Stats are to follow)Professor Milius Nir'kaMilius was born to a wealthy family of humans, predictably hailing from the higher levels of Coruscant. Although his father, Merchant Prince Aureleus Nir'ka, was an important business man and government official, he strived to make time for his only son by taking him on business trips and staying very close to him. Milius' mother was one of Aureleus' many lovers. Ultimately, Aureleus cared far more about his son and apparent heir than he did about any of his concubines. As such, he set his many attendants to take care of Milius' every need. Incidentally, Milius really did need around the clock care, as he was always getting intro trouble, though it was not entirely intentional.From an early age, Milius demonstrated a tremendous curiosity. From the time that he tried to climb down a tree in Kashyyk, to the incident on Vor 5 in which he tried to interrupt the religious proceedings of the local people, Milius was never far from trouble. A number of his servants were chastised for the behavior, but eventually Milius was wrangled in line as the servants began to fear losing sight of him.It wasn't long before the Jedi had began to communicate with Aureleus about training. It was already fortold that Milius would be especially gifted in more obscure knowledge regarding the force, and the Jedi did all that they could to have the child in their care. It had come down to a well crafted lie, in which Aureleus was told that the Jedi training would be more like a boarding school. Little did the merchant prince know that the tour of duty was an indefinite one. Eventually, Aureleus tried to get his son back, but a number of well placed words and revealed evidence soon brought Aureleus' business empire down on itself. He slowly recovered, but no longer did he have either the resources to track his son down, or the political clout to make demands of the Jedi Council.Milius himself was largely unaware of his father's absence, though troubled dreams of his happy childhood haunt him to this day. So far, he knows very little of his heritage, and would be rather surprised to find such a thing out. Aureleus himself is still looking.During his formative years at the academy, Milius did poorly in his combat training, and was often in trouble for neglecting his excercise. On an average day, he would hide away in the libraries during excercise time, and learned as much as he possibly could. It wasn't long before he was given over as a padawan to one of the Jedi Librarians, Rhea Ohwan, with whom he shared a great rapport.It was as if Milius had finally found his niche in life. His hunger for knowledge was unending, and there he was, in one of the largest libraries in the galaxy. Before long, he had already mastered a number of mundane subjects, and was himself a living catalogue for a sizeable portion of the Academy Library. Although he had wanted to live in the library until the end of his days, his superiors, Rhea included, had worried about his relative seclusion. Getting close to his adulthood, he had shown no interest in taking a padawan, or even leaving the Jedi Academy. Milius had trouble with the concept of traveling like most Jedi did, so a compromise was reached, and he was allowed to teach. He would be allowed to stay near the libraries, but he would also have to do a great deal of teaching, and interacting with others, which pleased his superiors. Although Milius chaffes at having to teach, he has found that he has a knack for it. Slowly, he is learning to get along with his students. Instead of the dry teaching methods he learned from his collection of books, he is starting to treat his pupils like people, and even caring for them. Not surprisingly, this change has increased the number of troubling dreams he has had.A disturbing trend as of late has been Milius' curiosity about the Dark Side, and Sith Lore.  Milius has gotten the idea in his head that to combat the enemy, he must learn as much about them as he can. Despite the marked lack of available information on Sith Lore, Milius has taken to purchasing any books he can on the black market, and probably has one of the largest indipendantly owned collections of Sith Lore books on Coruscant. However, much of it is simply silly conjecture, theory, and fiction, which has probably muddled Milius' perception of the Sith. In spite of all of this, Milius has gleaned some interesting information. Though the misinformation has saved him from falling into the dark side, he is still at risk, especially as greater powers learn of his deep interest in Sith Lore. Milius is already playing with fire, and only his devotion to his students is keeping him from darkness.</blockquote>
