Brakiss
a former student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Brakiss
was fairly gifted with the Force. Brakiss was stolen from his family by the
Imperial forces that occupied his homeworld of Msst, recognizing his
potential for using the Force. He was reonditioned, and was later
employed as a spy, sent to determine the extend of the threat posed by
the renewal of the Jedi Knights under Luke Sywalker. When Luke sent
Brakiss on an illusionary quest, Brakiss could not reconcile the Light and
Dark Sides of the Force, torn between Luke's Academy and the Empire.
He fled Yavin 4, and went into hiding until he was discovered by Dolph,
another of the failed students of Skywalker's praxeum. Dolph had
renamed himself Kuellar, and was developing his own scheme to take
control of the galaxy. He set up Brakiss on Telti, overseeing an automated
droid construction facility. Brakiss' droids were implanted with detonators
that could be set off via a remote control help by Dolph/Kuellar. Dolph
also used Brakiss as a way to lure Luke to Almania, where he planned to
used Skywalker as bait. Brakiss fled back to Telti, where he hid among his
droids. In the meantime, Brakiss' mother encountered Luke on Msst, and
explained that Brakiss was waiting to kill him on Telti. The two battled on
the desert moon, and Brakiss nearly turned back to the Light Side. He
failed, and returned to the droids. The secluded life among the droids was
shattered when Cole Fardreamer discovered the link between the
detonation in the Senate Assembly Chamber on Coruscant and the
rigged droids. He exposed Brakiss' part in the plot, and Brakiss fled once
again. He later set up the Shadow Academy in the Core Systems. He did
so out of his deep belief that the Jedi were needed to help preserve the
order of the Empire, not the Republic. Brakiss looked forward to the day
when the so-called Second Imperium would overthrow the New Republic,
and when his Imperial Jedi were able to defeat Luke Skywalker's Jedi.
When a reborn Emperor Palpatine began controlling the Second
Imperium, Brakiss gladly bowed to his true master’s rule. However,
the Emperor’s solitary nature and lack of respect for Brakiss’
accomplishments disillusioned him. He became frustrated with the
Emperor when he arrived at the Shadow Academy, shortly before the
attack on Kashyyyk. After the deaths of Vonnda and Ra and Garowyn in
the Kashyyyk jungles, Brakiss declared the mission a success because of
the computer components they had stolen. He felt that the loss of the two
Nightsisters was an accepted loss. In the wake of the raid on Kashyyyk,
the Shadow Academy began gearing up for an attack on Yavin 4. Spurred
on by Palpatine’s commands, Brakiss and Tamith Kai invaded the
Jedi Academy’s defenses and nearly defeated Luke’s students.
However, several setbacks suffered by Tamith Kai and Brakiss’ Dark
Jedi turned the battle in favor of the Jedi, and Brakiss appealed to
Palaptine for direction. He discovered, though, that there was no
Palpatine. The appearance of the Emperor was being perpetrated by four
former Imperial Royal Guards. The Dark Side of the Force flooded
Brakiss, and he quickly dispatched three of the four guards. The fourth
escaped the Shadow Academy, but not before setting off the station’s
self-destruct systems. Brakiss was unable to escape from the doomed
station, and died in the explosion. Brakiss was distinguishable by his
smooth skin, blond hair, and the uncanny perfection.
