Miraluka are born blind, but not unable to see. As a spieces they are born with a natural affinity to the force that allows them to “see” or sense their souroundings.

Jedi knight Soovas Turze was on a mission to escort Senator Sheevan Kall to Nul Hutta to enact a treaty between the Hutts and the republic. The negotiations didn't go as planned. As a result a brawl broke out into the streets which left many casualites, including a mother and father of a small blind boy. This boy was Raekyn, a three year old Miraluka. Soovas could sense the force flowing through him and determined he was especially gifted. Thus he was taken into the Jedi Order.

Life in the Jedi Order was all that Raekyn really knew. Once a padawn he was placed under the Guidance of Jedi Knight Soovas Turze, that same Jedi Knight who had initially found him years ago. This developed into a special bond. Together they saw the beginnings of the Clone Wars. A war that in the simplest sense, violated what he had been taught his entire life. He saw true brutality of war. He began to question even the reason for The Clone War itself and question whether the Jedi should even be involved. When and how did an order of peacekeepers and ancient protectors become soliders? In his mind this was hypocrisy, and eventually led to him questioning the Jedi order and their code itself. He began to ignore his master's counsel, look to his own insight and abilities. In turn he developed an independent but obstinate attitude. Leenik could see the path Raekyn was heading down, but he continued to guide his Padawan.

They eventually led a mission to Wasskah to rescue a capture squadron that had been sent to take out a new Battle Droid manufacturing facility. The goal was to sneak in and destroy it and the army already created. Intel was wrong and the confederacy knew they were coming and had captured the Jedi, Master Ruuk, and killed the squad of clones.

It was supposed to be get in, get Master Ruuk and get out. Captain Levi's squad was placed with them. Captain Leviathan and Master Geelo's plan was for Leenik to cause a distraction drawing the droids attention while Raekyn was take his squad of troopers and free the captive Jedi. They eventually find the beaten down and tortured Master Ruuk. They made quick work of The droids guarding him.

“Rae come in. Did you find Master Ruuk?

“Yes Master I sent him out with a Tooper.”

“What do you mean sent him out? Where are you?

“Master we can still do this, I have a plan! The reactor is close by. If we can..”

“No. The order from the counsel was to ONLY rescue Master Ruuk. Meet me at the rendezvous.”

“Master if we don't shut this place d..”

“We are not prepared for that there are too many droids, and we don't have the men for that. This is only a resc...”

(Raekyn switches off com and motions toward his toopers)
“ Change of plans guys, follow me”

Raekyn and his toops successfully reach the reactor core. They plant remote charges. On their way out they are ambushed my batttle dorids. Losing tooper after trooper they kept fighting their way through halls and corridors making their way out. They were ambushed just as they reached the hanger. An impossible escape. Raekyn could sense the feelings of acceptance from his remaining troopers. Raekyn rushes in front of the group blocking as many blaster bolts as he can. Leviathan, Mind and the Shiny keep firing. It's too much and Raekyn takes a hit to his shoulder. Barely standing he continues but takes another square in the chest and goes down, conscious but unable to stand. They get behind cover around a corner as the barrage of fire continues.

Seeing the grim outcome of this mission Levi looks to Mind.

"Finish the mission. Get them out of here!"
(Tosses the detonator)

He then Pulls out his Frag. With his blaster in one hand and the grenade in the other he charges around the corner. Mind and his fellow Troopers help get Raekyn up and stumble their way out as an explosion causes the hallway ceiling behind them to collapse

Finally making It out, they make their way to the transport. Mind looks down to the detonation device in his hand.

(Whispering to himself)
"I'm sorry brother"

He activates the charges and blows the reactor causing a shock wave that levels the building.

(Soovas confused)
“ What happened to the rest of the squad?”

(Hesitantly CT-1942 Speaks up )
“They, they didn't make it sir...”

“Raekyn there was a reason why this was a rescue mission only!”

(Raekyn Defensive)
“And we completed both! Now we have that many fewer droids to ever have to worry about.”

“But at what cost? Loss of life is something that should never be taken lightly”

“Master think about about all of lives those droids could've taken. That outweighs the ones we lost.”

“Rae you cannot jus…”
(interrupted by Droid fighters firing on them)

A solid hit sends the transport into a downward tailspin and throws Raekyn out. He wakes hours later, unaware of where he is, head pounding and chained up in a cage carried by a group heavily armed trandoshans. He hears them Gloating that they got themselves another one. Eventually they break and set down the cage. Raekyn is able to throw the door open using the force. Once out He takes off running with his former captors hunting after him.

As they begin to catch up to him and overwhelm him blasts of energy fly by him. As a pale skinned female, with a bow in her hands saved him. Her name was Laa'thel. She explained she could sense him through the force and she followed it. As a captive like himself she had been alone for some time. To have an ally would be a benefit to them both.

In time he learned she was from the planet of Dathomir. As a Nightsister she gained her knowledge of the force, through them, particularly the darkside of the force and and how to manipulate Ichor.

Without his Lightsaber Raekyn struggled to to protect and defend himself. He took pieces of a Brylark Tree, and fastened them to strips of leather torn from his robes. He placed them on his knuckles and the wraps around his wrists and forearm.
In time Laa'thel showed him how to manipulate Force, and Ichor in turn. How to use it on items and through himself for healing and strengthening. How to impose his will on it.

This was not something the Jedi taught him. But his curiosity grew. He knew no other ways of the force. He was trained to use only the Light, and to use the force in Defense. And reliance on the darkside was not something he was used to. But he needed to survive. And with her guidance in his new abilities, he did. He adopted the Dathomiran methods of the force.

Eventually they run into a group of people his age. They explain that they too are three Jedi younglings, Kalifa, O-Mer and Jinx, who have been captured some time previously on a training mission and brought here to be hunted as well, but have been able to evade their would-be murderers so far, even though they have to keep moving every day to avoid drawing the hunters to their hideout. The better part of a year goes by. Constantly fighting and evading captors, he had to learn to use the force in different ways to survive. Learn to fight with it, and without his lightsaber. Eventually another youngling gets tossed into the mix. A padawan By the name of Ahsoka and a wookie, Chewbacca. Together Under the cover of night, the Jedi, Laa'thel and Chewbacca sneak to a ship where Chewbacca is able to contact his nearby homeworld for help.

Chewbacca's transmitter succeeded in contacting his people, and a Wookiee relief force, led by Wookiee General Tarfful arrives just in the nick of time to save them. And they go their separate ways.

Back at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Soovas along with Master Ruuk, welcomes his Raekyn joyfully. But can sense their is something different about his long lost Padawan. He's changed. For better or worse this wasn't the same Raekyn he had lost. Reaching out to him through the force, Soovas could see nothing but a fog.

After all this time, being back at the temple didn't quite feel like Rae thought it would. True that particular fight for survival was over, but now something is missing, as if some, part of Him was left in Wasskah jungles. Trying to suppress the darkside and his comfortability with it. The Dark and the Light warring inside him. His goal to keep both in check starts a new internal struggle...

Justice:
Throughout his life in the order he's seen the atrocities that happen. Especially during the war with what the Separatists and Sith did. The helpless being dominated and oppressed. System after system ravaged. Raekyn cannot let these types of individuals go unpunished.

Cruelty:
At times the injustice and corruption that is prevalent in the galaxy can cause Raekyn to take his anger out on those causing the suffering, and with little restraint.
