At a young age Kaethel was a natural born marksmen. The arcing of the bullet, the\xa0bitter winds pushing on it as it travels\xa0to it's target,\xa0no shot was too difficult, and no mark untouched.

Unfortunately for all of his talent and skill it could not - would not - prepare him for what happened\xa0to his home\xa0in the year YC112.\xa0

Returning home after a successful training mission, Kaethel encountered a rogue group of\xa0Amarr slavers attacking his tribe. By the time he was able to kill their rear guard, get\xa0to the\xa0village, and\xa0join the defenders, the slavers had already killed his family, and several more members of his tribe. Eventually the slavers were driven off by Kaethel and the few remaining defenders but during the chaos the Amarrian slavers managed to enslave most of his tribe.

Kaethel was the only one left with the last name of Nightblood in that cold, dark, and ruined place. His family and friends dead, he swore an oath:

To Survive. To Protect. To Get Retribution.

He opted into the Capsuleer program, surviving the initial mind transfer into a clone body, with his original body in cold storage, and his ancestral Rifter carrying him into the night, he set out to find his tribe's captors. He came to find out that they were called "The Sansha Nation" and so with a name, he fell back onto his training; track, chase, and kill. Eventually finding and decimating The Sansha forces one by bloody one until he tracked down where his tribe was being held. Without hestitation Kaethel threw himself into the final on-slaught, an all out battle ensued, and when all of the Sansha's ships were a ruined smoldering husk, he rescued the remaining members of his tribe and brought them back to their home.

With no family, friends, or home to call his own, Kaethel had nothing left there. He looked up at the heavens and with immortality at his back, he finally knew where he belonged: amongst the stars.

"May the winds raise your spirits, may they send it into the ocean of night, and after the battle has been won; find sanctuary amongst the light." -Nightblood's Ancestral Oath
