Darth Sophis
The Patrician
Description: Aristophon Cecrophis was born into House Cecrophis during an age in which Ziost was second planet of the Empire, and in which his House was one of the oldest and most respected of the planet's bloodlines. From the Cecrophis estates on the chilly shores of the Hyperborean Sea, Aristophon was raised to take the throne of his family. Groomed to be a philosopher, a diplomat and an administrator, he took to these disciplines well - but none more so than the former. Raised not as a traditionalist, but as a firm believer in aristocratic superiority, the inherent flawedness of any culture stemming from a planet outside of the Stygian Caldera, and in the glory of the Empire, Aristophon was the envy of the Ziosti socialite sphere. His handsome, aquiline profile earned him many suitors, and he started a romance with the heir of House Leontis, a smaller noble house with a military focus also from the region of his birth. He graduated from the Kaasian Academy, and entered the Sphere of Sith Philosophy as an Apprentice, and then later a Sith. His romance with his sweetheart was formalised into a marriage, and soon after a family as their first child was born. Then, the seminal tragedy of the Empire struck. Lord Sophis, as he was known at the time, was heading home when he was prevented from making planetfall and placed in one of the orbital stations. A crisis had hit the planet, and an evacuation was taking place. Before his family could join him, Sophis was forced to watch his planet die, devoured by his own Emperor. Many say that the grey streak in Sophis' hair dates back to this event, growing in when he watched all he cared for die, hopeless to intervene. Despite this loss, or perhaps because of it, he threw himself into his work. Becoming a Darth a few years later, he now heads an ICOT-forged scheme to spread Imperial culture across the Outer Territories, though the cane headed by a representation of Ziost's orb in his hands stands as a reminder of his love for what was lost.
