Ikrin Maw (Jedi Renaissance)

Ikrin Maw was a male Boltrunian Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order as a Shadow; one of the Council of First Knowledge's agents charged with hunting down those Force Adepts out of Balance with the Force. Following the end of the Clone Wars, Maw himself was deemed out of Balance and was sent on a meditative retreat to Bogan, the dark moon of Tython to meditate on the darkness within himself and bring himself back into Balance.

Early life
Ikrin Maw was a male Boltrunian Force-sensitive born in 65 BBY at which point he was identified as a candidate for training within the Jedi Order. Studying at the academy on Coruscant, Maw was assigned a clan with who he would travel through the academy together. One of his clan mates, the Purpilian Tomac Moorcé, became one his greatest rivals at the time; thought the two were always respectful and congratulatory when they were bested in a duel. Becoming the Padawan of Jedi Master, Maw struggled to conquer his inner demons and was not considered among the other great Jedi of the era. Constructing a yellow-bladed lightsaber on Ilum under the guidance of his master, Maw used it to brutal effect when pitted against adversaries on various missions. Passing the Trials of Knighthood through his raw strength and dedication to the Force, Maw sought to become a Sentinel, and in particular a Shadow so that he might hunt dark siders and eradicate them from the galaxy. During the violence of the Clone Wars, Maw was stationed on Raxus, the Confederacy of Independent Systems capital world and tasked with keeping an eye on the comings and goings of Head of State Dooku and his Dark Side Adepts. Too selfish to consider taking a Padawan, Maw worked alone and only made contact when necessary.

When the war came to a sudden conclusion, Maw was called back to the Temple for Conclave on Coruscant and presented himself before the Council of Judgment when beckoned. Standing before fellow Shadow and newly appointed Grand Master Tomac Moorcé, his old rival, Maw saw no antipathy between his superior when he was declared to be out of Balance with the Force and assigned to meditative retreat on Bogan, the moon of Tython. Accepting the sentencing with dignity, Maw forfeited his lightsaber and boarded the first transport to the Deep Core world. Once there, Maw entered into deep meditations regarding his the turmoil within himself and resolved to interact more with his fellow Jedi. Meeting with fellow Unbalanced Jedi on the moon, he joined Master Quarmall's efforts to construct a permanent temple on the surface of the moon for Jedi to stay in while on retreat.

Shadow of the Jedi
When the Temple Master of Akar Kesh, the Temple of Balance, A'Sharad Hett judged him to be restored to a Balanced state within the Force, Maw was permitted to return to Ossus, the Order's new homeworld. Turning to Master Tholme for instruction, Maw was eager to participate in the hunting down of surviving Dark Jedi and the artifacts of the Sith which still could be found across the galaxy. As Tholme trained more Shadows on Anzat, Maw blazed the trail to the world of Byss and later the ancient set of star systems known as Sith Space. Along with his companions, Maw would successfully cleanse Byss and help Masters Quinlan Vos and Jerec take Korriban for the Jedi Order. When Jerec and Vos did not return from Korriban, it was Maw who recounted the details of Jerec's descent into madness, the fatal wound he gave Vos and the Kiffar Jedi's final blow to the insane Chief Librarian.
