Zaros Re'Lik

Zaros Re’Lik was a Human Jedi Knight-turned-Grey Jedi, who was known as kind, calm, arrogant and, when in anger, ferocious. He experienced a lot of things in his rather short life, from leaving the Jedi Temple to falling to the Dark Side of The Force (and eventually returning with the help of an unknown person), battling the last of his relatives in a bid to stop beings from the demon world from appearing and, finally, joining the Samuratii before his death by the hands of his friend, Trysta Stormrunner, just shortly after she began to turn to the Dark Side.

From Farmboy to Jedi
Zaros was born on Sulon, a agricultural moon of the planet Sullust, and taken from his homestead to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. In transit, he suddenly engaged himself in a fistfight with another boy and, just before the Knights taking him and the other Younglings could stop him, broke that boy’s arm when he casted Force Lightning. After being dragged to the detention centre and left there for a few hours, the Council let little Zaros begin his training.

As years went by, Zaros’ skills rose with age. One thing that should be noted was that during a class where the younglings were thrown into a gauntlet where they had to dodge laserfire, Zaros managed to not only succeed, but he also destroyed each practice droid using either his lightsaber or the Force. The Masters made a note on Zaros and his performance.

Sword Brethren
One day, Zaros was in a Soresu class when he first met Trysta Stormrunner, a new student who was recovered by Tarynn Fireside from a unknown, remote jungle planet and from her Sith training. He was so impressed by how quickly she learnt each step, he took the time after all his classes were done, he went to see Trysta and asked if they could spar. After multiple attempts, Zaros managed to provoke her into fighting him. After a few minutes, the duel became a brawl when both Padawans lost their weapons. It was when Zaros was about to deliver a punishing blow that he stopped, realising what he was doing. The next day, the two of them formed a close friendship.

The Night Of The Departure
I gotta do this… I don’t want my feelings getting in the way.

It was not long before Zaros was chosen to be under the tutelage of a Jedi Master. He was selected by Jedi Master Kylas Roben but, before they could start working together, Kylas was called away to assist on a mission on Ossus. Something went wrong and Master Roben went missing, leaving Zaros to wait at the Temple for a few months. Growing tired of waiting, Zaros made a fateful decision: he ran from the Temple. Taking nothing but a few clothes and his training lightsaber, he snuck out but, before he left, he hid a letter in a secret draw on his bunk.

Weeks later, Zaros was on the verge of giving up. While sitting at a bar comtemplating whether he should just go back, he meets Master Roben, who had apparently escaped Ossus and defeated the Sith on the planet. The two struck a deal that Zaros would never go back to the Temple until he felt ready, but if they needed to he would go in disguise. They left Coruscant and journeyed the galaxy, learning from each other.
