Lor San Tekka

Lor San Tekka was a human male explorer and member of the Church of the Force who was born in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. He became a believer in the ideals of the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars, despite not being Force-sensitive, and followed the underground faith of his church during the dark reign of the Galactic Empire over the galaxy. San Tekka found Jedi lore that the Empire attempted to suppress, and his knowledge of the galaxy and its history was useful to the New Republic after it prevailed over the Empire during the Battle of Endor and began a period of galactic reconstruction.
==History==
===Imperial Era===
When the Jedi were branded as traitors by the Emperor at the end of the Clone Wars, Lor San Tekka did not believe it. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, San Tekka was affiliated with the Church of the Force and became an explorer, uncovering old Jedi lore in order to safeguard it from the hands of the Empire. At some point he met and developed a friendly relationship with Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, who he held in high regard.
In the year 1 BBY, San Tekka was exploring old ruins on the fourth moon of Yavin when he inadvertently met Jedi Knight Jarik Shan and his adoptive daughter Mara Jade, as well as their astromech droid, R5-S7, within an old Sith structure. San Tekka eagerly introduced himself to the Jedi and offered his services in rebuilding the Jedi Order.
==Personality and traits==
Lor San Tekka was a human male that stood at 1.85 meters, had brown hair—later white—blue eyes, and light skin.
A seasoned explorer, San Tekka had knowledge and wisdom from across the galaxy, including the hidden lore of the Jedi Order that the Galactic Empire tried to suppress in the wake of the Clone Wars. San Tekka was a member of the Church of the Force and a believer in the ideals of the Jedi, believing that the Jedi were essential to the balance in the Force. Unable ignore all the despair in the galaxy, he sought to preserve Jedi artifacts and history in the hope that the Jedi Order would one day be restored.
San Tekka traveled lightly in his later years and showed wisdom with the few artifacts he continued to carry from place to place. He often wore a homespun fantabu-wool coat, along with a tuanulberry-dyed linen tunic and gundark-hide survival belt; around his neck he wore what was dubbed the Chain of Wisdom.
