PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
A towering man with a broad, imposing frame, his presence is one that commands attention. His hair, once a rich, dark color, has faded to a mix of silver and white, worn long and often tied back, revealing a weathered yet strong face. His beard, equally silver, is thick and meticulously groomed, adding to his air of authority. His eyes, deep-set and icy blue, are sharp and calculating, often twinkling with a mischievous glint that belies his true nature. His skin, tanned and roughened by age, is marked with the lines of a life well-lived, and his voice is deep, gravelly, carrying the weight of countless secrets and schemes.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Jared is a master of manipulation, his personality shaped by decades of navigating the treacherous paths of power. He possesses a mischievous streak that often manifests in dark humor and a penchant for playing tricks on those around him, both for amusement and to maintain control. His cunning is not just a tool but a deeply ingrained part of who he is; he delights in outmaneuvering others, whether they are allies or enemies. Pragmatism is the core of his being. He views the galaxy through a lens of cold practicality, making decisions based solely on what will benefit him the most, regardless of the moral implications. To him, the ends always justify the means, and he does not hesitate to employ deceit, manipulation, or even murder if it serves his goals.
His deceitful nature is almost second nature; lies roll off his tongue as easily as truths, and he has constructed an empire on a foundation of falsehoods and illusions. The line between reality and his fabrications is often blurred, not just for those around him but even, at times, for himself. Greed is another defining trait. No matter how much power, wealth, or influence he amasses, it is never enough. His lust for more drives him to constantly seek out new opportunities, to expand his reach further into the galaxy, always hungry for the next conquest.
STRENGTHS
- Master of the Force: Specializes in mentalism, Sith Magic, and other arcane aspects of the Force. His abilities in these areas are nearly unparalleled, allowing him to manipulate minds, cast illusions, and perform dark rituals with ease.
- Cunning and Strategic: His mind is sharp and strategic, always thinking several steps ahead. He is a master manipulator, often playing his enemies and allies against each other.
- Wealth and Influence: Over the years, he has accumulated vast wealth and resources, giving him considerable influence in various parts of the galaxy.
- Physical Combat: His age has diminished his physical capabilities, making him less effective in direct combat. He avoids physical confrontations, preferring to rely on his mental prowess and underlings to do the dirty work.
- Overconfidence: His reliance on mentalism and Sith magic has made him dismissive of physical combat, leading to underestimation of opponents who excel in this area. This overconfidence can make him vulnerable in situations where brute force is required, and he may overlook threats that are less obvious or outside his expertise.
- Paranoia: His decades of deceit and manipulation have made him deeply paranoid. He trusts very few people and is constantly suspicious of betrayal, which can lead to isolation and poor decision-making. This paranoia can cause him to overreact to perceived threats, sometimes driving away potential allies or making enemies out of those who might have otherwise been neutral.
Born into the harsh and unforgiving streets of Coruscant, this character's early life was a constant struggle for survival. As a street urchin in the galaxy's most densely populated world, he quickly learned the art of deception and the value of cunning over brute strength. Every day was a battle for food, shelter, and safety, and it was in this environment that his mischievous and deceitful nature began to take root. He became a master at manipulating those around him to get what he needed, skills that would serve him well in the years to come.
His life took an unexpected turn when he caught the attention of Spencer Jacobs, a powerful Force user and member of the Lords of the Fringe. Recognizing the raw potential within him, Spencer took him under her wing, removing him from the streets and introducing him to the ways of the Force. Spencer, along with her wife, Ashin Varanin—a former Sith Empress known for her own immense power—trained him in the dark arts, honing his abilities and shaping him into a formidable force. His ambition was boundless, and under their tutelage, he grew rapidly in power, driven by a desire to rise above his humble beginnings and seize control of his own destiny.
As he gained strength within the Lords of the Fringe, he established a base of power on Annaj, the group's capital, and extended his influence to the planet 244Core. His relentless drive and strategic mind led to his appointment as Governor, a position he used to amass significant wealth and influence. He operated under numerous cover identities, creating a web of corporations and illicit enterprises that further bolstered his power. His time as Governor was marked by a ruthless efficiency, as he manipulated the economy and political landscape to his advantage, always looking for the next opportunity to expand his reach.
When Ashin and Spencer disappeared under mysterious circumstances, he briefly ascended to the leadership of the Lords of the Fringe. However, the organization was already in decline, and his tenure as leader was fraught with internal conflict. Seeing the writing on the wall, he made the calculated decision to disband the Fringe, but not before siphoning off a considerable portion of its fleets, armies, and advanced technology for his own use. His control over Iron Crown Enterprises, a powerful parastatal company, allowed him to maintain significant influence in the territories once controlled by the Fringe.
With the Lords of the Fringe disbanded, he turned his attention to other opportunities for power. He ingratiated himself with the Primeval, an eldritch cult with ambitions in the Tingel Arm, and later with the One Sith, a resurgent Sith faction that had shattered the Republic and established a new empire in the Core Worlds. His involvement with these groups was driven by his insatiable greed and desire for more power, as he played them against each other to further his own ends.
During this period, he discovered that he had a daughter, Calina Ovmar, with his former lover, Anaya Fen. Seeing her as another pawn in his game, he used his formidable mentalism abilities to subtly influence and control her, shaping her actions to suit his plans. However, when Anaya realized what he was doing, she fled with their daughter, cutting off his influence over Calina and leaving him with a bitter sense of loss.
As new powers rose in the galaxy and his interest in the broader galactic affairs waned, he began to withdraw from the public eye. He retreated to a secluded region of space, where he could experiment with the Force in peace, delving into the arcane mysteries of time, space, life, and death. His fascination with these esoteric subjects led him to amass a vast collection of ancient artifacts, which he studied obsessively, seeking to unlock the deepest secrets of the Force.
Recently, however, rumors have begun to circulate of his return. Sightings of an enigmatic figure, sometimes appearing as an old man, other times as a younger version of himself, have been reported in the same haunts he frequented decades ago. Always a step ahead of those who seek him, he continues to manipulate events from the shadows, his true intentions obscured by layers of deception. One thing remains certain: despite his advanced age, he has not lost his taste for power, trickery, or his favorite drink—an appletini. His ability to adapt and reinvent himself, even in the face of physical decline, makes him a force to be reckoned with, and his re-emergence hints at plans that could once again shake the galaxy to its core.
