BIOGRAPHY:
Born Tomas Osterwald to human parents in a small community in the outer rim, at an early age his affinity with the force had him destined to become a priest, and thus he did. He dedicated his whole 20s reading scripture and working in the priesthood, but his natural ambition started to burn brightly and it wasn't enough. He asked the more senior priests how he could better his position, he was intelligent and found the force easy so felt he deserved more. They dismissed and mocked him, a young upstart trying to elbow his way into the higher ranks.
This refusal to engage only pushed him harder, he started looking at older scriptures, ones dealing with how the force can be used to obtain power, this naturally led to him enquiring after forbidden tomes of the dark side that were kept hidden in the vault. His persistence was beginning to annoy his superiors and he was publicly punished by flagellation to try to teach him his place. Feeling betrayed and that the secrets he needed were just out of reach, he began to plot to obtain the books through any means, after months of preparation he struck. In the dead of night he sneaked in to the church, down into the library and through the vaults, using tools he had fashioned from studying the locks, he pried open the door and entered. The books were finally his, turning to leave he felt something unusual, something watching him. He returned home and began hungrily reading the dark tomes. There was so much information here, he found himself so deep in reading that he didn’t even notice when the church enforcers broke in to he house.
They wasted no time arresting him, charging him and sentencing him to be hung from the neck in the town square, an example would be made of this young miscreant to prevent any further transgressions. His sentence was carried out at dusk, Jester felt nothing but anger, his only crime was wanting to better his life and these priests were holding him back. He stood on the gallows, his infinite hatred building, watching the jeering priests who had once been his family mocking him. The hatch dropped and he blacked out, he hung there until dawn when he was cut down and taken for embalming, but he wasn’t dead, his anger had helped him cling to life. As he lay on the embalmers table, air refilling his body he resolved to destroy the church and take the knowledge by force. What followed could only be described as a massacre, the young Jester, fuelled by his pain butchered every last one of the priests before disappearing into the mountains with the forbidden tomes.
Jester has studied these tomes and over the last 20 years has become strong with the darkside, visiting many shrines, including the hidden shrine of the Dagda Mor, detailed in one of the oldest tomes. There he found the sword of the Dadga Mor, initially it tried to dominate him, but after nearly 3 weeks of intense battles of will, Jester was victories, binding the sword to himself.
Jester now travels the galaxy seeking further knowledge and power, but the sword has corrupted his psyche, leading him to violent places in the pursuit of pure bloodshed. Had the Jester and the Sword never been joined, maybe he could have been a dark lord of note, but for now, his inherent instability makes it hard for him to rest in any one place for too long before seeking renewed violence.

- Physical Scarification – Jester has obvious wounds and runes carved into his face, making it impossible for him to hide his dark side, and making him a fearful sight around civilised people.
