Biography
"If you are disobeying my brother then you are disobeying the Sith Order, thereby committing treason before our great Empire itself. Indeed, treason is punishable with death, my good captain. Set course to Dromund Kaas or I shall be forced to uphold our glorious Empire’s justice system."

- Moraxx to Captain Revinal Orzik

A male Human, Moraxx Torell was born to Jedi Knights Aurus Torell and Terestria Amor, who were banished from the Jedi Order and exiled for their secret affair. Born on the Degobah system, a planet surrounded with dark side Force energy, Moraxx and his younger brother, Madrix, were raised in a hostile and dark environment. Through a series of unfortunate events, Moraxx was forced to slay his own mother, who had gone rampant from overexposure to the Dark Side of the Force and murdered her own husband. The Jedi, when they learned of the killings, moved in to take the Torell brothers into their care. Nobody would ever know what truly happened that day except for Moraxx himself, and it would haunt him forever.

The Jedi Council, sensing the boy's extraordinary sensitivity to the Force, initiated them into the Order, where they would live and train for the next two decades.

At the age of 27, Moraxx followed a mysterious voice that lured him to Dromund Kaas, where he fell to the Dark Side. Upon his return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he approached his brother, who had just completed his final trial and had become a full-fledged Jedi, and attempted to convert him to the Dark Side. Alerted and in shock, Madrix fled to tell the Council what had transpired. But before he could, Imperial warships ripped through the sky and began raining fire down on the Capitol. This event would later be known as the Sacking of Coruscant. Moraxx regretfully challenged his little brother to a duel, the winner deciding their fate. During the duel, Moraxx was damaged heavily on the right side of his face from a lightsaber strike, but ultimately came out the victor, bringing Madrix to his knees, unarmed and broken. The two left their lives as Jedi behind and set course to Korriban to become Sith.

Already fully trained Jedi, Moraxx and Madrix quickly rose through the ranks of the Sith. By the age of 35, Moraxx recieved the title of Sith Lord from his Master. Three days later, he challenged his master to a duel and slew him. Over the course of the next 10 years, Moraxx and his brother would play pivitol roles in galactic history, leading operations during the Cold War and helping to reignite the Great Galactic War. As the war went on, Moraxx and Madrix finally parted ways to pursue their own goals in the greater Galaxy. Madrix disappeared into the Unknown Regions of space and was not heard from again. Moraxx went into self-imposed exile and ruled over the old Rakatan prison ruins on the desolate planet Belsavis.

While on Belsavis, a familiar cold voice filled his mind, now more and more often. He listened to the mysterious voice that had taken him down the dark path in the first place. Then one day, a hooded figure approached his icy citadel. Moraxx demanded the figure reveal himself, and the figure obliged. Speaking into Moraxx's thoughts, the figure identified himself as "Lord Danzyron," who explained to Moraxx that he was the leader of an ultra-secretive cult called the Unknown Gods From Beyond. He revealed to Moraxx that he was the voice that guided him so long ago on Dromund Kaas, and that he was guided along his path for a reason. The Dark Side energy that drove his mother, Terestria, into a blind rage, left her body and latched itself onto Moraxx when he committed an act of evil by killing his own mother. Danzyron explained that the Degobah system was surrounded in a side of the Force that he called "The Unknown" which was said to be the product of invisible beings that lingered in the darkest and most remote regions of space. Moraxx was skeptical, but intrigued, and agreed to follow Danzyron through an ancient Gree hypergate known simply as "The Rift," which led to an unknown shadowy land called the "Void," or "Unknown Realm."

Moraxx, humbled by this new unknown power, pledged his loyalty to Lord Danzyron. He was formally initiated into the secret cult known as the Unknown Gods From Beyond on Alderaan, after a special ceremony. Moraxx decided it was time to re-enter galactic society. Over the course of the next 3 years, his power and connections would prove invaluable in advancing the esoteric order's goals, which were still somewhat of a mystery, even to it's own members. By the age of 42, Moraxx was considered one of the top ranking members of the Cult of the Unknown Gods From Beyond.
