Tavion Axmis

Tavion (&mdash;14 ABY) was an overconfident, obedient Dark Jedi covered in Sith tattoos and wearing black leather outfits. She was a deadly warrior with a swift style.

Desann's apprentice
Tavion was originally an apprentice of Desann, together with whom she conceived a devious scheme to trick Kyle Katarn into revealing the location of the Valley of the Jedi. Tavion pretended to kill Katarn's partner Jan Ors, to enrage the former Jedi. The plan worked, and Desann and Tavion secretly followed Kyle to the Valley of the Jedi, where Kyle went to reclaim his Force powers for revenge. There, the pair created the Reborn army by instilling the force in their followers.

Kyle encountered Tavion a second time on Bespin, where he used his hate and rage to defeat her. Choking with Kyle's Force Grip over a chasm, she begged for her life and admitted Jan Ors was alive. Calming down, Kyle spared her and she ran.

Cult leader
After Desann's defeat, Tavion took on an eager and sadistic apprentice: the red skinned Twi'lek female, Alora. She found the Scepter of Ragnos, an ancient Sith artifact, and instilled her new followers with the Force, turning them into her Cultists, the Disciples of Ragnos. Enforced by the remaining Reborn, she sought to use the Scepter to resurrect Marka Ragnos, who she deemed her new master after Desann's death.

Alora perished, and in an epic battle between Jedi and Disciples of Ragnos on Korriban, Jedi Knight Jaden Korr struck her down. Her followers were decimated shortly afterwards along with any Imperial supporters.

Tavion's Homeworld?
Although there is no clear evidence, it is possible that Tavion might be one of Tamith Kais Nightsisters that have been exiled from Dathomir and later helped to create the Shadow Academy under Brakiss's supervision. Both Tavion's style of clothing and her facial tattoo could be marks of a possible Dathomiri ancestry.
