#enzo vera/hyllus

[dirthara-dalen]

Not surprised Enzo got the most votes, we love our blueberries here. This got extremely long when I wrote it out so it's mostly gonna be under the cut. Also it is gonna be split into a few parts. Anything marked with a * will have a note at the end of the post. This also goes more in depth than the last post i made about him/is more up to date. So here is pt 1

To start, Enzo is what you would consider a shadow child. His mother is a member of house Inrokini and was considered a prodigy with tech. Through his mother, Enzo is descended from several important individuals who were a part of the new Sith empire. Through his grandfather, Inrokini’an’kivu also known as Carlisle Hyllus, he is descended from Vilkas and Vector through their son Talon. Through his grandmother, Mitth’elea’nuruodo also known as Helena Xeno/Vera, he is descended from Solaris and Ryn Xeno/Vera.

The Aristocra of house Inrokini feared that his mother, Inrokini’na’kivu known as Nina, would not have any children to carry on her unique bloodline. The Hyllus line carried within it a mutation, more specially a killik mutation, that began with Vilkas Hyllus after he became a partial joiner of Nest Oroboro. To prevent the bloodline from possibly dying out the Aristocra arranged for a union to take place between Nina and a rising star of house Mitth, a chiss by the name of Mitth’raw’nuruodo or Thrawn.

Nina was extremely hesitant but followed through after the Aristocra threatened her family's standing within house Inrokini. In 41 bby Inrokini’nzo’mitth, later known simply as Enzo, was born. Nina picked up almost instantly that he was force sensitive. She did everything in her power to hide this not just from Thrawn but house Inrokini as well. During a visit to one of the many trade cities on one of the ascendancy's colonized planets she stumbled into the two people she believed could protect little Enzo who was now three.

Their names? Jedi Master Sifo-dyas and his eight year old son, Lee Shan Starwing. She begged them to take Enzo to the Jedi and even gave them a special amulet containing crests that belonged to Vilkas/Vector, Ryn/Solaris and Ligastar. Lee immediately recognized the crests, explaining to his father that they had to take Enzo to the order. Sifo-Dyas agreed and Enzo was brought to the temple on Coruscant.

Enzo found growing up in the temple to be rather difficult. Each member of his family that carries the killik mutation has it manifest differently each time. For poor Enzo the first ability that manifested for him was the ability to detect pheromones. This mixed with his burgeoning telepathic abilities did not go over well. Enzo struggled greatly  and was constantly suffering from sensory over stimulation. Not long after he turned nine the order was ready to give up on him if not for master Yaddle.

Enzo my beautiful blue boy. Same context as my post about my boy Lee. Prob gonna be in multiple parts as well and will link to each post as well. Info below the cut. Like Lee there is canon divergences in his backstory as well.

Enzo was born on Copero 9 years before the Phantom Menace. His mother, Inrokini'na'kivu (Nina), was a descendant of Vilkas & Vector Hyllus through her mother and Ryn & Solaris Xeno/Vera through her mother. Thanks to Vilkas she inherited his joiner mutation as did her son (This will be explained in Vilkas posts that are coming up). She willingly gave her son up to the order upon meeting Sifo-Dyas and young Lee when she met them one day. Enzo was about three at the time. She knew Enzo's father, a one Mitth'raw'nurodo, would highly disapprove of Enzo's force sensitivity. Ezno does not know who his father is for a long time.

Enzo struggled greatly as a youngling in the temple. He is very skilled in the usage of telekinetic and mind reading abilities but the mutation he inherited actually interfered with this. For him the song he was hearing from nest Oroboro was 'too loud'. In truth he was amplifying it unintentionally. He was made Lee's padawan as several masters believed Lee and his unorthodox methods could help the young boy.

They were right. Lee brought Ezno back home to Alderaan and straight to nest Oroboro. The nest actually lived on Starwing lands and had been ever since once of the dawn heralds made a deal with one of his ancestors. In exchange for access to land and protection the nest would not turn a single Starwing family member into a joiner. For at least two thousand years the two coexisted in harmony, that is until recently.

Alixs Starwing, Lee's uncle who is the youngest of his mothers siblings, recently became the nests dawn herald. This occurred after the last dawn herald suddenly died and said herald had been Alixs's partner. In his grief Alixs volunteered to replace his love. Due to Alixs now being the dawn herald Lee knew he could entrust Ezno to him to help the young chiss with understanding his mutation.

By the time events on Naboo had concluded, Enzo finally had the ability to control his mutations and was finally able to truly focus on being Lee's padawan. The two stayed on Alderaan for his training until Lee felt he was ready to train elsewhere. When Ezno turned ten his chiss biology kicked in hard. Lee was shocked with how fast Enzo was growing in such a short period of time. Ezno went from about 4" to almost 6" in less than a year. This is when both learnt that as a chiss Enzo matured way faster than other species. It became quite evident to Lee by the time Enzo reached 14 that he was more mature than most of the masters he knew at the temple and that was saying something considering their age.

During his time as Lee's padawan, Ezno became a very skilled duelist and discovered he was a tech savant. Lee also noticed over time how Enzo did not enjoy close quarters combat. As a surprise he gifted Enzo Vilkas's blaster rifle which had been entrusted to their family by the chiss. As he suspected Enzo was a natural marksmen. He then began to teach the young chiss everything he could about working in intelligence which would later lead Enzo to semi officially join the SIS during the war.

From optimistic padawan/knight to cynical intelligence age/leader. Enzo has seen some shit and order 66 left its mark on him, mentally and physically. Needless to say by the time of a new hope is nearly a carbon copy of Vilkas and not intentionally so.

Pt 3 of my post about my blue boy Enzo. pt one can be found here and pt 2 here. Anything marked with a * will have a note at the end of the post.

Enzo knew war was inevitable after Lee warned him that certain things were beginning to fall into place. He did not enjoy the idea of training his new padawan to be a solider. In 20 bby he lamented that it seems whenever a force sensitive member of his family is born, its during a time of crisis. He did his best to train Ty'kel but found it difficult to balance his duties with the SIS and the jedi order. Thus he made up his mind that once the war was over he was leaving the order.

Enzo survives Order 66 but what he witnessed left its mark on him. With Lee's help, he works to creates a variant of imperial Intelligence for the Order of the Grey, an order of force users who wield both sides of the force founded by Lee on Tython.

A few years after order 66 Enzo met a transmasc Zeltron named Zayne. That same year they had a son together named Akir. Before Zayne had transitioned fully he had worked with the organization I had created to preserve some of his eggs as he wished to have children one day. Enzo adores and cherishes his family. He looks forward to the day that he can teach Akir about their heritage. He asked Lee to be his son's father to which Lee agreed.

However, Enzo foudn that no everyone is permitted to have a happy ending. Zayne had begun working alongside Enzo as a watcher once Akir was old enough to be left alone. While working on a mission in the field together, they were ambushed by a group of Inquisitors. Zayne is killed during the fight, resulting in Enzo drawing on the darkside in a way he had never done before in a sheer fit of rage. This incident left Enzo a single father.

Akir took after his father quite a bit which Enzo actually didn't like. He would have much preferred Akir to take more after Zayne. When Enzo moves his intelligence network from being apart of the Order of the Grey to the reemerging Eternal Alliance*, Akir follows.

Enzo becomes extremely protective of his son due to how young he is...which backfires spectacularly. Akir ends up following his father into the field and falls prey to an imperial neurotoxin based weapon. Desperate to save Akir, Enzo brings him to the nest believing they can save him and they can. Akir becomes the new Dawn Herald of the ever expanding nest.

Enzo feels terrible not getting consent from his son which Akir understands why he did it. As a child he much preferred being around Killiks as they had helped Enzo raise him.

I'm still working out what happens with Enzo during the original movies and what not but after return of the Jedi Akir meets someone. A human girl he had known as a child who he eventually has a child with who they name Zayne Vilkas Vera. This of course makes Enzo incredibly proud to be a grandfather.

*So in my canon my main boy, Lee Starwing alongside some of his closest friends inherited the responsibility of keeping the Eternal Alliance alive. By this stage the Alliances goal is to prevent the past from repeating itself aka preventing another Tenebrae.

Part 2 about my post regarding enzo. pt1 can be found here!

Yaddle knew who would make a perfect master for the young chiss and with the council's consent excluded him from the normal initiate trials. In 32 bby he was approached by a newly anointed knight who was to be his master. The knight was none other than Lee Starwing. Due to Lee’s continuing involvement in the Naboo Crisis he knew he wouldn't have much time to start training Enzo. So to help the young chiss better under, at the very least, his mutations he brought Ezno to Alderaan. 

Nest Oroboro now resided within the bounds of the Starwing estate as a thousand years ago Lee’s family offered extra land that they had to the Killiks. There was an agreement between the two groups that the Killiks will not turn any Starwing into a joiner in exchange they may remain on the land and the Starwings will help sell anything the Killiks craft. Lee brought little Ezno to the current Dawn Herald of the nest, his uncle Alixs. Lee had to leave for Naboo shortly after leaving him with the nest.

The nest remembered Vilkas and Vector as such they were more than happy to help Enzo. During his time with the nest Enzo learnt how to use the abilities his Killik mutation granted him. When Lee finally returned, his actual Jedi training began. Alongside being trained in various saber forms, Lee taught how to use blasters, snipers and blaster rifles. Training became a little difficult shortly after he turned ten. 

Neither he nor Lee knew that upon turning ten Enzo would go through an insane growth spurt. Years later Lee still brings up the fact that Enzo went through so much clothes in such a short period of time and practically ate everything within sight on the estate. Lee trained Enzo to use both the light and dark side of the force. He believed Enzo deserved to know the fighting styles his ancestors used.

Eventually Enzo was knighted in 23 bby and took on his own padawan, a Cathar named Ty’kel. During the war Enzo primarily works with SIS and does have a code name but uses a different one when speaking with Lee. He used the call sign Blue with the SIS but Cipher 9 with Lee. Enzo hold’s Vilkas as his number one hero and strives to be more Iike him.

"I can think of no one better than to be one of the first to join the new high council."

"You want me to sit on the council? I'd be honored."

You know, I am not the only one of our family to sit on the high council. Ligastar was the other. Then again Ky'realea and Solaris both sat on the Dark Council at the time as well. He earned the spot after everything he did. That is one of the many reasons why he will always be my hero and my guide.

Lee Shan Starwing circa 22 bby to his former padawan, Enzo Vera/Xeno/Hyllus

*Regardless of what happens in swtor, in my legacy canon Ligastar eventually ends up as Grandmaster. This heavily affects his descendants, Lee, outlook on the current order and his own place in it.
