Biography

Early life

The Human male Jack of Blades was born in 300 ABY on Korriban. He lived in a normal family for quite a while, with his parents, brother, Knight of Blades, and sister, Queen of Blades. However, since the planet was still under Sith control at that time, life was pretty harsh for everyone. Although Jack's parents discovered that their children were all Force sensitive, they didn't inform the Sith...but they later found out themselves. Therefore, when Jack turned 16, his parents were murdered by the Sith, and he was forced to become one of their apprentices along with his brother and sister for about two years. All three of them were given special masks augmented by the Force, but Jack also received an armor. It is important to say that these relics may have been "enchanted" by the power of the Dark Side.

                                       


Early adulthood

It did not take long for Jack to realize that the Sith Order wasn't the place where he should be. After scouting the outer areas of the Order's temple for a while, he planned his escape from the cursed planet. He was to enter a cave near the Valley of the Sith Lords and try to find a way out of there. After a few minutes of walking through the cave, Jack found an exit that led to the surface. And imagine his surprise when he found a ship that was still partially intact, but abandoned. Due to the fact that he was taught how to fly a ship, he finally made his escape. The young Blades decided to travel to Tatooine, because it was one of the closest planets...and because his ship couldn't resist much longer.

Eventually, the ship crashed on Tatooine's landscape... However, Jack realized it wasn't such a bad thing because he's seen something that looked like a temple, not far away. Since he was thoroughly exhausted, he decided to take his chances and enter the temple. By doing so, he was welcomed by its inhabitants - the Old Dark Angel Jedi as a Hopeful of their Order.

He's met a lot of people out then that are currently some of his friends...like Galen, Kain, Dereck, Sirius, Vrook, Jauslyin and many others. Either way, after Jack spent about a year there, he finally became a Dark Angel Padawan, and was taken under Vrook Lamar's wing.

Jack immediately joined one of the Dark Angels' professions - the Death Wing...which was probably called the Defense Corps at that time. Also, he chose to follow the path of a Guardian. However, after about another year, he thought that balance was important in things...so he switched to the path of a Sentinel, thinking that it meant to be an adept in both lightsaber and Force combat. He even joined the Healing Corps and became a very skilled medic as years passed.


Knighthood and the foundation of the Galactic Federation

It didn't take long for young Blades to finally attain the rank of a Dark Angel Adept and to get his chance to participate in the Knight trials. With the help of Master Lamar's wisdom and will to pass on his knowledge to his beloved Padawan, Jack managed to become a Knight. It was indeed a joyful occurrence for him, because new possibilities became available to him...like leading a mission, a class...or simply by carrying the honorable title. He even began studying the Dark Side of the Force, since he believed in the so called...balance. However, he may have been a little bit too eager to study it.

He, of course..decided to take a Padawan under his wing to see how it is like to be a teacher. He picked a very interesting young student named Carver N'dolo, which chose to follow the path of a Consular. Though, Jack didn't hesitate to "suggest" him to become a Sentinel...again, because of the belief in the necessity of balance. Even though Carver didn't find that essential at first, he eventually listened to the idea.

However, once Jack turned 25, he decided to retire from the Dark Angels Jedi Order along with his Padawan and Kain YukiShiro due to the corruption within their ranks. The three of them formed the Galactic Federation - a Jedi Order that did last for quite a while. Other Dark Angels followed, and so the new Order's strength grew significantly. Anyway, Jack has taken another Padawan under his wing - Velicia Harite.


The Mareks and the Terentatek Mauler

After a few years spent in the Federation, one of Jack's friends - Galen Durnal II has decided to join his Order. But what is surprising is his discovery during an organized crystal hunt... Jack turned out to be in fact Galen's cousin - Dagon Marek.

Anyway, Dagon decided to pay the Valley of the Sith Lords in Korriban a visit. He entered the cave where he made his escape from the Sith Order so long ago...and unfortunately, he had to confront a creature that seemed to be a developed Terentatek Mauler. During the fight, Jedi Master Marek was injured by the creature, but he defeated it anyway shortly after.

Dagon's body seemed to suffer many changes after that battle, including superior strength, height...and probably many other factors.


The Flight of the Archangels

The Galactic Federation eventually collapsed, and everyone split out throughout the universe. However, after years of travels between planets, Jack received a message from Kain, in which he requested him to show up at the old Galactic Federation temple on Yavin IV. He found out that Master Vrook Lamar, Sirius Leos, Kain YukiShiro and Drakyl YukiShiro were about to form a new Dark Angels Jedi Order, to keep its old ways alive.

Of course, Jack didn't refuse to help them...and so he became a Jedi Adept again, although his knowledge wasn't taken from him, probably due to trust. Because of his high capabilities, he managed to become a Jedi Knight again, and to aid the new Order in growing larger and stronger. Jack decided to follow the path of a Guardian once again, and to join the Death Wing, although the truth is that he's a master healer as well.

And so the story continues...
