Master Terrogate

REPUTATION
The broad shouldered Catharian warrior, Terrogate is known to be adventurous, ambitious and at times a little too fast to act before thinking.
BIOGRAPHY:
Early life
Terrogate was born Jaja Dekè in the year 3998 BBY on his ancestral homeworld of Cathar. He was one of a litter of 5. His father was a Catharian Predator class Warrior and one of the finest in the army helping his kingdom almost triple in size via domination over neighbouring tribes and Tree Cities. After retirement he took up work as a common hunter and often took his children out regularly to hunt for food. Terrogate showed considerable ability in the hunt and was the pride of his father amongst all the family. His father seeing himself in his son nurtured his abilities and taught him the way of the Predator warrior, he was determined to have his son’s own stories etched next to his tales of victory in their cities home tree for all future Cathar to see. 
By the age of 19 Terrogate was a master tracker, highly skilled in 1 on 1 combat and had surpassed even his father in his ability with the honour sword and the war stick. His large size and lightning fast reflexes made him a formidable opponent even at that young age and would help his local Elders in fighting off packs of predators and even helped his father take down a Giant horned hopper that was eating the local farmers livestock. 
Despite being an effective game hunter Terrogate had no desire to do it professionally, against his mother’s wishes and with the silent approval of his father in 3978 BBY at the age of 20 he underwent the sacred ritual of the Cathar male Warrior, the Blood Hunt. Each aspiring warrior's name was put into a ballot to be allocated an area of Cathar to cleanse the earth of the Kiltik Beatles that devoured the native planets forests. The prize for surviving and completing the hunt earned the Warrior prestige with the Kingdoms Grand General Tanner Grekkin. Terrogate planned to seize this opportunity. 
He was given his area via holopad which was never to be shared before the hunt. Standing, he looked at his father who inclined his head to his son, no words needed to be spoken, he would make his father proud. Kissing his mother goodbye he went out to prove his worth.
Terrogate returned 3 months and 5 days later, fur matted with dirt and blood and a small part of his left ear was missing. His father and the City Elder meet him at the foot of the home tree. He carries a large sack on his back, exhausted he drops the sack to his father's feet.. out spills hundreds of antennae. Some complete and torn by the roots still moist with blood and plasma, some bent and broken with pieces of cartilage twisted and splintered protruding the joints and breaks, others incomplete and obviously cut clean by a weapon. 
Terrogate had been selected to cleanse the Vast Veldt... a vast grassland of Cathar overrun with Kiltik but also home to the insect colonies queen. He had destroyed an entire colony and also its queen which was an unprecedented Hunt in thousands of years of the ritual! In his report Terrogate had at great mortal risk fought his way past the many regular worker Kiltik, no less than two dozen giant warrior Kiltik stationed outside the colonies entrance, through the underground tunnels and into the main colony chamber where the queen and hundreds of Kiltik had retreated to make a final stand. It seemed as if they could sense him coming, sensed his presence, his intent, and they had retreated inside their underground lair. As Terrogate entered the birthing chamber the giant Queen let out a scratching clicking sound and the insects charged him. Terrogate, fearing the worst and with impending doom closing in , almost as if a second instinct had acted for him he closed his eyes and pushed out.. not with his mussels or his weapon, but with his mind..  
To his surprise the wave of claws and pincers didn’t wash over him , tearing him apart as he had expected... he opened his eyes and saw the Kiltik had halted, stopped in their tracks... something was stopping them..
Not waiting to find out what it was Terrogate started hacking and slashing at the giant beetles with his dual edged war stick. He heard the Queen make the same sound but louder this time, but still .. no response from the Kiltik.. As he fought his rage grew, he became faster, he became stronger, no longer tired but energised and full of fury.. to his surprise the Kiltik had now started turning on earth other, tearing themselves apart. The queen he saw, had been besieged by her own children as they swarmed over her biting and clawing, she disappeared under the wave of writhing black shells and Terrogate knew his victory was now a certainty. The words of his father ringing in his mind from one of his early lessons hunting , “cut off the head and the body will fail”. 
His victory was indeed noticed by the Grand General and Terrogate was put into the employ of the Prince himself as a personal bodyguard. For years he served with unquestioned loyalty, due to his size and combat abilities he also was often sent on other missions to quell local quarrels or take care of pirate gangs and smuggling rings. If the Prince was officially the hand of the king then Terrogate was the claws ready to engage and defend at a moments notice. The prince also made use of Terrogates other abilities and would send him to question and interrogate captured gangsters and corrupt officials. It is said that no one could remove blood from a stone, unless your name was Jaja Dekè that is. He was good at his job and he was rewarded well for it. 
Battle of Cathar 
Sometime shortly after his 25th birth month in the year 3973 BBY a great army of Mandalorians led by Mandalore the Ultimate, attacked the planet unannounced and unprovoked. Cities burned to ash, millions of Catharians dead.. it was a Genocide. Basilisk war mounts and Neo Crusaders making an example of his people for past wars long ago. Calls for aid from the Galactic republic went unnoticed, his people burning , dying and their republic does nothing! Their defenders, the Jedi with their morals and oaths to defend peace and the people did nothing! A fire burned in his heart... images of his fathers home up in flames as he battles the Mandalorian invaders in the jungles.. but in vein , no matter how many he kills their ranks seem endless and their hatred matching his own for his supposed saviours that have abandoned him and his people to die.
Escape from Cathar:
4months passed: As Terrogate boards one of the remaining shuttles, he hears distant cry’s... his people rounded up and executed, as the invader they called Cassus had ordered over the enemy com channels... Terrogates shoulder is wounded, his Prince lies close to death in the cargo dock, another of his security detail next to him... slumped... bleeding out..  the only other escape shuttle in 100 miles , the sister to the princes one has now been boarded , a local merchant , wife and his daughter Juhani , still only an infant are the last to board as it fires up and takes off to Taris, the arranged meeting place for survivors. There is no one left , the others that were supposed to meet them have not arrived and their coms have been static for hours. He must not delay if he is to save the Prince, his responsibility but also his friend and mentor for the last 5 years , he who had bravely stayed till the end , till all hope was gone before agreeing to leave. A warrior in his heart, like his own. 
Seeing the sister shuttle leave the orbit he closes the cargo hold doors, moves the prince bleeding and semi-conscious into the cockpit and sits him upright in the co-pilot seat...Terrogate straps into the pilot chair and takes off. 
The launch is smooth but visibility is low amongst the blackened sky and thick smoke of a burning Cathar below them... their speed is adequate , they are through the atmosphere , through the known gap in the Mandalorian blockade just as the Royal security commander predicted and just as Terrogate is about to make the jump to lightspeed their ship is hit! a missile has hit the main thrusters , sensors beep and lights flash as the shuttle jolts about violently forcing Terrogates head to smack into the overhead controls and all goes black.. Terrogate awakes some time later, he licks his whiskers and tastes blood. His shoulder is throbbing and blood is running down the inside of his shirt and out onto his pants. He looks at the controls and tries to move the stick...  they are moving at speed, life supports are stable, but the navigation controls are fried, the shuttle has been knocked off course and travelling aimlessly through space, he looks across to the Prince, he is slumped forwards in his chair, blood dripping from his mouth and nose... he is not breathing.  Terrogate leans back into the pilot chair and utters a silent oath to himself..... The Jedi will pay! 
6 weeks later: Terrogate, weak and starving.... having resulted in cannibalisation of the Royal security guard 3 weeks prior and floated his Royal Prince into the great void of space to remove the temptation.. resigns to the fact he will not be found before he perished...  The transport has been floating through space aimlessly and all but life critical support power has been shut off. Slowly he moves to the back of the Prince's personal chamber and with his remaining strength pulls open a closed wall panel, revealing inside is a stasis hibernation capsule , just big enough for one full size Catharian. He swipes the keycard he found on the prince into the slot, the hatch opens and Terrogate climbs inside. He closes the lid and punishes the internals with his fist breaking the timer.... he closes his eyes.... and then darkness....... The Tale of Jaja Dekè 
Sith life
In 155ABY Terrogate finally got out of stasis and found his way to Korriban where he joined the Sith Academy. There he met apprentice Ammit Mandulis, who helped him get settled at the academy. Not long after his arrival and finding a home at house Feros (Tollere), the Cathar approached Knight Deleritas and boldly asked to take him on as an Apprentice, which he accepted. 
During his time at the academy he spent more and more time with Ammit, they had become close friends, but both began to develop feelings for one another. As relationships were forbidden they didn't admit their feelings for each other even though their relationship became more intimate. 
In 156ABY Terrogate was promoted by house leadership to Artifex. That same year the Cathar warrior became a Soldier of Venom for Tribune Noxia. During the Battlelord ritual on Weyland apprentice Terrogate bonded by blood, not only to the Tribune but to Knight Ammit as well, as she also participated. Not long after, Ammit was forced to leave her home on Prakith as it was claimed by Lord Nathemus. She asked Terrogate to help her build a new home on the forest world of Batorine. The Cathar agreed to help as their bond had only grew more strong. No longer the couple could deny their feelings nor could they hide it any longer, therefore they asked for the blessing of the Duumvirate. The Iktotchi Knight asked Terrogate to stay with her on Batorine, as a couple, as lifemates. Bathori of Batorine (Family Villa Build)
Their happiness was only for a short time, as at the end of that same year his lifemate was brutally punished for no reason other than being not Sith enough. Terrogate received an urgent message from Ammit's security droid, K-0R9, telling him that she had gone home to Prakith and she was dying. The Cathar traveled as quickly as he could to Prakith where he found what was left of Ammit. Her arm was missing her mind was broken. With her last strength she fought with Terrogate, refusing his help as she no longer wanted to live. But against her wishes he took her home and nursed her back to health.
But Ammit never recovered from what had happened, she had changed completely, and even called herself Mab from now on.
Terrogate struggled with the chances, his lifemate kept pushing him away but when she accepted to join him to the masked ball he had hope again that things would become better. But the morning after the Iktotchi told him she wanted to retire from the Empire. 
Terrogate remained active as he had established himself as a hard working and well respected low level sith in the Eternal Sith Empire. But the Empire began to crumble.
The civil war
Terrogate lived through the great civil war by way of luck, skill and also intuition. His early enrolments the initial conflict was in skirmishes and in defence of his Lord but once all seemed lost for his house Tollere he escaped aboard Roar-1 and retreated to his life partner's world of Batorine away from the front lines of the conflict and there he actively protected his family and moved their children to a more secure location. The Cathar assisted Mab in her Quest to find Tython.
Back to Cathar
Late 159ABY, when the children had returned, Terrogate got word that during the civil war, Cathar once again has been left unguarded by the Empire , receiving some old information he learns it was at one point deemed a front line system in the war. Still feeling the guilt of leaving the world at the mercy of Mandalore some 4000 years ago decided to return and if needed he would protect it. His 15 year old step son Kas’sparr stows away and finds himself along for the ride. 
They arrive to Cathar who had been taken over by a Synth confederacy named simply “The Syndicat” lead by one only known as the “Founder” 
They had killed all the force sensitives and all but enslaved the population while they stripped the world of resources to fund their future plans. Terrogate and Kas’sparr meet up with an underground resistance group but are followed and the Syndicate invade the resistance hideout killing many. They escape and are ambushed before leaving on Terrogates ship en route to the hidden Cathar temple near the capital city where the Founder had made the base of operations in the royal palace... Kas’sparr gets knocked out cold by a synth trooper before boarding. There they meet Faera, a temple priestess and Kas’sparr becomes infatuated with her. The remaining resistance forces gather over the next several days for a final assault on the Syndicates base.
While at the temple Terrogate receives a blessing from the mountain God during an ancient rite which now allows him to summon Cathar Smoke Snakes and talk to the mountain god. With the resistance he fights the Syndicate and wins, liberating the planet and is crowned its new ruler and king. The Liberation of Cathar 
The New Je'daii Order 
After securing his homeworld, Terrogate assists his lifemate with her Quest to find Tython. They traveled to Prakith where they discover more secrets from the past. A hidden tomb underneath Tower Bathori lead them to find Andeddu's Keep. Hoping to find clues to the location of Tython in the ancient Sith library they searched the entire fortress but without succes. 
When the warrior received a message from Cathar he had leave Mab behind. But when he finally returned, the Iktotchi had found the burial chamber of Andeddu. The couple worked together to unlock entrance and as they had hoped the final clue to Tython was indeed in the Dark lords collection.
They traveled to Tython where they began rebuilding the nine ancient temples. The New Je'daii Order began to flourish, word of the order had traveled across the galaxy and more joined. Terrogate begame Temple Master of Stav Kesh and head of the military. 
The Execution of a Master
Early 161 ABY after years of planning, Terrogate managed to capture Mab's former Master, bringing them to Batorine for justice. At first Mab was against it as she still felt loyal. But eventually she saw that they had to close the chapter for good and allowed Terrogate to end their life The Execution of Darth Skyllan. It was during this mission that Commander Amelia West who, along with Nova Midosea’s help as commander of the Darths ship The Harpy Battle Cruiser betrayed the dread lord and brought him drugged and paralysed to Terrogate on Batorine. For this, Terrogate gave her command and ownership of the Harpy. 
Battle of Tython
162ABY: Six years after the galactic civil war and subsequent collapse of the Eternal Sith Empire a new area of peace had begun. What force-sensitive survivors that had remained had spread out across the galaxy, claiming known worlds and establishing their own factions in an age of promised freedom. 
The New Je'daii order flourished, with the temples rebuilt and a complete navy docked at Stav Kesh they we're now fully self-sufficient on Tython. They could survive there indefinitely. 
But, indeed not all was well. A new danger had grown out in the Galaxy, a new darkside regime of powerful force sensitives who had already laid claim to much of the new galaxy had seen the power of Tython and the strength of the New Je’daii order. They deemed it a potential threat to their own power and had tried to weaken the order by imposing bans of certain force practices and alienating the order politically. When that failed they then turned to more serious methods, waging war on the Je’daii order and its allies. 
Terrogate's lifemate, Grand Master Bathor had sensed darkness. On the 15th day this became truth. The enemy attempted to fuel an ancient Gree superweapon with dark matter from Sunspot. But a terrible disaster happend when a damaged x-wing crashed into the transport while it was pulled through space by Sorcerers using the ability to fold space. The transport imploded destroying everything close by and creating a tear into the fabric of space, a wormhole through space and time.
Journey through time
The wormhole wasn't just a tunnel to a different place but to a different time as well. The Harpy exited the wormhole in 1259BBY, only a couple of other ships exited at same location but who knows how many were sent back into the past? Perhaps the entire amarda? Seperated from her children and friends and unaware of the fact that they had traveled to the past, Grand Mster Mab ordered for everyone to find their way back to Tython. Terrogate still aboard the Harpy now had a new mission, get the remaining members of the Je’daii order back to safety.
