Background Father • Fier Qatal Mother • Unnamed Slave Siblings • None known Other Important Connections • Empress Renata Overall History • Raiz's history is shrouded in mystery to just about everyone, and he keeps hit hidden. He was born to a master Assassin named Fier, who was a powerful force user, and an unnamed, half insane slave woman who's only job was to give Fier a powerful heir. Before Raiz, every child was not sensitive to the force. Raiz, however, was very strong, even as an infant. Fier was the leader of a cult of assassins based out of Kuras IV. And he had been the leader for nearly two centuries. His power was starting to slip, and he wanted to perform some old sith ritual involving transferring his essence into someone he had blood ties to. For that, he needed a strong child. He was taught only combat and survival for years, as that was all that Fier felt his son needed. At the age of 10, Raiz killed his first person: a slave that tried to escape captivity on Kuras IV. Raiz was calm about it, but hesitated. For the hesitation, Fier shocked the child. And continued to do so until Raiz relented and killed the man. Fier was disappointed, yet continued to train the child in all things. 10 years later, Raiz was given a second chance. Older and darker, he was forced to kill his mother, and his siblings. He did so without hesitation, his mind cracking and he fully fell to the darkside of the force. After that, Fier deemed the first step of his training complete. For 30 years, Raiz was in the galaxy, working as an assassin; a murderer; a mercenary. He was what everyone was afraid of hiding in their closets and under their beds. He killed and murdered hundred of people. His reputation was hidden but it was there. When he was 50, his father tried to take his body, but Raiz was stronger than the other thought, and in turn, Raiz killed his father, and took control over the Cult. He had no plans on changing it, besides taking more jobs and gaining more wealth. For the next 50 years, Raiz rarely left Kuras IV, save for if there was something that he only trusted himself doing. He sat back, gained all sorts of knowledged, and led his cult with an iron fist. He rarely tolerated failure, and entrusted others to bring back valuable recruits one way or another for him to 'employ.' At the age of 99, the Mandalorains attacked the Republic in a futile attempts at glory. Simply for fun, he sent his Assassins out to play havoc across the lines, infiltrating both sides to learn and kill if needed. Raiz took it upon himself to take ventures into the Republic, portraying an enigmatic businessman. For years, he learned and studied the finer arts of social activity. He studied science and art too, remedying his lack of knowledge and schooling. At the age of 135, Raiz decided that he would play a more active role with his Cult, and went out more often on dangerous missions. Somehow, his cult was discovered, and while he was away, a small army raided his temple there and killed everyone within, half destroying it as well. Some enemies were still there when Raiz arrived, and the man slaughtered them all. After that, he traveled to Korriban, once a place for Sith and what he found there... was Sith. A host of uncultured swine in his opinion who were working to rebuild a new academy. From here,he learned of a new order of Sith. The were nobles and fancy people who decided to leave the Republic under the old name/ Using all of his skills from his long life so far, he fell in with them. He fell in with them, letting himself fall under a small noble family as he studied and learned about what was going on. At 139, the Sith attacked the Republic finally. Together with those from Korriban, they became a worthy Empire, or so it seemed to Raiz. He made himself known as a force user now, and joined in the fighting, not as a true soldier, but as someone who was more as a leader. He was older, and more experienced than many others, and he took it on himself to start training a new batch of assassins. He stayed out of the limelight and many battled directly. Instead, he did as he was trained to do for many years: Assassinate others. Though he was a teacher, he still showed others how it was done the proper way. Throughout the war over the next 10 years, both active and quiet, he trained, learned, and assassinated. Somehow, in those years, he became a commander of sorts, while not leading from the front, he planned, his tactical mind being useful to someone. Large army tactics became a commonplace in his mind,  and studies of tactics and what worked and didn't over the last few wars helped greatly with him instructing others in what to do. He fell into a leadership roll, not wanting to be at the top yet. He preferred the shadows, to stay away from the light. When Renata became Empress, he offered the woman his services in all ways, and vowed to serve her in any capacity that he was able to, be it as a teacher to others, a blade in the dark, or military commander. He was hers to command.
