Professional History: Sixth is a Soldier of the Ancient Sith Empire, born into a race of genetically engineered slaves. From the day he was identified with Force sensitivity he was marked to be a soldier and assasin of the New Sith Order to be. From the day he was old enough to walk he was taught various forms of combat and trained to be a Soldier, loyal and obedient. And he fit into the role well.
His people were genetically engineered to be soldiers worth of the Sith empire, but an unfortunate side effect of their engineering was an need to consume mass amounts of energy just for survival. The Sith combated this by enginering a high energy plasma to feed their soldiers and slaves of this race but they started to use their assassins of this race for other purposes. These warriors could be used to drain the life force of their enemies to feed this ravenous hunger. These assissins were trained to hunt enemies of the Sith, more specifally the Jedi. Sixth was very good at what he did, and he and seven others were recruited by the Dark Lord Revan, he used this squad of elite hunters to track and kill many Jedi during the Jedi Civil War. Sixth and his comrades were more the capableat their jobs, and his comrades rather enjoyed feeding on the lives of others. Sixth didn't. He completely his missions with far more speed and secrecy then his comrades did. These eight became feared through the empire and were known as the 'Sons of Revan'.
After the fall of Revan, Darth Malak feared that the Sons of Revan would seek revenge for the weaker Sith Lord's betrayal of their master. More importantly then that Malak feared that the sons of Revan would rally their people in rebellion against their Sith masters, and with So few Jedi left in the galaxy, the Sith would be the next most likely target to sate the savage hunger of these people.
One of Revan's Loyal officers feared a similar betray by the brethern, so he ordered the Sons to report to him as a plan to avenge their master. It turned out to be a trap the Admiral used seditives in their feeding plasma and redned them unconcious. He placed the eight of them in Cryogenic stasis incase they could prove useful. Gave orders to have them shuttled out of the system, and be kept on ice until the orders came to revive them and bring them back into service. The orders never came.
Background: Sixth is a member of a gentically engineered race from the planet Kalnath VI. He was identified at a young age as being strong in the force. And before he was even old enough to walk he was trained to be a soldier and Sith assassin. Many recruits to such academy's on his world taught one rule, and that rule was the Strong conquer all. And as a result, life usually meant you had to watch your back as other students tried to kill you by any means necessary. These soldiers were born and bred for combat and taught the force and more importantly Sith teachings. The more you excelled in your class, the more you weeded out the weak, this was the way of things.
His people were genetically engineered over generations to be physically stronger then most and sturdy, they served well as soldiers and labour slaves. Sixth and seven other soldiers caught the eye of a Dark Lord and he trained and turned them into his personal hit squad. When the Sith Lord was betrayed by his aprrentice, one of Lords officers saved the hit squad by in turn betraying them. In cryogenic sleep the eight were shuttled out of the system as the Dark Lord's apprentice moves a large Armada in and leveled their homeworld destroying everything.
The crew of the shuttle had their orders to keep the eight safe and awaken them when the orders came to do so. For nearly seventy years the crew tried to keep to those orders, but the final orders never came. And so when the last crewman died, the shuttle was left to drift. Made of sturdy construction and alien technology of the Ancient Star Forge the shuttle maintained it's own systems and more for nearly four thousand years.
After the shuttle crew died off the droid left behind to maintain the vessel decided in their infinite wisdom to manuver the ship into a place it couldn't be found. They piloted the ship into the outer rim and into an Asteroid belt, the droid own final orders were to set the vessel down safe and deactivate. And it did.
Legends came and went, stories passed on how different relics of another age were passed on by the Sith. And one stry came that the 'Sons of Revan' horded the dark Lord's most valued treasures on a ship and they swore to protect it through the ages. Or stories of the like, that spoke of a ship that could do just about anything or carried treasure beyond and sentients wildest dreams. Funny how myths come about, and more importantly how greed gets the better of men. One tresure hunter and his crew found this ship of legend, and were more surprised to find mostly intact and still with a few powered systems. The boarded the ship and found eight cryopods, three still intact and functional. They started to salvage useful parts and cargo from the ship, and started the thaw cycles on the pods, one of the pods was damaged, it's thaw cycle was slower. When the Sons of Revan awoke, the awoke with a vengence. They killed the treasure hunters feeding on them, they left on the stolen ship. Sixth awoke alone on a broken vessel stripped of all but the essential parts. He managed to repair and pilot the vessel to a nearby asteroid field with a small trading post there. Now and Angry mn is awake, hungry and with no purpose in life save one. Survival at any cost.
His vessel was located in the Hypherian belt along the outer Rim. It remained hidden for thousands of years because of the close proximity of the asteroids made it difficult for larger ships to explore the region, thus no real reason remained to explore the belt. But for treasure hunters daring and foolish enough, it presented them with the challenge they need.
Personality: Sixth is a survivor first and foremost. But he is also a relic of another time, once a loyal Sith soldier he is angered at The Sith and the Jedi. But inside he holds true to his ideals. He knows what he is, a killer, he tries to hold that back by not feeding on people only power sources as the primary source of energy died out more then four thousand years ago. He remains disiplined and ready to serve if nessecary, he's now starting to let some sign of humanity through, but he was a soldier his entire life it's hard to change that, espcially with the taint of the dark side hanging over him still
