1st Hand of the Trepas Knights

1st Hand of the Trepas Knights or simply 1st Hand, was a rank within the Trepas Knights task force. This individual dealt with day to day tasks of the Trepas Knights and served as the second-in-command under their leader Vlad Von Drake II. The first person ever known to serve in this role was a male Human named Uri Nyzo.

Overview
During the early years and formation of the Trepas Knights, Lord Von Drake had no problem handling the Trepas Knights on his own, as he had a lot of free time to work with and the number of Knights was so low. Eventually after his Sith Master died of a fatal disease, Vlad joined the Sith Empire and quickly rose through the ranks. During this time, Vlad was still able to keep his task force together with relative ease, as there wasn't much to be handled. However, once the Sith began to set in place his mission to take over the Empire, he knew he would need assistance. After a series of tests and elimination style tournaments, Vlad came across the victor Uri Nyzo. Due to the excellent skill and prowess Uri had shown during Vlad's trials, the young Human soon found himself at the head of the Trepas Knights, answering only to Vlad himself.

Eventually, an Elite Knight by the name of Ra Xilan envoked the rights of the Trepas Knights, and challenged the current 1st Hand, Uri, to a fight for his title. After a hard fought battle, Xilan was eventually able to overcome his superior and become the new 1st Hand. At first the transition was unwelcome, and no one made this more apparent then Vlad himself. Believing the former Elite was in it for nothing more then his own personal gain, Von Drake confronted Ra almost immediately after he had gained his title, his mind set on killing the man. However, using his infamous silver tongue, the newly promoted Knight was able to talk his way out of any harm.

Shortly after, Ra was able to settle into his position as second-in-command, but it wouldn't be long before he would face his first test as 1st Hand.
