Temiri Blagg

**Temiri Blagg** was a Human Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order.

## Biography

### Childhood

A native of the planet Cantonica, Temiri was one of several children left behind by less fortunate gamblers in Canto Bight, a Cantonica town known for its casinos, and was then supervised by the stable master Bargwill Tomder to look after fathiere - for a racing horse popular with the rich guests - to take care of. He used a hoof rasp to care for the animals. What little free time they had, Temiri and his friends Arashell Sar and Oniho Zaya spent sharing adventurous tales they picked up around town. To do this, they made figures of their heroes out of the materials that were available to them, i.e. waste, pieces of wood and wire. What Temiri didn't like about Oniho was that the older boy would often take too long to do his chores while Bargwill wasn't watching, making the others work even harder to get all the chores done. On the other hand, he adored Arashell.

### Second Galactic Civil War

#### Meeting the Resistance Reborn

In 34 ABY, Temiri tried to stop his master from hitting a defiant Fathier with an electrically charged dressage whip. However, Bargwill Tomder shook him off effortlessly, throwing him to the ground and threateningly raised his whip at him. Oniho then prepared to help his angry friend up again. Shortly thereafter, Temiri was in a Fathier's box when resistance fighter Rose Tico opened the gate. Temiri then started to press an alarm button. However, Rose identified herself as a member of the Resistance Reborn by wearing a resistance ring depicting the phoenix as a symbol of the rebellion and her fight for freedom, to make it clear that she meant no harm to him. Instead, she asked him for help as she and her partner Finn were on the run from Canto Bight police. Temiri and his friends then willingly opened all the cells and the main gate to free the Fathiers. The children cheered for Rose and Finn as they fled on the back of one of the animals in the fray. Rose left her ring to the street urchin. Temiri told Bargwill that the invaders had freed the Fathiers, but feared he would not believe him and would punish the children for what happened.

#### Tales of Luke Skywalker

Shortly thereafter, Arashell asked Temiri to come with her to listen to Oniho's latest story. Temiri was happy to accompany her so that she could sit next to her. Oniho told his friends how the great Jedi Master Luke Skywalker bravely stood against the First Order at the battle of Crait. Temiri felt the story was too convoluted and had too many twists and turns, but reveled in its ending when Master Skywalker used his lightsaber to confront the odds. Even before Oniho could resolve whether Luke Skywalker would survive the clash, Tomder came into the room and used his whip to admonish the children to work. Temiri put his body between Arashell and Tomder as he did so, hoping she would notice him stepping between her and the whip. Temiri used the Force to pull his broom toward him on his way to the stable, which he had to sweep before the Fathiers returned. As he reluctantly began sweeping the stable, he paused, looked down at the ring of resistance on his hand, which he had been keeping hidden from Tomder, and peered out through the open gate at the night sky. Raising his broomstick like a lightsaber, he longed for adventures himself with Arashell and dreamed of a brighter future in the stars.

### New Jedi Order

#### A New Beginning

At some point following the Second Galactic Civil War, resulting the destruction of the First Order and the rise of the Galactic Alliance that would make excellent changes in the years to come, Temiri Blagg, along with Arashell Sar and Oniho Zaya, encountered Finn once again, who was now with Jedi Master Rey Skywalker of the restored Jedi Order. Believing that she was related to Luke Skywalker, Temiri, Arashell, and Oniho were the first three Force-Sensitive children that were freed from slavery, thanks to Rey using a mind-trick on Bargwill Tomder to free them. Amazed by her power, Temiri and his friends traveled with their new master to Takodana where a Jedi Temple was being rebuilt under the watchful eye of Maz Kanata, who would begin to train them in the ways of the Force.

Throughout the course of his training, Temiri, Arashell and Oniho learned a lot from Rey Skywalker, Maz Kanata, Jannah, and Finn Dameron. They also got to know Chewbacca, who offered to teach the new trainees on how to become pilots, such as allowing them to fly the *Millennium Falcon*.

#### Master of the Order

For many years, Temiri learned all the steps on what it means to be a Jedi. After completing his trials, Temiri rose to the rank of Jedi Knight and took Cade Skywalker as his first apprentice
