"*I never lived up to my family's expectations. I was raised to be a fearless warrior of Dathomir, like my father and brothers, but my heart was never in it. I used to always wonder what life was like out in the galaxy. Lee-Fan gave me a chance to satisfy my curiosities and become something greater more than what was expected of me.*"

―Talan Bizago
The **Bizago family** was a family of Dathomirian Zabraks native to the Outer Rim planet Dathomir. The family's earliest prominence originated from Zikora Bizago, who served as a Nightsister of Mother Talzin's coven. When Bizago was old enough to take on a mate, Talzin sent her to the Nightbrother village on the outskirts of Dathomir. Upon her arrival, Bizago met with the Nightbrother Viscus and informed him that she arrived to perform the Selection. Viscus gathered the heads of each clan and they all competed to become Bizago's champion. Ultimately, the Nightbrother named Talvon bested his other opponents, leaving him to face Bizago. The two were well-matched in martial combat, but the Nightsister overcame her opponent and proclaimed Talvon the victor of the Selection.

Together, the two had three sons named Talan, Farron and Kavali. Bizago lived in a home in the village with the boys as Talvon and Viscus began training them to become Nightbrother warriors. However, Talan was never interested in becoming a Nightbrother, instead he desired to leave Dathomir and travel the galaxy. Talvon grew frustrated with his son's disobedience and often punished him for disgracing their tradition. Despite a rough start, Talan grew to appreciate his culture and committed to his training, striving to make his father proud.

In 60 BBY, Mother Talzin summoned the explorer Lee-Fan Wey to exchange knowledge. When Wey arrived at the Nighstsister fortress, he met with Talzin and exchanged knowledge he gathered on his travels for free passage on Dathomir. With the agreement, Talzin also gave Wey permission to visit the Nightbrother village under an escort. To further his exploration, Wey traveled to visit the Nightbrothers with two Nightsister escorts. When they arrived, they were greeted by Viscus, who allowed Wey to explore the village.

Later that day, Talvon learned of Wey's visit and requested the audience of Mother Talzin. When Talzin arrived, Talvon requested for Talan to leave with Wey, suggesting that it was in the best interest of the child, to which Zikora and Viscus agreed. With some convincing, Talzin agreed to his terms, allowing the child to leave with Wey on his travels. Wey proudly accepted the responsibility of looking after Talan. Eventually, the two boarded Wey's ship and left Dathomir as they headed for the casino city of Canto Bight.

## **History**

### **Origins**

The Bizago family originated from a Dathomirian female named Zikora Bizago during the final years of the Republic Era. She was born on the Outer Rim planet of Dathomir and served in the Nightsister coven of Mother Talzin. When Bizago was old enough to take on a mate, Talzin sent her aboard a speeder to the Nightbrother village on the outskirts of the planet. At the village, Bizago met with the Nightbrother chieftain Viscus and informed him that she had arrived to perform the Selection—a Dathomiri ritual by which Nightsisters tested their own skills and Nightbrothers were selected for mating. Viscus summoned the leaders of each Nightbrother clan to the village square, where the men lined up to be inspected by the Nightsister. Taking full advantage of her dominant social status, Bizago began to beat and berate several of the Nightbrothers to demonstrate that many were unfit for consideration. After dismissing several undesirables, she selected a group of seven potential candidates, making sure to single out one in particular named Talvon.

### **The Selection**

The warriors' first trial also served as an initiation assessment for Bizago, therefore, the Test of Fury was the first part in the Selection process, but was also a necessary rite of Nightsisters to become full-fledged assassins in their culture. In the open circular arena high above the village, Bizago and Viscus gathered the seven candidates and armed them with a variety of deadly melee weapons. At Viscus' signal, the men attacked the unarmed Nightsister, who easily dodged their assaults and assailed them with her bare hands. Bizago killed two of the Nightbrothers in the vicious scuffle and incapacitated the other four. Talvon was the last warrior standing, but she knocked him out with a swift punch after he chose to rush to his fellow brothers' aid instead of continuing the attack.

As night fell on Dathomir, Bizago and Viscus began the second test of the Selection. With the challenge of blindness, Bizago wielded a flail and hid in the darkness from the five remaining warriors. Her first two attacks were successful as she killed three of the candidates, but Talvon was able to predict the angle of the third attack and pull himself and another brother away from Bizago's deadly strike. Impressed, she admitted the two brothers into the third and final test in which she would fight them to the death on ceremonial platforms that raised and lowered unpredictably.

Despite working together to survive, the two brothers viciously fought each other for dominance, as well as attempting to evade Bizago's attacks. As Bizago neared the two brothers, Talvon noticed her and managed to evade her attack, so Bizago focused her attention on the other brother, killing him in combat. As the last Nightbrother remaining, Talvon called out Bizago to a match as he was determined to prove himself. The two were well-matched in martial combat but the Nightsister ultimately overcame her opponent after brutally beating him to the ground. With her foot on his throat, she looked down at Talvon and proclaimed him the victor of the Selection and she took ownership of him as a slave.

### **The next generation**

Following the Selection, Bizago stayed in a home in the village with Talvon and the two conceived a son named Talan. Growing up in the Dathomiri tradition, Talan was conditioned and trained to become a warrior of the Nightbrothers from a young age. Through training, Talan eventually received his traditional clan tattoos from his father. Sometime later, Zikora and Talvon had another son named Farron, and he joined his older brother in Nightbrother training. As time waged on, Talan's imagination grew and he began wondering about life outside of Dathomir. He was fascinated about the galaxy and began losing interest in his culture. Talan would discuss his desire to leave Dathomir and travel the galaxy, but Talvon often punished him for speaking out of turn and disgracing their culture. However, Talan learned to appreciate his culture and committed to his training as he strived to make his parents proud above all else. A couple years later, Zikora and Talvon had their third and final son named Kavali.

### **Wey's visit**

In 60 BBY, the explorer Lee-Fan Wey traveled to Dathomir to explore the planet and collect artifacts. Upon his arrival, Mother Talzin sent Nightsister assassins to bring him before her in the Nightsister fortress. As instructed, the assassins apprehended Wey and brought him before Talzin in their lair. Wey recognized the significance of the Nightsisters and begged them to spare his life. He explained that he only visited their world to explore and learn more about the Dathomiri culture. Talzin only accepted his request in exchange for valuable knowledge. As agreed, Wey gave up all the research he had that Talzin found valuable and she allowed him free passage on Dathomir under an escort, including the Nightbrother village. To further his exploration, Wey traveled to the Nightbrother village with Nightsister escorts.

Upon their arrival, they were met by Viscus and a group of violent Nightbrothers who were all troubled by Wey's presence. The Nightsisters calmed down the brothers, explaining that Wey had visited to explore the village. They told Viscus that Mother Talzin granted him free passage in the village and Viscus reluctantly allowed him inside. Throughout the day, Wey was greeted with hostility as expected, however, he continued his exploration and got a chance to speak to a few welcoming locals. Eventually, Zikora and Talvon learned of Wey visiting the village and Talvon left the house to confront Viscus.

### **A new life**

When Talvon found Viscus, he was with Wey and the two were talking, so Talvon confronted the both of them. Viscus attempted to calm him down, but it wasn't until Talan came that Talvon finally calmed down. The boy explained that he followed Talvon after watching him storm out of the house. Talvon reassured his son that he was fine, but Talan hugged his leg and began crying. Wey stepped in to introduce himself and relieve any tensions that he might of caused. He explained his business in the village and reassured the Nightbrother that he didn't mean any harm. He introduced himself to Talan and attempted to calm the boy down. As Talvon noticed the instant connection of Wey and Talan, he formulated a solution to solve everyone's problems. He requested the audience of Mother Talzin to request his idea.

Talzin arrived at the village and Talvon took the opportunity to present his request. Talvon suggested that his eldest son was unworthy of becoming a Nightbrother warrior as he would prefer to leave their homeworld, therefore, it would be the best option for the boy to leave with Wey. As Talvon continued to explain himself, Zikora and Viscus voiced that they were in agreement, suggesting that it would be in the best interest of the child. With intense consideration, Talzin saw no reason to keep Talan on Dathomir and allowed him to leave with Wey. With everyone in agreement, Talan spent his last moments with his family before leaving his home forever. The next day, Wey and Talan were escorted back to the Nightsister lair where Wey's starship was located. Before their departure, Talan looked back on his homeworld one last time and then boarded the ship with Wey.
