Odan-Urr

The voice of change tends to be the voice of a martyr. - Circle ShiftOdan-Urr was a male Draethos Jedi Master and Jedi librarian during the height of the Galactic Republic. He was trained by the Celegian Jedi Master Ooroo. 
He studied the Jedi Code during his time as a Jedi Master, creating a revised version which lasted for thousands of years after his death. 
He was murdered by Exar Kun in the Jedi Library on Ossus. Kun would later become the Sith Master of Ulic Qel-Droma. 
Obi-Wan Kenobi would later access his holocron, seeking information. 
== Early Life ==
Odan-Urr was a Jedi Padawan in 5000 BBY, and during his time as the Watchman of Koros, he had a series of visions depicting the impending Sith invasion. He and his Jedi companion, Memit Nadill, attempted to warn the Galactic Senate of the Sith attack, but the Senate refused to listen. 
However, Odan-Urr had the backing of the armies of Empress Teta, and participated in the Battle of Kirrek, where the Sith Empire attempted to crush the Republic. The Republic emerged victorious, though only at the expense of the life of Master Ooroo. 
== The Great Jedi Library and Death ==
In the aftermath of the war, Odan-Urr found an ancient Sith holocron—the only one known to have existed at the time—which he kept safely at all times. 
Shortly after, he founded the Great Jedi Library on Ossus, where he became the Keeper of the Chamber of Antiquities for several centuries. 
During the Great Sith War—a galaxy-wide conflict which took the lives of hundreds of Jedi - Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun learned of Odan-Urr's Sith holocron, and went to the old Master's Great Library to claim it. Odan-Urr attempted to stop him, but the young dark sider lashed out at the Draethos with the Force, killing him. 
== Circle Shift ==
At some point before his death, Jedi Master Odan-Urr created a holocron that contained his teachings.
During 5201, Obi-Wan Kenobi accessed his holocron seeking the location of Jedi Master Ood Bnar, a friend of Odan-Urr. Kenobi was told to seek Bnar at the Great Library on Ossus. 
Kenobi was also told after inquiring about the Sith Code, that Odan-Urr's version of the Jedi Code was a simplified version of the traditional code, which was open to much interpretation. His version of the Code was meant to help Jedi who were uncertain as to what the Force demanded of them.
