Kyram Beviin

"He was the strongest of us all, and for a brief moment, I could feel how strong. I suspect he would have lived forever, if not for this one sacrifice."

- Lucien Wulffe

Born Ayjae Bindo or (Ayjae Hulis Bindo-Draay) later known as Ky'ram Beviin, also known as Exile was a male Human Jedi Padawan. He was also the grandson of the self-exiled Jedi, Jolee Bindo and Jedi Padawan turned Sith Acolyte Nayama Bindo, and son of Marasiah Draay and Jaden Bindo. He would later be adopted into Clan Beviin by the New Mand'alor, D'kyn Beviin under the alias of Ky'ram Beviin.

He was one of the first Jedi to the destructive force of the Mandalorians during the time of the Mandalorian Wars and aided in briefing soldiers before a mission. He was against the pacifism of the Jedi Council and even addressed his negative ideas to the Jedi Council along with Lucien Wulffe. He was quickly promoted to Jedi Knight and became a General in the Revanchist. He was soon cast out the Order along with for going to war.

He was also a centuries-old, Mandalorian who was known to have had an intensely strong connection with the Force.

Around three centuries later, Ayjae stopped a Sith Lord and her lieutenant from killing a Wookiee named Katarra. In gratitude, the Wookiee swore a life debt to Bindo. Katarra would accompany Ayjae in the Ebon Hawk, which he received from his best friend Mako Wynn, he became known as one of the most important people in the galaxy.

Beviin later married Phoenix Skywalker in 15 ABY, though roughly two years later they dueled, the end results in divorce, and his loss of an arm.

Early years
Like most Jedi, Ayjae Bindo was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant when he was very young, by his mother mother and father. He was trained by Gene Mei, he earned the rank of Jedi Knight at the age of fifteen, earlier the most Jedi, due to his affinity with the Force and natrual leadership.



Jedi Knight
"Step forward, young one. Ayjae Bindo, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee &hellip; Jedi&hellip; Knight of the Republic."

- Lucien Draay

After his actions at the Skirmish on Dantooine and upon returning from the Mission to Telos IV, Bindo was endowed with the title of Jedi Knight at the age of fifteen. It was a controversial decision;, , and Lucien Draay openly and zealously supported him, while and Atris questioned whether Bindo was mature enough. But in the end, the decision fell to Grand Master, who decided to have him Knighted in a small. Bindo later sent his Padawan braid, which had been ritualistically severed by Sunrider, to his mother as proof he made it into the Jedi ranks.

Death and Resurrection
After his ceremony, Ayjae secretly took a scouting assignment from his grandmother to meet a reclusive contact on Serocco. After meeting with the contact, Ayjae went to relax in a bar in one of the called Vert's Nestafter a few hours of drinking and playing, Ayjae left for the spaceport. Before Bindo could get himself aboard his shuttle, the Mandalorians bombed the planet with nuclear weapons. Support ships were sent to evacuate what citizens they could, they found Ayjae's shuttle under rubble and retrieved him. Brought aboard the Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser, the , in critical condition. Luckily for Ayjae, his grandmother came along, she used the Force to heal Ayjae. Failing, Krynda had to use her knowledge of the dark side to save her grandson.

While Bindo was passed out from the pain, his body was collected from the the med ward by Krynda in the middle of the night, and brought to the Sages' chamber. While Kyrnda worked on Ayjae, he remained unconscious, believing himself dead as he experienced a multitude of visions&mdash;of a future apprentice. When he finally awoke, he was relieved for the end of the visions, but began raging when he realized the nature of his circumstances&mdash;Krynda had used.

Mandalorian Wars
"You're just gonna let the Republic die, you don't deserve to be on the council, none of you, I'm leaving and joining Revan and Malak, at least they have some heart, I owe the Republic my life so I'm going to help!"

Life as Ky'ram Beviin
Bindo's activity after the Jedi Civil War is unknown, but he would change his name to Ky'ram Beviin, a former Jedi now a Mandalorian warrior. Bindo now appeared as muscular-featured, with a jet black goatee, although his hair still retained traces of its dirty-blonde color; he still wore full Mandalorian armor.

Bindo was an associate of Cassus Fett's son Atin Fett, whom he met on Taris during the Mandalorian Wars, the son of the Republic Commando Darman. Venku's protective, emotional attitude towards Gotab had once led the bartender of the Oyu'baat, a tapcafe in Keldabe, to think that the younger man could be Gotab's son.

Skirmish over Mandalore (3,949 BBY)
Beviin's activity during the last waning battles of the is unknown, but he would change his name to Ky'ram Beviin, therefore honoring his new clan and brother. Ayjae now appeared as muscle-featured, with a goatee turned black, although his hair still retained traces of its dirty-blonde color; he wore full black and gold Mandalorian armor.

Cold War
While on Coruscant, after Beviin killed a man, a riot broke out.

Job Offer (3,653 BBY)
Using, he leaped into the air and flipping above Lain, activating his twin lightsabers. Landing in front of Lain, Beviin slashed him through the waist, causing the Sith apprentice to flinch in shock and pain as he was cut in two. Glie fell forward and Ky'ram then rushed to his speeder bike, pulling out his heavy repeating blaster rifle, firing at Sada and Caleb, who took refuge behind a cliff.

Clone Wars
Few months before the start of the Clone Wars, Ky'ram recruited a clone of Jango Fett's for a mission to.

Splitting up (17 ABY)
Beviin also played a major role in the fall of the Royalists in 17 ABY including infiltrating the Tomb on Dxun. It was also during this time that his wife, Phoenix, learned that she didn't love, that was all an illusion. In 17 ABY, after the Battle of Onderon, Phoenix and Beviin dueled in the Palace throne room. The end of their marriage resulted in him losing his right arm and her being grievously injured, healed self imposed exile.

Personality and traits
Ky'ram faced the galaxy with dismissive apathy and sarcasm. His laid-back attitude and unwillingness to take a position of responsibility often jarred with Lucien's grimness as the two traveled together. He seemed to like exploring ruins and old abandoned facilities as such when he stumbled upon Mereel's in the under belly of the Shyrack cave on Korriban.

Having been betrayed and tricked numerous times, Ayjae was slow to trust others, yet appreciated when others trusted him. He also liked to impress people he respected, not wanting them to think badly of him. He was naturally cocky, giving the appearance that he breezed through life without a care, though after his encounter with the female Sith who showed him the Force through a different perspective, his emotions were in almost constant turmoil. However under that cockiness lay a man who hated the Jedi that hesitated to fight in the, and had some doubts about the Jedi that didn't, and despised arrogance. He also hated being used, which became evident at his reluctance at and subsequent loathing toward blackmail.

Ayjae was also a man who stubbornly refused to give up, often standing to rejoin a fight even when seriously wounded. He furthermore relied on his gut instincts to see him through. These instincts turned out to be surprisingly reliable, though this could well be attributed to his Force sensitivity.

Ayjae was a sniping specialist, and a fierce fighter who enjoyed the thrill of combat. He decorated his armor with dark red markings that some had trouble distinguishing whether it was paint he had used, or real blood. Ayjae ocassionally possessed a grim sense of humor, and a powerful drive to succeed.

Ayjae maintained a close relationship with Sari, a teenage Togruta he found in the under city of Coruscant, often trading jokes and quips back and forth at an almost constant interval. Ayjae found the Wookiee's tendency to blend their technology with the surrounding nature to be intriguing, though his time on Kashyyyk near the end of the war would give him an interest in acquiring a Wookiee bandoleer. He enjoyed. Ayjae also intensely hated Trandoshans, and kept a count of Trandoshan kills as a means of avenging the large number of Wookiee deaths.: he intended to kill 1,207 specifically Trandoshans, one for every fallen Wookiee in 3,931 BBY.

Powers and abilities
Bindo, at first, was a Force user of great potential, and he was a natural leader. At a young age he demonstrated an unusual ability to influence others, and the Masters believed that he could form bonds through the Force to those around him, an ability he was not consciously aware of. After making a stronger connection with the Force, this ability became stronger. Simply by observing another in action, like the, Bindo could instantly learn Force techniques and lightsaber forms that any other Jedi years to perfect.

When Bindo traveled the galaxy, killing hundreds in his search for way to protect himself, though unaware at first he fed on all that death, fueling his powers.



He was skilled in the art of lightsaber combat, utilizing the lightsaber forms, , , and reverse grip , and was known to have used at least one advanced dark side technique,. He was also proficient in many forms of hand-to-hand and melee combat. At the rebuilt Mandalorian outpost on Dxun, Ayjae defeated ten of his Mandalorian Knights in hand-to-hand combat at once and to no ones surprise he remained the champion of the battle circle.

At some point after, D'kyn Beviin asked Ayjae, respectively, if he would consider joining the Mandalorians, his martial arts and fighting skills impressed him. He was also became one of the few Jedi capable of using, especially in a duel against Sada Kel who could not be defeated by normal means. Ayjae remains the only known Mandalorian Force-user that used the technique to it's greatest extent.

Bindo was also a very skilled tactician. He served during the Mandalorian Wars and had, by war's end, risen to become Revan's most trusted general besides Malak himself, and the Jedi Exile, and commanded about a third of the Republic fleet during the Mandalorian Wars. He is known to have taken part in both the and the, both of which were victorious. He also proved his tactical brilliance, as well as his natural talents of leadership, after his return from exile, during the.

The ramifications of Ayjae's actions during were still being felt throughout the galaxy nearly 4,000 years after the defeat of the Sith Triumvirate. The Jedi, the Exile trained would go on to resurrect the all-but-decimated Jedi Order. Furthermore, the actions he took at Onderon and Telos would ensure the solidification of a Republic that, because of the Great Sith War, the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War, had been teetering on the edge of collapse, prolonging its existence for several thousand more years.

Jedi training
"I am the Kad of the Knights. You are like tempered beskar, purposeful and razor-keen. Always you shall be in the front rank, a tracyn'la brand to your enemy, a brilliant fire to your vode. Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow that you cast."

- Ky'ram Beviin

Ayjae was known as a highly skilled warrior, While he was stuck on Taris, he participated in the Taris dueling ring to earn some credits. Under the alias of the "Mysterious Stranger", a alias Revan used decades earlier, Ayjae defeated the top ten duelists, Frey Duv, Gir, Cal, Brash, Ben Vessa, Leumas Noskcaj, Mada Al'isk, Veela, Tytus Li, and Starkiller to become the champion. His dueling sparked the interest of the Trandoshan hunter Dak Gorse, who only fought in death matches. Perhaps one of Ayjae's more impressive feats was his single-handed slaying of a pair of terentatek in the depths of the ancient Jedi Master Shan Las's tomb on Tython. Finally, Ayjae was able to fight his way through the entire compliment of battle droids, Republic troopers, and Jedi stationed on Tython, and was able to defeat both despite his destructive powers being augmented by the strong dark side alignment of Dromund Kass.



Force powers
Bindo was an incredibly talented and diligent student of the Force&mdash; one of the most gifted of his time&mdash;and eventually, by all accounts, became a very powerful Force practitioner. As one of the few individuals in galactic history to reach the heights of Sith power and reject it, he proved himself highly skilled in the use of both the light and dark sides of the Force.

As a Sith Lord, Ky'ram used a variety of Force powers. He could use the Force to create a whirlwind of Force energy that would encircle his opponent. He also used the Force to grip and choke his enemies, and was proficient in the use of, and was able to use the dark side of the Force to tap into his innermost fears, pain and hate, and convert them into intense anger, channeling it to increase his speed, strength, and ferocity. Ky'ram also used powers that were able to afflict his opponents, and was capable of using the Mind trick. He also used the Jedi healing technique. Though the full extent of Beviin abilities is unknown.

Other abilities
"Ayjae Bindo later known as Ky'ram Beviin was truly a great Jedi, he showed courage, skill and heart, when he left the Order, that is why I respect him children, that what it means to be a true Jedi Knight."

- Jocasta Nu, to a group of younglings

Ky's ingenuity as a battlefield commander would earn him the undying respect of both the Jedi, Sith and Echani warrior cultures as according to the Jedi Master, Ky'ram represented a supremely worthy foe&mdash;one that both embodied their philosophies and showed them their weaknesses. The, on the other hand, believed that Ky'ram represented the epitome of what one could achieve in the arts of war, and that his skill was born out of a highly advanced.

"What can I say? I'm a talented individual."

- Ayjae Bindo

In addition to his combat prowess, Force mastery, and clever battle strategies, Ky spoke and comprehended a variety of languages, including Binary, she could also speak and comprehend Basic, Huttese, Mando'a, and Twi'leki languages. It is known this was an intuitive understanding.

Like Anakin Skywalker and Revan, Ayjae was a skilled mechanic. According to Lucien Wulffe, the first of his teachers, Ayjae exhibited a natural talent and interest in machinery, particularly droids. While Lucien held a great deal of pride for his student's unique abilities with the Force. "Years later, Lucien stated to A'den that he believed Ky's talent for building droids stemmed from his desire for followers that obey orders without question. With that in mind, Ky would come to succeed in redesigning his ideal droid not long after the Sith Emperor recreated him into the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Ayjae proved himself adept at racing swoops. His first known taste of the sport was on Tatooine, where he defeated the veteran Black Reapers racer Kije, taking the Sector Championship. He continued to compete professionally, eventually winning both the Telos Citadel Station, Nar Shaddaa, Onderon championships, and was also proficient at playing, a popular card game in which the goal was to reach twenty without going over.

Relatioships
During his life, Bindo had several relationships.

Elliah
Elliah knew Ayjae when he was first part of the Jedi Order, before the Mandalorian Wars. As a student in the Jedi Order who needed a Master, Elliah wanted Bindo to be her Master above all else. However, when Bindo left to aid the Republic by fighting the Mandalorians, Elliah was left without a mentor and thus left the order to work with the Republic as medic and scientist. While investigating the ruins on Telos, ten years after the Mandalorian War, she met Bindo again. Though at first she denied knowing him, she confessed that Bindo did know her. Bindo regretted causing such a rift in Elliah's future and so he trained her as a Grey Jedi Guardian.

While traveling with Bindo, Elliah found himself at odds with the pilot Elaina. Both seemingly desired Ayjae, although Elliah's love was more of admiration of his strength and leadership, which was heightened by his beauty. When Ayjae attempted to isolate himself after meeting with the four Masters on Dantooine and learning the truth about his powers, Elliah sought him out and reassured him, saying that she did not agree with the Council, and that she and the others were there by their own choice.

Sada Kel
His first serious relationship occurred during the time Bindo was working for the Sith Empire during the Cold War. Being his fellow Sith, Sada Kel "replaced" a position of Bindo's girlfriend after his romance with Elliah. In time, the initially harsh woman became more attached to Ayjae. Despite their former rivalry the two would continue to work together and live on board the Ebon Hawk.

Phoenix Skywalker
"Master, I can tell you that she's going to be impossible to reprogram."

- HK-52

When Ayjae first met Phoenix, he was unsure what to think of her, as she was his first female teacher. His initial interactions with her were awkward, though he quickly grew more relaxed. He noted her effort to seem lighthearted towards him, and he soon started to enjoy her presence, something he chided himself for. As they grew closer, he began to fear that he would have to take action lest they develop a rapport. After his reconstruction on-board the Siit Besu'lisk, Ayjae rescued her in spite of Vader's order to sever all connections to his past, for reasons he himself wasn't sure about.

To a certain extent, he desired Phoenix. However, with his secret out, he was able to bring her fully into confidence, and he began desiring to keep her in his life, to the extent that he started considering the idea of leading the Imperial fleet in earnest rather than returning to a boring mercenary career and the Jedi. However, the choice was taken from him when Phoenix betrayed him. Having lost his sense of loyalty to the her cause, he finally admitted his love for Phoenix. His compassion for her was what ultimately pushed him to embrace the dark side of the Force.

Behind the scenes
Originally I couldn't make up my mind for a name so he went on Xbox Live and asked a friend (A'tin Ordo) for help the friend suggested Ky'ram Beviin due to my violent nature, then a few weeks later I thought of KotOR's Jolee Bindo and thus Ayjae Bindo was born.

The name Ayjae originally came from the in academy on Korriban near 's room in.
