Geist Weiss

"With order comes chaos. With chaos comes destruction. With destruction comes death. With death comes new order. This seems to be the way of the Sith. When we organize ourselves, we strive for conquest, creating chaos in our wake. This chaos destroys civilizations, cultures, whole armies. In this destruction breeds death. For one to live, another must die. It's a common law of nature. Plants eat the energy given by the sun. Herbivores eat the plants. Carnivores eat the herbivores. And we, sentinel beings, devour the carnivores. Not only the carnivores, but the weak as well. We, the gifted, have the power as gods over the lesser people."

- Geist Weiss

Geist Weiss was a Sith Marauder and Alchemist of the resurgent Sith Empire. He was born on Empress Teta, hailing from the House of Weiss, one of the political rivals of the House of Es Cade, the royal bloodline. Before his Force sensitivity was recognized and acknowledged, Geist spent a lot of time in the Sage Halls of Empress Teta, reading up on the Force, something that facinated him. Geist was apprenticed to a named Lebon Schwarz, a prominent Sith Alchemist, training at Yavin IV and later the Emperor's Fist.

Geist would eventually master Sith alchemist by the time he reached the rank of Marauder, surpassing even his former master, Lebon, in alchemy. Geist would go on to work on many projects, chiefly Project Saligia, creating several Sithspawn and weapons. When not busy with work, Geist trained apprentices, though not always revealing the secrets to Sith alchemy. His skill with Sith alchemy gained him a reputation as an "artist" and even made him a candidate for Sith Lord, which he refused, believing it would distract him from his "art".

Early life
"I'm not erasing my past, I'm opening up the possibilites for my future."

- Geist Weiss to Lebon Schwarz

Geist Weiss believed that the past dragged people down, causing them to miss oppurtunities and chances in life. When he joined the Sith, he worked hard to erase most of the traces of his past. The only known surviving records are in the possession of the House of Es Cade. As such, most of his past is shrouded in mystery.

What is known is that Geist was born on the world of Empress Teta sometime before Darth Judicar became Dark Lord of the Sith. His father had been the Lord of Weiss, one of the ruling nobles on Empress Teta. It is believed that as a child, Geist spent a lot of time in the Sage Halls of Empress Teta, reading up on the Jedi. Geist never joined the New Jedi Order due to personal beliefs that if one could use the Force, they should use it whenever they wanted to.

Geist's father was upset about Geist's decision not to join the Sith. Geist had developed an ego over his Force sensitivity and was baffled why his father wanted to order him around. His father wasn't Force sensitive, so Geist didn't believe his father had the the right to choose his fate. While arguing with his father, Geist accidently flung his father out a window, in which the Lord of Weiss's body painted the ground below red. Geist was shocked by two things. First, he was shocked about what he had done, not meaning to throw his father. The second was that he found himself caring little that his father, one not 'chosen', died.

Fleeing Empress Teta and Finding the Sith
"Power. Such an interesting concept. Power seems to be the motivation for the Sith of all ages. Power is always good to have, as long as two things are done: not getting too greedy which results in betrayal, and not being too paranoid that you take out useful people in attempts to keep power."

- Geist Weiss answering Lebon Schwarz about the Sith's view on power.

Geist knew he couldn't stay on Empress Teta. Emperor Caye Es Cade may have hated the Lord of Weiss, but he respected him. Geist didn't stand a chance if he was caught. Thus, he immediately cashed in as much as he could and stole his father's space yachyt, Teta's Pride. He fled into the one place he knew would not judge him for his interests in the Force: Sith Space. It took him some time before he found Sith on a space station called Lacrima. From there he was transferred to the Sith academy on Ziostwhere for the next few years Geist trained in the ways of Sith alchemy, an art Geist felt best suited with. It was around this time that he developed the technique that hid his appearance. Due to his love for using illusions and Doppelgangers, he was sometimes nicknamed the White Ghost.
