Long/Full Version:
Background:
Born on Dowut, he had an unusual desire for exploration, quite in opposition to most of his culture. Finding a passing corporate mining ship he joined their crew and quickly designated ‘the muscle’ for their group. Over several years of employment he was trained in multiple types of armor and weapons. Due to his size and ability to overpower his foes he preferred to get up close to his enemies. And as a surprise to most he was often nearly as fast as he was strong. He could cold-cock you faster than you could blink and hit harder than a tree trunk. By age 25 he had become a brutal enforcer.
Over time he began to became dissatisfied with this role. During one transport run they came upon a group of Wookies used in slave labor. Noting their similar size (although he did tower over almost all of them) and their honor system he became sympathetic to the plight of the Wookies. He also learned their culture was not that much different from his own. He then instigated a riot and freed (most) of the wookies in the camp, and during the battle he was dramatically saved by a Wookie and in honor of their culture Grog pledged a life debt to the wookie. This naturally led him to leaving his employment and he escaped back to Kashyyyk. After several years of time both on and off of the Wookie home planet he was eventually released of the life debt when his Wookie friend died.
He spent years working in different jobs, traveling the Galaxy, looking for a place for him to fit in with his size and code of honor. It was just prior to the clone wars and he was traveling through the mid-rim. He gained a reputation as a good protector, and was hired by a Separatist senator, who became a Separatist Commander in the droid army during the Clone wars.
During this time his skills and knowledge about military tactics and commanding troops was refined. Over several years he moved from body-guard to trusted second in command. However his rise in the command structure was interrupted by a chance encounter with the Force, and the Jedi that wielded it.
After many years working closely with the commander he witnessed a Jedi Knight in action. Later he reviewed as much video footage of the Jedi he could consume, then moved onto studying the Force. He now had what he was looking for. He resigned his position, and presented himself to the Republic. He fought as a mercenary along side clones and Jedi. Due to his heroism they made a special set of clone armor just for his size decorated in the tradition Dowutin style. He was distraught after the destruction of the Jedi and so retreated to study the Force. Since then he as been at various Force Adept temples, monasteries, on Jedha and other planets to learn about the Force.
Realizing the full loss of knowledge of the Force since the destruction of the Jedi has refocused his purpose in life, and now the Rebellion has sparked new hope for bringing knowledge of the Force to the galaxy. This is his goal even if he remains non-force sensitive.

Description
Male 120 yo Dowutin, while not as massive as some he is still considerable in size and build. He stands at 8 feet tall, with a reach of 12 feet and is as difficult to move as a mountain. He wears a mis-mash of old clone armor from his time in the clone wars, now all re-sized and re-surfaced as well as an assortment of leather bindings, bracers and gloves.
Personality:
Brash, abrupt and accidentally sardonic he seems to step on everyone socially as much as he could physically. Often doesn't get the social nuances of society; tells it like it is, but is not a bully. Standing strong for what he knows is right as much as he avoids purposeful domination of others. However when he does have a conflict over what he knows to be right he will aways recommend a physical contest of wills to decide who is right. “Might makes right”, but when he loses he doesn't hold a grudge, it just isn’t the way of Dowutin.
