Eos Aquarius

"...and then would come the dawning of the age of Aquarius, and the Force of Others would be balanced once more as the dark one was slain with the fury of the scorned ones."

- An excerpt from a Jedi Bendu prophecy regarding Eos Aquarius and his supposed living spirit.

Eos Aquarius was a Jedi Bendu Knight during the Second Jedi Bendu Schism, and he was noted as a highly skilled swordsman who taught many Jedi Bendu Padawans how to properly use a sword as he did. Born on Columus, Eos was located by the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi when he was two years old. The Jedi Bendu accepted him for training, and after many years of studies he became a Jedi Bendu Knight. Preferring what he referred to as a “guardian lifestyle”, which he recounted as a lifestyle that consisted mainly of being a defender of the Galactic Republic on any front, he had no desire to become a Jedi Bendu Master as he felt that he did not have the wisdom to hold such a position.

During the Second Jedi Bendu Schism, Eos was present on Coruscant when Xendor Taral led the Legions of Lettow against the planet, specifically the Great Jedi Bendu Pyramid. Eos eventually came face-to-face with Taral, who had become fatigued after hours of fighting. Eos was able to exploit both this and Taral’s age, and managed to slay him. However, before Taral was killed, he too managed to gravely injure Eos. Before either of them fell, the Kaiburr crystal that Taral wore around his neck somehow was activated and managed to effect Eos’s life force.

Despite the activation of the crystal upon Taral’s death, Eos was taken to the medical facilities in the Great Pyramid where he succumbed to his injuries two days later. After his death, many speculated as to what the Kaiburr crystal did, as he had told those who came to see him about it. Though the Jedi Bendu were unable to locate the crystal, many speculated that Eos somehow lived on as a spirit and that his will would one day embody a warrior known as “the Aquarius” who would help defeat the dark side.
