Dalien Brock Dalien Brock was a male Human born of two Je ' daii Master s , who reluctantly trained as a Je ' daii Journeyer of the Je ' daii Order with his sister , Lanoree , before fleeing after having killed Skott Yun , another Journeyer . After faking his death , he joined and led a sect of the Stargazer cult , a cabal of fanatics dedicated to finding a way to leave Tython system and to reach the stars of their ancestors by any means . Biography . Early life . The youngest child of Je ' daii Master Brock and his wife , Dalien Brock grew up on Tython with his sister Lanoree at the Temple of Arts , Bodhi . As with his sister , Dalien was expected to follow in his parent ' s footsteps and become a Je ' daii . Because their parents were instructors at the Temple , he and his sister were encouraged to express themselves through art , and in his childhood , Dalien was particularly fond of drawing and painting . Unlike his sister , however , Dalien displayed no affinity for the Force . Whenever his family visited the Edge Forest to bask in the Force energies of the teeming life around them , the young Dalien would burst into tears , unable to share in his family ' s bliss . His sense of alienation grew from grief to bitterness , and by his adolescence , he had began to shun the Force , reacting furiously whenever his sister sought to connect with his mind telepathically . Instead , he turned to history , studying the ancient cultures of Tython and pondering the stars . His mother found this concerning , worried that it will lead him to a destiny away from Tython . During his childhood , his grandfather passed down a well - used blaster pistol , a weapon that he would cherish and hold on to throughout his life . When he came of age , he joined his sister at Padawan Kesh to study the ways of the Force before setting out on their Great Journey together . . Great Journey . Reaching adolescence , Dalien set out with his older sister away from Bodhi on foot to begin their Great Journey . The pair traveled first to Qigong Kesh , the Temple of Force Skills , surviving encounters with hook hawk s and silik lizard s along the way . There , they trained under Master Ter ' cay , who took them to the Silent Desert , using Force telepathy to communicate with the pair , though Dalien was unable to hear Ter ' cay in the Force . Traveling next to Stav Kesh , the Temple of Martial Arts , they were attacked by a flame tygah . Dalien attacked the creature himself with his blaster pistol without any reliance on the Force , causing his sister to intervene when his blaster misfired . Arriving at Stav Kesh with burns from the assault , the two trained with Master Tave , first learning about breathing and its importance to fighting . Throughout their training , Dalien continued to retreat from the Force despite his sister ' s attempts to promote its use . When he successfully landed a strike on Tave without using the Force , his sister attempted to warn him that Tave had allowed it to instill confidence , not because the Force was weak . In one incident , when Master Kin ' ade led a training session that required the Journeyers to fight while deprived of their physical senses against the Darrow sphere , Dalien ended up shooting wildly with his blaster , injuring his sister and putting other Journeyers in danger , before he was knocked unconscious by Kin ' ade . After the incident , Kin ' ade and the Brocks were all asked to give their accounts of the event to Temple Master Lha - Mi . Dalien claimed to only have failed in his best efforts to allow the Force to guide his aim . While Lha - Mi concluded to the group that Dalien had only been reckless in his enthusiasm , he privately warned Lanoree of the deep - seated darkness lurking within her brother . On their last day at Stav Kesh , a group of Journeyers , including the Brocks , were asked to fight one other . Dalien thought he had beat his sister but was ultimately knocked back with a Force punch , ending the fight . Before their departure , Lha - Mi reiterated his warning to Lanoree to be wary of her brother ' s increasing instability and the danger he could pose . The Brocks then traveled to Anil Kesh , the Temple of Science , growing further apart with every step . Along the way , they crossed the Moon Channel unescorted , working together to survive attacks by a gelfish swarm and a sea serpent . Upon arrival at the Temple , Dalien relished the fact that his sister felt sick due to the Force Storms caused by the Chasm , which lay beneath the temple . While Lanoree studied at the Temple , Dalien went to the Riftlands with Master Quan - Jang and nine other Journeyers to retrieve samples for the laboratories . However , Dalien fled into the Abyss of Ruh , forcing Master Quan - Jang and other Je ' daii to give chase and retrieve him . Returning to Anil Kesh , Dalien confronted his sister and another Journeyer , Skott Yun . Yun attempted to arrest Dalien , but the disillusioned young man shot and killed Yun and escaped . His sister in hot pursuit , Dalien fled across the Red Desert and into the Old City where he faked his own death in the depths below the ancient city . Lanoree found only his bloodied , shredded clothes , leading her and the Je ' daii to believe Dalien had been killed , just as he had hoped . Stargazers . Escaping off Tython , Dalien laid low for the next nine years , slowly becoming obsessed with escaping from the Tython system until it consumed his mind . Blocking out the Force completely so that only a void filled his heart , Dalien became involved with a little known group known as the Stargazers led secretly by some of the system ' s most elite business leaders and philanthropists . Hoping to accelerate their plans to leave the system , the Stargazers worked behind the scenes , pulling strings so that Dakueb would be the public leader of a sect of Stargazers using Gree schematics to activate a legendary hypergate rumored to exist in the Old City . Using the diary of Osamael Or for direction , Dalien and his cabal set in motion a plan to create a device that would charge the hypergate so that they could leave Tython . When a member of the Stargazer leadership , Kara leaked information to the Je ' daii about Dalien ' s plans , the Je ' daii Council dispatched Lanoree Brock to hunt him down and end the threat . Dalien and his sect were operating out of a Dai Bendu temple in the city of Khar on Kalimahr when Kara informed him that his sister was investigating him . Rushing to action , Dalien and his sycophants abandoned the temple and fled to Nox , leaving a bomb behind in hopes of killing Lanoree . Despite his attempts to end Lanoree ' s hunt , Dalien was tracked to Nox , and with the help of the crimelord Maxhagan , Dalien was discovered once more . While deep within the bowels of the secret laboratories of Pan Deep , Dalien was reunited with his sister as the device for activating the hypergate had been completed . Dalien was unwilling to kill his sister , so he left Pan Deep with the Stargazers , leaving one Cathar Stargazer behind to kill his Je ' daii sister . Though a distraction from Sana allowed Lanoree to blind the Cathar , the pair only narrowly survive the Cathar ' s suicide bomb . Not realizing Lanoree had left a tracking device on his boot , Dalien was followed to Ran Dan ' s Folly , a small mining output on Sunspot , where Dalien planned to charge the device in preparation for the hypergate . Though Lanoree attempted to intervene , she was unable to stop Dalien from charging his device with a marionium cube . Before departing again , Dalien shot his sister in the chest , leaving her for dead as he left for Tython . Arriving on Tython during a massive Force Storm , Dalien ' s Stargazers lost control of the ship and crashed thirty kilometers from the Old City . Despite these setbacks , Dalien delved down into the labyrinth of caves below the city until he located the hypergate and prepared to activate it . Before he could do so , Dalien was interrupted by his sister , who attempted to stop him by pushing a memory of them together in their childhood into his mind , followed by images of the horrors she had witnessed from Nox , Sunspot , and Tython during her pursuit . Tormented by these images , Dalien screamed in agony , giving his sister the chance to Force push him backwards . Even as he gradually recovered , Lanoree believed that he was defeated and expected him to flee . Instead of running , Dalien attacked Lanoree in a frenzy , throwing a blade into her palm and hitting her repeatedly . However , even with one hand wounded , his sister could not be defeated . With her sword and the aid of the Force , she expertly defended against all attacks he threw at her . At last Dalien threw a knife at her face , which she deflected with the Force . Hoping that this diversion would give him the window to activate the device , Dalien leaped at the it , a motion that forced Lanoree to kill him . She struck off his right arm and lodged her blade in his skull . Sensing his death , Lanoree left Dalien ' s corpse in the cavern as she returned to Anil Kesh . When Je ' daii Master Kin ' ade returned to retrieve it , Dalien ' s body had vanished without a trace . Personality and traits . The estrangement that Dalien felt from his family due to his inability to connect with the Force became a driving force for his convictions throughout his life . As a child , he initially expressed his pain through tearful outbursts , but as he grew to adolescence , his sorrow morphed into resentment as he increasingly came to shun the Force altogether . To him , the Force was the catalyst of his isolation , but in rejecting it , he gradually became even more and more distanced from his family that were disappointed in his low affinity for the Force . In his melancholy , he found solace in artistic expression , and he drew within himself and dreamed extensively of carving his own destiny free from the Force and an escape beyond the stars . In this light , he became highly individualistic , priding himself on being his own man . His rejection of the Force became severe in adolescence , dismissing even praise from Je ' daii Masters and scorning all reference to the Force . Whenever Lanoree or any Je ' daii used the Force to touch his mind , even to express sympathy , he reacted with utter revulsion . He relished the other Journeyers ' discomfort at the Chasm and believed that unlike him , the Je ' daii could not be their own masters , since they served the Force and were bound by it . Instead of seeking the Force , he turned to the stars , with his ultimate ambition being to leave the system . What he regarded as Je ' daii enslavement to the Force , he contrasted against his great sense of independence , which was so paramount to him that he reproached Lanoree for saving his life against a flame tygah , preferring to die self - reliant than live with the help of another . Nine years after faking his death , his sister Lanoree Brock noted that he grown taller and thinner , and that his child ' s melancholy had transformed into adult bitterness . By then , his hair was speckled gray and he bore a scar on his left cheek , but did nothing about these due to his dedication to reactivating the hypergate . Power and abilities . Though Dalien could not command the Force , his sister noted that his skills had always been in combat . During his Great Journey , he was capable of using Alchaka techniques in combat . In his mortal duel with his sister , he demonstrated tact in exploiting her wounded hand , kicking the knife deeper into her palm and repeatedly targeting it to keep her on the defensive . He was capable of throwing knives with precision , but ultimately , his martial aptitude was not enough to defeat a Je ' daii who had the full command of the Force by her side .
