Resh Gillom was an Ithorian male Jedi Knight who lived during the Old Sith Wars.
Biography[]
Born on Ithor, Resh Gillom was taken into the Jedi Order at an early age and trained in the ways of the Force. He eventually came under the tutelage of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell and had achieved the rank of Jedi Knight by the time of the Mandalorian Wars. Against his master's wishes, Gillom joined the Revanchist's group of Jedi Knights to fight against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.[1]
Following the Battle of Malachor V, Gillom, along with several other Revanchists, fell to the dark side and ended up joining the Sith Empire of the newly-declared Darth Revan. Serving as a Sith Marauder, Gillom fought in the subsequent Second Sith War and slayed many of his former fellow Jedi. Towards the end of the conflict, Gillom was confronted by his master on Arthon. Despite Master Ell's attempts to bring his former Padawan back to the light, the Jedi Master was forced to execute Gillom when the latter attacked him.
After Gillom's death, Zez-Kai Ell recovered his Padawan's lightsaber and later gave its energy cell fixture to Chodo Habat, a member of Gillom's herd. Habat would then later offer the fixture to Jedi Exile Meetra Surik, one of Gillom's former comrades.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The character of Resh Gillom was created to expand on the canonically-unnamed Padawan of Zez-Kai Ell. After the choice was made to make the Padawan an Ithorian, the author decided to merge the character with the similarly unnamed Ithorian Jedi of Chodo Habat's herd.
