Elmir

Elmir was a male Jedi. He lived during the and was the lover of fellow Jedi Bekli.

Youth and Apprenticeship
Elmir and Bekli were part of the same at the  on. Close friends in youth, they remained so when they were both taken as s—Elmir by  Kirthi, Bekli by   Lishedra Nakaana. Their tight bond led their masters to become friends, and the four Jedi often took missions together. Over time, Bekli and Elmir fell in love, though they concealed their relationship from their masters. Both understood the need to control the fear and jealousy that could come with uncautious love, and were open and honest with each other about their feelings to help one another stay on the Jedi path.

Elmir was fond of his homeworld and the in general, though, like his master, he was wary of Master Tyson Dumiel's call for the reestablishment of the. He and Kirthi got along well, and Kirthi helped Elmir deepen his connection to the Force. They worked effectively as a team; enormous Kirthi could confront a conflict head-on while diminuitive Elmir manipulated and controlled other threats unnoticed.

Gyndine
Kirthi took Elmir with her to Master Dumiel's conclave of Corellian Jedi in 1,387 BBY. The next year, the sent out an Emergency Code Nine-Oh-Five, summoning available Jedi to  to face Darth Vandak. Kirthi was hesitant, believing they might not arrive in time, but Elmir pressed her until she agreed; he could sense Bekli would go, and wanted to be at her side against such an enemy. They arrived with less than an hour to go, joining a group that swelled to eight Jedi.

Kirthi gave Elmir some parting wisdom on the shuttle ride down to Gyndine, but once they arrived, Elmir took a last moment to give Bekli his love. The two fought in the duel that erupted shortly thereafter, though Elmir fought mostly from a distance, using the Force to protect his allies or unbalance Vandak. After Kirthi was cut down, he briefly joined the lightsaber battle to fight alongside Bekli, but wound up fighting the Anzat alone and losing his right leg.

Bekli got her wounded lover to safety, and Cienis Favand gave him a to suppress the pain. As the remaining Jedi were slain one-by-one, Bekli was left alone against Vandak, and Elmir used the Force to protect her. To buy her time, he summoned a burst of that temporarily diminished Vandak's powers. The was briefly weakened, and after Bekli shocked him, Elmir  his lightsaber to block Vandak's attacks, opening him up to Bekli's killing blow. The two Padawans shielded themselves from the dark side as Vandak's corpse.

Knighthood
Elmir was treated aboard the, where he received a cybernetic leg. He and Bekli were knighted by Master Kussam Bnodd, who waived the formal. After the brief ceremony, Bekli announced her intention to remain in the Circarpous sector as acting (replacing Cienis Favand) until the High Council appointed a new one, and Elmir planned to support her in doing so.
