Anon Sel-Kerris was a Bothan Jedi Master from the Bothawui system in the Bothan sector. Born into a poor family—like his fellow Jedi Council member Ike Carcharias—his parents could not afford to feed him on Bothawui nor on their adopted home Coruscant. They begged the Jedi Order to take Anon, the Order complied with their wishes and soon after getting to the Jedi Temple they tested him. He tested out strong enough to be trained in the arts of the Jedi. He was chosen by Grand Master Yoder Gree. He rose through the ranks despite having what other Jedi called a 'superiority complex' and 'arrogance'. He served on the Council for the second-longest time by the time of the Coo-Neo Crisis, behind Gree, and was the third ranked Jedi Councilor during the years leading up to it. He took on Alec Prime as his first and only apprentice around 45 BBY.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Born into poverty, his parents could not afford care for him. They begged the Jedi Order to take Anon and the Order complied with their wishes. Soon after getting to the Jedi Temple they tested him and he proved strong enough to be trained in the Jedi Arts. He was chosen by Grand Master Yoder Gree. Despite his best efforts, Yoder couldn't fully drive away the feelings and prejudices of Anon which developed as a result of his upbringing and distaste for the people of the galaxy he felt 'caused this'. He developed an arrogance over all life forms including fellow Jedi, whom he felt were below him and 'not worth his talents'. He also harbored a hatred over humans and Bothans. Despite this he still gained ranks in the Order until he peaked at Master of the Order.
He took Alec Prime as his lone apprentice during his career as a Jedi. Alec—like his master—developed a dark and disturbed view on alien lifeforms and on the Force. His personality rubbed off on the impressionable Alec too much many Jedi felt. Alec was one of the few Jedi he felt he could trust in the Order and preferred him to his colleague Scott Borek. He also was an instrumental Jedi in making Prime a Jedi Master and Jedi Councilor years later.
He was overtaken by his peer Mason Quarrell in the Jedi power structure and his resentment grew further. However he was strong enough in the Force to hide it even from Yoder. He maintained his position on the Council for many years. Once another strong potential Jedi named Scott Borek came to the Temple, he took the side against training him and did not believe him to be the Chosen One. His beliefs deepened when Borek attained Knighthood after the death of his Master Will-Tye Ford, his temporary one-time apprentice and 'friend'.
Coo-Neo Crisis[]
He was one of the Jedi against sending Borek to Dontamo to confront his sibling (Borek's). He, also, was one of the Jedi who disregarded Borek's claim that Coo-Neo was a dark Jedi and something worse was out there. He still did not think highly of Scott Borek after the end of the Crisis. He supported the creation of an army to help the Jedi defend the Republic after the Crisis.
Behind the scenes[]
Anon was deliberately modeled after the canon Star Wars character, Dooku, portrayed by Christopher Lee. He was created to help create a realistic explanation for Alec Prime's darkness.
