Born and raised on the backwater world of Varunda IX (a jungle world with a genetically diverse population), Je'gan followed a ruthless quest for personal improvement that left him a sector martial arts champion as well as an excellent fencer. While he was in his mid teens, he and his entire family – mother, father and younger brother Baracc – were involved in a speeder accident. Both adults were killed; both brothers felt their deaths and realized for the first time that they were Force-sensitive. Upon completing high school and reaching majority, Je’gan became his brother’s guardian. At this point, Baracc’s telekinetic powers were revealing themselves in dangerous ways: the younger Olra’en was known to inadvertently send utensils, tools and even appliances flying. He drained a public pool on one occasion. Needless to say, Je’gan has severe issues with patience, as well as an incredible danger-sense.
He set out to help Baracc learn to control these manifestations. Je’gan’s over-extensive studies eventually revealed many things about the Force and especially the Dark Side, but he determined that he wouldn't train himself - he wanted his own training to be perfect, aware that he might unintentionally leave something out. Thus, as soon as Baracc left school and struck out on his own, Je’gan joined TSO. He did not, however, approve of Baracc’s choice to drop out, and to this day would have preferred that his younger brother had achieved a level of secular education equal to or greater than his own.
Upon acceptance by Warlock, Je'gan went through a succession of Masters - Jodah of Giva, Oolana Taine, and finally Southstar – before being knighted. At the time, his arsenal consisted of weak telekinesis, the ability to make small objects explode, a technique for channeling a Force-push into a beam of very narrow diameter, physical enhancement, fencing–slash–Form Two, projective and receptive telepathy, simple Illusion and Alter Mind, and the peculiar skill of mindripping – assaulting the processes of a sentient mind in such a way that it ceases to function properly. Despite the efficacy of mindripping as an offensive tactic, he didn’t feel suited to the rank of Knight, and upon attaining that rank used his access to TSO’s library to fullest advantage, learning Force Blindness, Force Confusion, improved Illusion, and improving his techniques of mental infiltration. He completed the shift in his combat style from solid-blade fencing – in which he remains extremely competent – to Form Two, dubbing himself a Master of that Form. As a Knight, he built the lightsaber Magor in the stead of Azubah, constructed at Southstar’s urging between the two intensive training missions that they went on. Both weapons have blue blades, which has come in handy at times, especially when impersonating Jedi.
As an Acolyte, Je’gan snuck off-world during gaps in his training, taking on high-level Forcers and feeling quite proud that he lived to tell the tale. He also ended up committing several indiscretions that cast doubt on his capacity to be a Sith, as opposed to a Jedi. The Elders ordered him to become friends with a member of the GJO and then betray the Jedi in question, to prove his worth. Already acquainted with the Jedi Master Satine Capashen, he sought him out and proposed a trip to hunt Dark Jedi. Capashen was defeated by the Sovereignty’s Col. Tear before Je’gan could betray him.
He at last fulfilled the Elders’ directive despite falling in love with the Jedi in question, a Padawan named Ceres Duvall, and incurring the high displeasure of her relative Zatania, a former friend. Ceres was killed in the incident that followed, and Zatania disappeared from the face of the galaxy. Je'gan, having killed Ceres, is resolutely shy around women for whom he might feel even the slightest hint of positive emotion. The only exception to this as of now is Trric Skyvold, she being his Apprentice and possibly more.
Je’gan later participated in several missions under Southstar’s authourity, including the bombing of a SecCorp building on Coruscant and the subsequent Jedi engagement; the execution of Jaros Detra during the Osidian war; and the eradication of a Dark Side cult, in which he defeated a high-level Forcewielder mind-to-mind and actually managed to suck out the man's soul.
Je’gan’s specialty, needless to say, is mentalics, something he considers his own. He is easily capable of the Mind Trick, of making himself inconspicuous or invisible, of controlling and even altering minds. On the other hand, he has no affinity for energy manipulation and precious little for telekinesis. His Force Lift limit is roughly thirty pounds – extendable to perhaps a hundred pounds in extreme need – and only with intense effort is he capable of lighting and dousing fires, or of heating or chilling a small room. His self-control in the face of pain is highly developed; he can even feed off pain.
For an experienced Knight he is average, perhaps slightly below-average, in terms of sheer power, but he makes up for this in two ways: endurance (only once has he been defeated due to exhaustion) and ingenuity.
He has invented a method of forming mental constructs out of emotion, which he has dubbed Shadow. So far, of his Apprentices only Drake Shadowstalker has learned this. Working off an instinct-based shadow-manipulation technique he observed Zereth Lancer use, he has discovered a way of ‘catapulting’ Shadow into physical existence as a solid black substance, non-atomic in form, that obeys the will of its summoner so long as they are in physical contact. This creation takes up much of his power, but it can be stored and used for weeks without effort – he keeps reservoirs of it coiled around his forearms up to the elbows. So far, its effects on his speed have been negligible. Over the course of a great deal of time, he created enough physical Shadow to construct a home, a tower on Varunda IX. Of the living, only Baracc, Drake, Jan Shadowchild (a detailed and sentient construct of solid Shadow) and a crime lord named Alghieri have visited Shadows’ Hold. None but Jan remember its location. His home away from home, the tower contains numerous trophies, laboratory equipment, and a rather large selection of weaponry, as well as portions of the furniture of the Dark Jedi compound annihilated by Je’gan and Southstar.
In the early days of his career as a Knight, Je'gan believed that he was too 'good' to be a normal Sith, and took appropriate measures by altering the imprisoned soul of Cuulvaer - the Barabel Dark Jedi who had led the cult that he and Southstar destroyed - to form a secondary personality of sorts, named Seren Irreantum, as an outlet for his non-Sith tendencies. This event was not revealed to any member of TSO; Seren Irreantum has appeared to only D'lar Rivin, Baracc Olra'en, and Kes'La Bardo, and in such a way that Seren's illusory 'face' was not revealed. Je'gan's secondary personality and identity are safe.
He also altered his own personality to make himself more aggressive and hateful; the result, since faded and incorporated into his normal state of being, was dubbed Darth Shule.
Southstar being a Sith Knight, Je’gan went Masterless for some time, until taken under the wing of Vega Van Derveld. Since then he has faced and killed one Jedi, participated in the falsified NR attack on Drall, has played a minor role in TSO’s operations involving Lilaena De’Ville, has been trained in basic elemental powers by Malice Draclau, has seen two of his Apprentices Knighted, and has been named an Elder of TSO.
MAJOR FEUDS
From the very beginning, Je’gan has been abrasive and impatient. At a perceived slight to his newfound friend and fellow Sith Jezreal Darkshard, he challenged the TSO Knight Rivin to a duel. Their relationship was always rocky. Only recently, on the orders of Malice Draclau, did they begin to reconcile. The two Knights soon rebounded when Je'gan, as a newly minted Elder, cast his vote to expel Rivin from TSO due to the Chandrila incident. Je'gan now hunts Rivin alongside his Master, Vega.
Je’gan visited Varunda IX as a new Knight, and when Baracc was taken hostage, encountered Choir Aztaroth, an albino Zeltron in her mid teens. Aztaroth was promptly put under an experimental ‘curse’, a long-term alteration of her mental processes to make her absolutely loyal to Je’gan, Baracc, and Alghieri. The curse, being the first of its kind ever performed by Je’gan, contained loopholes that allowed Aztaroth to go on a rampage. She was subdued by Baracc, Merchall and Torentin and confined until Je’gan could return to complete the cursing process and counteract the problems that had given her freedom again. This was successful. Aztaroth retaliated by attempting to seduce him, proving his self-control less infallible than he’d thought it to be. This was unsuccessful.
Je’gan made a mistake, however, by enhancing her Force abilities to make her a more effective servant. She infiltrated his mind via his dreams and seduced him there, conceiving a son. Due to the mental technique used, he believed that the entire incident was a dream, and was not aware that it had actually taken place until Aztaroth herself, infant son in arms, revealed the truth to him. In the ensuing custody battle – not always based on legalities – they have become genuine enemies.
Je'gan encountered the man named Dalamar by chance; the two fought, and Je'gan lost while obtaining a substance named the Crimson Veil, a Sith poison with many strange properties. He has since arranged a rematch, which Dalamar was more than happy to participate in. Je'gan prevailed.
