Queen Renfry of Dathomir

FACTION: NIGHTSISTER RANK: QUEEN TITLE: DARTH ANDRUIL AGE: 49 HEIGHT: 5'7"

Renfry was First of the Forgotten Valley Clan of Nightsisters before rising to fame as Darth Andruil, Queen of Dathomir and retired Empress of the Sith Empire.


"I am Dathomir, and I will defend what is mine. Find peace beyond the Veil."

  • THE STORY
    The Clans of Dathomir have a history of sending spies and assassins off world for a variety of reasons. The founders of the Forgotten Valley Clan were just these types of warriors who were off world during the slaughter of Mother Talzin's Clan during the Clone Wars.

    Upon eventually returning, they took over another local Clan and founded the Forgotten Valley Clan. Over nearly two centuries, this Clan raised many sisters, one of whom was Renfry.

    Renfry was First of her Clan, apprenticed to Clan Mother Irithyll for the first two decades of her life. During this time she learned to wield magick, hunt, live in the wilds, and generally grew to love Dathomir. Even so, she knew that she wanted to grow her power and learn more of the ways of the Shadow than she could learn on Dathomir alone.

    Her opportunity came when the Forgotten Guardian brought off-worlders to Dathomir by the dozens. After briefly assisting the outsiders in bringing down the Forgotten, Renfry took one of the ships and its pilot droid that had been left behind and left the planet.

    Her travels took her across the galaxy where she began to meet other users of the Force some of whom were unaligned and others of whom were warriors of the Dark Side.

    Upon returning to Dathomir, she met a Sith who captivated her attention and lingered in her mind. She traveled once again off-world and made initial acquaintance with some of those who would one day be allies.

    Her mind lingered on the Sith she had met on Dathomir and she once again sought him out before the pair corrupted a Force nexus on Devaron. Parting ways, they once more crossed paths in the pursuit of the holocron of Darth Kravos. After a harrowing break-in in the Unknown Region, the holocron led them back to the twin worlds where the pair returned the Sith spirits to the world and purged a possession from the mind of Emryc. Visions of what could be and an inexplicable draw led her to swearing her service to not only the Sith, but Emryc in particular.

    Stepping into a new world of darkness was kicked off by an assault on the Jedi temple-world of Ajan Kloss. Alongside notable names such as Darth Raze, Darth Malicia, Darth Asminys, and Darth Invictus, Renfry infiltrated the temple, and they laid waste to the meager defenses. The quintet managed to slay the Jedi Grandmaster and a sitting council member before Renfry's true gift shined through. Ripping the fallen councilor's soul across the Veil between flesh and spirit, she fragmented the spirit and denied it its final rest, creating a cursed and dark nexus at the remnants of the old temple.

    She returned to the Sith in honor and quickly turned her attention to furthering the Sith cause and her own. Seeking ancient knowledge, bringing planets under the covert sway of the Sith, strengthening the position of Blackwell and Emryc, and gaining influence within the Senate were all among the jobs she undertook.

    Her path took her back to Dathomir once again, where she met a particularly curious Sith. The pair recovered Sith and Dathomirian artifacts alike from the crashed First Light before eliminating a trespasser on Dathomir - a Force sensitive who had been leeching the power of Dathomir - before awaiting the salvage crew that would take the First Light away. However, that would be far from the last time that the pair saw one another.

    Her efforts turned to gaining the support of forces outside of the Sith and making allies. Although preliminary attempts to gain the favor of large corporations turned out unsuccessfully, her attempts to build relationships with the Syndicates were more successful.

    These efforts at gaining Syndicate support also led her to build a relationship with Darth Malicia. Renfry's knowledge of the arcane enabled her to assist the Darth in controlling the growing consumptive darkness within her in exchange for future knowledge that could be gained. Shortly after, the debt would be repaid. Renfry traveled to Moraband to assist in the Sith reclamation and was ultimately given access to a library of ancient Sith knowledge for her skills.

    This suited the Nightsister well, as her interest in all things arcane was well known. She had spent time in the past delving into Sith libraries, pursuing lost knowledge of the Jedi, and capitalizing on her resources in order to add arcane Sith techniques to her own knowledge of ancient Nightsister techniques.

    Despite the ritual and curse that had been placed at Ajan Kloss, the Jedi saw fit to return to their old temple-world and Renfry was there to meet them alongside the numerous allies she had met along the way. The skirmish ended in a decisive Sith victory, and the Sith took note to watch the planet more closely in the future for enemy trespassers.

    Interests in expanding her personal power caused her eyes to settle on Felucia, where she negotiated with local tribal leaders to allow a Sith presence alongside an ally she'd not thought she would see again. Her time on Felucia also saw run-ins with unexpected potential allies, but ultimately distracted her from the reclamation of Dathomir for the Sith.

    Despite her initial hesitations and turmoil, Darth Raze forced Renfry's hand on the conquest of Dathomir. Even after having performed a forbidden ritual on Ajan Kloss, Renfry still held a loyalty to her planet and her people, and was forced to confront the violent means required to conquer a world. Although she initial resisted, she ultimately committed herself fully to expanding the influence of the Sith and unifying the Clans of Dathomir under her banner as Queen.

    With the conquest of Dathomir complete, she finished claiming Felucia for the Sith and began setting about defending Sith territory from invasion. The defenses began on Ajan Kloss and then continued as she convinced a Sector Ranger to abandon his investigation of Dathomir.

    After the appearance of the Rangers, she began enhancing the defenses of Dathomir against future invasions and repelled Jedi trespassers.

    Having solidified her position within the Sith, she created her first lightsaber, recovered teachings on Sith alchemy and magic, collected resources for future operations, and expanded the ranks of her allies.

    Tensions around Darth Raze continued to rise as she learned of his relationships with both Malicia and Stolas. Following Raze's injury, Renfry participated in the failed Battle of Byblos, sought out the injured Sith Lord, and traveled with Darth Stolas to recover Raze's lost ship.

    Renfry attended the Sith party where Darth Malicia was overthrown, and it called into question the security of Andruil's holdings. Meditating on Malicia's abdication stoked the feelings of betrayal that Andruil felt and she committed to destroying the remnant of Malicia's cult and recovering information that could expand her arcane knowledge.

    Deciding that the only way to protect herself and Dathomir was to expand her own holdings and the power of the Sith Order, Andruil issued a public challenge and laid claim to Darth Vyrassu's now-empty seat on the Sith Council as the leading expert on the arcane.

    Her new position wasn't one that she would keep without being careful. She began to expand her knowledge of the Shadow and build items for herself that would prepare her for whatever dangers may lie ahead.

    Nevertheless, she recognized that just having her own knowledge wasn't enough. She began recruiting allies loyal to her and enabling them to get into positions of power. She put her skills to use assisting her colleagues and friends and continued to expand her own secret operations.

    Not everything was work, though, and eventually the host of the party gained her support for Lordship within the Sith. Amidst the parties and parlays, she still took time for what was most important to her.

    Her pursuit of the arcane never waned and she aided other Sith in their exploits for a price.

    Eventually, she grew unsatisfied with the violent and blind leadership of the Sith and announced her intention to take her portion of the Sith kingdom on a more legitimate path. The repurcussions of her actions saw the death of the Eternal and placed her in a critical moment where she would be forced to unite the Sith Order or watch it torn apart by civil war.

    She didn't back away from the challenge, but was wise enough to seek advice from those she trusted and began to gather support from the other Sith Lords in preparation for confronting the Council of Lords and publicly declaring the Empire.

    Despite her busy schedule she still took time to connect with her friends and provide support in times of turmoil. She also began recruiting and training those who she saw potential in and ensured that she would have more loyal Sith for the Empire's and Dathomir's causes in the future, though not all meetings of this sort ended so well.

    Although she was formerly from an isolated planet, she was forced to begin to follow politics and the news more closely, whether those reports were accurate or not. She also had to begin engaging in discussions and debates with foreign governments and was met with relative success.

    Her dealings with the Syndicates of the galaxy were violent at worst and questionably productive at best. When those same Syndicates attacked those she cared for she made a violent response with the new assets of the her Empire.

    Her love of history and the arcane meant that despite her busy life, she still found time to pursue ancient rituals, investigate lost civilizations, speculate about the terrifying, and visit ancient sites of importance, often with those who she cared for or wanted to get to know better.

    She continued checking up on old friends and former mentees as well as meeting new potential.

    She couldn't spend all of her time vacationing, however. She had to perform diplomatic actions as the Empress, and even battled the Jedi Grandmaster. Ultimately, she found out potential enemies were far closer than the Jedi.

    As atrocities happened across the galaxy, she sent Imperial support to improve the name of the Empire and even traveled personally to lend her aid.

    Her meetings were a mix of business, pleasure, calls to account, and study with some social events in the mix.

    One meeting led to Lord Raze accepting the position of Dark Lord of the Sith, but when she called her Council to account for their stagnation, violence broke out. She killed Artorigas, a man for whom she cared, and Emryc was severely wounded.

    In the aftermath, she secured loose assets and the news was announced once the successors were selected.

    Things slowly began to return to normal over the subsequent months and her deep grief eventually turned to joy at the birth of Arla, the daughter she had with Emryc. Her life returned to normal as she once again made contact with some of her agents and assessed Imperial expansion. Unfortunately, she found herself once again confronting an ally and friend about his foolish actions.

    Her wrath was not limited to allies, and her true enemy, the Jedi and its Empire, were subjected to the fires of the Imperial Navy at Kashyyyk. The battle was a decisive Imperial victory that cost the lives of millions and the credibility of the Jedi.

    With increasing frequency she found the weight of her actions, the death of her friends, and the responsibilities as Empress weighing on her and she found time and reason to retreat from the galaxy. She walked in disguise among her people, returned to Dathomir with her friends, and spent time with her family.

    She wasn't without any responsibility, however, and she still brokered peace with the New Republic after their expulsion of the Jedi. She investgiated rumors of an ancient race, spent time practicing the arcane, and had tense discussions that once again put her at odds with her friends.

    In her heart she knew the truth. Conflicts and deaths of friends, ever-growing responsibilities, and expectations of her position kept her from what she truly wanted. She yearned to return to who she had always been, and so she chose to retire from her position as Empress in order to pursue her true loves.

      At her heart, Renfry is a very wild and free-spirited soul. She grew up in the jungles and is most at home among the wildlife and traditions of her people. Much to the chagrin of those who know her well, she is also relentlessly curious and constantly has a flurry of questions to ask of others.

      Despite this, she actually shares little about herself. This likely has its roots in the fact that her people are inherently hostile and secretive, and so she has a tendency to answer questions precisely as they are asked or not at all.

      She is highly protective of Dathomir and her people and this has often caused conflicts between herself and other Sith. Nevertheless, she has done a great deal to progress both herself and the Sith cause.

      Because of her upbringing, it is not surprising that many of her skills are related to Dathomir. She is trained in hunting, tracking, and survival within jungles and forests specifically. She is accustomed to being in danger without panicking.

      While armed combat does not tend to be her preference, she is skilled in the basic use of blades and energy bows. Her upbringing in the Nightsisters taught her the basics of Nightsister combat arts, which are largely based on the old Form I of lightsaber combat. In more recent days, she has trained with Darth Stolas to hone her skills and make her a proficient enough duelist to survive most combat encounters.

      By far her most potent skill is her abilities with Shadow Magick. As First of her Clan, she was thoroughly trained in magick for purposes that are both common and arcane. She frequently makes use of combat powers as well as ancient rituals that are to be used outside of combat. She has created and experimented with many rituals in recent years.

      Since taking the mantel of Sith Lord, she has pursued the knowledge of Sith alchemy and magic. She found a holocron on the topic and has also accessed the holocron of Darth Kravos. Through this, she has learned Force of Will and experimented with the creation of abominations. She is quickly becoming an expert on all things arcane, and continues to practice and expand these skills.

      When Renfry took the throne of Dathomir, she took the position extremely seriously. Those who knew her before she became queen will note that she has become more decisive since taking the throne. Dathomir has a long history of being savage and brutal in its conflicts, and nowhere is this more easily seen than in its queen. She will dispatch enemies decisively and without mercy.

      When on Dathomir, she rules from the remnants of the Forgotten Guardian's temple, which has been refurbished for her use. Despite Clans being spread all across the planet, each serves the throne of Dathomir. Upon taking the throne, Renfry had each of the Clans leave behind members for input, defense, and of course, to ensure the loyalty of their kin.

      Under Renfry's rule, Dathomir has continued its tradition of training Sisters and Brothers alike to be sent off world for special assignments on behalf of the Sith or for in use on her personal interests.

      She has also expanded and modernized many of the defenses of the planet. Automated forces requisitioned while she was Empress are concealed on a base on the moon of Dathomir as well as relegated to a few bases scattered across the planet. Turrets, cannons, and shields among other things also supplement the defenses of Dathomir.

I don't usually post when I update a profile, but since this pretty much got a total rewrite, it seems appropriate
