Master Bal Darsten

Biography: Born on Padawan Kesh, Bal Darsten was one of only a few remaining descendents from the Jedi who abandoned the Temple on Tython several hundred years earlier to successfully pass his trials 4 generations later. He became leader of the descendants at age 25 and achieved the Temple Master title after his Master, Jedi Temple Master Tallo died from an incurable illness in his forties passing to Bal his blue lightsaber as well as his titles. Masters and knights seemed to perish often on the harsh world of Tython and as such Bal never fully achieved his full potential and although been given the title of Master, was still reasonably weak in the use of the force and at the age of 30 took Jenna as a bride. At the age of 35 he fathered a son naming him Galmar, his wife Jenna dying in childbirth. Je’daii Master Terrogate arrived on Tython on behalf of the New Je’daii order in 160ABY discovering the Temple and the remaining community known as The Descendants on a mission to rebuild the orders Temples. Bal sensed darkness in the Je’daii and attacked Terrogate but was no match for the former Sith warrior. Defeating Bal easily in an altercation the Cathar then offered Bal and his remaining descendants a place in the Je’daii order, and offered them the approval to stay at Padawan Kesh should they decide to leave the Jedi faith. Either way, the Temple belonged to the Je’daii order now. Bal, after holding an emergency meeting with the other head of the Descendants agreed and remained at the Je’daii Academy Temple and began training again under Terrogate. He was selected onto the new Je’daii Council in 161ABY by a unanimous vote and was allowed to continue training his apprentice and son Galmar. Bal Darsten and his son were also involved in the battle for Tython in 162 ABY and were in one of the ships that got sucked through the space/time distortion sending them back in time to 1259 BBY.
