Cerras Ki

"There's only one more thing annoying than a Sith!" "What's that?" "Two Sith."

- Cerras Ki and Kyle Katarn

Cerras Ki was a young Jedi Knight during the Sith Crusade, and a maverick of the.

Early years
"He's not going to be joining your Jedi Order!" "The choice belongs to your son."

- Cerras Ki's father and Kyle Katarn

Born on the heavily criminally corrupted planet of, Cerras Ki grew up with the ever present threat of destruction, thanks in part to the. So Cerras learnt how to survive in the streets, using his limited Force-connection to gain "street cred" in a variety of areas. When he finally reached the age of seventeen, Ki's family were meet by a cloaked individual who claimed to have a great knowledge of Ki's power of influence over his fellow younglings.

Revealing himself to be none-other than, the famous Jedi Master, Katarn presented Ki with an offer to join the Jedi. Ki's father jumped up in anger, flat-out refusing to allow Cerras to join the Jedi. Kyle stabbed back, clearly stating that the choice was Cerras' and Cerras' alone. When Cerras looked towards his father, it was then that he saw the fear in his father's eyes, fear for his son's safety. Cerras left the room and went to his bedchamber, where he remained for well over a standard hour before he finally returned.

Accepting Katarn's offer, Kyle and Cerras made their way to Ossus, and Cerras begun his Jedi training.

Jedi training
Beginning his Jedi training, Cerras was quickly recognized for his outstanding skill in persuasion and manipulation as well as his head-strong fighting style and striking demeanour.

Within a year, Cerras had rose to great stature amongst his fellow Jedi students, sometimes using his skills in manipulation to has advantage, something that his Jedi teachers lambasted him for it. Shortly after his first year trials, word reached Ossus that the the had been invaded and conquered. As Luke Skywalker prepared to depart with an entourage to investigate the invasion, but before they could depart troubles at home delayed the trip indefinitely.

Two more years passed, and Ki's maverick style truly begun to show through. Ki would often spend long hours in the newly revived jungles of Ossus, and would often use questionable means to procure an end result went sent on mission by his Masters, although he only ever resorted to violence when necessary. It was also during this time that Cerras Ki found himself in the entourage of the, from whom he learned a great number of survival techniques, as well as finding a penchant for the Ysanna over the more standard s used by the Jedi. One day, shortly after returning to the Temple, Cerras Ki received word that the had been invaded and conquered, and this time, it was none who the enemy was &mdash; the Sith.

Investigating the Sith
"I'm going to find out who these Sith are; and how we can stop them."

- Cerras Ki

Cerras had read about the Sith, and their entire history. He knew all about the ancient Sith followers of Darths Revan and Malak, the limited information of and the history of the, and Luke Skywalker's father. Cerras knew that Sith of any Order were enemies not to be trifled with.

Packing clothing, slupplies and various other items, Cerras made his way to his and loaded up his stuff. Shortly before leaving, he was confronted by Katarn. Cerras would not be budged from his mission, and was determined to leave for the Unknown Regions, within seconds Luke Skywalker had also arrived. Katarn petitioned Skywalker to forbid Ki from leaving, but Skywalker refused saying that it was the will of. Cerras Ki left the Ossus system, never looking back, and jumped into hypersapce.

Seven years later, and things had gone from bad to worse for the Jedi. The gargantuan engangement on Praesitlyn had just ended both the Jedi and Sith had suffered grevious losses for little gain. As Skywalker sat in the great hall on Ossus, the Temple's newly rebuilt defense system picked up a lone vessel entering the system. The vessel registed as an XJ-7 X-wing, and Skywalker allowed it to land. Making his way to the landing bay, Skywalker was shocked to see Cerras Ki standing before him. Katarn arrived shortly after, sensing Ki's presence.

Cerras walked up to both of the aged Jedi Masters and smiled; simply saying&hellip;

"I have seen the Sith, and I know how we can defeat them."
