Mandon Durandu

Mandon Durandu was a Tarisian Jedi Master and father of Jarn Durandu and Elanna Durandu, and grandfather of Zorin Durandu and Alya Durandu.

Background
Mandon was born on Taris, one of many part of the long-running Durandu family. His father and his mother were wealthy enough to live in the Upper City, and Mandon entered the Jedi Academy at age five. He trained under a younger Indui Indal, who mentored him too. Indui saw so much potential in Mandon that he asked the others of The Six; Yyral, Alestar Cadalor, Q'Shar Bureen. Adooli Adar, and Dagaros Virethi to observe his skills in the Force. Mandon graduated as a Jedi Knight after ten years under the guidance of Indui. Both men went their seperate ways; Indu travelled to Cerillia to guide the Jedi there, and Mandon returned home to Taris and established a Jedi Academy. Not long after he met Lirecila, and they married three months after on Taris. Two years later their first child, Elanna was born, and both mother and child survived despite doctor's suspicions that Lirecila would die. Then ten years after Jarn Durandu was born, and Lirecila died soon after giving birth. Mandon was destroyed, but he knew he had to raise his children. As Jarn matured he trained Elanna to become a Jedi. Nine years later she left to fight in the Jedi Wars, and Mandon turned to train his son. After a brief seven year training, Jarn left also to fight alongside his sister. Mandon was alone, and he had plans to train many more. These were cut short by Darth Salidius, Darth Drakenaereus's finest servant, who ordered Sith Acolytes to sack Mandon's apartment and kill him.
