- "Why do you feel compelled to constantly test the boundaries of the balance? To satisfy your own pride?!"
- ―Miarta Sek
Sek'nos Rath, called Seki by adoring females, was a male Sith Je'daii Journeyer who served the Je'daii Order on Tython at the height of the Infinite Empire's reign. He was a bold Je'daii who was fond of weapons and longed to achieve the greatness of the Je'daii of myth and stories. He was also known to be gregarious and a ladies man.

Biography
Edit
A Force-sensitive Sith, Sek'nos Rath was the child of Je'daii diplomats stationed in the Tython system. Rath was raised by his maternal grandmother, Miarta Sek and his paternal grandfather, Thok Rath on the planet Tython, one of nine planets which made up the Settled Worlds. He learned healing techniques from his grandmother and looked up to his grandfather for his many past adventures. He eventually attained the rank of Je'daii Journeyer and began traveling between the nine Great Temples of Tython. In his quest for forging the perfect weapon, Rath spent a large amount of time at Vur Tepe learning from Tem Madog, the Temple Master of the Forge. Under the tutelage of Master Madog Rath forged three Force-imbued blades in his quest for perfection.[1]
Twelve years after the Despot War, a conflict between the Order and Queen Hadiya of Shikaakwa, Rath spent his time at Qigong Kesh in the Silent Desert attempting to master the power of Force lightning. While showing off for three flirtatious Je'daii girls, Rath tried to accomplish the never-before-seen ability of making a ball of lightning, when he received a powerful vision. Simultaneously, a mysterious man named Xesh, a Force Hound of the Infinite Empire crashed the Rakatan ship called the Devourer near the Rift on Tython. The surge of deaths associated with the crash alerted all Je'daii to the foreign presence on the world, as well as stirring a Force storm that would rage across the entire planet.[2]
Distracted by the vision of Xesh, the lightning Rath had created arced back at him, which caught the attention of his grandparents. Shooing the girls away, the older Je'daii chided young Rath for using abilities which only used dark emotions for fear he would fall out of balance. Departing the temple to seek out the man from his vision, Rath took his mount to the crash site where he met fellow Journeyers Shae Koda and Tasha Ryo, both of whom had experience similar visions. Searching the wreckage of the alien ship, the trio discovered an escape pod carrying the stranger known as Xesh.[2] Drawing their blades, the Je'daii were shocked as Xesh's Forcesaber easily cut through their durasteel blades. Despite the loss of their weapons, the three Je'daii's mastery of the Force outmaneuvered Xesh and Koda was able to take the Forcesaber from his grasp. Unarmed and winded, the Je'daii forced Xesh deeper into the Rift towards the dangerous Abyss of Ruh.[3] While tracking the Force Hound, the three Je'daii experienced hallucinations brought on by the dark energies inside the Abyss. After Rath was able to calm his two partners, the trio was able to locate Xesh as he battled a saarl. Rath sent a boulder into the creatures head, which only antagonized the beast; the group was forced to flee deeper into the cave. Making a final stand, Rath and his allies attempted to hold off the beast but were unable to turn on the Forcesaber she had confiscated from Xesh. At Rath's insistence, Koda relinquished possession of the saber to Xesh in hopes that he would activate it and kill the saarl; however Xesh took the weapon and abandoned the Je'daii to their fate.[4]
