Tamazal Hok
Darth Depravus


Bio

As if a spitting image of the old Sith Sorcerers of Tund, Tamazal Hok derived from a Kissai family of strength, dignity, and a natural genius with the Force. This pureblooded Sith learned all the old ways of his people on this isolated tropical planet. He learned respect for elders, reverence for family, and the virtues that would become so central to the Sith ideology: only through strength could one live truly free. Tamazal studied well in his academic family, and his parents of course encouraged such learning. A question of “chicken or egg” would rise in his life. Did the esoteric studies in which the youth regularly engaged trigger his latent sensitivity with the Force? Or did he always have it and it gravitated him naturally towards such enlightening works? Whatever the case, it earned Tamazal a place in the Sith Academy on Korriban. He traveled to his people’s home planet in honor and dignity: a fresh young pureblooded face. The imperial humans there resented him and made his trials all the more difficult.

Yet, through grit and wit, Tamazal excelled and left the bitter losers behind in ruin and tombs. His knowledge accrued and power swelled. He came under notice from the Dark Council. The dark lords sought to use his talents for their own end, but he always saw through their machinations with brilliant ease. Tamazal carefully avoided making unnecessary enemies, choosing to elude entanglements than crash through them. Thus did his meteoric rise to power seem to arrive from unknown space. Tamazal seemed to simply insinuate himself into the good graces of the highest members of the Empire and onto the Dark Council (such as by assisting the Tibanises on Gorse). His delight in the most profane of esoteric secrets earned him the title of Darth Depravus. If every Sith was driven by a particular passion above all, then Tamazal’s must have been curiosity. Thankfully, he was no cat.
