Ganner Slarwalker

"I must say, Slarwalker, you have a talent for escaping apparent death.

“Let's see if we share it.”"

- Darth Maricus to during the Felucia Jailbreak.

Ganner Cade Slarwalker was a Jedi Master during the Clone Wars.

Early life
When he was young, Ganner's first master, Jacen Battleboots, was killed by a criminal named Garm Antiburst. The event haunted Ganner, but with the help of the Jedi Order he was able to largely move on from the incident. After Jacen's death, Ganner became the apprentice of Sen Qorbin, who trained Ganner in a much different fashion from the more passive Jacen. Under Qorbin's tutelage, he learned the arts of Teräs Käsi and the seven forms of lightsaber dueling.

When Ganner started his Jedi Trials, he had a vision of Talzin, which he took as simply part of the trials. The vision was not planned and concerned Masters Qorbin and Windu, who believed there was a dark force manipulating Ganner's destiny.

In order to finish his Trials, Ganner went to Haruun Kal along with three other Jedi: Yula Ardinn, Bail Malakath, and Tyrral Thraxton. Ganner was partnered with Tyrral, and the two quickly overcame their differences to work together, proceeding through the Trials until they were suddenly interrupted by a mysterious stranger's attack. He challenged the four Jedi, but Qorbin came to their aid, prompting the stranger to retreat without a fight.

Corruption
Over time, Ganner and the rest of the group became close friends and were eventually all promoted to Jedi Masters shortly after the beginning of the Clone Wars.

Later, Ganner was sent to Umbara with 3 other Jedi to sabotage an airfield, and stumbled upon a hidden Sith Temple. They were quickly attacked by Sith, but Ganner sacrificed himself to allow the others to escape. Ganner, however, was captured by Darth Massikus, an ancient Sith Lord who then possessed his body through an ancient Sith ritual known as The Binding. Massikus then proceeded to hunt down the other remaining Jedi while Ganner struggled to regain control of his body. Ganner was unable to prevent the killings of Tyrral and Bail, but on the verge of killing Yula, Ganner managed to regain control long enough to be incapacitated by a sneak attack from one of the Shadow Assassins, Arek Saris. and rescued by a man named Galen Slarwalker. Galen, who revealed himself to be Ganner's father, helped Ganner break free of Massikus' control.

Chasing Saris
Ganner then left to pursue Saris to Felucia, where he allied himself with a Republic task force known as Antimatter Squadron. Saris escaped, and the group perused him to an experimental interdictor cruiser known as the Reverence. On the Reverence, Arron, one of the squad members, ran away while Saris declared himself Darth Maricus and went about slaughtering the crew. He managed to escape from Ganner, but a stowaway named Dylan revealed that Maricus was going to Mandalore in order to accomplish some secondary goal involving the Death Watch. While Ganner learned that Maricus came to acquire 50 soldiers- including one of importance named Xux-, Siri, Maricus' mole in the squad, revealed herself to be a traitor, killing fellow member Blaze and attacking Hans, the leader. Hans fought her off, and Siri returned to Maricus in time to save him from Ganner and mortally wound him. They left to return to Umbara, leaving Ganner's and the galaxy's fate in the hands of Ranulph and Hans.
