| - Kuro Kass' Zorn was a Human male from the Dune Sea of Tatooine. Born in prelude to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, he was taken in and raised by the vicious Mandalorians known as the Sand Kings, and taught the more barbarous mindset of that clan. This was subsequent to the slaughter of his family by the Sand Kings, yet Kuro would come to regard this fact as essential for his growth into the man he would become. After the death of his father and the desolation of the Sand Kings, he deserted the desert planet and traveled the galaxy alone for several years; the mastery of his preternatural powers his goal. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, in addition to studying both arcane teachings and novel theories on aspects of the Force. Dressing as a shadow to prey on the fear in others and constructing a pair of unique lightsabers, he took on the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, thus becoming Darth Azazel in conclusion to his travels. Intelligent and cunning, Azazel was a man who sought the annihilation of the natural galaxy, to be replaced by a perfected offshoot of Humanity as the singular inhabitants of the stars. To this end, he became affiliated with the Allied Systems Alliance as one of its most promising researchers, and at the same time participated in illicit activities on multiple fronts by infiltrating the Galactic Empire as one of its elite Strom Commandos. Over the course of the first Galactic Civil War, Azazel began experiments on his new race; having weaved together Mysha Zhao as his first prototype. Obsessed with his experimentations, he had little time to waste on furthering his actual military forces and so dispatched Zhao on many missions to groom the galaxy for its coming cleansing in his stead. Through the course of his campaign to remake a galaxy that he saw as on the threshold of desolation, he was dogged almost endlessly by the Ex-Jedi Master Kostya Vo, who attempted on several occasions to bring the Dark Lord to justice for the death of his family. When the first death of Palpatine concluded the Battle of Endor, Azazel began subtly moving against the New Republic and Imperial Remnant, the two most obvious barriers to the realization of his vision. Finally, he openly declared war on the galaxy in 19 ABY with the bombardment of Empress Teta, and the occupation of several key worlds throughout the space lanes. However, his Great Purging, as it would come to be called, was transitory, in spite of the massive devastation to his enemies and several planets. Nevertheless, his troops were slowly beaten back between a combined counterattack by both New Republic and Imperial forces, helped considerably by Mysha Zhao, Azazel's very own apprentice. After much intense battle, the coalition fleet managed to trap Azazel and his last ships above Coruscant, as the Sith Lord made one last drive at the galactic core. Following a short dual aboard his flagship, Azazel was tricked into a moment of weakness by Zhao and subsequently impaled on one of his own blades by Kara Socrata. Though the Sith Lord's body had been brought to death, Zhao would later claim that he had witnessed the spirit of his father escape his flagship and flee into the vastness of space. This claim was never proven byound a doubt, but many were said to have seen a cloaked shadow of a man wandering the undercity of Coruscant. His body was taken to Helios by the Ash'rak following the Treaty of Mozia, where it was strung up by a hangman's noose above the entrance to the Enclave Temple that had served as his base of operations from the early days of the Purging, as a confirmation of his demise.
