Tiwir Sujo

Tiwir's life was never his own. Traded first to the Empire by his father, then from lord to lord as a paperweight, he learned obedience and silence early. He carried out orders with conviction, committed atrocities in the Empire's name. Conquest was the only place he was allowed to exercise his will, and he exercised it fully. By the time he was made a general, there was nothing left of him that had not been shaped for command.
Instead of a fleet, he was given to Darth Palide. There he met Zilias, and together, they endured nearly a decade of deliberate servitude, carving out something resembling a life inside another man's shadow and raising an adopted child. When they escaped to Zhaka's court, Tiwir mistook distance for freedom, and exercised his will as best he knew how. It did not last. Zhaka cast him out. Lia deserted with the child. The Empire closed around him like a sealed wound, leaving him with nothing but the weight of what he had done and the knowledge that it had all been his choice. And, for the first time, solitude did not harden his resolve. Lia was the first thing he had ever chosen for himself alone. And when the choice finally came between her and everything else he had ever been, Tiwir burned his life down to make it.
