Fewash Welko (Jedi Renaissance)

Fewash Welko was a male Selkath Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order throughout the early Golden Age of the Jedi. A member of the sect known as the Order of Shasa, Welko joined the Jedi Order when the leaders of the Manaan-based Force cult agreed to train as Jedi and preserve their history as part of the larger Order. A scholarly individual, Welko was charged with recording the Order of Shasa's history and entering it into the records at the Great Library on Ossus.

Powers and abilities
Fewash Welko received his initial training in the ways of the Force on Manaan, studying the ways of the Order of Shasa along with two hundred of his fellow Selkath. When the Jedi Order enveloped the Selkath group, Welko attended the Acolyte Academy on Ossus for further training, ensuring that he possessed a standard understanding of the Force and its applications. During his brief apprenticeship he underwent several missions with a master which tested his abilities and drew his attention to areas of study which he desired to pursue during his career. Welko was also proficient with a lightsaber, having crafted one himself and imbuing it with a blue crystal discovered in the caves of Ilum. He carried this alongside his fira, a curved blade he had forged on Manaan. During his Great Journey on Tython he completed his training at each of the nine Great Temples, melding the technology of a lightsaber into a fira at the forges of Vur Tepe. Developing his skills as a Consular, Welko was appointed by his former leaders in the Order of Shasa to collect their holy texts and writings and enter them into the Great Library of Ossus so that their histories might be preserved. Archiving came naturally to Welko, as his connection to the Force allowed him to sink deeply into a meditative trance as he poured over many a forgotten tome.
