Scott Borek

Scott Borek was born in 44 BBY in an unknown city on Corellia to Fredrico and Greciana Borek. He was discovered at an early age on Corellia by Will-Tye Ford, his future master. After training years of training and hard work he passed the Jedi Knight Trials in 23 BBY at the age of 21, when he defended a tribe of Wookiees from Trandoshan slavers single-handedly. After his masters death he was knighted. One year later he was tasked with investigating the disappearance of prisoners and prison personnel on Dontamo. He engages a dark Jedi named Zell Coo-Neo and unearths a large and complex plot against the Republic. This mission leads to the start of a galactic conflict. He regularly worked with fellow Jedi Peach Spearrunner during this time.

Early years
Borek was born in 44 BBY in Corellia. It was apparent from an early age that he was strong in the Force. He won a juniors Dejarik tournament at the age of 4. Not long afterward he was discovered by the visiting Jedi Will-Tye Ford. Ford took him back to Coruscant for training.

Jedi Trials
Scott had an unusual path to becoming a Jedi Knight, as he did not take the traditional tests. He became a Knight through an act of heroism. While visiting Kashyyyk with his master in 23 BBY, he saved a small village of Wookiees from Trandoshan slavers even with his master gravely injured during the action. Not long after fending off and pushing back the Trandoshans he called for a Republic medship located a star system over. Unfortunately, his master died in his arms before it arrived. With no master and a definitive record of unselfish bravery in the line of duty, the Jedi Council promoted him to Jedi Knight.

Knight blindness
In 23 BBY Borek was sent to a prison with Peach Spearruner to investigate the recent disappearance of staff and prisoners there. After the Council led by Mason Ferus and Yoder Gree assigned Scott Borek and Peach Spearrunner the mission to Dontamo the two meet up with Bruce Jammer. Jammer is forced into flying them to Dontamo and assisting them with whatever they needed. He followed their orders so he could have amnesty from all crimes he previously committed. The relationship between Borek and Jammer started out very icy. After two days of travel they finally reached Dontamo and Scott flew down to the prison to begin the preliminary investigation and search for any wounded beings. Little did he know, but this was being masterminded by an unknown Dark Jedi and Zell Coo-Neo, looking to eliminate Scott and start a galactic conflict. Once he was inside the prison he began his search. Though his attempts at finding survivors in the facility were fruitless he continued on into the security center to gather the various recordings of the events that caused this. Once he got to a security auxiliary hangar he was confronted by the man behind this, Zell Coo-Neo. He was overseeing the evacuation of the last remaining prisoners, the two engaged in combat, with Zell escaping after he subdued and injured Scott.

After Zell left Scott went into the control center and extracted all the recordings that chronicled the massacre. Afterward he flies back to the Terentatek and soaks in bacta to heal his injuries, and await their return to Coruscant to present the data to the Council. He returns to Coruscant and immediately walks into the Jedi Council with his companion's in tow to present the information. The twelve Councilor's and two Senators that watched the data recordings were shocked at what images the recordings showed. Immediately after the video concluded the council debated as to whom was responsible for the murders. While some of the Jedi thought it might have been the work of a Sith Lord, others argued that it was only the work of a mere dark Jedi with rudimentary knowledge of the Force. The Council then asked Scott whether or not he could determine the attacker. He replied by saying that it was a dark Jedi, because of the perceived lack of dark side knowledge in his duel with him. He also pointed out that he could feel some good in the assassin and that would be next to impossible with a Sith because of the way they were thought to have trained and taught.



Personality and Traits
Early on in his life as a Jedi Knight he harbored ill will to many beings that were not Jedi or political figures and thought the Jedi Order was wasting its time helping the scum of the galaxy. Though he started to take on a more Jedi-like mindset to those very beings the more experiences he had with them. Though having a slight temper he seldom strays from the philosophy of the light side. When confronted by the petty foe he resorts to intimidation and instilling fear in his opponent with his look and voice rather then fighting.

Though he usually sports a rough exterior he is easy going, friendly and helpful once one gets to know him. He has an affinity to protect and defend his friends and allies. He is loyal to whatever cause he serves.

Powers and Abilities
As a Jedi Knight and later as a Jedi Master his Jedi peers considered Borek to be one of the greatest swordsmen in the history of the entire Jedi Order. He practiced the fighting style known as Djem So or Form V. He also became proficient in Soresu and Juyo/Vaapad.

Along with his melee fighting capability, he practiced the traditional Force techniques such as Telekinesis, Mind Trick, Force Strength, Force Shock, as well as other Jedi Force powers. He became known around the galaxy and especially his peers for creating the power known as Force Fission. He keeps knowledge of how to use it secret so it would not be used exclusively for its destructive capability.
