Clay A'den (Clone Wars)

Clay A'den was a Human Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Clay was born on Coruscant in 34 BBY. He was taken, to his family's pride, by the Jedi Order, to be trained as a Jedi Knight.

Growing Up at the Temple
When he grew up and began his training, he constantly found himself upset because people on Coruscant thought the Jedi were mystical beings worth being worshiped for their abilities. There was no anonymity as a Jedi, and Clay knew his life wasn't any more valuable than the average citizen. These thoughts grew into all around silence. He only spoke when spoken to, and never made conversation with other Padawans. One feud grew that didn't end until at least the Battle of Coruscant. His silence led another trainee, Ahsoka Tano, to believe he hated the Jedi. She spread rumors that Clay hated the Jedi way of life and wanted to ally himself with the Sith because he admired them. She also called him a disgruntled aristocrat slaver. He responded by apologizing and then kicking her down. She kicked back, but he sidestepped it before leaving the hallway and locking down all points of entry except for the ceiling hatchway and maintenance access bays. He felt that making Ahsoka navigate the tunnels would put her in her place.
