Zyrasi

WORK IN PROGRESS

Zyrasi was born to an Imperial Intelligence agent and a mid-level diplomat. Though moderately Force-sensitive, his parents had enough influence to keep him away from the Sith, allowing him to follow in first his mother's footsteps and join the Intel community. After a successful career, he became disillusioned with the Sith Empire and found his way to the Sith Imperium shortly before Solaria fell.

Early Life
Zyrasi's childhood was a furtive one. His parents, Sanoa and Bialin, were determined to keep him away from the Sith the moment his gifts began to manifest, having seen what a dark side education could do to someone. They hired disgraced Sith, fallen Jedi, and even the occasional Force-sensitive mercenary to teach Zyrasi not only how to utilize his abilities, but how to conceal them from others. He became quite adept at disguising his Force presence, even fooling a Sith Lord at age 14 who came to the family's home as a 'reward' for his mother's work in Intel. Bialin was a talented Minder in Imperial Intelligence and had contributed to several small but important victories in the war shortly before the Sacking of Coruscant.

Around 17 he learned to slice from one of his less reputable mentors and found himself adeptly breaking into Bialin's work files. He became fascinated with Intel and studied his mother's work regularly, convinced he was getting away with it. After several months of this, he realized a flaw in one of her analyses. Struggling with whether to reveal this and admit he'd been breaking into government files or to keep it secret and risk his mother losing face, Zyrasi soon confessed and tried to help Bialin fix the error. Instead of angry or ashamed, however, Bialin seemed proud of Zyrasi. She revealed that she'd allowed his intrusions and, eventually, left the intentional fault as a test for him. She took points away for him admitting to slicing into encrypted, top-secret data, having hoped he'd find a way to show her the error without coming clean, but was impressed that he'd managed to break in to those files and analyze them expertly.

It wasn't long before his mother helped him enter the Intelligence ministry and he began working his way up the ranks.
