## Biography

As a young boy, the Human male known as Jin-Lo Rayce was interested in the history of the Jedi Order and spent many nights in the Jedi Archives in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He eventually became apprenticed to Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, who was the Chief Librarian of the Archives. Nu showed Rayce the secret passageways in and out of the Jedi Temple. During this time, Rayce befriended the Kel Dor Jedi Knight Sha Koon and shared knowledge of these passageways with her.

The Year before the War was over Jin-Lo was Knighted and Sent out into Combat assigned to Jedi General Roan Shryne During this Year in Combat Jin-Lo experienced many things including being injuried in combat, His right arm nearly blown off Jin-Lo was side lined and needed healing, he was sent back to Coruscant to heal, he spent the next two weeks spending time in the Jedi Library while his wounds healed.

In 19 BBY, the final year of the Galactic Republic's conflict with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, which commanded the clone troopers of the Republic Army to eliminate the Jedi.] When Palpatine's Sith apprentice, Darth Vader—formerly the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker—and the 501st Legion of clone troopers assaulted the Jedi Temple, Rayce was given a datapad containing blueprints of Coruscant's underworld, as well as several datachips by Nu. He was instructed to flee the Temple through the secret passages. During Rayce's escape, Nu was killed by Vader when she tried to prevent the Dark Lord from activating the Temple's signal beacon, which would order any surviving Jedi to return to Coruscant.

## Personality

As a Jedi, Jin-Lo Rayce was amazed at the histories of the Jedi, and spent hours studying the records in the Jedi Archives.[1] During this time, Rayce bonded with the Kel Dor Jedi Sha Koon and even gave her information about the Jedi Temple's secret passageways. After the outbreak of the Jedi Purge, Rayce managed to avoid detection by Imperial forces, scavenging for resources that he needed in order to live. Eventually, after giving up on locating other Jedi, Rayce refocused his determination on forming a new order, even though he himself was only partially trained. Preservation of the lore of the Jedi was important to Rayce, and he viewed his agents as repositories of that knowledge who were in hiding, rather than lost.
