Beren Gryffon

Beren Gryffon, also known as Beren the Grey was a human male who was famous for being the founder of The Grey Jedi Order.
== Early years ==
Beren was born in the desert planet of Jakku in 100 ABY, he served the Galactic Alliance during their wars against Darth Krayt and Darth Wredd, during which he discovered that he could use the force after saving a friend from getting shot. After Wredd´s death in 139 ABY, Beren joined the Jedi Order.
== The New Order ==
Beren became interested in the Order´s history and he realized that most of the wars in galaxy have been caused by the eternal conflict between Jedi and Sith.
Disappointed by this, he left the Jedi Order and returned to his native planet Jakku, where he built the first temple of the Grey Jedi Order in 142 ABY. Soon many force users across the galaxy arrived in the planet seeking to become his apprentice.
In the following wars and the rise of Darth Pinnacle, Beren wanted the Order to remain neutral, denying every alliance offer that came to him, from both Jedi and Sith.
== A New Visitor ==
In 172 ABY, a lone ship landed in Jakku, it had only one passenger, the only survivor of the One Sith massacre by Pinaccle one year prior. He had nowhere to go, both the Jedi and Skyriver wanted him dead, and even the Nagai, his own race, despised him. When he finally arrived in the temple, Beren and many of his Grey Jedi were waiting for him. Desperate, he kneeled before Beren and begged him to accept him in the order, he affirmed that he had abandoned the Sith way forever. The other Grey Jedi distrusted him, and said that Beren should send him back to Skyriver in chains so that Axel would do to him as he wanted. Other one asked him to kill him in the spot. Beren smiled and said, "That would be useless, Darth Nihl is already dead", after which he helped him get up and he took him as his apprentice.
== Cerberus ==
By 177 ABY, Nihl had finished his Grey Jedi training and became Beren´s second in command. One day a ship arrived in Jakku, the only passenger was an envoy from Skyriver, who wanted to offer another alliance. Beren and Nihl accepted to speak to him in a nearby house, away from the other Grey Jedi´s ears. The offer was simple, Cerberus, the new leader of Skyriver, was at war against the Jedi Order, and he needed trained force users to defeat them, as the sith were believed to be extinct after Axel´s death in 174 ABY, the Grey Jedi was his only option. In exchange for their help, the order would gain many prestige in Skyriver, and Beren would become an advisor to Cerberus himself.
Beren almost laughed he heard that and said:
"What he wants is wardogs, I thought that a man whose name is Cerberus would distinguish a war dog quite well, I guess I was wrong. We are not bounty hunters, we don´t kill people for money or for power, we are the Grey Jedi Order and we will never..."
Beren wanted to say more, but he was stopped as Nihl stabbed him in the back with his lightsaber. With Beren´s corpse next to him, Nihl said to the surprised envoy "We accept".
Nihl returned to the Grey Jedi temple with two news, that the Order had made an alliance with Skyriver and that Beren had sadly died of a heart attack during the negotiations. The people who didn´t believed that story were quickly silenced by Nihl and his followers. Soon Nihl was accepted as the new leader of the Grey Jedi Order.
== Legacy ==
After Nihl´s death in Coruscant in 209 ABY, Deliah Skywalker, the new leader of the Order, brought back many of Beren´s rules (she also talked to Beren´s force spirit in secret). He was remembered as a good man whose legacy was nearly destroyed by Nihl´s wrongdoings.
