Ragnaro Aiterus

"I.. Am... Sith'ari.''"

- Emperor Ragnaro Aiterus to a frightened and defeated Jedi

Ragnaro Aiterus was a Massassi Sith warrior during the Great Hyperspace war. He followed Naga Sadow loyally until his defeat. When Naga Sadow was defeated most Sith followed Vitiate. But Ragnaro made his own empire. Named after his father the Upari Empire took on any Massassi and Dark Jedi willing to help the cause. Ragnaro placed his followers into a stasis to maintain them until a time which he dubbed "The Awakening".

Early years
As a young boy Ragnaro Aiterus trained under brutal conditions to become a Massassi Warrior. His father Upari Aiterus, was ruthless on the boy however Ragnaro's mother was kind and gentle. Ragnaro loved his mother and despised his father. Upari saw this love and sought to teach Ragnaro a lesson about the dark side. Upari slaughtered Ragnaro's mother in cold blood and then made Ragnaro feel responsible. This burden would be carried by the young Aiterus his hole life.

Dark Jedi Arrival
When the Je'daii warriors from Tython arrived on Korriban to embrace the dark side most Sith were reluctant to side with the otherwise considered enemies and trespassers. However a young Ragnaro took pity on them seeing a way to corrupt them in to following him. Ragnaro was an outstanding spokesmen and swayed many Dark Jedi to become his friends and followers. Ragnaro called himself the "Darkness Incarnate" to which many Dark Jedi liked the idea. However Ragnaro could only ever sway those Dark Jedi who had caught a grasp of the Sith language. Ragnaro never knew how to speak anything other than Sith until very later in his life.

Ritual of Necromancy
Ragnaro Aiterus wished to become a powerful Sith Lord like all over ego Sith. However Ragnaro had one advantage on his side. He knew strong force wielders who were pushing their abilities of Sith Alchemy to the max. Ragnaro seen a way here to both up his own power and his fellow Sith. Ragnaro approached the Sith Alchemists with a deal. Give him a way to live for eternity and in exchange he would bring death to anyway they desired. The Alchemists were foolish enough to believe Ragnaro and so began a long and painful ritual where they forced Ragnaro into a state of permanent death. Ragnaro was on the verge of death his entire life holding back the pain, agony and discomfort this brought he realised he was able to live incredibly longer and he gained more power and more years of life the more he killed people.

Great Hyperspace War
Thousands and thousands of years passed with Ragnaro practising his skills. Eventually when Naga Sadow stood forward and called upon a war with the Republic, Ragnaro followed him loyally seeing his strength and power. Ragnaro fought during the Great Hyperspace war however he would aim straight for high priority targets believing them to be an actual challenge. It is thought that Ragnaro killed at least 700 Jedi and about 400 civilians during the war. Eventually earning himself a ship which he named "Fire's Path". Ragnaro began to make loyal friends through combat and eventually learnt Huttesse and a tiny bit of basic from some fellow Sith. However he hated speaking basic. Eventually when Naga Sadow failed and was defeated Ragnaro called upon his firneds and fellow Sith to join him. Ragnaro never thought Vitiate to be weak but beleived that a shadow of darkness is more powerful than a curtain of darkness.

Deep Slumber into Deep Space
Ragnaro persuaded many to join him but he only accepted the strong and valiant. He called upon two of his closest friends and turned them into his beacons of power. One becoming the 'Voice of Upari' the other the 'Wrath of Upari'. The voice would speak in all languages on behalf of Ragnaro and the Wrath would kill those that Ragnaro had not the time for. Ragnaro then used the force and his ships life supports to place all of his followers into stasis. Ragnaro then flew his ship to the Unknown Territory and waited. And waited. And waited. For he knew the Awakening would come.
