Praxon

"What even are you now? Man? Machine? I've done you a favor, jamming that droid's transmissions. You've lost yourself. Don't you remember the times before, where you didn't have a little voice in there telling you what to do? Or do you not even care?"

- Deicen to Praxon.

 was a top assassin of Brotherhoodduring the time of the Clone Wars and the Shadow Conflict. Dylan Antiunknown personally gave him assignments, including a mission to rescue Cade Slarwalker from the captivity of Hans Novastar and Ranulph Darkhitch after Order 66. Praxon was then found worthy of being involuntarily "drafted" into the second Antimatter Squadron, where he joined Asura Tyuki, DX-245, and Kev Marnath on a mission to assassinate Dani Morrow.

Shadow Conflict
Praxon did not want to kill Dani, but was forced to by Taran Ragnan's employment of the Brotherhood Nerve Control System. He resisted, and Asura killed her instead, but that resistance cost Kev his life and nearly doomed the mission, and as a punishment Cyana Bastra elected to experiment on Praxon, replacing one of his eyes with a cybernetic one linked into a DX Neural Interface. The interface meant that his brain was linked to DX-245's proccessor unit, allowing the two to sync in battle and for DX to more easily control Praxon when the Brotherhood needed it. Shortly after, both Antimatter Squadrons met aboard the Exarch, where Praxon was forced to attack and wound Asura by DX before he and the droid were freed from the Brotherhood's control by Hans and Ranulph. They escaped to the Fortune Destroyer with Asura and left Coruscant as quickly as possible. While Asura recovered, Praxon and DX were offered a spot in Antimatter Squadron, and accepted.

One year later, Praxon and the rest of Antimatter Squadron would meet Galen Slarwalker and Yula Ardinn to bury Ganner Slarwalker and hide his journal. In the meantime, the Brotherhood went into hiding, but Antimatter Squadron dedicated themselves to finding the organization and destroying it.

Resurgence
Five years after Ganner's funeral, Praxon and Antimatter Squadron (save for Ranulph who had left two years earlier) were raiding a Brotherhood facility on Manaan when a self-destruct sequence initiated, and with one second left and no chance of escaping, it was deactivated by a mysterious contact. The contact wanted the team's help in acquiring information that would be mutually beneficial to them. Praxon and the others convinced Hans to agree.

The mission led to Quesh, where the team uncovered Sen Qorbin, barely alive and held in stasis. They also met Yula there, who revealed that she had been working with their contact, Ranulph, to fulfill a vision Ganner had seen in two heroes would do battle with a great enemy. Their discovery also alerted the Inquisitor Decien to their presence, and led him to begin tracking the team. They took Qorbin back to the Fortune Destroyer, and Hans instructed DX-245 to monitor Qorbin and tell him if he learned any important information.

Antimatter Squadron, now accompanied by Yula, then returned to Carlac to ensure that Ganner was dead, and that his journals had been untouched. They set course for Dathomir, but unbeknownst to them, Decien was monitoring and would find Ganner's body and journals before following them to their next destination.

On Dathomir, Antimatter Squadron stayed onboard the Fortune Destroyer while Yula set out to speak to the Nightsisters. While they waited, Decien appeared over the planet with a small Imperial armada, forcing the Fortune Destroyer to take flight and battle for time until finally being shot down. Everyone onboard survived, and the ship was captured and taken to Imperial Facility 406-P.

On the station, DX-245 was able to hide on the ship and release all the prisoners, leading Hans, Cade, Asura, and Praxon to perform an escape attempt. While breaking out, Praxon observed that Hans had been visited by Barak Dakens, but Hans merely told him that Praxon wouldn't believe who Barak was if he told him. The escape went smoothly until just before its completion, at which point Decien captured the entire group and took them into the heart of the station. There, Decien revealed his studies of the Shadow Assassins and plans to resurrect Ganner, and Praxon vowed to defeat him. Decien succeeded in doing so, but Ganner broke free of his control and aided the group to escape for real before being separated from them.

Not long after the escape, Hans went with Antimatter Squadron to Dantooine and enlisted Galen's help, promising him that he could keep Vara safe due to favors groups from his upbringing still owed him.

Personality and Traits
Praxon had never been a particularly sympathetic person, and gladly worked with Dylan, a manipulative crime lord, killing his targets for good money. However, Praxon did hold grudges, and when he was forced to join Antimatter Squadron the Brotherhood lost his favor. He came to care for Asura during their time together, and held regret over his inability to stop himself from shooting her on the Exarch.

Praxon did not originally want to be connected to DX-245, but as time passed he became used to it. The two were exceptional in combat when paired together and quickly proved to be a huge asset to Antimatter Squadron. Additionally, when paired with DX, Praxon began to speak less, allowing the droid to speak for the both of them instead.

Praxon was a superb fighter even solo and skilled in demolitions, which made him ideal for rescuing Cade and assassinating Dani. Over time, Praxon also learned to fight as part of a unit with Antimatter Squadron.
