| - Cadden Blackthorne grew up on the planet Corellia. He was born to Faarel Blackthorne, Jedi Master in the Jedi Order, and Trina Blackthorne. Due to this complication, and that Cadden' Force-sensitivity was naturally masked, he was raised by both his mother and his grand-father, Akitane. When he reached seventeen years old, Cadden was accepted into the Imperial Military Academy on Carida. There, he continued his studies and graduated with honors as a soldier for the Galactic Empire. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Cadden continued his training as an elite warrior, recognized for his skills, and became a commando for the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. There, he became a sniper and forward assault soldier in the commando division, until he resigned his commission after learning of the Empire's raid on his family's estate on Corellia. Cadden went on to further hone his skills in piloting and bounty hunting, becoming a notorious bounty hunter. He eventually came across a suit of Mandalorian armor, and continued to work as a bounty hunter until after he captured, and later released, Cazzik Wyn. Afterwards, he went into the life of a mercenary and freedom fighter, and was the man responsible for a devastating explosion on Bilbringi. During this time, he came to realize his own strong connection to the Force, and that he had two sons also strong in the Force, Guan and Jerik. Eventually, he came to the planet Mandalore and was later dubbed Mandalore, leader of the Mandalorians. Cadden went on to form the Mandalorian Protectors, and led his people through many battles, particularly against the Xen'Chi. Cadden later fell to the Dark Side of the Force in pursuit of additional power, to aid him in the quest to avenge his father's death. This pursuit lead hastily to a well-conceived plan by the Nomad Soul to take over Cadden's body, a plan which had partially failed, and instead the two merged their souls into a single identity. Knowing he could never return to the Jedi Order, Cadden set out on his own, with but one ally to accompany him. His basis of allies grew, however, as Cadden released a cryogenically-frozen army in the Udine System, as well as Zan successfully recruiting several Jedi to their cause, despite the Kora Jedi Council denying them their aid. Cadden at that point severed what little connection to the Jedi Order he had and took up the name Darth Trayus. It was at this point he acknowledged his path into the Dark Side, however justified he would proclaim it to be, and harbored no regrets for anything he had done in the past. Using his newfound power, Trayus quickly moved to sieze the Sith Brotherhood and, later, the Shadow Imperium for himself, slaying all those that stood in his way. After establishing his new empire in its place, he proceeded to dominate the Cylon Imperium, and face off with Sivter for the first time. Any traces of who he once was were now gone, replaced by a dark abyss of anger, hatred, and most of all, vengeance. Darth Trayus eventually met his end after the Battle of Ossus, when he was captured by Cazzik Wyn and a handful of other Jedi. He was stripped of the ability to use the Force as punishment for his crimes and, upon learning that he did not guide his own actions, Cazzik took pity on him and exiled him afterwards. Cadden returned to Mandalore a broken man, whereupon he rejoined the Protectors' ranks.
