=== Unknown Twenties, 25-27 ===

Mikhael was on Khar Delba with Rynalla, a Sith archaeologist who was helping him uncover Sith political science, when he met Jenisis in a tavernThe Titanic Crashes Into An Iceberg And Sinks, RP. They became a couple almost instantly. He was also working for Djinn Altis on the Chu'unthor, and it had been ten years since he was previously in love. He had a vision that he would see Jenisis slam the door behind him, and that he would shout that she had lied to him, causing her to cry. Their relationship would last 25 months.
=== The Missing Years, 29-38 ===
Mikhael spent a year as ambassador to Mon Calamari, on behalf of Hapes, and during that time looked after Tahira Solo for a day, during which time they were attacked by a skra'akanSnape Killed Dumbledore But Only Because He Lost His One True Love, RP that tried to kill them. Both displayed surprising capabilities, and Mikhael eventually killed the creature with lightning. Tahira healed him, and both discovered that they may have the potential for Jedi or Sith training.
Mikhael headed to the Chu'unthor to be tested by Master Djinn Altis, before seeking out his old associates among the Sith. When he was 31, his mother died.

Mikhael became a senior lecturer for Coruscant's criminal psychology, political science and social psychiatry departments, specialising in humanity.

He became head of the Political Science departmentOh, I See It. This Is Going To Be Easy, RP and joined the University's leading body only a couple of months before the Death Star entered and exploded in Coruscant's upper atmosphere, the remnants helping to annihilate the University (though conspiracy theories suggest that the University was demolished from the inside).

Mikhael was therefore the most important individual at the destroyed University of Coruscant. With the insurance money, and many private donations, however, he was able to procure enough money to build the same structure once more - but instead opted to build the two-campus University of Ryloth at five times the size; one campus permanently in daylight and the other permanently in darknessGalaxy Amok, RP. He was elected Vice ChancellorA New Day For Ryloth, RP, the previous Chancellor remaining in his post, and ran the daily operations from his office on the Brightlands Campus.

Mikhael hunted Vohn Exel, a lost Jedi Master, on KaminoI'll Just Borrow This, RP, and used his device to lock doors off the landing pad. He followed this act by hunting Vohn once more, helping to rescue him from Korriban by killing several Sith KnightsRepo In Transit, RP with a detonator, broken glass and fire. He received a cloaking device for taking Vohn to the Sith and two hundred thousand credits for returning him to the Jedi.

The second Galactic Crusade started when Mikhael deliberately led Tahira to expose the University Court, creating a rift within factions as well as between themGalaxy Amok, RP. During this Crusade, Mikhael adopted the names "Chaos" and "Control", refining both to show his dual personality aspects as someone who supported anarchism but ensured all aspects of every part of his life were moderated.

Mikhael tracked down Mikel Shanshu and persuaded him to join him on a quest to locate and resurrect an ancient Sith sect known as the KrathBeing A Sith Master Is Completely Overrated, RP.
