(I love you, Irita, You'll always be one of my treasures. I know the Code says not to mourn or miss those who join the Force, but it's hard. We Jedi aren't made of stone, but sometimes, sometimes I wish we were)
—Apollo Jerec Piett
Apollo Jerec Piett was a Jedi Healer, the father of Kaida, Ardin and Irita Piett; the maternal grandfather of Firmus Piett (LadyVader).
Biography[]
Early life[]
Jerec was born Apollo Jerec Piett aboard the passenger transport Force's Star on the way from Axxila (LadyVader) to Nivara IV, and was one of the handful to escape from it before it was destroyed in a meteor shower. His parents, Marcus and Liana Piett, made it to the escape pod with him and his sisters, Akira Piett and Ariona Piett and launched *just* before a meteor obliterated the transport.
Childhood[]
Apollo's childhood was kind of a quiet one. Even as a very small boy, he preferred studying medicine to anything else. When he was discovered to be Force-Sensitive, Jedi Master Jixa Vanair offered to take him and train him.
Career[]
Apollo's youngest daughter, Irita Piett, was found dead one morning. Kaida became hysterical, Ardin had to calm both his mother and sister down. The family cried over her passing for a week.
Death[]
A deathbed promise[]
On Apollo's deathbed, Kaida promised him if she had a son, she'd name him after him. Apollo told her he was proud of her, that he loved her and asked her if she had a son, to love him the way he'd loved her and teach him the healer's way of being nonjudgmental toward other beings. She vowed that she would. He motioned for her to lean in close to him and kissed her cheek.
Post-mortem[]
Apollo's great grandson, Qui-Gon Piett, decided to become a healer like him.
Personality and traits[]
A good-hearted man, Apollo never liked seeing any being injured or killed. He always acted apathetic despite really being sweet and kind. He served time in prison after being wrongfully accused of a theft Ganner Vanrax committed, she had six children to take care of and had stolen supplies to care for them. He told the guards he was responsible instead. During his incarceration, he met the Twi'lek who would become his first Padawan, Zew'ku.
