Ryn Salak

"I am no jedi, Master Kota. Not anymore."

- Ryn Salak to General Kota

Ryn Salak was a grey Jedi active before and after Order 66.

Early life
Ryn was born on Coruscant to Alryk Salak and an unknown mother. He was inducted to the jedi order at an early age and was trained and raised by Lyrin Solas.

Career
His first assignment came when he was still under the tutelage of Master Solas. The pair were sent to Dathomir to investigate rumours of a dark side user. There they first came upon Darth Maul, who fought them. Solas was seriously injured but Ryn managed to overcome the sith lord, who escaped.

After this, Master Solas determined that he was ready for the trials. Ryn first took on a projection of Darth Desolus who he defeated using the warrior's own lightsaber. This is when he first drew upon the dark side to duel more viciously. When he was sent against a projection of Darth Phobos, he was challenged but with much difficulty he defeated her and was deemed a Jedi Knight.

Despite being a knight, he retained a close friendship with his master and would occasionally fight alongside him. However he fell in love wiith fellow knight Lyra Halsin and when they were found out, the pair left the Order. They started their own crusade aginst the Separatist movement and eventually came to a sith assassin named Kyros. After a hard fight, they managed to defeat him, but not before he mortally wounded Lyra.

Order 66
After he buried Lyra, Ryn recieved a plea through the force. After searching the planet, he found Master Solas close to death. He healed Solas and they stayed together for a while until scores of clone troopers were sent against them. They fought the clones off and escaped aboard a stolen gunship. They disappeared for many years.

Joining the rebellion
A dark clone of Galen Marek was sent against the pair. They were almost killed until the light clone intervened along with General Kota. They managed to drive the clone off and were both offered work as members of the rebellion aboard the Rogue Shadow.

They attacked the star destroyer Executor, which was under the command of Darth Vader. After a pitched battle, they defeated the sith lord and took him into custody.

Personality and traits
Despite being considered a grey jedi, Ryn always felt that he had to help his allies whenever he can. He is a caring individual who will draw on the dark side before seeing his allies hurt.

Powers and abilities
Ryn never used the force in the same way as most other jedi. Instead he used it to increase his speed when in battle.
