Chall Bekan (Jedi Renaissance)

Chall Bekan was a male Morseerian Jedi Master serving the Jedi Order throughout the early Golden Age of the Jedi. A criminal justice expert and a respected public speakers, Bekan became the Headmaster of the Ranger Academy on the planet and the Watchman of the. Sitting on the Academy's Council, Bekan's administration of the academy was attributed with the diminishing crime rates in the Undercity.

Early life
Born on the Morseerian colony planet of Morseer, Chall Bekan's parents sold him into slavery in order to continue their narcotics' addiction for an additional year before being killed during a deal gone wrong. Sold to Gardulla the Hutt, Bekan served the Hutt's harem through most of his childhood and early adult life. Well-muscled and adorned with a bronzium breath mask and skin-tight, matte-black methane suit, Bekan was able to look the part of pleasure servant despite his biology necessitating special equipment be worn at all times. In 21 BBY, Bekan grew tired of his lot in life and his exploitative master. Escaping alone, Bekan took with him his bronzium mask and other riches, the latter of which he sold in order to pay for his transport to Mos Eisley where he planned to work his way to the top of the social ladder and take down the Hutts.

Becoming attached to a local councilman in Mos Eisley, Bekan began establishing a spy ring which snaked through slave pens, Hutt gaolers and spaceport administrators. By the end of the Clone Wars, the young Morseerian was well on his way to becoming one of the councilman's most valuable assets. As the Clone Wars wound down and the Republic became reinvigorated, Tatooine officials began to fear that the galactic government might begin a crackdown on slavery, something Bekan silently hoped for. However, it was not the Republic which would challenge the slave trade on Tatooine first. The Confederacy of Independent Systems launched campaign against the Hutts in 15 BBY which threatened the stability of the Hutts' slave trade in the region. It wasn't until 10 BBY that the Jedi Order launched an assault on Tatooine itself that things changed. Overthrowing Jabba the Hutt's empire on the world, the Jedi Knights drove other Hutts off the planet and saw the world fall under the control of the Confederacy. Appointing a planetary representative, the Confederacy dismantled the slave trade on the world and stamped out the remnants of the old system. Realizing the political instability might cost him his job, Bekan hitched a ride out to Jabba's old palace in the Dune Sea, now under Jedi occupation and converted into a chapter house. Meeting with the administrator, Jedi Master A'Sharad Hett, Bekan was identified as Force-sensitive and sent to Ossus for training.
