Tyrn Lightell

"My son, your path leads you away from the people of Serenno you serve, and your family. But do not forget your heritage, nor the responsibility that comes with the heritage. Do this, and yours will be a light that shines for many years"

- Hal Lightell to his infant son Tyrn

Tyrn Lightell was an esteemed Jedi Knight during the time of The Great Sovereign Crusades.

Jedi Training
The Jedi Order of old differed very much from that of today. One of the Order's deepest traditions was the training of a Jedi was to begin at infancy, no later. This was due to personality issues that could develop outside of Jedi influence. Tyrn Lightell was no exception. Born to father Hal and mother Tyress, Tyrn was discovered from a very young age to be Force Sensitive. Luckily, the Jedi were scouting Tyrn's homeworld of Serenno while the boy had not even reached a single year of age. Tyrn's parents knew that his removal was necessary for the continuation of Jedi tradition, and for Tyrn's own wellbeing.

Tyrn was watched over by Grandmaster Khaluq Chan'drane from a young age, and while it was unlikely the woman ever knew the boy well, or even noticed him overly, Tyrn found himself seeing her as a distant mother figure. Her detatchement from the world rubbed off on Tyrn, and he followed Khaluq's example, not letting matters bother him easily, and he found himself an adept of the Living Force, his mind remaining to the present, rather than attempting to find hints of the future. In this aspect, Tyrn stunted his own growth as a Jedi, a mistake that would only be discovered many years later.
