Sudiroprojo Darma was a half-blood Sumatran dark wizard, a drug smuggler turned arms trafficker and one of the former ringleaders of the Blood Gush Cartel. Though originally, Sudiroprojo was a dangerous crime lord, when he and his gang were arrogant and foolish enough to resist the Death Eaters as their agents brought the wizarding criminal underworld of Sumatra under their control, Darma emerged as one of the few survivors of the massacre that followed. As a result, Sudiroprojo sought refuge with the Weequay weapons dealer Plas-Ger-Bu Glo's gang, who were allies of the Death Eaters and joined them in their businesses. As part of the gang, Sudiroprojo Darma traded with numerous chapters of the Dragon Lord's innumerable forces, including remnants of the Empire of Night scattered across the Outermost Territories in the Otherworld after the fragmentation of their influence and the Zyldav Zentral Revolutzionär Komitzät. Their dealings with the Empire after its return, however, drew the attention of Team Awesome, who's members raided Plas-Ger-Bu's cantina, arresting him and scaring off his subordinates, including Darma, who was later assassinated on the orders of High Lieutenant Darkness Magicar when he started performing crimes that went against her ideology, with her agents murdering Darma in an execution that was well deserved for his many acts of evil.
Biography[]
Early life and military activities[]
Sudiroprojo was born with a lineage that had both direct muggle and wizard heritage, though it is unconfirmed if his muggle relatives included one of his parents or if they were among the previous two generations. Whatever the case, Sudiroprojo Darma came into possession of an aspen wand that had for a core a rare Manticore heartstrings — a source of power than naturally gravitated towards a man or woman that reveled in pain and destruction and was thus not widely used — and received a magical education at an institution somewhere in Sumatra, but before he could reach his final year, he was expelled for his open practice of forbidden magic that aligned with the Dark Arts. The details of the actions are not clear, but Darma's actions led his expulsion and his facing charges as a juvenal deliquiate, yet despite this record, he was nonetheless able to achieve the rank of Letnan kolonel in the Marine Corps of the Republic of Indonesia.
While he served as a Lieutenant Colonel to the Indonesian Marine Corps, Sudiroprojo Darma proved his monstrous nature many times through the orders he gave during the Indonesian occupation of East Timor
As a Lieutenant colonel to the Marine Corps of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut in the Cold War, Sudiroprojo saw plenty of action and participated in several vital conflicts, securing numerous key victories during the invasion and subsequent occupation of East Timor, but at the cost of attracting antipathic opinions from a number of his colleagues for how dismissively he was known to treat the men assigned to serve under him. Despite being aware of this antipathy, Darma arrogantly felt that his position gave him the security that meant he would leave the navy only if he wanted to. He was wrong, however, and when it came to the attention of the International Confederation of Wizards that Darma not only supported many of the activities of routine and systematic torture, sexual slavery, extrajudicial executions, massacres, and deliberate starvation that the people of East Timor were subjected to during Indonesia's seizure of their country, but had also been one of the few wizards crucial in the execution of the Santa Cruz massacre, the then-Minister for Magic for Australia led a steadfast campaign to have Lieutenant Colonel Sudiroprojo Darma brought to face trial for his inhumane activities in front of the entire Confederation. Although Indonesia made several early efforts to protect him, the pressure that was put upon it not only by the wizard government of East Timor, but also by its various allies, including the Ministries of Magic for Australia, Thailand, Libya and Mozambique and Magical Congress of the United States of America caused the administration to relent. Sudiroprojo, however, got wind of the plan and succeeded into escaping, whereupon he became a wanted fugitive the Indonesian wizarding and Muggle governments both issued a warrant requesting him dead or alive.
Criminal Dealings[]
Gaining it all, then Losing it[]
Sudiroprojo Darma, however, survived and fled into West Sumatra, where he found sanctuary in the criminal underworld as an eventual lead member in the Blood Gushes, a drug-trafficking cartel that were a major influence amidst the local black market. As one of the group's ringleaders, Sudiroprojo amassed a fortune in blood money and was eventually known by S.H.I.E.L.D. for have personally conducted five separate murders, as well as several incidents which saw him participating in various acts of Muggle killings. The fortunes of the Blood Gush Cartel waved, however, when, throughout the Sumatran underworld, men and women began revealing themselves as sleeper agents of an organization known as the Death Eaters, who were making their presence known swiftly as the new rulers of criminal activity in that part of the world. Arrogantly believing they were merely facing another gang, the ringleaders of the Blood Gush resisted the Death Eaters and mocked the attitude of zealous worship to their mysterious 'Master', an act that sealed their doom. By the next morning, almost every member of the Cartel was dead after being killed savagely by Death Eaters that had been riled into a state of religious frenzy where several of Darma's allies were found literally torn to shreds.
Knowing this to be a message to all that though it possible for them to remain independent could either submit and kneel before a new enigmatic master, the Dragon Lord, or be left to their own devices and be subsequently rendered defenceless to the tender mercies of his Death Eaters, Sudiroprojo knew better than to attempt to mount further resistance and instead subsequently searched for any groups of significant power that had chosen not to make the mistakes of the Blood Gush Cartel and had instead entered into a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit with the followers of the Dark Lord, which he ultimately found with a group of multispecies arms dealers led by a Weequay named Plas-Ger-Bu Glo. The gang that Glo led had been allied swiftly with the Death Eaters during the beginning of their rise to power and as such was in the good graces of the conqueror's commanders, who the smugglers sold weapons bought off the black market to at a lower sum than what they charged others that bought from them, who the gang were in return permitted to continue to engage in private dealings with. Glo, however, while he accepted Darma as part of his followers, had a grudge against the Blood Gush Cartel and as a result, the former drug trafficker dealer found himself the man being given orders, rather than the one giving them. None the less, he and his cohorts made plenty of gold in their business as the Death Eaters waged two separate wars above and belowground, selling weapons to the stratocratic Empire of Night, then, following its withdrawal from its outer territories in the Otherworld, with several of the remnant chapters scattered throughout these liberated regions.
After being forced to find sanctuary with allies of the Death Eaters, Sudiroprojo Darma worked for several chapters of the organization, including the Zyldav Zentral Revolutzionär Komitzät and several remnants
Among the other clients that Sudiroprojo Darma saw the gang work with was the Death Eaters that formed the Syldavian-Bordurian chapter of their organization, who were known to allies and members alike as the 'Zyldav Zentral Revolutzionär Komitzät'. Under the direction of Igor Müsstler, who Darma saw personally engage in dealings with his leader, Plas-Ger-Bu Glo, as well as the Weequay's lieutenant officers, on numerous occasions, the Z.Z.R.K. bought many of the first-class weapons the trafficking gang offered — albeit at a price that was 40% less than those levied on independent customers, much to the consternation of Darma — a practice that was continued by at least two of the splinter factions formed in the aftermath of his organization's decentralization: one that was headed by Roberto Raclaw, which was eventually rounded up and had its members imprisoned, the other was forced to go into hiding after its leader, Colonel General Georgi Luchkov, accidently gave away critical information to Agent Rayni Aria, who then escaped his grasp. The once prosperous business Sudiroprojo and the rest of the gang, who had escaped the defeat of both these groups, had once had with the forces of the Empire of Night was resumed when Princess Darkness Magicar, who's disappearance at the hands of Catra D'Memirel had been a central factor in the dissolution of the Empire's presence in its outer territories, was returned from the Unknown Regions by her allies and subsequently led the Empire in resuming its previous war against the International Confederation of Wizards, as well as with the recently-formed defence force known as P.Y.R.A.M.I.D., who would eventually discover by way of its agents that wizard gangs in Sumatra were major benefactors to the remilitarisation process of Project Resurrection.
With this in mind, P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. sought to demoralize and destroy Plas-Ger-Bu Glo's gang by having its leader publicly captured and its members chased off. As a result, Team Awesome (composed of Catra D'Memirel, Adora Firstborn, Bow, Princess Glimmer and team supervisor Khensu) was dispatched to the slums of the Mentawai Islands, where Glo had his headquarters in a cantina his men, including Sudiroprojo, frequented. To properly scatter the gang and ensure it did not rally again to supply Darkness with armaments in return for gold, Catra D'Memirel entered the bar alone, where she found Sudiroprojo Darma, dressed in a black pinstripe suit, white collared shirt and gold-decorated red tie, sitting with several other human members of the gang at a table while he played (and cheated) at cards, all while in the company of his lady friend, Wiyono Yuèhai. Their game interrupted, Sudiroprojo turned to stare coldly at the cloaked figure that had entered, but after a few seconds of blaster fire, the doors to the cantina opened to allow Darma and his friends to spill out in a river of running figures as they emptied the cantina at the run, leaving their leader to be apprehended by D'Memirel. In his haste to escape, Sudiroprojo failed either to notice or recognize Glimmer as he ran past her to be the Crown Princess of Mystacor, to consumed with fear as he ran into the open streets and disapparated away with Yuèhai, his marked cards fluttering behind him.
Later on, Darma, having apparently decided there was no continued profit to be made in working with the Death Eaters, subsequently went independent to join up in an intended slave trading operation that drew the attention of P.Y.R.A.M.I.D., who's members dismantled the trade before it begun. Before they could apprehend Sudiroprojo Darma, however, the former drug dealer was found to have been ambushed at a docking area by women and men loyal to the Dragon Lord and executed, then thrown into the ocean, where his corpse was later found tangled inside a net. Darma's murderers had been acting on the orders of Darkness, who loathed slavery despite her ruthless attitude and had dedicated the efforts of the Death Eaters controlling the Sumatran criminal world to purging the nation of such activities in order to build it and Indonesia into 'a brighter future' akin to the beliefs of the 'True World Order' that her master had envisioned.
