Appearance Description
There will be rare occasions in which Malel Mal'gurith will shed his armor and be exposed to the sight of mortals, they who will look upon a man whose flesh is as pale as death, eyes a burning amber crimson blaze against the dark of night and hair as black as the abyss itself. His facial structure is gaunt, as though muscle weakened the likes of a corpse' own, and scars litter his form, the only visible one crossing his face from the right brow to his left cheekbone.
Donning his armor however, the Virmse ra Dvasia truly strikes fear into the hearts of the cowardice. The Helm shaped and formed of a horned skull, breast plate-like metal blades as though portraying a skeletal rib cage protecting the vitals. Where the glimmer of an alloy is not dominant, the cloth and undergarments are fashioned in shades of black and red, typical of the Sith Empire.
Malel is a titan among many, towering over the average human and standing at roughly seven feet tall. His shoulders are brawn, torso masculine, only to be further complimented by the heavy armor carried into battle. He is a figure who carries great strength both in presence and physical prowess alike, a staunch warrior who's aura resembles that of death and decay.
The Virmse ra Dvasia is not beholden to the physical realm alone however, and can step beyond the veil to take on a ghastly figure, the decayed image of his past life's rotting corpse shrouded in black smoke and build decrepit and broken. This form is the likes of legends, a ghostly apparition corrupted in Darkness and the truly unnatural malevolence heavily exaggerated through the practice of Sith Sorcery and Dark Side magicks.
Background Story
Jeremy Harlocke was previously a soldier of the Varanin Legion whom served under the command of House Zambrano's Legionnaires of the Sith Empire. The man was a figure of no significant rank or importance, a mere private and an undiscovered latent Force Sensitive born to a wealthy Imperial family of military background under the previous Galactic Empire, however fell during the war against the Order of the Silver Jedi, slain by the overwhelming power they carried which dwarfed most common troopers.
It was in the weeks following his death, that his soul was reborn by the will of the Valkyries; A sisterhood within the Sith Empire, connected through aligned motivations and journeyers for the deceased. Driven by a dark duty to their purpose, upon the resurrection of a spirit meant to pass on, the Valkyrie responsible forfeits it's connection to the living plain, giving it's life that the dead may return.
Pulled from the abyss, the cold and nothingness of what would have been eternal slumber, the soldier's soul was brought back into a foreign body, a larger corpse of a fallen Sith Warrior. Returned to the realm of the living, the body of the fallen was taken and subjected to heavy experimentation and violent practices of Sith Sorcery under the instruction of Darth Prazutis who sought to wield yet another vassal of destruction under his influence.
The Lord of Lies wished to create a sentient monstrosity combining Sith Spawn, the essence of a fallen rival from the Jedi Order with the decrepit soul of the Virmse ra Dvasia. The result of which bore to the Galaxy the embodiment of living undeath, the figure of the former man consumed in darkness, and to forever walk the veil between realms.
Denied the void that was Death, this maiden of flesh reforged and name bestowed to represent the new life created through the convoluted magicks of Sith Sorcery; Malel Mal'gurith and henceforth suffered of memory retention and struggling to remain connected to his past life.
Malel Mal'gurith's rise through the ranks of The Sith Empire was a violent and bloody path seeing out countless wars and even turning upon those who would seek to discourage his success and climb to power.
Upon being recognized as a Sith Lord, Malel took on the title of Darth Cessair (Kah-Seer) and would finally shed himself of his lowly past, no longer beholden to the command of others but standing as a beacon of power and darkness, a devout warrior of the Sith ways and loyal to the Empire.
