Mahress

Darth Mahress, (Former) Protector Of The Preservation


"I am no slave, I am the cleansing light that will cause extinction to your Republic... and your Order! I am sith, and you will plea my name. Until that last glimpse of hope shatters among your dying prayers... " - Mahress The Throne Breaker.

Darth Mahress was a Human male Lord of the Sith who served the Sith Empire during the great galactic and cold war. Born on Tython to a a single mother Jedi Knight under the name Kraalig, Mahress learned from birth the teachings of the Jedi and the light side of the force, it was around his tenth birthday when Mahress began his lust for power and interest in the dark side of the force.

Unknown to the Jedi Order, Mahress' mother Kraalig was resentful over her pregnancy, embarrassed of the scandal that would see her never made a master of the order.

She would often abuse Mahress mentally and physically, allowing him to focus his anger towards her and the order until one fateful day when Mahress snapped, killing his fellow group of Padawans as well as his mother in a blind rage, fearful of the repercussions he attempted to flee the planet until being discovered by an undercover Imperial Intelligence agent who escorted him back to the Empire for further training. Mahress then traveled to Korriban to truly learn under the ways of the dark side becoming a renowned student attracting the eyes of many Sith Lords.

Mahress soon left the academy after years of studying and began training under the wing of multiple sith such as Darth Malgus and Vowrawn. It was here where Mahress played parts in great Imperial Victories on planet's such as Hoth and Serenno, even fighting during the sacking of Coruscant.

After all his service Mahress was given the title Darth and continued to serve the Empire by commanding large quantities of the Imperial Navy, even leading the sacking of Tython in which he personally decapitated the Jedi Master guarding the Jedi Temple.

Powers and Abilities
Mahress is an expert Lightsaber duelist being able to outmatch most of his opponents through sheer force alone, the reason for this is because of his strength, size and durability. That alongside his years of training with both the Light and Dark side of the force allows Mahress a vast advantage over his typical Jedi and Sith alike. Mahress is also talented with the abilities Force Choke, Saber Throw, Force Lightning and Force Push which when paired with his natural brute strength and duelling capabilities, gives Mahress a tremendous advantage in a fight.

Sith Preservation
After the death of his original master Malgus and assassination of the sith Emperor, Mahress started his plans of mutiny, to take as much of the Imperial forces as he could and seize power over the Galaxy. It was here Mahress met a force known as the Sith Preservation, who promised to preserve the Sith's power and control over it's territories and Mahress, without question joined the Guild hoping to bring back fear and honor to the Empire.

It was here Mahress bent his knee once more to a new more powerful master of the preservation's Council Darth Plaugis and begin a crusade against the Jedi once more.

After proving his worth and power(and also donated 70 million credits), Mahress was released from the apprenticeship and made an Architect for the guild. Soon Mahress would surpass his Master in strength and began leading attacks for the preservation all over the galaxy as 'The Protector Of The Preservation' becoming a shining beacon for all Skank Tanks in SWTOR.

Mahress served as an Architect in the Sith Preservation until his disappearance in 3631 BBY a week before the Zakuul Invasion of the known galaxy. Unknown to the Preservation or the Empire, Mahress had felt Vitiate's (Valkorian) return in the force and had seen the future invasion of the galaxy within his dreams, rather than face the devastation head on, Mahress faked his death abandoning the Preservation as well as Nexuth, stealing a Harrower Class Imperial Dreadnought as well as a few escort ships.

With his own loyal crew and followers amassed Mahress then fled into deep space exiling himself to harness his own power for the future fight against the Zakuulian Empire...

Although his whereabouts remain unknown, select members of both the Sith Empire and The Sith Preservation have claimed to have witnessed Darth Mahress's Dreadnaught The Invictus Bastion roaming around the outer rim of the galaxy, attacking known Zakuulian and Republic bases alike.

Apprentices
Mahress has trained 4 apprentices within the preservation: Reesith, Tnailav, Navary and Medobrundo. All of whom were serving alongside him in the Section For Protection Of The Preservation.

Upon his disappearance, Mahress found his true student in a fellow Darth named Thraaxon. Originally sent to assassinate Mahress by imperial command, Thraaxon duelled with the Dark Lord to a bloody stalemate with both Mahress and Thraaxon managing to landing crippling attacks on each other. Further impressed by Thraaxons ruthless nature, Mahress spared him death and offered to train the young Darth to be a true Lord of the Sith. With Thraaxon now in allegence to Darth Mahress the two soon found much mutual respect for each other and formed their own faction in the Galaxy, focused on maintaining order through the dark side and safe guarding the empire itself... they called themselves the Legion Of Shadows.
