Considered by most an outsider, Commander Bane travels upon a razor’s edge within the Brotherhood of Darkness. His refusal to train more than one student nearly ended his existence, and that of his apprentice. Bane had been secretly training Virus ever since he found her, without Kaan or the High Council’s knowledge or approval. Bane was removed from the rank and file of the Guard Sect for his actions, and was stripped of his rank.

In the years leading up to Kaan’s grand assault upon the Republic, Bane and his apprentice were branded as bad blood, and have been ostracized by their fellow Brethren. Although they were allowed to stay on Korriban, they were not allowed to depart or intermingle with other Brethren, and had to live on the outskirts of the Academy. Bane continued to train Virus during this period, and with time she grew from mere adolescence into a strong, independent woman. On occasions, unbeknown to her Master, Virus would ascend the courtroom walls in the cover of darkness, and perform her own recon of sorts. On one particular outing she was caught by one of the High Council members, Lord Zhan. Quite suprisingly, the wise old Lord did not call out for the guards, but for her silence instead. They would continue to meet from time to time, and Zhan would ultimately enlighten Virus and admit to her what he believed Bane truly is, and his foretold destiny.

Just months before the instigation of the war, Kaan called for an undisclosed meeting of the High Council at the Training Academy on Korriban. Many of the Council members were surprised and highly enraged by Kaan’s actions during the meeting – Kaan bestowed upon Bane the rank of Commander, and put him in charge of his newly formed Special Operations Sect. Two of the High Council completely refuted Kaan’s actions and became so angered they attacked Bane within the Great Hall. After stowing his weapon, Bane asked all in attendance, “Shall there be another?” and after a long pause and not a word spoken, Bane calmly resumed his post at Kaan’s side. Kaan, in his usual manner, then stated “Very well then.” and resumed with the task of war preparations.
