Background: Xan-Rhu-Tor was born on the Mandalorian ship, War Storm, but he was never able to learn much about why or how his parents left Tiss’sharl. The most his parents ever divulged was that they left the homeworld willingly with the first of the Mandalorian scouts that arrived, though they never gave their motivations for leaving. Once they had a child, however, they decided to leave the Mandalorians to settle down as a family.
Very early in Xan’s life, it was discovered that he was force sensitive and a strong candidate for Jedi training. His parents debated for some time on what to do, but eventually decided that Jedi training would be best for their youngling. The family moved to the serene planet of Ossus and gave Xan to the Jedi
Academy there. Due to the fact that the Tiss’shar were not known to the galaxy at large, his parents played a larger role in his early life than was usual for younglings, as they needed to make sure his developmental needs were taken care of. Once he was old enough and they had imparted all of the necessary knowledge onto the Jedi, however, Xan never saw nor spoke to his parents again.
From the beginning, Xan was considered a promising initiate. His desire to learn coupled with his deep connection to the force made him a natural in his training. He willingly learned about most subjects presented to him, and though he expressed higher than normal interest in the ways of combat than most other initiates, his instructors saw great potential within him.
As Xan continued through his training, his attention became more focused on lightsaber combat, which he tended to find more enjoyable than most other subjects. His practice with the force started to consist mainly of abilities that augmented his body and movements. He became adept with allowing the force to flow freely through him during meditation, and over time, in combat.
Once he came of age and proved his abilities, Xan was selected to be the Padawan of Jedi Knight Volisk Trenorin, a Shistavanen Jedi Knight. Xan learned everything he could from his master and grew his connection to the force considerably. Since his master was not specialized in lightsaber combat, Xan looked to the other masters of Ossus, as well as the great library of information stored there for further instruction. He took it upon himself to learn the various styles and strategies of lightsaber combat, which, combined with his instruction in the force from his master Volisk, turned him into a formidable close range combatant specializing in the agile, flowing form of Ataru. He learned how to easily and efficiently allow the force to flow through his movements and aid him in nearly every aspect of melee combat, strengthening both his body and his mind. His intense physical training has made him exceptionally strong, even without the use of the force.
By time Xan had passed his trials and become a full Jedi Knight, he and his master had become close friends, so they naturally worked together in their assignments across the galaxy. After becoming a Knight, Xan training naturally brought him into the specialization of Jedi Guardian, which complemented well Volisk’s force based style. Not long after becoming a Knight, he accepted his first Padawan, Luthor, then took on another named Omwot a few years later. Most recently, they were among the Jedi assigned to the planet Onderon to help keep order after the end of the Beast wars. For Xan, however, this otherwise calm and peaceful assignment would turn into a nightmare when his closest friend succumbed to the influence of dark forces that would have been best to keep buried.
