Stefan Thomas (TDS)

Stefan Thomas, also known as Darth Clavis later by the dark side Force-sensitive community as well as in secret by darksiders loyal to Marcus Lai, was a former Jedi apprentice and betrayed the Jedi to become a Dark Lord during the Rise of the Galactic Empire. Later it is revealed that he was to be the Sith'ari and would become the strongest Darksider in history, becoming one of the greatest threats to the Chosen One and Jedi, as the companion and enforcer of The Fallen as described briefly in the Prophecy of Genesis.

Birth and Childhood
Little was known about how Stefan was born however it is known that he wasn't born as an ordinary human was, Stefan was created by an unnamed Darksider's desire to create new life whom didn't exactly follow the scientific ways of Darth Plagueis through the manipulation of midi-chlorians but instead through the assimilation of Dark side force energy to a single point within a pregnant individual, the Sith Sorcery and Alchemy used to create Stefan however cost the Darksider and his force sensitive birth mother their lives - both lives sacrificed to make something new and more powerful.

That wasn't the most worse aspect of his birth however the sacrifice amount depended upon how powerful of a being that the Darksider was trying to create and that in itself was extraordinary, including the body and spirits of his "parents" being used in his birth but also the sacrifice of 196 deceased Sith and Darksider spirits on the world of Korriban which together with the duel energies sacrificed with the parents added up to a worth of a 100 Darksiders, he was born without parents into a Universe where he had intended by his father to be God. Indeed that since birth he had much potential in the Force and this called out to others, Adriana Lai came to Korriban in 31 BBY and found the young youth, she took him to Corellia and gave him to an Orphanage there so that he could become be a potential asset in the future. It was at the Orphanage that he was given the name Stefan Thomas.

Personality
Stefan grew up into his teens a loving and joking youth much similar to any stereotypical Hero however he finally had a touch with the Darkside when growing into adulthood when his Master was killed during the hunt for a Darksider prior to the Clone Wars, Stefan after that point gained sarcasm and sardonic additions to his personality where he began mocking allies and enemies alike, however deep down he was a Hell Fire of hurt emotions and rage. Once joining Marcus Lai, his personality seemed to brighten somewhat between the five years time skip of their Pilgrimage, however unlike Marcus he seems to have lost respect for his enemies and doesn't even respect death even if it were a noble one.

Physical Appearance
Stefan was born with black hair and brown eyes, he was oddly born also with a golden tan which Adriana Lai commented could have been a side effect of such a dark ritual on a crimson world, offering the possibility that the colour of his skin may have been red like the Sith Species should the ritual have been cast by one of neutral Force Sensitivity. Stefan wore the traditional Jedi Robes and boots, he was evidently well muscled due to all the Lightsaber training that he had done and those Force Powers related seemed his most notable skill, given that despite his potential he had been singled out as a weak link out of other Force Power attributes.

After the death of his Master this began to rapidly change as his Jedi Robes had to be discarded for more normal clothes in order to blend in more easily so that normal people would underestimate him which the Jedi disproved of, Stefan prior to his Master's death began wearing a shirt and blue jeans, after his Master's death however he eventually gained two earrings and had his shirt or jacket open to reveal much of his upper body as if taunting his enemies to try and stab him there which the Jedi greatly despised.

Eventually however, Stefan would come to wear a black customized uniform unique only to him with both being either open shirted and not, as was his right as the Empire's Military Executor and the Emperor's consort. Included in his new uniform, is a jacket much similar to the one that Marcus wears, throughout the post-Clone Wars period.

Stefan Thomas' Jedi lightsaber
Stefan's Lightsaber was the one he wielded as a Jedi, a Jedi Lightsaber with a purple blade that he specialized for combat, he used this for most of his Jedi life but then replaced it with two upon becoming a Sith.

Darth Clavis' two Sith lightsabers
Were two Lightsabers designed by Clavis during his pilgrimage with Darth Letalis, the weapon was designed specifically to use both weapons as detached blades and to even fuse them into a double blade if it became necessary to overwhelm his opponents, he was deadly with either blade and had no specific problem with using either hand.

Behind the Scenes
His first name: "Stefan", actually means "Crown". His last name: "Thomas", actually means "Dependable". His first and second name together give an insight into Marcus' interest in Stefan, believing him to be his most Dependable "Ally" and the one whom would help him get the Imperial "Crown". Stefan's Sith name: "Clavis", literally means "Key", meaning that he is the key to something - one possibility is that he is Marcus' Key for the Imperial Throne.
