Kyram Beviin

"He was the strongest of us all, and for a brief moment, I could feel how strong. I suspect he would have lived forever, if not for this one sacrifice."

- Lucien Draay

Born Ayjae Bindo later known as Ky'ram Beviin Ordo, also known as Davijaan, Darth Genesis, Ky, Kaox Krul and Rogue was a male Human Jedi Padawan to Jedi Master Jene Zey. He was also the grandson of the self-exiled Jedi, Jolee Bindo and Jedi padawan turned Sith Acolyte Nayama Bindo, and the son of Marasiah Draay and Jaden Bindo. He was a Commander during the time of the Mandalorian Wars and aided in briefing soldiers before a mission. He was against the pacifism of the Jedi Council and even addressed his negative ideas to the Jedi Council along with Lucien Wulffe. He was quickly promoted to Jedi Knight and became a General in the Revanchist. He was soon cast out the Order. He was also a centuries-old, Mandalorian who was known to have had an intensely strong connection with the Force which allowed him to retain a youthful appearance. He was one of several legendary wandering Mandalorians whose exploits were known throughout the galaxy. Ayjae played a role in defeating the Mandalorians during the latter stages of the conflict, but as a direct result of his controversial actions during the cataclysmic battle, he effectively cut his connection to the Force. Afterwards, out of all those who went to war, he was the second only Jedi to avoid the call of the dark side so far and return to the Jedi Council to be judged for his crimes. After he was exiled from the Jedi Order, he wandered the periphery of known space for nearly a decade before returning to the Republic during the Dark Wars, at the height of the First Jedi Purge.

Caught up in the schemes of various mysterious factions, he was swiftly drawn into the ongoing conflict and became instrumental in engineering the defeat of the Sith Triumvirate ruled by Darths Sion, Traya, and Nihilus. Able to sense the Force once more, Ayjae emerged victorious from the Exiles campaign against the Sith Lords. In the following years, he and the Jedi that the Exile trained during her travels would prove essential to the process of rebuilding the Jedi Order in the wake of its near annihilation at the hands of the Sith.

Around 20 centuries later, Ayjae stopped a Sith Lord and her lieutenant from killing a Wookiee named Katarra. In gratitude, the Wookiee swore a life debt to Bindo. Seeing the galaxy for it was, Ayjae and Katarra sought greater knowledge to protect themselves, so they learned at the feet of every religion in the galaxy though his alligence lay with the Mandalorians became the first Force using Mandalorian, with Katarra at his side. Piloting the Jetii Ky'ramud, which he won in a game of Pazaak against his best friend Mako Wynn, he became known as one of the most important people in the galaxy.

Beviin later married Phoenix Skywalker in 4 ABY, and the two had three children: Phay, Galen, and Canderous Beviin.

Biography
"Ky'ika, I'll take that image to my grave."

- Lucien Wulffe, on Ky wielding his jetii'kad in full Mando'ad beskar'gam

Early years
As custom with Jedi initiates, Ayjae Bindo was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when he was very young. But unlike most initiates he was able to remember his parents, and he grew up amongst the Jedi, eventually coming under the training of Master Zey. He had once told Mical that he remembered being taken from his parents, and them as well.



After being confronted with increasing amounts of evidence pointing to soldier executions by the Republic, Ayjae declared to Zey that he would follow his heart; that of a Mando's, and protect his family. By doing this he resigned from the Order, stating he couldn't betray his men to death. Zey was sorry to see him go, but allowed him to keep his lightsaber.

Sometime after he left the Jedi and became a Mandalorian, Ayjae was captured by strange doctors whom conducted "strange" and extremely painful experiments, which made his Force sensitivity extremely powerful, after Ayjae managed to escape from their custody he killed them all but one, whom managed to escape his vengeful wrath.

The Mandalorian Wars (3,963 BBY - 3,960 BBY)
"When you returned to us, we saw what had happened. You carry all those deaths at Malachor within you, but not only within you but within another as well, and it has left a hole, a hunger that cannot be filled."

- Vrook Lamar

When the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders launched an invasion of the Galactic Republic, Bindo had overwhelming compassion for the lives lost in the Outer Rim. Inspired by his former Master Zey, who had fought in the early skirmishes, he soon joined the ongoing battle, and became part of the Jedi Knight Revan's faction of Jedi after being personally recruited by Malak himself. He left a prospective Padawan, Elaina, without a Master.

Bindo served as Revan's most trusted general, third only to the Exile, during the Mandalorian Wars. He would prove his skills in battle and his knowledge of warfare in many of the war's bloodiest battles and campaigns, including the second battle of Onderon's jungle moon Dxun. He also attained the rank of Jedi Knight during the war, but no knowledge is known as to how this happened.

Overseeing the battle at the Sith planet Malachor V, he was standing next to the Exile when she gave order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator when it was clear that the bulk of the Republic's forces, led by Revan, would not arrive in time to engage the Mandalorian armada. He watched silently from the bridge of the command ship as the generator crushed both the Republic and Mandalorian forces caught in its destructive wake. The ensuing death and destruction, particularly that of the comrades they had led and befriended during the war caused such a substantial wound in the Force that the shock would have killed them had they not unconsciously, and instinctively, severed their own connection. Thereafter they were deafened to the Force's call; incapable of sensing it through the interference caused by the Force echoes of the suffering that they had inflicted and been forced to witness. The second only Jedi under Revan able to turn away from the dark side after Malachor V, Bindo and the Exile were also the only Jedi to willingly return to the Jedi Temple on the Galactic Capital Coruscant and face trial for their actions&mdash;and also to defend them. Malak originally wanted Revan to use his assassin droid HK-47 to eliminate them, but Revan, who referred to them as Jedi "who was already dead," wanted to face the Council and show them the hypocrisy of their teachings, and so let her leave.

Despite an impassioned plea, the Jedi High Council decreed that because he had followed Revan to war, he along with the Exile was to be cast out of the Jedi Order. In defiance when they asked for the surrender of his lightsaber, he stabbed it into the center stone. After they departed, the Council discussed the true nature of their exile; they feared the "wound" in the Force that surrounded him and the Exile. Some on the Council, most notably Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, felt that they were punishing them not because of what they did, but because they were symbolic of the many Jedi that had fallen to the dark side over the course of history. These Council members felt that they were the perfect opportunity to examine why and how so many Jedi fall to the dark side. But more conservative Council members, such as Master Atris, felt that the Council was too lenient on him and the Exile, fearing that they may join Revan. The Council, however, felt that the wound in the Force already left them dead.



Becoming a father (4 ABY - 7 ABY)
Ky was present when his wife gave birth to Galen and Phay, and was quite nervous and excited. When Intelligence infiltrated the Palace not long afterward, Ky and Phoenix defended their children until help could arrive. As a result of the attack, the Echani, who had been persuaded to help, sent bodyguards to protect the twins while Ky, Cal, Katarra, R3, HK, and Nela went to destroy the fortress after springing Nela out of arrest. After landing the Ky'ra on Dromund Kaas, Ky and the others journeyed through the inhospitable forests, fending off predators and other hazards. Reaching the fortress, they were joined by more Echani, who had been clearing paths for them. Infiltrating the mountain while the local inhabitants launched a diversion, the Knight party attempted to destroy the facility, with the help of Phoenix, Mako, and Ajax, who had arrived to help in the Net'ra Rancor. Aiding Nela and Cal, who were challenged by the insane hermit Lui Baoth, Ky tried to cut the deranged hermit, but was hit with Force lightning and had his sabers snatched out of his hand.

Beviin also played an important role in the defeat of the resurrected Lord of Pain in 6 ABY including infiltrating the Citadel on Neimoida. It was also during this time that his wife learned that she was pregnant with a third child: Canderous Beviin. In 7 ABY, during the Battle of Onderon, the decapiatated the insane hermit, killing it. However, the Baoth's spirit tried to enter the infant Canderous though he was stopped by the Jedi Knight Emile Brand, who sacrificed his life for Canderous.

Powers and abilities
"You are a cipher, forming bonds, leeching the life of others, siphoning their will and dominating them. [&hellip;] You are a breach that must be closed. You transmit your pain, your suffering through the Force. Within you we see something worse than the teachings of the Sith. What you carry may mean the death of the Force&hellip; and the death of the Jedi."

- Lucien Wulffe

Bindo, at first, was a Force user of average ability, yet he was a natural leader. At a young age he demonstrated an unusual ability to influence others, and the Jedi Masters believed that he could form bonds through the Force to easily to those around him, an ability he was not consciously aware of. After making a sronger connection with the Force, this ability became stronger. Simply by observing another in action, Bindo could instantly learn Force techniques and lightsaber forms that would take a Master years to perfect.

It was believed by Ze-kai Ell, Kavar, Atris, Lonna Vash and Vrook Lamar that this was because of the wound in the Force that surrounded him, which allowed him&mdash;like Darth Nihlus &mdash; to feed on the death of other life forms to sustain his Force powers. This wound was caused by the Battle of Malachor V, and was what originally blocked his connection to the Force. It was also because of the nature of such wounds to feed on death that Bindo began to regain his Force connection on Korriban. When Bindo traveled the galaxy, killing hundreds in his search for way to protect himself, he unconsciously fed on all that death, fuelling his powers. It was this that caused the Masters such fear&mdash;both at her trial and after he had later talked with them&mdash;as they thought his condition to be not only a threat to the Jedi and the Force, but a threat to life itself.

Through his informal apprenticeship to Lucien, Bindo was able to learn a number of rare and advanced techniques, including Breath control and Beast trick. Lucien also taught Bindo a powerful form of mind reading, where one could read the innermost thoughts of another. Lucien was very impressed with the speed in which he learned this power. He said that most Jedi Masters studied many years to learn the technique. Bindo was also proficient in other Force powers, including Force valor, Force Resistance, Force lightning, Force whirlwind, and the Mind trick. He also learned many techniques from his companions and friends: Mako Wynn taught him to shield his thoughts, "Radar" taught him Battle Precognition, Mical taught him an advanced form of meditation, and Sasha Marin taught him how to see through the Force. He also learned Moving meditation while trying to improve the functionality of his utility droid T3-M6. He learned the light-sided Force technique known as Force Enlightenment, after nearly being severed from the Force by Lonna Vash on Korriban.

Bindo defeated a number of high-profile adversaries, including Dak Vesser, Bralor, Lonna Vash, and the Sith Lord "Dark Pain". He was skilled in the art of lightsaber combat, utilizing the lightsaber forms Form I: Shii-Cho, Form II: Makashi, Form III:Soresu, and Form V:Shien, Form VI:Niman and was known to have used at least one advanced Force technique, known as Force Channel. He was also proficient in many forms of hand-to-hand and melee combat. At the Telosian Jedi Academy, Ayjae defeated the six Handmaiden sisters in hand-to-hand combat. On Dxun, Bindo defeated the two champions of the Mandalorians' battle circle, Kelborn and Bralor, becoming the champion of the battle circle and earning the champions' rights to criticize or praise any Mandalorian who sparred in the battle circle but after he left that right was given backto Bralor (though he still had it). Canderous told Ayjae, in respect, that even with all their martial training, battles and ethics, even the greatest of his Mandalorian warriors were no match for him. He was also became one of the few Jedi capable of using Dun Möch, especially in a duel against "Darth Sion" who could not be defeated by normal means. Ayjae eventually convinced "Pain" to let go of his Hatred and to finally allow himself to leave his life of pain and die. Ayjae remains the only known Mandalorian Force-user that used the technique to it's greatest extent (most users that used the technique used an inverse variant of the technique, or in limited applications only).

Bindo was also a very skilled tactician. He served during the Mandalorian Wars and had, by war's end, risen to become Revan's most trusted general besides Malak himself, and the Jedi Exile, and commanded about a third of the Republic fleet during the Mandalorian Wars. He is known to have taken part in both the second battle of Dxun and of Malachor V, both of which were victorious. He also proved his tactical brilliance, as well as his natural talents of leadership, after his return from exile, during the battle of Khoonda. On Dantooine a war had broken out between Khoonda and the forces of the mercenary Azkul. Both Khoonda and Azkul wanted the Exile and Ayjae on their side, but they decided to help Khoonda. Before the arrival of Azkul's men to the battlefield, the Exile and Ayjae bolstered Khoonda's defenses by persuading several civilians to join the Khoonda militia, healing those of the militia who were injured, planting more mines in the surrounding fields, and repairing damaged gun turrets and medical and combat droids. Within a matter of mere hours, they had turned a disorganized mess into a powerful army, able to defeat the larger forces of Azkul.

The ramifications of Ayjae's actions were still being felt throughout the galaxy nearly 4,000 years after the defeat of Darth Traya and the Sith Triumvirate. The Jedi, the Exile trained would go on to resurrect the all-but-decimated Jedi Order. Furthermore, the actions he took on Dantooine, Onderon, and Telos would ensure the solidification of a Republic that, because of the Great Sith War, the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War, had been teetering on the edge of collapse, prolonging its existence for several thousand more years.

Jetii'kad ba'jur
"I name you the Kad of the Knights. You are like tempered beskar, purposeful and razor-keen. Always you shall be in the front rank, a tracyn'la brand to your aru'e, a brilliant fire to your vode. Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow that you cast."

- Lucien Wulffe

Ky'ram was known as a highly skilled warrior, While he was stuck on Taris, he participated in the dueling ring to earn some credits. Under the alias of "Kex Starkiller", Ky defeated the top five duelists, Frey Duncan, Gir, Cal, Brash, and Bendak Vesser, to become the champion. His dueling sparked the interest of the Trandoshan hunter Dak Gorse, who only fought in death matches. Perhaps one of Ky's more impressive feats was his single-handed slaying of a pair of terentatek in the depths of the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow's tomb on Korriban. Finally, Ky was able to fight his way through the entire compliment of battle droids, Clone troopers, and Jedi stationed on Tython, and was able to defeat both Desolous and Zymis despite their powers being augmented by the strong Dark Side alignment of Dromund Kass itself.

Force powers
Ky'ram was an incredibly talented and diligent student of the Force&mdash; one of the most gifted of his time&mdash;and eventually, by all accounts, became a very powerful Force practitioner. As one of the few individuals in galactic history to reach the heights of Sith power and reject it, he proved himself highly skilled in the use of both the light and dark sides of the Force.

As a Sith Lord, Ky'ram used a variety of Force powers. He could use the Force to create a whirlwind of Force energy that would encircle his opponent. He also used the Force to grip and choke his enemies, and was proficient in the use of Force storm, and was able to use the dark side of the Force to tap into his innermost fears, pain and hate, and convert them into intense anger, channeling it to increase his speed, strength, and ferocity. Ky'ram also used powers that were able to afflict his opponents, and was capable of using the Mind trick. He also used the Jedi healing technique. Though the full extent of Ky's abilities is unknown.

Other abilities
"Shut up and hand me a weapon."

- Ky Beviin

Ky's ingenuity as a battlefield commander would earn him the undying respect of both the Jedi, Sith and Echani warrior cultures as according to the former General Obi-wan Kenobi, Ky'ram represented a supremely worthy foe&mdash;one that both embodied their philosophies and showed them their weaknesses. The Echani, on the other hand, believed that Ky'ram represented the epitome of what one could achieve in the arts of war, and that his skill was born out of a highly advanced battle precognition.

"What can I say? I'm a talented individual."

- Ky Beviin

In addition to his combat prowess, Force mastery, and clever battle strategies, Ky spoke and comprehended a variety of languages, including Binary, she could also speak and comprehend Basic, Tchuukthese, Huttese, Mando'a, and Twi'leki languages. It is unknown whether this was an intuitive understanding born of his Force sensitivity or the result of his previous application of Comprehend Speech. Interestingly, he was able to understand the Tusken language of the Sand People, requiring the use of HK-52 as an interpreter.

Like Anakin Skywalker, Ky was a skilled mechanic. According to Lucien Wulffe, the first of his teachers, Ky exhibited a natural talent and interest in machinery, particularly droids. While Lucien held a great deal of pride for his student's unique abilities with the Force, he was nevertheless confounded by Ky's preference of droids as he himself could find little to no interest in "all things dead to the Force." Years later, Lucien stated to A'den that he believed Ky's talent for building droids stemmed from his desire for followers that obey orders without question. With that in mind, Ky would come to succeed in creating his ideal droid not long after recreating himself into the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Ky proved himself adept at racing swoops. His first known taste of the sport was on Tatooine, where he defeated the veteran Black Reapers racer Kije, taking the Sector Championship. He continued to compete professionally, eventually winning both the Telos Citadel Station, Nar Shaddaa, Onderon and Manaan sector championships, and was also proficient at playing pazaak, a popular card game in which the goal was to reach 20 without going over.

Personality and traits
"Ms. Intelligence, our new boss. So check your mouths, find your chairs... [tosses a Sniper rifle to Ayjae] and get set for a combat drop! - Lucien to Ayjae when Ayjae asked for her name."

- Lucien and Ayjae

Although he is usually seen as a laid-back, jovial fellow, Beviin also shows a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it. He commonly uses idle conversation and outward concern as an act of distracting his opponents. Despite his care-free attitude, he always speaks politely, but is sometimes sarcastic. Yoru even notes that he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He once described himself as a "mere honest, sarcastic, kandosii, smart, handsome, soldier." Approximately 110 years before the Battle of Yavin, Beviin's personality is the direct opposite of what he is today, showing the changes he went through. During his earlier years as a soldier, he is viewed as a nervous, flustered, and quiet person. He is even somewhat unsure of himself and lacks confidence in his ability to be a good leader. In addition, he is commonly shown to be confused with how to deal with his squad, and is easily overwhelmed by his friend, Mako Wynn. Beviin can usually be found near the scene of an important event, however he doesn't intervenes in situations, preferring to stay on the sidelines, unless someone was hurt. He often tends to know more information then he lets on, and although being a major player he acts only as a catalyst, having others do the work for him. He also likes building large secret underground training spaces, He has built ones in a trench on Nar Shaddaa near Shug Ninx's spacebarn and below the Mando'ad outpost on Dxun. As a witness to the brutality of the CIS and the loss of millions of Republic lives, Ky'ram grew to despise the Jedi. Only Anakin Skywalker, commanded Ky'ram's respect and dedication. He came to see Skywalker as a savior and a leader that he would follow to the ends of the Galaxy and beyond. When Anakin turned against the Jedi, which Ky'ram and many others had grown disillusioned with during the war, Ky'ram did not hesitate to declare his loyalty to the only person he thought had earned it.

Ky'ram faced the galaxy with dismissive apathy and sarcasm. His laid-back attitude and unwillingness to take a position of responsibility often jarred with Treia's grimness as the two traveled together. He also had an irrational hatred of droids, claiming that they couldn't be trusted, and referred to R3-M4 as a "trash compactor" and even suspected R3 of stealing the Ebon Hawk on Nar Shaddaa, saying "He's probably joyriding around the system right now, laughing at us&mdash;laughing at me!" Where this dislike for droids stems from is unknown, as it appears to pre-date the droid rampage on Telos, which is furthered evidenced when he said that droids "break in the head".

Having been betrayed and tricked numerous times, Ky'ram was slow to trust others, yet appreciated when others trusted him. He also liked to impress people he respected, not wanting them to think badly of him. He was naturally cocky, giving the appearance that he breezed through life without a care, though after his encounter with the female Jedi who showed him the Force, his emotions were in almost constant turmoil. However under that cockiness lay a man who hated the Jedi that hesitated to fight in the war, and had some doubts about the Jedi that didn't, and despised arrogance. He also hated being used, which became evident at his reluctance at and subsequent loathing toward blackmail.

Ky'ram was also a man who stubbornly refused to give up, often standing to rejoin a fight even when seriously wounded. He furthermore relied on his gut instincts to see him through. These instincts turned out to be surprisingly reliable, though this could well be attributed to his Force sensitivity.

"Any sign of what killed him, Rolan?" "Let's ask Ky. He's a dead-body-ologist."

- Naida Judis and Rolan, after finding a humanoid skeleton

Ky was a master sniper, and a fierce fighter who enjoyed the thrill of combat. He decorated his armor with blood-red markings that some had trouble distinguishing whether it was paint he had used, or real blood. Ky possessed a grim sense of humor, and a powerful drive to succeed, believing that any failure of his would be letting down his training sergeant, Atin Ordo, disapointing him. Though he deeply respected and revered Wulffe, Ky also felt a sense of remorse. Ky masked this inner insecurity beneath an outward personality of aggressive strength that led the rest of Wulffe Squad to tease that Ky was a bit of a psychopath.

Ky maintained a close relationship with his disciple, A'den, often trading jokes and quips back and forth at an almost constant interval. Ky found the Wookiee's tendency to blend their technology with the surrounding nature to be strange, though his time on Kashyyyk near the end of the war would give him an interest in acquiring a Wookiee bandoleer. He enjoyed warra nuts, though the spiced kind was known to give him gas if he ate too many—a fact Rolan would tease him about. Ky also intensely hated Trandoshans, and kept a count of Trandoshan kills as a means of avenging the large number of wookiee deaths.: he intended to kill specifically 4,982 Trandoshans, one for every fallen wookiee in 3,931 BBY.

Romances
During his life, Ky had several romances.

Phoenix Skywalker "Master, I can tell you that she's going to be impossible to reprogram."

- HK-52

When Ayjae first met Phoenix, he was unsure what to think of her, as she was his first female teacher. His initial interactions with her were awkward, though he quickly grew more relaxed. He noted her effort to seem lighthearted towards him, and he soon started to enjoy her presence, something he chided himself for. As they grew closer, he began to fear that he would have to take action lest they develop a rapport. After his reconstruction on-board the Siit Besu'lisk, Ayjae rescued her in spite of Vader's order to sever all connections to his past, for reasons he himself wasn't sure about.

To a certain extent, he desired Phoenix. However, with his secret out, he was able to bring her fully into confidence, and he began desiring to keep her in his life, to the extent that he started considering the idea of leading the Rebel Alliance in earnest rather than returning to Vader and the Sith. However, the choice was taken from him when Vader betrayed him again. Having lost his sense of loyalty to the Sith cause, he finally admitted his love for Phoenix. His compassion for her was what ultimately pushed him to embrace the dark side of the Force.

Behind the Scenes
Originally I couldn't make up my mind for a name so he went on Xbox Live and asked a friend (Atin Ordo) for help the friend suggested Ky'ram Beviin due to my violent nature, then a few weeks later I thought of KotOR's Jolee Bindo and thought: "What the hell, Jolee not important enough to have a descendant or something." and thus Ayjae Bindo was born. The name Ayjae originally came from the dead Twi'lek in academy on Korriban near Uthar's room in KotOR II.

Though Ayjae is about 3,970 years old he still retained the look of an 24 year old man.
