Biography[]
Early life (4,023 BBY-4,002 BBY)[]
Childhood[]
Adol Tash was born in 4,023 BBY, the only child of two lower-class nerf herders, Alsar Tash and Sigrid Tash, on Alderaan. He would later recall that he lived an unremarkable childhood, and had humble dreams of becoming a local business owner making enough of a living to support his parents in their old age.
He was naturally charming and charismatic, however, he was of an inquisitive nature and he made learning one of his top priorities. In his free time, he would often choose to go into seclusion and engage in intellectual pursuits, such as studying literature and politics and toying with technological devices simply to learn the mechanics behind them.
On the other hand, he also kept himself in good health by engaging in sports and physical activities regularly, and oftentimes, he surprised his peers with how agile and strong-willed he could make himself. He earned the title of most valuable player on both his local grav-ball and football teams for two consecutive years. His success in these fields could be attributed to his surprising and unprecedentedly large midi-chlorian count of approximately 7,000 per cell. It was clear to his parents that he was one with the force, but never told him because they knew that he'd then strive to join the Jedi Order, and they didn't want his dreams to be crushed if he wasn't accepted, or worse, for him to get accepted and then die in the line of duty.
Leaving Alderaan[]
Once Adol Tash came of age, he too became a nerf herder. He quickly learned that moving the herd was the easy part, and that fending-off predators was what made the job so hazardous. When at work, he always carried with him a large wooden pike that he had fastened out of wood to be his weapon. He was very capable with his primitive weapon.
After an eleven-year old Adol saved his mother from a pack of ravenous Alderaan wolverines and made supper out of them in 4,011 BBY, his mother felt guilty for having kept her knowledge of the Force from him. In the aftermath of this event, both of his parents changed their perspective and decided to push him to leave for Coruscant and to join the ranks of the Jedi.
Adol was first taken to the capital city of Alderaan, Aldera, for the next flight to Coruscant. After exchanging goodbyes, Adol boarded a flight to the capital of the Galactic Republic and departed, unsure of wether he would ever see his parents again.
Becoming a Jedi Initiate[]
Upon his arrival in the great Galactic City on Coruscant, Tash was directed to the Jedi Temple, the headquarters of the Jedi Order, along with a number of other initiates.
Adol Tash was taken to be the Padawan of Master Vandar Tokare.
