- Personality: Inquisitive and curious, Rath Exigo has always had a keen mind, which always sought to unravel the mysteries of the universe and has led given him a hunger for knowledge that has led him down the path of dabbling in the Dark Side of the Force. Despite his use of the darker powers of the Force, he is a surprisingly calm, patient and collected individual, traits which make him an excellent teacher for the young Warden Initiates.
However, should a situation manage to arouse his anger, he is prone to react with extreme violence and can bear grudges for a very long time. It can be said that Exigo is a man of extremes, in this regard. Far from being kind and nurturing, Exigo can be a very harsh and unforgiving teacher, who expects his students to excel in the face of adversity and endure hardship without complaint.
Behind his calm, collected exterior, however, lies a much darker, broken man. One who feels a deep-seated hatred towards the Force and which has led to him developing an obsessive dedication towards this cause.
- Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber, Force Powers
- Combat Function: Rath Exigo can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, he is a skilled and experienced fighter who has also attained a reasonable mastery over the Force. On the other hand, Exigo's past has left him scarred and prone to fatigue, particularly because of a lung injury sustained during his exiled, which has not healed properly. He is a torch that burns very brightly and very fast.
Senusnet began his life as the sheltered third child of the wealthy Atemu family on Ankhypt. The favorite child of both his parents, he spent his early childhood daydreaming of grand adventures and learning how to manage the family's profitable business in the slave trade. At the age of ten, he was discovered as a Force sensitive and subsequently inducted into one of the Anubian temples for training as a future priest.
Proving himself naturally gifted towards both mastering the Force, as well as learning and performing the various rituals which are required of the Anubian priesthood, he passed his trials and was appointed a full priest within a temple in one of Ankhypt's larger cities. Driven by an insatiable lust for knowledge, he sought to learn everything he could about the Force, a curiosity which, coupled with his arrogance, had led him down the path of the Dark Side.
The rapid growth of his powers and his meteoric rise through the ranks of the Anubian clergy, however, had also earned him the scrutiny and envy of several of his fellow priests, a fact to which he remained oblivious until his rivals carried out a plot to have him accused of blasphemy. Enraged, Senusnet demanded a trial by combat against his accuser, wishing to settle once and for all the question of who had the approval of the gods. He won his trial, but that was not to be the end of his ordeal.
Several of the higher ranking priests, who were fearing that he would soon rise high enough in the temple hierarchy, that he would threaten their positions, used the accusation as an opportunity to put an end to what they perceived as a threat. Claiming to have been granted a vision by the gods, these priests exiled Senusnet into the desert, where he was expected to die.
In a moment, the now-former priest saw everything stripped away from him. His power, his wealth, his respected position within Anubian society, all were taken away in spite of his innocence. In those long years during which he drifted through the desert, taking the occasional job as a mercenary, it was resentment that sustained him. He grew to question the gods' fairness and even their existence, however he would not find purpose again until he one day met a man named Kainan Wolfe, shortly after the conquest of Nibelungen, in which he participated as a simple mercenary footsoldier.
The mysterious warlord of the Shrouded Republic emerged out of nowhere, bringing with him an army the likes of which the former Anubian priest had never seen and a secret society of Force Users which kept their agenda hidden. Witnessing how this army treated all of its soldiers fairly, with no regards for species or origin, he sought to enlist as a soldier, but was recognized as a Force sensitive by one of the Wardens of the Shroud. After a long period of careful testing, he was inducted into their order and taught their secrets. There, Senusnet learned a different truth from the one he had been taught as a child: that the Force was not a gift from the gods, but an evil entity which sought to control, enslave and ultimately drive every living being into conflict, in order to feed off of the suffering of countless billions.
There, the former priest found a new purpose. That day, he cast down his birth name and took upon himself the title of Rath Exigo. From that they forward, he would seek to address the greatest injustice in the galaxy and put an end to the Force, once and for all.
