Elias Krieger

"My old master told me that the Jedi create light and cast it. They believe it is for the greater good, and that balance will be brought to the force in this trial of theirs. However, he said that the Sith, ever since the fall of a great dark lord, have only ever operated in two. That they fed off the dark, which is already there, a shadow cast by the light. That does not sound like balance to me. The force is fighting back, and not against the so called dark side"

- Elias, The Judicator

Elias Krieger was a force sensitive human that served the Galactic Republic, up until it’s destruction at the hands of Darth Vader. Born in 50 BBY to an unknown couple, Elias was taken in by the jedi when he was discovered to be force sensitive. He trained under the champion of the Jedi Order, Mace Windu, for some time. Eventually their relationship grew sour, and they saw little of each other when the young Krieger became a knight. Elias had no ambition within the Jedi, and grew disdainful of his order and while not exactly vocal about his grievance, he never denied it. He held the belief of peace above all else, and was not one to easily condone violence. Despite this, he was a famed warrior of incredible prowess with a light saber and the force, adopting the use of Vaapad from his former master. He was also an adept and even masterful user of the other forms of lightsaber combat, but favored Vaapad, a testament to his confidence and inner anger.

Krieger was a true anarchist and an advocate of natural rights, and thought that all beings should open their arms to the biggest minority of them all, the individual. He did not believe in the Jedi way nor did he give the Sith credit for their raw power. Balance of the force was not order in his mind, and order was in all ways evil. Balance was an understanding deep within one’s self, a testimony to freedom and peace. A Universe that needed order for peace was a child having a tantrum. His philosophy alarmed many in the Council and the Republic, and as his notoriety and his philosophy grew, they thought to silence him. However, Grand Master Yoda convinced the split council not to part from each other, and kept them at peace. The Republic was unable to condemn him as well, for Elias had broken no laws and never behaved violently. Nevertheless, Elias continued to belittle the Jedi in their involvement in the Clone Wars, and advocated the Separatists right to secede. He did fight in the Clone wars, based purely on the fact that the enemy of the Republic had struck first and attempted violent insurrection.

After the Fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of Emperor Palpatine, Krieger actively fought against the empire and attempted countless times to peacefully liberate colonies and worlds. It would seem nothing could sway his beliefs, and he was soon a champion of the people. He was no friend to the rebel Alliance, condemning them for what he saw as nothing more than a new order. He did work with them on occasion, and often swayed men to his cause of liberty. Eventually, he was accused of being an extremist, but left on peaceful terms. This was not the end of it, and many a time rebel assassins fell to him. He simply refused to compromise any of his morals, no matter how dire the situation was.

Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was a close friend, as was Grandmaster Yoda. He had known young Anakin Skywalker, and thought little of his brash nature and arrogance, but saw promise. When he met Ashoka Tano, he said “The pupil is the superior mind.”

One cannot speak of peace and the liberation of all kind without notice of the Dark Order of the Sith, and throughout the reigning years of the Galactic Empire, the Emperor attempted to hunt him down. However, where Palpatine saw only an extremist that needed put down, Vader saw a potential ally. Krieger and Vader would cross sabers many times, neither being able to sway the other. Vader would miscalculate every time, offering power and the throne of the galaxy. Elias could never truly tap into Vader’s ethics; the latter having abandoned his former morals.

The legendary warrior would eventually vanish sometime after the destruction of the original Death Star, his work incomplete. Last seen by dark Jedi Kal D’Jin and the young Luke Skywalker.

Personaility and Traits
Elias Krieger was a man with passion and pure conviction. Throughout his life, Krieger found himself at odds with the idea of a moral high order, the rightfulness of power, and the respect of the common being. His kind demenour and way with words had a certain charm on the people of the galaxy, and had a profound impact on the Skywalker twins and the ancient Yoda. He always spoke with purpose, his voice carried far in a deep yet subtle baritone. He was not hard to look upon either, his eyes were a dark blue, almost mistaken to be black if not for the way light often caught it. He was a bronze skinned giant as well, his mixed ethnicity given him a golden-olive appearance, matching his hair's locks and curlets of gold. Elias stood exceptionally tall and was broad as a doorway, his frame artistically muscled.
