Lyn-Char Beorht

Age: 33

Species: Zeltron

Rank: Jedi Knight, self-titled

Lyn's past is a study in tragedy and indecision. He was born to a family of unconventional Jedi and raised, with his younger sister La-Reia, by his grandfather, Jedi Master Orihah Beorht. They lived for several years in the underbelly of Coruscant, until an Inquisitor tracked them down and killed Master Beorht. Lyn, protecting his sister, struck the Inquisitor down with his grandfather's lightsabre.

The twelve-year-old Lyn attempted to keep the family together, and succeeded for several years. Unfortunately, Reia, trying to find her own path, took the Inquisitor's lightsabre and left. For years she followed the Dark Side, and always Lyn followed, trying to protect her, looking for a way to bring her back. At one point he continued his training on Daltera - only to discover, through a vision of the Force, that Reia had joined a sizeable group of Darksiders strong in the Force. He promptly left Daltera in the company of fellow Apprentice Certh Kolwin, navigating by instinct. Lyn's profound abilities in the sensing of others, and especially his sister, led them to the Anari Alliance and near collision with a sensor-stealthed space station: the Twilight Praxeum.

The Detori
Their ship crippled upon entry to a docking bay, Lyn and Certh disembarked, only to be greeted by a horrible illusion: Reia, running towards them, killed by a Darksider. Nobody, not even Lyn, is sure what he was thinking, but when it was revealed that his sister had orchestrated the illusion in concert with a comrade, he turned to the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Darksiders of the Twilight Praxeum: the Detori. Though he went through at least one ineffectual Master, he finally settled on the tutelage of the Dark Master Quinis Asanis, leader of the Detori and the Anari Alliance. Reia was his fellow student. At last he was with his sister again - but the cost and compromise began to undo him. He couldn't live with it.

When Asanis began a huge recruitment drive and the construction of a small alchemical base on Sabii, Lyn was sent out to find Force-sensitive pupils on the AA's worlds. More tragedy ensued. Though he found two candidates, both died, and Lyn killed an entire gang in retribution. He went off the deep end, and tried to go off the map. Asanis sent the Falleen agent Terjon - Lyn's erstwhile sparring partner, rival and superior in the Dark Side - to kill him. When Lyn fled to Coruscant to plead clemency from the Jedi Council, Terjon was there. Lyn only barely escaped, his goal unrealized, and in desperation went to the one place Terjon would not follow him -

The Sith Empire.

Wandering
After months of asylum, Lyn emerged from the SE as a self-proclaimed Sith Knight. He blended quietly into the underworld. Lured by immense payoffs, he worked secretly for NRI in a failed attempt to provoke hostilities between the SE and the Imperial Remnant. Though the hoped-for war did not erupt, he was nevertheless paid, and handsomely. He set out to try again with NRI permission, hunting down for aid a young Detori-turned Jedi Knight named Moroiniy Traverts, of a group called the Paladins. Traverts and Lyn set out for Bilbringi.

En route, something happened that has not been fully explained. Traverts died, and Lyn woke up in a cave on a world of the Outer Rim with a lightwhip and severe amnesia. He blundered his way into a spaceport and onto a seemingly innocuous freighter that turned out to have ties to a pirate group. Captured by the quick-thinking pirates, the amnesiac Dark Jedi was later informed of his 'real' identity: the captain of a small pirate corvette. He performed several operations with them, getting the hang of capship combat over a month or two. When the pirates went up against a planetary government, Lyn was sent in to assassinate the government's Force-using backup. The backup turned out to be an old comrade from the Detori, whose presence was just the key needed to reboot Lyn's memory. Unexpected remorse sent the Dark Jedi running once more.

Coruscant
He didn't consider himself a Jedi anymore, nor did he want to follow the Dark Side. Somehow or other, a confused and frightened Lyn found himself applying for a position as a professor of philosophy at the University of Coruscant. Over some time, Professor Beorht put his life back together, and became something like a Jedi again.

Then Damascus happened. Damascus, and the Death Star. Lyn evacuated. He went to Sabii.
