---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS:
(+) Transmutant Adept: Trained by [member="Rave Merrill"] before his mind-wipe, Ostanes has from the start been adept at any form of tranmutative or creative art when involving Sith Magic or Force Crafting or Alteration. Though technical knowledge has been stripped largely by the mind-wiping by Rave, he was once versed and skilled in everything from Alchemy to Sith Magic to Art of the Small and others. Further rebuilding of his Legacy, and the chaining and the melding with Obeah, has such that Ostanes has become one of the more proficient Force Crafters in existence.
(+/-) Thirst For Knowledge: Knowledge above all other things is Ostanes' most pure and blatant motivation in life.
WEAKNESSES:
(-) No Rancor Wrestler: By default he is notably weaker than most others, and relies on his brain instead of brawn and combat ability. You would never want him wrestling or fighting as a front line soldier.
APPEARANCE:
What day and time and place determines his appearance, due to his shape-shifting abilities

Not a lot is known of Ostanes past, simply because he is a shy, secretive type like most of his people. He will tell you he never had a particularly close family, something uncommon for his kind. However, he keeps his racial heritage as a shi'ido quiet, his ace in the hole. Without a family of his own, he is fiercely protective and possessive of those he does consider to be part of his familial unit. Even when they are merely servants, they tend to become something he is attached to, and he does not exhibit the usual distaste for relationships that most Sith show, realizing at the base value that these relationships can be used for manipulation to his advantage.
What is known is that for a long while, he was in the employ of Rave Merril as one of her rising alchemical talents. Unfortunately, at the time of her death, he was one of those whose memory was wiped and destroyed. He awoke with little to no memory of most of his alchemical talents or abilities, except the fact the he used to once upon a time know how to do a great many more things than he did now. Notes and journals that were filled with theorems and figures and notations he knew he had done, could remember writing them even. However his ability to comprehend and work with them to advance them was shattered and lost.
With his memory fragmented and fuzzed, the Alchemist has set out to reclaim his lost talent and skill, and has been honing his talents over all in the Force, determined to become stronger than before so that no one ever again can humble him so much as to just take away his greatest asset. Indeed, it has become an obsession that in recent years has driven him to the brink of insanity with his thirst for knowledge and power. Some might say he has crossed a line, but more and more he is beginning to care less and less about anything but regaining his lost skills, and surpassing even Rave, so that he may perhaps wreak vengeance on her, or at the least become great again.
From that approach, he has skittered to and fro between various Galactic factions and empires and groups. Slowly inserting himself under numerous identities and guises into every facet he can. At this time, excepting the matter of his employer Akure Executive Interstellar, these associations have been minimal and unobtrusive. The One Sith knew him as an Acolyte, the Techno Union knew him as a representative from AEI, Akure itself knew him first as the Head of Research and Development, and then under several other guises until he had taken over the helm of the vast corporation as Uriel, wrenching control himself.
He has even gone so far to reconnect with trusted friends and past employees and associates, such as [member="Seydon of Arda"], retaining the services for the company and himself if need be. Though it is not publicized, he and Seydon are at times seen meeting for drinks, discussing things, almost friends if you will. Never one to reveal a weakness, he has come to call the monster hunter a friend, at least in his own mind, and uses him almost as a moral compass even if the direction is often ignored through no fault of Seydon's.
For a while, unless the needs of business have pressed and called, he has not been seen publicly in person, and though none know it, his time had been largely spent on Tattooine in study. He has came into possession of a multitude of holocrons, datacrons, grimmoires, scrolls and more, some with benign knowledge and secrets, and so many more with things he would have been better off if he had never known to begin with. But there seems to be a fragmenting of his mind as he adopts more and more 'faces' to mesh into the workings of the Galaxy, personalities becoming more independent and real rather than just affectations.
Eventually his studies culminated in the mastering of the Taurannik Codex, and managed to use it to summon an Eldritch being and bind it to a staff of hjarna stone. From there, things took a darker turn, and he stumbled further into Dathomirian Traditions, learning much of their arts and even earning the admiration of a few in the Witchmasters before his full fall into darkness at the needling encouragement of his spiritual prisoner. Eventually he would give in to the Dark Side in full, taking on the Mantle of Sith again, and becoming ever more engrossed in deeper mysteries.
The end result was his disappearance over Atrisia while embroiled with a battle with Lotek'k that he himself had summoned, to what end no one yet knows.

Note: Knowledge of these spells does not indicate aptitude, or in what way they are utilized, with them, just ability to use. Some may be only able to be used in runic form, and others known only in an academic or imbuement sense, and not suitable for combat. The variants are too intricate for me to be bothered notating. Suffice to say, he still sucks in combat. Same goes for Dathomirian Charms/Spells
