Kallun Hart​

[/beebox3]

Former apprentice of the now-dead Sith Immortal and Moff of Tion Tel Ahren, Kallun Hart is a Sith Assassin who has sworn revenge on the men who killed his former master, with their deaths being one of his primary goals...other than taking up the mantle that his master left behind for him, be it either by proving his worth to the empire or by killing anybody who seeks to take the planet of Tion for themselves.

While he is only thirty-one years old, Kallun Hart has the appearance of a man who is approaching nearly ten years his senior, due to his long exposure to the Dark Side; practically raised within the Sith Order, he has never shyed away from the Force, embracing the otherwordly source of power with his entire being. While his generally good physical health helps keep him looking moderately youthful, his face is becoming more lined and rough than it needs to be, as his body is slowly poisoned by the same source from which he draws his power. In most of his body beyond his face, however, his form is still relatively lean, with a focus on building healthy musculature; Kallun Hart's body overall has yet to succumb to the worst effects of Dark Side corruption.

The picture above is the last that was taken of him before he took to hiding himself; currently he is working on a simple metal mask (image credit to violentevolution on deviantart), on the inside of which he has carved numerous ancient Sith runes, an ever-present reminder of the order he serves, and which he plans to wear when he fully abandons the identity of Kallun Hart.

Physical​

[/beebox3]

Though he is possessed of a wiry and toned musculature due to simply attempting to remain healthy, Kallun's strength is nothing to write home about. He can lift no more than the average man and hit no harder than the average man. However, his dexterity shines through where his strength does not. He moves quickly and precisely, both on his feet and in battle; his movements have been compared to a dance, albeit a deadly one, and when he does strike, he does damage through his careful aim more than through his brute strength. However, this - coupled with his growing corruption from the Dark Side - have left him with a somewhat weak constitution; while he has the endurance to see a battle through to the end if he gets caught in one, he strives to avoid taking any hits, as he doesn't have the strength of body or will to sustain much damage and keep going - thankfully, his immune system and organ functions have yet to suffer from this ongoing metaphysical poisoning.

Mental​

[/beebox3]

Owing to his studies and his dilligence in them, Kallun Hart is a very intelligent man; his ability to identity and rectify any problem that should come to him, coupled with the large amount of knowledge he has managed to keep stored away in his mind, all come together in a powerful set of mental skills that he can call to bear whenever needed. He is also fairly wise in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, having practiced its abilities far more heavily than his martial skills, even up to today. However, he is, by no stretch of the word, charismatic; even among the few people he communicates with on a daily basis, he has garnered the reputation of a recluse and loner, with very little skill at public speaking or speaking to others in general. This is only further fueled by the paranoia he suffers through daily, leading up to the point that he chose to completely conceal his identity.

[beebox3=100%]Personality[/beebox3]

At first glance, if ever he's seen outside of his usual mask and robes, Kallun Hart appears to be a simple, unassuming man, if a bit quiet. He can seem friendly enough when spoken to, gives off the semblance of being rather intelligent, although it's quite obvious he's a bit of a loner. Still, in such circumstances, he isn't impossible to talk to and hold a conversation with, assuming you're stubborn enough to stick by him.

However, this is all a simple dilution of the actuality of who Kallun is. He is far more than a simple loner - he actively strives to separate himself from all but the most necessary of beings for him to interact with, such that few among the Sith Empire have ever actually seen him, even masked as he is. This is fueled by a powerful sense of paranoia, which, while at one point a healthy development given the beings surrounding him, has long since passed into the realm of an unhealthy obsession with other's thoughts toward him, and his own sense of impending death, however right or wrong it may be. Aside from the ruling bodies of the Sith Empire, he is either exceedingly awkward or exceedingly abrasive in dealing with other beings - the Dark Council was the only group of beings he could interact with with any semblance of normalcy.

The other important aspect of Kallun's personality is the barely-bridled rage constantly brewing and boiling beneath his surface. Outwardly, he always appears fairly calm and collected; indeed, even his rage is of the cold and calculating sort, though when it takes hold it serves to transform him from whatever approximation of a man he is into a murderously obsessive, robotic semblance of a human being. Until such time as he comes out of his almost trance-like state of rage, the entirety of his focus will be levied against the object that threw him into such a state, as he seeks to remove it from existence by any means necessary. In recent years, he has managed to turn this into a tool of his own use, rather than it being some semi-random state he might find himself in.

[beebox3=100%]Abilities and Skills[/beebox3]

[beebox3=75%]

The Force​

[/beebox3]

Given that, even at the beginning of his training, Kallun Hart was weak of body and of a frail constitution at the time, his focus in his studies rapidly shifted to studying the Force, under the watchful eyes of his master. Over time he has developed a powerful familiarity in numerous areas of the Force, including such offensive techniques as the various forms of Telekinesis, Force lightning and other forms of energy manipulation, and similar abilities, there is one particular set of abilities that he uses extremely often, fitting into his reclusive nature.

Force Stealth is Kallun's most highly developed skill in the Force, stemming from an inherent natural talent in its use. He is capable of using it in both of its forms - he can either seemingly extinguish his presence in the Force, or, through extreme concentration, subvert it and make himself appear as a follower of the light...or he can turn this ability outwards as Force Camouflage, his physical form disappearing from view for so long as he can maintain his concentration on being hidden. He often uses this when striving to complete an objective, preferring to get in and out of an area without being seen...or to kill any opponent before they realize he is there.

Recently he has been wishing to start to learn Sith Magic and Alchemy, although he has yet to find a suitable teacher for himself.

The Lightsaber​

[/beebox3]

Deeply attuned to the Force as he is, Kallun Hart nevertheless attempted to balance his studies in the Force with his studies of the blade; with a wish to be a well-rounded combatant should he need to use his lightsaber, he focused on studying two forms: The highly defensive Soresu, and the extremely aggressive Juyo. Soresu was his first form that he studied and more-or-less mastered, using it to keep himself safest in battle when his useage of the Force proved unable to suffice; however, he soon chose to study the seventh form, Juyo, feeling that his offensive capabilities were, in general, stifled. Given his adeptness in the latter form after some years of study, he has rapidly been blending both together into a personal style all his own, often confusing opponents with his sudden transition from the near perfect defense of Soresu into a direct, fast, and oftentimes reckless-appearing attack, taking advantage of a small second of perceived opening to launch an all-out offensive to end the fight as quickly as possible.

The Mundane​

[/beebox3]

Similarly to his former master, Kallun Hart fancies himself a bit of a tactician; however, his focus is more on the planning and execution of stealthy actions, surreptitious raids and daring attacks, rather than on leading from the forefront in an all-out obvious war. Having been trained when the Sith Brotherhood was still the Sith Brotherhood and in hiding, he took well to the stealthy, assassin-like qualities of the order at large, versus the much more openly militaristic Empire. Due to this, he will rarely be seen at the forefront of a battle, or even in it - he leaves that to those more capable of leading in the middle of a battle.

Due to his moderately reclusive nature, as well as his more planning-oriented skills, he also does not consider himself much of a leader when on the battlefield - nor does anybody else. His diplomacy skills are lacking almost entirely when communicating with anybody other than his fellow Sith, and he is a notoriously poor cook.

[beebox3=100%]Inventory[/beebox3]

One of the most noticeable pieces of technology Kallun Hart owns, though doesn't yet wear, is his mask/helmet, which he has been constructing in anticipation of abandoning the identity of Kallun Hart entirely. Constructed using the same technology found in the helmets of the Redoubt-series armour, this mask has all the same capabilities, only with a different appearance. It goes along well, however, with his armoured robes (beneath the large outer robe, he wears phrik bracers, as well as durasteel shin guards, a set of lamellar durasteel bands to protect his abdomen as well as still affording him high levels of movement, and a simple durasteel cuirass above the bands), hooking into the body glove he wears beneath them to provide an airtight seal, if needed.

His primary lightsaber is of a relatively simple design, meant to be a utilitarian and useful weapon, rather than some strange work of art to be displayed and never used. Aside from that weapon, he also has Tel Ahren's lightsaber, granted to him after the man's death.

[beebox3=100%]Biography[/beebox3]

Kallun Hart was born to one of the upper class families of the Tion Hegemony, although not one based on Tion itself; his family was, however, allied to the Sith in secret, such that when Tel Ahren came through to conquer the region, his family was one of the first that properly joined him. It was during some meetings with soon-to-be Moff Ahren that Kallun's Force Sensitivity was discovered by the Sith general, who took Kallun as his apprentice. Sadly, while Kallun's family was perfectly willing to be allied with the Sith, they were unwilling to give up their heir to the Order; when diplomacy failed, Tel Ahren had the family executed and their holdings merged into the overall Sith war machine.

Such was Kallun's entrance to the Sith Order, at the age of seven years; after his induction was reported back to Korriban, Tel Ahren began his training in full, nursing his resentment of the elder Sith in order to ensure he quickly grew in power. As the years passed and Kallun was groomed to be not only Tel's apprentice but also his heir, he came to find a new respect for the Sith Immortal, with Moff Ahren becoming one of the few beings to whom Kallun could speak freely and clearly, an unprecedented (for Sith) level of trust having grown between them through the years.

Tel trained Kallun in numerous respects, including in the fields of tactics and logistics, similar to how he had learned; however, the both of them realized rather quickly that Kallun's talents weren't in active battle command, but more in planning and careful execution of small, surgical strikes, battle command being left to the generals and others more adept for that sort of thing. Taking note also of Kallun's then-exceedingly-frail physique, and the boy's natural stealthiness, Tel trained him to use Soresu as his lightsaber form, and taught him to rely on the Force and its abilities to supplement where his body failed him...and to enhance his abilities to hide himself; over time, Kallun started to be formed into a near-perfect assassin of the Sith.

Around the age of twenty-one, Kallun became a full-fledged Sith in his own right, being released from Tel Ahren's household into the wider galaxy. He first stopped at Korriban, shoring up his training in areas he felt that Tel might have been lacking, especially in the usage of the Force; afterwards, he used his abilities as an assassin to eleminate seditious elements within the Sith Brotherhood, including Sacred Band members or even those of the Sith Order - almost entirely due to assignments taken on by his own whim. One of the things he regrets is that he wasn't able to take the lives of Bau Zo or Sihkar Tarei himself, although he still searches for Bau Zo every so often.

When Corvo Vis left the Sith Order and started acting against them, he became one of Kallun's many targets; it was during this time when he first started to focus on learning Juyo, knowing that he would need it if he ever was able to confront the former Supreme Leader. As time has passed and his nearly-ceaseless study of the form has progressed, he has rapidly become a proficient combatant in it as well. However, most of this time period was fairly uneventful for him.

Until the day that the Moff Council was bombed, with his former master - Tel Ahren - being among those killed in the blast. That was the day that Kallun Hart - long since having disappeared from the public eye, even in the Sith Empire - swore that he would seek revenge against Corvo Vis, whose visage was shown again claiming credit for the attack, and against whoever the inside element was that allowed it to occur, once he should learn who they were. Given his current lower rank, he was barred from being able to claim his inheritance of Tel Ahren's holdings, so instead, he decided he would focus on completing objectives for the Empire, such that he could claim his rightful position of Moff of Tion...and should it prove possible, the title of Darth.
