Bio:
Ardus Creeve was born on a colony ship, drifting through space for the first year of his life, before his family eventually settled on Dantooine. He lived out a happy, normal childhood on the placid world for three years before the start of the Galactic Civil War. It would be during this turbulent time in galactic events that a man, known only by the name of Cain, arrived and began to make regular visits to Ardus' childhood home. Over time, Cain formed a loose relationship with Creeve's parents, one that he would eventually attempt to exploit in a bid to convince his parents to give their child over to the Jedi for training. At first, they resisted, refusing to give up their only child to a stranger who, at the time, claimed to be a Jedi.
As the months passed by, however, threatening to bleed into years, Cain, who had so fervently tried to gain the trust of Ardus' parents through deceit, realized that he was running out of time in which to accomplish his mission. Acting out of necessity, he revealed his true nature as a Dark Side Adept. More specifically, one of the infamous Emperor's Hands agents. He revealed this information unabashedly to Creeve's parents shortly before he slaughtered them and stole away with their child. Initially, his goal was to return the boy to the Emperor so that he could train him as another of his Force adept agents.
However, having sensed the raw power and untapped potential that would no doubt be squandered under the incredulous leader of the Empire, Cain took the child on as his own apprentice after staging an elaborate scheme to make it appear as if though he had been ambushed and killed while on assignment, his aim to fool the Emperor so that he would not become suspicious and initiate a search for the missing pair. The plot worked, much to Cain's great surprise.
In the intervening years following his Master's ruse, Ardus spent sixteen years learning under Cain, taking in all of the knowledge he possibly could about the Force, vowing to use his abilities to eventually overthrow the Emperor and establish a new galactic leadership under their rule. His Master was able to mold and shape his impressionable young mind and imbue him with Sith ideals, creating a being that lived in darkness, emerging only to strike down his most despised enemy when the time was right.
He was taught never to trust a single being beyond himself and how to manipulate others around him as little more than mere tools, to be used and disposed of at his whim, to gain his ends. As his years of tutelage progressed, however, Ardus took his Master's words to heart. At the age of nineteen, with the defeat of the Emperor and the fracturing of the Galactic Empire, he realized that he had used the aging man as a tool to gain knowledge of the Force, and that he had now outlived his usefulness in this endeavor as he could now teach himself how to further manipulate and utilize the Force to construct a new Empire under his sovereign will.
Caring little for honor or tact in usurping his now withered mentor, Ardus killed him in cold blood one day during his meditation session and proclaimed himself to be a Sith Master in the process. From there, Creeve set his sights upon the galaxy, his new hopes and desires to see an Empire built out of the ashes of the Civil War by his hands.
