Skills:

Alat has worked much of his life to overcome the Kel Dor’s weaker constitution and is in excellent physical condition for his race. While it is not on par with many of the more physical races, his fast reflexes and swift perception serve him well when he is engaged in saber combat.

Alat wields an unusual combination of Sabers. His prefered weapon is the dual bladed saber he constructed during his ascension to Knighthood. It features two yellow blades which clearly mark him as a Jedi Sentinel although he is well on his way to claiming the title Jedi Watchman.

Alat is well on his way to being a master of the Trakata style of fighting. Many chastise him for the deceptive nature of the lightsaber style but Alat has always been of the opinion that discarding a technique because of its appearance is foolish.

Alat favors a very strange form Jar’Kai two weapon fighting, while Alat carries a second single blade lightsaber he prefers something else as his second blade. While most would consider it to be a guard shoto and saber style of combat when he is not using both sides of his dual blade; Alat employs a baton made of Cortosis which is anthem to other saber users as the metal causes lightsabers to shut off. This in conjunction with his Trakata style results in a truly exotic form of lightsaber combat that involves Alat actually using his baton to shut off his enemies lightsaber only to engage the other side of the dual blade in a sudden deadly switch of grip which has almost no forewarning.

Alat is a solid martial artist which he picked up in parallel with his training at the Jedi Academy.

Force powers:

-Alat is incapable of the normal force persuasion. However it is rumored that he once experimented with using the force to dig through a prisoner's mind for information. The council expressly forbid him from ever attempting such a thing again.

-Alat is excellent at using the force to move, throw, push and manipulate objects. While not a master by any stretch of the imagination he is highly gifted and continued to grow by leaps and bounds.

-Alat is proficient at neutralizing energy with the force allowing him to block a small number of blaster shots with the force. He has yet to test the ability when blocking a lightsaber strike.

-Alat has an uncanny force sense, while his precognition is normal for a jedi he has an above average ability to tell where things are even when deprived of his vision.

-Inorder to counteract the dangers posed by losing his mask Alat took it upon himself to become proficient with internalizing his breathing allowing him to function for extended periods of time lacking his breath mask.

-There is a rumor that Alat has experimented with Sith lightning but he has never displayed any use of the power to anyones knowledge and the council claims that any rumors are unfounded. Alat neither confirms nor denies the rumors.

Biography:

Alat was born on Kel Dor prior to the beginning of the Great Galactic. He was spotted by the Jedi early as a force sensitive individual and was taken for training at the Jedi temple on coruscant.

He was apprenticed to a Jedi Knight named Maut, a Gand Jedi Knight of little note who mentored Alat from Padawan to Jedi Knight. Maut passed away a year after Alat was raised to the rank of Knight. Maut was 73 at the time and Alat’s only friend and ally within the Jedi Temple.

By this time the War was past its midpoint and Alat had taken to his mission as a Sentinel. His first taste of true battle coming as a part of the attack made on Korriban before he was recalled under questionable circumstances.
Alat would re-enter the battle again as a defender of Serenno before being forced to flee and then again on Ord Radama where he earned a reputation as a ruthless hunter of the Sith. Just prior to Mekhis conquest of the planet Alat was recalled to Coruscant for reassignment as the council feared his crusade was drawing him too near the dark side as he hunted Sith on Ord Ramada.

Fortunately or perhaps unfortunately this meant that Alat was in the temple when Malgus Sith attacked.

Personality/Motivation:

Most describe the Jedi Sev as being rather cold and callous for a Jedi but he also projects a chilling serenity that is almost never marred by even the most catastrophic events. Since choosing the path of the Sentinel Alat has become incredibly zealous about rooting out the Sith threat to the galaxy.

The Jedi council has deemed Alat a sort of black sheep and are often more than happy to send him on dangerous missions to counter the Sith threat to the galaxy due to his slightly obsessive crusade.

The few who have truly come to know Alat are often startled to find a truly observant and soft spoken teacher. While Alat has not taken a Padawan since the death of his first and only Padawan at the hands of the Sith he is a passionate and direct teacher who is happy to deliver a hard lesson in order to get his point across.

Alat’s crusade against the Sith is not the result of a vendetta or other wound he received at their hands. Instead it is driven by a morbid curiosity about the Sith. Alat has spent many years tracking, studying and killing sith as a means of learning more about them. Many consider this to be a dangerous practice however none can seem to find fault in his serene nature when it comes to dealing with them; much the way a master deals with an unruly pupil.

While Alat is considered to be very disciplined and controlled he has a violent streak that occasionally colors his aggressive lightsaber combat and no quarter style of fighting. Alat wastes no time and no thoughts in combat. Many of the members of the council are disturbed by his almost sociopathic demeanor in combat.

Many speculate that Alat has cultivated his reputation and demeanor as a means of cutting himself off from anything that the Sith could ever use against him and point to his lack of a Padawan as the ultimate evidence to this. While many certainly criticize the strange Sentinel none can fault him for failing to do exactly what is expected of him.

Player’s Long Term goals:
Alat is designed to move along the knife edge between sith and jedi. Ideally he will flirt with both the light and the dark for the duration of his existence as a sort of mirror for both sides of the conflict to stare into and see how they are both sides of the same coin while Alat represents the edge of the coin.

Additionally it would be interesting to see Alat mentor and temper his captors (excluding Sith Lords who are so far along the path that they are too set in their ways or are beyond him in power) helping them to expand their own talents even at the cost of his own suffering.

I may additionally go so far as to consider converting him to a Sith as a means of exploring what it is to hunt Jedi as opposed to Sith, sort of the opposite side of the coin from the Jedi Sentinel

Relations:

Alat is very much a black sheep as he lacks a living master and a living Padawan

While he is an excellent instructor many fear the rumors about him and as a result Alat has spent much of his time at the Temple as a sort of unwanted mentor to those he comes upon and guides towards achieving their full potential before moving on.

Alat is one of the temples few experts on the Trakata style of saber combat and as a result he has a steady flow of temporary students whom he teaches how to combat the vicious style of lightsaber combat before they move on.
