Biography

Adieumus Matango, born on Arkania to House Adasca, was the oldest child of three. He enjoyed a good life on Arkania, as his family was wealthy, and powerful, due to the ownership of Adascorp. Even as an infant, Adi showed great promise, and strength in the force. An unknown Jedi master was contracted to train the young man, from the time he was 2. As Adieumus' father was very busy with his position in the family company, he grew to know the Jedi as his father. Trained in the art of soresu, Adi proved a willing, and talented student, excelling in both normal and shien grips. Smatterings of Juyo were thrown in to his training, thereby giving him an extra edge in battle. His force prowess was also quite impressive, as he learned some advanced techniques quite rapidly, despite his early age. His strengths lent themselves to learning new skills quickly. He also showed much prowess in the more technical aspects of things, creating several servant droids for his family. He enjoyed creating weapons, and had his first lightsaber created by age three. He had to create it in secret, however, as his master would not allow him to create anything but a training saber. His training continued until he was 11, and the Extermination came......

Knowing that anyone that was identified as Arkanian, especially one of the more wealthy houses, Adieumus' mother desperately wanted to protect the eldest heir to the House of Adasca. She sealed his memories in a mystical black crystal. The ceremony put Adi into a coma-like stasis, from which he was supposed to awaken in three days. She did this for his own protection. Memory was a dangerous thing, and he would be safer when she evacuated him from Arkania. She had arranged for Adi to be placed on a refugee shuttle, and taken to a destination even she herself wouldnt know, to avoid it being tortured out of her. She gave her oldest son a final kiss on the forehead, and sent him away to his destiny, tying the black crystal around his neck. She placed the family sword across his chest, a phrik katana, with gold accents. She watched as he was loaded onto the shuttle, tears streaming down her face.

Two days later, the shuttle had a major malfunction of the nav system, and ended up crash landing in the Jundland wasteland on Tatooine. During the crash, Adi was ejected from the wreck, and ended up face down in the sands. The only posessions on his person were the crystal, and the phrik blade. He was found by a sith lord who witnessed the crash. Feeling the intense connection to the force that the boy had, the Sith lord, known simply as Amaris, took the boy with him. He nursed Adi until he awoke several days later, dazed, confused, and his memory erased.

Amaris felt an immediate connection with the boy, and began training him in the ways of the darkside. Amaris, however, was disenchanted with the old ways, and encouraged Matango to find and follow his OWN path through the force. This gave Adieumus the unusual combination of kindness, strength, and pure, unadulterated evil power. He wielded, and quite effectively, force abilities from both the dark and light. Amaris also instructed Adi in the fine nuances and skills in several forms of martial arts. The training lasted for 12 long years....

When Adieumus turned 23, Amaris passed away, and Adi was left to his own devices. He left Tatooine, becoming a mercenary for hire, learning the ins and outs of ground and orbital warfare. It was during his time on board a merc fleet that he began to develop his technical skills again. He created a few small modifications to the weapon systems, making them FAR more effective. For five years, Matango travelled, making a living as a mercenary, and the occasional odd job. It was in these travels that he met Jak Amdala.

Amdala was involved in the fledgling New Republic, and as the two of them became friends, Matango became interested in this new movement. As they were looking for new blood to fill the seats, they eagerly brought the young man on board, and gave him the senatorial seat for Tatooine. He was new to politics, but he readliy and eagerly approached it as he had done his entire life, by devoting his entire being to making it work.

Several years passed, and Matango grew bored of the slow, safe, and quiet life of a Senator. He longed for the adventure and danger of the mercenary life. He stepped down from his seat in the Senate, and created a mercenary unit of his own.

Quick Response Delta, Matango's brainchild, was created by Adi in response to the disasterous results of special forces actions on Ossus, where supposedly elite troops were slaughtered by an opposing force comprised primarily of very lightly armed, and untrained, soldiers. The mistakes of the past were a learning tool to Matango, and the training he put the leaders of the new unit through was unlike anything previously done to ready troopers for battle. Adi moved throughout the universe, fighting alongside QRD, and gaining valuable combat experience with a well-trained special operations unit.

Feeling the need to return, and visit his old friend, Jak Amdala, Adi ventured to Mon Calimari, where he found that Jak had been elected Supreme Chancellor, and that the state of the Republic was not as good as when Matango left. Agreeing to stay on, and take the responsibility of the governorship of Honoghr, Matango again joined the New Republic.

When Adi arrived on Honoghr, the planet was devastated. The flora and fauna were destroyed by an unfortunate chemical accident, involving the chemical THX-1138. Employing some of the best scientists from across the galaxy, and a lot of his own ingenuity, the planet's ecosystem made a substantial rebound. The plants and trees began to grow again, the streams and rivers began to flow with the fresh, clean water they knew before the accident. Animal populations made a massive recovery in the explosion of new fauna. In a mere handful of months, Honoghr enjoyed much of its former beauty and glory. The capital city of Nystao, which was in ruin when Adi arrived, was rebuilt, and turned back into a sprawling metropolis. The citzenry, evacuated long ago, were returning in droves, and repopulating the planet. It was a grand sight to watch the planet grow from its desolate beginnings to its current beauty for Matango, yet, still, he wasnt satisfied.

Not content with the creation of QRD, Matango began to assemble a full-scale military for the protection of Honoghr and her allies, complete with newly-designed EMP rifles, his own design. His desire for tinkering had grown into an obsession to create new technology to employ in his armed forces. This is when he stumbled upon the idea for a weapon that would devastate the most important part of most every military force in the universe, the electronics.

Working closely with weapon technology specialists well-versed in less-than-lethal warfare, Matango, and his company, HNAC, developed a new type of orbital weapon, a capital-ship mounted EMP cannon. This enabled his fleets to take out enemy ships without killing a single member of the crew. It was a breakthrough discovery, as it not only was a devastating weapon when deployed against opposing fleets, but it spared the lives of the crews on those opposing ships. Employed immediately in his orbital forces, Honoghr became known rather quickly for being a technology-oriented military force, and Matango was beginning to enjoy his catapaulting into the limelight.

The real beginning of his current story begins with a small confontation with the New Republic over Alderaan. Matango, along with several members of the New Republic were deployed over Alderaan, in response to an apparent declaration of war. When it was all said and done, war had not been declared. The New Republic, however, was hell-bent on continuing the course of action already in motion, and proceeded to start the invasion. Matango, angered by this apparent lack of judgement on their part, turned his fleets AGAINST his allies, and ordered them to leave. They complied, but it set off a chain of events that would lead to the ultimate seccession of Honoghr from the New Republic. In response to what Adieumus felt was wrong with the New Republic, he created a new faction: L'Angele Noir.

Shortly after he created the new faction, he recieved a visit from a fellow Arkanian, and the current Queen of Arkania, Arhiia Concordia. During her stay on Honoghr, he grew quite fond of the charismatic, and charmingly beautiful, Jedi Master. She assisted him in regaining his lost memories, which, to Adieumus' utter surprise, revealed his connection to Arkania, House Adasca, and to Arhiia herself....

She attempted to pull him from the bleakness of the darkside, and with the revelation of his past, he readily agreed to go with her to Arkania, and fufil his promise to his "father". He would become a Jedi.....
