Born to parents in the economic administration at Ravelin on the Sith fortress world of Bastion, Castam Felian was a quiet child, a brooding teen, and grew to be an enigmatic man. Undeniably sharp, if a bit off-putting in his reserved quietness, Felian enlisted in the The Sith Empire's Armada and served with distinction as an ensign aboard the Behemoth II with the War Fleet Black Iron at Wayland, receiving a battlefield commission and joining the ranks of officers of the Sith Imperial Armada.
During the NIO's counterstrike at Jaemus and Dubrillon, while Felian commanded a gun aboard the HMIS Chimera, he received word of his parents' torture and death at the hands of a Sith Inquisitor on Bastion following accusations of subterfuge.
Summoned to Ravelin in the midst of battle, Felian knew the eye of the Sith had fallen upon him, and his fate had been written in the stars. Departing the Chimera, Felian commandeered the shuttle he traveled aboard at gunpoint and defected to the New Imperial Order, pledging himself as the enemy of all Force-wielders galaxy wide.
Welcomed by a New Imperial war machine eager for spacers whetted in the tactics of the Sith, Felian was made a Lieutenant Commander and assigned to the NIV Dauntless when it fell upon the Sith capital itself. In the blazing orbit of Bastion, Felian led a crew of troopers aboard Hugot Tyvek's Star Destroyer in an attempt to repulse a Sith boarding party. Left by a thermal grenade blast with a severely injured right leg and a deep red scar across his face, Felian was commended for his bravery and made promoted to commander above the wreckage of his home planet.
Unable due to injuries to continue in the gunnery commissions he had held previously, Felian was assigned to command the EF96-Nebulon A Escort frigate NIV Pers Pradeux and a small division of corvettes and deployed to anti-piracy patrols in the southern reaches of NIO space. -
Castam is tenacious and intolerant of mediocrity. Aware of his merits since his childhood, he has little patience for those of lesser skill. His world ripped apart by Sith zealots representing the empire he fought to protect, he has no love for the Sith Emperor or his agents, and has nothing but mistrust for force users of any kind.
Though he hides it moderately well, the wounds he sustained aboard the Dauntless over Bastion cause him chronic pain, and he has become even quicker to snap at those around him as a result.
A man whose rise through the ranks of the Sith and New Imperial armadas has been swift, Felian has intimate knowledge of the tactics of both powers. His loyalty to the NIO has been made firm by the Armada's embrace of him in his time of desperate need, and he serves with loyalty matched by scarce few. -
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Diverse tactical knowledge - an officer with the Sith and New Imperial armadas, he has a depth of experience unusual at his age
+ Loyal - if you can earn his trust, you have a firm friend.
+/- Tenacious - rarely backs down from a fight, even against long odds
- Uncompromising - a short fuse and little tolerance for failure makes him easy to dislike.
- Brooding - not the life of the party.
- Injured - chronic pain caused by injuries to his right leg can give way to bouts of acute agony, often taken out on those around him.
