Cal Kestis

## Early Life:

At a young age, Cal showed early signs of a connection to the force. In particular, Cal had a unique ability of psychometry, an ability that allowed him to acquire knowledge simply by touching an item or place. He began his training with his master, Jaro Tapal. The two spend their time training on Dathomir, exploring the world and seeing the extent of Cal's power.

Upon the completion of his training, Cal is brought to an ancient temple on Dathomir, which is said to hold power over Time. This said, "Time Stone" has helped to the creation of various time-traveling methods such as "Drankis Threshold" and "The Great Clock. Jaro reveals that he has been apart of a new group of rogue Jedi known as The First Order. This group believes the Jedi Order is failing to see their opportunity to rule the galaxy and that they have fallen from grace. Jaro's organization requires the Time Stone to use on its path to reclaiming the galaxy under its rule. Jaro required Cal's psychometry in order to locate the stone in the temple. Cal refuses to join his master and attempts to flee. Jaro tries to stop him as Cal's connects to the Time Stone and uses its power to escape.

Cal was weakened from tapping into the stone's power. His connection to the force had been broken. Scared that Jaro would track him down, Cal went to Bracca, a scavenger planet to hide. He began to work as a scrapper, hiding his Jedi possessions, knowing that he must stay hidden in order to prevent The First Order from finding The Time Stone.

## Fourth Series:

### The Fallen Order:

Five years have passed since Cal first came to Bracca to hide from Jaro and The First Order. He is content with his new life. One day on the job, Cal sees a hooded woman in the distance. Cal, fearing its The First Order, goes to his home in order to lay low. The woman, however, is already in home and is admiring his lightsaber. The woman reveals herself to be Thalia Phoenix. Thalia having heard of Cal's psychometry abilities when researching the Time Stone, she attempts to recruit him to help her find it. Cal refuses to help as he fears its power, having previous felt its force. Thalia assures him that she wishes to only locate it before someone else can and that it was only a matter of time before someone did. Before Cal can give his decision, his home is attacked. Thalia discovering him has put him out in the open and First Order soldiers attack. Thalia defends and Cal grabs his possessions and runs away.

Cal runs into the junk town to find it under attack by The First Order. He attempts to save civilians, but soldiers force him to continue to run. Eventually Cal makes it to a rooftop where he weakly connects to the force for a moment and is able to bring down an enemy ship. This weakens him and he is subdued by soldiers. Jaro Tapal appears and offers him a place in The First Order, despite the past five years of hiding, if he helps find the Time Stone. Thalia appears to free Cal and tells Jaro to leave the town be. Thalia, prompted by Jaro, explains the origin of The Infinity Stones, which were create by the original six celestial council. Each member creating their own stone. The stones, however, were said to be to have too much power, so they were hidden away so no one could collect all and have complete power over all. Jaro and Thalia begin to fight, but Thalia is pushed aside after distracted by hurt civilians. Cal vows not to be afraid anymore and wields his lightsaber once more. The master and student duel, Cal is able to connect to old abilities, but is suddenly weakened when the power of Time Stone runs through him again. With the power, he blasts Jaro soaring away by mistake.

Having passed out, Cal awakes to find himself in the home of Kamala Khan, a nearby resident of the village. Thalia and Kamala had brought him here to recover. Thalia assumes that some of the Time Stone's power is still within Cal and that he may have a connection with the stone. The stone may have made Cal its guardian and will reveal itself only to him. Cal agrees to finding the stone and taking down The First Order, fearing his old master obtaining that power. Kamala reveals herself to be a conduit and offers to help the fight to which Thalia agrees to it. The trio plan to take clear out The First Order in the town, before driving them out when they go to Darthomir. With his connection to the force still broken, they agree to travel to an ancient Jedi templet on Ilum to restore the connection.

The trio drive the soldiers out of the village and then fly to Ilum. On Ilum, the trio find an ancient Jedi temple, which had once been used to train young Jedi. Cal finds the temple's centre and attempts to make a connection with the force. When he does, the power of the time stone is revealed, forcing Cal to go into a trance. In the trance, he senses a dark presence with the six Infinity Stones, a potential future that the stone is showing him. He also briefly seeing a vision of the Celestial Warrior, Kang who calls out to Cal. Upon reawakening, Cal tells Thalia and Kamala what he had seen. Thalia seems concerned about the dark presence, concluding that it wasn't Thanos and that Kang may have answers. Cal is able to begin to control the time stone's power, despite not physically having the stone. He uses the time stone to reestablish his connection to the force. Cal being fully powered again is ready to face his old Master.

The trio travel to Darthomir to see the area around the Time Stone temple surrounded with The First Order forces. The trio are captured almost immediately and brought before Jaro. Jaro senses the force running through this Cal and brings him before the Time Temple just as he did years ago. Thalia and Kamala are sent away with soldiers. Cal seeing this as the only option to get the time stone away from Jaro plays along. Using his psychometry and connection to the stone, Cal is able to open a vortex to a strange dimension. Jaro and his soldiers lead Cal in to explore. The vortex leads them to The Citadel, a fortress located on an asteroid within the fabric of time. In The Citadel, they meet Kang who says he has been expecting them. Jaro demands that Kang surrender the time stone. Kang obliges and reveals the stone, which is hidden in the clocktower. Kang offers it if Jaro's men can take it from him before quickly kill every soldier. Jaro attempts to strike Kang down but he is easily able to evade. Kang reveals that as the original Celestial Warrior of Time and Dimensions that he can see all that will happen and make moves before any harm can come to him. Jaro threatens to kill Cal as Kang mentions briefly needing to discuss matters with him. Kang agrees to giving Jaro the Time Stone should he be able to kill Cal in a proper fight. Kang releases Cal from his bonds and Cal and Jaro begin to fight.

The two duel through the fortress, Jaro continually having the upper hand on Cal. Cal begs for his former master to end all this and walk away. When he sees Jaro won't stop Cal begins to fight back. The duel ends up on a bridge outside the fortress with Jaro knocking Cal's lightsaber out of his hand. Jaro begins to choke Cal until Cal is fully enraged and connects with the Time Stone. Cal transports the two back in time to the War of Magnusaur years ago. He reveals his Master had been killed with debris from a nearby building and he vowed to avenge his former Master for being forced into such a conflict when Jedis if in charge would avoid such destruction. The two continue their fight with Jaro shooting force lightning so powerful it destroys the building they're standing on causing it to collapse. Cal wakes up in the debris to find Jaro staring off in the distance to see his younger self mourning the death of his Master from the building debris, which present day Jaro caused. Kang brings the two Jedis back to The Citadel. Kang reveals that Jaro was always meant to kill his Master that way and it was fate based on the timeline. Jaro enraged continues his fight Cal leading with Cal getting slashed in the back and with Cal cutting off his former Master's hand. In pain and grief, Jaro stumbles off the cliff into the fabric of time. With Jaro falling into the fabric of time he would fall forever and never find peace or death, Cal uses the Time Stone to manipulate the fabric of time to kill Jaro for good.

Cal awakens sometime later in Kang's office. He congratulates him and offers him the Time Stone as a reward. Cal declines realizing how much power the Stone contained. Kang understands, as agrees to continue to hide the Stone in The Citadel for the time being. He also explains the original council of Celestials and a predicted event known as Ragnarok in which the Six Infinity Stones will be assembled as a weapon and The Celestials shall fall. Kang is unable to see too much further in time, indicating it's all a blur for the first time. In Ragnarok, each stone shall have a champion, to which Kang believes Cal is the Time Stone's champion. Cal agrees knowing he wouldn't have much of a choice. Kang advises Cal to join Thalia in Kollin where he will meet important people involved with this possible future event. Kang sends Cal away back to Darthomir.

Cal is reunited with Thalia and Kamala and breaks them free from their prisons. The First Order flees the area after discovering that Jaro is dead. Kamala travels home to his village and Thalia agrees to bring Cal with her back to Kollin. Upon arrival to Kollin, Thalia is reunited with her daughter Rey Ridley. Cal meets Billy Phoenix and Delsin Rowe and recap their adventurous sensing a connection that forces are bringing their group together.
