Focus: Azrakel

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“...and decided to expose him to the full force of the dark side. For weeks on end, the Emperor conducted his dark side experiments, hoping to see how long it would take for an unprepared mind to shatter. Time passed, and the Emperor grew bored and moved on to other matters.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“In secret and with the raw power of the dark side, Kadann recreated Azrakel. He trained the young man as he had been taught, providing him with the mentoring necessary to harness his power and strengthen his abilities”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“He was a blank slate upon which Kadann could create his own apprentice-a tool to use when and if he made his own play for control of the Empire”

Evil Never Dies: The Sith Dynasties wrote wrote:“was that Merili's mind seemed to partially exist there. She was thus not only able to witness coming events with uncanny clarity, but on rare occasion she was able to in fact manipulate them, much like a skilled Jedi Master can influence the outcome of a conflict using Battle Meditation. Needless to say, the stresses of temporal ambiguity made Merili's hold on reality tenuous at best.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“As Azrakel, the young man grew strong in body and in the Force. He became Kadann's secret weapon, his tool for performing covert acts that increased his own power and prestige.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“Azrakel was nothing more than raw hatred and anger, the dark side personified”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“In time, Azrakel even grew to hate Kadann, and eventually cut himself off from both the Prophets and the Empire.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook - stolen directly from Zen's thread wrote:Kadann knew the dark warrior still lived, for he could feel his hatred as a beacon in the Force. But he trained Azrakel too well. The dark warrior was highly skilled and possessed powerful survival instincts. 

Jedi Academy Training Manual - provided by @\"Darth Nihilus" wrote:“Azrakel hides himself and his dark powers from the galaxy at large by staying away from the Core Worlds. He becomes a mercenary, which proves to be a lucrative career as well as a means to vent his hostility. He gives no quarter, cutting down his targets with a level of zeal that concerns even his most coldblooded employers.”

[size=16]“Azrakel operates mostly in the Outer Rim Territories, the Corporate Sector, and even Wild Space as a ruthless mercenary. He can be a dangerous enemy, working as a hired henchman for a powerful crime lord, or even as the primary antagonist bent on the destruction of the Jedi Order before it has time to rebuild after the fall of the Empire.”

Star Wars Insider 66 - provided by Nihilus wrote:“While Kadann was aboard, Makati’s voice erupted from the comm: "Your 'subordinate' Azrakel was kind enough to help me find you, my Emperor. He doesn't care for your sparkly dress either."

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“He would appear again, Kadann knew, but at a time and place of his own choosing. And with the objects of his hatred gone, Kadann assumed that Azrakel's anger would turn toward him. Kadann was disappointed, but he wasn't afraid. He would be ready when the confrontation came.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“When Kadann looked deep into the dark side prior to the Battle of Endor, he saw a myriad of possibilities. One of the strongest was the return of balance to the Force and the end of the Empire. The Emperor dismissed his warnings, for he had not seen anything of the sort during his own meditations.”  

Polyhedron 103 wrote wrote:“Kadann is an enigma. He is currently the most powerful Force User around, outstripping even Luke Skywalker. Indeed, Kadann's abilities come close to equaling the Emperor at the height of his power.”

Evil Never Dies: The Sith Dynasties wrote wrote:“Meanwhile, the real Prophets continued to plot from the planet Bosthirda, until they were found by their most dangerous and embittered pupil, Azrakel, on a tip from a mysterious source. Armed with his double-bladed lightsaber and Darth Vader's prophesied gauntlet, Azrakel managed to destroy a number of the flabbergasted Prophets, including Supreme Prophet Kadann, before being permanently put down.”

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote wrote:“He [Azrakel] hated the Emperor, and Kadann taught him to also hate Darth Vader, the Emperor's most trusted servant (and perhaps Kadann's most powerful enemy, if the darksider ever decided to make his play for power).”

Hope you enjoyed, and have a good day

Also here’s the Prophets thread over here which I believe has some info missing here for Azra.

Prophets of the Darkside

Prophets of the Darkside

I think its ambigous to how close to the Emperor Kadann is, so one shouldn't consider him quite at his level even if taken at face value. 

I considered adding that information actually, but I figured having linked that post (and since its not entirely coherent with the over-arching line of thought behind the thread) it would be simple enough to find. Although since only two things are lacking I might actually add it anyways. 

Glad you liked the thread, and yeah I agree that we have way too little info on them.

Your thread helped me alot as well
