Jedi Civil War[]
Attack on the Endar Spire and Death[]
The Endar Spire was shot by Sith Fighters over Taris.
As marksmen Corporal First Classes, Denlin and Benkins found themselves aboard the Endar Spire a ship carrying Bastila Shan a Jedi whose abilities were vital to the success fo the war effort. However the ship was attacked and boarded by Sith forces over the Outer Rim world of Taris. A boarding party led by Darth Bandon, Darth Malak's apprentice, attacked the Endar Spire in an attempt to capture Shan alive so that Malak could turn her to the dark side of The Force. Where Shan to turn to the dark side, she would willingly use her talent at Jedi battle meditation for the benefit of the Sith Empire to help coordinate Sith ships against those of the Republic in combat, However as the ship came under attack by boarding parties, most of the Republic soldiers were killed in action, 2nd Battalion Alpha led by Captain Hugo Gurragann and First Lieutenant Lathe Maggnar with the platoon had Denlin and Benkins led squads of their own to try to eliminate the boarding parties and drive them back, the plan was unsuccessful and while trying to do so things went wrong during the battle because of explosions and firepower in the vessel and because of Sith Fighters firing on it made it go out of control, however the first members of 2nd Battalion Alpha began to fall,
During the battle Salitt Okee was the first member to fall on the Endar Spire which a blast set him on fire and burned him alive in the blast, Okee was pulled from the flames alive but piror to Ellen Lo the Corpsman tried her best to save Okee but Okee dies before she was able to save him from his wounds, however all was quiet but not for long until Sith Troopers began to surround them and however Lo was impaled and stabbed by a sword in the chest killing her instantly, which a battle started, however they soon began to defend the ship and Denlin managed to take his squad, including that he was with Lathe Maggnar, Donnovich, Billĭ, Lancoln, and Sambrizi, went under Maggnar's lead and with him, during that part of the battle they managed to defend the ship which would help it did at first, eventually Benkins, Gurragann and the rest regouped with Denlin after a incident with a Dark Jedi, but while Maggnar and Billĭ scouted into one of the rooms they said all was safe to cross,
Eventually it would prove fatal in this part of the battle they began fighting against the Sith but as a Sith Trooper Grenadier came out from nowhere he was shot dead by Donnovich but the blast on impact set off his own grenades and a huge explosion because the ammunition was on fire impaled and Benkins was lucky to run from the explosion but Manadd was too close and too slow to react was blown up in the blast radius which the explosion hurled him into the wall snapping his neck and killing Manadd instantly however Benkins rused over to the dead body of Manadd but he wasn't alive and that Manadd's neck was broken, next to fall and Kampenberger was screaming over the radio and which Benkins tried to rush to save him only saw him disappear most likely presumed to have either died or captured, while in the attack however Sambrizi fell and was killed outright by more Sith Troopers popping out though the ship and nearly surrounding them, when a call from Carth Onasi told Hugo to pull his troops back to the pods, but however during the battle Lancoln the technician and rookie began panicking and was frightened seeing the horrors around him, when Master Sergeant Halley was radioed by Lieutenant Maggnar to retreat back suddenly he could barely hear because of the noise around him, as a result a Dark Jedi decapitated Halley's head, Denlin and the others witnessed the death of Halley and he and Benkins reacted to throwing a grenade at the Dark Jedi that killed Halley, however it was their that the command was given to Donnovich the last NCO standing gave the order to retreat to the pods and escape, all that was left was Denlin, Benkins, Donnovich, Billĭ and Lancoln where left,
As they made a break escape to the pods, they where being manoeuvered by Sith Troopers, however with the last remains of 2nd Battalion Alpha however joined up with Gurragann and Maggnar which Gurragann left Maggnar in charge so Gurragann would stay behind to delay the enemy, but however seemingly he survived and escaped to the pods with Bastila Shan, as Maggnar and the unit began to retreat however though during the battle, Donnovich manned his RH-35 Starforged assault cannon at the Sith Troopers but by delaying them, however trouble occurred during the attack as they got close to the blast door Donnovich fell and was killed when the explosion damaged the blast door and in the process the blast head burned part of Donnovich's face and an explosion ripped a out part of his face killing Donnovich instantly, they where forced to leave Donnovich as they began to escape, as they began to retreat making a run down the corridors, more Sith Forces arrived and this they stood they're ground however as Maggnar called to retreat Denlin was killed in the attack and he was shot in the head before he could move, Benkins turned to him and saw him get shot and also came to his aid he began to get very upset and sad but as Maggnar ordered Benkins to leave his friend behind, Benkins had no choice but to leave Denlin's body behind on the Endar Spire, although his death wasn't in vain but his scrafice allowed the rest to escape but only cost both Maggnar when he stayed behind to scrafice himself and Billĭ was killed before Aidus's friend Dak Benkins and Lancoln got to the escape pods to rejoin with Raze Abren, and Onasi in an escape pod to the surface of Taris below before the Endar Spire blew up in the explosion,
Legacy[]
After the death of Aidus Denlin, his death gradually upset Dak Benkins and his death was one that began to haunt him during his travels with Revan and also with his companions that joined him on the quest to the Star Forge, Denlins death was later avenged by Benkins when he learned that Gurragann was a Sith Defector and Benkins defeated Gurragann on the Star Forge where after he did hand-to-hand combat Benkins gunned Gurragann down by shooting him in the face for betraying the Republic, after that Benkins survived after the Battle of Rakata Prime eventually returned to Corellia and would meet his family, Benkins however would speak to his mother and father and brother which Edwanna and Rok and Rick felt devastated for his loss, Benkins would often attend to their house to pay tribute to his death,
Eventually his legacy lived on with his brother Rick Denlin, and however this wasn't the end after Benkins told Sapphire Shapris about her lovers death she was devastated but Benkins said to her he felt sorry for his loss, Sapphire forgave Benkins because all this wasnt' his fault but the fault to blame on Gurragann, eventually Aidus's child was born this means Sapphire was able to raise her only son of the family with Aidus's legacy lived on,

Personality and traits[]
Dak I do care about your family and we are trusted allies on Corellia,"
"I know we are as it may trusted allies Aidus, what about Arod?"
"Aidus and Dak I actually understand your quarrel between you and I do have respect between the both of you that is,"
"I see that as it may I think will become a great family and friends you and me and Arod will Dak, you and I will be in this friendship zone forever and we will one day explore the galaxy and the outer rim will go to places like Aldorus IV, Ryloth, Geric IV, Alderaan, Boothi XII, Abhean, Ansion, Coruscant, Eiattu 6, Iridonia, Ithor, Naboo, and lost of other planets, I mean I want to see the world,"
"That is something I want to do you, Dak and me,"
"Agreed then but will need to find a perfect ship for our travels,
—Aidus, Benkins, and Arod questioning about traveling the galaxy in the near future
Aidus Denlin was a acknowledged squad-leader of the Republic, a position he attained due to his reliable nature, A soldier who believed by doing his job by the book, like Benkins he was kind and preferring to call his friends by first names and last names, his kind personality possibly came from his paretns to which Edwanna and Rok tought him to be a good person, Denlin felt nervous at times and also felt a little worried, however when he romantically fell in love with Sapphire Shapris he however wanted to marry her but because he made her pregnant before he left to his military service that legacy must be to the fact Denlin must had done this because he was afraid he wouldn't come back,
He is known to be good friends with Benkins, Renning, and Wizz, and Shapris, and everyone in 2nd Battalion Alpha he was a friendly and eager trooper and when he was given orders he followed them directly and readily oveyed every command which was given,
When he was in a romantic relationship with Sapphire he often got teased a little for fun but he always knew he they liked to have a little bit of fun that they where pleased he found a girlfriend by that time something his friends felt for him doing the right thing,
Abilities[]
Denlin was a young soldier and a brave one, able to efficiently and expertly handle a variety of weapons, but his Heavy Repeating Rifle was his main weapon and so was Blaster Pistols where his speciality, He was a quick draw and also skilled in dual weapon fighting,
However as Hugo Gurragann described Denlin as "One of the Best soldiers" like Benkins because he was a skilled fighter, Denlin proved his skills and techniques as he fought with Benkins on the Endar Spire, and because he only wanted to survive he only wanted to save the lives of the friends he was in,
Because of this maybe he died perhaps so Sapphire would have a new born baby and perhaps something for a legacy to live on, but when Benkins took to avenge his death on the Star Forge and killed Captain Gurragann that was something he chose to do because Gurragann was responsible for the casualites on the Endar Spire when he was a Sith Defector secret agent which brought many to die including that of his friend Aidus, with the execption of seven survivors that was Revan, Carth Onasi, Bastila Shan, Hugo Gurragann, Dak Benkins and Figrin Kalisch where the only survivors from the Spire until Gurragann was killed at the Star Forge for betraying his comrades and costing many lives, Denlin's legacy lived on with Benkins, Renning and Wizz, and Sapphire, and his family of House Denlin and House Benkins, a legacy wouldn't be forgotten in there past,
Aidus Denlin's blaster[]
Like his friend Benkins, Denlin carried a modified blaster pistol based on an Arkanian design, upgraded with more modern Republic technology, He also carried a second blaster pistol, like Carth Onasi was, Denlin did carry two modified Arkanian blaster pistols, and also a Heavy Repeating Rifle as well.
