Background
Dao Jodh and his people lived in peace and contemplation on a world they
called simply "Home," and the rest of the galaxy referred to as Jiran VII. Many generations ago, Dao's ancestors turned their back on the rest of the galaxy and focused their gaze inward, toward inner peace and contemplation.
Dao found the regimented and contemplative life expected of him boring
His mentors told him that he was gifted, that he had more potential for
enlightenment than any before him. They encouraged him to focus on his
studies and unlock the mysteries within him. Nothing could be more tedious, but knowing no other life, Dao did his best.
One day, Do's monastery was visited by strange people offworlders.
Suddenly, a whole galaxy of possibility, of diversity and difference and
experience, seemed available to Dao. He plagued the visiting scholar, Hethan Romund, with questions, and she indulged his curiosity with as many answers as she could manage. She spoke of the great cities of the Core Worlds, of the fallen Jedi Order, of the crystal canyons of Chandrila and the oceans of Dac, a thousand thousand things Dao had never dreamed of seeing.
Dao became convinced that the outsiders' arrival was no accident- that
they were calling him to his destiny. He asked the elders of his monastery for permission to leave. They denied him, and told him that his destiny was to be the Savior of his people. They insisted that he should put such notions out of his head, for the ordeals ahead of him would be great. Dao snuck out that night and, in the morning, followed the offworlders to their ship, stowing away aboard it.
Since then, Dao and the Togruta Kaveri have traveled the galaxy together. Dao is always eager to find new worlds and people and see the stunning diversity the galaxy has to offer, while remaining true to the peaceful wisdom of his upbringing.
If he sometimes feels guilty for abandoning his people, he doesn't mention it. But when a message came in from Romund requesting help, he was very swift to respond. Perhaps soon he will be ready to return to Home. But not yet.

Emotional Weakness: Obstinance
Careful introspection usually leads Dao Jodh to the right answer, but this means he has built up a habit of being correct. He tries to consider all evidence carefully, but if the evidence suggests he has made a mistake, then he is as likely to see a flaw in the evidence as to adjust his course. At his worst, Dao Jodh is stubborn and willful.
