Background
Second of two children, with an older sister (Bellona). As is the era, he was retrieved by the Jedi Order at a young age, trained in the temple. With the onset of the Clone wars, he was shipped off, but due to his master's death in combat, and a general safety concern, he was bounced back and forth under the care of the Exploration and the Educational Corps of the Jedi Service Corps while deliberation waylaid further tutelage. With the onset of Order 66, he was shuffled away by an assistant, ditched his robes and given some supplies, aided by his compatriot to try to save his life...
Motivation
Survival. Maybe find out more about the things he missed out on. Try not to die in the new regime.
-Discover fate of sister (Imperial Navy; he doesn't know that though)
-Possibly keep in contact with Cathar friend, Aisha.
