The Barsen'thor

The Barsen'thor was a male Jedi Consular active during the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire, and alongside the Hero of Tython was one of the most important and powerful Jedi of the time.
The Barsen'thor disappeared by the year 3637 BBY, around the time when Vitiate—in the guise of Emperor Valkorion—entered his secret Eternal Empire as a third faction in the Galactic War. The Jedi Master was still missing five years later when an alliance of various factions was formed against the Eternal Empire.
== History==
The Barsen'thor showed incredible Force potential at a young age and as such was assigned to the Jedi Master Yuon-Par. Yuon-Par specialized in archeaology and as such the Barsen'thor was educated in much of the same.  One of his first missions was protecting priceless relics from the Flesh Raiders, who were prone to destroying Jedi artifacts. From there the Barsen'thor formed a partnership with a friendly Trandoshan named Qyzen Fess, an old friend of his masters. The two would soon be joined by others on their adventures, including another Jedi named Nadia Grell who became the Barsen'thor's apprentice and possible lover.  
One of the Barsen'thor's missions was the search for the location of Fount of Rajivari, which contained many of the collected teachings of the fallen Jedi Master.  In the process the Barsen'thor attempted to stop another force-sensitive named Nalen Raloch from discovering the Fount of Rajivari. The Barsen'thor also participated in negotiations with diplomats and other figures in an attempt to further peaceful efforts in the galaxy. Yet another of the Barsen'thor's adventures involved battling the Sith plaguemaster Vivicar and attempting to save as many victims of his plagues as he could.
The Barsen'thor eventually came to learn that another Jedi Master named Syo, was an unwitting servant of the Sith Emperor, and dueled him in the caves of Corellia. The Barsen'thor triumphed but rather than slay the defeated Jedi Master attempted to help him reject the Sith Emperor.
The Barsen'thor's insight on the Jedi Council became invaluable for the war effort, and his remarkable Force affinity and countless previous achievements were respected by fellow Council members, including Grand Master Shan. As the war progressed, however, duty often called the Barsen'thor away from the Council chambers on Tython, and he continued to travel across the galaxy and assist wherever his help was needed. At one point in the year 3638 BBY, the Jedi Master and his crew found themselves on the planet Rishi, a remote world infamous for being a haven for pirates. While in the city of Raider's Cove, the Barsen'thor and a companion were contacted via holocomm by Shan, who informed the Jedi Master that the Jedi Council missed his presence on Tython.
Members of the Council had also decided that in order to ensure a bright future for the Jedi, they needed to preserve all the knowledge they possessed, especially the discoveries made by the Barsen'thor, including the information about the shielding technique, the Esh-kha and the Children of the Emperor, among other things. As such, the Council wanted him to construct a personal holocron, so future generations could consult it. According to Shan, a Bothan Jedi Master and a master of holocron craft, Kutri O'a—who was known for his prophetic abilities—had wanted to meet the Barsen'thor for a long time and had arrived on Rishi days earlier, guided by the Force. Following Shan's instructions, the Barsen'thor met with O'a, who spoke of the visions he had received.
According to him, the Barsen'thor's knowledge would be required by various individuals in many possible future scenarios. As the holocron was more than just a simple recording, being a reflection of the Barsen'thor's personality, O'a needed to scan his brain to establish a baseline for the holocron's matrix. However, in order to undertake the procedure, the Barsen'thor first needed to achieve a state of calm and serenity, referred to as the Susheer State. On Tython, achieving such a state could be possible by using a meditation chamber, but such technology was unavailable on the relatively primitive world of Rishi.
However, like most cultures, the native Rishii people also possessed rituals for attaining a higher state of consciousness, which could be used for the Jedi's purposes. The Bothan Jedi directed the Barsen'thor and a companion to the jungles of Rishi, in order to gather plants called kishu reeds for the ritual. During the process, the Jedi Master heard voices through the Force, visions of past and future. Guided by O'a via holocomm, he embraced those visions, meditated in the calming waters of a nearby waterfall and then burned the collected kishu reeds at a sacred Rishii location, meditating beside the fire. Doing those rituals helped the Barsen'thor achieve the Susheer State, and he returned to O'a, who had prepared an empty holocron for the procedure. In order for the device's crystal matrix to develop, it had to anchor itself to the Barsen'thor's knowledge and experiences. As such, O'a consulted the Force to receive glimpses of the future, asking the Barsen'thor what he would do in the situations presented. When the ritual was over, the Barsen'thor had successfully created a personal holocron, as requested by his fellow Jedi.
