HISTORY
Born from a noble family of diplomats associated with the Gallactic Alliance, Jebbriel was a very strange, antisocial child. Almost always confined to his chambers, he would read galactic history, the stories of the heroes and villains of old. His mother, a historian, understood this appreciation for knowledge, and actively instigated it. She couldn't keep herself from hiding her Entuuran descent, and often told stories about her planet's culture. That instigated Poven's curiosity, and while his father grew more distant in diplomatic and political missions, he and his mother would revisit the glorious days of the past, triumphantly open old books and interesting artifacts she kept in their home.
One day, when the child was old enough to comprehend Entuuran culture, Jebriell's mother showed him her most prestigious possession: a torture kit from one Entuuran High Inquisitor, called Mox Slosin. While his mother couldn't sense it, it was clear to little Poven that the instruments were calling for him. He felt every molecule inside his body urging to possess the torture devises. During her sleep, after a year of controlling himself, sixteen year-old Jebriell Poven stole the torture kit. When his mother discovered it, she immediately knew what was happening. She tried to confront her son, and they fought for hours. At its climax, burning of rage and feeling the intrument's calling in a crescendo, Jebriell blacked out.
He had no memories of what happened in-between, but he clearly reminds of waking up, only to see his mother tied to a chair, lobotomised, with the voided eyes incrusted in her son's mind. He had to make this horrid scene seem like a suicide. His father would never forgive him if he knew his son was a murderer, after all. Jebriell cleaned the blood that leaked from his mother's ears, laid her in bed, and forcefully fed her dozens of pills. He waited patiently to ensure his mother stopped breathing, and touched her gelid skin to ensure she was dead. He called his father using a comlink and, acting desperate, crying as much as he could, warned the travelling diplomat his spouse was breathing no more.
Jebriell's father paid anyone he could to ensure nobody knew of his spouse's destiny. In fact, he did the job well enough to convince everyone that she was travelling to distant worlds as part of a very deep historical research. Jebriell would never be the same, and he knew his father wouldn't either. They both became very depressed individuals, and Jebriell became more and more attached to his mother's artifacts. In fact, impersonating her, and using his father's fortune, he would buy more artifacts that "called" for him. He would know soon enough that those were dark side imbued relics, and they would all teach him the basic tenets of the pathway to master the Force.
During sleep, surrounded by dark side relics of a time so old to comprehend, Jebriell dreamt of the day a Sith would dominate Coruscant once again. He understood what this meant, and more specifically, understood the Sith'ari given mission to prepare Coruscant from within to receive the Dark Lord of the Sith. He began studying sith artifacts he clandestinely bought using his mother's shadowy contacts, and began to gather individuals on the galaxy that could teach him the way of the dark side. Slowly but surely, as much as he gathered knowledge, he also experimented the newly taught techniques on force users, corrupting his mind and, if not, lobotomising them for someone more capable to transfer their essence to them.
The first one Jebriell corrupted and utterly brainwashed was his father. He invaded his mind and made him comparable to a slave. It was the first time they've truly bonded, even if the outcome was, Jebriell had to admit, as gruesome as it turned out to be. Using his father's influence, and hiding himself from public knowledge, the Converter prepared Coruscant to receive the one's glory. He saw the news of a Dark Empire, and simply knew it was his destiny to serve it. After the battle of Coruscant, he discarded his father, a mere reflection of who he was, and completely embraced the Church of the Dark Side, formalising the teachings he received. It was Jebriell's duty to take Darth Solipsis' side, and there's much time to plan it. And so it began.

PERSONALITY
Prophet Poven is a loyal servant of the Sith'ari, and honestly believes him to be the one to destroy the light side of the force, and to finally fill the galaxy with darkness, and free us all. Jebriell has a great prejudice against those who do unnecessary evil, as for sport. The dark side, even if powerful within, is futile if aimless, if it doesn't have a purpose. Very patient, calm and polite, the Prophet differs from his peers in terms of temper. Very charismatic and non-confrontional, he has a way with words and uses its full potential to convert the more powerful prisoners. Deeply afraid of death and of the end, he will do what he must, cheat even his fellow prophets, to see himself powerful and alive at the very end, when the shackles are finally broken.
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
+ Dark Side Natural - Prophet Poven has a great, strong bond with the Dark Side of the Force. This bond makes him very powerful and skillful in the dark arts, specially Sith Magic and Sith Alchemy, which he preffers over the other uses of the Force.
+ Charisma - One of the most important parts of his job is to convert both the weak-minded and strong-willed. Because of that, Prophet Poven knows how to act in front of people, how to use his words carefully, and how to manipulate and convince. With the appearance of a weak old man, he attracts the empathy of others only to use them later.
+ Loremaster - While very skillful in the Dark side, most of his mastery of Sith Magic and Alchemy comes from his almost inhuman predisposition to gather and seek knowledge.
+ Indomitable Spirit - Jebriell is thoroughly convinced that his way is the best, and that his belief is right. It is very hard for someone but the Sith'ari to change his way of thinking.
- Lightsabers are For Fools - While proficient in the Dark Side, Jebriell lacks knowledge in lightsaber fighting, which he sidelines as a "Jedi's weapon".
- Afraid of Death - The Converter is afraid to die a meaningless death and not achieve his glory as the one next to the Sith'ari, spreading darkness throughout the galaxy. He will do what he deems necessary to prevent his death, and actively seeks ways to be immortal, and to abolish death to both him and the Sith'ari.
- Arrogant - While devout to the Sith'ari, and the Sith'ari alone, Prophet Poven is very ambitious. Ambitious enough to be certain that he should take the place of Dark Lord of the Sith and be the Sith'ari's apprentice. With this objective in mind, there's nothing Jebriell won't do to achieve it.
- Sick - Prophet Poven is suffering from an unknown disease that is slowly draining him up. Combined with his fear of death, this means he will get much more harsher, callous and desperate on his attempts to prevent the comming death.

deserves. Unfortunately, during his schemes to finally prove himself to his Master, Poven has discovered he is fatally ill. The unknown illness is draining the Prophet's body, and the only solution to it is either to cure it somehow, or to change bodies. Jebriell doesn't intend to die so soon, but his journey to survive the brutal sickness is only the beginning.
