Quinlain Jinn

"Our thoughts will always betray us. We must act on instinct - lest our emotions will break through, and corrupt us. This is the Jedi way.""-Quinlain Jinn during the battle of Krosis"Jedi Master Quinlain D. Jinn was a famous Jedi who was active during the Jedi Civil War of the old republic.

The great ancestor of Qui-Gon Jinn, Quinlain's very essence - his entire being was conceived by midichlorians. Being one of prophecy, Jinn's origins were extremely dark - for he was formerly, and unknowingly, the dark lord and founder of the Sith - Lord Revan.

After realizing the evil that he had brought to the galaxy, and finally breaking away from his Sith roots, Quinlain set out to become a Jedi - forming the order, and restoring peace and balance to the galaxy. Jinn clashed with his former apprentice-turned-Sith Lord Darth Malak, with the two becoming arch enemies.

Quinlain Jinn is one of the most revered Jedi Masters in history - and is widely considered to be the forefather of the modern Jedi order in it's entirety.

Background
Quinlain Darius Jinn's birth is that out of ancient Jedi legend - his father was unknown, and his mother died in childbirth. The event which took place at the birthing grounds was an extremely rare phenomenon, only recorded twice - the Blue Eclipse of legend."'As the sun's eclipse took place - the infant came to life... At that moment, the sun turned a shade of dark red - and quickly shifted to a bright, calming blue... which ceased as the birth finalized.'""-Jedi Lore, ancient Testament" Quinlain Jinn was the only infant born exactly as the eclipse entered it's prelude. It is widely believed that this was due to the immense power of midichlorian energy that took place to be able to conceive his life energy, and ultimately form the most legendary man in recorded galactic history.
