Jura Ostrogoth

"There's a saying on my home planet, Ostrogoth. Only a fool turns his back on an unpaid debt. You think about that.[...]Or else the rest of the academy sill soon see a side of you that I don't think you want them to see&mdash;a very unflattering side."

Jura Ostrogoth was a Human male who served the Sith Order as an Acolyte during the period of strife that followed the Great Galactic War. Ostrogoth hailed from the Inner Rim Planet of Chazwa, but spent much of his teenage life on the chilly Sith Academy planet Odacer-Faustin, training to become a warrior and leader of the Sith Empire. Sith training was brutal and unforgiving, especially within the Odacer-Faustin Sith Academy, overseen by the reclusive Sith Lord, Darth Scabrous. During the early days of his training, Ostrogoth was assaulted and humiliated by the Sith Apprentice Mannock T'Sank, but was saved by Zabrak Acolyte Scopique. Scopique's act of compassion was, in truth, merely a ploy to gain leverage over Ostrogoth, which he later used to manipulate the Human into infiltrating Darth Scabrous's tower.

Rumors fostered by the students on Odacer-Faustin held that Darth Scabrous had been abducting Sith teenagers and either subjecting them to heinous experiments or grooming them to be his eventual successor. Scopique wished to know the truth, and so forced Ostrogoth to enter the tower from which Lord Scabrous oversaw the academy and report back. Ostrogoth found that Scabrous had indeed been performing experiments within his keep&mdash;the Sith Lord was attempting to create an elixir that would extend his life indefinitely. Unfortunately for the young Sith, Scabrous's attempts were unsuccessful, and he instead created nothing more than a virus that destroyed living flesh and turned the dead into cannibalistic monstrosities. Ostrogoth was killed when Scabrous was forced to throw the first of his creations&mdash;the recently deceased Wim Nickter&mdash; out of the window of his tower; Ostrogoth was in the trajectory of the reanimated Nickter's body, and flew out the window beside it. The young man died after falling over one hundred meters to the ground below. Nickter's body, which was still functioning under the influence of the virus in spite of the massive fall, immediately began to feast on what remained of Jura Ostrogoth.

Despite its death and subsequent mutilation, Ostrogoth's body was reanimated as a flesh-eating monster under the will of Scabrous's disease. The Ostrogoth creature immediately traveled to the academy dormitory, where it ambushed and killed Scopique. The Zabrak was able to decapitate Ostrogoth before he was similarly transformed into an undead beast.
