Jerik Blackthorne

"He doesn't speak much, does he?" "He's much like our father used to be."

- Cazzik Wyn and Guan

Jerik is one of two sons to Cadden Blackthorne. He and Guan were birthed from cloning cylinders, just like their half-brothers Caius and Xanic. Like their half-brothers, they themselves are not clones of either Cadden, their father, or their mother, Renalla. Rather, they were test-tube birthed. Due to unknown circumstances, their aging was, as a result, accelerated until puberty, after which the process stabilized to normal levels. The reasons for this are, to-date, unknown, and perhaps deliberate.

Jerik is the more powerful of the two Blackthornes. Though not as clear-minded as his brother, Guan, he is still concise and adept at making tactical decisions that often lead to victory. He inherited his father's genes as a warrior, and only speaks when spoken to, or if he has something important to say.

Having claimed their mother's yellow lightsaber, Jerik uses it more as a tool to enhance his combat powress than as a weapon to rely on. Jerik has practiced relentlessly in melee combat, focusing on his lightsaber, and holds a high chance of besting others of his class in a duel. Likewise, he also employs the Force as an enhancement to his other physical abilities, and seldom uses it as his weapon, or as a tool for means of getting things done. This makes Jerik a deadly lightsaber duelist, and a good ally to have on one's side.
