Hen-Wil Shakriv

Hen-Wil Shakriv was a Dantooinian Jedi Knight who fought in the Clone Wars. Trained by Adja Fiztose and then Kit Fisto after the former left the Order, Shakriv went on to become Master to Callin Drolum. The two were killed during Order 66.

Early Life
"'Who's going to want a half-trained padawan?'""'I don't. I want the honour of completing that of a promising and good young Jedi.'""- Shakriv and Kit Fisto"Hen-Wil Shakriv was born in the year 54BBY on the planet Dantooine. At age three he was discovered by Jedi Knight Emaj Bunin and her padawan Adja Fiztose, and taken to Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi himself. In 44BBY, at age ten, he was taken on as Fiztose' own apprentice after the older Jedi passed the trials. An introverted and studios padawan, Hen-Wil trained under Adja for seven years, until in 37BBY Adja abruptly left the order and Kit Fisto became Hen-Wil's new master for the remainder of his apprenticeship. The two quickly became good friends as well as master and student.

Upon passing the trials in 33BBY, Hen-Wil did not immediately take an apprentice, still having some doubts owing to Adja's abandonment of his own training. He fought alongside Yoda and many other Jedi when the temple was attacked by the Yinchorri rebels, fighting off the incursion successfully. This event and the re-emergence of the Sith during the Naboo crisis the following year helped settle his trepidations, and he took on Corellian Jedi Youngling Callin Drolum as his padawan.

The Truth Revealed
"'You have always been weak, Hen-Wil.'""- Adja Fiztose to Shakriv"In 22BBY Hen-Wil and Callin were sent to Ilum to investigate a mysterious attacker there. The attacker turned out to be Adja, now turned to the dark side of the force. A ferocious duel followed that led to Callin being injured and Hen-Wil and his former Master trapped in an antechamber of the crystal caves, where they continued their exhausting battle. It was only ended when they awakened an enraged alpha gorgodon, which allowed Adja to flee and block the only remaining exit, leaving Hen-Wil to have to fight the gorgodon alone. The Jedi finally killed the massive creature, despite his lightsaber being destroyed in the process, and upon its death he discovered a bizarre growth of saber crystals on its back, the primary one of which was purple. Hen-Wil took the crystal, as well as a tooth from the gorgodon, and with the help of Callin lifted the rockslide and the two left. It would not be the end of their long day however, as upon leaving the planet and coming back into transmission range they found a message from Mace Windu, sent hours before, ordering all Jedi to convene on Geonosis to help rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Clone Wars
"'Good to see you could get here to help!'""'Well, that's me, fashionably late! Besides, you didn't expect me to let you have all the fun, right master?'""- Kit Fisto and Shakriv at the tail end of the Battle of Geonosis"Hen-Wil and Callin arrived at the tail end of the battle, and assisted Kit Fisto in finishing off the last of the CIS forces who had yet to flee. Upon returning to Coruscant and the Clone Wars being officially declared, Windu decided Callin had been through enough on Ilum to count as passing his trials and was made a fully fledged Jedi Knight. Hen-Wil constructed a new purple lightsaber incorporating the gorgodon's crystal and tooth, and he and Callin were tasked with leading a spec ops team of Clones.

The group engaged in many special missions throughout the war, but during his leave Hen-Wil never stopped searching for Adja. In 19BBY he and Callin finally tracked him to Yavin IV. Here, Adja explained he left because he'd become suspicious of the corruption in the senate and could no longer swear fealty to the Republic, so went on a journey of his own. During his travels he heard whispers of the names Palpatine and Demask in connection with the dark side, and upon return to the inner core discovered the former was now supreme chancellor. He took this to mean the Sith could not be stopped and he'd be better joining them, and had been in training to try and usurp Count Dooku as Sidious's apprentice. The Jedi did not believe Adja's words, and battled him again. Hen-Wil managed to get his former master at his mercy, but would not deliver the killing blow. When Adja took advantage of this to make a swing for Hen-Wil's neck, Callin killed the Sith himself. Finally free of his last loose end, Hen-Wil and Callin returned to Coruscant for brief recuperation and mediation on the event.

Their rest would be cut shorter than expected when the separatists attacked the capital itself. The duo helped fend off the droid incursion into the senate building, but when the enemy abruptly withdrew Hen-Wil discovered from Fisto that they had taken the chancellor. The seeming CIS victory was short-lived, as soon Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker returned from a successful rescue mission with the further news that Count Dooku, mastermind of the separatist armies, had been killed. This turn of events rallied the republic's armies, and Hen-Wil and Callin immediately re-entered the fray.

Death
"'Jet? What's Order 66?'""'... It will be done, my Lord.'""- Callin Drolum and Captain Jet"After a routine mission on Hen-Wil's home planet of Dantooine, the Jedi and their troops were in the mess hall on their ship all enjoying themselves when Captain Jet's communicator lit up. A hologram of a hooded figure appeared and told the clone to execute Order 66. After a few moments of tense silence, broken only by the Jedi Knights' questioning, Jet replied affirmatively, and the hall erupted in gunfire.

Hen-Wil and Callin, on the ready thanks to sensing a tremor in the force, managed to get away and hole up in the medbay. They successfully fought off all attempts to get in, despite almost debilitating wave after wave of sadness radiating through the force from the Galaxy. After nearly an hour of silence, the Jedi realised the ship was beginning to tilt awkwardly. Carrying out their orders until the end, the clone pilot crashed their ship into an uninhabited moon.
