Ragathna Brokkodd

Ragathna Brokkodd (nee Zuvrey) was a female sorceress who lived in the last centuries of the. She was the consort of Chelshgodrû Brokkodd and a partner in her husband's study of as it related to the quest for immortality.

Match Made in Hell
Ragathna was born on, a Sith world in the sway of the influential Kressh family. A member of the class, she was raised with all her Kissai father's considerable knowledge of Sith rites and magicks. After the rise of, she was given in an arranged marriage to Chelshgodrû Brokkodd, but the pair were well-matched—they shared a fascination with arcane and esoteric Sith rites and a fear of death that drove them to research ways of staving it off.

After the death of, the Brokkodds supported their patron against. When Kressh planned on Sadow's fortress at, Ragathna believed Sadow too clever to be caught in such a simple trap and counseled her husband to find a way out of participating. The Brokkodds convinced Kressh that their lack of any noteworthy military following would make them of limited use in direct combat, and so Kressh named Chelshgodrû castellan of Rhelg while he went to Khar Delba.

Ragathna's counsel proved wise, as Sadow defeated Kressh's fleet with one of his own he had concealed behind. The Brokkodds helped Kressh conceal his survival and plan his campaign to usurp the Empire from under Sadow's nose. After Sadow left Sith Space to pursue against the, Kressh successfully seized control of the Empire and rewarded the Brokkodds with favored positions in his court.

Flight for Life
Sadow returned, however, and fought against Kressh, destroying Kressh's flagship and killing the Dark Lord. With their master dead and the Republic pursuing Sadow, the Brokkodds fled Sith Space entirely. Chelshgodrû considered seeking out Kressh's son, but Ragathna dissuaded him—Elcho had neither his father's mastery of the dark side nor his military might. Instead, the Brokkodds fled across the and into  with their  servants.

Mutual meditation led them to Guudria, far out in. The Brokkodds found the native too primitive to be worth ruling, and so they pondered their future. Knowing they would die within decades at most, they sought ways to prolong their lives. Between them, they pieced together enough knowledge to complete a ritual to revitalize themselves by draining others of life, but they lacked sufficient sentient victims. Instead, Chelshgodrû developed a ritual to separate their souls from their living bodies and encase them in preordained receptacles, allowing them to exist indefinitely, disembodied, until they could manipulate or compel others to complete the ritual for them.

The Brokkodds were buried alive in a tomb they had their Massassi build, then drained the Massassi of life to complete the ritual and encase their souls in their own sarcophagi.

New Lease on Life
Millennia passed, and while the Tomb of the Brokkodds radiated into the surrounding regions and drove the Guudrians away, it was not until the  that a useful being came along. A young Sith named Vedya Gasald found her way into the tomb and encountered the Brokkodds. She struck a bargain with them: in exchange for Ragathna's help in expanding her power, Vedya would send Chelshgodrû Forceful victims to complete the revitalization ritual. They agreed, and Ragathna accompanied Vedya offworld.
