'''Kurj Skolia''', also known as '''Kurj''', was an ambitious [[Jagernaut]] primary who later became Imperator of the [[Skolian empire]] in the [[Saga of the Skolian empire]] books by [[Catherine Asaro]]. |
|||
Kurj was the son of [[Roca Skolia]] and had a troubled past involving his mother and various father figures. He and his mother were abused for many years by Roca's second husband Darr - Kurj's stepfather, who saw the pubescent boy as a rival. As he grew older, Kurj's subconscious attraction to and jealousy for his mother resulted in disaster when he found that his biological father was also his mother's father Jarac, which was a result of [[in vitro fertilization]]. He killed Jarac by entering the Dyad, almost destroying the [[psiberweb]]. ([[Dyhianna_Selei|Pharoah Dyhianna]], Kurj's aunt, later refers to this by telling him "Jocasta is the icon", a reference to the ancient Earth play [[Oedipus Rex]].) |
|||
He became a hard and often ruthless man, who pursued his goals without regard to others. During his time as a [[Jagernaut]] he learned to hate the [[Eubians]] with passion and would do everything possible to rid the universe of them. As an Imperator of Skolia he was both respected and feared. He remained jealous of [[Roca Skolia|Roca]]'s much younger third husband [[Eldrinson Althor Valdoria|Eldrinson Valdoria]] and never accepted him. |
|||
Despite his secret longing for family Kurj lived a lonely life, never letting his occasional lovers close enough to form a stable relationship. However, when the Assembly wanted him to marry a chosen noblewoman for political reasons, he defied their order by marrying his lover Ami, a beautiful, sweet-natured and simple commoner. |
|||
Shortly after that Kurj died in a battle which also cost the life of Ur Qox, the ruler of Eubian Concord. His successor as an Imperator of Skolia became his younger half-sister [[Sauscony Lahaylia Valdoria Skolia|Soz Valdoria]]. Several months after Kurj's death Ami gave birth to his son Kurjson. |
