Biography

Jedi Training

"The Force is strong in you, youngling. Incredibly strong. But your future is difficult to see. And that is not something that should go unnoticed."

— Rath Nir

Kaycen Varrus (8 BBY) was born and bred to be a Jedi Knight. Despite his natural skill in the Force, he almost didn't have the chance to become a Jedi. He was seven years old when he was discovered on Tatooine by an elderly Jedi Master. Though he had deemed the boy to old to begin training he brought him to his allies nonetheless. It was amongst these other Masters that a Nautolan Jedi Knight named Rath Nir decided to take Varrus as his padawan. For the next several years Varrus lived and trained with his new master, eventually joining the ranks of the New Jedi Order with him as well. It was shortly after their admittance to the Order that Rath Nir was pronounced a Jedi Master and Kaycen a Jedi Knight.

City of the Jedi

"You remind me a lot of myself when I was younger, Kaycen. In part, that frightens me."

— Cazzik Wyn

Kaycen was one of the first to arrive at the City of the Jedi. He set foot on the planet days after the invasion attempt by the Cylon Imperium. Immediately he took a leadership role in aiding the relief efforts and the rebuilding of the damaged sections of the city. He caught the attention of the leader of the Kora Jedi Council, Cazzik Wyn. Master Wyn appointed him an ambassador for the City, sending him out on numerous delegation missions. Varrus soon struck up a friendship with Jaina Wyn, Cazzik's daughter, that eventually became a romantic relationship. This, of course, forced him into more contact with Cazzik, whom had taken him on as a sparring partner, to train him to use his saber with even more skill. It was because of this training that led Cazzik to order Kaycen to the front lines during the Xen'Chi invasion of the City. Though most from the front lines returned either dead or with major wounds, Kaycen only had a few minor cuts and bruises, thus furthering his reputation as a warrior of supreme skill. Some even said one day he would rival Master Wyn as a swordsman.

The Hunt for Sion

"It is because of your leadership abilities and your skill in battle that I have chosen you to lead this task force. Proceed with caution, Kaycen. Your enemy is not one that should be underestimated."

— Cazzik Wyn

Master Wyn received startling news from the vigilante Strife telling of a Dark Master that feeds upon the life essence of those he comes into contact with. This master, known as Sion, is also none other than Cazzik's son, Caius. Placed in charge of a Jedi task force with Guan Blackthorne as his second in command, he has was charged with bringing Sion to justice, dead or alive. The task force set out to accomplish their mission but ultimately met with defeat. Though well trained all of them were, they were no match for the sheer power that Sion commanded. They caught up with the Dark Jedi on a remote world where he had devoured the knowledge of several Sith spirits. Sion had become a Sith Master and while devouring the last of the spirits in front of the task force, the ghost renamed him Darth Terris, the Lord of Terror and promised the Jedi that this new Sith would be one of the greats. The Sith Lord turned his attention to the Jedi and their Antarian Ranger allies. Almost every member of the task force was killed. Very few, including Guan Blackthorne, excaped to tell the tale of what had transpired. Kaycen, himself, was defeated by Terris and taken as an apprentice after the Sith broke him down again and again. Upon his vow of allegiance to Terris the Sith Lord renamed him: Darth Caedus, the Lord of War.
