Takaris Gold

Takaris Gold was a Mon Calamari Jedi who survived Order 66 by escaping to the planet of Artus Prime.

Early Life
Takaris was born on the aquatic planet of Dac, where he lived with his family in the undersea city of Aquarius. When he was young, he was discovered by the Jedi Master, Kaim. He was brought to the Jedi Temple for training, where he was placed in Krakana Clan. He wanted to become a Jedi Archeologist when he was able.

Order 66
While on a training mission away from Coruscant, the Star Destroyer that was transporting the younglings was shot down over the planet Dimock. The younglings managed to survive by getting into an escape pod and jettisoning to the planet's surface. They were eventually rescued by the Jedi Tadra Kren, Yulo Gart and Molkir Tyd. However, while they were being escorted to a spaceport, the Clones turned on them due to the activation of Order 66. The Jedi managed to escape by hijacking an RTT and fleeing into the wilderness. The Jedi knew that they could not run forever, and so Tadra ordered Molkir to flee and take the younglings with him. They eventually managed to reach a spaceport and used The Force to have a smuggler take them to Artus Prime.

Exile
When they arrived on Artus Prime, Molkir agreed to teach the younglings everything he knew about The Force. He trained the padawans for fifteen years. However, due to the only water on the planet being toxic, Takaris was unable to swim, and as a result, forgot how to swim. Takaris eventually became a skilled dualist. One day however, one of Takaris' fellow padawans, Kori Dannus, attempted to kill Molkir. Takaris and the others attempted to stop Kori, but were overpowered one by one. Takaris managed to hold off Kori for two minutes before Kori broke Takaris' arm by throwing a large rock at it, before knocking him unconscious by throwing him against a cliff wall. When he came to, Takaris found out that Kori had been defeated and exiled.
