**Maxon Dalgas** is a Jedi Knight within the New Jedi Order, one who follows the path of a Sentinel and is currently serving as a member of the Jedi Shadow Watch. The hybrid son of deceased Jedi Knight Darex Tolreyn the Elder and the Zabrak Sardeya Dalgas, Maxon was born on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk in 8 BBY, at the height of Imperial power and occupation. His mother had claimed a Life debt she was owed by a member of the Palsaang clan, and thus had found a rare refuge among the Wookiees to have and raise her infant son.

That refuge did not last long. Wookiees were highly valued by the Galactic Empire as slaves due to their raw strength and dexterity, and Palsaang was one of the wroshyr tree-cities to be raided multiple times by hunters, working for the Empire. It was in one of these raids, just preceding the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, that Maxon would find himself separated from his mother in the commotion and taken by the bounty hunters offworld.

Seeing as the Empire had no use for non-Wookiee slaves from Kashyyyk, Maxon was instead trafficked through Nal Hutta by his kidnappers. Sold to Marlo the Hutt, one of the leaders of the Grand Hutt Council, Maxon was an asset moved from Nal Hutta to Zygerria, serving under one of Marlo's administrators who oversaw the Hutt's investment in the burgeoning Zygerrian slave market.

As Maxon aged and matured, so did his roles in servitude. He went from simple cupbearer to errand boy to, eventually, one of Marlo the Hutt's bodyguards by the time he was fifteen, trusted to carry weaponry in the presence of the Kajidii. Now earning a modest stipend for his work as opposed to simply working because it was the will of his masters, Maxon was manumitted by Marlo after Maxon saved his life by thwarting an assassination attempt orchestrated by the infamous bounty hunter and Jedi killer Cad Bane. The encounter and subsequent fight with Bane left Maxon with some doubts, having used a latent power he'd never experienced before in his defense of his master. Now with his freedom and the respect of the Hutt Cartel, Maxon was free to roam the galaxy; far better off than his former peers, who still toiled for the pleasure of the Hutts.

Still, despite his good standing, that experience left him with a deep-rooted abhorrence for the system of slavery in the Outer Rim. Making his way to Nar Shaddaa, Maxon found employment with a smuggler crew thanks to his background of working with the Hutts, and began to operate out of the infamous moon for a time. The time didn't last long, though, for Maxon was sought out by Jedi Seeker Kelleran Beq in 18 ABY and was subsequently informed of his Force-sensitivity. The idea of having a Jedi on their crew scared his smuggler cohorts away, and Maxon was left with no choice but to go with Beq to Yavin IV, to meet Grandmaster Leia Organa Solo and to understand his destiny.

Once there, Maxon was apprenticed to Jedi Diplomatic Core member Korto Vos and began training with obvious reluctance. He struggled with grasping the fundamentals of almost every aspect of the Jedi Order, though he did learn through Jedi Master Renegin of his parentage and relation to the Toldreyn Family. Maxon was remarkably ambivalent on the news, however, and never did reach out to his uncle, Korvan Toldreyn, and his numerous cousins.

After completing his stint with Korto as a diplomatic advisor in the Core Worlds, Maxon was able to graduate into Jedi Knighthood as a Sentinel, and, eventually, a Jedi Shadow. He was recruited by Korto's father Quinlan Vos to his Jedi Shadow Watch, having observed the mismatched desires of Maxon to be an active diplomat like his son and believed that he could instead be more useful as a covert operative. Maxon did indeed begin to excel now as a Shadow Watcher, making frequent trips to Dark side nexuses to collect information and artifacts for cataloging and eventual destruction.

Presently back on Yavin IV, Maxon is believed to be scouting out his first Padawan Learner.
