Early life (3,970-3,959 BBY)
"You are of Jedi blood, my son, my blood..."

- Jolee Bindo's spirit, to Kyram in a vision

The grandson of former Jedi Padawan Jolee Bindo and a Sith acolyte named Nayama, he was born to a Human male Jedi and a female Miraluka Jedi on the ecumenopolis world of Coruscant six years after the start of the, the -Human named Bindo was cared for during his early months by his mother's Twi'lek friend Daesha Komad after his parents left to participate in a prototype weapon experiment ran by Republic scientists in the  at. After learning of the deaths of her fellow Jedi, Komad decided to take the eleven-month-old to the  on  as promised to his mother before she left. After landing on the planet, and taking a private shuttle the Twi'lek approached the Temple's landing platform, the transport she was on was attacked by swoop gang members&mdash;Daesha attempted to fight off the attackers, she managed to kill three of the gangsters before being overwhelmed. A white-haired Human female&mdash;the other gangsters called Aerena&mdash;took a crying Bindo from Daesha's arms and the gang left the vehicle and a badly beaten Daesha. When Aerena discovered the child she was meant to abduct, she and her gang relocated to the of the planet, subsequently adopting the abducted child, Aerena raised Bindo as her own giving him the name Ayjae, calling the child to be an heir to her 'soon-to-be criminal empire'.

Life with the Black Riders
During his childhood, Ayjae committed his first violent at the age of seven when he killed an sadistic Black Rider lieutenant while he was savagely beating a slave member of the Black Riders, he shot the man with a his mother kept. The later revealed herself as Edessa Lorso but she later went by the nickname "Blade" because of her skills with edged weapons.

Early in the year 3,959 BBY, with the help of another slave member of the Riders named Morrigan and a drunken Aerena, Ayjae discovered that he was taken from his real family.

Escape from the Riders and adoption
"I want to become one of you. Seeing what you people are capable of... I want that l. Will you have me?" "Welcome to the family, son."

- Bindo and Kara Beviin

During the first months of the, eleven-year -old Ayjae and several other children including Edessa were ready to revolt against and escape the Black Riders. The other children turned to Edessa, hoping she could convince her best friend Ayjae to use his status as Aerena's son to help them escape. Unbeknownst to anyone other than Blade, Ayjae had figured he wasn't Aerena's son and already contacted, although anonymously, a mercenary group via hologram to help them, and they agreed to a hefty sum of 20,000 credits. Less than a week later the Rider base was breached by a team of former s, after killing off a significant number of gang members, the children including Ayjae, Edessa and Morrigan were rescued just as the was arriving and thinking the Mandalorians were kidnapping the children they opened fire on them were soon fired themselves. Yelling for the fighting to stop, Ayjae asked the pilot to land so he could explain the situation to the TCA which he did minutes later. The head TCA officer lieutenant Garen Paduk decided to take the children in, but Ayjae, Morrigan and Edessa decided to stay with the Mandalorians, to which they agreed and understandingly Paduk acknowledged their decision and departed with the remaining children. Subsequently Ayjae was adopted by Kara Beviin, Morrigan by Rohka Dyre, and Edessa by Perero Keth.

A new galaxy and prisoner
Three hundred years later Kyram Beviin was awakened from his by a Sith research team of the "new" Empire on the unidentified planet, the team of scientists and soldiers helped him immediately arrested him seeing he was wearing similar colors to the  whom rebelled against the Empire. Beviin transported to the Vokuta on  in the, where he was incarcerated for almost two years.

As Beviin was brought into the prison, he was struck by a guard, he quickly reacted and took down five guards&mdash;killing three and sending the other two to the infirmary&mdash;this impressed a fellow Mandalorian,Ruusaan Ordo who was nearby watching. He was incapacitated by the warden's assistant and sent to the Pits, where prisoners were forced to fight for lives.

Bounty hunter
"I don't make threats, I make promises. So are you coming peacefully or do I have to drag you by your lekku, lady?"

- Kyram Beviin, to Ponda Larcharga

Sometime after escaping their incarcerated lives, Beviin and Firith became bounty hunters, eventually becoming successful enough for the to extend an invitation for the pair to join. Beviin and Firith declined, but kept in contact.

After a successful bounty on the singer Jeib Nistu, Beviin and Firith ran into their old friends from Vokuta, Ruusaan Ordo and her brother Dedric at the Dealer's Den Cantina. After Nilim passed out and Dedric went to bed, Kyram andRuusaan stayed up drinking and catching up, he hired her to 'step in' for Nilim and poise as his 'lady friend' for a Senator Thalin Renas' party at his suite, Ruusaan accepted and Kyram offered her half the bounty. The next day Kyram asked his friend Jil to take Ordo out to get a dress while Beviin got their fake identification cards.

Later the pair wound up back on Coruscant, and were present when the resurgent Sith Empire. They met a young named Sari Laim and her Human companion he named, Atin and group of street urchins, who were about to be executed by Imperial soldiers in the streets of. Beviin and Firith made quick work of the soldiers and Kyram adopted the orphans as his brother and sister.

Outbreak on the Imperious
"I'm not ready to die. I can't die, I can't die. I'm invincible!" "Oh, my Kad, will someone shut him up. We got undead Imps to worry about. I need quiet."

- Silus Elbron and Kyram Beviin

Beviin immediately accepted the offer to investigate the Imperious.

Sith acolyte and Sith Warrior


After being forced to join the as an acolyte, Beviin was subjected to rigorous training, he was trained at the  on Korriban for up to three weeks by   before being transferred to Lady Kissai's estate back on. During his first day on, he was partnered up with fellow Meila Caliss who was supposed to show him the basics of , he commented "if she tries to kill me with her 'saber, I just hope she aims for my neck." By his twenty-third day as a Sith acolyte, he mastered three of the of the seven forms as he "took out thirteen mark I Sith war droids in a short amount of time without using the Force."

After three months, during another Beviin was surrounded and assaulted from all sides by nearly twenty, , and heavily armored , feeling rage and the desperate need to survive Beviinreleased a massive Force pulse against his droid and Imperial attackers, eliminating all of them&mdash;disintegrating all s, turning the war droids into scorched piles of scrap&mdash; and knocking apprentice Meila Caliss and  Kissai aside.

After the incident, Beviin was given an assignment to accompany Meila Caliss to Nar Shaddaa to "silence" a former by the name of Holden Feric. After successfully tracking him and eliminating him, Kyram was wounded in the process and due to the bond he developed with Caliss he was taken to an experienced nurse named Allina, whom Meila met a year earlier. After healing in, the team made their way back to Beviin's ship, the Forunner, but before boarding Beviin sensed a something and in a split-second he saved Caliss from the exploding , an act that was in retaliation for killing Arvona the Hutt a year earlier and it only made Caliss and Beviin that much closer.

After several months Kissai deemed Beviin ready to bring down an elusive Jedi named Tholme Kane.

Battle of Dromund Kaas and desertion
"We are the Mandalorian Knights reformed! We must fight the Sith just as Canderous did before us. We must fight&mdash;to victory, or death&mdash;for the Republic!"

- Kyram Beviin during the Declaration of Rebellion

Two years after Kyram joined the Sith Empire, Beviin, Meila Caliss and former Sith planned to desert the Empire and tried to take the Devastator. Darth Balac managed to intercept Beviin and Caliss, and steered the battle to the engine room where he knocked Meila unconscious by her into the wall, enraging Kyram. Balac dodged Beviin's savage attacks and using the Force, Balac leaped over the Mandalorian. The Sith Lord landed after a mid-air turn, and blindingly fast horizontal slash that cut the back of Beviin's unguarded neck, causing him great pain&mdash;in retaliation, Beviin quickly severed Balac's right arm and managed to hit an explosive tank with wrist-mounted blaster that burned part of Balac's face. Balac swore at him and made his escape before the ship took off.

Rematch with Balac
"Come alone or I slaughter everyone here." "I have to go." "It's obviously a trap." "I know, but I still have to go." "Kyr... *kisses* Come back safe, okay? "Okay."

The Mandalorian Knights
"Aren't you a little young to be a Lord?" "Not a Lord, I'm a General you idiot."

- Gesen Yenoa and Kyram Beviin

Return to Onderon
"Soldiers win battles. Republic Generals take credit, but Mandalorians do both. Just look at him [Kyram]."

- Gesen Yenoa

Sometime after the Onderon Address, Kyram and Meila Caliss married in 3,651 BBY and soon after, their first son Demar and daughter Kyra were born.

Personality and traits
"The next person that that calls me a Jedi will lying in a pool of their own blood."

- Kyram Beviin

While he was living among the swoop gang Black Riders and the Mandalorians, Ayjae was known for his humor, cockiness and mechanical skills, though he was serious when the time. After he completed the  with Kara and Degar, and changed his name, he cut his shoulder-length black hair down and had his clan's mark tattooed on his right shoulder, just above his Black Riders tattoo. Though he was raised by a gang of violent criminals, Ayjae was a kind child; caring about the people around him albeit he wouldn't hesitate to fight anyone who teased him for being a "soft little wuss," as his younger adoptive sister Zula put it. After he discovered he wasn't Aerena's son, Ayjae became a colder and distant person albeit he still cared for the other children gang members around him especially Edessa whom he was very close with and the only person he confided in.

After the massacre of his fellow clan members and his adoptive parents Kara and Tiolle at the hands of P'Taen Damuhn and his mercenaries, a man they all trusted. Kyram went on a homicidal rampage looking for the traitorous Mandalorian and when he finally caught up to him he killed him, though the pain of loss, contempt, and regret lead him down a dark path that eventually lead to an encounter with a of the   since the  and being put into a. Even after nearly three centuries Kyram was still distraught over the abrupt massacre of his family, though he eventually managed to cope with it after learning of his baby sister Kace Beviin's survival of the massacre.

Physical appearance
Ayjae was an "average looking guy, but has a certain mystique about him that makes him&mdash;it draws you in," as his friend Edessa explicitly put it. As Bindo, he had short braids, fairly dark skin, and dark brown eyes. After passing his , and becoming a full Mandalorian, Ayjae cut his hair and changed his name to Kyram Beviin. By 3,650 BBY, he grew a goatee and would keep it groomed as far as 3,654 BBY until he shaved after awakening from the Force trance. Beviin would wear his helmet almost all the time, though during his brief he wore a cloak and hood over his  to cover his face, but when Lady Semreh arrived on Kaas to congratulate him, she award him the mask of the late.

After reclaiming his identity as a Mandalorian, Beviin destroyed the mask of Adraas and created a new set of giving the paint scheme of black for justice, gold for vengeance, and maroon-red for honoring his family, he also re-grew his goatee which expanded into a graying beard over time.

Edessa "Blade" Lorso
His first relationship occurred during his time as a slave member of the Black Riders. Known to him only by her nickname "Blade," Edessa Lorso immediately attracted Ayjae's attention (due to her features and her "sweet and soft voice"), even when her face was dirty with oil or other grease fluids from daily mechanical chores.

Ruusaan "Ruu" Ordo
"Hey, Ruu."

- Kyram, to Ruusaan after not seeing her for five years

Kyram met Ruusaan and her brother in the Sith prison, Tarsus, on the Sith world, in the, who were arrested for revolting against the resurgent Sith Empire and joining 's schism. The three Mandalorians quickly became friends. Ruusaan was immediately attracted to Kyram when she first saw him entering the prison in chains, even with his hands binded he managed to takedown five Imperial guards&mdash;killing three and putting the other two in the infirmary&mdash;this act caused herto be enticed to young Mandalorian. Due to Ruusaan's roommate being killed by the guards during a past riot, Kyram was assigned as her new roommate, the two hit it off and eventually began sleeping together. Some months later another revolt took place under Kyram's leadership; a number of P.O.W.'s escaped as well as a Twi'lek ex-Jedi Master named Nilim Firith, and the Ordo siblings. Soon after escaping, Ruusaan broke it off with Kyram and the left to find her clan with her brother, with whom they lost touch. Heartbroken and in need of credits, Kyram became a bounty hunter and partnered up with Firith.

A year later, Kyram and Nilim ran into Ruusaan and Dedric on Coruscant while hunting a singer named Jeib Nistu. After Nistu's capture, the old got a room at a nearby cantina owned a 'old friend' of Kyram's. After Dedric and Nilim went to bed, Kyram hired Ruusaan to the "lady on my arm" at gathering of high-ranking officers, senators, aristocrats, and other nobility. Ruusaan agreed and two shared several drinks, Ruusaan having Kyram thinking she's drunk confessed she was sorry for ending their relationship and she still loved him and two shared a passionate kiss, before Kyram&mdash;still thinking she's drunk&mdash;pulls away, saying "it wouldn't be right," and takes her to her to sleep it off. The next day Kyram went to Ruusaan's room to find her gone already, he went ahead to meet his employer, a senator named. After the meeting and beinginstructed on what to do, Ruusaan contacted him only saying, "I'll meet you at the penthouse." When she finally arrived, Kyram was stunned by her beauty.

Queen Jaesa
Immediately upon meeting each other, they were instantly attracted to each other. But neither said anything explicitly, more so due to Jaesa's desire to see her uncle dead and Kyram's faith his new-found interest in Meila Caliss. Though Jaesa kissed him and implied that it was to learn Basic but later revealed that she simply wanted to, much to Caliss' dismay, the relationship did not advance past this, and the two decided to keep it completely. She later pledged her fealty and hospitality to him and his Mandalorian Knights.

Sheva Vekser
"Don't worry about it, it was a one-time thing."

- Sheva, to Kyram as the latter leaves her quarters

When Kyram first met Sheva she thought him to be nothing more than a slave to Empire, eventually the two became friends and began plotting against the Empire. Soon after Vekser participated in the Battle of Dromund Kaas and evacuated with the remaining Mandalorian forces to Sora and was present at the conclave on Coruscant as a senior General of the Mandalorian Knights and chief negotiator between Knights and Jedi.

After Beviin was devastated over Caliss' departure, she decided to cheer him up and the two had a 'night on the town', but soon found themselves in bed together, but decided to stay friends and both agreed that it was a 'one-time thing'.

Meila Caliss
"Death comes for us all eventually, so I think we should enjoy each other's company while we can."

- Kyram, to Meila

Other abilities
Kyram was a competent singer and even better song writer as stated by professional singer Ayy'me Li, with whom he had sing a song he had written in his youth. His favorite form of music was and was able to skillfully play a.

Weaponry
"Do I really look like a guy that would go anywhere unarmed?"

- Kyram Beviin

Beviin was known to occasionally carry with him several lightsabers that been given to him by his biological mother and father, his adoptive father's and later his own. Despite having no formal training with a lightsaber until his apprenticeship under Darth Kissai, Beviin was one of the few non-Jedi/Sith capable of using a lightsaber, this likely came from his Jedi heritage as both his parents were highly-skilled duelists. When his heirloom lightsabers weren't with him they hidden in a box made of, a material he had plenty of access to.

Behind the scenes
Statement Aaron Bryant made while Ayjae Bindo/Kyram Beviin was in development: "Originally I couldn't make up my mind for a name so I went on Xbox Live and asked a friend for help, he suggested Kyram Beviin due to my nature, then a few weeks later I thought of KotOR's Jolee Bindo and Ayjae Bindo was born. Also the name Ayjae originally came from the my nickname A.J.."
