Characters in Avian Hunt

Kaffman
Kaffman is a young prodigious history professor, who specialized in studying the history of the Jedi and the Sith and how their wars affected the Galaxy. However, on one of his excavations in an old Sith Temple, he recognizes a recently planted Sith Holocron, which could only mean that the Sith had indeed returned after a thousand years of extinction. After plotting with his closest friend, Radar, and a hired Mon Calamari strategist, he forms the 1337 N00B5 and attacks the Jedi Temple to obtain a sample of Force-sensitive bacteria.

After using the Force-sensitive specimen to trick the Holocron into thinking he was a Sith-in-waiting, the Holocron reveals itself to be created by Vergere, a lost Jedi Knight, who hints in riddles that the Republic is under the political influence of a Sith Lord, and that she, Vergere, was rejected as a candidate for Darth Sidious's apprentice in favor of a Jedi Master who left the Jedi Order. Kaffman uses the knowledge from the Holocron to attempt to hunt down the Sith, from both the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic. He also becomes even more suspicious of the Jedi, especially Mace Windu, as the Holocron suggests Vergere's contempt for the narrow-minded ways of the Jedi.

Kaffman goes on to lead the 1337 N00B5 throughout their existence, influencing battles in oft-overlooked ways and turning the tides of war, whether it be the Republic or the Empire in power, until finally meeting his death in the Unknown Regions in a climactic conflict with the Empire, the Yuuzhan Vong, Zonama Sekot, and the Chiss, when his Eta-3 is shot down by Darth Vader.

Kaffman is a passionate, decisive character with sound logic and a knack for finding things that others don't want to be found out. His ability to know the motivations of beings (which he credits to his lifelong study of history) is helpful in recruitment and when forging secret agreements. He believes in the truth, though thinks truth can be twisted by evil men like Mace Windu. Some of his conspiracy theories are excessive, especially those regarding Mace Windu. He values honesty above all else, and considering himself an honest person, thinks other honest people can accept his perspectives as he understands theirs.

Radar Spectros
Radar Spectros is an intuitive scientist, with a thirst for proving himself right and a hunger for showing off his technical skills. Having owned a prototype Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor at an early age, Radar is a skilled pilot and fluent with starship controls. His understanding of technical problems and wide range of scientific knowledge attracted Kaffman to his friendship, after they met in the Jedi Temple in a tour for galactic scholarly award-winners (Radar's award being for a science fair project on the effects of Twin Ion Engine exhaust on the amounts of harmful radioactive carbon compounds in Type 1 atmospheres). Radar is sometimes too cautious with the environment when things get heated up, like in the middle of a battle. His reasoning and logic skills rival that of Kaffman's, and is often the brains of the 1337 when Kaffman is not offering any insight.

Radar fears being considered an unimportant sidekick, and often uses his knowledge and abilities in hopes of impressing an image of being equal to his best friend. Though Kaffman considers him an irreplaceable friend and an equal, Radar is not confident in his status being away from an unstable slope leading down to "techy sidekick."
