Trik Kesajun

"A great disappointment for such a great warrior."

- Dooku

Trik Kesajun was one of Dooku's lesser known Dark Acolytes, lesser known for the simple reason that he was never prominently featured in the battles of Clone Wars, with the exception of the Battle of Abala. The Twi'lek was first discovered by Dooku on Kesajun's homeworld Ryloth. He had a short career with the Separatists before meeting his end.

Early life
"He was my teacher, my master... My predecessor."

- Kesajun

Sometime in his youth, a Jedi had given Kesajun a blue lightsaber. As Kesajun was not a force-sensitive being, it is unknown why the Jedi gave him this gift. He then trained him in lightsaber combat and awareness for a short time. The Jedi then mysteriosly vanished. Kesajun continued to practise with the lightsaber and trained himself even more.

Invasion of Ryloth
At the beginning of the Clone Wars, Ryloth was taken by the Separatists. During the swift invasion, which Dooku presided over personally, Trik Kesajun tried to defend himself and his parents from the droids. He was seen using a red lightsaber skillfully, and this is what caught Dooku's attention. Eventually Kesajun fell to a group of Super Battle Droids and was about to killed when Dooku intervened. There was nothing left for him on Ryloth, as the droids had killed his parents, so he agreed to go with Dooku to Serenno.

A new Dark Acolyte
"What is it you want from me?" "Nothing" "Then what is it you expect of me?" "Greatness"

- Kesajun and Dooku

Dooku had been searching for a new Dark Acolyte since the death of Sev'rance Tann. Asajj Ventress and Kesajun were his foremost applicants. Although Kesajun was not Force-sensitive that has little to do with commanding an army. But Dark Acolytes were still Jedi of the dark side of the Force. The sudden death of Kesajun's parents had left him devastated, angry and vulnerable. Dooku ensnared him with lies and deceit and turned him against the Republic, making him blame his loved ones' deaths on it. His impatience aside, he was ready to serve.

Duel with Ventress

- Kesajun to Asajj Ventress

Kesajun began to grow impatient, as Dooku refused to let him into battles, afraid that he would be killed. For both the purpose of matching the power of these two Acolytes and to satisfy Kesajun, Dooku devised a test for Kesajun and Asajj Ventress. Not long after Ventress's duel with Anakin Skywalker (and, of course, Ventress's recovery), Dooku told Kesajun that he had found the person responsible fot his parents' deaths. He said she was on Ryloth, where he had sent Ventress shortly before. Yearning for revenge, Kesajun went to Ryloth and confronted Ventress in a short duel. Ventress eventually overpowered Kesajun, destroyed his blue lightsaber and severed his right arm. She then sliced him in his shoulder and across the chest. Dooku quickly arrived via ship and escorted Ventress and Kesajun to Serenno. Kesajun was given immediate Bacta treatment. He survived, but had a durasteel breathing mouth-piece placed over his chest and mouth, much like the ones worn by Skakoans. His arm was also replaced by robotic one.

Battle of Abala

Kesajun sunk deeper into the dark side as fury enveloped him. After learning of Dooku's test he had grown mutinous. Dooku sensed this and thought it was time to unleash his warrior, as he had no longer any use for the deformed Twi'lek. He sent Kesajun on a mission to Abala, during the battle. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were leading a troop of clones against a droid command centre there. He sent Kesajun, not expecting victory, to confront and kill Skywalker. Kesajun, delighted for a chance to fuel his anger into something, built a new, red-bladed lightsaber and went to Abala. Kesajun waited in the cliffs above the command centre, knowing that Skywalker would sense him. Eventually a Jedi arrived, but it was Obi-Wan. As he had never met Kenobi or Skywalker, Kesajun mistook Kenobi for Skywalker and began duelling with him.

Death
"I've faced death before!" "Not like this!"

- Kesajun and Obi-Wan

Kenobi was obviously more powerful than the Acolyte, but Kesajun had become legendary with a lightsaber. He fought galantly, occasionally almost striking Kenoni down. But Obi-Wan inevitably caught Kesajun off guard and severed his lekku and then hsi entire head. Kesajun's short delve into the dark side was over.

Personality
"He has an impatience that could match young Skywalker's."

- Dooku on Kesajun

In his youth, Kesajun was very curious. It was curiousity that tempted him to the dark side. It is also probably how he met the Jedi that gave him his first lightsaber. Kesajun was very impatient and was easily irritated. This was a great flaw that Dooku saw in him. He was impatient in both his training with the mysterious Jedi and with Dooku. He became quite hollow after his parents' death, and Dooku's deceitful words made him feel the world was a cruel place. This in turn made him quite cruel. He became slightly bloodthirsty and craved malice. His over-confidence in his abilities was another flaw. Since he had only ever met one Jedi before he met Dooku, he believed that he was extremely powerful in combat. Everyone he knew marvelled at his skills with a lightsaber on his home planet. Because of this he became jealous of Dooku and Ventress's skills.

Abilities
Kesajun made up for his lack of Force-sensitivity with lightsaber skills. In a very short time, he mastered Shii-Cho and Soresu, and even delved into Makashi. His speed was picked up after his duel with Ventress, along with other things he improved after his failure.

Because of the harsh, rocky terrain of Ryloth, Kesajun found it easy to adapt to harsh landscapes and conditions. This is how he easily trekked the cliffs in Abala so quickly. During his duel with Obi-Wan, every new area they found themselves in he adapted to and used to his advantage.

Kesajun could speak both Basic and Twi'leki.
