A cold, calculating Anzat raised on the Sith teachings with only enough memory of his pasts to fuel his hatred and nightmares, Vetas Malin has spent longer honing and perfecting his skills than many other lords of the Sith and keeps his Anzati nature a very private matter, not needing the extra attention for not being human or pure-blood. Though now, now does the new Moff of Vanqor set his sights on the stars once more and move forward with indefatigable purpose and resolve, his cunning mind, century of experience and powerful abilities ready to aid him in crush all opposition to whatever it may be he sets his sights on .
After being taken in by the Sith, his mother slaughtered during his youth and being made to think the Jedi were in fact to blame, Vetas has become a cold individual. Given his Anzat nature and the importance the Sith place on manipulation and ruler-ship of the weak, Vetas conveys a sense of calm, almost persuasive authority about himself and moves with what one could call 'mature grace'. Whereas other Sith move like flowing rivers of raw, unabated passion, Vetas is much more selective, even when it seems his own passions begin to overtake him as well.
Aside form his natural charisma, Vetas is also a very contemplative individual and much more exact than many other Sith. While there are many who throw their brute strength into every heavy-handed strike and force ability, Vetas thinks quick, efficient and dagger-point deadly. To him, the satisfaction between exerting a simple command to crush and detonate a grenade in someone's hand as they draw it is just as exhilarating as the prospect of catching it in mid-air and flinging it back would be to others, and to him, his way is much more effective. After all, as long as his opposition ends up crushed beneath booted heel then he is perfectly willing to forego the difference between raw, impressive displays and small, technical applications of the force in order to choose the more effective approach. Victory, by the smartest means, in his case.
Vetas also takes a lot of pride in his unorthodox thinking. Whether it be in the midst of combat or when maneuvering around the enemy or even allies. From his years of experience and time watching, waiting and striking when others least expect, Vetas often finds people miss rather simple solutions to things because they are not willing to think fluidly enough. They are not bending or submitting to the circumstances, but rather taking advantage of them to effectively exert their power. At least, this is how he sees it anyways.
In addition, Vetas is also very well-spoken and eloquent, and despises a great majority of the unnecessary in-fighting of his brethren. The key to that sentence however, is unnecessary in-fighting, as he is most certainly not the type to put up with disrespect, insurgency, or resistance to his whims.

Shattered Reality
Red petals floated airily on the breeze calmly drifting through the bright blue sky of Vetas' home-world. A child's soft brown eyes gazed up into the peaceful rolling clouds to this planet he would only ever come to know as "home". Standing at the adolescent age of eleven did the young Anzati boy sprint through the field of his home planet, his family home always within sight no matter how far he dared to go. He could remember his mother, an Anzat woman who he obviously favored in showing the features of, working calmly from their home as he grew. Their lives simple, yet happy, and despite the implied insidious nature of their heritage his mother had always taught him restraint against feeding on someone. Little did the young boy know his mother's repentant, cautious and tranquil manner had come from her turning her back on the Sith, on the Dark Side, the moment he was born. As her eyes had fallen upon her newborn child her heart of cold, apathetic hatred had melted like glacial ice beneath the summer sun and she had left the Sith, the darkness, behind and taken up a tranquil, solitary life in order to not only try and repent for her past crimes, but to give her son a chance at a more normal existence.
Growing up into adolescence Vetas' strength in the force became readily apparent to his mother, even while still of the age as to be considered a child by human standards. Fearing for her son's enslavement by the Sith should they come seeking her out, she quickly decided that the best way to avoid this was to train him just enough to learn to hide his abilities and fend for himself should he ever need to. With most of her own knowledge being of the Dark Side, it was incredibly difficult for her to train him without the use of negative emotions. Anger, rage, without these familiar conduits of power the training was slow, but also fruitful thanks to her son's prodigious strength in the force. In a year's time, young Vetas had learned enough to be considered an equal to a Padawan or Acolyte. It was also at this time, that this peaceful reality of his shattered into a million pieces, and scattered to the wind, like the petals of the roses that surrounded their home. After all, none leave the Sith without consequences.
Fire, fire was brought to that beautiful world in the form of merciless bombing runs. The Sith had tracked his mother down, and now sought recompense for their betrayal. Vetas had no way of knowing who these people were, no inkling as to what was truly going on. His memory of that day remains blurred, distorted almost to the point of it being beyond recognition. However he does remember the anger, the seething, boiling anger as a lone Sith warrior slew his mother before his own cowering, hiding eyes. A deep, cold hatred gripped him then and due not only to the element of surprise, but the warrior in question being significantly exhausted, did Vetas grip the man by the throat through the Force and with a sickening crack and twist of his neck at an impossible angle, end his life.
The Sith who found him, in lieu of slaying a child who had seemingly killed one of their warriors, took him to become a Sith Acolyte. They took him to Korriban, and with tears still burning his eyes, did he forever say goodbye to that burning world of roses and sky. Being as trained as he was, Vetas found it incredibly easy to slaughter the untrained slaves and other 'acolytes' they all but fed to his burgeoning wrath. His sense of self and restraint going cold and numb as the young boy became apathetic to the galaxy, viewing it all with a detached apathy. Over time however, the ideals of the then Sith brotherhood and the more refined, calculating nature he is now known for began to ingrain themselves into him as he approached adulthood. Decades of training, honing his skills and study of dark secrets and techniques come to full fruition as he finally set foot out into the wider galaxy.
Skills, Equipment and Abilities
Skills
Vetas is a Masterful practitioner of NIman and Jar-Kai dual-blade combat and often keeps his second lightsaber in reserve to call forth whenever he wishes to use it. Often only doing so when an opponent pushes him especially hard or to further press an advantage he has already gained on his adversaries. In addition to this, since his seclusion on Vanqor Vetas has further personalized his style of combat, weaving in key aspects of other lightsaber forms into his wider Niman base. Crafting a style virtually all his own in it's adaptability. A special note can be made, however, of his knowledge of Makashi. Due to it's rising prevalence among both orders as the war intensifies, Vetas has made it a point to study the dueling form's ins and outs meticulously.
Equipment
- Medium MK 5 Inquisition Combat Armor
- Two dual-phase red lightsabers
- One short-blade red lightsaber
- Sith-Encrypted Comlink
Vetas is skilled in many Dark Side techniques of varying different stripes, from draining the life force of his enemies to unleash powerful screams of raw force energy. He has become a masterful practitioner of a few key areas worthy of note however. His most recently mastered areas of study are telepathy; backed by his Anzati heritage and their natural inclination for such attacks, Vetas found perfecting his telepathic skills in his five years on Vanqor to be easier than most other abilities he has learned; and Force Sight. The ability to perceive objects distinctly and clearly through the Force. Vetas is also a prodigiously gifted telekinetic, and can use this skill in a huge variety of ways, from increasing his speed and agility to lifting massive objects and groups of individual smaller objects. Finally, Vetas' most powerful and attuned areas of study are by far his trials in Sith Sorcery and his energy manipulation. With Sith Sorcery he is capable of calling upon the Dark Side for a litany of unnatural and spectacular uses, whether they are more focused on the battlefield or even Sith Alchemy. Relatively recently, Vetas has improved his ability to call upon Sith lightning to such a degree that it now takes on a red coloration when called upon, in addition to this, Vetas has honed his skill to the point he can call upon a Force Storm.
