Funny story. I had a character for a paper/pencil RPG a while ago (name of Sirus) who was trained to be an assassin by a man who had put alot of HIS power into manipulation. This was to make Sirus a bad guy, only it did not end up that way. A chance of fate ("Fuck, the Emperor's dead!") allowed it that the Master (Zaras) had to be away from a number of pupils long enough that his indoctrination wore off, thus leaving Sirus only vindictive, untrusting, and secretive. It happens. It also happens that he didn't really care what sort of sabers he got, because he was fairly adaptable. As it happens, they were red, though, and quite useful.
