Kader Follnor

Kader Rak Follnor is a human male Inquisitor and former Jedi Knight.

## 39BBY-30BBY

Kader was born the first child to a simple family of farmers on the planet of Azbrian, Kader was found only 3 months after his birth, and spent almost his entire infancy on the Jedi academy on Coruscant. When he reached the age of 5 he was placed in the Kath Clan along with Cielan Bouyakab, a Mon Calamari, Trurd Mendiv, a Bothan, Ries Ir, a gran, Shalo Nulo, a kubaz, and Di Vumk, a nikito. Kader developed a strong bond with his peers often making jokes and keeping his friends entertained. As the younglings trained together this bond between Kader and his peers became more apparent, and tangible by the older Jedi of the order. Eventually it came time for the younglings to face the Initiate trials. The ice planet of Ilum was where the trials were held. The clan had no trouble opening the sealed entrance to the temple, and ventured deeper in, greeted by the Jedi master Icomen Rya and Errol Thane. The two masters guided the younglings to the mouth of the Crystal Cave, and instructed them to split up and search for the crystal that would be used in their lightsaber. Kader was hesitant to split from his friends, but with some encouragement from Icomen, he ventured into the catacombs. Despite being separated by many layers of ice, Kader was still able to feel the presence of his friends. Closing his eyes, Kader could see the outlines of the other younglings. Eventually Kader began to see more, tiny, colored lights in various places, his clan mates being drawn to them like a moth to a light. He eventually found that a pattern existed between the crystals, and its center was right in front of Kader. Kader outstretched his hand. Scooping away some of the snow that was on the wall, revealing a green crystal. Kader grabbed it and hurried back to the cave’s entrance. He was glad to see all his friends had found their own crystals, and the younglings quickly compared their crystals. The younglings hurried back to the ship, eager to assemble their lightsabers. Kader leisurely assembles his single bladed saber. Their trials completed, the younglings were ready to move on to the rank of padawan, and begin training under a more experienced Jedi. Icomen Rya took a special interest in Kader, and on the return to Coruscant asked the newly made padawan if he would like to be the apprentice to him. Kader hesitated, knowing training under a jedi master would separate him from his friends. But he was certain he would meet them again, and began his apprenticeship under Icomen.

## 29BBY-23BBY

Kader’s training under master Icomen was filled with the usual ups and downs you would expect from a Jedi Padawan learning the skills required to achieve knighthood. However there was one specific part of training that stood out. Icomen trained Kader in using his force bond to allow telepathic messaging.As  Icomen was a natural telepath as a draethos, it was easy for him to teach Kader. Soon the two Jedi were able to communicate with their minds using the binding energy of the force. This unreadable form of communication made the two a formidable duo.

## 22BBY-20BBY

Kader was with his master Icomen mediating a dispute on the planet Iridonia when Master Windu began to rally Jedi for the attack on Geonosis. Kader and Icomen managed to arrive at the planet alongside Grandmaster Yoda and the Clone Army and partake in the battle. Icomen and his apprentice lead a group of clones into battle against the droid and geonosian forces. While fighting the insectoid inhabitants of the world, Kader’s left shoulder was pierced by a force pike. He refused to let it stop him, and after applying bacta to the wound continued onward. When Kader found himself separated from his master by a rockslide started by a B2 rocket, the padawan managed to rally the clone troops following him into a charge against the droids. Reuniting with his master, the two were beset by geonosian soldiers. Evading the sonic blasts of the geonosian weaponry, the two Jedi and their clone compatriots slew their opponents. After the battle Kader was commended by his master, and after divulging the details to the Council, it was deemed Kader’s actions on Geonosis had met the requirements for the trial of Skill, Courage, and Flesh. Already at the Temple, Kader decided to take the trial of Spirit. Overseen by Errol Thane, Kader began his meditation. He was beset by a vision of himself, alone, facing a legion of armored warriors. He called out for help, but his cries were unanswered. The warriors descended on Kader, and he readied himself against the tide, willing to stand alone against the enemy. Kader awoke before the first blow was struck, his robes stained with sweat. His greatest fear revealed and overcome, Kader had passed the trial of Spirit, all that remained on his road to Knighthood was the trial of Insight. Kader and Icomen departed the temple to help the war effort. One of the earliest battles would see Kader and Icomen flying their Delta 7s above Jabiim. While fighting Kader sensed a peculiar vessel, a large cargo ship was flying into the battle. Using his instincts Kader blasted the ship, revealing it to have been filled with Buzz Droids. This act had saved many a pilot’s lives, and Kader had passed his final trial. Kader and Icomen returned to Coruscant as soon as they could, the Master most pleased to see the quick growth in Kader. Kader thanked Icomen for his teachings, as without them he would not have advanced in the order, and he thanked the Draethos most of all for showing him the power of telepathy. Kader was soon knighted, and spent some time on Coruscant looking for a padawan to apprentice. Amongst the newly made Padawans, Kader took a keen interest in a young human female named Cora Sarn. The young Jedi was energetic and feisty, and reminded Kader of his clanmates from when he was a youngling. Cora was quick to accept a mastership, hoping that it would mean she would see battle sooner. Kader, however, wanted to thoroughly prepare the Padawan for war, as he experienced it’s grievousness firsthand on Geonosis. Cora was initially disappointed feeling as though she had already learned all she had needed to during her time as a youngling. Kader managed to pick a text that he knew would pique his apprentice’s interest, and serve them in the future. It was a text detailing the early weaponry of the Jedi Order, namely Force-imbued blades and the protosaber. This was the start to the tutoring Cora would receive under Kader’s wing. The two were called to the front soon after, and Kader took the time in-between the fights to teach his apprentice how to use the force to telepathically message him, just as Icomen had taught him. The years went by and the two Jedi found themselves saving each other from a grisly death on the battlefield. The two managed to lead their clone comrades into many victories, but they were not without defeats. However, despite any setbacks, the duo prevailed.

## 19BBY

While the Clone Wars raged on, Kader and Cora were sent to the planet Cheravh, to oversee the establishment of a Republic listening outpost along with his master Icomen, Cielan, Shalo, and Di. Kader was overjoyed to see his former clanmates again. The Jedi then landed on the untamed moon, beginning to unload supplies needed to construct the military installation. As they began to move the equipment the Jedi sensed something wrong, but by the time they could pinpoint what it was it was too late. The Jedi and their clone trooper allies were ambushed by Mandalorian Protectors. Cielan was torn to shreds by blaster fire, his friend Di was incinerated, and the clone troopers suffered heavy casualties. Icomen called for a retreat, but was obliterated by a rocket immediately after giving the command. Following the orders of the departed master, the Republic forces vanished into the Cheravh wilderness. Kader had only Cora to accompany him, and as he ran he could feel the lives of his comrades extinguish. Fear gripped his heart and mind, clouding it like a choking smoke. He expected to die any number of gruesome death in the next minute. It was fortunate Sarn was with him, and sensed his distress, bringing him back to reality. Reality would prove a cold mistress however. Shortly after a heavy dart struck the padawan’s back, plunging deep into her flesh and puncturing the heart. As soon as the dart had pierced the skin, Kader sensed the pain emanating from his padawan and quickly caught her before she fell. Kader was sent into a state of shock as he saw the life drain from his apprentice’s eyes. He struggled to even mutter a soothing word. As Sarn’s spark died out, she was only able to whisper one word: “sorry”. Kader dropped to his knees, the body still held tightly in his embrace as tears streaked down his face. The mandalorians encircled the jedi, certain they had extinguished any fight in him. Instead, anger bubbled up in Kader, consuming his fear like a ravenous beast. His muscles tensed, his grip tightened, and with a yell of rage, Kader sent a force repulse out, knocking the armored warriors to the ground. The first one to get up was swiftly decapitated by a throw of the saber. The next disarmed and stabbed. Another cleaved in half. With ferocity Kader cut down his opponents like chaff. When Kader moved to kill the mandalorian that slew his padawan, he grasped the warrior’s throat with the force. Kader could feel the force wrapping around the warrior’s throat, an extension of his own body, cutting off her supply of air. He threw the protector to the ground and slashed. And slashed again. And again. And again. And again. And again. The pile that had been a mandalorian was unrecognizable, and Kader stood triumphant. Then the adrenaline subsided, and it began to rain. Taking the body of Cora, Kader retreated further into the wilderness. He was soon possessed with hatred, at himself for failing to protect his allies, at his newfound loneliness, and a burning hatred for the mandalorians that were the cause for his new plight. Running deep into the wilderness, Kader retired to large mountain, burying Cora near the base and paying respects before beginning his ascent. After moving into a small cave, Kader began meditation, hoping to find peace. Instead Kader felt a whisper. It was a whisper of power to avenge those he had lost. Kader knew this was the temptation of the Dark Side. However he felt it hard to deny it’s advances. He wished so much for infinite strength. That he could soar off this planet and strike down every Mandalorian in the galaxy. Kader opened himself to the power of the Dark Side of the force, and let it intoxicate him. As Kader meditated in the darkness, He became blind to the outside galaxy. So much that he did not feel the great tragedy of Order 66. He had only one thought in his mind, the death of those who had robbed him of his friends, his comrades, his family.

## 18BBY-5BBY

Kader had spent years living in seclusion in Cheravh’s wilderness. His saber and force powers made sustaining himself an easy task. While searching for food, Kader spotted a Viper Probe droid. Kader had thought it was a Seperatist probe droid, and quickly used the force to crush it. Unfortunately for Kader, the droid had transmitted footage of its destruction back to its superiors. The Inquisitorium now knew of his location and sent one of their agents, a Geranite male, after him. Kader confronted the sentient, claiming the Sith would perish against him. The Inquisitor rebuked Kaders claim, saying he was a servant to the Empire. This confused Kader, but he did not ask more, as his thoughts moved towards beating his opponent. The Inquisitor made the first move, his saber-work superior to Kader. Kader managed to use his knowledge in form III to defend himself. But when the two were caught in a saber lock, Kader saw only one way to save himself and strike down the Inquisitor. Reaching out into the force, Kader tapped into his deep feelings of anger, and with his hand unleashed a shock of force lightning. Unprepared for the dark side power, the lightning destroyed the Geranite’s tubes, depriving him of his hydron-three. Kader watched as he withered in pain, unable to breathe. Kader killed him with a saber pierce to the chest. Kader left the body and returned to his abode, unaware of what the Inquisitor’s death would bring. The group sent after the Inquisitor’s death was much larger. Consisting of 3 stormtrooper squads and an AT-ST squadron. Kader was initially overjoyed to see the white armored troopers, believing them to be Republic Clone Troopers that had returned to rescue him. He was quite shocked when demanded he lay down his lightsaber and be taken into custody. He was flown back to Coruscant. Kader was shocked to see the Jedi Temple in ruins, and awed by the new Imperial Palace that had been constructed. He was brought to Imperial Intelligence’s headquarters, where he was questioned by a Rattataki inquisitor named Maqai. Kader swore that he was a Jedi, but his anger at his captors betrayed his allegiance to the Dark Side. He was soon put into the rigorous training prospective inquisitors must accomplish to become accepted into their ranks. Having former Jedi training and war experience under his belt, Kader had no difficulty passing these trials. Saber combat against training droids, force powers against deadly obstacles, Kader managed to overcome the challenges, although it was not without difficulty. Soon Kader was training under the eye of the current Grand Inquisitor, Hydra. The training under her attentiveness became much more challenging. Alien mercenaries replaced droids in saber combat, the courses where he practiced his force powers became more twisted and deadly, poisonous gas, steep falls, and all manner of traps. Kader managed to succeed, despite the many injuries he sustained. Soon Kader had moved onto the final step of his training, would be under the Galactic Emperor himself, Sheev Palpatine. The courses under his tutelage were a living hell. Alien mercenaries replaced with monstrosities created from Sith Alchemy, having to use the force to defend himself from poisoned darts while drugged. It was only through the dark side that Kader sustained and empowered himself to pass the trials. After bleeding his saber red, Kader had become an Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire. He would scour the galaxy for those who could touch the force, turning them to the Emperor’s cause, or destroying them if they refused. But Kader longed to take vengeance against the Mandalorians, the hate he felt against them only amplified by his training. But Kader knew his place, he would obey, solely so he may one day have his revenge.
