==Biography== |
|
|
Jerec originally came to the attention of ], a Jedi who worked for the Jedi ExplorCorps as a talented Force-sensitive; she immediately took him on as a ]. Nu's training gave Jerec several traits, not least among which was an insatiable hunger for knowledge, and supercilious manners. He advanced to Knighthood, and took on ] as his own Padawan- soon she became a Knight herself, and Jerec a respected ]. His thirst for knowledge unabated, and unsatisfied by the resources available a Jedi Master, he sought outlets for his curiosity. He sat out the ] and instead travelled with a group of Jedi 'artifact finders' to the ], supposedly in search of wisdom unknown. But the rise of the Empire meant that that couldn't last; events caught up with Jerec in the form of the Imperial Inquisitor ], who brutally slaughtered his fellow Jedi, with Jerec the sole survivor- due to his decision to join the Dark-siders as an ] himself. |

Jerec continued his studies, but this time in the Dark side. Jerec was trained by Palpatine under ] along with a number of other dark students in an attempt to ensure the ]'s reign over the ] should anything happen to either Vader or Palpatine. Jerec often studied from one of the Emperor's many Dark side texts, the enormous ''Dark Side Compendium'' (which ] would later study from at the tutelage of the reborn Emperor, on ]). In this malevolent tome, Palpatine mused about a proposal he never actually had time to test: he would take 7 or so trained Dark Jedi, and submerge them utterly into the Emperor's evil will; they would be fanatical, absolutely loyal, nearly unstoppable servants- a ''Dark Side Elite''. But Palpatine never carried it out fully (he did use ] to achieve a weak form of this however). Jerec determined to pick up where Palpatine left off- unfortunately for Jerec, Palpatine sensed his intent. Whatever the truth of the rumors of Jerec being an ], Palpatine was always wary and deeply fearful of possibly being overthrown; he ruthlessly blocked Jerec from further access to his Dark side corpus, or indeed, any advanced training at all. After Palpatine's death at the hands of Anakin Skywalker, Jerec took his chance and aimed for his goal, completing his experiments and binding the minor characters ], ], ], ], ], ]. |

Eventually, he would learn from the ] ] (father of ] and later known as ''Agent Blackhole'') of the Sith legend of the ]. The lure of the concentrated power, and more importantly, the ''knowledge'' of thousands upon thousands of the greatest Sith and Jedi of antiquity proved too much for Jerec to ignore. But he could not immediately go in search of it due to his duties and the ever-present gaze of the Emperor. Jerec instead busied himself with projects such as governing ] (by an interesting coincidence, ]'s homeworld), having a personal ] built to replace the Imperial ] ''Vengeance'' which was lost in an attempt to capture and tame a mind-controlling monster called ''Spore'', in order to control an army. Jerec was not busy solely with ruling, recruiting Dark Jedi, and more esoteric pursuits; he also prudently keep his hand in at business, becoming a billionaire through savvy investments, and many wealthy backers such as ] (they backed him financially due to his ability to Inquistorially exempt his patrons from any and all audits). After the ], when Kaine formed the ], Jerec and his followers went to work for the Alignment as the ''Great InQuestors of Judgment''. Only a year later, the Prophet Blackhole (formerly Lord Cronal) came to the Pentastar Alignment, and informed Jerec that the Emperor was alive and well on ], his plans for transferring his consciousness into clone bodies a success. Further, the Emperor, through Blackhole, commanded his allegiance, and charged him to search for the Valley of the Jedi, for the betterment of the Empire. Jerec, cleverly, had already arranged for the Alignment to dispatch him on that mission. But playing two sides against the middle was not sufficient for him- the Prophets of the Dark Side wanted him to find the Valley as well! 20 years previously, Jerec had captured the Jedi Master ] and when he failed to get the coordinates, and when Rahn snatched ]'s lightsaber and rashly took on all seven Dark Jedi, executed him. Jerec had forced his way into Rahn's mind however, and learned that ] was the only other person who knew where the Valley was. He served a short term as ] of ], presumably following the execution of Katarn. After killing Morgan in anger, Jerec would be forced to wait years before an information broker he hired, a droid named 8t88, provided him with the location via a map. En route, he lost all his followers to ], but backed by three major factions (the Empire Reborn, the Pentastar Alignment, and the forces of ]), he gained entrance to the Valley. Drawing upon the stored Force energies, Jerec realized all the wildest promises of the Valley: |

|
|
|
|
:''and for one lucid moment, absolute omniscience was his. The will of the Force, Chaos, the ancient civilizations of the Rakata and Xim, what lay beyond the galactic barrier, and the origins of the universe - - Jerec understood them all, and endowed with Force powers beyond imagination, he would have ruled accordingly.'' |
|
|
|
|
|
His megalomanical plans were defeated, however, when Katarn, drawing on the same Jedi techniques that severed the ] from the Force, or ], cut Jerec off from the Valley and indeed, the Force at large. At last Jerec lay defeated, torn from the source of his power, but he refused to surrender. When Katarn offered him mercy by throwing Jerec's unlit lightsaber back to him, Jerec picked up the lightsaber, looked at it, and suddenly lunged at Kyle, lightsaber lit. Kyle somehow anticipated this, and managed to shift slightly to the side but leaving his lightsaber in Jerec's path. In the end, Jerec charged through Kyle's lightsaber, severing his right shoulder and arm, finally dying. |
