Personality and traits
"He's perhaps the most violent master I've ever had...but he's kind, and he's certainly willing to teach me....so I think I'll stick with him a bit longer,"

- Jain Calmora Ilkain was known to be a practical man, even as a young apprentice. He spend the majority of his time in his early years as a padawan searching for easy solutions to problems that he was presented with. He would often seek serious problems or put himself in dangerous situations to see how to best come to a solution. He relied heavily on intelligence and practical skill to progress in his training and was always asking questions.

After becoming a Jedi Master, Ilkain was known to be an upfront and direct Master, taking the training of his first apprentice Jaan from an educational standpoint, carefully guiding him in the right direction. After the loss of his Padawan, Ilkain was distraught and vanished for 3 years to try and calm his emotions.

After his battle with Jarod Moonsail, Ilkain started to take a new view on the force, believing in a Unifying Force rather than seeing a Light and Dark Side. This choice came with his decision to leave the Jedi Order, and he would hold true to it for the remainder of his life.

His attitude from the time of the Clone Wars on was that of a gruff, stern mentor. He was quick to point out flaws in potential students and emphasized to his apprentices that mistakes could sometimes never be repaired. Despite his rather dark approach to teaching, he is noted to still have had a soft spot for his pupils and was more than willing to teach them the ways of the force.

Lightsaber Skills
Ilkain was known to be a strong practitioner of Juyo in the years of the New Republic. He combined this violent form of Lightsaber combat with the force to assault his opponent with overpowering blows in rapid succession, giving them little time to react or defend themselves. He is known to be a skilled Lightsaber wielder and was capable of holding his own against several Jedi at once using the form.

After acquiring Jaan's Lightsaber, Ilkain started using it first in combat using the Ataru form most when against a single opponent, utilizing the secondary blade of the weapon to catch enemies off guard. Should his opponent prove too difficult or if he was up against multiple enemies, Ilkain would switch Lightsabers and revert to Juyo.

Force abilities
Ilkain believed in the Unified Force, and as such had no qualms about using powers that the Jedi would consider "Dark". He was an incredibly powerful Force user; able to influence events happening on other planets with the Force, such as when he used Alter Environment to change the battlefield of Mustafar from a Starship several light years away.

Aside from standard powers such as Force Jump, push/pull and mind tricks, Ilkain was known to use several force powers in combat. He commonly used Force Wound or Force Lightning to attack an opponent's organs directly. He commonly used Drain Knowledge to get information from people.

His greatest feat of the force is the fact that he used a combination of Force Body, Healing, and Revitalize to keep his body virtually immortal, constantly regenerating any damage to his body and continue fighting.

After his disappearance, it is implied that Ilkain's body has long-since died, and that he is simply a Force Ghost manipulating his outfit to fight move. This is supported by his lack of biological needs and his ability to survive in space.

Lightsabers


Ilkain is known to have possessed three different Lightsabers in his lifetime. During the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars, he utilized a rather commonplace Lightsaber, which he constructed during his days as an apprentice. During his duel with Jarod Moonsail, however, this Lightsaber was destroyed, forcing him to construct a new one shortly after.

His new Lightsaber had been constructed to fit his personal vision of a graceful weapon; designed to be as flexible as it was dangerous. His second Lightsaber was constructed specifically to be used with the Juyo form of Lightsaber combat. This lightsaber possessed a slightly curved handle and a protrusion that extended past where the handle would end. This Lightsaber incorporates Phrik into it's design.

After the death of Jaan, Ilkain began using his fallen apprentice's Lightsaber in addition to his own. Despite his unfamiliarity with the weapon, he was able to successfully integrate it into his fighting style. Ilkain commonly uses the blade as a defensive measure in combat while reserving his own Lightsaber for offense.

Behind the Scenes


Ilkain was originally intended to be some sort of Ancient Sith warrior, possessing immortality through the force and running rampant amongst the old republic. However, this character outline did not last, and he was made into a Jedi instead after the his creator was convinced otherwise.

Ilkain's design has stayed largely consistent throughout his creation, with only small detail differences in his mask design being notable.
