Jaeara Kressh

was a female sith pureblood/human hybrid alive during the Cold war between the Republic and Sith Empire. Trained in the dark arts of Sith Alchemy and devastating lightsaber techniques, she was ruthless, cunning and extremely xenophobic. She was the leader of Order of Soti Kraujas, a sith pureblood cult that would bring about the genocide of alien sith.

Early life
Jaeara, a healthy human/sith pureblood hybrid is born on Ziost while Ve'ora, her mother, tries to find relics and use Sith Alchemy to bring back her Zhâtkûs, her father. Jaeara is trained by her mother and holocrons of ancient sith. Her mother found a way to bring Zhâtkûs back, but he was mentally unstable due to the ritual being tampered with. Zhâtkûs battled Ve'ora, and in an act of rage when he told her that he only slept with to have powerful children, she killed him. Zhâtkûs’s spirit clung on to the only other dark side person in the area: Jaeara.

Only 4 years old, she had to deal with the constant presence of her dead father, who acted as her master while Ve'ora fell into a depressed state. Her father taught her the ways of aggressive lightsaber combat, and explained the reason she was so special and he chose her to act as his apprentice (But he never told her that he was her father). From her reading she knew force spirits were ghosts of powerful Sith (or Jedi), and she considered herself lucky to be his apprentice.

Career
Training on Korriban

Once she began her training on Korriban, she was approached by her father's old master, Lord Zodûr. Her and her brother had never been told about their father. He told them the truth, which revealed him massacring “impure” force sensitives on Korriban. Jaeara made the connection that the force ghost that's been with her since she was a child was actually her father. Intrigued, she questioned Zhâtkûs about his death and he revealed that Ve’ora, her mother killed him. Enraged, she confronted Ve'ora, who revealed that she did kill her father. Jaeara attacked Ve’ora and Zhâtkûs willing gave a portion of his power to assist her (and fulfilling his own sense of revenge). However, Jaeara was not strong enough to beat Ve’ora, and lost. Zhâtkûs was enraged, and tormented Jaeara because of it.

Initiation into Cult

Sensing her hatred and torment, Lord Zodûr took on Jaeara as his protégé. He trained her in the art of force walking, which before had not been done by a Sith Warrior. Meanwhile, Zhâtkûs was biding his time to make his move against his former master. Zhâtkûs convinces Jaeara to kill her master and to take his place in Order of Soti Kraujas, a secret pureblood cult. However, during the duel she almost died, and Zhâtkûs took control and brutally killed her master. Afterward she was induced in the Order. There, she met Kraihâs, a Sith Pureblood from a very conservative family.

Jaeara agrees to help get Zhâtkûs more power (and she would get more power in turn) and kills “impure” sith or those that are not following the cults vision. Once he is stronger he asks to do a ritual that would bring him back into the real world (similar to the ritual her mother did). She steals her mother’s research she had done on the ritual and bringing people back from the dead and goes to Korriban and does the ritual. Zhâtkûs and Jaeara baits Ve’ora with her new lover as a hostage and Ve’ora injures Jaeara and Zhâtkûs flees.

 

Betrayed by Zhâtkûs

Zhâtkûs abandons Jaeara and runs back to the cult and takes control. She hears about a Sith Pureblood attack on Korriban and finds her father and the rest of the cult murdering alien sith. Jaeara goes and fights Zhâtkûs when he's attacking Korriban. She is left to die, however Kraihâs finds her and gets her off world. After explaining everything, they have an alliance together to stop Zhâtkûs.

Over time, Jaeara and Kraihâs become romantic partners. Once Jaeara is strong enough and they have enough political power to successfully attack the cult, they attack Zhâtkûs’s fortress on Rhleg. Jaeara and Kraihâs confronts Zhâtkûs. They duel and Jaeara beheads her father, killing him once and for all. Jaeara and Kraihâs kill the rebers that follow Zhâtkûs.
