Navarro de Molay, also known as Demo, is a High Colonel of the feared Imperial Army where he serves at the Army Command as the Army Signals Officer as well as the Third Imperial Legion's Commanding Officer.

"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous."
—Navarro's vow.

40px-Imperial_Emblemsvg20copy.png Appearance

Standing at 178 cm and weighing 78 kg, Navarro de Molay is of generally average height and weight for his world of birth and species. He is very fit from his military training, and makes an effort to stay healthy. He has brown hair, which he keeps cut to a moderate length. His eyes are a dark brown, similar to both his mother and father. Navarro has no distinguishing marks or scars, however he is known to wear his Neo-Crusaders cross at all times; a memento he was given by his father shortly before leaving on his final raid.

Since the day his father perished, Navarro has taken to wearing a white mask with black facial features, and facial hair. The mask was his father's, and is an abstract representation of Jacques' face. It was customary for Neo-Crusaders to wear such masks when performing actions upon their targets to partially conceal their identity, and to strike terror into the hearts of their enemies.

40px-Imperial_Emblemsvg20copy.png Biography

Born on Coruscant to parents Jacques de Molay and Marie Claire de Molay, Navarro de Molay was a middle class citizen. He attended school at the local elementary, and was raised by both his parents until the age of 16, when his father was killed by a Rebel insurgency team. Navarro had few other relatives, and was very close to his father. He had learned many things from Jacques, especially about his father's way of life as Mandalorian Neo-Crusader.

Jacques de Molay was a member of a recently resurging group of Neo-Crusaders who fought for an ancient order of Mandalorians. This group of religious warriors fought to overthrow the Republic, in favor of a more direct government. After the birth of the Empire, Jacques was the leader of one of the group's warrior battalions, and routinely took soldiers on raids against diplomatic embassies who publicly supported the Rebel movement who, in turn, supported a return of the Republic. During one of these raids, Jacques' team was ambushed by Rebel forces, and the entire group slain. This event, recorded in full holo, by Rebel barbarians was then distributed to the rest of the Neo-Crusader movement, and deeply scarred Navarro. He vowed revenge, and began training to take his father's place.

Before he could do so, however, the group's base was discovered and destroyed by Rebel terrorists, forcing the survivors to give up their quest, and disband. Navarro, fueled with rage directed at the Rebel scum, decided to join the Empire. He decided his talents would be best put to use in the Imperial Army; his father had taught him many skills befitting an infantrymen and soldier. Navarro used these skills during training and quickly showed great potential as an Imperial soldier.

40px-Imperial_Emblemsvg20copy.png Imperial Career

After graduating from the Imperial Academy as a Private on Y12, Navarro was assigned to the 6th Brigade, one of the two Brigades attached to the 3rd Legion, and his devotion to his unit was soon recognized and rewarded when he was appointed the Executive Officer of his Brigade. Not long after, the 3rd Legion was deployed to Derra IV for Operation Sovereign Canopy. Engagements against the forces of the Galactic Alliance were fierce and highly contested, the enemy having had substantial preparatory time to develop a deliberate defensive position within the primary urban locations on the planet. The 9th Alpha Infantry Company, under 1st Lieutenant de Molay's command, suffered notably fewer losses than expected for an infantry company in a fierce warzone, and even those setbacks were tempered by the achievements they made against enemy forces, including engaging and neutralizing several known senior Alliance combatants. Navarro proved his dedication and valor in the face of great adversity and was appropriately honored for it. He received a field promotion to Captain, and the 3rd Legion was awarded the Unit Distinguished Service for consistently distinguishing themselves in their actions on Derra IV, accomplishing great strides in combat against an entrenched enemy with superior numbers and the Battle Efficiency Medal for demonstrating highly effective and efficient skills in the advance to contact, engagement, and withdrawals involving enemy combatants during several combat engagements on Derra IV. He was later awarded the Imperial Campaign Medal with a Bronze Star Device for his efforts during Operation Sovereign Canopy. After Major Tyrren Montari transferred over to Imperial Intelligence, Captain de Molay succeeded him as the commander of the 6th Brigade.

A few days into Year 15, at the order of their sector moff, the 6th Brigade was sent to investigate the rumor of an undiscovered system in Harglic Space. Though this type of mission would typically be assigned to a Navy group in the sector, the brigade was in a position to respond much more quickly and arrived in location over a week earlier than their Navy counterpart. The weak scanners of the brigade's shuttles, in comparison to the Navy's TIEs, slowed the pace of their reconnaissance of the system. Navarro was able to coordinate with Brigadier General Canfield, the legion commanding officer, to supply the brigade with additional shuttles from Corellia, which sped their pace. The brigade successfully discovered Whelori, a previously unknown system in the middle of Herglic Space, and assisted Regional Government in securing the territory. Upon the conclusion of the mission, which lasted a total of two weeks, the 6th Brigade received compliments from the Inner Circle and even the Throne. As a successful result of Operation Silent Night the 6th Brigade was awarded its second Unit Distinguished Service.

As a result of being officially welcomed into the ranks of COMPNOR, Navarro received his COMPNOR Member Medal award on Year 15 Day 233 upon his appointment as the new Director of the Imperial Centre of Recruitment by the Grand Vizier Inwe Ventidius. Navarro never expected to return to the Imperial Academy some day. Navarro was later replaced as Director of ICR from a fellow soldier, Leole Mahou on Y16.

On Year 15 Day 260, Navarro was appointed the Army Signals Officer, succeeding High Colonel Amne Zailyn due to her forced retirement of the Imperial ranks. He was appointed by Lord General Graeda L`Annen. With his appointment, Navarro received his first Office at the Main Army Headquarters at Carida, home of the Imperial Army. He is often seen on his office working on new projects and developments to Improve his Majesty's Imperial Army.

After the retirement of Brigadier General Edward Canfield and following his recommendation, Army Command decided to offer Navarro the position of 3rd Legion, and feeling honored, he accepted. After his appointment, the newly-appointed commander was quoted as expressing this rousing statement:

It is with solemn duty that I accept and vow to do the best of my abilities, to ensure the 3rd Legion and both of its embracing Sectors are kept at the best of the Imperial Army standards.

Since he took Command of the 3rd Legion early into Year 16, Navarro has worked towards improving the internal organization and overall effectiveness of the decorated Legion and its Brigades.
