Pretentieux

Pretentieux was a Male Treme who was sent to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to train in the ways of a Jedi. It was there that he was bestowed with the cognomen Ieux by his classmates. He was trained to be a Jedi historian under the great Hestroge. Ieux would be knighted the day his master tragically died on Doc. Vowing to countinue his master's legacy, Ieux took on his own padawan, a Human woman by the name of Shrayle Vellstar. Pretentieux and Shrayle became close of the course of her training. He began to become very affectionate toward his apprentice, to the point of romance. However, the Jedi Code forbid marriage. Therefore Ieux grew a distain for the strict Jedi laws. He believed that all being should choose their own set of laws and make decisions for themselves. Pretentieux began teaching this doctrine to Shrayle and anyone else who would listen. Before long he had gained a following. After many heated debates with the Jedi Council Ieux resigned from the Jedi Order and took his apprentices with him. He and his followers then created the Du Vranga Grata. With this new authority and power, Pretentieux began studying the ways of both the Jedi and Sith. He gain immense knowlage of the ways of the Force and used it to strengthen his power. After the Senate gave the Jedi permission to arrest him, Ieux turned to the Underworld Coalition for help. He took a seat on the Brethrens' Court and expanded the Grata's illegal profits. However, looking for further gain, he impeached Fodor and proclaimed himself Overlord of the Underworld. He would keep that title until Muggera and Mandy Bathsheeba assassinated him in 32 BBY.
