Tiwir Sujo was born during a blizzard and raised on stories of ancestors who endured the cold to protect his homeland. But the homeland wasn’t grateful, and his family was exiled when he was eleven. The cold of Orto Plutonia took his mother, and it was only the Sith answering a desperate distress signal that saved him. At fourteen, he enlisted to help his family reclaim their place. Instead, they betrayed him, leaving him alone at twenty. A general with nothing but the Empire to call his own. Instead of a fleet, he was given to Darth Palide. There, he met Zilias, and together they endured nearly a decade of servitude, carving a life inside Palide’s shadow and raising an adopted child. Their escape led them to Zhaka’s court, where for a time Tiwir believed himself free. But within a year it all unraveled. Zhaka cast him out, Lia deserted with their child, leaving Tiwir’s only company a Changeling’s smile. He knows the cold will take him someday, but still he cannot help but march into it. Born to winter, shaped by it, every path he has known has only driven him deeper into the frost. And when it finally closes over him, he will have no right to be surprised. After all, this is what he deserves.
