## **Biography**

### **Life Before The Empire**

Aaric Etherall Tritum was born and lived during the reign of High Lord Tritum XI of House Mecetti, onthe planet of Nyssa, in the Tapani sector. (somewhere around 4000BBY)

He is an illegitimate son from Tritum XI's tryst with a minor noble woman from House Mecetti's sworn enemies: House Pelagia. Once the affair was brought to light, the noblewoman was cast out of House Pelagia. However, Tritum XI would not openly receive her into House Mecetti for fear of losing his standing. Thus, he took her in and allowed her to give birth to their son and raise him in secret within the confines of his residence.

Tritum XI did not actively participate nor show any interest in Aaric's growth during his childhood days. Neither did he show care or concern for his mistress. This led to hatred and resentment within Aaric for his own and his mother's treatment.

Unfortunately, the straw that broke the camel's back was when Aaric's mother was suddenly framed for treason against Tritum XI and she was summarily executed. During the execution ceremony, Aaric intervened in an attempt to save his mother. But as a guard was about to approach and slay her son, the mistress threw herself into the path of the weapon and was killed.

The shock of his mother's death triggered his latent force powers and he wreaked havoc upon the venue and it's bystanders. Viscountess Mireya of Vjun, Lord Tritum XI's official wife at the time, ordered the hidden members of the Mecrosa Order to subdue the boy. Finally, a sleep dart to the neck finally knocked him unconscious.

Instead of killing the boy, the Vicountess recognised Aaric's force potential, raising and training him within the Mecrosa Order's ranks to serve House Mecetti. Even so, Aaric's hatred and thirst for vengeance against Tritum XI and also House Pelagia by his mother's association could not be diminished. He secretly plotted to overthrow the high Lord.

But before he could put the plan to action, his intentions were brought to light and Tritum XI ordered Aaric to be executed for fear of his life. Fortunately, Viscountess Mireya intervened once again and sentenced Aaric to be frozen in Carbonite and put in storage for an indefinite amount of time until he can be unfrozen and his skills used for the good of House Mecetti and the Mecrosa Order once again.

Eventually, he was forgotten and Aaric slept for millenia until recently (156ABY) when his Carbonite body was discovered and unfrozen by the current reigning High Lord. Though Tritum XI was long gone, House Pelagia still lived. So Aaric decided to focus his still smouldering vengeance on the complete eradication of them. He was permitted to re-train under the current Mecrosa Order, but was limited in what he could do. Thus, he sought permission and left Nyssa to train under the Sith Empire's Korriban academy.

Here, in the home of the ancient Sith Lords of time immemorial would be where his vengeance would begin.
