> - Edgar Saan speaking to his Padawan, Tylo Rumarch, shortly before the execution of Order 66 circa 19 BBY

Edgar Saan was a Human male Jedi Knight originating from Dantooine, who during the Clone Wars led the 3rd Engineering Battalion of the Grand Army of The Republic as it's Jedi General. Though considered slightly eccentric by many, Edgar was a respected Jedi who was known for his strength in the Force and kindhearted and trusting nature. However, Saan eventually fell out of favor with the GAR's leadership and many of his Jedi peers, after voicing anti-war opinions. Surviving the execution of Order 66, Edgar lived a life in exile as a mechanic in the Outer Rim after severing himself off from the Force to prevent falling to the Dark Side, until years later when he regained his connection to the Force and started assisting other former Jedi with fighting against the Galactic Empire.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life & Upbringing**

Born to a family that had on both sides farmed crops on the steppes of Dantooine for generations as a first-born, Edgar spent his earliest years as any ordinary child might and was generally happy during his upbringing on Dantooine, though he was later unable to recall the vast majority of his life during these years. Edgar's family was of modest means, though were respected members of their local village community and thus rarely went hungry outside of especially fierce famines and other catastrophes. Edgar was deeply loved by his family, and was likely going to grow up to become a humble farmer as his family had been for years before.

### **Entry into the Jedi Order**

Discovered by Jedi Seeker & Knight Lysa Daras at his village following mandatory Midichlorian count testing of the settlement's youth, Edgar's parents agreed to allow Lysa to take him to Coruscant to begin life as a Jedi after a short discussion. Assigned to the Bergruutfa Clan as a fresh Initiate, Edgar struggled with relating to his fellow younglings and as such had few friends during his time as one. While Edgar struggled with learning the ropes of lightsaber combat, and even grasping the Force, he showed promise with his dedication as well as great interest in learning more about many things, including history, languages, ships and droids.

While most known to his teachers and peers as foolhardy and reclusive from a young age, Edgar showed many positive traits from a young age as well, including intelligence, resourcefulness and perseverance. Having made some close friends in his Initiate Clan over the years, Edgar was happy with his life at the Jedi Temple and was always eager to learn more, especially from Grand Master Yoda, who he considered his favorite teacher at the temple due to his seemingly infinite wisdom as well as never-ending compassion. Despite struggling with grasping the Force at first, Edgar had learned from many great Jedi to quiet his inner turmoil and focus in the Force, becoming quite skilled in wielding and perceiving it over the years.

### **Becoming a Padawan**

Though Edgar's performance in the year's Apprentice Tournament had been average at best, Edgar had shown his intelligence, resourcefulness and Force potential to the point that the Zabrak Jedi Master Corr Vane had developed an interest in Edgar. Observing the young human during various lessons and exercises, Vane would soon decide to take Saan as his Padawan learner. While at first unsure what to think of the Zabrak, whose personality clashed largely with Edgar's own, the pair would eventually develop a connection and grow close with his new Master. Over the years, Vane had taught various important lessons to Edgar to shape his personality and encourage his positive traits, helped him hone his skills in the Force, supported his interests of technology and pushed him to train harder in the art of lightsaber combat to become more than merely competent at it.

Taken a world in the Adega system one day by his Master to finally obtain a lightsaber crystal and construct his lightsaber, Edgar felt a special connection to one of the crystals in the cavern, as it was essentially calling to him in the Force. Edgar thus obtained the crystal and then later assembled his lightsaber via telekinesis. When igniting his saber for the first time, it's blade was a peculiar shade of yellow, very uncommon among the Jedi of his day save for the Temple Guards. According to some of his peers back at the Temple, it was an omen of sorts, whether good or bad, though with Corr's advice Edgar paid no mind to such remarks.

Traveling across the galaxy with his Master countless times dealing with criminal groups, advising local defense groups and so on, Edgar's time as Corr's Padawan learner shaped his personality and worldview considerably. Eager to be allowed to attend the Trials of Knighthood to become a fully-fledged Jedi, his Master time and time again told Edgar that he was not yet ready. Confused and annoyed by this, Edgar placed more focus into study and meditation and began to perform considerably better in his exercises and training to the notice of his Master. After a particularly notable trip to the Inner Rim planet of Onderon where Edgar's resourcefulness allowed a settlement of locals to finally solve an issue plaguing their infrastructure, Master Corr had finally decided to allow Edgar to attend the next Trials of Knighthood. Pushed to his psychical and mental limits during the Trials, and forced to apply and adapt Master Corr's many lessons and teachings several times during the trials, Edgar finally completed the Trials of Knighthood, had his Padawan's braid removed and was dubbed a Jedi Knight by the Grand Master, Yoda, as was tradition. Congratulated by his fellow Padawans as well as his Master, Edgar had never felt as accomplished and happy as he had after being raised to the rank of Knight in the Jedi Order.

### **Knighthood**

Spending the following years of his life as a Jedi Knight pursuing further knowledge of the Force, advancing his knowledge of lightsaber combat as well as technology and traveling the galaxy, Edgar voluntarily chose to not take a Padawan. Feeling that he was unprepared for teaching an apprentice yet, and that having one would only slow down his own studies and training, he instead remained as a Jedi Sentinel without a Padawan. Known by all those who had gotten to know him as a dedicated Jedi though sometimes slightly eccentric, Edgar was a well-appreciated member of the Jedi Order and had been since his years as a Padawan. Maintaining contact with his former Master, who he continued to frequently spar with and speak to when troubled by something, Edgar also kept in touch with many of the Padawans he had formed friendships with during their formative years.

Having grown into a patient and well-learned young man, Edgar frequently spent time in the Outer and Mid Rims, getting to know the populations of rural settlements and helping them construct new buildings, repair vehicles and modify droids. He often felt more at home sipping on tea with a family he had met mere days ago than at the Jedi Temple, though he also missed his former Master and fellow Jedi Knights when away from the Temple. Meeting a Pantoran woman of a similar age as Edgar named Sara, Edgar was in love with her almost immediately. Though he spent much of his time on the planet Sara lived on with her, he ultimately recognized that he could not remain attached to her as it was unbecoming of a Jedi and potentially dangerous. Returning to the temple after saying his goodbyes to the young woman, Edgar continued to think of her for years to come.

After several years of life as a Jedi Knight without an apprentice due to feeling that he would be inadequate as a teacher, Edgar finally had a change of heart, and felt not only that duty and tradition compelled him to train an apprentice as thousands of Jedi before him had done, but also that he had grown much wiser over the years and would like to impart some of the knowledge he had gained on a prospective Jedi. Soon after, Edgar would decide to eventually take a promising youngling as his Padawan, a Rodian named Tylo Rumarch whom reminded Edgar much of his younger self and showed great promise with his usage of the Force. Edgar formed a strong master-apprentice bond with the young man quickly, and both taught Tylo many lessons, as well as learned much of both the Force and himself while training and teaching the young Rodian.

### **The Clone Wars**

In 22 BBY, the largest galaxy-spanning conflict in years had been set off by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Recalled to the temple from an outreach mission he was on with his new Padawan, Edgar eagerly accepted command of the 3rd Engineering Battalion as it's Jedi General due to his knowledge of technology and demolitions alike, with his Padawan as it's Jedi Commander, and CT-8420 "Pri" as it's ARC commander. From early on in the war, Edgar and Tylo provided a small but critical component to the ground offensives at many worlds and systems. Having difficulty to first adjusting both leading a large amount of men and fighting in a war, as Edgar participated in more battles and skirmishes throughout the war he quickly grew accustomed to it and honed his connection to the force as well as martial knowledge through his experiences.

While he had been initially highly motivated in fighting the evil he perceived the Confederacy as being, through his experiences in the war his view on it had quickly begun to deteriorate. Realizing that the Republic had indeed been corrupt, and that despite the CIS being led by malicious figures such as Count Dooku of Serenno, a former Jedi Master, and was backed by shadowy institutions, the Confederacy was ultimately a movement of the people and had plenty of valid grievances to air against the Republic. Continuing his duties as a Jedi Knight and General, though without excitement and less determination, Edgar understood that he was in the command of hundreds and as such could not throw his towel in until the conflict was over.

During the tail end of the Clone Wars, Edgar, accompanied by Tylo, as well as a detachment of clones were stranded on a CIS stronghold world in the Outer Rim after a small enemy fleet engaged their transportation and forced it's passengers to crash-land on the planet. Split up into many smaller bands of clones, Edgar and his group set up a discreet base camp and begun to attempt repairs on their ship and communications. While long-range communications remained functional, the anti-aircraft batteries scattered across the planet's surface prevented immediate rescue efforts being sent in from the Republic's nearest outposts across the galaxy as well as their many fleets.

### **Order 66**

After Chancellor Palpatine was confronted by a group of Jedi Masters in his office on Coruscant, he had activated the order known as Clone Protocol 66 across the Grand Army's communications, ordering them to dispatch of their now-traitorous Jedi leaders and compatriots. Having been debriefing CT-8420 "Pri", as well as a couple of his squad leaders on how to proceed should the ship not be restored to functionality quickly enough, Edgar felt a sharp pain akin to being stabbed via the Force. His Padawan, Tylo, had been gunned down by a pair of clone troopers, while deep in meditation a short walk away from the camp. Edgar snapped into action instinctively, slamming the first clone trooper that drew a blaster on him into a nearby rock face before drawing his own lightsaber and deflecting several blaster bolts. Taken by suprise by Pri, the clone trooper had drawn a concealed vibroknife and nearly taken Edgar's right eye out. Having little time to process what had just happened, Edgar continued to act on instinct, fighting the clone troopers he had been debriefing moments prior. Some were disarmed and knocked out, others had Edgar's lightsaber cleaved through or into them, though they were all out of the fight within only mere minutes.

Rushing over to his Padawan's corpse, the emotions had finally set in for Edgar. He was engulfed by in rage, sorrow and confusion and felt the pull of the Dark Side stronger than ever before. Knowing that more clones would be on their way to the camp, he quickly gathered whatever supplies he could scrounge together on short notice as well as his Padawan's lightsaber, and left the camp. Nearly absorbed by the anger that he felt toward the clones who he had considered his friends and compatriots, Edgar managed to wall himself off from the Force entirely while seeking a way off the planet. Still filled by thoughts of regret and pain, Edgar convinced himself that despite having been on friendly relations with the clones, something had gone terribly wrong and they had betrayed his trust, thus deserving being cut down in a savage manner. As the Confederacy garrisons of droids had been deactivated, Edgar found no resistance and commandeered himself a small transport shuttle and some supplies. He hopped from world to world, trying to find out what had truly happened on that day while keeping a low profile.

### **The Dark Times**

Spending the next several years working as a mechanic for ships, droids and other pieces of technology across the Outer Rim and Wild Space to feed himself and lay low, Edgar was unsure how to proceed. He, like other Jedi, were fugitives and enemies of the new Galactic Empire that had emerged in the wake of the Republic, and felt that he could not live as a Jedi no longer. He was ashamed, and chose to ignore any sense of duty he had for the former Republic and instead live in exile. However, on one day at a trade outpost on Utapau circa 3 ABY, he witnessed as a member of the order of former Jedi fallen to the Dark Side and serving the new Emperor known as the Inquisitorious, brutally interrogated and eventually killed a group of local merchants. Feeling the walls blocking himself off from perceiving and wielding the Force open at long last in a painful rush of emotions and senses, Edgar proceeded to follow the Inquisitor into an alley and confront him with a blaster and the Force.

After a brief fight with the Inquisitor, Edgar had managed to both wound and disarm the Dark Side adherent, and was now pleading him to turn back to the Light before he was permanently consumed by the darkness. As the Inquisitor refused, and a scene of onlookers had gathered around them, Edgar took the Inquisitor's lightsaber and rushed off to find transport off the ship before he was apprehended for attacking a servant of the Empire. Continuing to travel across the edges of the galaxy in aid of fellow Jedi and other Force-sensitives, Edgar was determined to be a Jedi once again in a time where the people truly needed their guidance and protection like never before.

### **Roleplay Events**

#### **0 BBY**

##### **The Prospective Apprentice**

* On one occasion on the Hutt Clan-held world of Nar Shaddaa, Edgar came across a human youth with a clear affinity to the Force, but no evident training. Sensing his anger and fear, Edgar confronted the young man, whom introduced himself as Divish Elradi, a former slave. Explaining Divish's Force-sensitivity to him and what the Force was, Edgar further stressed that he must not to not rely on his emotions. While Edgar was intent on further training the boy on an uninhabited and uncharted Wild Space moon he had discovered for some time prior to the pair's meeting, Divish had disappeared on Tatooine. Investigating what had occurred on the desert world, Edgar discovered that Divish had fought an Imperial wielding a red lightsaber and had been carried off into the latter's transport shuttle.

##### **Stranded on Kashyyyk**

* On an another occasion and due to a suddenly broken hyper-drive, Edgar would end up on a rural and quiet part of the Mid Rim planet of Kashyyyk. Meeting a Nautolan female who was a self-proclaimed tourist in search of a local hidden Jedi temple, Edgar offered to help in recovering any possible artifacts from within, the pair were greeted by two others also in search of the temple. Discovering only an ancient stasis chamber with a humanoid figure within, the group debated who had claim over the contents of the temple. However, the four inside the temple were far from the only people in pursuit of the structure, as several others had found their way inside. Disabling the stasis chamber and allowing the person within to exit. Confronting the woman, she revealed to the group gathered inside the temple that she was a Jedi of a long bygone era. Confronting the ancient Jedi, a Hirch strong in the Dark Side soon found himself facing off the group gathered inside the temple, including Edgar. After a prolonged duel against the merry band of travelers, the Hirch was temporarily severed from using the Force by Edgar and forced to flee from the temple.

#### **0 ABY**

##### **A New Beginning**

* Having settled on an largely uncharted forested moon in the Wild Space with no history of sentient lifeforms inhabiting it some weeks earlier, Edgar's settlement was discovered by an unknown man. Briefly questioning why the stranger had come, and how he had discovered the planet, Edgar then invited the Zabrak indoors for some water. Having a prolonged discussion about the Republic, Empire and Jedi during which the Zabrak had revealed himself as Sirak Kesir, a former Jedi, Sirak invited Edgar to join him on Ryloth to form an underground covert of Jedi to begin aiding the Free Ryloth movement. After further questioning of the man's intentions, Edgar eventually agreed to join the man.

* Getting to know Sirak personally while the Zabrak prepared the covert for actions against the Empire, one day during meditation aboard his ship Edgar was hailed by Kesir. Informing Edgar that he and his apprentice had came under attack by Imperial Purge Troopers, Sirak requested that Edgar remain in orbit near Ryloth to prepare for strikes against the Empire. However, he would eventually join forces with the rest of the covert in a hidden base deep within the Bright Lands, where several other Force-sensitives as well as local Twi'lek freedom fighters had settled. Through his time on Ryloth, Edgar would rise through the ranks of the Maquis, becoming a member of it's ruling council, the Round table, and quickly become friends with Sirak.

* At the covert's hidden base in the Ryloth Bright Lands, Edgar would attempt to meditate to clear his mind of the doubts he frequently experienced. However, he would be interrupted by Grand Master Yoda, whom had appeared in front of Edgar. First startled and confused by the sage Grand Master's presence, Yoda gave prudent council to Edgar regarding the Force, the Empire and how to proceed. Having not felt as sure of his purpose since prior to the Clone Wars, Edgar's path seemed clear.

#### **0.5 ABY**

##### **Temple Adventure**

* Receiving word of a hidden Jedi Temple on the outer rim world of Koboh through underworld communication networks, Edgar arrived at a rural spaceport and was greeted by one fellow explorer, who introduced himself as Alejandro, as well as the organizer, Milo, of the expedition. Explaining the story behind the temple and how he had come to discover it, the trio departed from the cantina soon after to head toward the temple's entrance. After a brief walk where the trio discussed the temple, the Jedi as well as introduced themselves to each-other, the explorers reached the cavern that led into the hidden entrance of the forgotten temple of the Jedi. Warning the explorers that a rancor had made it's nest within the cavern, Milo departed to allow Edgar and Alejandro to begin their work. While the guide intended to utilize a rhydonium fuel explosive to kill the rancor, Edgar advised caution and quickly devised a trap for it with a clever application of two climbing hooks and a sturdy length of duracord. Leaping atop the rancor as it collapsed and slid down a small incline, Edgar utilized the Force and a few soft-spoken words to calm it down and convince it to return to it's nest without further attacking him and Alejandro.

* Moving past the rancor's nest, Edgar and Alejandro reached the entrance to the forgotten temple. The pair conversed on their way there, and Alejandro inquired whether Edgar was a Jedi, though the latter told his companion that he had simply worked at a zoo years earlier and was as such experienced with handling large animals. Greeted by an automatic hologram of a long-dead High Republic-era Jedi Master, the pair were instructed as if they were Jedi Initiates on their way to become Padawans. Required by the hologram to work together and utilize the Force to push open the doors, Edgar did the heavy lifting through the Force though Alejandro also pushed the door psychically with him. Led through the temple by the same hologram, who had the pair recite the Jedi Code and told them about what was expected of them as prospective Padawans, Edgar & Alejandro would find their way to a second test. This time requiring the duo to utilize a pair of speeder bikes and maneuver through a wind tunnel. While Alejandro had previously been a racer by his own admission, his speeder bike nearly spun out of control, which Edgar prevented via telekinesis.

* The pair finally proceeded through the rest of the temple and into the meeting chamber. After exiting the elevator, Edgar had felt a dark presence inside the chamber, and informed Alejandro to prepare for combat. The dark presence, in fact, was an Inquisitor of the Empire, named the Twentieth Brother, and wielding a yellow-bladed cross-guarded lightsaber he had evidently stolen from the temple earlier. The pair sprung to action, with Alejandro utilizing his rocket boots and blasters to distract the Inquisitor while Edgar battled him head on with his own lightsaber. A prolonged two versus one fight followed, where Edgar and the Inquisitor traded blows, both of them getting severely wounded in the progress. However, in the end, the Inquisitor would fall to Edgar after losing a foot to the Jedi and then foolishly charging him. Tending to his wounds and then to Alejandro's, the pair took a moment to recover from what had occurred before, and then collected what remained inside. Taking off in Edgar's ship after exerting himself a final time and causing the council chamber of the temple to collapse on itself, Edgar agreed to help Alejandro construct a new lightsaber for himself after purifying the Inquisitor's bled red Kyber crystal to emit a silver white blade, after the pair conversed for a while and recovered from their wounds.

* Deciding to begin training Alejandro in the usage of his newly-acquired lightsaber despite the latter having no sensitivity to the Force, Edgar spent the next several weeks teaching the man on how to wield and use a lightsaber as well as the basic sequences, training velocities and body target zones of Form I, Shii-Cho. Due to his lack of Force sensitivity, Edgar taught Alejandro that he should not even bother trying to deflect blaster bolts, and instead use the blade as a last resort for disarmament, melee fights and cutting through obstacles. He also ensured that the man understood that carrying a lightsaber would certainly attract the attention of both Imperial agents as well as scoundrels looking to make a few credits off the contraband weapon.

##### **Another Inquisitor**

* Contacted by a fellow former Jedi, Cynthia Alataros, whom Edgar had reached out to months earlier to join Sirak's covert after meeting her on Kashyyyk, the female Miraluka wished to meet with Edgar. While Edgar agreed, he decided to be cautious and host the meeting on the uncharted moon he had previously lived on, and also to bring Sirak along. Informing Sirak of the meeting, Sirak agreed and also brought along five of the Maquis' local Twi'lek warriors for additional security. Arriving on the Wild Space forest moon with Sirak and their companions, Edgar greeted Cynthia. After a lengthy conversation, however, Cynthia revealed her treachery by calling in a cohort of purge troopers and revealing herself to had fallen to the Dark Side as an Inquisitor, the respective groups begun a fight amidst a clearing Edgar's HWK-290 had landed on. While the fight was drawn out, and several of the Twi'lek warriors had perished in the end, Cynthia eventually agreed to yield after being defeated. As Sirak had contacted Alliance associates of his, the group then transported Cynthia into a Rebel black-site for trial.

##### **Loss, and a Dark Apprentice**

* Arriving at the Maquis' base on Ryloth, Edgar had found the place caved in by an aerial bombardment and in ruin. Searching the place for a moment, Edgar was then called by Alejandro suddenly and asked to assist Alejandro and some of his associates and save them from a mysterious and powerful Dark Side adept at the ruins of a temple on Dantooine. Rushing over to their aid, as there were no clues of survivors on Ryloth, wishing to distract himself, Edgar took off in his ship and jumped into hyperspace. Arriving on Dantooine shortly after, Edgar left his ship hovering by the entrance and directing Alejandro to it while Edgar would help his companions. Moving into the temple, Edgar took out a cohort of stormtroopers with the Force, and then found himself facing off against the Dark Apprentice. Noticing that the masked figure was no mere Inquisitor quickly, Edgar simply stalled while the men he came into the rescue of scurried aboard the 'Brith's Flight'. Momentarily dueling with the man before escaping aboard his ship, Edgar was given an ancient Force-imbued sword as a reward by Alejandro for saving the group. Left to ponder what had happened to the Maquis and whether there were any survivors, Edgar traveled to one of the moons of Ryloth to establish a temporary camp.

##### **Refuge**

* Taking refuge in a cavern on one of the many mountains of the third moon of Ryloth, Edgar spent some time attempting to reconnect with those members of the Maquis that had survived the covert's destruction. While Edgar was mostly undisturbed on the mountain while living there, a shuttle would land near the cavern one day. Investigating the visit, Edgar soon realized that his guest was an Inquisitor. Unsure how the adherent of the Dark Side had found him, Edgar got the Inquisitor to attack him after exchanging a few words with the female human. Fighting her briefly before telekinetically throwing her off the mountain and setting off an improvised explosive device below the Inquisitor's shuttle, Edgar then fled off the world. Choosing to be more careful in how he traveled the galaxy, as this was the third Inquisitor Edgar had fought in the last few months, while also attempting to reconnect with members of the Maquis.

##### **Prudent Counsel**

* Hailing Alejandro to inquire on how the man was doing, Edgar agreed to meet the man in a Nar Shaddaa apartment complex. Discussing a group of Force-sensitives that Alejandro had gathered, Edgar expressed his belief that Alejandro was qualified to lead such a band, and that grouping up would only prolong the Empire finding and destroying them. Then joined by several members of this group, including Divish Elradi, who Edgar had met nearly a year earlier and had intended on training, until the youth disappeared on Tatooine. Discovering that he had briefly become an Inquisitor, Edgar then proceeded to cleanse his lightsaber's Kyber crystal before departing from the planet.

##### **Favor for a Mutual Friend**

* Contacted by Alejandro some days later, Edgar was informed of a young Zeltron Jedi fighting for the Alliance named Ra'na Aershi, who was looking for a Kyber crystal. Agreeing to meet Ra'na on Kashyyyk, as Edgar was in possession of several spare Kyber crystals, the pair met there and Edgar cleansed one of Cynthia's former crystals. Exchanging a few words and handing it over, Edgar wished good luck to the young Jedi and left on his ship.

##### **Discovery**

* On Nar Shaddaa to find a new home for himself, Edgar had found himself inside the cantina for a meal and perhaps even some drinks. While inside the cantina, Edgar would discover a familiar presence in the form of a human former Jedi Padawan, Rash Hi'ĵet, whom had been a friend of his own Padawan, Tylo Rumarch. Observing the younger man before he was attacked by two intoxicated Nautolans, Edgar then stepped in and helped the young man drive off his opponents. Speaking with the man for a while, Edgar became certain that Rash was in fact the Padawan that his own Rodian apprentice had once been close with. Offering him a ride off-world to Hosnian Prime, as he had no ship of his own and because the Nautolans were likely to retaliate for being humiliated by Rash, the pair took off in Edgar's ship. Discovering that while Rash somewhat recalled both Tylo and himself, but that he was somewhat amnesiac, as he could not, or chose not to, recall portions of life as a Jedi. Witnessing the man's clear affinity to the Force, though unfocused due to voluntarily cutting off his connection to the Force akin to what Edgar himself had done, Edgar convinced Rash to join him as his apprentice.

#### **1 ABY**

##### **Training and an Escape**

* Spending the next several weeks on the agricultural world of Dalna in the Outer Rim, Edgar would begin Rash's training as his Padawan learner and apprentice. Focusing on first rebuilding his connection to the Force through meditation and other exercises, Edgar then begun to focus on reteaching basic applications and abilities of the Force to his apprentice. The pair spent much time discussing the Force, the Empire and the state of the galaxy, and quickly begun to develop a close bond. However, their residence on the planet would be compromised, after a fight between Corporate Security Authority agents, Edgar, Rash and several locals broke out. Leaving hastily, the pair were left wondering what their next step was while Edgar continued to train Rash in the ways of the Jedi. However, prior to their departure, Edgar was confronted by a Mandalorian female, whom inquired to know whether Edgar was familiar with a former Jedi Master, Rhellec Raam. While in truth perfectly well-aware of who Raam was, as he had been a fellow member of the Maquis, the present circumstances and a lack of trust in the lady led Edgar to lie and depart with Rash. However, the Mandalorian had discreetly installed a tracker beacon onto his ship.

#### **2 ABY**

##### **An Unfortunate Encounter**

* While passing through Nar Shaddaa, as many times before, Edgar would encounter a familiar Force-sensitive female, a former Inquisitor and current fugitive whom had reached out with the Force and sought advice and aid from Edgar previously. While Edgar had been hesitant to aid her, he had offered her the chance of being possibly severed from the Force entirely and living a life outside the reach of the Empire. She had refused. By what could have just easily been misfortune as the Force subtly guiding the paths of it's wielders, she had bumped into a former colleague of hers. An active Inquisitor. Edgar departed from the cantina the trio had shared, observing as the former Inquisitor made short work of the current one, subtly aiding her by utilizing a mind trick to persuade the crowd that had gathered to not interfere on the side of either combatant. Afterwards and with the help of a pair of Mandalorian onlookers, one of whom he had previously evaded on Dalna, Edgar would take the disarmed and defeated Inquisitor captive to either convince him to return to the light side, or be taken to the Rebel Alliance for trial and a bounty.
* Wishing to understand the Inquisitor better, Edgar would peacefully question the man in the cargo hold of the ship. Learning not only of the wide-spread brainwashing and programming that Inquisitors faced from their masters from the Inquisitor, previously known as Jace Git, but also that the Empire had not only recruited former Jedi but also other untrained Force-sensitives for their goals. Edgar was taken aback by this knowledge, though also made some progress with the Inquisitor, learning his life story and name and managing to convince him that the Jedi were not the murderers that the Inquisitor thought that they had been. After some further time spent advising the former Inquisitor, Edgar would release him with some credits and supplies alongside a ride to any planet he wished to go to.

##### **The Star-Splitter**

* Temporarily on the Core Worlds planet of Corellia, Edgar would decide to impulsively attend the maiden voyage of the 'Star-Splitter', an experimental luxury yacht with plenty of wealthy individuals in attendance. Wishing to not only relax, but to also possibly gain some intelligence that'd allow him to begin operations against the Empire again, Edgar utilized a mind trick to fool a guard to grant him entry and entered. Mingling among the other travelers, Edgar also encountered a fellow undercover Jedi he had met previously. However, after the ship took off from Corellia, it's hyperdrive would suddenly malfunction and throw the ship deep within the Unknown Regions in the Rakata system and crash land on one of the system's stranded planets. Spending several days on the planet while repairing the ship's communication, Edgar would note a significant Dark Side vergence on the planet and encounter local wildlife. Suddenly attacked mentally with a sensation of sharp pain by the Force vergence, Edgar utilized a combination of Force resistance and Meditation of Emptiness to counter the effects of the Dark Side. Eventually rescued by Imperials, Edgar would slip away from their grasp before being identified and head back to Corellia.

## **Personality**

While Edgar was a reckless youth as a Jedi Initiate, he had matured into a more careful and thoughtful man since then. Time and time again, he had displayed great intelligence, resourcefulness as well as perseverance. To those that were not familiar with Edgar, he may seem distant and hard to approach. However, the opposite was true of Edgar, and he's been always known as a compassionate, trustworthy and reliable apprentice, teacher and friend alike by those who had gotten to truly know him personally. Edgar was often content to simply observe others in conversation, only pitching in when he had something to genuinely contribute to the discussion with.

While the destruction of the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic had drastically altered Edgar's worldview, he was hopeful for a better tomorrow and trusts in the Force to guide him to a better path. A second byproduct of the rise of the Empire, Edgar had been increasingly clouded by doubt and regret. While he mitigates these feelings with intense daily meditation, he was previously unable to completely rid himself of them for prolonged periods of time. After seeking council with Grand Master Yoda, who appeared to Edgar one day via the Force, Edgar had become more determined to follow the would of the Force and allow it to guide him, shedding his mind of doubt.

Through his travels after reconnecting with the Force, Edgar had fought various opponents. While he had also honed his skills of combat greatly, he had also grown somewhat hesitant to enter combat due to being concerned by the possibility of relying on emotions such as hatred and fear and thus becoming ensnared in the Dark Side.

## **Psychical Description**

Edgar was of a generally above average stature for a human male of his age with a slim yet muscular build. He was in a fit psychical condition, with an especially high endurance and dexterity compared to a baseline human, but also above-average levels of psychical strength and raw agility. Edgar maintained a strict psychical and mental training routine at the Jedi Temple, and had kept himself in a fit condition the Dark Times. After resuming his duties as a Jedi Knight, Edgar also resumed his psychical routine, and as of 0.5 ABY remains in a formidable psychical condition through psychical exercises as well as Force-based regimens & cadences, as well as lightsaber sparring.

While his hair was originally black, stress and genetics had caused Edgar's hair to begin graying. His hair was short length, and often less than tidy. He maintains a well-kept short goatee, though keeps his facial hair otherwise shaved. Edgar had harsh facial features, displaying the years and stress he had gone through on his face. He had light brown eyes, which were warm and pleasant despite his otherwise hard look. Edgar's skin was lightly tanned, though he as a human male had generally paler skin than most other species. Edgar had a deep scar running down the right side of his face, from the side of his eye to his jaw - caused by a clone's vibroknife during Order 66.

Edgar largely psychically resembles and sounds like the actor Jeremy Irons, especially his character, Tiberias (2) from the 2005 movie Kingdom of Heaven. Though usually soft-spoken with a notable amount of rasp in his voice, he could conjure a commanding tone when required.

Edgar had always been notably attuned to the Force and as such was highly skilled in perceiving and wielding it, having spent his entire life until the age of thirty learning at the Jedi Temple. He was proficient in all three applications of the Force as defined by the Jedi Order: Control, Sense & Alter, and was capable of the many abilities required of a Jedi to pass the Trials of Knighthood, as well as many other abilities beyond that. The powers and abilities he practices had been honed through years of study at the Jedi Temple, as well as warfare in the Clone Wars, and Edgar had begun to practice and study the Force again after opening himself to the Force during the Dark Times.

Edgar possesses multiple notable abilities, which were categorized between Novice, Intermediate, Proficient, Advanced, and Master:

**Telekinesis [Move Object/Push/Pull/Grip/Burst/Disarm/Wave/Throw/Barrier]: Master**

* Edgar was extremely skilled in telekinesis due to a combination of natural affinity to it and perfecting it through countless exercises and lessons, and as such his telekinetic abilities were advanced to the point where Edgar could carefully manipulate and move essentially any object or being within a reasonable range with ease, even without psychically seeing them, though the range and control of an object/being was weakened. He could also weaponize objects by accelerating them, deflect similar attacks, shield himself and others with objects as well as walls of telekinetic energy, easily disarm combatants, repulse them away from himself in a wide arc or in a smaller and more concentrated blast of telekinetic energy.

**Enhance Attribute [Force Speed/Force Jump/Magnify Senses]: Advanced**

* Edgar was capable of enhancing various psychical capabilities of his by tapping into the Force and allowing it to flow through him, which he had used to great effect during the Clone Wars. Having honed this ability through practice and meditation, Edgar was capable of enhance multiple capabilities at one time instead of only focusing on one aspect. Some of the psychical capabilities he was capable of enhancing were his psychical strength, stamina, movement and reaction speed as well as the height of his jumps. He was also capable of heightening his senses of hearing, seeing and smell beyond the capabilities of baseline humans.

**Force Resistance: Advanced**

* Having fought several Dark Side adepts, including Inquisitors, over the years, Edgar had developed an understanding of an ability that allows him to resist both the psychical and mental attacks of those wielding the Force against him. While the most basic applications of the ability were taught to all Jedi, Edgar had developed an advanced form of it. Having utilized this ability in combination with a meditative exercise to counter the effects of a powerful Dark Side vergence, Edgar's ability to resist Force attacks, had grown. Now capable of generating an aura that allows him to resist many Force-based attacks, most significantly those utilizing feelings of fear, pain and confusion against his mind, Edgar is still not entirely immune to hostile usage of the Force.

**Tutaminis: Proficient**

* While Edgar possessed a basic understanding of the most common applications of tutaminis as a Jedi Knight, his proficiency of the ability had increased over the years. Having fought several foes whom utilized Force Lightning against him, Edgar had learnt the ability dissipate the energy projected toward him in attack. However, he was unable to redirect the energy into his own attacks, and was not capable of protecting himself from blaster bolts or lightsaber blades with the ability. However, Edgar had gained a resistance to stun rounds, becoming only slightly dazed by them instead of being incapacitated by them when hit.

**Mind Trick [Force Persuasion]: Proficient**

* Edgar was capable of persuading and fooling others to do his bidding, and often used this ability to avoid confrontations or combat with Imperial authorities. However, some individuals, either due to their biology or specialized training of the mind, were resistant to his mind tricks.

**Force Sense: Proficient**

* Edgar was skilled in Force Sense due to his strong connection to the Living Force, being capable of sensing ripples in the Force that indicate immediate harm to himself or those close to him, which he most commonly utilized to survive in combat. As a result of this, Edgar was capable of predicting the actions of his opponents moments before they occur with the help of subtle premonitions. He could also sense the deaths of those he had formed Force bonds with, including masters and apprentices, which manifested in a sharp but brief bout of chest pain, as well as large groups of people such as on Alderaan or the First Death Star.

**Life Detection: Proficient**

* Edgar could detect the presence of beings around him via their auras in the Force, identify them and their intentions based on those same auras and finally sense when a Force-wielder was actively focused on him with the Force. This ability was active even without specifically calling upon the Force, essentially granting him a sort of passive radar with a radius of roughly ten meters, though it could be expanded by reaching out to the Force.

**Meditation [Meditation of Emptiness, Healing Meditation]: Proficient**

* While not exactly a regular Force ability, Edgar was capable of accelerating his body's healing process, clearing his mind of fatigue and negative thoughts by opening himself to the Force. Edgar additionally practices a form of meditation that also often manifests in him dismantling and reconstructing his lightsaber telekinetically for the greatest concentration. Notably, Edgar used Healing Meditation to allow his arm to recover quicker from a lightsaber slash that nearly took his entire arm off, following a duel with an Inquisitor. However, he was not capable of active applications of Force Healing, and as such relied on situational applications of stims and bacta to treat himself while on the battlefield. Additionally, he utilized Meditation of Emptiness to counter the negative effects of a strong Dark Side vergence in the Rakata system.
* Edgar was capable of projecting glistering blue bubbles that protect their target from a wide range of attacks and harm, including but not limited to blaster bolts, explosions and their shrapnel, poisonous gases as well as lightsaber strikes. This ability requires great focus from Edgar, and so Edgar's movements were slowed down when using a Protection Bubble. He could also project the bubble onto other sentient beings. He last used it during his fight with the Dark Apprentice, casting bubbles around the explorers to allow them to escape to his ship without further harm.

**Cleanse: Proficient**

* Edgar had learned to ability to cleanse objects of the stain of the Dark Side through meditation, having first used the ability to purify an Inquisitor's Kyber crystal of the negative emotions used to bleed it and causing it to shift in color to a silver white via intense concentration on the crystal. However, if an object was immensely clouded by the Dark Side, Edgar would likely have to meditate on the object for a prolonged period of time to cleanse it. Since first practicing this ability, Edgar had cleansed two other bled Kyber crystals, honing this ability.

**Control Pain: Proficient**\*Edgar was capable of enhancing his pain tolerance and dissipating the pain that he felt via the Force. However, he was not completely capable of ignoring sensations of pain, though this ability greatly assisted him in enduring during combat when wounded. Additionally, the wounds he sustained still required the same amount of medical attention as they would without Edgar using this ability, and were not healed by it. Edgar utilized this ability to dissipate the pain he felt as a result of a powerful Dark Side vergence in the Rakata system, increasing his prowess of it.
**Electric Judgment: Proficient**

* After obtaining a High Republic-era Jedi holocron, Edgar had begun to practice the ability of casting bolts of orange lightning out of his fingertips by channeling the Force. He notably used it against the Inquisitor known as Cynthia, stunning her and causing her to drop her guard. While initially able to only cast a single bolt briefly and in a short radius, Edgar's ability to use Electric Judgment had advanced through study, increasing the range, accuracy and potency of the bolts he conjured from his fingertips, though he still chose to only utilize singular bolts of lightning. When hit with a bolt of lightning from Edgar, the target will be disoriented and hit with a bout of neuromuscular incapacitation, and possibly even lose consciousness entirely.

**Telepathy [Force Empathy]: Intermediate**

* Edgar's proficiency of telepathic abilities were always note-worthily weak, and as such he could only gauge the general emotional states of those that weren't actively shielding their thoughts via the Force, as well as subtly nudge others with feelings to warn or otherwise notify them. Similarly, Edgar was unable to properly guard his emotions from intrusion.

**Sever Force: Novice**

* Having first learned the ability following the execution Order 66, when in a sudden moment of clarity Edgar sealed himself off from using the Force as a desperate measure to prevent his fall to the Dark Side, Edgar had learned to direct this ability toward other Force-wielders who were absorbed by darkness intuitively. It was very limited and situational, however, and requires several conditions to be met to be successful: The target had to be psychically immobilized and focused on something else, Edgar must remain solely focused on the target, and successful usage of the ability was severely exhausting both mentally and physically to Edgar. So far, Edgar's usage of the ability had not resulted in a dark-side adept's connection to the Force being permanently severed, and as such this ability only temporarily disrupts it.

### **Lightsaber Abilities**

Often having chosen to focus on his studies over practicing lightsaber dueling, Edgar still enjoyed the occasional saber duel, and was known as an skilled combatant by many of his contemporaries. Studying the basics of lightsaber combat as an Initiate via the first form of lightsaber dueling, Shii-Cho, Edgar then chose to begin studying the sixth form, Niman. After being raised to the rank of Jedi Knight, Edgar chose to further hone his skills with a lightsaber, and as such studied the fifth form, Djem So, as well as further improved his understanding of Soresu and Niman.

By the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Edgar was a skilled combatant. His style was fighting was neither too passive nor overly aggressive, frequently relying on counterattacks, usage of the Force, narrow dodges as well as tiring out his opponent while also being willing to utilise power strikes. His blade-work was efficient, fluid and quick, though not all that precise compared to that of masters of forms like Makashi. While not particularly acrobatic, Edgar incorporates the occasional kick or punch into his fighting style to knock his foes off balance, as well as Force-augmented dashes and even brief leaps for closing the distance between himself and his enemies and seeking better positioning.

As his master was a frequent practitioner of wielding dual lightsabers, he chose to train all of his apprentices in being able to wield two lightsabers. As a result of this, as well as having studied Niman, which had a traditional dual-blade component, Edgar had an intermediate understanding of the Jar'Kai method of dual-wielding lightsabers in combat. While originally relying largely on the textbook move-sets of the forms that he had studied and thus being highly predictable on the battlefield, over the years Edgar had learned to become more fluid in his fighting, combining aspects of all the forms that Edgar had a knowledge of and improvising against his foes. Often first probing the defenses of his opponent with basic attacks, Edgar will then shift his movements and strategy according to his opponent's response in a fluid manner while employing the various techniques he had studied over the years.

Edgar's proficiency in the seven traditional forms of lightsaber format were graded between Novice, Intermediate, Proficient, Advanced, and Master:

* **Form I, Shii-Cho: Proficient**
	+ Edgar was competent at the first form of lightsaber combat, and Shii-Cho remained as a possible back-up form for Edgar when nothing else was working against a foe. Edgar often found himself falling back to the fluid bladework of Shii-Cho against his opponents, as it was a major component of Niman.
* **Form II, Makashi: None**
	+ Edgar did not delve into the study of Makashi.
* **Form III, Soresu: Proficient**
	+ Edgar chose to first study Soresu as a Padawan, as it seemed like the most logical choice for a Jedi with his interests and lack of time to specialize in some of the more demanding forms. While he was far from a master of the form, Edgar could put up a reliable defense by the time of the Clone Wars, and was saved multiple times from barrages of blaster bolts by the form. Since then, his proficiency of the form had grown further and he can defend himself from both blasters and lightsabers deftly, even if the enemy outnumbers hum.
* **Form IV, Ataru: None**
	+ Edgar did not delve into the study of Ataru, though aspects of it were utilised by Niman.
* **Form V, Shien: None**
	+ Edgar did not delve into the study of Shien, though aspects of it were utilised by Niman.
* **Form V, Djem So: Intermediate**
	+ Picking up aspects of Djem So as a Jedi Knight to augment his knowledge of Niman, Edgar never in truth specialized in Djem So, though he saw the usefulness of an aggressive combat style. However, he had begun calling upon his studies of Djem So heavily during the Galactic Civil War, and as such his expertise over the basic techniques of the form had grown.
* **Form VI, Niman: Advanced**
	+ Edgar chose Niman as his main form of lightsaber combat as a Padawan, and studied it to the point of proficiency. However, after a number of sparring duels with both his master as well as his contemporaries, Edgar grew to understand that Niman alone was not sufficient to defend himself from a competent foe, and as such he begun to first hone his knowledge of Niman, and then to study aspects of both Soresu and Djem So to augment his use of Niman. Forced to adapt for large groups of enemies, Edgar drew heavily on Soresu to survive through the Clone Wars and during Order 66. After reconnecting with the Force, Edgar begun to further adjust his utilization of Niman with aspects of Djem So and Shii-Cho, as well as improvised moves for more efficient and fluid offensive blade-work, through both sparring and also fighting in a number of real-world duels against Inquisitors and other Dark Side adherents.

### **Other Abilities**

* Edgar, due to in part both his natural interest and devotion to technology as a field of study and working as one for years after Order 66, was masterful mechanic of ships, droids as well as other forms of technology.
* Edgar was a decent pilot, primarily experienced in flying light transport craft, though he also had some experience with flying Jedi interceptors.
* Edgar was skilled in the art of demolitions and explosives, including construction of improvised explosives as well as defusing them.
* Edgar was sufficiently accurate with blasters, though was by no means a gunslinger and preferred the Force and his lightsabers to blasters.
* Edgar spoke, wrote & read fluent Galactic Basic and High Galactic. He also read & spoke passable Huttese and Bocce, and also understood spoken Binary.
* Edgar was capable of holding his own in hand-to-hand combat, having taken a brief course for it under Jedi Master Ilena 'the Iron Hand' Xan as a Padawan at the Temple.

## **Equipment**

### **Lightsaber**

* Edgar wielded a standard length single-bladed lightsaber, which emitted a yellow blade when ignited. It was focused by a Mephite crystal of the Adegan family of crystals, which was bonded to Edgar and infused with a minuscule portion of his Force energy. The crystal could be sensed by those capable of perceiving the Force, and was generally very reliable.
	+ It's hilt was generally of utilitarian design and had few aesthetic additions. It was composed mostly of durasteel and plastoid, ensuring a sturdy and reliable design. The hilt's hand-grip was specifically tailored for to allow for a firm grip and ease of handling.
* Since 0.5 ABY, Edgar had also begun wielding a second lightsaber:
	+ The lightsaber was his fallen former Padawan Tylo Rumarch's, having collected it from the Rodian's corpse after Order 66 had been executed. It, like his own, was a standard single-bladed lightsaber, though it initially emitted a deep blue blade when ignited. It was focused by a Mephite crystal akin to Edgar's own.
	+ After a period of using it, the crystal had bonded with Edgar and shifted colors to match his own saber's yellow. He had also modified the saber into a shorter shoto saber, as wielding two regular-length blades at once could prove disadvantageous. However, the hilt of the saber remained largely the same as it was when constructed by his Padawan otherwise.

### **Ship**

* Edgar operated a previously used but modified HWK-290 light freighter ship, which he had nicknamed "Brith's Flight" after a bird native to his home-world of Dantooine.
	+ Though rag-tag and worn in appearance, it had been modified with various enhancements and upgrades over the years since Edgar obtained it:
		- A backup battery unit, allowing for operation of critical ship functions even if the main power generator was disabled.
		- Maneuvering jets, granting more control during extreme maneuvers as well as a miniscule general speed boost.
		- Remote control capabilities, granting access to various ship features including it's engines to prepare for a quick departure. The controller was embedded into Edgar's armor.
		- An anti-intruder system, preventing power from being allocated to the engines, communications system and navigation computer and releasing a knock-out gas into it's compartments when triggered via a password.
		- A hidden neuranium-coated compartment in the cabin, hidden from most sensors and capable of protecting whatever was kept inside even through a crash.
		- Makeshift countermeasures against both proton torpedoes and tractor beams, in the form of a chaff projector and a fletchette launcher.

### **Blaster**

* Edgar often carried a Clone Wars-era DC-17 blaster pistol for situations where usage of either a lightsaber or the Force would lead to unwanted attention.
	+ Edgar preferred the DC-17 due to it's compact nature, high stopping power and low recoil. He's also familiar with the pistol due to it's heavy usage in the Clone Wars by clone troopers.

### **Armor**

* By 0 ABY, Edgar had obtained a set of reinforced Duraplast battle armor, based on designs of Great Galactic War-era Jedi combatants, as well as his personal experiences from the Clone Wars. Focusing on mobility while also protecting the most critical parts of his body, it covers far from all of Edgar's body. However, the plating provides ample protection from blaster bolts, slugs, shrapnel and other forms of kinetic damage. The armor was a silver white in color, and somewhat worn in appearance due to being repurposed by Edgar from other pieces of armor.
	+ He purchased the armor with credits obtained from selling an dual-bladed lightsaber he had obtained from a disarmed Inquisitor on Utapau years earlier on the black market.
	+ Consisting of a chest & back plate, pauldrons, couters, a codpiece, cuisses, poleyns, greaves and partial sabatons, the armor also includes a pair of reinforced shock-absorbing boots and an Jedi utility belt.
		- In the utility belt, Edgar carried a lightweight medpac containing basic emergency medical supplies including bacta and stim ampules, as well as a holster for his DC-17 hand blaster, a spare power pack for the DC-17 and a set of compact universal repair equipment.
	+ Edgar had also obtained a pair of Ultrachrome vambraces, which he wore alongside the Duraplast battle armor, and had painted a silver white to match the Duraplast of the rest of his armor. These vambraces extended from the wrist to right below the elbow, and also incorporated separate knuckle plates attached to the body-glove to protect the back of Edgar's hands.
		- Due to the high likelihood of having to face Inquisitors in the future, he purchased the vambraces due to their capability to redirect and even entirely halt lightsaber strikes for brief moments. However, they were not entirely invincible to lightsabers, and sustained contact with one's blade would cause the ultrachrome to begin melting.
		- Edgar had also integrated an Jedi-issue Hush-98 comlink into the right vambrace, as well as a controller for remotely accessing and utilizing the various features and capabilities of his HWK-290 into the left.
	+ Over the armor, Edgar wore a hooded dark brown lightweight wool cloak. Underneath it, he wore a flexible armorweave body-glove.
