## Biography

### Early Life

#### Project Harvester

**Brakiss** was a male Human born on the planet Msst, a stronghold of the Galactic Empire. His mother was a native of the planet and an Imperial citizen. While still a baby, Brakiss was identified as Force-Sensitive and was taken from his home for training. His mother tried to stop the theft of her child but was unable to stop the Imperials from taking Brakiss. The standing order for Force-Sensitive children was to either dispose of them or mold them into tools for the Empire. Brakiss scored highly enough on his aptitude tests that the Imperials spared his life. Under the Imperials, Brakiss was trained in his Force abilities for future use as an Imperial spy. To ensure his loyalty, the Imperials threatened to kill his family if he did not cooperate. Like other young Force-Sensitive children discovered by the Empire as part of Project Harvester, Brakiss was trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, forming him into a weapon under the control of the Inquisitorius.

Over the years, the Imperials gave Brakiss more freedom, allowing him to visit his family on occasion. However, the treatment under the Empire left Brakiss cold and emotionless. His mother sensed that her son had changed during his training, but Brakiss feigned happiness during his visits. In reality, Brakiss blamed his mother for his kidnapping, never forgiving the woman who was unable to protect him from the Empire. By the time of the Battle of Endor, Brakiss was still a teenager, and when the Empire splintered, Brakiss was shuttled to various warlord kingdoms, furthering the interests of his Imperial handlers.

### Early Life

**Brakiss** was recruited into the Inquisitors when he was a baby and noted as Force-Sensitive. He was then trained by Darth Vader to become one of his Dark-Side agents, and given the new title of **Tenth Brother** thus destroying what little remained of his former self. After the death's of both Vader and the Emperor, Brakiss joined the remnants of the Galactic Empire in their attempts to bring down the New Republic. As the Empire was defeated by the New Republic, Brakiss was recruited by Snoke as one of his Knights of Ren, under the new name **Hakk Ren**.

### Service to Kueller

Later in his service to Snoke, Brakkis was recruited by fellow Knight Kueller into following him, while Kueller set forth a chain of events that would buy the First Order time needed to gain essential supplies and arms to build the First Order. Upon learning that Kueller was in fact a Dark Jedi, Brakiss would then be manipulated into becoming his apprentice and therefore learn Luke Skywalker's methods. As a part of the plan, there would be a series of bombings around the Senate set off by protocol droids with bombs placed inside them to both kill Senators against the First Order and cause enough of a disruption to allow the First Order easy access to arms for a time. After the explosion dozens of Senators were killed and as a result addition Leia Organa was injured.

### Disavowed from the First Order

In order to protect the First Order from being seen as a threat to the New Republic, Kueller and Brakiss proclaimed that they acted alone and solely out of vengeance. Weeks later, the New Republic tracked them both down, but only because they were suppose to take the fall for the First Order's by diverting the Republic's intentions away from the First Order if only slightly so that the First Order may arrange actions that would prove vital to the expansion that they could not have done before. Kueller was not without an army as he recruited a number of his own native people who shared his beliefs to wipe out a large portion of the Republic's military. Kueller's force's held them off for a long time and managed to cause a large number of casualties, but were ultimately beaten by the Republic's military. As Kueller attempted to make his escape he was approached by Luke Skywalker who saw fit to end what he started. After their duel Han Solo arrived and shot Kueller in the back for hurting Leia. After Kueller died at the hands of Han Solo, Brakiss fled the conflict and watched as the New Republic took control of the planet.

### New Sith Order

Brakiss then found a street orphan named Zekk and saught to mold him into a agent of the dark-side. However Luke Skywalker arrived and saved Zekk from Brakiss's grasp. Brakiss tried to return to the Knights of Ren, but before he could he was approached by a cybernetic woman known as Lumiya. Lumiya revealed to Brakiss that Snoke labeled him as a threat in order to protect the First Order in additon to being disavowed, and that Knights of Ren would kill him if he returned. At first Brakiss didn't believe it but after analyzing the evidence Lumiya provided he accepted that his life with the First Order was over.

Lumiya then offered another choice to the Knight of Ren, to join the New Sith Order which given time would be one of the most powerful Sith Orders the galaxy had ever seen. Having no where else to go, Brakiss agreed to join Lumiya's Sith Order. Lumiya herself supervised Brakiss's training and molded him into a Sith warrior who after swearing his allegiance to Darth Krayt was made a Sith Lord, with the new name **Darth Hakk**.
