During his service, he began to feel conflicted by his chosen
path; the many deaths weighed on his mind, and the Dark side was
not answering his questions.
He went rogue, travelling from sector to sector, killing freely
along the way, until he had returned to his home planet
Trulalis.
There, he encountered his old acting master, Mast Otias, who
refused him forgiveness for his many crimes, and his son-
Jaalib
Brandl.
There, something changed inside Brandl, and he signaled the
Imperial Starfleet his location.
As the smuggler he had hired to transport him navigated his
vessel out of the atmosphere, a Star Destroyer arrived and captured the
Kierra.
The smuggler was released with 10,000 credits (a tenth of the
bounty on Brandl), and fled the doomed Star Destroyer moments
before Brandl set off a number of thermal detonators, destroying
the vessel, and (so the Empire and New Republic believed)
himself. In reality, he had escaped (with a number of wounds and
scars), and had returned to Trulalis where he tutored his son in
acting.
There, he encountered Fable Astin, and trained her in lightsaber
combat.
Unbeknownst to Fable, Brandl had made arrangements with the
Reborn Emperor on the planet Byss to bring him Fable as a gift, to redeem Brandl in
the Emperor's eyes.
His son, going through the ship's logs, discovered the trip,
and warned Fable, calling her fellow Rebel Alliance crewmates to
her aid.
High Inquisitor Tremayne, whose apprentice Vialco Fable had killed
with the aid of Brandl's teachings, received Jaalib as his new
apprentice.
Adalric arranged this to punish Jaalib for rescuing
Fable. Adalric's whereabouts afterwards are unknown, although an
unpublished short story by Patricia A.
"Please, captain: your contempt is
small reward for a repentant pilgrim."
-Brandl :"You call murder a penance?"
-Capt.
Ross :"When it has become the least of one's crimes....
Yes!"
"Evil springs from weakness and weakness from
ambition; by this grand order every ambitious man is undone!
Tell me, Captain, you too are an ambitious man.
Which of us is truly innocent?...There is one rule of theater
that applies to real life, Captain Ross.
Only heroes die.
Villains and cowards are left to suffer."
-Brandl
"I...
I...
I live my life- in a whirlwind!"
-Brandl (to his former acting teacher)
"You give me credit
for courage?
A man of courage is a man of conviction...
I lost mine the moment I chose to believe in old
legends."
"Acting is a profound education in human natire and
that is why I became so obssessed; but as my intellect improved, my
morals failed and I became the very thing I must despised."
-Brandl. :"And what was that?"
-Ross :"Human.
I was not a king, not a hero, not a god.
Just a man trapped in the passion of the play." :"So what
happens now?" :"My life has been one continuous drama, a tragic
one, I'm afraid.
And I have stumbled through it, scene by scene, act by act,
like some terrified neophyte.
Tonight, Fortune calls for the final exit.
I can no longer live the lie."
"Jaalib.
Mind your manners.
An audience, even an audience of one, is always to be treasured
and respected."
"The Jedi- is his own worst enemy.
The greatest conflict comes from within.
Our Masters teach us, scold us... command us to follow reason,
not our emotions."
-Brandl :"You disagree?"
-Fable Astin :"Where there is smoke, there is fire."
"Only
fools admire what they see.
I know... for once I was a fool."
"So what's it like to be
a pawn for the Emperor!"
-Fable :"I brought pleasure to my master through the tears of
his subjects.
The Emperor's ideas are quite noble.
It's his methods which inevitably offend those of lesser
wisdom." :"Sounds like you're still loyal to him.
Why not, he only tried to kill you!" :"In time, you will learn
that an old friend is very much like a good mirror.
The longer you stare into it, the harder it is to find the
flaws."
