Albedo Apeiron

Albedo Apeiron was a Crusader of the Bogan Empire during the early days of the First Hutt War of 12,980 BBY. When the Bogan Empire captured Conscio and began its campaign against the Galactic Republic, Albedo became one of the chief propagandists for the Bogan religion that portrayed Banik Kelrada and other Bogan Imperials as deities. After the Battle of Noob Hill and interrogated by the Jedi, Albedo self-exiled himself.

Albedo suffered from a chronic illness, which occasionally led to him having "fits", generally seizures. Albedo was also inflicted with albinism.

Early life
Albedo Apeiron was born on Obroa-skai in 13,000 BBY, shortly after the Battle of Obroa-skai. Albedo lived in comfort on the frozen planet until he and his parents went on a safari at Myrkr. An accident occured on the planet, in which both parents died. Albedo was injured, half of his face cut.

Albedo would have surely died had he not been rescued by an Ospion Guardians. Albedo was dazzled in how the Ospion Guardian used the Force to heal his injuries. This fixation would lead to an obsession over the Force, a greed to learn all he could.

For ten years, Albedo lived with his godparents on Obroa-skai. His skills allowed him to excel in his studies. Obroa-skai was home to a vast database on Force research, which Albedo accessed numerous times. However, he found that learning from a file and learning from a teacher were two seperate things.

Raison D'être
Albedo decided that it was time to join a faction that dealt with the Force. While the Jedi Order seemed promising, Albedo concluded that the Jedi Order would try to hinder his research, forbidding certain practices. Thus, Albedo found himself joining the Dark Jedi of the Bogan. Here, under Katarn Caboath's tutilage, Albedo practiced the ways of the Force. It was quickly apparent to Albedo that his talent rested in research rather than combat. For two months, Albedo trained on Ando Prime.

Battle of Ando Prime
After receiving several reports of the Bogan stronghold, the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order organized an attack on Ando Prime, the secret Bogan capital. However, unknown to them, most of the cult had moved to Conscio. Albedo, having returned from assassinating an anti-Bogan activist, had been conversing with Crusader Dezmonariero Nnitrilyaje, who was planetside, when Albedo's ship, the Ragnarok, picked up a strange ship owned by a person claiming to be an agent of the Bogan. While Albedo allowed the newcomer to pass, Albedo conveyed his suspicions to Dezmonariero.

However, while the newcomer would be revealed as a Jedi Master, Albedo was unable to do anything. Soon after Haar landed, the Republic's 15th Fleet arrived, vastly outnumbering the Bogan forces at Ando Prime. Albedo, in panic, fled the system in time and flew to the nearest Hutt-controlled planet to notify the Hutt Empire, whom was allied with the Dark Cult of the Bogan]], of the Republic's attack. Albedo's warning would allow the Hutts to arrive at Ando Prime earlier than the Republic expected and with the aide of the Jade Armada, the Hutt fleet decimated the 15th Fleet.

Liberation of Tae
Since the Dark Jedi of the Bogan were under communications silence, Albedo was left with the Hutts for a month. During that time, he accompanied a member of Darksaber Squadron, a unit from the Dark Cult of the Bogan under the control of the Hutts, to Tae'Sha. While meeting with the Templar King, a joint operation by the Republic and Jedi ruined the negociations, forcing Albedo and the Darksaber to flee.

When Albedo and the Darksaber returned from Tae'Sha, they were taken to a rendezvous point where the Dark Jedi of the Bogan retrieved them, bringing them to Conscio.

Age of the Gods
Albedo would play a pivetal role in the establishment of the Bogan religion on Conscio and Ziost, portraying the Dark Jedi of the Bogan as gods. When Banik Kelrada transformed the Dark Jedi of the Bogan, Albedo remained, eventually being promoted to the rank of Crusader.

Battle of Noob Hill and Aftermath
When the Bogan Empire decided to make a stand at Noob Hill on Ruan, Albedo accompanied the three member team. His job was to document the battle and use it as propaganda to take trust from the Jedi Order. However, the Bogan team was overpowered by the Jedi. Albedo tried to help one of his teammates but the Jedi Knight used Albedo's attack to kill Albedo's comrade. Albedo was eventually knocked out by the same Jedi Knight after surrendering.

After the war, Albedo found himself prisoner to the Jedi, being interrogated by Samanya Winter. Despite his attempts to play mind games, the Cathar Jedi grew tired of the annoyance and began torturing Albedo for information. Weak-willed, Albedo spilled the location of Ziost in exchange for asylum. Having betrayed the Bogan Empire, Albedo self-exiled himself after the Jedi freed him.

Personality and traits
Albedo was the type of person who acted arrogant and laid back but was actually very cowardly. Having no pride, Albedo was fine with retreating or surrendering, seeing no point in fighting a meaningless battle just because of philosophies and ego. He was more docile than the other Bogan followers, finding little meaning in executing subordinates for failure; rather, he promoted that the subordinates learn from their failures. Despite being a Dark Jedi, Albedo found little care towards Bogan or Ashla, only caring for his research. Asocial, Albedo normally was unsure how to act in front of others, resulting in him constantly smiling, regardless of the situation.

Albedo's biggest flaw was his obsession for knowledge. He would risk almost anything, with the exception of his life, which he cared for more than even information, to gain new information. This reason led Albedo to the path of the Dark Side, believing the Jedi would try to hinder his pursuit of knowledge.

Powers and abilities
While average when it came to hand-to-hand combat, Albedo prefers to focus with Force abilities. Due to his pursuit of knowledge, Albedo quickly mastered Drain Knowledge and Force Persuasion. While knowing basic Force techniques such as telekinesis, telepathy, and Force Sense, Albedo was proficient in Force Lightning and Force Alchemy.

Behind the scenes
Albedo Apeiron is one of the main characters used by author Dmitri Valentine, otherwise known as Weiss, onTheStarWarsRP.Com. As Weiss' first character on TheStarWarsRP.com, Weiss portrayed Albedo with more lax nature, almost to the point of a comical relief. A continual gag with Albedo surviving all battles with little injuries due to surrendering or retreating. Albedo was under consideration to be a Kenny McCormick-like character, dying off in each story he appeared in, but this gag would ultimately be used on characters named Barrel.
