Biography:

Official records claim that only seven Jedi were present at the Battle of Hypori. In truth, there were eight. Young Jedi Knight Kael Arkanus was redirected to Hypori due to a malfunction of his starfighter's hyperspace ring. He was on board the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship with the other Jedi when it was shot out of orbit. When General Grievous offered the surviving Jedi a "warrior's death", Kaelan fought fiercely against the cyborg. But the General found a hole in Kael's defense and severed his right arm at the shoulder before kicking him back into the wreckage. Kaelan was knocked unconscious and when the Republic’s Advanced Recon Commandos evacuated the Jedi he was left behind, presumed dead. Thankfully, Grievous made the same mistake. When Kael regained consciousness, he managed to escape the planet, and broadcast a distress signal. Once rescued, he was returned to the Temple on Coruscant.

Upon his return Kael was fitted with a prosthetic replacement for his lost arm. Having seen Grievous split his arms in two to wield four lightsabers at once, Kael had requested a prosthesis designed after the general’s own limbs. When completed, Kael's new arm could split along its length the same way and sported a six-fingered hand, allowing Kaelan to effectively wield three lightsabers at once. When the Jedi Council questioned his choice, Kael told them that he had wanted it as a reminder of what he’d lost and what he’d lost it to.

Kael spent months retraining himself in lightsaber combat to make use of the third blade he could now wield. After almost a year of rehabilitation and training he was ready to rejoin the war effort, secretly harboring a desire to face General Grievous again and repay him in kind for the loss of his arm.
