Name: Tan El Nali
Species: Lorrdian
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185
Class: Sentinel/Diplomat
Position: Instructor, Ambassador
Primary Strengths: Multiple form user and skilled negotiator.
Appearance:
Weapons: Two curved dual phase lightsabers, and shoto saber saber kept hidden within his robes.
Skills/Abilities: Lacking most Jedi's heavier training in the force, his abilities are limited to moving objects with the force and force immunity. However, there is no finer living saber combatant while he is not a master of all forms he knows more of saber combat thanks to years of serving as Sentinel on Nal Hutta. He can understands and can teach Shii’cho, Soreso, Ataru, Niman, Sokan, Jar’kai, and Tràkata. He is also trained in Juyo but reserves the teaching for those he believes are ready.
While his force skills are lackluster, his people skills are impressive a capable negotiator and people reader.
Background: Born on Coruscant to a refugee family he was taken in the years before his home system succumb to slavery. He was raised by the order though his service as Sentinel was selected if only to silence his cries as and get him far from the council as they dealt with Revan. Taking his crusade against slavery to Nal Hutta, he became an icon on the planet and to those who opposed slavery in all it’s form.
While many fought the Mandalorian wars, Tan fought his own battles and traveled between worlds seeking aid and support in taking action to free his people. Even now after the Republic’s defeat he still believes that freeing his people would earn the Jedi the trust and aid of their people. He joined the enclave realizing that his saber skills were of greater use training then fighting skirmishes and protectin few remaining Senators. He has joined and is currently petitioning to take a Padawan learner.
While still young for a master of so many forms, saber combat has always come naturally to Tan it seems as though he able to use the force in saber combat better than actually commanding the force in general. While many would guess it is his anger it is actually simply his area of expertise, while not strong he can be precise and clear with his force altered movements.
Tan El Nali is one of the finest living duelists, while he will refuse to admit it he will be a driving force in training and in shaping politics with the resurging order. Though the Republic has fallen few forget meeting a Jedi diplomat such as Tan.
