Korvan Toldreyn

**Korvan Toldreyn** is a former Jedi Knight of the old Jedi Order and a current Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order and member of the Ruusan Council. The son of Jedi Knight Durian Toldreyn, the Force came naturally to Korvan who was apprenticed under Mace Windu himself and proved himself a talented duelist. He went on to be one of the few Jedi in the old Order to become adept in the use of Windu's form of Juyo, also known as Vapaad. He would meet the Atoan medic Alysia Li'del shortly before the Clone Wars whilst on a mission to the Expansion Region, and when Korvan led the 909th Katarns against the Confederacy of Independent Systems when the war outbroke, he would invite her to join his unit as auxiliary support.

This would ultimately prove to be a mistake for Toldreyn's loyalty to the Jedi Code, as the two soon fell in love and began an illicit relationship. After the creation of the Nebulous Zone, Korvan would be instrumental in forming the New Jedi Order within the Rimward Commonwealth and would eventually marry Alysia, having four children with her; Darex Toldreyn, Annika Toldreyn, and the twins Arixa Toldreyn and Mirala Toldreyn. All four would go on to join the New Jedi Order as younglings. Korvan would eventually ascend to the rank of Jedi Master and would come to sit on the Ruusan council, now leading the New Jedi Order against the Sadowan Empire. Having been present on the world of Eidolon when the Sons of Sadow succeeded in casting the Nebulous Zone and resurrecting Naga Sadow, Toldreyn feels partially responsible for the rise of the Sith and is extremely focused on bringing down the Empire.

Born in 25 ANZ on the planet of Dantooine, Korvan was born a set of twins, with his brother Ankurn to the farmer Jaina Corandel, who had been brief lovers with the Jedi Knight Durian Toldreyn. The two were identified early as Force-sensitives and brought to the Coruscant temple, where Durian Toldreyn eventually claimed them as his own, alongside their half-brother, Darex. Though Durian was punished for his repeated breaking of the Jedi Code, the children were permitted to remain in the Order and trained as younglings.

Korvan was placed into Hawkbat Clan with his brothers and the twins in particular would demonstrate immediate talent for lightsaber dueling and teamwork. They would go on to form a Force bond, only incentivizing the Council to keep the two padawans close. Darex did not become as close as Korvan and Ankurn, but the three were generally easy companions.

After completing the Initiate Trials top of his cut for lightsaber skills, Korvan was selected by Mace Windu to be his padawan learner. Toldreyn's new master quickly took notice of his ability with a lightsaber, choosing primarily to focus on his ability as a duelist rather than the more mystical associations of the force. Korvan became quite skilled in the most basic forms of lightsaber combat both in training and in numerous missions along with his master. One such mission saw the two visiting the undercity of the planet Taris, where a Black Sun scientist had been attempting to tame Rakghouls and weaponize the Rakghoul plague. Destroying the main labs in the Undercity, Korvan and Windu missed the lead scientist, who had escaped with a prototype version of the weaponised plague.

As vengeance, and in an effort to spread the plague to the Republic as Black Sun had planned, the plague was unleashed on Windu and Korvan's escort ship, The *Vigilance*, turning the vast majority of the crew into ferocious Rakghouls, and leaving only a handful of survivors around by the time that Korvan and his master returned to their ship. Fighting their way to the bridge, Windu and his Padawan managed to guide the ship on a collision course with Taris' star, destroying the ship and the plague in the process.

As Korvan continued with his Padawan training, Windu became aware of his composure and growing ability as a duelist, choosing to train the young Jedi in the rarer art of Juyo. Rapidly becoming skilled in the ability, Korvan assisted Windu in his attempts to modify the form of Juyo in a way to make it more appropriate for light-side force users. As a result, Windu, along with the assistance of his Padawan, created the subsequent style of Vaapad. Shortly after they perfected the new technique, Korvan was seen fit to advance, and advanced to the rank of Jedi Knight at the age of eighteen.

Now a full Knight, Korvan would begin to undertake his own missions, focusing on the Outer Rim and the Expansion Region. On one such mission combating pirates, he would meet an Atoan doctor by the name of Alysia Li'del, who he came to admire for her tenacity and insistence on treating even the injured criminals. He would add her to his growing lists of contacts.

At the start of the Clone Wars, Korvan had achieved the rank of Jedi Knight, and was chosen to lead his own unit, taking charge of the 909th Katarns, a fast assault unit. Along with taking command of the 909th, Korvan was appointed to lead the Republic Campaign on the planet of Takodana, a crucial planet to maintain the trade between Core Worlds and the Western Reaches. During the Takodana campaign Korvan would invite non-military combatants to assist the Katarns during the conflict, among them Alysia Li'del.

Korvan's twin brother Ankurn was also assigned to assist him in his campaign, and considering the relative importance of Takodana to both sides in the war, neither the 909th nor Ankurn's 526th 'Mud-divers' saw much action elsewhere, mostly committed to Takodana throughout the war. This would change when the war front shifted to the pivotal world of Eidolon, and Korvan with the 909th would move to support the 194th and others during the Eidolon Campaign, leading alongside other Generals like Vrierias and Jedi Commanders like Aasra Yanto.

Shortly after the first leg of the Eidolon Campaign, Korvan, like his father and brother Darex, would break the Jedi Code and begin a relationship with Alysia, Toldreyn having his convictions steadily down by the slog of war in the Outer Rim. He would only leave the Eidolon front following that point to assist a Jedi-led assault on Vjun against the Sons of Sadow, Dark side Force users performing some sort of dark ritual on certain planets across the galaxy.

This would culminate on Eidolon, where Korvan was still pushing Confederacy and cultist forces. There the ritual would be actualized and the ancient Sith Naga Sadow would be resurrected. At the same time, the Nebulous Zone was created, and Korvan would become one of the many Jedi trapped within it. Joining with other Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jaro Tapal, Korvan would support the creation of the Rimward Alliance against the new Sadowan Empire, which would later become the Commonwealth. Under their banner Korvan would help form the New Jedi Order to combat the Sith. With the new rules of the order permitting relations and attachment, Korvan would marry Alysia, and the two would go on to have four children during their time within the Nebulous Zone.

As of 20 AZ, Korvan has middled in age, but has not lost an ounce of his wit or military prowess. He continues to campaign against the Sith and Naga Sadow in particular, feeling responsible for the Sith Emperor's resurrection and seeking to destroy him at all costs. His family lives with him on Ruusan, and his children are all Padawans or younglings within the New Jedi Order.
