Biography
Lord Gladius, was a force user born in the harsh world of Karkykh. Gladius would go through his life making a good use of his force powers. He lived up to the age of 69, till his eventual death.

Early life
Gladius was born in the planet Karkykh 670 BBY. He would spend the first ten years of his life working to keep his family alive. When Gladius was only 7-years old, he witnessed a tragic event in his life. He was on a journey with his father and sister Dayna, searching for food and resources to survive. During this journey they were attacked by bandits armed with blaster rifles and speeders. The battle wasn't very long, as Gladius and his family were completely outclassed by the bandits. The fight would still take the life of her sister, who gave up her life protecting Gladius against a shot from a blaster. This would enrage Gladius and his father, and the two would end up hunting the bandits down with only two rifles obtained from some of the fallen attackers. Three years later, Gladius would get a visit from a jedi master Knrek Bracwan. The jedi master would then end taking the boy with him, wanting to train him to become a jedi.

A talented padawan
After his arrival to the order, Gladius would turn out to be very talented in the use of the force. When he became a padawan, he and his master went on to complete several missions throughout the outer rim. While he was powerful in the use of the force, the thing that Gladius was truly talented at turned out to be lightsaber combat. While he was Knrek's student, he would get training in the fourth form, ataru. Gladius turned out to be extremely talented in the use of this form, bringing it to it's absolute limits.

The master of dueling
A year had passed, and Gladius was no longer a padawan. The Jedi Council had granted him the rank of a jedi knight. Now that he could spend more of his time as he desired, Gladius would train his skills up to a great level. He would soon even be known as one of the greatest duelists of the entire order. Years went by very fast, and Gladius's skills would grow. He now had the rank of a jedi master, and only the grand master of the order Bentren Knodank could truly defeat him in a sparring match. But, as his skills grew, so did his arrogance. His defeats at the hands of the grand master made him angrier, and so he doubled the amount of time he used to train. After a while he would make it three times longer, and so on. The other jedi masters looked at his growing skills proudly, but there was also a seed of fear inside them.

A new rival
More and more years had passed, and Gladius had grown almost unbeatable. His hybrid form made out of ataru and soresu was very effective. But, it had also some weaknesses. After a while, a new jedi would enter the order. This man was known as Vek Arrek. Vek, just like Gladius turned out to be very talented, rising through the order's ranks very fast. As Arrek had reached the rank of a jedi knight, he was known was the only jedi alongside the grand master able to defeat Gladius in sparring sessions. This of course enraged the jedi master, and he would dedicate even more of his time into training.

Abandoning The Jedi Order
After all his efforts to surpass Arrek proved to be useless, Gladius would seek help from the holocrons. While searching, he would come across a very strange one. This holocron would tell him about a jedi, who left the order because it in his opinion rejected the use of the force too much. He then became a dark side user, not being a part of the sith nor jedi. His ideas and thoughts astonished Gladius, making him believe that he wouldn't accomplish his goals with the jedi order. Soon after this, he would abandon the order, leaving the jedi behind.
