Demonicor

"You are my prime achievement; once the jedi's shining star, now their bane!"

- Lord Kantuun to Demonicor

Demonicor, born Dekor Setha, was a legendary sith who helped defend against the Republic.

He was exiled from the, after they discovered his deep fascination with Revan. This was something the Order could no longer allow to continue. His decline into the dark side was evident to them. Exiled he continued his search for any mysteries of Revan. These mysteries eventually found him the Sith. Unlike the Jedi, they quickly embraced him. During his days as a Sith he continously rose in the ranks. Until he took direct orders from the Council.

After challenge under the Dark Councils bidding he would find himself on the Council. Though it did not happen over night or without trial, sweat and blood. He would finally accept the title of Darth. But he did not use it grudgingly. By this time he was greatly respected by many around him.

At this point he felt the full gravity of life. He knew one way or another he would die. It frightened him. So he began his search for the secret to immortality.

After Revan was free Demonicor was the first to know. He could feel him through the force. The Emperor called on him. As he entered the chamber a few others stood waiting. He was asked to hunt down and destroy Revan. Uneasily he accepted.

With this group of others they hunted down Revan. Here he was, finally, before his eyes. Revan pleaded with them to help him stop the Emperor. But before he could declare his answer a fight broke out. Revan's powers proved formidable, but in the end they managed to weaken him. As they closed in, Revan quoted the last words of Malak, saying that he now understood how he had felt back on the Star Forge. But before the final blow could be struck, Revan disappeared in a flash of light. Not a trace of him could be found.

Wide eyed a secret grin spread over his face under his mask. No longer could he feel Revan. The Emperor was very unsatisfied as they told him. Demonicor stepped down from the Dark Council. He needed time to think about what Revan had said.

Biography
"Do not ask me to tell you about my life. In its many twists and turns there is always one suffocating theme, pain!"

- Demonicor to Nassor

Birth
"The doctor said I was a medical miracle. To my mother, I was just another thing she might sell to get her fix!"

- Demonicor

Driss Setha gave birth to a child named Dekor Setha. She had a deep addiction to. Because of this the child was born addicted to them, a displayed symptom of his different eye colors. He was malnourished and ran a severely high temperature, so much so that the mother nearly died of hyperthermia upon delivery.

Early life (3,664-3,649 BBY)
Up until ten years old he had daily medical visits for seizures. By age eleven his supposed father came to stay with them (indefinitely). This man was no more than street trash and it was very apparent. Around this time is when the physical abuse started.

His only real friend was a next door neighbor named Dran Frell. He was from the same background, but his father would sexually abuse him. Around sixteen there friendship would come to an end, not out of anger or deceit but death. They were forced to fight each other to the death. Both their parents bet on their children.

After 20 minutes of fighting the crowd roared with approval, as Dekor bashed his best friends skull in. Tears ran quick as blood.

His parents deaths were every bit intentional. Later he would remark that he enjoyed it above all things he knew then.

Life on the Streets (3,648 BBY)
For a whole year he survived on the streets, doing the best he could to make a bad situation better.

Apprenticeship (3,647-3,646 BBY)
"Dekor was an odd but exceptional student. In all my years I never saw anything like him. I think his years with the jedi did him some good. If things went differently he would still be with us...a paragon...an heir to the light side."

- Thursa Kour talking about Dekor into a holocron



The Knighthood Debacle
He was to be a full fledged. The knighting ceremony was soon. Someone had broken into his room and written on his mirror: "I know what you did." This greatly disturbed him as he knew exactly what they meant. They knew about the death of his parents and how they died. He had only one choice, to hunt them down secretly. If the found out he would be ruined.

He was sent on a mission to negotiate with. When he arrived the negotiations were over and a note was left for him: "Blood is on your hands jedi." After Thrubasa gives him a brief description of the man, he searched for him. But he was called back to the temple.

After reporting back to the council, Thursa introduces him to a man named Thal. It was him someone from his past. He was the one and he knew everything.

Banishment and Relinquishment (3635 BBY)
"If only Dekor would have fought harder to stay, if he fought at all. I heard he was to be a grandmaster soon."

- An unknown jedi.

Found for Darkness
He did not find the sith, the sith found him. Having found them he traveled to Korriban to be trained. It was Darth Thren who became his master.

The Forbidden Planet
After nearly a month in wild space he returned to Nar Shaddaa in a destroyed ship. But he was not himself, Demonicor returned as something else. Personalities ruled as one in his body. Most of his memories were distant and he referred to himself as: we and us.

This planet was then under the jurisdiction of the jedi. With his stop at the cantina he got into a fight with them. He was quickly outmatched. They captured and brought him to trial at Tython. This would prove as a bad decision because he was then with the. All of them secretly stormed the Tyrel Temple under the direct order of the Emperor.

Meanwhile as he stood trial a host of senators, troops and jedi took the preceding. Five of his old masters were there to negotiate the terms. They decided to cripple his connection to the force, just as had been done to Ulic Qel-Droma. Just then the Eternal Legion burst into the room fighting back the jedi and troops.

They overcame a few narrow situations and were extracted. It came with the death of three of the Eternal Legion. They landed on Korriban where the Emperor wanted to talk to him personally. The palace was heavily guarded. Taking the elevator up he meets him. When the Emperor remarks on a previous mission, he cannot recall. It is quickly discovered that his amnesia runs deep.

The Emperor resorts to prying through his mind, yet not even he can open the doors fully. One piece of information is received, a planet called Mortis. Demonicor vaguely recalled the name, knowing only it was the key to understand why this has happened.

He and a select few of the Eternal Legion went after this planet. There arrival was not a welcome one. The ship was nearly shot down. They had to fight through the forest. Eventually they would find the Helacron Temple. It was like no other made of crystal convergence technology, in effect it was a giant holocron.

As they drew near it burned bright with the images of countless long dead Jedi and Sith.

A Reaver and A Demon
For a time, Demonicor became involved in an intense relationship with a named Reaver. A, Demonicor first met Reaver on Dromund Kaas during his quiet meditative walk through the wild jungle that separated from the spaceport nearby. , a  and rival to, had sent numerous acolytes all vying for his favor, along with his  bodyguards, to ensure that Reaver and her companion (unaware at the time) would never arrive in Kaas City. It took little time for the Sith to mobilize themselves, attacking the duo as they traveled towards the city, driving her into the untamed regions of the world while her companion (the pair having been in a race between one another at the time) sped on without her, totally unaware of the events that had transpired.

Fortunately for Reaver, Demonicor, skulking through the jungle, was quick to join the fray, assisting her in escape when she came into his sight. His assistance earned him the unwelcome attention of Skotia, who, upon hearing of Demonicor's involvement, soon sent more eager students of the dark side into the wilds to find and kill the them.

It was three days before the Sith finally began to give up, realizing they would not find the duo. Cleverly, Demonicor had located a cave beneath a waterfall which concealed them during the Sith's hunting. On the third night, Demonicor, realizing that Reaver could benefit him in his desire for power, seduced the young apprentice. Alone together and with time to pass, the pair consummated their relationship, making their way to Kaas City on the dawn of the fourth day.

With the Sith resigned to the assumption that they would not find the pair, only a few enemies remained in their path, all of whom were no match for Demonicor's fury. Upon reaching Kaas City, Reaver and Demonicor parted ways, Reaver stating that, while she would like to spend more time with him, she was already lagging behind in her mission. With a single, alluring kiss, Reaver walked away from Demonicor, headed for the Imperial Citadel.

Unfathomably Weightless
"You want to be like Revan, then share his loss."

- Nightfire to Demonicor

Nightfire betrayed him and gives him an amnesia solution. He was lost in a world he could not remember. Unable to remember his deep painful life he was freed of his burden. All of the tormented memories were destroyed.

He worked on odd jobs. He was free to be anybody. Elsewhere those he left behind were having a hard time adjusting to his vanishment. Even the sith gather friends. Those of his closes friends gathered a detachment to find him.

A year passed without success. During that time Dekor had fallen in love with a young woman.

Rumors and Death
Many rumors float around this man, some think he is Revan, nonsense. However one rumor persists above all others. Demonicor was buried on Deralia. Decades later the tomb would be uncovered but the body would not. It was nowhere to be found. Could it have been moved? Or is Demonicor still out there somewhere?

In his last days Demonicor searched religiously for ancient Force artifacts. Could he have found something to keep him alive all this time? Could an ancient Old Republic Sith still be walking around? To convolute this story is the fact that some Sith confess to have been trained by Demonicor. What does this mean? Are they using this name to still strike fear into the republic? Or could this figure be hiding, gathering an army to bring back to the jedi?

The exact cause of his death has remained a mystery. Some suggest that he was cut down, like so many others, by the apprentice. Others think he died from old age. However his exact age has always been undetermined.

During Demonicor's time only a very select few knew the secret to sustaining life. One of them was their Emperor. A man who survived the Great Hyperspace War. We know that on more than one occasion they met. Would the Emperor give one of his greatest secrets away? It seems highly unlikely.

We uncovered Demonicor's holocron, the content is staggering at best. He knew much more than he let on, that much is certain. But, again, would he know enough to seemingly halt death?

Personality and Traits
"What is it about Revan you find so fascinating?"

- Vornass

"Everything. He came from nothing and was able to gain all. Once I surpass him I will have gained true power."

- Demonicor

He has always been a good strategist and tactician. Demonicor was in constant struggle with who he was.

"What life can a Sith have after hate? When our will is utterly spent how can we go back to what we were? You will never see us as farmers or bartenders. We Sith can never escape our fate. We can only press forward, glibly, to our very bitter end."

- Demonicor

Uzlagna
"I may be the only one to remember Uzlagna!"

- Demonicor

Reaver
He has had an off and on relationship with her.

Evxa-Uun
"I have constant dreams of a Sith far into the future. I know he can feel me."

- Demonicor

Demonicor had constant dreams of a Sith far into the future. However these dreams were not one sided, Evxa-Uun could feel him too. Soon the dreams would blend into waking life and it was hard for them both to remember where they were.

"Who are you?"

- Evxa-Uuna

"I am Demonicor a hand of the Sith council."

- Demonicor

"YOU are Demonicor? That is impossible."

- Evxa-Uuna says with much exaspiration

Evxa would manipulate the opportunity and Demonicor would become his master.

Exal Kressh
"She was my apprentice but she was also my lover."

- Demonicor

They were so close that she was actually engaged to him. However moments before the wedding he disappeared. This was not his fault as he was kidnapped. However months later when he was free he went to see her. She had a new life, he decided to let her live it and think him dead.

Why? Maybe he knew that she would be better off. Or maybe he just wanted her to have a better life. If only it rested here. If only she did have a happily life and never saw her again. But I am affraid there is much more to tell.

Darth Haos
Was one of his greatest friends.

Lightsabers
Once for a very short time, he utilized a rayth saber. It is a four sided weapon with an optional handlebar attachment. The style is similar to an umbrella. This weapon was very problematic. It was heavy and not very fluid, but it scared his enemies fiercely. On more than one occasion he tore apart multiple jedi with one swing.



Now he carries one lightsaber with an obsidian blade. Originally the blade was green but he dismissed it and the popular red crystals. The black crystal is rare and was given to him by the Sith Emperor himself.

Lightsaber Combat
Demonicor was above average with a lightsaber. What made him exceptional was his unorthodox methods with the weapon. He would lure his opponents into thinking he was a weak fighter. Then when the battle seemed won he would induce a frenzy of powerful and deadly and hybrid methods. He was always seeking to mask his true skill. On one occasion he outright dueled another Sith, it seemed an even match, until Demonicor proved him wrong. It is hard to say just how impressive his skills were.

He was proficient at Jar'Kai, Trakata, Lus-ma, Form V: Shien/Djem So, as well as Juyo.

Powers and Abilities
"Careful for this wolf may be a krayt dragon."

Behind the scenes
Demonicor was created by C. R. Powers. The name Demonicor can mean many things such as "demonic" or "demon icor." This was not intended when the character was created.

"When you are young the scariest person in your life can be your father. I think I bring those memories into Demonicor's character. No my dad was not some horrible person, no he never beat me but the fear was there. I like to think this character is made of: my dad, Jeffery Dahmer, Marilyn Manson, and Ra's al Ghul."

- C. R. Powers

Originally, Demonicor was made on a SWTOR Sith guild site called The Eternal Legion. He was played as an overpowered character. He once destroyed a whole battlefield and hundreds of troops. Afterward, he got on his ship and transferred his essence into a clone, as the original body was destroyed. Later, he would be defined and pulled away from the god-modding aspect of role-playing.

"He may be bad and dark but he is not evil. There is a distinction in knowing of bad people, and the fictitious idea of pure evil. That being said he does have a heart and he does feel real emotions."

- C. R. Powers

The creator ended up having arguments with The Eternal Legion, then renamed the Crimson Sunset, and eventually left.

"When does a man stop being a man and embody an idea? Where is the fine line? How do you know when it is crossed? How does a person become what he is? All of these questions are answered with Demonicor."

- C. R. Powers

C. R. Powers created this character to be a person people knew would turn to the dark side. He is a psychological character and is intended to be a mix of all the things that can go wrong in a persons life. That way, when someone sees him turn to the dark side, the author's intension is that the reader has a deep sense of understanding and emotional ties. The core of the character's story suggests that no one intends to become a bad person, but sometimes it is chosen for them.

"When you see movies the good guy always has to win. What would happen if it was the reverse? No not some heroistic bad guy, I mean a bad guy. A man who is more like Lex Luthor or Frieza than Batman or Vegeta. A man who does not know what is good or bad anymore. A man who only knows he has to carve and slash his way to the top."

- C. R. Powers
