Early Life and Education
Born on Y-29 Day 346 in the Daupherm States Sector on the planet Cortina, Cihllian Rezik entered the galaxy as the eldest child of scientists Everin Rezik and Laida Koss, both employees of the esteemed Karsati Biolabs, a reputable institution contracted by the Galactic Republic's Department of Agriculture and Non-Sentient Creatures. Among the couple's progeny, Cihllian stood as the eldest, accompanied by his younger siblings — twin sisters Sylvia and Alaasi, and a beloved younger brother, Illias, whose bond with Cihllian transcended their decade-wide age gap, fostering a closeness that has endured to the present day.
The transformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire marked a pivotal juncture in the Rezik family's trajectory. Ever-adaptable, Cihllian's parents swiftly aligned themselves with the principles espoused by COMPNOR, particularly embracing its pro-human ethos. This ideological alignment not only shielded them from upheaval but also propelled Everin's career to new heights, earning him a prestigious promotion to Senior Project Manager within the newly designated Imperial Research Division.
Amidst these seismic shifts, young Cihllian found himself navigating adolescence within the burgeoning Empire's embrace. Enrolled in Cortina's chapter of the Sub-Adult Group, he distinguished himself in various athletic pursuits, laying the groundwork for his unwavering allegiance to the New Order. This formative period not only shaped his physical prowess but also instilled in him a steadfast dedication to the Empire's principles, setting the stage for his future endeavors as a loyal servant of the Galactic Empire.
University of Coruscant
Cihl secured an athletics scholarship to the University of Coruscant in Year -11, where he pursued a Major in Non-Sentient Zoology with the intention of transitioning to the Imperial Academy after one year — an obligation tied to his scholarship from the Cardael Group. Throughout his time at the university, Cihl maintained average grades academically, while his performance in track and field consistently stood out, albeit without garnering significant recognition. A professor's observation noted his latent potential for academic excellence, yet also highlighted occasional distractions stemming from external, "worldly" interests that often diverted his focus away from his studies.
Imperial Academy
Accepted into the Imperial Academy after one year in university, Cihl would become enamored of the traditions emphasized by the Galactic Empire and find purpose in the structure and military lifestyle introduced in his Basic Military Courses. In messages to his parents, he would recount his admiration of the humanocentric military organization and its policies which saw the Empire's might expand significantly since its transition from the Galactic Republic. He would later graduate with Honors, earning his commission as an Ensign in the Imperial Navy.

On Year 24 Day 186 (June 1st, 2023), Empress Inwe Ventidius I ennobled Cihl as a Baron of the Empire. Under Emperor Jai Meridan I, he was landed as the Baron of Isht.
The heraldry of the barony is a field per chevron rayonny, the tincture argent and or. In red at center is a dragon, with three sable swords centered in the or field. A sable star in the upper left quadrant, to which the dragon reaches.
Order of the Sith
Cihl currently maintains the rank of Sith Adept within the secretive Order of Force practitioners though he seldom displays any outward appearance to denote such, beyond the carrying of a lightsaber. He is also known to refrain from any public displays of Force affinity, often giving rise to rumors as to whether or not he is a Force User at all.
