Sorry it's so long, but I kind of let it get away from me. I think I might have worked in every space opera cliche but amnesia and "the chosen one."

Hair: White, with dark forelock
Eyes: White
Appearance:
Attun is half-Arkanian and as such shares the pale white coloration and pupiless eyes of his mother. Unlike his mother and other "true" Arkanians though, his human bloodline exposed the genetic defects marking the Bek clan as hybrid Arkanians. Instead of four clawed fingers, Attun possesses five fairly normal looking ones on either hand; and unlike either of his parents he has distinctively pointed ears that are considered culturally abhorrent to the Arkanians.
Otherwise Attun is tall and well-muscled, with broad shoulders and the stern chin that is reminiscent of his father's. Like most other Arkanians, Attun has hair of pure white, except for a dark forelock that appears to be courtesy of several of Attun's Fel relatives. Attun has but a single tattoo, a deep crimson stripe that bisects his face from forehead to chin. Attun wears a perpetual frown on his face that turns into a sneer when he finds someone weak or unchallenging.
Attun has no particularly distinctive pattern to the clothing he wears, preferring to dress practically or to fit in with the company he's keeping. His lightsaber is unmistakable though, formed from a single pure Arkanian Sabrata gemstone absolutely clear in color with the cyan ignition chamber designed to continually dance with a dim light from the inside.
Background:
Attun "Winter" Bek-Fel was perhaps born to have a chip on his shoulder. The Arkanian-Human half-breed was the product of the Imperial trade mission to Arkania, where a young cousin to the Emperor and Imperial Knight named Morghan Fel fell into a relationship with Attun's mother, a highborn woman who was the daughter of his Arkanian diplomatic counterpart. When diplomatic talks began to fall apart, Attun's grandfather Jaro convinced his mother to use her influence to manipulate the young royal. Sensing betrayal thanks to his Force training, Morghan became enraged and struck at the woman and mutilating her with searing arcs of force lightning. Despite being immediately regretful, the diplomatic mission was compromised and relations between the two people turned chilly until they spilled over into a short, uncompromising conflict leading to the Arkanian's full capitulation and surrender.
Despite her grievous wounds, Attun's mother survived her ordeal and discovered herself with child. Unfortunately for her, Attun's birth reveal genetic abnormalities within her family's bloodline. Disgraced, outcast, and in the heat of the desperate conflict between the Empire and her people, the Bek family fled their homeworld on a small freighter to find a new home. For several years the funds of several lifetimes of successes sustained the family, until a series of disastrous trading missteps brought the family to its knees.
In dire financial straits, Attun's grandfather made various deals and counter-deals with several Hutts to refinance and refurbish the dilapidated freighter
Jolly Man that the family lived in. The deals were arranged to assure mutual betrayal and ultimate infighting between the Hutts who held the Bek financial markers, which is exactly what happened. Rival Hutt bounty hunters pursued the freighter and fought with each other in a wash of bloodshed for several months until Attun's mother was captured by the Hutt crimelord Zorka Mano. Filled with rage and over the objections of his grandfather, Attun left the safety of his family freighter and began a one man war against the Hutt's operations which led him squarely into the middle of an Imperial black ops also aimed at the Hutt's interference in Imperial shipping.
Attun became uneasy allies with the Imperials, eventually falling in love with Koreline Veem, the daughter of Imperial Grand Moff Veem. The operations took a dangerous turn when Attun and Koreline themselves became captives of the Hutt's bodyguards, only to escape just ahead of an explosion which destroyed the hidden space station the Hutt used as a hideout, presumably killing Attun's mother as well.
Despondent, Attun turned to drink and stims to make the pain go away. Eventually Koreline found him in a broken down jungle cantina and helped him get sober. Then, using her connections as the Grand Moff's daughter, Attun was given a new identity and commissioned as an Imperial Pilot. Together the two lovers planned a life, except for the attention of Nyna Calixte, lover of Veed and jealous of the attentions of the father toward his only daughter.
Attun and Koreline were drafted into dark Force training program that Calixte had established using Imperial Knight protocols and off of any official record. Unlike the more established Imperial Knights though, Calixte's training program had few safeguards against falling to the dark side and the group was rife with defection and insubordination. Attun and Koreline secretly wed and got with child while their Force trainer and Calixte's creature, Mora Kol, continued their "education." Finally Attun was pronounced suitable for duty, while Koreline was heavy with child. Ill at ease to part from each other, Attun resisted but was coaxed into action by his wife to "do his duty."
Attun was sent to Caamas in advance of a major operation along with a squad of his fellow Imperial black ops force users and a mysterious robed Sith female known only as Darth Sadow. Through their efforts of sabotage and intelligence gathering, victory was assured; but Attun was nearly slain when one his fellow agents attempted to cut him down from behind with a lightsaber. Strangely the Sith known as Darth Sadow saved him and slew the betraying Imperial, and then revealed herself to be Attun's mother, now fully converted to the dark side. Sadow sought to convert Attun and mocked his emotions toward Koreline as a weakness. The two fought and Attun was disarmed and at his mother's mercy, but she let him live and disappeared.
Attun was troubled as he returned, haunted by dark thoughts and images of his mother. Things were not improved when he returned to Bastion and found Koreline on her deathbed after giving birth to their son. Worse, switched by Calixte's agents, the child shown to him looked nothing like him. Enraged by her betrayal and over her pleas of innocence, Attun left Koreline to die alone.
Calixte might not have intended what happened next, as Attun slew most of the deck crew manning the Predators and several of his fellow agents. Stealing one of the dark-winged fighters, Attun flew through hyperspace to the Sith Temple to join their ranks. Once there his mother embraced him, before backhanding him across the room. His true training had begun.
Personality:
Attun respects no one, not even himself, because they cannot be trusted. Everyone, every kindness is a pretext for betrayal. He especially despises intimate relationships, relishing exposing them for the emotional fakery that are built upon. Attun seeks revenge, but his fury cannot find any targets. Instead he keeps his rage contained tightly, unleashing it like a sunstorm to destroy those that would oppose him or displease him.
Attun can be quiet much of the time, and then unleash vitriolic rants and fits of violence at the least bit of provocation. Attun is especially harsh on those that remind him of Koreline, delighting in unleashing the Force upon them to fracture their minds and lead them to madness.
Quote:
"
Yes. Cry for me, beg me for mercy. Beg me so I might deny you, and let the blackness inside your own heart consume you."
Notes:
Winter is his call sign.
Though Attun is a Fel, he's unaware of the fact. His mother knows, and presumably his grandfather does as well if he's still alive. As far as he knows the reason his family left Arkania was because he wasn't "pure" enough to satisfy Arkanian society.
Consequentially, though Attun is truly more human than Arkanian he still refers to himself as Arkanian simply because visually he seems to look more Arkanian than baseline human.
Presumably, Koreline and Attun's child is still alive somewhere in the care of Imperial agents. For that matter, Attun left before Koreline died, so it's possible she got better and is lurking around as well. The freighter
Jolly Man is still out there too, full of relatives that have all turned their backs on Attun and let him come to this.
Attun probably still have several Hutt bounties on his head, though the Hutts will probably be much more cautious about going against him directly any longer.
