Background
An incredibly skilled duelist, Kohrin Tulé hails from the world of Mirial, like many other members of his species. Born a force-sensitive male in a largely matriarchal society, Kohrin left the planet to train to become a Jedi, though he had his reservations about the pious warrior-monks. Through training with the force and in various saber forms, Kohrin developed a passion for dueling and combat, which the tenets of the Jedi directly opposed. Despite the constant arguments, the ideals of the Jedi stuck with Kohrin, and helped him form a sense of honor. Regardless, after a few years, due to his growing ideological differences with his master, he separated from the Order, and tried to return home, but was forced to flee as the Great Purge (Order 66) began and resulted in the widespread extermination of the Jedi. Having no reason to continue upholding the tenets of the Jedi order, Kohrin left on a quest of catharsis, roaming as a sort of knight-errant in search of a new lord. He looked to find a place where his skills and combat fervor would be valued, rather than shunned as the Jedi did. Though it took years of travel, during which the galaxy experienced huge turmoil, as the Empire fragmented and collapsed, and later, the other Imperial factions that spawned from the old Empire were defeated and ousted from Coruscant by a group of mercenaries and criminals. Still, Kohrin traveled, seeking new challenges and trial by combat. Eventually, while contracted to destroy an illegal cloning operation, the Mirialan was captured by the facilitator, a Gank covered in cybernetics and heavy plate. The Gank, sensing a potential ally, offered trial by combat to the fighter. Kohrin was handily defeated and humbled by the gadgeteer, who used a variety of hidden weapons and deflecting armor to stall and outlast the Mirialan. At the precipice of death, the ex-Jedi chose dishonor, breaking his code and walking out alive, though this too had its costs. In a seemingly spontaneous act of cruelty, the Gank claimed one of Kohrin's hands, his sword hand, severing it at the wrist. Through numerous bacta treatments, rehabilitation, introspection, force healing, and therapy, Kohrin reattached and regained the use of his sword hand, but chose never to bear a blade with it again, out of principle. The process was expensive, and he traded his starship for the treatment. The Mirialan knew that holding grudges was a dangerous path, but never forgave the cyborg. Left to retrain and remaster the blade, Kohrin abandoned his quest and exiled himself to wild space, an inner hunger burning and demanding revenge...
