-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bio:

Saul Eryth was born in the walled city of "the promised land" that was founded after the destruction of Taris by the Leviathan. Born around 49 btc, Saul was thought to be a strange mystic. One day a republic embassy shuttle landed and witnessed Saul's abilities and deemed to show him to the council (45 btc) before they headed to Coruscant they made a stop at Illum to issue a Republic decree, but they were hijacked by an Imperial vessel. Imperial agents fired at everyone on board, and set their sights at the boy. But their leader Teran, saw promise in the boy and took him on their freighter to Dromund Kaas.

Teran asked the Council of Lords if he could take Saul as his apprentice, they accepted but deemed he still had to take the Sith trials. Teran taught Saul strange teachings, that almost had nothing to do with the Sith belief. He made their training secret, and he taught him how to be effective in light-saber combat, rather sacrificing offensive force powers, to combat enhancing strengths. The day of the Sith trials (33 btc) Saul had failed the written test, knowing seemingly nothing of the Sith beliefs. He was to be tortured and punished, but Teran wouldn't allow it. He struck down the overseer and the two fled.

However the dark lord Darth Keldis appeared and Teran engaged him telling Saul to board the ship and leave. Teran was overwhelmeing the Dark Lord until he exploited Teran's weakness. He parried Teran's strike and lunged after Saul, Teran followed hastily and then the Keldis turned around and stabbed Teran in his chest. Saul ran over to Teran and Teran whispered "remember all that I taught you, do not let your emotion become an oppression to others, but use it to ward of darkness. I am sad I ever turned to darkness, but you were my hope. Don't let them steal your heart to lust for power, for true strength comes through mercy"

Keldis took Saul and escorted him before the Council of Lords. They told him he had two options, either serve them, or die like his master. Saul reluctantly agreed, hoping to find plot his vengeance. To prove his loyalty he was to go out and become a pawn of the Sith. For many years Saul wrought vengeance upon the enemies of the empire. Although he did spare those who asked for mercy in secret, and even slew some of his allies who would exploit his rogue ways.

(btc 10) Saul's mission was to take a small squadron of Sith warriors to deal a silent strike on Alderaan. When the shuttle landed, a blinding flash of light overcame all of Saul and his adversaries. Soon Saul found himself surrounded by Jedi. One of them spoke up and asked him who he worked for. Saul then pleaded to the Jedi about everything that had happened to his master and told them his story, and how he wished that he had never been apart of the Sith, but his Master intended well.

The Jedi Master Thaun then spoke to Saul saying that if he turned to the Jedi order and pledged loyalty that he would be accepted. Saul accepted, and soon Master Thaun became Saul's mentor. The Jedi then were all astounded at Saul's eagerness to uphold the code, and soon garnered respect despite his dark past. But the empire would not take Saul's abandonment likely. To preserve his identity and make him harder to track he was given a new mantle: Paul of Taris.

Okay for the really short version for lazy bones: Saul born in Taris picked up by a republic freighter, hijacked by a sith freighter, and became the apprentice of a "sith" light-saber master Teran Keldis. Although Saul was taught different teachings that weren't really sith at all. Saul fails the sith trials, his master protects him, dies by a sith lord trying to save Saul, tells Saul his last wisdom to not use emotion for hatred and brutality but mercy and defense, and that Teran was sorry for ever falling to the darkside, but saw in Saul the power to balance strong emotion and feeling in combat, with mercy. (something Teran tried to do but wasn't taught properly and was seduced by the dark side).

So Saul then has to the dirty work of the sith empire, and does so reluctantly and tries to use the least brutal tactics as possible offering mercy to the who surrender, and slays others who try to turn Saul in to the dark council. On his mission to Alderaan with other sith warriors, he was stunned by powerful Jedi, and met Master Thaun and Saul explained his story and pleaded to be taught the way of the Jedi. Master Thaun became Saul's new mentor, and lickity split Saul is now respected amongst the Republic and helps out the Saints and all is well.
