Slightly heavier than most lightsaber hilts it still is capable of agile movement, but the weight and body of the blade is meant to supplement and fortify the power behind swings. Wrapped in a dark rubber gripping this hilt is designed for the user of Forms III and V expressing control and strength to either attack or defense. The pommel is fitted with brass colored notches, as is the ring coned guard that envelops the blade emitter, ensuring the blade hand does not slip forward on to the blade. As well the emitter is circuited for a dual-phase function. Taking both top and bottom grip of the hilt with a counter clockwise twist top and a clockwise twist bottom this will engage the lengthened alignment of the emitter. In turn the blade will form a max length of two meters, which is commonly used as a method of surprise, but as well supplement to lightsaber dueling. To reverse this all one must do is twist back in reverse till the emitter clicks. This lightsaber has a surprisingly robust blade color not commonly found. Thanks to the impurities of a particular Dantari crystal the blade emitted is neither red nor violet, but is embraced somewhere between, it is a warm welcoming hue that burns a hearty maroon color. As a benefit to the Eralam and Velmorite crystals set in the power sockets the blade formed is a clear and thin blade. This allows the user to create agile but strikes counteracting the weight of the hilt. It is a medium that has overtime been designed to accommodate the philosophies of Form II without sacrificing power or control to do so. The activation switch of the blade is secluded in a thumbed notch behind the blade guard creating speed and accessibility of draw and sheathing.

A youthful complexion and an olive skin tone are attributed to his Beast-rider heritage, and his striking regal characteristics, ala defined jaw line and strong brow ridge, come from a noble Onderonian heritage on his mothers side. In appearance when clean shaven and proper he is regal and authoritative in presence. Both his height and the defined expression in his face denote command. Never has he wore his hair short except for in his Padawan days, and often has the dark brown almost black length tied back, or let simply free to hang. While the exact length of his hair has changed over the years, he often never goes higher nor lowers than shoulder length. Naturally this hair is wavy and when bordering the sides of his face accentuates the distinct green color of his eyes. In his prime Avan was a promising Knight of the Jedi and an imposing Master under Revans order. Always dressed in robes of varying styles they were always slimmed to his fit form, and as it was later in his time he wore darker robes, as well adapting nontraditional paraphernalia such as slacks and tunics beneath them. However after the war and his subsequent defeat by Malak his body suffered considerable damage, his moral deteriorated, as well over time after his physical fitness while respectable paled to that when he served Revan in the wars. Avans hair became shaggy and he grew a graying beard which showed his considerable aging after his conflict. Overtime he has also experienced many scars and markings upon his body ranging from glancing strikes from a lightsaber, environmental mishaps, even the imprints of Pelko bug barbs along his spine. These marks all tell their own story and range according to timeframe. It is known he has at least one Beast-rider heritage tattoo over his left breast. PERSONALITY Description A man who had experienced the Mandalorian Wars first hand and the Jedi Civil War on both sides, Avan Krios Exellius was of those Jedi that followed Revan into battle. Before this Avan had always been a strong personality in the order. Often willful and dedicated to the struggle of the people and Order he held tenuous if respected relationship with the Jedi Council. He often believed on acting on intuition and had been reliant his gift of foresight. As a padawan he was a reserved individual but when he experienced the battle with the remnant of Krath Cultists. Ever since that experience he had interpreted violence in a more proactive method. Some Jedi argued that it was an innate desire for battle that drove him to follow Revan, but largely that was untrue as the catalyst was evidence of injustice against the Cathar and Outer Rim colonies. In his prime as a Jedi he was described as loyal, humorous, and dauntless. He was one of the Orders burgeoning Battlemasters during the years preceding the Mandalorian Wars and during. Before joining Revan he was even being considered for acceptance as a Master of the Order. Avans dedication to the Order could not be questioned as he groomed four promising Jedi since his Knighthood. As a teacher he was a compassionate but strict mentor, as his methods were considered gruelingly intense. It was Avans belief experience would groom both wisdom and temperance to balance out the routine study of the Order. As well he spoke highly of a trust in the Force over absolution or dogma that he believed were afflictions of corruption born out of fear. While during his time as a Jedi hed never been considered a Gray Member of the Order he held beliefs that would inevitably lead to his separation following the Mandalorian Wars. He disagreed with the rules against attachment, believing friendships and love served as a root of strength. In turn he married to a Republic Officer during the War resulting in a child. During that time he also reinterpreted the code more liberally. Avan considered the root of the Darkside of the Force in powers whether it was the intent, or simply action of the power itself, in the end he falsely believed it to be only intent as inspired by Revan. In his fall and turning from the Order he became a Dark Jedi Master developing a more emotional man. Having seen the ravages of war and the resulting tragedies following the destruction of Malachor V he was a different man. The dauntless hero of the Republic had tasted a first sensation of fear, and the intuition and visions that had guided him in the past turned into waking nightmares. Ever conscious to change the outcomes Avan eventually detached from his family after envisioning their death resulting by their proximity to him. Never embracing the title of Sith he still acted as a lead enforcer and field commander under Revans empire. During this time he inspired a legacy of fear and intimidation against his enemies, as he embraced his more negative emotions such as anger and sadness. Eventually this led to a broken man filled with regret and a reconsideration of his path. Unable to come to terms with his actions, and his own emotions after the Civil War he turned from the Galaxy all together. HISTORY HISTORY 3,999 - 3,981 BBY Great Sith War and After Avan was the force-sensitive child of a female Onderonian Noble and a male member of the Beast-riders. His mother sent him with the Jedi after the Second Battle of Onderon offworld, leaving only a few people and later Avan himself knowing of his true heritage. It wasnt often that Force-users were either orphaned or adopted by members of the Jedi Order, and thus the young boy was taken to Dantooine. Here he was raised by members of the Order with other children stranded by the Great Sith War until they were old enough to be taught at the Enclave. At that point he lived in the Enclave with the rest of the Jedi and their students. During the Fourth Battle of Onderon in 3,996 BBY the Noble House of Leto was massacred on their estate in Iziz. Because of the confusion of the crisis it is assumed that they were murdered by Mandalorians in the midst of the battle. Of the casualties Avans mother Dahlia Leto was one of them. His father Karn Exellius would also parish in the battle with the Mandalorian Crusaders crushed by a Basilisk war-droid. By the end of the Great Hunt in 3,993 BBY Avan entered the age of Initiate training. Several years later hed show exceptional promise, and had been taken as a Padawan by a HoDin Jedi Knight Kophi Gru. At the age of twelve Avan experiences the Galaxy at large with his master. On a diplomatic mission to Onderon the two Jedi intercept the Remnant of the Krath attempting to abduct the Queens daughter Talia. In the midst of the clash between Cultist, guards, and the Jedi their leader is revealed to be the Noble Patriarch Bannon Leto, Avans maternal cousin and the man responsible for the death of his mother. The young Padawan embraces the pulse of battle developing a natural precognitive ability allowing him and his master to push back the cultists. In the intervening year both Jedi chase the Cultists across the Galaxy until a final confrontation upon Vjun. Bannon had falsely expected the aid of a splinter group of force-users Mecrossa for help, but the moment the Jedi arrived in numbers he was left deprived of the aid. Avan shows promise of the Jedi he would eventually become when dueling his cousin to a cliff edge, and offers Bannon a chance to surrender, but instead the Krath disciple throws himself into the Acidic Lake below. Newly turned thirteen at the end of this engagement both Kophi and Avan are present during the Conclave on Exis Station 3,986 BBY. Excelling in his training five years later Avan returns to Dantooine where he takes the Jedi Trials for Knighthood. Upon passing he is given honors by the council, and his then former master Kophi, as he is accepted as an acting member of the order. 3,980 - 3,964 BBY Jedi Restoration Period The years that preceded the inevitable clash of the Mandalorian Wars are filled with many experiences for Avan. In a span of sixteen years the Jedi Knight Avan Exellius trains four apprentices to Knighthood. Carving his own legacy he also is and a supporter of Revan and Malak during this period. It is known for a short period he was an instructor at the Dantooine Enclave, as well he served a missionary status in the Outer Rim towards the end. Avan is present providing aid to the Republic Forces encountering skirmishes with the resurgent Mandalorians prior to being barred by the Council from being involved. Exellius is withdrawn from the frontlines while the Council assesses the conflict, but also consider the dedicated Knight for ascension to Master, and potentially a seat on the council. Avan does not feel his skills serve the Force nor the Order in this position and declines the offer of a seat on Coruscant. 3,963 - 3,960 BBY Mandalorian Wars In the end Avan is incited into action before the Council can come to a decision as reports of the Mandalorians attack upon Onderon. Not wishing to sit and wait he joined with Revan and his Jedi on Cathar where the truth of native Genocide by the Neo-Crusaders was brought to light. He revokes the ascension to Master and follows Revanchists to war. His recently knighted Apprentice a Zabrak Janus Min does not stand with him, heeding the advisement of the council. Janus is unable to convince Avan against his actions and they depart upon different paths. This is the start of the joint Republic and Jedi counter offensive, thus beginning the sway of the war. During this time frame Avan becomes intimate with a Republic Officer Valora Darkath. Eventually they marry at some point in the interim and Valora become pregnant with his child which she gives birth to on Denon. Because of the rampant pace of the war and the dire stakes involved Avan is never able to hold his son Davriss, and is only able see him through holo-recordings. The stress of this war births a more aggressive minded Jedi. It is known that he participated in the Battle of Eres III with Jedi General Meetra Surik, and witnessed the burning of the Xoxin Plains. Avan also leads the counterstrike against the Mandalorians in the Stenos System marking a Republic Victory. He is present with a compliment of Jedi to aid Revan and Meetra on Dxun, and subsequently holds a Republic Outpost engaging the eventual strike on Onderon working closely with the Onderonian General Vaklu to push back the Neo-Crusaders. He was not present on Malachor V during the events that gave birth to the Exile. However the resulting dark schism in the Force created by the Mass Shadow Generator was felt as far as the Japrael Sector. The corrupting influence and visions drove the Jedi Knight Avan Exellius into a furor, as he ordered his Jedi to slaughter the disarmed Mandalorian prisoners of war. This was the beginning of his fall. Conflicted by his actions and desires he eschews his guilt justifying the massacre as a price of war, in turn he follows Revan and Malak into the Unknown Regions. Avan does not contact his wife leaving her to believe the worst. 3,959 - 3,956 BBY Jedi Civil War While not crucial part of the construction of Revan and Malaks Sith Empire, Avan is rewarded for his loyalty and skill displayed in the war. Though never taking the title of Sith himself he is denoted as an acting Field Commander and deemed a Dark Jedi Master. In the initial strike against the Republic, Avan, only leads two of the successful battles in the beginning of the war, first against Roche and then second against Axxila. For reason unknown the Dark Jedi Master is removed from the field and commanded to recruit and turn more Jedi and force-sensitives to their cause. This order came directly from Malak. The result of this order became nothing more than a personal Jedi hunt as only a fraction of those Jedi he encountered submitted. He would also come into conflict with his former apprentice Janus Min when scouring the remains of the Jedi Tower on Taris. Min is able to relate to Avans conscience and inflicts moral confliction upon his former master using his family and the tragedy of Malachor V, and in this moment doubt extinguishes the Dark Jedis blind rage. Because of this Avan feeling sorrow lets Min to escape with a dismembered arm and minor lacerations. Loyalty would become questions as rumors of his action rose up the chain of command. His actions were gravely limited in the rest of the engagement, as he wrestled with idea of what he stood for before the wars and the atrocities he committed in them as well after. Avan is present during Malaks usurping of the Mantle of the Dark Lord. With Revan having died or so he believed the Dark Jedis resolution was found as he felt his call for atonement for his crimes. Avan would not return to the Order not they would take him back, but he would come into contact with Janus and a few Knights that served under him, but did not follow him into the Wars. Promising to turn himself into the Jedi custody Malak was killed the small group of five forged a secret strike force. Utilizing the trust some the soldiers and the governor of Korriban had in him Avan was able to bring the Jedi onto the planet unsuspected. Dressed like potential acolytes readied for assessment to be broken by the Sith Masters their guise was seemingly successful. Avan consumed in vengeance had sought to strike at Malak as he prepared to bring the capital under his unified order, but it was not what fate had in store for the former Jedi, a Cathar Jedi Zanth a member of the group had previously defected, and in turn had been reporting to the Dark Lord. Malak had sought to make an example of Avan sending the Tukata hounds upon the group. It was a grueling battle as even with a single arm Janus proved he could hold his own expressing a mastery of Makashi, he disarmed Zanth by cutting away both his hands at the wrist, in turn Avan and the two other Knights sought out to slay the Tukata. It was far more difficult than thought as one was gravely wounded as a gaping maw of one of the maws tore into his side. Assessing the cost of the battle Avan knew none of them would survive if they pushed forward, and gave Janus the order to retreat despite his insistence to stay. A single forceful push throws the surviving Jedi out of the temple. Avan took the attack straight on upon the Malak leaping over the hounds and engaged in a direct duel with the Dark Lord and his guards. He had already known how this would play out, even so he prolonged the fight as long as he could to give Janus and the others time to escape. Eventually Malak becomes tired by the fight and unleashes a powerful current of lightning upon Avan inevitably crippling him sustaining the victory. The Dark Lord thought it appropriate to leave the broken man alive to witness the Sith forces enclose upon Janus and his Knights. With their deaths Malak would order the guards to drag the Dark Jedi to the Pelko Pits and trap him in. This was intended to be death. For must as these carnivorous insects cleaned the flesh off of any prey in their vicinity. Avan was barely hanging on to his life embracing the force he pulled through, as the Pelko bugs swarmed over his body stabbing their barbs into his back, and pushed past the physical subjugating the weak mind of these insects. After hours of pain and agony Avan survived demoralized with his will completely sapped, using his raw power to subjugate he used a Sith shuttle to escape the planet of Korriban. For the time remaining of the Civil war with the return of Revan, the defeat of Malak, the destruction of the Star Forge Avan was nowhere to be seen. Even as the remaining Sith Lords vie for control of the weakened power he is not present. It is believed weighted with guilt of his mistakes he wandered across the Outer Rim, simply to disappear. Much like Ulic Qel-Droma before him the once Jedi, Avan Exellius, entered a self-imposed exile. 3,956 BBY - ??? Sith Civil War, Dark Wars It is believed during campaign to purge the Galaxy of Jedi that Avan Exellius was known to have survived, and was a target of the assassins.
