Kaikos Kane

"The kindest man I've ever known."

 was a Jedi Knight who was born in 157 ABY on the planet Ryloth and died in 215 ABY on the same planet. Kaikos was discovered by a Jedi Knight at the age of 7 on the planet of Ryloth. Kaikos had long dreamed of being a Jedi but his friends declared it impossible since Ryloth was irrelevant to the Republic.

Kaikos was very shy as a Younglling however he grew to be very social but also had a reputation as a show off. Like his friends back home, the fellow Younglings didn't think Kaikos would get chosen. Once again, they were wrong. Kaikos was picked by a famous reckless Jedi Knight named Aaron Achaz. After a few sessions with his master, Kaikos could barely even use the Force. Kaikos had overheard that the Council was going to send him to the Service Corps if he failed which motivated him to try harder. Eventually, Achaz stopped training his padawan hands on. Instead, he made him study in the Archives.

A few years later, Kaikos was surprised when Aaron asked him to spar. Kaikos deemed it impossible but with Aaron's help, Kaikos was finally able to commune with the Force! From then on, Kaikos traveled with Achaz on various missions and they soon became famous which Kaikos adored. As he grew older, Kaikos grew more mature and stopped showing off but became a focused young man.

In 184 ABY Kaikos took the trials and became a Jedi Knight! The same day, Aaron was promoted to Master. The two parted after the Knighting Ceremony in which Kaikos promised he would take his former master's teachings to heart and swore they would meet again whether on a mission or so forth.

Kaikos became a very wise Jedi Knight and was assured by many that he would make the Jedi Council one day! However, he did not take a Padawan as he felt he was not ready and did not want to rush into it unlike his master did to him. Kaikos would keep tabs on Aaron and was surprised when he heard the story of Achaz taking on an 18 year old as an apprentice. In 191 ABY Kaikos was present in the Great Hall when Anar Velron Achaz's apprentice who had been designated MIA burst in explaining about his mission, the Sith, and Aaron's death. This deeply upset Kaikos and he went to his room not emerging for a day.

In 195 ABY Kaikos finally decided to take an apprentice. He wanted to teach Velron as he was now masterless but was informed of his promotion to Knight. He did not choose from the Clans but found a young 14 year old orphan strong in the Force named Zyle Chark and taught him. During the beginning of the Dark War, Kaikos finally had a chance to meet Anar Velron and the two talked much about Aaron and more! Kaikos and Zyle had a very active role in the war leading the Republic into many battles! In the middle of the war, Kaikos was informed that he would be one of the Knights who would be promoted to Master when the war ended! Unfortunately, it never came to pass as Kaikos was killed in 215 ABY on his home planet of Ryloth by the Sith. It was rumored that Darth Destroyer himself killed him but it was never discovered. Kaikos was remembered by many Jedi, and was honored on Ryloth as a hero.

Early life
Kaikos Kane was born on Ryloth to middle class parents in 157 ABY. Kaikos grew up to be snobby and a show off as shown in his training as a Jedi. However, he had a kind heart and was loyal to all his friends. Kaikos was popular when he was younger. He used the Force to charm many people although he did not know it. His best friend was noted smuggler Zywan Tole. All of his friends, including Tole did not believe the Jedi would ever come for Kaikos which upset him.

One day however in 164 ABY, Kaikos' village was attacked by a group called the Twi'lek Revolutionaries. Many people were killed including Kaikos' parents and many of his friends. However, a Jedi saved the day, apprehending all of the mercenaries and promising to rebuild the village. A young Kaikos was left orphaned and as the Jedi was about to leave, he sensed Kaikos. Knowing the Force to be in him, the Jedi took the 7 year old to Coruscant. Kaikos was homesick mourning at the loss of his family and friends and worried about the fate of Zywan. These fears diminished when Kaikos saw the Jedi Temple. Kaikos couldn't believe he was to become a Jedi! Since he was old however, he was tested by the Council to make sure. Kaikos barely passed and joined his fellow Younglings in Clan Bear.

Early Youngling Years
As on Ryloth, Kaikos developed a reputation as a show off. However this time, he was a loner. Force tricks did not impress fellow people with the Force apparently. As before, it was highly doubted that Kaikos would get picked as a Padawan. Kaikos ignored their thoughts but still, got worried every once in a while.

Kaikos got into lots of mischief in his younger years. Once, during pilot training, Kaikos ignored the rules and ventured into space! Many times did he get in trouble which further increased his chances of not being picked. Kaikos could not use the Force very well and failed nearly all his classes. He only passed because of his amazing dueling skills!

Aaron Achaz's Apprentice (170 ABY-184 ABY
At 13, Kaikos joined his fellows at the Pick Your Padawan Ceremony. Kaikos was forced to watch as all of his classmates were picked by wise Masters or skilled Knights. Eventually, he was one of the last 5. There was only one person left. A renowned reckless Jedi Knight named Aaron Achaz. All of the masters and their new padawans whispered suggestions to Achaz who took a long time in studying them. Finally, he picked Kaikos. Everyone was surprised Kaikos included! With the Ceremony over, the masters headed to teach their Padawans while the 4 remaining Younglings were escorted to the Council where their future would be discussed.

Early Days
Aaron started training Kaikos immediantly. First, he got Kaikos to show him the skills he possessed. Kaikos was nervous as he feared he had failed his master. He couldn't levitate anything, his athletic skills were not impressive and he was defeated by a Padawan training droid in less then 5 minutes all due to nerves. Nevertheless, his master did not give up. However, after 2 months. The results were the same except the dueling which had increased a lot.

Kaikos later overheard a meeting between the Council and Achaz. The Council warned Achaz that if he was not able to make any progress between now and the time Kaikos turns 17, Kaikos would be sent to the Jedi Service Corps. Devastated, Kaikos confronted Achaz and submitted his resignation from the Order. Aaron refused to give up and would not allow Kaikos to resign. Instead, he made him study out of the archives.

Three years later, Kaikos had made very little friends. He was also very frustrated that his master made him study out of the archives for three years! However, one day, Achaz called Kane to spar. There, Achaz explained to Kaikos that he needed to stop trying to use the Force but to relax and think of a powerful memory to motivate his feelings in order to use the Force. After hard work, Kaikos suceeded! Throughout the year, he learnt much of the Force.

When the Council tested him once again, Kaikos passed with amazingly high results! Kaikos was allowed to remain in the Order and his true training begun.

Mission to Onderon
In 173 ABY Kaikos and his master were sent on their first mission together to Onderon to solve a dispute between the Onderonian King and the Beast Tamers.
