Maxson Lathorne

Maxson Lathorne was a Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order. As a member of the "Lathorne Dynasty" he was descended from a long line of force-users affiliated with the Corellian Jedi.

Early life
Maxson Lathorne was born on the planet Corellia to the Green Jedi Mor Lathorne and an unnamed woman.

Maxson was only 4 years old when the Second Jedi Purge broke out. During the destruction of the Corellian Jedi Enclave, his mother was killed by Clone Troopers while he fled to the planet Tatooine with his father.

On Tatooine, Maxson lived a nomadic life with his father, who instructed his son in the ways of the force. until his death in the year 7 BBY. Despite Mor's best efforts, Maxson would often get in trouble with the law even at a young age and was considered to be a "juvenile delinquent". In 7 BBY, at the age of 16, Maxson picked a fight with criminals in the city he and his father were staying in. Against his father's teachings, Maxson used the force to win his fight. But while doing so he caught the attention of the local Stormtrooper Garrison. Mor was forced to use his lightsaber to kill all the Imperial troops in order to prevent knowledge of his son's force powers from spreading. However, one Stormtrooper managed to survive and send word to an orbiting Star Destoryer. This message soon reached the ears of Darth Nox who took it upon himself to hunt down the Jedi. After arriving on Tatooine, Darth Nox was able to eventually track down the remnants of the Lathorne Dynasty.

Darth Nox came face-to-face with Mor Lathorne outside of one of Tatooine's cities where Mor revealed himself to be a descendent of Zeck Lathorne. After a long and violent duel, Darth Nox managed to overpower and kill Mor. Unbeknownst to the Dark Lord however, Mor had intentionally revealed himself and engaged in a duel so as to give time for his son to escape.

Career as a Smuggler
In the absence of his father, Maxson chose to become a Smuggler and Bounty Hunter, aided by his apprentice-level skill in the force. By 5 BBY Maxson found himself in the "employ" of a Smuggler named Anduin Corr aboard the modified YT-1300 freighter Stardust Aurora.

During his adventures aboard the Stardust Aurora he met a young Human woman named Hera Rose, who Maxson enticed to join him. Over time Hera and Maxson fell in love and in 3 BBY Hera gave birth to their child, whom they named Rourke. After the birth of their son, Hera and Maxson settled with Hera's relatives (during this time Maxson took Hera's surname so that he could keep his identity hidden).

Rebel Alliance
Hera and Maxson lived relatively peaceful lives until a year later in 2 BBY when they were visited by Anduin Corr and a mysterious man. Anduin explained how he came to know of an organization centered around overthrowing the Empire.
