Ezra Bridger was a Force Sensitive Human Male, who was a Jedi during the **Galactic Civil War** and **New Republic** eras. Born on Empire Day in 19 BBY on Lothal, Bridger grew to become a revolutionary figure, sparking rebellion in the Outer Rim, as well as aiding the fledgling **Alliance to Restore the Republic** alongside the rest of his newfound family, the **Spectres.** Joining them in 5 BBY, Ezra was instructed in the ways of the Force by **Kanan Jarrus**. Ezra displayed an innate connection with nature, especially on his homeworld, demonstrating this even more so when he and the **Spectres** liberated the planet of Lothal from **Grand Admiral Thrawn**'s occupation by utilizing the Force to command space faring purrgil to whisk Thrawn's Seventh Fleet into the Unknown Regions.

### **After Lothal**

Shortly after entering the Unknown Regions, Bridger and Thrawn reluctantly had to ally with each other to live, causing the both to develop begrudging respect for one another. During this time, Thrawn explained and provided evidence of the threat that the **Grysk Hegemony** posed to the rest of the galaxy, and Ezra reluctantly allied with Thrawn further, aiding him in preparing for a return to the greater galaxy. During this time, Ezra Bridger journeyed to Ilum to obtain a lightsaber crystal for his *third* lightsaber, as his first had been destroyed by the Grand Inquisitor, and his second had been left with Chopper and Sabine Wren.

### **Heir to the Empire**

In the aftermath of Emperor Palpatine's death on the Death Star II, Thrawn assumed control of many parts of the Empire, with Ezra Bridger in a high command position. Eventually, Bridger encountered Scalpel Squad who attempted to talk him down, and the words did set upon his heart, as did his already existing misgivings.

Serving a cursory role in Thrawn's military for the next two years, Bridger witnessed a brief peace in the galaxy before the New Republic and Thrawn's Empire engaged in their destructive conflict. When Scalpel Squad was rescued, they formed the **Coalition**, and Thrawn and Bridger found themselves at odds with a second faction subsequently. *This* conflict resulted in the Coalition attempting, and failing, in assaulting Thrawn's flagship, the *Chimaera*, and the near-fatal wounding of Clone Captain Rex, and the suspected death of former Jedi Ahsoka Tano.

### **Becoming Fulcrum**

In truth, Ahsoka Tano had been captured by Thrawn, who knew killing her would galvanize Bridger against him immediately. Instead, Bridger spent plenty of time speaking to her in her detention cell, which planted the seeds for Bridger's defection from Thrawn. Ezra developed a highly-encoded transmission with the secretive help of Tano, and he became the next **Fulcrum**, spying on Thrawn for the Coalition. In the aftermath of the **Battle of Otoh Gunga**, Ezra and Ahsoka Tano rejoined the Coalition.

### **The Coalition**

Officially a part of the Coalition, Bridger aided Mael'vith'larez in discrediting Thrawn before the Chiss Ascendancy by testifying to Thrawn's actions. From there, Bridger partook in the **Battle of Nirauan**, using the World Between Worlds to permit Scalpel Squad to infiltrate the *Chimaera* and convince Thrawn to surrender.

### **Aftermath**

After the **Thrawn Crisis**, Ezra Bridger returned to both his friends and the Jedi, aiding in the establishment of the New Jedi Order under Luke Skywalker, as well as aiding the Mandalorian Clan Wren in reunification.
