Lady Siyndacha Aerin is a polymath, martial artist, technomancer, and Imperial Knight-Commander.
With the rise of the Sith, and news of the death of a respected former political contemporary while in their service reaching her ears, Aerin has been disturbed out of the lot she has accepted in life these past two decades, and come to some stark realisations: she no more belonged where she was than a fish belonged in the deserts of Tatooine, and her life was not at all what she thought it would be, or perhaps, what it should have been. She was being wasted, stagnating, propping up the dead horse of an Imperial Dream.
So great was this disturbance that she vacated the post of Warden and split from the Imperial Military Protectorate and her husband, leaving little more than a letter, and vanishing to the stars. To make good on old oaths, and employ her intellect, skills and blade to once again spill the tainted blood of the Sith.
And any Jedi should they be found wanting.Born in 856 ABY as a scion of the ancient Echani house of Aerin - a member of the former ruling councils of their people, prior to the investiture of a single figurehead, a Queen - Siyndacha Karolle had a childhood steeped in the tenets and institutions of her warrior culture, the teachings and wisdom of her grandfather Marezius (a former Jedi and mate of the clan matriarch, Adithi) and the fostering of her technological and mechanical aptitudes and interests, both in the Force and by intellect.
Then everything began to change when conflict came to Eshan, claiming the lives of her mother, Karolle, and father, Torr, and opening her to the sway of darkness as an eventual result of her grief. Seduced as a young girl with the promise of power to protect her house and her people from the further ravages of the galaxy, Siyndacha was lured away from the ruin and pain, when kidnapped from her home at the age of seven.
It was easy at first. This Sith, one of her own people, no less... he appealed to her mind and reasoned with her questions and doubts, carefully leading her down the dark path and moulding her into a willing servant of the darkness, or so he believed.
At her core, the reality of such a path - its uncompromising hatred and the senseless need of the dark and light to wipe each other from existence - in brutal campaign after brutal campaign, was hard to shake, and it became a source of increasing disillusionment and trauma that eventually awakened her to the only truth: there was no security, no peace, in a chaotic, unending conflict of two extremes.
At the age of eleven in 867 ABY, the path of her life changed again, when her 'master' was slain by the blade of a Imperial Knight, who then turned to her and brought their blade to bear... yet hesitated, feeling the melange of fear and... relief wafting off of the girl. The Knight spoke of the truth she had only just begun to feel, and offered her a choice: Die here, or go with them and live.
The young Echani heir willingly turned herself in to Imperial forces, and the decade that followed was spent in Imperial re-education, psychological recovery, assimilation into Imperial culture, as well as re-training and further training as an initiate of the Order of Imperial Knights, until she was old enough to become an Imperial Knight herself. In the years prior to her ascension, she was a squire for the Imperial Knight that first took her in - Knight-Commander Rafael 'Rafe' Therian - until his untimely demise at the Battle of Tython in 876 ABY.
After a period of grieving and assessment, Aerin was accorded the rank of Knight-Errant in the early spring of 877 ABY. Her primary combat assignment at the time was as an attaché to the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, with her deployment posting aboard the NIV Dissident Aggressor; this was part of an effort to stem further losses, as the bloody events at Ilum highlighted a need for Knights at the forefront once again in an erupting cold war with the Galactic Alliance and their New Jedi Order.
However, as the Empire shifted more of its Knights in that direction, so too did her assignments change: as an uncommon Knight with political rank (that of the noble class) and in particular with her acumen, education, and abilities, she saw more assignments of a diplomatic nature as her first year as an active Knight has progressed. As the second year of her tenure as a Knight-Errant encroached, and with the disappearance of the Warden of the Empire and Heir to the Throne, Lord Dooku, she further sunk herself into the politics of the Empire and threw her lot behind the nomination of Michael Barran for the post of Warden... seeing him as the best option, the only option for the sake of the Empire's stability at that point in time, mere hours after having pulled his unconscious person from the blizzard conditions of Concordia in late 877 ABY.
In late 878 ABY, after pulling the Warden Michael Barran from certain freezing death - though the locale was in this instance Galidraan III - for a second time, a year on after the first, she started to feel doubt in her decisions that lead to him being assigned the post he occupied. Though she was assigned as the Warden's aide after that day on Concordia, it seemed far too often that she was his handler, a sort of babysitter, and these doubts became unexpectedly quickly aired to the man's cousin, one Denniston Thrast, as the very person they both watched over laid unconscious in a room at Milicent Military Hospital. Yet the Hunter turned out to be a good ear and a welcome perspective that eased her concerns.
In 879 ABY came her ascension to full Knight and shortly thereafter, the assignment of her first student: the fifteen-year-old Martin S. Senée. And so, as the years wore on, circumstance drew her ever-further from her adopted home of Ravelin, as the Empire split into remnants and carried on as best they could, and she found a new home in the snows of Galidraan III, and with it, a growing love with that Hunter, that in time resulted in children: Silthe 'Silya' Thrast was the first, and like her mother, a force sensitive. More children followed. Siyndacha ultimately adapted to the snows, finding them at times to her advantage given her chalk-pale colouration, and learned to loosen up, eventually, spending so much time amongst the Goidels. Her ascencion to Knight-Commander, then subsequently, the Order's highest rank of Warden, came also in the two decades since the Empire's downfall.
