## Biography

### Early Life

Born on the aquatic planet of Manaan, Vondar Ras was very strong in the Force. His force-sensitivity was awakened by the age of 3. His family were immediately notified by the Jedi Order for him to be trained as a Jedi. In truth, Vondar was thrilled to be a Jedi at first. However he wasn’t thrilled to know it was restricted by masters. Not caring about the training, Vondar wanted to learn it no matter how badly and decided to sneak into the archives. Despite being hung caught by the masters, they didn’t punish him and branded him Padawanship to Kreia. By the age of 17, Vondar was already a Jedi Sentinel. With his golden lightsaber, he was amazed for hunting down Dark Side adepts. By the age of 21, he was already a full fledged Jedi Knight, even befriending Revan. Vondar and Revan were best friends until the Mandalorian Wars. Vondar was disappointed in the Jedi for not interfering with the war thus following Revan instead.

### Knighthood

Alongside Revan, Vondar saw what any Jedi Sentinel would do, see the darkness. Something dark made the Mandalorians fight a war they could not win. By age of 29, his worries became true seeing his friend turn to the dark side after the Jedi shunned him from helping Revan. Who asked for his aid alongside all the Jedi. Reluctantly he didn’t side with Darth Revan’s Sith Empire believing this wasn’t what he thought previously. Something turned Revan and Malak as he fought against them. Near the end of the war, he heard of Revan’s return and decided to fight with him in the search of the Star Forge, which he did fight in that fateful final battle. Vondar’s mission was to go to the Jedi Archives and destroy the blueprints. Losing an arm by a Dark Jedi. Soon he found the blueprints, taking it with him as he decided this was for research purposes. Vondar left the space station before it’s conclusion.

### Turning to the Dark Side

At the age of 32, an emotional event happened. In the outer reaches of space he found a Sith Togruta. Her name was Mara. They fell in love and she was pregnant. The Jedi eventually found him asking for help in the First Jedi Purge, to the worries of him fallen killed her but not his two daughters where he will never find them. Vondar came at a wrong time and his rage was unlocked. Flowing with the dark side, Vondar killed the Jedi and murdered them in rage like the lakes of Mustafar. In the Jedi Purge the only time he met his acquaintance was the Jedi Exile, Meetra Surik.

#### Pledging Allegiance to Vitiate and Joining the Sith

Fast forwarding in time, at the age of 39, Vondar found the true Sith he once sensed. Found the Emperor like Revan did before. Instead of fighting him, he pledged his service to Vitiate willingly. Vondar Ras was no more. Darth Braga was born.

During Braga's apprenticeship, he learned so much from his master. In his time, Braga returned to Malachor V. Half of the time in the Great War was him on Malachor restarting the academy. It was there his first death began. Killing himself, knowing his chains that bonded to him was the last step to take. In the Void where the Sith Lords dwell, he learned from Freedon Nadd, Tulak Hord and many more. Learning how to feed from Darth Nihilus, use the pain to stay alive from Darth Sion. Even to learn how to consume spirits to further increase his power, and his first ghost to consume in death was his master. Vitiate.

### Lord of Knowledge

When he came back, for a short while, he traveled to Tython to learn how it began even to learn about the "Ones". The Son, the Daughter and the Father. Braga didn’t know where to look, only to be attacked by the Jedi there. Defeating them easily by sheer power, escaped knowing it wasn’t his time like his master taught him. Braga himself was the one manipulating the galaxy in death to restart the Force Wars.

During the Naboo Crisis, Braga had returned. Knowing what was to come and he watched it all happen. The Clone Wars, the Chosen One, the Galactic Civil War. He fed off from the conflict as he was the audience.

He made himself known after the One Sith Order was destroyed. He forged his Eternal Sith Empire, Rule of Three, his temple and holocron all in one go. He gave himself such a fleet by the very station he was meant to erase creating the Second Star Forge.

Braga created some new abilities and a formula to separate his mind in two halves, however only then can kill the other, Braga went mad and Vondar free. It was battle between them in the Eternal Struggle and at the final battle of Tython, Braga and Vondar fought to see their daughters alive. How they lived was the Jedi in the Old Republic kept them in Cryo-Tubes. Soon both Braga and Vondar died as one.

### Legacy

In Legacy, Braga somehow managed to keep his spirit split intact. Braga refused to die, waiting once again to return. His spirit resides at his temple on Korriban.
