Physical Description
While she typically disguises herself, Callista does have an original appearance. Average height, with an athletic build from copious physical training. She has naturally red hair and grey eyes. Their skin is a bit pale- not from lack of exercise, but by virtue of constantly being under the artificial lights of a building or ship constantly.

Power/Abilities
Callista has a very strong connection with the force, and because of that connection and her intimate knowledge of the darkside, she can call upon the basic and dark abilities of the force without trouble. She has the inborn ability to make use of Mysticism(Sith Sorcery and Alchemy), and has nurtured that ability with training and knowledge. Due to her Masters fear for this use of the darkside, he never factored lightsaber training into the daily regime. Because of Callista's philosophy regarding the force, she never saw any need to try and rectify that, and so she cannot use a lightsaber any better than the local town drunk. Because of the amount of knowledge she has taken in, she is well educated.

Combat Abilities
Morifal makes no use of the lightsaber in combat, being completely reliant on her abilities in the force and(Rarely) her hand to hand combat skill. Due to the particularities of her training and natural talent she is very proficient at using the force with precision and without moving her body. By focusing the amount of energy needed to push someone into a single point, the effect on the target becomes much greater. While she is not trained at all in a lightsaber style(and thus does not use one), she knows many styles of hand to hand combat, and she switches them constantly throughout fights to keep her enemy on edge.

Personality
Callista is a careful planner who seemingly deliberates on their moves in advance, and they treat all things with an equal amount of suspicion. But despite that, they hold a great deal of personal initiative. While they may take a long time to deliberate and make careful preparations, when they decide to take action they are swift and decisive. They do not believe in the principals of being defensive and reactionary, and always strive to hold the initiative in all situations. The Sith typically strive for personal freedom through power and are naturally ambitious as a result(often to a fault), and Callista is no different. However, her ambitions desire isn't necessarily power, but materialization of an idea. She lets her emotions run free, but steels them and directs them in an almost inhuman manner. Her childhood was a life of grueling training, and their adult life has been much worse, so they are typically detached from the plights of others. Still, they have the capacity to understand someone's situation and act accordingly. They are disgusted by weakness like most Sith, but their reaction to it is a bit different.

Religion
While there was once a time when she earnestly believed in the Sith Code, that time has passed. Originally she believed that the Sith merely needed to be reformed along the lines of what her master had designed, thus bringing the strongest and most cunning Sith to a position of absolute power. But after being exposed to the universe beyond simply "Sith", she doesn't believe the Sith code is the proper answer to self-liberation and the actualization of the "Truth". By looking at the Force from merely just one perspective, you limit yourself automatically. It does not help that in seeking liberation, the Sith chain themselves in their own negative emotions. Likewise, the Jedi code merely represses emotion, which is equally as limiting. Thus, to her, there is only one option- understand all perspectives of the Force, and reach the core of it. As someone experienced in theology and philosophy, she is constantly looking for answers, and her true objective is to create a new "Third Way" of interrupting both the Force and the reality it pervades. The level of thought, infrastructure, and theological understanding would be beyond the flawed and fractured ideologies of Grey Force users. Using that as a looking glass, she wishes to achieve the Force without any distinctions and thus reach the "Truth". As a person, it could be said that she has a deep belief in the Force that few others can comprehend. It should be apparent, but in reality, she can't be called a Sith anymore.

History
The remaining Sith who have festered on Korriban for centuries have built around themselves a powerful new Sith Order. With a new Sith Emperor, it is very much possible for the Sith Empire to be revived into the galaxy once more. Using fear and raw strength, it is possible to beat the Republic back and massacre many Jedi. But not all agree with a plan of brute force or domination, nor the structure of the new Sith Order. Morifal's late Master was among those against the way the Sith currently existed. Though they were a member of the Triad- the three Dark Lords of the Sith who governed the Order, they had reservations about their situation. How many Sith Empires had to rise and fall, how many galactic wars had to be waged before the dark managed to truly exterminate the light? Doing the same thing again and again forever is nothing more than insanity, and the Sith have no time for insanity- only power. Thus, to Morifal's Master, attempting to take the galaxy by force yet again was nothing more than incompetence. Trying to compete with the Jedi's numbers was even less excusable. The Sith were about quality, strength, not simply having a quantity of force users. Only the strongest could survive and thrive. Thus, he wished to institute a system in which only a few Sith existed at any given time- only the strongest and most cunning should be allowed to live and continue the Sith dogma. Using subterfuge, the Republic could be corrupted rather than destroyed, and the Jedi sidelined rather than cut down. Naturally, these radical views were not taken well, and the typical bloody politics of the Sith did not help. He rapidly found himself with no supporters after his plan was revealed by a rival, and the Sith Emperor saw no need to save someone who could not save himself. They were quickly killed by the other two members of the Triad, and the chapter to this heresy found its end. Or, so the Sith Order believed. In reality, he barely survived and escaped with what little assets and materials he could muster. He sought to create a new Sith Order with only one master and one apprentice, and went about gaining influence and contacts across the galaxy. He screened for children with great attunement to the force, and selected the best among them to raise as his apprentice. Morifal was his fourth apprentice- the others had found untimely ends, either by their own incompetence or his own hand, usually a combination of the two. Only he knew her planet of origin, and with his eventual death that knowledge was lost.

Early into her training she showed signs of talent with Sith Mysticism. This was a valuable and powerful ability, but having it in the Korriban Sith Order likely would've resulted in her being killed. Naturally, the Master himself was quite paranoid of such an ability, and feared that she would use it against him one day. To that end, he never sought to train her in the use of lightsabers as a sort of handicap. By the time she approached the end of her training, he attempted to kill her. The fact she's alive now is telling of the result, and she gained the title of Darth from him. With her master dead, she sought knowledge, power, and an apprentice of her own. To that end, she used her masters contacts and ill begotten resources to form the early progenitor of the Preservationists. With others finding knowledge of all types(But most importantly, things such as Sith Holocrons and information about the darkside), she truly "got it" and brought out her full capabilities. Despite that, she was exposed to more ideologies and beliefs than just the Sith Code in the process, bringing her faith in it into question. Immersing herself in the study of philosophy and other lines of thinking regarding the Force made her reconsider her stance regarding both the Force and the "Liberation" all Sith desired so much. The result is her ambition and views on the Unified Force that has put her at odds with two certain monastic orders.

With the Korriban Sith making a move, she has disguised herself as a (in)famous Outer Rim Mercenary. Adopting this persona she crafted beforehand, she has made a contract with The Republic to provide private security forces to the Jedi investigating the distress beacon, acting as axillaries. To that end, she has gathered a Warband of experienced veterans, mercenaries, bounty hunters, and even those with a reward for their head. The Republic needs Soldiers, not idealistic farmboys, and Soldiers they will have. The Korriban Sith Emperor is a threat to her own designs, the Galaxy, and the Force itself. In comparison the Jedi Council typically idles around and is almost always purely reactionary, making who the greater threat is strikingly apparent. Morifal is more than willing to nudge The Republic and Jedi into a position capable of bringing the Emperor down.
