Darth Nexus

"He was quick to anger, and very well versed in the subtleties of the force. He could make you wish for death a thousand times over."

- Attributed to Darth Nexus

Darth Nexus was a Sith Lord, and Dark Lord of The Sith from 3,846 BBY to 3,842 BBY. He was born Néron Yen, and raised on the planet Achillea. Néron’s family belonged to the noble House Cadriaan, and was a low ranking noble family on Achillea. He grew up in the capital city of Cadriell, where his family controlled the furniture market. He was the youngest of three children to be born into the Yen family.

House Cadriaan was notorious for its mafioso style of government, and at the age of thirteen the Yen branch of the House was slaughtered, and Néron was captured. He was sent to a boarding school, where he would not be able to reveal the crime committed against the Yen family. He harboured his anger until he was sixteen years old, when he snapped and killed three fellow students. To further ensure he kept silent, he was sent to a prison facility on Ryloth, well away from Cadriaan affairs.

Néron would be sold into the service of crime lord Tald`alkina, a brutal Twilek, who resided in the massive city of Kala'uun. He served the crime lord for four years, before winning his freedom in a gladiatorial battle, in honour of the crime lord. After that, he travelled to Coruscant to talk to the Jedi about his newly discovered force capabilities. He was turned away from the Jedi, and he made his way to Korriban to make contact with the Sith.

He was taken on as an Acolyte of the Sith at the age of twenty, and spent the rest of his years serving the mighty order. Through a number of chance events occurring, and the fusion of an ancient Sith Lord would propel Néron to a powerful Sith Lord, Darth Nexus, in a matter of only one galactic year. He served as Apprentice to the Dark Lord Nefarius for approximately six months, before the Dark Lord all but vanished, leaving the throne vacant for Darth Nexus to claim.

Darth Nexus would be known as the Jidai’kor. Which meant Jediless in the ancient Sith Language. For as long as Nexus lived, he did not slay a single Jedi. His focussed almost completely on internal affairs of the Sith Empire, and spent most of his time uncovering ancient teachings of the Sith, and refining the teachings of future Sith.

Life as a Child
Nexus was born Néron Yen. Born on the rich planet of Achillea, Néron was raised the spoilt, privileged kid of a noble family. Néron’s family was part of the coalition of noble families in the Tapani Sector who ruled over the Cadriaan Province. The Yen family lived and operated out of the capital of the Cadriaan Province, Cadriell. They ran the distribution of Achillea’s furniture, which was in high demand among the Core Worlds and other rich systems. As such, the Yen family was considerably rich, and held substantial power of House Cadriaan.

Néron received private tutoring from one of the most celebrated scholars the Republic had, Hipparus of Sereno. Hipparus taught Néron mainly philosophy, business, and economics. However, Néron was most interested in the cosmic phenomena known as the Force. As such, Hipparus tutored Néron on the speculated origins, nature, and organizations devoted to the Force. This was the first ‘contact’ Néron had with the Sith. At first, Néron detested the Sith. His teacher was very biassed, as most members of the Republic were, of the Sith, and so Néron did not learn of the ‘true’ Sith for many, many years.

House Cadriaan was notorious for its Mafioso style of government. And at the age of thirteen, Néron’s life was torn apart by the assassination of the Yen family. The plot to assassinate Néron’s family was organized by the Wennel family, a smaller member of House Cadriaan. The Wennel sent their personal guard to the Yen estate, where they infiltrated the ranks of the Yen’s much larger guard. They slipped into the sleeping quarters, and slit the throats of the Yen family. Néron, through luck or act of god, was spared the fate of the rest of his family. He was away from the estate at the time. He had travelled with Hipparus to Coruscant, where he was to see the Jedi Temple. Upon his return, Hipparus himself was assassinated, and Néron was captured, shipped off to Ryloth under the guise of a murderer, charged with killing three students at a private school.
