Darth Argehar

Overview
"I'm not keen on just killing people simply because they got in the way. I only do it, when it's obvious I cannot take another path." - Argehar to his friend

Darth Argehar is a member of Sith Order and one of the Sith Preservation's Architects, responsible for recruiting and training new Force-sensitive members for the organization.

Background
Argehar was born on Balmorra in 3656 BBY and lived a peaceful life there until the age of six. Then, the Sith Empire raided the local settlement he was living in with his family. During the raid both of his parents were executed, as Empire troopers thought that locals were hiding supplies for Republic soldiers. Argehar managed to escape, as he unexpectedly paved his way out with the uncontrolled Force outburst. Unlucky for him, he stumbled upon another Imperial patrol outside the settlement, including a Sith Lord. The Sith felt the boy's anger and despair, along with his faint attunement to the Force. He decided, Argehar will be send to Korriban, so he could be trained in the dark ways.

For the next few years, Argehar was being constantly pushed to his limits, forced to train harder, learn faster and to kill without a second thought. Though young acolyte tried to oppose at first, he quickly found out that either he will go along and commit himself to the Order or he will die, cause there was no room for failure at the Sith Academy. With every day he grew more in strength, honing his abilities to the level his extraordinary results caught the eye of one of the Dark Council members, Darth Naraxas. Naraxas carefully watched as the Argehar's attitude was slowly changing, as the ways of killing and war became like second nature to the young boy. Then, the powerful Sith decided to take Argehar as his new apprentice, thus letting him finally leave Korriban at the age of 16 and serve the Sith Order as he was supposed to.

After his leave, Argehar continued to fulfill his master's will, along with occasionally taking orders from the other Sith. Through the years, Argehar participated in many most complex and challenging war operations, spending much of his time on the battlefield. His dedication and help during the infamous Battle of Ashfall Pass in 3637 BBY granted him the title of the Sith Lord. For the next few years, during the period of rising tensions between Empire and Republic, Lord Argehar fought alongside Imperial forces located in the Outer Rim. After the invasion on Ossus he fully returned to the reformed Empire and continued to serve the Sith Order, leading his own small military team during various missions. In 3627 BBY his continuous work for the Imperial cause and his growing power base got Argehar recognized formally as a Darth, although some among the Sith may still say that he just has some friends in high places.

For his contribution to Sith Preservation's cause and the enormous effort he put into rebuilding Preservation's ranks after the Ashfall crisis Darth Jemorri welcomed Argehar into the Council of Architects.

Personality
Eager to fight and always ready for some action, Argehar may seem like reckless and impulsive man at first. He has a long history of anger management setbacks which often caused him a lot of trouble.

Despite this fact, he highly values and respects both his friends and subordinates alike and their lives always come first in his book. Even if he finds himself in a disagreement with one of them, he will always try to take a middle path before moving onto asserting his authority in any other way, violent or not.

Argehar is deadly and determined. Man of duty, commitment and with a personal code of honor. A leader who never wished to be one, but seems to inspire loyalty in men and women under his command.

Skills and abilities
Being really proud of his fighting skills, Argehar favours Form II for lightsaber combat, though for more challenging and serious battles he could be seen using Form IV. Though he's familiar with most of Dark Side common Force techniques, he'd rather utilize his own physical abilities than trusting that the Force itself could be enough to turn the tides of a fight.

Given the fact that he had a lot of time recovering and examining ancient bits of Sith culture, it's not surprising that he can decipher some of the Old Language writings. The time he spent in various Nar Shaddaa's suspicious casinos gave him an excellent lesson in Huttese, too, but he'd never admit it.
