Name: Wilkdon Rumnaheim Species: Miralukan Gender: Male Age: 54 Height: 6 feet Weight: 160 pounds Class: Non-Jedi Council member and Instructor Position: Instructor and council member Primary Strengths: Force Sight, Force Sense, and other awareness and interaction-based Force techniques Appearance: Wilkdon's skin is loose and pale with age, and his hair and beard are a stark white. He stands slightly hunched, using his staff as means of support, and the blindfold covering his eye sockets is dirty with years of use and lack of replacement.[img]http://i.imgur.com/K9RphMD.jpg[/img] Weapons: Wilkdon's staff is a unique instrument crafted himself, to aid in his skills in the Force. Topped with a special Kyber crystal attuned specifically to his usage of Force awareness abilities, by enhancing the range of his force sense to give him an edge in combat. Wilkdon is trained to use his staff in combat in tandem with his abilities, and this gives him a bit of an edge against non-force sensitive opponents. Other than that he carries no weapons other than basic martial arts knowledge. Skills/Abilities: As a master of the former Luka Sene, the native force using organization of the Miraluka, Wilkdon is an expert at Force Sense, Force Sight, and the majority of other awareness skills that utilize the Force. He holds knowledge of more "Dark Side" aligned knowledge as well, such as unwilling probing of a victim's mind, though he does not divulge that information easily, nor does he willingly use it very often. He is also a trained martial artist in both Staff and Unarmed combat, though his old age certainly slows him down. He is a skilled teacher as well, though some students express difficulty in keeping up with what they remark as an extraordinary pace for an older man. Wilkdon's age and abilities have given him insight into the workings of the galaxy, allowing him to perform greatly at the role of an adviser to the council. Background: Born on the Miralukan homeworld of Alpheridies, Wilkdon showed remarkable talent with the force from a young age. His family, two farmers who laid claim to a decent mid-sized plantation, were fortunate enough to be able to send him to the local Luka Sene academy for training. This would help define his career path for what would be the rest of his life. Wilkdon took to the schooling like a Corellian to a Freighter. By the time he was 13 years old, he was already one of the top students his branch of the Luka Sene had ever seen, and by 16 had already been transferred to the main academy in the capital. There he learned the more advanced techniques of the Miralukan usage of the Force, as well as the basics of resisting the tantalizing call of the Dark Side. Once he was of age, Wilkdon showed enough talent and skill to be inducted as one of the Sene Seekers. From there, Wilkdon was instructed in the arts of combat, his favored techniques being the usage of the staff and his own body, supplemented by his Force abilities. Eventually, Wilkdon would become a full fledged member of the Sene Seekers, and begin his work in reconverting those of the Miraluka who had fallen to the Dark Side. Wilkdon's career as a field agent was a success, with an almost flawless record of reconversion, and never being forced to end the life of a fallen member. Only one person was able to resist Wilkdon's abilities, and this memory is one he often thinks about to this day. Narlusia was a female Miralukan who had fallen during an unsanctioned trip to Korriban. She had come into the possession of an ancient Sith warblade, which had corrupted her with the Dark Side energies of its former owner. Eventually Wilkdon and a small security team would confront her on Corellia, and a heated battle would ensue. Wilkdon looked on in horror as Narlusia slew each member of the security team, leaving only her and Wilkdon standing. This was when Wilkdon knew he would have to capture her before he would ever be able to reconvert her. With deft speed, Wilkdon disabled the young woman, and took her back to the homeworld. Within the academy of the Luka Sene, Wilkdon spent two months trying to bring back the true spirit of Narlusia, and free her from the corruption of the Dark Side. He would spend countless nights in the archives, studying all he could of the Dark Side, how it corrupts, and all known ways of ending that corruption. Ultimately, Wilkdon would fail, and the Luka Sene would order that Narlusia was to be put to death. The knowledge that he had failed weighed heavily on Wilkdon's shoulders, and he would retire from active field duty for the Sene Seekers, instead taking up the role as a teacher, and adviser to other Force-using organizations, such as the Baran Do or the Jedi. When the Mandalorians declared war on the Republic, Wilkdon was already there in the Jedi Temple, serving as an adviser. He called for the Council to take an active role in the war, which they disagreed with. Despite this sentiment however, Wilkdon did not approve of Revan and his cohorts going out to war, though he did respect their cause. When the survivors of Malachor V arrived to warn of the impending invasion of Coruscant, Wilkdon did all he could to aid in the defense, but they ultimately failed. With that, Wilkdon took it upon himself to aid in the next step in the war, the formation of the various Jedi enclaves, designed to train a new generation to fight a guerrilla war against the Mandalorians. Admiring how he took the fight to the Mandalorians, Wilkdon boarded the ship alongside Master Antilles, and did what he could to establish the enclave on Valkaina.
