## Biography

### Birth

Zees Geno was born in 25 BBY, on the Outer Rim planet of Serenno. Born into Serenno nobility and wealth, Zees and his sister, formerly known as Cedza Geno, lived in luxury. In 15 BBY, thieves from the Aparian Wastes came to steal the family's Scebian necklace. In the robbery, their parents were killed during their sleep, leaving Zees and Cedza to fend for themselves.

### Journey through grief

Both Zees and Cedza had immense hatred for their parents killers, sharing their grief and feelings with each-other. In 18 BBY, Zees and Cedza travelled to the Aparian Wastes to get revenge. Fuelled with adrenaline, Zees and Cedza slaughtered all those suspected to have killed their parents, and led to both teenagers turning to the dark side.

Cedza was quick to fall to the Dark side, and allowed her hatred, anger and fear control her, whereas Zees was much more hesitant to leave the Light side of the Force. Zees searched for a mysterious Jedi Master known only as 'The Wise One', and tried to be trained into a Jedi.

Zees found the Jedi Master a dense forest on Serenno, and asked him to be trained into a Jedi.

### Training

After weeks of training, the Wise One revealed himself to be Jedi Master Dashramire The Wise, revered Jedi who barely survived the Clone Wars and Order 66. Zees trained for years, turning from a padawan, to a Jedi Knight, to a Jedi Sentinel. After reaching this rank, Dashramire was contacted by fellow Jedi Master Quin'jo Worak, and informed him of the new Jedi temple on Crodin, a safe-space for remaining Jedi to train Padawans. Zees and Dashramire travelled to Crodin and began to train the younglings Quin'jo had rescued, and began to build up the New Jedi Republic.

### Cedza's betrayal

Due to Zees' training to become a Jedi Sentinel and training his own Padawan, Moore Unita, he had forgotten his dark past with his sister Cedza. His interaction with the Dark side was long gone in his mind.

In 9 ABY, the Sith Eternal Empire arrived on Crodin to attack the Jedi temple. To defend fellow Jedi and protect younglings and archives, Zees was at the front of the Jedi as a first defence. 2 Sith Lords and a Sith Warrior arrived at the temple, Darth Molgic (Bestial Aszad), Darth Jarn (Scarbi Doozba) and Cedza Laare. Zees immedaitly recognized his sister, and that she had fallen to the Dark side, and was near to be a Sith Lord.

Shattered and confused, Zees called out to his corrupted sister, asking her why she could've betrayed the Light side. Cedza ignored Zees and rushed at him with her hilted lightsaber. Cedza had gained extensive training from Darth Pran (Kargann Grymas) in the Dark side, and was a formidable opponent for Zees.

During their battle, Zees' Padawan Moore was taken hostage by Darth Molgic and an ultimatum was given to Zees. In order for Moore's life to be spared, he would have to join the Dark side with his sister. Zees wanting to spare Moore's life, he sacrificed himself to the Dark side in order to save her. As he reluctantly walked toward the Sith cruiser, Darth Molgic stabbed Moore with his double-bladed lightsaber and killed Zees' Padawan.

Shocked and confused, Zees was attacked by his sister Cedza and mortally wounded. She rushed behind him and sliced his legs off with her lightsaber, cut off his left arm and force choked him, crushing his windpipe. Leaving him for dead, the 3 Sith left Crodin victorious.

### Recovery

After the Sith's escape, the Jedi tried to save those still alive. Jedi Knight Ken Trid found Zees' critically injured body and took him to the Healing wing of the Jedi temple. Zees was immediately placed in a Bacta tank, allowing him to heal the remaining parts of his body. He was fitted with leg cybernetics, arm cybernetics and a breathalyzer with a Bacta-oxygen tank for him to breath.

Once Zees recovered, it took him days to process his now half-cyborg body, his sister betraying him and falling to the dark side and that his beloved Padawan Moore had been killed.
