugh he drew his blade and met Raahas in the centre of the cold and dark laboratory. The clashing of the two blades echoed throughout the chamber. Raahas could sense that Krackus was not as powerful as he once been and Raahas pressed the Dark Jedi Master harder and harder.
Feeling the energy of his foe weaken he knew that Krackus would turn to the Force to win this battle. Raahas was ready. Parrying a block from Raahas that caused Dark Jedi Master to have his weapon knock from his metal hand, Krackus jumped back raising his undamaged hand to the air. However, throughout the entire duel Raahas been fueling his power in the dark side with his anger. Seeing the Krackus' hand begin to rise, Raahas acted quickly calling on his power and unleashed a forked stream of blue energy at the Dark Jedi Master. Unprepared for the assault and no weapon to block the lightening attack, Krackus’ body was engulfed by the Force power causing his body to convulse.
Howling in pain as his skin began to boil he fell to the ground barely conscience. Slowly walking up to him like a predator, Raahas drew his blade up high and sliced down extinguishing the life of Krackus. Calling the former Dark Jedi Master’s weapon to his hand he returned to his waiting Master.
Feeling the weapon of his slain rival in his hand Master Tooke nodded to his apprentice telling him to drop to a knee and bow his head before him. He told Raahas that he has learned all he could from him and it was now time to forge his own destiny. He was told to choose a new name for his old name, Raahas Lok, was a name that he was chained to and now the time had come to sever that chain. Looking up at his master he uttered the name ‘Ortheus’ for it meant in his native tongue ‘Angered One.’
Chapter 4---Ortheus
Free of his bonds, free of the lies of the Jedi, free from his dark Master’s teachings, Ortheus sought out on his quest to learn all the dark arts. Coming into possession of a lost holocron from some Sith Lord nobody really care about he began to learn a new dark power; Force Crush. Ortheus studied the holocron soaking up every word the Sith Lord spoke. Having learned all he could from the artifact he destroyed it so no other can learn the power he just learned himself.
Practicing first with droids then moving onto the tukata he began to grow more confident and comfortable in this new power. Now he wanted to try it on something that mattered. Attending a class at the Academy he called out three students to attack him. As they coordinated their attack he called on the dark side throwing a wave of dark energy at them crushing their bodies against the far wall. The other students watched in awe while the Master teaching the class nodded in approval. Truly the dark side was his calling, not the feeble minded Jedi Order.
Now fully in tuned with the dark side it was time to pass along his knowledge to an apprentice. Scanning the available students to choose from he found the one he would mentor. He chose female Togruta, named Sheera Tiiki, to be his apprentice. She smiled as he called her name and quickly with one flick of his wrist he threw her to the ground wiping that smile from her face. Looking down at her he smiled himself and told her to follow him.
Chapter 5---Ortheus and Sheera Tiiki
He wanted to train her so that she would be as powerful as he himself is; also in order to achieve the rank of Master he must take on an apprentice. Just as his Master taught him he taught her that mercy was for the weak However he taught her that killing without purpose was needless slaughter, something all Dark Jedi should learn. Alas, not all users of the dark side are created equal.
He taught her the numerous lightsaber styles; Shii-cho which he learned as a Jedi Padawan then mastered as a Dark Jedi. The lightsaber styles of Makashi and Soresu he learned under Master Tooke always working to master these styles. He infused his knowledge of their strengths and weakness to her. He taught her how to channel her greatest emotion, which he found through probing her mind that it was fear, to use as fuel to strengthen her hold on the dark side. In time he will teach her the use of force lightening but will withhold the knowledge of Force Crush. Sometime a Master needs to stay one step ahead of her apprentice or she make a grab for his power. She began to learn at a rate that he himself found impressive. He chosen right and Sheera Tiiki would make a powerful Dark Jedi one day.
Finally reaching the age of 32, the rightful age to become a Master, he gave his apprentice on final test. He sent her to the remote world of Dathomir with the goal of bringing back the headdress of a witch named Mother Kie. Succeed and she will become a full Dark Jedi and he a Master. Fail and if the Nightsisters did not kill her he surely would.
A week had passed and his apprentice returned worst for the wear but succeeded in bringing the headdress of Mother Kie. He took the headdress, tossed it aside, and told her to kneel before him. He explained to her she had finally passed her final test and that he was pleased with how she turned out. Like his Master before him, he told her to choose a name. After several passing moments she looked up into his eyes and uttered the word ‘Murkio’
Five years later after reaching the title of Master, the Sith Empire began to rise again. Though neve one for politics he embraced this new Empire by throwing himeslef with this lot. In time he will seek out the rank of Sith Lord.
RP Sample:
The shuttle bay doors opened followed by the squeaking sound as the ramp slowly descended to touch the ground that awaited it. With a slightly than average clank the ramp touched down. Soon a figure dressed in the traditional Sith robes, with the hood cover most of his face, strode down the ramp with a purpose.
As his black boot touched the ground he pulled back the hooded revealing that he was a Kel Dor. The trio of guards that waited for him cringed slightly at the figure before them. With his voice altered due to his breathing mask the Kel Dorian said,""I am Lord Ortheus and I believe what passes for....royalty in these parts are expecting me." One of the guards steps forward with a stammering voice replies,"Ye...yes Lord Ortheus. Pl..please follow us"
While the guards turn to lead the Sith to the palace Ortheus smiles to himself knowing that fear is truly his ally. Passing through the hallowed halls of the Royal family of Tennyenson, Ortheus spots all the portraits of past Kings and Queens. Snickering to no one or anything in particular he knows that even this family is doomed but that is why he is here. They contacted him, not the Jedi, meaning that whatever troubles they are facing they want it gone. Forever!
Upon entering the massive and decorative Palace Hall he spots the King and Queen of this planet sitting up high on their throne. Stopping before him the head security guard announces,"I present Lord Ortheus your majesties" Then turning to the he whispers,"You are to bow before the..." Cutting the guard off Ortheus hisses,I bow to no one!"
Sensing a potential situation brewing the King waves the head security chief away. Rising to his feet the King introduces himself then gets to the pointe,"Excuse our security chief Lord Ortheus. I know you are a busy person and time is of the essences so I shall jump right to why we have called upon you. It seems that are warehouses in the Ziol sector are being targeted by pirates. Needless to say this must stop. We will reward you with anything your heart desires. All you need is but ask."
Sensing no betrayal or treachery from the King or queen or anyone in the room through the Force, Lord Ortheus raising his voice slightly asks,"What I desire. Interesting. I have but one question. Why not contact the Jedi Order?"
The King and his orange coloured Queen shoot each other a quick glance then she says,"We do not want the noisy Jedi poking around in our warehouses. What the Jedi do not know is better for them and us" Smiling to the Queen Lord Ortheus understands her meaning.
As he begins to turn his back he says,"Have your security transmit the coordinates of all the known attacks to my ship's computer. This reward we will discuss when I get back."
