Mahri Solus

Mahri Solus was a force sensitive, near-human female who served as a Jedi General and undercover Republic agent during the Clone Wars. She eventually went rogue, resulting in her expulsion from the Jedi Order.

Early Years
Born on Coruscant in 38 BBY, Mahri was the daughter of a Mirialan smuggler named Azmiera Dashiri and an unknown human father. She was separated from her mother as an infant and given to the Jedi Order by the orphanage in which she ended up.

Growing up in the Jedi temple, Mahri developed into an intellectually gifted child who was most interested in academic study. As a young girl she aspired to a career as a Jedi historian or archaeologist and was one of the few younglings who admired and looked up to the keeper of the archives, Jocasta Nu. Fascinated with Jocasta's tales of adventure, she spent many hours in the company of the aging Master and considered her a mentor.

At the age of 11, Mahri was chosen as a padawan by a Mirialan Jedi master named Yemana Visz. Master Yemana was a Jedi Sentinel who was well trained in both the healing arts as well as more technical areas, and she enthusiastically passed along her wisdom and knowledge to her young apprentice. Under Yemana's influence, Mahri quickly developed an interest in computers, gadgets, and starships.

Jedi Apprentice
Because of her passion for knowledge, Mahri was an prolific learner who absorbed information with great enthusiasm. She was known to be a reserved and serious minded youth who was more interested in science and history than much else, so it came as a surprise when she suddenly began to develop a strong interest in high-tech espionage and hacking.

She also had a strong natural curiosity which eventually led her to research and discover the identity of her mother. She had been led to believe she was an orphan, but never really fully accepted it. She would eventually follow the trail to the truth; that her mother was alive.

Clone Wars
At the onset of the Clone Wars, Yemana became a Jedi General and her padawan followed her into battle. Inexperienced in the art of war, Mahri suddenly found herself on the battlefield instead of the library. She quickly adapted, honing her skills with a lightsaber and learning what it meant to be a warrior. Despite her initial lack of military experience, she grew into a courageous fighter and skilled tactician, earning respect from the troopers under her command.

At the age of 17, Mahri and Yemana were involved in a space battle with Separatist forces when Yemana's ship was destroyed by vulture droids. The Jedi master lost her life. Convincing herself that emotion led to the Dark Side, Mahri did not allow herself to grieve. Instead, she petitioned the Jedi council to allow her to take the trials of knighthood rather than being assigned to a new master.

Despite their reservations, the council allowed her to take the trials and she passed, earning the title of Jedi Knight at a much younger age than most of her peers. She was given the rank of General and returned to war.

The following year, she took a padawan of her own, a 12 year old human boy named Jared Rana. By that time Mahri had begun to accept undercover missions, using her keen intuition and sharp technical skills to gather intel and infiltrate enemy targets. Her handlers quickly recognized her talents the art of espionage, and she was recruited to work primarily as a covert agent. Working in disguise and using her skill as a slicer, she gained a reputation for being one of the Republic's best spies.

As the war continued on, Mahri began to grow uneasy with the idea of the GAR using clone troopers. Fighting alongside the troopers on the front lines, she had seen their humanity in a way the public never would, and she began to question the morality of the Jedi Order's involvement in the war. Although still loyal to the Republic cause, she had begun to develop serious doubts. She became more public in her criticism of the war, resulting in disciplinary action and being pulled from her undecover work.

In 20 BBY, while on a routine scouting mission in the outer rim, Mahri and her squad went AWOL. Refusing to respond to orders from the Jedi council to return to Coruscant, she was acccused of aiding deserters and expelled from the Jedi Order. Not long after, more accusations were made against her, including allegations that she had sold secret information to the Separatists. Although there was no evidence to support the accusation, an order was issued for her arrest.

Going Rogue
Because she was trained as a spy, disappearing was not a difficult task. When Mahri learned she had been accused of treason, she went into hiding under what would be the first of many assumed identities. She became a smuggler and slicer for hire, using the skills she learned as a Republic agent to launch a lucrative mercenary career.

In 19BBY, when the Jedi purge began, she saw it as an opportunity to fake her death just to make sure she was safe. A pragmatic survivalist, she left her past behind her and set out to find her lost family.
