Zekera. The last name of the stubborn mercenary Crystaall and her many relatives who she will never meet face-to-face. But this is not only a last name, it is the name of a powerful Force user. One who ha studied and created items with Sith Alchemy the best she could in her current time period. These scattered items being left for her descendants alone, meant to give them help in battle, or perhaps amplify their connection to the Force. The name of Darth Zekera has been never found out, nor are her descendants aware of her actual name. The three children she gave birth to, Haein, Zekera II and Xerno would have followed their mother to the grave, should the need have arisen. Instead, Xerno took his mother's words about a 'Prophecy' and crafted a tome that spoke nothing of how it should be carried out to the letter. When the tome was finished, long after their beloved mother's death, Xerno was stabbed in the back by his brother Haein, who then took the tome and ensured that when the right descendant came along, he would see to it that everything was done to perfection. Zekera II was not aware of her brothers, nor were they aware of her. Being the literal 'second version' of Zekera, she trained as her mother did, but among many warriors, scholars and travelers, expanding her knowledge of the universe past what her mother had taught her. In time, Zekera V came into the universe, and in doing so, the Original Zekera took control of her body, threw her great-great-great-grand daughter's spirit into the Force, to be never seen or heard from. Zekera's childhood, was not that of slavery, but of a rich house noble servant. This House's name is not known, but it her teens, Zekera discovered her skill with the Force, and did her best to practice and teach herself in secret. Within a few years, she took the entire House's family heirs hostage and demanded the House be renamed to her own. When they refused, one of the heirs died holding his throat, another thrown into a pole which impaled them and another fell to the ground as a lifeless body. The House quickly changed their minds, never having witnessed the Force until now. Zekera then became the House leader and put her goals on finding others that had her same power, and making them a Zekera member. The House of Zekera expanded quite nicely, and the previous house became their servants, who were trained by a hired assassin to lurk, sneak and kill in the shadows. When the servants became skilled in this, the assassin left the House of Zekera, half-expecting the House to fall because of the servant's new training. To the servant's surprise, Zekera got wise during her short time leading as she entered her early twenties and saw their devious plans just by staring into their eyes. Over a dozen servants died as she laughed maniacally. "Only those with my power, can topple my House. You are all nothing but insects." she stated. And since that day, she has saw every non-force user as an insect, a person who was not worth her time. It soon became relevant to her that other Force users like the Sith might try to kill her, so she went to find the Sith, be trained by them, and her house was temporarily led by her only trusted son, Haein. Her studies in the power of the Force and her practice in Sith Alchemy had her escalate to the rank of Darth. The now Darth Zekera, returned to the seat of her house, and claimed that when the Zekera who rules dies, the one who takes power, is the one who lives through the battle they have with their siblings. It's obvious Xerno forgot about this, and Haein used his own knowledge in Alchemy to take out his heart and store it in the place where House Zekera was born. It has never been found, and Haein has lived for 700 years, watching the House grow in power as his servants watch his families moves closely and terrorized his only daughter who became stronger than the 'Prophecy' predicted. Recently Haein has noticed the return of Velleta, but he has also noticed the return of his mother, which both women frighten him. Velleta's skill in dark and secret arts, and Zekera's pure tenacity to see things done in her own eyes, whether it be done by her or another. The only message Haein got for Zekera's return was, "Mother requests your presence at the House of Old."
