Basic Info

Bio

Age: 47 Occupation: Teacher/Headmaster Faction Affiliation: Yavin 4 Jedi Praxeum, Yavin Four Defense Force

His build is lean, years basking in the power of the Force has prevented him from focusing on conditioning his body, as is common with Jedi.

He can typically be found wearing either brown/tan Jedi Master robes, or a tan flight suit (think Luke from Epidode V), with utility pockets and a belt attachment.

Weapons

Lightsabers: Two single-bladed sabers, Green and Blue

Powers

Force Powers: Has mastered many abilities, but many more still elude his expertise. :P

History

General Information

I helped found yet no longer participate in the Eastern Rim Alliance, a coalition of Eastern Rim worlds dedicated to the protection of its people, as well as the Yavin IV Jedi Academy handed down to me by Luke Skywalker after his establishment of the Jedi Order. I was born Corellian, raised Coruscanti, I live Rebel. My parents both served and died in the Rebel Alliance. My father was killed roughly around 7 ABY, during an Imperial raid on Vulpter, and my mother vanished during the Battle of Endor.

Imperial Remnant War

After the death of the Emperor, I served in the Alliance as part of Grey Squadron, as squadron leader, and later a short stint with Rogue Squadron during the Thrawn Crisis. I met Luke Skywalker for the first time before his raid on the Mount Tantiss storehouse, and trained with him for many years after Thrawn's death. As his more inconspicuous Jedi padawan, I served mostly away from the Academy he established, and later on as a guardian for Leia Solo's son, Anakin Solo, on the planet Anoth.

After the Clone Emperor was defeated, I returned to the Academy, and made a Jedi Master for my actions during the previous several years. My training, as far as Luke Skywalker was concerned, was over, though my learning would continue for the rest of my life.

I fought throughout the Imperial Remnant war, and then the Yuuzhan Vong invaded.

Yuuzhan Vong War

I served as a commander with the New Republic military, fighting through Helska 4, all the way to the first Battle for Coruscant. After the deterioration of the New Republic, I served under Wedge Antilles until the reformation of the military into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. After that, I followed Wedge Antilles to the Separatist side of the Galactic Alliance Civil War, fighting for Corellia for some time until Jacen Solo took control of the G.A., after which I spent my time traveling and protecting those Jedi who had been endangered by his rule. I served Luke Skywalker, my old master, during this time, until the conflict was resolved, and Jacen Solo, turned Darth Caedus, was killed.
