Early years
Jarat begin his Jedi training early in life. He was brought to the Jedi academy on Ossus as an infant, and throughout his life he carried but one reminder of his family, and that was his father's ring, which he wore on his right hand.

As a child he showed great aptitude for the Force, and excelled in the areas of lightsaber combat, telepathy, and telekinesis. But truly intrested him, as his Masters soon discovered, was learning. He would spend many hours in the Archives perusing the holobooks or inquiring of the Masters that spent their time there. He also made many friends, including Tagge Drescoll and his five siblings.

His days at the praxeum were numbered, however. At the age of thirteen he was chosen to be the apprentice of Master Tion Doran. He left the academy to begin his education as a Jedi Padawan.

Jarat and Master Doran seemed an excellent match, complimenting each other splendidly, if not perfectly. Despite this, they had a few marked differences of opinion which would be the cause of some tension from time to time. One of the most notable of these disagreements was over the military system. Master Doran believed that the military would always be a necessity for civilization. He believed that the military was needed to keep the peace and that war, though sad, was inevitable. Jarat, though, had been learned much of the past from the old Masters in the Archives of the praxeum, and believed that the galaxy crippled itself through senseless conflict and would continue to be crippled until it moved past it's differences.

These disagreements did not taint their partnership however, and Jarat and Master Doran would face many challenges over the years together.
