Matthew Kaan



History

Matthew Kaan was not a known Jedi. All that was known was that his bloodline came directly from the Dark Lord of the Sith, Kaan. He was not popular and those that knew him, knew him commonly as a slacker of a Jedi. He came from a non-force Sensitive Mother and a Force Sensitive Father. When Jedi Master Kavar came to Tatooine on a routine visit, he discovered the strong presence in the Force and discovered it in the four year old boy by the name of Matthew. Immediatly, Jarus Kaan gave the boy away for training, eagerly waiting for the birth of his second son, who would perhaps also become a Jedi.

Early in his years, Matt was exceedingly lazy and nonchalant to the other younglings. He excelled and lightsaber training but his training in the use of the Force was mediocre. The Masters assumed he lacked the mental capability, despite his divine presence in the Force. When his younger brother, Revan entered the Order, it was then that Matthew showed a spark of life. For Revan had an unsaitable hunger to learn and expand his training. In essence, Revan excelled in everything Matthew did not. In some ways, he excelled further then Matthew in his own talented areas.

Matthew quickly established a cold and bitter rivalry with his Brother and his closed comrade, Malak King. It was something forbidden by the Council, but it continued into the teenage years, where Matt finally showed his true potential as a Jedi by trying to best his younger brother in every way. When Matt and Revan's younger sister, Alexandria entered the Order, Matt(at age nineteen) finally matured and graduated to a Jedi Knight, something Revan had already done. Yet still, both men were still young, so it was considered a great achievement. Matthew's goal was to protect his younger sister during her time in the Order.

The Mandalorian Wars

With a hard pang, Matthew watched his younger brother's maturity shatter and his ambition grow. While the Mandalorian threat grew, his brother became more angry. He wanted the Order to make a move against the Mandalorians. For a long time, he waited just as Matt demanded him too. But when the Republic started crumbling and hope seemed to break, Revan took up his lightsaber and gathered many Jedi including the Jedi Exile and Malak King to destroy the Mandalorian threat and save the galaxy from spiraling into Hell. It was then that Matt realized that he had lost his brother to a path that he couldn't follow him down.



Despite many attempts to convince the rest of the Council to follow his brother's example, the Council instead ignored Matt and told him what they told Revan, that the threat must be waited. Matthew openly defied them, like his brother. Alexandria tried to convince Matthew back to believing what the rest of the Jedi had believed. But Matthew knew that if after all these years of lost battles, the Jedi weren't going to move now.



The Jedi Order as a whole was convinced that Matt had gone rogue and decided to detain and sentence him. Rather then taking it, Matt left the Jedi Order like his brother and they were soon convinced that he had 'fallen' to the Dark Side like his brother was doomed to do. Soon after, though unknown to him, Alexandria followed his lead and walked out on the Order.

Rogue Jedi

It was said that in Matthew's Exile from the Order, for six years, he developed abilities in the Force that were considered extremely unnatural. He discovered that his Mother and Father were killed by the Mandalorians on Serrico. Unmourning, Matthew discovered his lineage from the Dark Lord, Kaan of the past. He studied for three years in various Sith tombs until he mastered the use of the Thought Bomb. Later on, he mastered other Dark Side abilities, such as creating Death Fields and Force Storms.

Meanwhile, the galaxy was at war. His Brother had fallen to the Dark Side after Malachor V and so had Malak, now his apprentice. Malak betrayed Revan and fired on his old Masters ship. It began the Jedi Civil War that Matthew had never bothered being apart of. He was seen publically later on by the Master who brought him to the Order, Kavar on Onderon.

" Jedi are soft, you should have killed him when you had the chance...Otherwise you and I wouldn't be here...hiding as you tell me we are doing. My brother was one selfish man. I'll admit he's one of the few men that took complete advantage of what he was capable of. Any idiot can destabilize an entire galaxy. You just have to have the courage. And you have to have the ability...and he did. But he's still a moron. He shames me with baring my last name."

" Wishing death upon another goes against the principles of the Jedi Code, my young friend. ...Always remember...the same blood runs in your veins...and it would hold this true to yourself more then ever in these dark Times. And I won't deny...we are hiding. This is no time for Jedi...Not when Revan has dispappeared and the Galaxy is fearing our presence."-Matthew Kaan and Jedi Master Kavar

Beatrix Solace

At the end of the Jedi Civil War, Malak was supposedly defeated and Revan had suddenly just disappeared. It left a wonderment on the rest of the galaxy. The Exchange put a huge bounty on any Jedi found. It was said that the bounty was so large that any bounty hunter who captured the Jedi was rich enough to own an entire planet.

One of the Bounty Hunters that was given the contract from the Exchange was Beatrix Solace. She was well known in Nar Shaddaa for her power
