nsters, they came to the dead Sith Lord's grave. As Mercenary watched the squads back, the doors slammed shut behind him. With Xarses, Levy and Marr inside! As Mercenary tried to break his way back into the tomb, he heard horrible screaming coming from his comrades, he knew it was hopeless, they had been brutally killed by The Shade Of Marka Ragnos, Black Company were dead. And that day still haunts Mercenary's mind, to this day.

Dark Side Rising[]
"Alo, I want to quit!" -Mercenary to Aloquar when he quit the Mandalorian Guild.
At 23 Merc was tired of the way Mandalorian Guild had become, the declining squad numbers and lack of missions had taken their toll on the squad, and Merc was angry. And with that, Merc quit the squad and left for the temple, seeking work. He talked to his friend Padme Heart, who recruited him into her war against Dark Nebula.
Turning his back on the Mandalorians Mercenary put on his Sith armour and built an base on Umbara. Gathering many followers, Merc continued in his war, fighting against Nebula and enemies of himself.
Dromund Kaas[]
"Wha......what are you doing!" - Mercenary after being captured by Sith.
At 24, Merc recieved a holo-letter with hyper-space co-ordinates to an unknown sector. Getting in his freighter Merc set off for the mysterious planet...
After arriving in the sector Merc hovered above the storm covered planet. Suddenly, Mercenary's ship was boarded and he was captured. Taken to planets surface and drugged, Merc was put in a cell. For one week Merc lay in the cell, his vision blurred by the drugs, until he was taken to the colossal palace in Kaas City.
Laid before a hooded Sith, who name was Lord Scourge, he was questioned repeatedly. After he proved to powerful to be broken he was taken to the legendary Emperor, who had lived since The Great Hyperspace War, he was twisted and broken until he was weak enough for the Emperor to dominate his mind. He then served the Emperor's will and was taken back to Coruscant, now a spy for the Emperor.

The Sith Temple
When instructed to have a training session against Trainind Droid T67, Merce picked up his gear and headed for the arena. Drawing his saber Merc dueled the droid until its electrostaff hit him in the chest. Then Merc remembered it all. Destroying the droid, Merc ran to his quarters and picked up a blaster. He traveled through the corridors, blending in, until he reached the Academy door. Merc dispatched the two guards on duty and went outside.
Upon exiting, the guards outisde the base attacked the fleeing Merc. The Mandalorian was greatly outnumbered but he challenged them anyway, shooting them down as they attacked.
