STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
+ Textbook Prodigy: Amseth was run through the gauntlet of some of the best and brightest scholars that the Sith had to offer. His educational pedigree is virtually impeccable, and his knowledge of various galactic subjects is virtually encyclopedic. In particular, he understands the entire Imperial legal system perfectly, and knows the law inside and out.
+ Only Degrees of Guilt: Amseth's brilliant intellect is in many ways built on his perceptiveness and critical thinking. With only a bit of simple observation and deduction, Amseth can locate the flaws in virtually anyone, and figure out how in some way, they violated Imperial Law.
+ Always a Contingency: Amseth's remarkable intellect and perceptiveness thus make him a master strategist, someone who can always plan three steps ahead and predict almost any sort of complication and counter it. His prosecutions in particular are airtight and virtually infallible, with every possible defense countered.
+/- Boyish Charm: Amseth's relatively young age for someone of his position makes him relatively notable among fellow Sith. While many are enthralled and attracted to his compelling personality and considerable intellect, others find him obnoxious, bordering on unbearable.
+/- High Hopes: Amseth is ambitious. His great degree of achievement is only the beginning for him, and he intends to only achieve more and more in his life. Everything and everyone are expendable in Amseth's quest for more power and greatness. And of course, nothing quite paints a target on a Sith's back like ambition...
- Before the Fall: Amseth's primary weakness is his arrogance and pride. He refuses to admit defeat since he's hardly ever known it. He believes that everything is a challenge that he will overcome, all defeats merely temporary setbacks. It also makes him bizarrely stubborn: while he's remarkably flexible in terms of his standings, he only commits to his new principles due to his own will, not anyone elses's suggestion.
- A Boy's Best Friend: Amseth's mother, the Countess of Typho, was never a particularly large part of his life, and that maternal absence bleeds into his general cold and callous nature. Indeed, one of Amseth's prime "achievements" was prosecuting and sentencing his own mother to death for a plot against his father.
- And His Dad, Too: The previous Count Typho, Darth Amortem, was hardly a major player in Amseth's childhood, only existing as the cold disciplinarian and authority figure. It created a strained and distant relationship between them, and much of Amseth's ambition lies in the complex over his father never being satisfied with his early achievements.
BIOGRAPHY
As he entered his old age, it dawned upon the crippled Count Rand of Typho, Darth Amortem, that he would require an heir. Agents of the noble house were dispatched across the Count's home planet of Serenno and even into the rest of Sith Space to find a suitable woman to sire Amortem's future heir. A high midichlorian count and noble birth were required, as well as a genetic history that was free from deformities and showed a trend of high intelligence. After several months, a suitable candidate for breeding was found with Baroness Nora of the House of Espereth. The Baroness was brought into the company of the much more influential and powerful count, arrangements were made that included Nora abdicating her title to her younger brother, and the two were quickly married. Not long after that, Nora was impregnated, and Amseth Tycho was eventually born.
From the moment of his birth, Amseth was marked by his father Rand for "greatness". The Count separated his son from his mother (who, no longer being useful, he kept as prisoner) and focused intently on his education. The best tutors from around the galaxy were brought in to bring Young Amseth up to speed intellectually. Likewise, various Sith figures were heavily involved in ensuring that Amseth's specifically-selected power was being brought up to its full potential. Indeed, Amseth was nurtured in every way except the emotional way, with the Count being a distant and detached Father, who hardly praised or celebrated his son. And this isolation and detatchement caused Amseth to turn inwards, doubling down on his studies and training.
The end result of Amseth's deprivation-induced rigor was a prodigious performance. When he entered institutes of higher learning, Amseth excelled far and beyond his peers, standing out as a knowledgeable and intelligent student. His masterful understanding of the law and his powerful, well-rehearsed oratory skills impressed everyone around him, and he stood out as a Sith without peer. In virtually no time at all he became an agent of the Sith High Court, and eventually the youngest ever Adjudicator. His academic rigor became professional, and he became a brutal and ruthless prosecutor who brought down the hammer of the law with stunning efficiency.
Meanwhile, Amseth's training as a member of the Brotherhood of Sith under his father progressed quite well, even as his family life simultaneously deteriorated. A bitter, rancorous rivalry grew between apprentice and master, as the Lord of Grudges pushed his son further and further and was more and more demanding and heartless. The divide between the two was made worse when the elder Typho callously annulled his marriage and sent his wife away to live with her family. Amseth became only more isolated and alone, and the darkness inside him festered and grew over time. He became more powerful and more skilled, but more and more emotionally scarred and distant.
All of this came to a head with Amseth's final trial, his ascendancy into knighthood. His mother Nora, had made an alliance with her successor and sister Baroness Amata of House Espereth to revenge herself against the cruel Count who abducted her. Aware of the plot through his own dark clairvoyance, Darth Amortem approached the Court, and arranged for Amseth to be assigned the operation to bring the conspirators to justice. Unaware of his mother's role in the plot, Amseth spearheaded the operation, and personally arrested and imprisoned all parties involved. Overseeing the prosecution, Amseth held everyone on charges of treason, sentencing all parties involved to death. It was not until after he had already overseen the execution of his long-absent mother that his father divulged her identity to him. What remained of any sort of compassion or sympathy in Amseth died on the spot, leaving only a cold, calculating, and cutthroat agent of the law. Darth Amortem was pleased: he had finally reshaped his son in his own image.
Amseth was rewarded handsomely upon ascending to knighthood, his father arranging strings to make him one of the more favored and influential Adjudicators in the Empire. More importantly, the court entrusted him with the extremely important Project Clemency, the Court's secret project. Amseth took over the project and applied his notorious diligence and rigor to managing it. Soon, the project was ready to be debuted, under budget and ahead of schedule, but with better results than anyone could have hoped for...
