Kovu Vastor

"I've shut my eyes a long time ago, the things I seek, lie only in the dark side of the force!!!"- Kovu Vastor.

Kovu Vastor was a male Korun who, along with several other abductees, were secret apprentices of the Dark Lord of Sith named "Darth Draculus". Born around the New Empire Era, he hailed from the planet Haruun Kal as the descendant of the late Kar Vastor. Though only a child at that time, Kovu possessed an exceptionally strong connection to the Force even by his clan's standards, Kovu's connection to the Force was so strong that the Dark Lord of the Sith sought to exploit it. When he was 8, he witnessed Jedi massacred his entire clan, which  in truth was actually an implanted memory that Draculus used to cover up the truth, which in reality it was him that wiped out his clan. Over the next several years, the physical and psychological trauma of Draculus unforgiving training regimen and the loss of his clan resulted in Kovu's deep immersion within the dark side of the Force as his Master intended. With his childhood memories suppressed, Kovu only knew himself as the Dark Lord's apprentice; a Sith assassin who operated undercover and a living weapon to be deployed against the enemies of Darth Draculus.  

I used myself as a reference when creating this character. Took about 10 hrs to do using Wacom Intuos 4, Photoshop CS5 and references.
