Rhy Bendon

Rhy Bendon was the grandson of the late Coruscant Senator Tendau Bendon. Rhy's parents settled on the planet of Corellia and supported a farm for a living.

As the years passed, Rhy became an Initiate in the Jedi order under Master Urak, a Jedi of an unknown species. Bendon was also a close cousin with the Keetem's, but during his life, he remained far from them.

Rhy became a master of illusion techniques, and many people wished to learn from Urak and Bendon. Together, the two Jedi led campaigns to defeat Sith, even though Rhy became a Grey Jedi, and forced his way into the Sith ways.

Bendon passed his legacy down and founded the Helm of Darkness as he became a full Jedi. Urak did not approve the Helm, but Rhy managed to squeeze his way out of Urak's requests, and his power was concealed in the deadly trap. The Helm consumed him, and the power inside it gave him unbelievable strength, which was considered stronger than the Sith Lords themselves.

Rhy often used his illusion abilities to conquer a stronger foe, or one that seemed to have been a powerful attacker. Bendon's half-mentor, Urak, went out in means to destroy Rhy when the Helm of Darkness had fully consumed him, and evidently, the elder master succeeded.

Early life
Rhy Bendon was born on Corellia to a couple that had owned a plant farm. Bendon's force sensitivity was never revealed, or found, until he was well into his teen years, as to that point, he had already begun his legacy.

Rhy's grandfather, Tendau Bendon, had been alive and wealthy on Coruscant by the time he had reached four years of age. Tendau had recently been released from jail due to his alliance in the Senate. Bendon came to visit Rhy and his parents, and even after he left, Rhy had noticed the strings of life in which he could feel inside every living being.

Rhy remained hostile against the Sith, as they commonly came to rob and steal plants in which his parents grew. When he saw or heard this happening, Rhy had hated the Sith, hated the Imperials, by his hatred was fueling his force and rage. Only adding to his troubles, Rhy's senses and the Force was calling him to a remote planet, one he could not place his mind upon.

Bendon had explored the countless caves and vast plains upon his planet, and his exploring skills grew. He carried a rusted DC-15 pistol his father had salvaged from a junkyard when he explored, and his hunting skills were advanced to a near point that he could hunt a rancor. However, Rhy's parents forbid him from exceeding onto hunting, as they believed an Ithorian's true skill and life belonged to nature. Rhy had loved nature, as his exploring and watching skills came from that very thing, but his calling from the force kept him generally against his parents wishes, and it brought him further into investigation.

The finding of Master Urak
Rhy soon aged, and his exploring became a mere memory of the future. The force that flowed inside him allowed his eyes to see what couldn't be done by a normal Ithorian, to hear what no other could, and to think the impossible.

Bendon continued his exploring, and one day had found a peculiar creature upon his hiking. Journeying into a misty and dark forest, Rhy was startled by the being and nearly shot it. However, the green fellow used the force to react on instinct and bent his DC-15 pistol before he could shoot. Rhy conversed with the being, and the two sat in the forest and spoke about their lives. The tiny creature told him about the life and powers of a Jedi. After the story, Rhy smiled and nodded, surrendering his life into the teachings of this wise man.

Rhy brought the small creature named Urak to his parents, and the cautious agriculturists disagreed in the powers and life of the force. Possibly the only Ithorians to ever believe the force had not existed, Urak closed his eyes, and without even moving a finger, the Bendon's family farm had been lifted from its foundation.

His father, a wise man, agreed to transport Rhy to Coruscant, where he could stay with his uncle during his Jedi training. However, the eccentric Urak was unable to master piloting, and the Bendon's freighter was unable to transport Rhy and Urak. Rhy's father agreed to travel in the ship to the planet of cities. His mother had longed to come, but Rhy's father convinced her to remain with the farm, as when he dropped the two off, he had planned on returning.

Rhy and Urak, along with his father, arrived on Coruscant by the time night had set in, and the Jedi Master took Rhy onto the platform. Rhy's father waved a final good-bye, and his ship disappeared into the blackening sky. Tendau's apartment, which was furnished with unbelievable riches, lied directly ahead, and the old Ithorian Senator stood outside the door, prepared to meet his grandson again. The guards escorted Urak and Rhy up to their room, which was larger than his entire house back on Corellia. Urak explained to Rhy that his sensitivity to the force will be dealt with in the morning, but for now, he would need to meditate. Urak sat upon the bed, watching Rhy as he sat cross-legged on the rug, meditating.

Raid at Tendau's Apartment
Nearly four years had passed since Urak and Rhy had arrived at Tendau's Apartment. Rhy had reached the age of 15, and during taht time he had accomplished crucial parts in his training.

Rhy managed to keep his exploring skills still up-to-date, and he wandered the apartment whenever he got a chance. He also became good friends with the guards in training, they were a bit younger than he was, but it didn't stop either of them from building friendships. The guards would sometimes tease Rhy, however, they stated constantly that their training would go a lot faster than Rhy's would, because of the age of Master Urak. Rhy disagreed with them however, and he still allowed his hope to remain in the hands of Urak.

When the guards got their first radiation sticks, things got rougher. Then the guards would make sure they told Rhy that Urak would never finish his training daily, and even then Rhy himself began to drift. Urak had wasted Rhy's time numerously, or though it seemed to him, but he truly was building Rhy's force believance inside him.

Once, when Rhy had finished a training session, he wandered outside to speak with the guards. However, the guards were on guard duty, and unable to talk, resulting in Rhy sitting by the side of the countless stairs up to the doorway. For a time in which he could not keep track of, Rhy sat by the stairs and awaited their shift to be over, but the guards never noticed him, for they ahd ketp too-close and eye on the bystanders. Time passed from that hour, and Master Urak swaddled his way to Rhy, and handed the Ithorian a sheathed weapon.

Urak instructed Rhy to use the weapon in combat, and showed him the ways he would soon use a lightsaber. The two practiced their techniques on the edge of the platform, not able to notice that a drunken brawler had begun to attack the guards. Urak was the first to spot the scuffle, as he looked through the corner of his eye and spotted it all. Without warning, Urak jumped over Rhy and had begun to subdue the criminal. About the time Rhy had turned to see what happened, Urak had already severed the brawler's attacking arm, but the criminal had ran before he could deliver a deathblow. The criminal ducked from the slashing movements of the guards pikes, and tripped a few on his way. He charged to Rhy, and the bewildered trainee did nothing but close his eyes and throw his hand up into the air in flurry of defense. When he opened his eyes, the criminal was standing in front of him, only two feet away and staggering bakc and forth.

Urak explained to Rhy that he had summoned the Dreamscape ability after the criminal was apprehended, and that he gave him a false image of Dathomir. Rhy soon realized he had been picturing Dathomir in his head, and when he summoned the power the planet came to life in teh criminals eyes.
