Personality, Weaknesses, and Strengths:
Helios is little more than a being of pure hatred and evil, thanks to his harsh, severe upbringing under his parents, working for the Guild, and being broken in the process of becoming a Sith. As a member of the Sith Empire, Helios is exercising an incredible self-control of his emotions, holstering the willpower to keep silent during torture and remain calm in the midst of chaos(+). Helios may only show surprise when opponents prove more powerful or skilled than he would expect. He does not possess any arrogance, but is very confident in his knack for taking lives, fully justifies any statements he makes about his skills, and even compliments his opponents at times on their abilities.
He also displays a well noted amount of intuition, as he is almost never deceived and even then can almost instantly realize the truth(+). Due to his status in the underworld as a highly ranked assassin, having murdered his family, and his continued trade of battles as a Sith, Helios takes great enjoyment in violence and combat, but when his mission requires that a greater goal is at hand than simply death, he can instead prefer to avoid battle or, if that was not possible, end it as quickly as he possible.
Helios is amazingly agile(+) though, his natural strength is amazingly low due to his Eldorai blood(-). Using the force to amplify his strength strains him more than others, and smoking deathsticks could also be the cause of his fatigue when forced to use Force Strength(-). As would be expected, Helios carries the pride of the Eldorai on his shoulders. Naturally his people are arrogant, and even condescending at times. Amplified by Helios' emotions, it can make talking to him difficult and communication in combat can sometimes be completely dismissed by his attitude(-).
Combat, Powers, and Weapon(s):
Helios displays a reasonable amount of competence in telekinesis, as well as being able to Effectively utilize conjuration techniques like Spear of Midnight Black in combination with illusionary arts capable of granting Helios invisibility.
Helios is also a highly skilled lightsaber duelist, utilizing a single lightsaber or a double-bladed lightsaber staff and also having been taught by his parents in the arts of Juyo which draw heavily on volatile emotions and the dark side. Helios only devotes himself to Form VII's physical focus however, desiring pure physical victory, rather than the "higher" Sith tradition of Dun Moch; dominating the opponent's spirit and exposing his inner doubts through taunts and psychological warfare. Helios would much rather end battle as soon as it is finished, rather than engage in pointless conversations with dead men.
Appearance:
Helios wears black leather boots and shoulder coverings along with leather wrist braces, and a traditional Sith Assassin Skirt. Helios carries as much of the original traditions on his person as possible, and as such has adopted this particular piece of clothing for battle. Helios tends to wear long sleeve tops with the bottom of the sleeves tucked under his wrist braces or he instead will simply go shirtless. Eldorai as a whole have pointed ears with skin tones matching that of an average human. Helios' dark side's influence has changed his skin color to a sickly gray/pale white, and his eyes have turned to a orange hue that only those most immerse in the Dark Side could receive.
Helios bears the trademark 'sin scar' that all of the high ranking assassins of the Guild were forced to receive upon reaching a certain rank. The scars entail a myriad of markings, with the most noticable stretching from cheek to cheek in a straight yet jagged fashion over his nose. Other markings can be found on his forehead and circular-like scars can be found at the temples of his head under his hair. Helios' eyes and mouth are tinted very dark, appearing very deep blue or black depending on light. Most onlookers would attribute the dark markings to being a physical embodiment of the darkness that consumes Helios' mind and spirit, but truthfully its a personal preference to heighten both the ferocity of his appearance and to magnify his ability to see and move about in the dark.

BIOGRAPHY:
Given the name Helios at birth, he was brought into this galaxy by a couple who were deep in the world of criminal doings. Helios' parents were a dangerous pair of cut-throats, spies, and assassins. From the time he was able to walk, he was immediately brought into this violent world. Helios would go on to experience a very rough childhood, with his parents being pure Eldorai, Helios in turn would be raised as both a dignitary and a warrior, his only friends being the ones he made up and his only teachers to be his parents. Fortunately, however, he was taught very well by them, being tutored in high galactic, mathematics, and conventional history. Education came routinely and in time he also learned various languages, unarmed combat, stealth, and fire-arm training.
Helios' mother and father were the extension force of a minor criminal organization known simply as The Guild. As was procedure, when he became of age, Helios was forced to join. By this time he'd been so broken by his own parents that he had little desire to turn away from the lifestyle so he embraced everything that came with open arms. By the time he was 18 Helios had fully embraced the life of the Reaper and had been dubbed by the Guild to be the "Perfect Killer," one who had no love interests, no identity, no friends, and no mercy.
When he was still loyal to the Guild, Helios took on a mission to assassinate presumably a Jedi Master whom had been interfering with trades in the outer rim. This mission, however, ended in failure due to the might of the Jedi's Force techniques. Despite the insurmountable danger faced in the mission, what awaited his return to the Guild was the stigma and harsh punishment associated with the failure of his objective. In response to this treatment, a wrong levied against an assassin who had put life and limb on the line for his Guild, Helios came to hold a violent hatred to his organization as he escaped from imprisonment. From the age of 19-21 he made a living off bounty hunting, then eventually met a contractor named Jared with whom he created a Partner-Guild with.
Originally, Helios would place himself among the hitmen, cut-purses, and lesser assassins, but Jared forbade it claiming Helios would be a man amongst boys. The other mercs of the organization came to grow a hatred towards Helios not only for his skills but because of his apparent Talent. Sometimes he was able to move things without touching them, kill a man without contact if he was angered enough, and other various feats. Everyone but Jared called him a Witch, or even worse a Demon. It swelled Helios' already enlarged pride for he cared not what they thought, he only wished to study this entity called The Force. Apparently thats what his key to success was. This was his Talent.
Helios researched the Force, its organizations, and its power. Striking a deal with Jared, to be released when a certain amount of Kills had been tallied in the Guild's Bingo Book and the path down what he discovered to be the Darkside, would begin. Helios came to the conclusion that the Jedi would most likely shun him before he could introduce himself, whether because of his profession or his spirit it mattered not for his opportunity to live a better life was eradicated once he was conceived by his parents. After killing the persons required by Jared, Helios would find himself en route to Korriban...however the pull of the darkside drew him into a direction that defected from the known system.
Helios' ship continued on until he reached the Unkown Regions. It was here that his ship was attacked and disabled by a much larger cruiser, whom had hit Helios with an ion blast. Without power, the freighter was caught in the sector's gravity and was sent crashing down to the planet's surface, despite Helios' crew attempt at getting the power back on. The assassin's ship collided with a building in one of the cities and slammed into the planet's surface, knocking Helios into unconsciousness. Helios awoke, strapped to a torture table, all-of-a-sudden wanting nothing to do with the Sith. This was nothing of what he expected and his life as an assassin seemed all but insignificant to an acclimation he was sure would break him once more, as his parents did when he was a child. He could feel evil energy all around him and Helios instantly felt sick to his stomach. Through blurry eyes, he met a Sith Lord named Lord Raze whom questioned Helios of his origins and purpose and once all of Helios' knowledge was extracted, he deemed that Helios was not a threat and that his skills would be useful to the Empire. Despite his dark upbringing Raze still took out the time to personally torture Helios on-end for two years, and after his will was completely broken was reborn as a Sith.
The Empire Helios was apart of in the Unknown Regions were a distinctive collective, whom favored attire and traditions more akin to that of much more older Sith(thus explains why Helios still wears a Sith Assassin Skirt). During his reign with Raze Helios proved to be the greatest assassin of his time, eliminating pivotal figures to the galaxy at the command of Raze. However, during the Empire's rise they were attacked by outside forces, unlike any jedi or criminal organization Helios had ever seen and nearly wiped the Cult Sith nearly out of existence. Raze whom deemed Helios the only Sith worthy of carrying their knowledge into the future so he was placed in a stasis field, hoping that when he awoke, things would be...better for the Sith. And so for a time that failed to be recorded, Helios slept until his last acolyte died and his Stasis Field was released when the uncared-for tech responsible for it's function corroded and imploded. Upon falling back into reality and out of the Limbo, Helios found that he had difficulty grasping reality as beings he created in his mind stood around him talking as if they were real. Angered and irritated at his own insanity and his inability to control it he released a massive amount of force energy from his body. The energy dissipated the illusions though in all actuality there were Sith Ghosts and after several days of scourging the ruins of an empire that was once a penacle of power, he came to terms with his re-awakening, and upon regaining his composure took a ship from an underground bay and flew to known space, seeking out those whom would call themselves a Sith in the face of a True Sith.
