BiographyEdit

After his parents on M'haeli were killed by the Empire, he was sent to Coruscant. There, the young man evaded Imperial Inquisitors, until finally run to ground by Inquisitor Probus Tesla (thought to be one of the most skilled Inquisitors). The violence of their fierce duel drew Jedi fugitive Jax Pavan and Gray Paladin Laranth Tarak to the scene. Together they rescued the boy, whom Pavan began to train as a Padawan.

Savaros was ambushed by Inquisitors while in the streets of Coruscant with Pavan's companions and fellow Whiplash members Haninum Tyk Rhinann and Dejah Duare, and fought his would-be abductors. He might have been captured by the Inquisitors if not for the intervention of Jax Pavan, I-5YQ, and Laranth Tarak.

Savaros and Tarak were later betrayed by Duare and captured by the Empire. Darth Vader destroyed Savaros's memory and used him and Tarak as a lure for Jax Pavan. Pavan came to their rescue, saving both Tarak and Savaros, but Savaros's broken mind and spirit would prove more difficult to save. After the confrontation, he was sent by the Whiplash to the Silent and the Togrutan healers on Shili, where Jax hoped he might recover and relearn the use of the Force.

Personality and traitsEdit

Torn from a loving family to face life alone on Coruscant, Kajin was understandably frightened of the denizens of the planet-city's underbelly, but more terrified of capture by the Empire. He shied away from notice, using his Force abilities to cloak himself and suggest to anyone who saw him that he was beneath their notice. He was gentle by nature, but filled with despair for his lost life and rage at the Empire for having destroyed it.

Living on pilfered goods from Ploughtekal Market, he turned his natural curiosity and problem-solving abilities to survival. Kajin was highly intelligent and intuitive and used his untrained Force sense by instinct alone -- his wishful thinking could produce results, so could his anger or fear.

On the streets of Coruscant, he lived in constant terror of being discovered, but soon found that attempting to muzzle his Force abilities caused them to surface in unpredictable and sometimes violent ways. A sort of self-loathing began to set in; Kajin wanted desperately to learn control of his powers -- and to strike back at the Empire.

Under Jax Pavan's tutelage, he was a dedicated and apt student, doggedly working to learn control that his deep hurt and fury seemed to push just out of reach.

Powers and abilitiesEdit

Though only a teenager, Savaros was extremely strong in the Force, and was able to do things that Jedi Knight Jax Pavan had thought impossible. This raw talent made the youth an object of intense interest to Darth Vader and the Emperor. Savaros had great difficulty in keeping his powers under control, however, and was subject to random, dangerous rages. He often displayed his greatest feats in times of desperation, such as when he bested Probus Tesla in combat, or when he later used the Force to reduce another Inquisitor to mere ash during the duel at Rainbow Parkway and Gallery Row.
