- Lukas Sevarin

Lukas Sevarin was a Mandalorian Human/ hybrid from the planet Mandalore. He was born on Mandalore in the Mandalorian Civil War, son of the leader of a Mandalorian clan named Clan Sevarin. He fought on the side of the True Mandalorians, and famously crippled the Death Watch splinter group known as Skulltakers.

Lukas joined the organization Black Sun in 45 BBY, where he met his rival Drexl Reznov. In 27 BBY saved Lukas's life. Lukas said he owed him a debt. Lukas repaid his debt by watching over, helping him survive along with when Jango died. He fought on the side in the Clone Wars, where he was an assassin. Lukas's most famous mission was when he was hired to kill Jedi in the war on. He dueled Skywalker but failed to kill him.

When the was founded, he knew that Skywalker, now transformed into Darth Vader, would probably want him dead. He tried to flee to the Outer Rim from Coruscant, but was intercepted and killed by the Sith Lord.

Lukas was a ruthless mercenary, but had his flaws. Most importantly Lukas tended to kill people so quickly he forgot many elementary things, that led to his capture.

Early life
Lukas was born in a Mandalorian clan named Clan Sevarin 69 years before the battle of Yavin. His father, the leader of the clan, was a named Sirul Sevarin,. His mother died in childbirth, and his father cared little for him, favoring his elder brothers, Rufus Sevarin and Cadaver Sevarin, whose mother was a Shistavanen. As a result, Lukas was forced to survive for himself most of the time.

Lukas was exiled from his clan after he murdered his cousin. He was soon caught up in the between the  and the Death Watch, and he and his best friend, Aly Fartontae, beat a member of Death Watch to death. This particular member was part of a splinter group named Skulltakers. When Skulltakers captured his brother Rufus and executed him, an enraged Lukas and a grieving Cadaver hunted down those responsible and killed them, including the Skulltakers leader, Man'do'an.

When Lukas's father heard of this, he was impressed by both his son's ferocity and gave them armor, weapons and a ship: the Wolf's Howl. At the age of fourteen, Lukas left Mandalore to seek out other planets with Fartontae and Cadaver.

Black Sun
"Black Sun is a pit stop of violence, money and murders. So I'll fit right in!"

- Lukas Sevarin about Black Sun

In 45 BBY Lukas and Cadaver were saved by Vigo Suladin of from a krayt dragon. Although Cadaver refused to corporate with Black Sun, Lukas had an agreement with Black Sun to serve them, in return getting over five thousand Republic credits. He was so good at his job he was offered to be a Vigo by, leader of the Black Sun, but refused.

In 34 BBY, Lukas was on a mission given to him by Alexi Garyn to kill Givian slave trader Poyous. Poyous had recently refused to cooperate with Black Sun, so he could keep the profits of his slave trade to himself. Lukas went to find Poyous on the planet Nar Shaddaa, which was under the control of the Hutt clan. In a nightclub Lukas boasted of how he would kill Poyous and why no one had tried to do it before.

Drexl Reznov, a spy who was in the employ of Poyous, tried to kill Lukas, knowing he was a threat to Poyous. After a brief argument, knives were drawn and violence exploded in the bar. Other patrons took sides and a street brawl emerged. Lukas and Reznov escaped the Hutt clan's henchmen, who ended the brawl by shooting some of the people fighting. Ever since that incident Reznov and Lukas hated each other immensely. Embarrassed of his reputation within Black Sun, Lukas left the organization, weeks before Garyn was killed. In 27 BBY, Lukas came across Jango Fett and his son Boba, where Jango saved his life. Lukas said he would look after Boba if Jango was killed.

Clone Wars
Lukas played an active role in the Clone Wars, aiding Count while being paid vast sums of money. One of his early missions was to capture Republic droids, extract information from them and then transform them into Separatist spy units. He was soon promoted to the rank of assassin after swiftly killing a Jedi, Heran Masrovon, who was after his droid. Lukas also claimed Masrovon's blue lightsaber.

Like the Confederate agent, Professor T. Marvolo, Lukas escaped in the skirmish that led Drexl Reznov to his capture. Reznov went to kill him in 3 ABY, but soon learned of his death five years earlier. Lukas lost his arm after trying to capture, who escaped Lukas's clutches.

Assault on Uvena Prime
Lukas was notably famous in the assault on Uvena Prime. The war was planned to kill the some of the Republic's best generals: Generals Skywalker, and Koon. A victory would have also resulted in control of the Shistavanen species. The planet's governor, Canis Dervish, claimed to be an ally of the Republic, but secretly worked for the Separatists. At the time, Canis was a mere puppet compared to the master of the operation, Professor Toxgin Marvolo, a biological weapons designer. Dervish was taken to J'crakk, a Neimoidian star cruiser. When the Jedi Anakin Skywalker heard this, he and his master, Obi Wan Kenobi, went to save Dervish. However, Marvolo wanted to kill the Jedi aboard the J'crakk. The Jedi, however, foiled Lukas. Marvolo, Dervish, Lukas and the battle droid 00L-69, the head of security, escaped to the planet’s surface.

There, Marvolo placed Bossk to lead the bombardment of the planet and to destroy starfighters. While Dervish was at the base with him, Lukas led six Mandalorians to kill Kenobi and Skywalker&mdash;Plo Koon was going to lead the aerial assault so Bossk was to kill him. Lukas also had a teenage Boba Fett helping him in reaching his objective.

Lukas fought Skywalker in the Garadex factory. After falling off the building, Skywalker presumed him dead, but he was wrong. Lukas was discovered killing Dervish. Lukas tried to escape, but was captured by the Republic after one of his legs was crushed and his lightsaber lost. Lukas was placed on trial, but was not found guilty and was freed. Lukas found a green lightsaber as a replacement for his old one.

Era of the Galactic Empire
In his later life—19–2 BBY—, Lukas heavily relied on gambling to survive. He became a legendary figure in the galactic underworld as a veteran of the Clone Wars. In 19 BBY, he said farewell to Boba Fett. On Duro, he was hired to kill Empire commander Gaius Jagafromme. Lukas killed Jagafromme, but was seen committing the murder. Lukas barely escaped with his life, but investigated and found that his rival Drexl Reznov was behind it. Furious, Lukas captured Reznov and dumped him on Hoth to freeze to death.

It was in 17 BBY that Lukas discovered that Darth Vader was in fact Anakin Skywalker, the hot-headed Jedi Lukas had met on Uvena Prime. Lukas was already on the Empire's bad side after Jagafromme, but he now knew that he had offended Vader twice. Lukas fled to the Outer Rim after seeing a 500,000 credits reward for his capture with fellow mercenary and friend Aly Fartontae.

In the Outer Rim Lukas was captured by an adult Boba Fett. He was taken to Jabba the Hutt, who put him into his employ. He was then dispatched to kill Darth Vader. Lukas, who was secretly afraid of Jabba, agreed to perform the task. However, Lukas knew he would be killed if he tried to kill Vader, or be killed by Jabba if he failed. Lukas tried to make a run for it, but was captured by agents of Black Sun.

By now Lukas was well and truly cornered. He knew he couldn't go to Jabba, who would kill him for entertainment, while he couldn't go to the Galactic Empire, who would kill him on sight. Black Sun, still angry that Lukas had deserted them, sold Lukas to Jabba. Lukas however killed his captors and escaped on his ship.

Death
"Your arrogance will be your downfall"

- Darth Vader to Lukas Sevarin, before killing him

In 2 BBY Lukas' ship was caught in an ion storm and Lukas was knocked out. When he awoke his ship seemed destroyed, so he went to investigate. Eventually he came across Darth Vader, who had killed Aly Fartontae.

Lukas confronted Vader, trying to reason with him. However, he realized that Vader wanted him dead. He ignited his weapon, but Vader had over ten years of lightsaber training, and had dueled people such as Count Dooku and. Lukas put up a brave defense, but Vader's better skills defeated him. Vader brought Lukas' severed head back to Coruscant for.

Legacy
The ship Wolf's Howl was found by Cadaver Sevarin, Lukas’s older brother. Cadaver found the bodies and all Lukas’s personal possessions. Cadaver took them to Sirul Sevarin, who burnt Lukas's armor. Sirul never spoke of Lukas again.

Personality and traits
Lukas Sevarin had a smooth personality most of the time, but this could switch to a violent temper. The most common cause of his temper tantrums was people who insulted him about his appearance.

Lukas had a sarcastic sense of humor. He was often described as the lowest of low, as well as being sly and cunning. Most said however that Lukas's weakness was his habit of swift mindless executions. This meant that Lukas was hardly a perfectionist, and often made common mistakes.

Powers and abilities
Lukas had some kind of Force-sensitivity. He used his limited use of Force abilities on fighting, such as saber throw. However, his knowledge of the art of warfare was more satisfactory. He could counter attack many foes, which was why he made his "clients" pay high fees.

Weapons and equipment
Lukas once had a blue Jedi lightsaber (previously belonging to Heran Masrovon) but replaced it with a green one. His full suit of Mandalorian armor was a blue color like Jango Fett. He also carried a D-14 blaster. His cybernetic arm had a steel hook at the end, which Lukas put to good use. Sirul Sevarin had taught all of his sons (Cadaver, Rufus, and Lukas) to improvise weapons when disarmed. Although Cadaver was better at this than his brothers, Lukas still had some ability to improvise better than Rufus (Rufus died when Lukas was twelve).

Behind the scenes
Originally, Lukas Sevarin was going to be a Human. But the author, Dog of War felt that he should make the character different. Dog of War chose Shistavanen to be the hybrid species.

Lukas Sevarin will be one of the main characters in the upcoming novel Star Wars: Galaxy Exiles part 1 along with Drexl Reznov.
