Known biography of
Rear Admiral Japheth Cappadocious
Krath Priest

History:

Japheth Cappadocious was born on the planet Inorae, and lived there in relative peace for many years. His family was well to do and had many interests in the economy, however, most of the money came from mining, anything from precious metals to precious gems. They were also good friends with the Nizitril family, who were the people who sold most of what the Cappadocians mined.

Shortly after starting school at a nearby university he was offered membership in a prestigious secret society for those with large and influential families. He accepted and began to learn their ways. He learned that they had maintained the power and influence of their families in rather unorthodox fashions, and when he was ordered to assist in this, he declined, and contacted the authorities.

Through a complex web of contacts and deals the authorities were distracted and diverted, and units were deployed to take care of Japheth. He was captured and brought back to them. Following some negotiations, it was agreed that he would leave the planet, and there would be adverse consequences if he should return.

He left, in a small transport, headed for nowhere in particular. He had enough money to last him for a while, but he knew he would need to find some sort of work. Weeks went by without any real prospects. He moved from region to region and encountered many different governing bodies. Space had fragmented considerably since the death of the Emperor, and many smaller groups were fighting for dominance. He was forced to fight off many pirate gangs who attempted to loot everything he had. He worked odd jobs for what seemed like, and probably was, years.

Eventually he found one he considered to be a bit more stable and to his liking than the others, and Imperial faction called the Vast Empire. Inorae was more or less independent, but Japheth had always preferred the Imperial style. He signed up at the Naval Academy and began his training and testing. Japheth surprised himself and his instructors with his skill in the cockpit. They had seen few pilots of such natural skill. While all admitted that he probably wasn't the best, he was still regarded as one of the most proficient they'd seen. He was assigned to the newly founded Aegis Squadron under then Officer Candidate Riel Fury. He served there for quite some time as Aegis 4, flying his TIE Fighter for the glory of the Empire.

He advanced quite quickly through the ranks, and when his squadron commander was promoted to be the Naval Executive Officer he gained an appointment as his adjutant for a time. Shortly thereafter the Special Operations Fleet and Wing were formed, and Venom Squadron was created. Japheth was appointed as Venom Squadron's commander, and later the SpecOps Wing Commander, and was replaced as the NXO's adjutant. After a two month stint he was promoted out of the SpecOps fleet and now serves as the Naval Executive Officer.

It is known that Japheth Cappadocious harbors some potential with what has been called "the Force" he does carry the renownd weapon of Force-user fame, a lightsaber, and has a tendency to wear dark robes. Several months after he began carrying a lightsaber there was a noticable and sharp change in his demeanor. He often speaks cryipticly or in a very old fashon. He has become a lot more reclusive and seems to have lost at least some of his more youthful behaviors.

Whereas Japheth was formally a wildly open and friendly person he has become more introspective and contemplative. He is known to lock himself in his quarters for long periods of time for meditation. Often his duties with the Dark Jedi Order take him away from his tasks with the Navy for long stretches of time.
