History:Keskrit was born on Nal Hutta to a single mother and an unknown (possibly bounty hunter) father. At hatching, he devoured his siblings (as is custom) and quickly became a bit of wild child. His mother, a Trandoshan who worked as a
indentured servant cook in a local Hutt palace, had very little time for her hatchling and as such, he ran wild through the palace with a small gang of friends, starting fights, stealing and playing pranks on the Hutt. The local Hutt soon roped him in, however and put him under the wing of a drunken bounty hunter. Keskrit had very little interest in bounty hunting but he had no problems with killing or fighting. As such, he usually left his 'teacher' alone in the pub where he drunk his sorrows away. However, when sober, the bounty hunter taught Keskrit self defence and utilising fighting with his teeth and claws. Ironically, this bounty hunter was killed some years later in a fight. Keskrit grew to hate the Hutt's, the planet and everyone on it, even his mother.
In his early adolescence, Keskrit began showing signs of force sensitivity. With the death of his teacher, the Hutt instead allocated Keskrit to become his personal gladiator, who would fight for his amusement against other young Trandoshan's. Keskrit resented his post as a slave fighter but dared not question the Hutts for fear his life would be cut short. His force-sensitivity meant his reactions became faster and a force 'spidey-sense' developed. Fighting was rarely fatal and killing your opponent was frowned upon, which suited Keskrit. At the age of 15, before the days of the Clone Wars, the palace was visited by a pair of Jedi (Knight and Master) who were to arrest a wanted bounty hunter that had been sheltered by the Hutt. Negotiations turned sour and all the young Trandoshan's were ordered to attack the Jedi and drive them from the palace. Keskrit jumped into the fight, claws flashing and snarling. At first, things were going well. But when the Jedi pulled out their lightsaber's and started using the Force, things turned for the worst. A finger was chopped from Keskrit's hand, which put him to his knees in pain. The rest of the young Trandoshan's were quickly dispatched by the Jedi while Keskrit frantically attempted to stick the finger back to his hand.
For resisting arrest and sheltering a criminal, the Hutt was arrested along with the wanted bounty hunters. The Trandoshan's were told to leave the palace and most were overjoyed at the prospect of freedom. However, Keskrit, who was bitter yet curious of the Jedi's power, attempted to mug the older Jedi for his lightsaber while he walked through the streets of a local town. He was quickly thrown to the ground by the force, to which he quickly jumped up only to be thrown back to the ground. The Jedi was amused by Keskrit and also sensed he was force sensitive. He invited him to the Jedi temple under the promise of a free lightsaber and a purpose in life. Keskrit agreed and left his old rough life behind. His Mother said a heartfelt goodbye and for the first time in year, Keskrit loved his mother. He gave her his decapitated finger as something to remember him by. His finger would later grow back, as is common in Trandoshan's.
While in the temple, he was questioned by the council. They thought him to be a potential great Jedi if it were not for his love of fighting and arrogance. The Jedi vouched for him as he saw potential and said all his bad qualities could be squashed after a few years of training. The council eventually agreed to allow Keskrit in and gave him to the Jedi Knight, a Mandalorian named Wicker. Wicker was an enthusiastic yet firm teacher and within a year, was very happy with Keskrit's progress. Keskrit's personality changed drastically under Wicker. He became somewhat calmer and lost his arrogance. His love of a good fight stayed, however. He was significantly older than most Padawan's yet this was often more of a disadvantage than an advantage. When the Clone Wars began, Wicker and Keskrit were told to stay in Coruscant to fight crime and CIS espionage in the lower levels of the City. Keskrit was never very skilled with the force, often preferring to use his lightsaber. But his Force power was enough to get by. Wicker encouraged Keskrit to explore all possibilities as a Jedi but as of then, he still hadn't decided what class he wanted to go into.
Order 66 was issued while the pair were arresting a criminal in the lower levels of Coruscant. The accompanying Clones immediately turned on Wicker and Keskrit, who were both quick to leave. They were pursued through the undercity that night by foot, by speeder and even by ship. Wicker was killed at the dawn of the next day by getting overwhelmed by blaster shots from pursuing Clones. Keskrit escaped by force jumping off the ledge into the abyss. The Clones took him for dead and wrote two more off of their list. Keskrit, meanwhile, hi-jacked a speeder and completely changed his image. He kept his lightsaber hidden at all times, abandoned his Padawan robes for simpler clothing and kept to the lower floors of Coruscant as the Empires reach wasn't as felt down there. The Padawan was confused, bitter and angry at himself that he hadn't saved his master but vowed to still become a Jedi for his master and best friend, Wicker. Right now, he is currently trying to figure out a way to escape from the planet's undercity and get to a planet far away from the Empire to continue his training. However, with each passing day, this plan success rate becomes slimmer and slimmer.
