Motivation
Boodruk is a passionate believer in a Force that he can only faintly perceive. His parents had felt the same way and had died for their allegiance to the Jedi. Boodruk has no interest in the Jedi or the Sith, traditions that sought to control and define the Force. He believes in the Force Eternal, aspects of which have been celebrated by cultures across the Galaxy, long before Jedi/Sith dogma.
