'''Jagan''' is a Human Dark Jedi and a veteran of both the Galactic civil war and the Seventh Great Jedi War. Famously a nomad, Jagan has yet to settle down in any one place for too long since he left his home on Onderon, and while he is quick to form friendships, he is just as quick to leave them behind. It was once true that Jagan's only goal in life was the pursuit of war, and the rush that it gave him in the heat of battle surrounded by thousands, yet more recently he has grown tired of the constant conflict within the galaxy.


<b>Jagan Roda</b> is a Human from the planet Onderon. A former Jedi, he abandoned the order shortly after the Great Jedi Purge, feeling betrayed by the weakness of the order he abandoned his lightsabers into the depths of the Kashyyk underworld, and left any trace of his former self behind him with it.
The one place that he could call his home though is Clan Plagueis. He joined the brotherhood at its formation and rose through the ranks to Knight under its guidance, and while brief stints as Aedile and Quaestor of Exar Kun gave him a new found purpose, he knew that he had to leave again.
After leading a life of seclusion for many years he came out of hiding around 10BBY, when he took up a new life travelling the galaxy as a hired mercenary for any who could line his pockets. In his fairly old age he currently resides in the various ruins of Dantooine, living off the great force contained in its various crystal caves and ancient enclave

===  Early Life (14BBY - 0BBY)  ===
[[File:Onderon.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The streets of Onderon where Jagan regularly visited]] Jagan was born just outside of Isis in the jungles of Onderon. He did not know his mother as she had died soon after his birth, but his father tried his best to support him. Jagan spent most of his days in the jungle and by age 8 was already highly adept at survival techniques and had the agility of any jungle animal. Without any formal training he already possessed a great skill in the force, if a somewhat primitive form. He was able to run at speeds just outreaching any Human and could camoflague himself fairly well. He did not know that he was harnessing the force, but the power he possessed thrilled him greatly.
Soon after his 14th birthday Jagan's father was killed in a swoop bike accident while crossing the street. The sorrow Jagan felt fueled his power, and the force surged through his body upon hearing the news. He could not stay on Onderon anymore, there was nothing left for him there. He snuck himself into the starport and onto a small ship which took him to a large freighter docked above.


===Early Life (41BBY - 32BBY)===
It soon appeared that this ship was indeed a rebel starship, and the ship came under attack from a grroup of imperials. Jagan could do nothing else but fight, he tried to hide but after the invading imperials came on he knew he had to fight. He found the call of battle incredibly strong and his instincts and reflexes were perfectly honed for such fights. He tore through a whole regiment of imperials and pushed them back to their ship. He was then faced with a Dark Side User, seemingly one of Vader's underlings. A fight against a saber was not easy for him, but something inside him was too overwhelming for him and he managed to slay the Dark Side User with a shot to the heart. Looking down at the saber Jagan picked it up and put it inside his tunic.
<hr>
Jagan was born to Filan and Belle Roda on the planet of Onderon, just outside of Isis. Jagan's father, Filan, was a merchant. He was not all that succesful though, bringing just about enough money in to keep his small family going. Due to his lack of credits, it was lucky even that he could afford a place for them to live, yet he managed to purchase a small, one-room house a few miles outside of Isis. It wasn't as close to the markets as all of the top traders, but it was close to enough to get a fairly good days trading. For Jagan though, life in the outskirts of the city, on the edges of the jungles of Onderon was great. Even from such the early age of 6 Jagan was able to navigate the forests easily on his own, jumping from tree to tree with relative ease. It was through these long stints in the jungle, exploring, that he became fairly adept with the wilderness. He saw it as his true home and felt a great connection with the animals there.


Jagan's life was soon to be turned on its head though. On a family trip to the capital Isis, Jagan's parents were struck down by a hijacked speeder leaving the city, the culprits fleeing into the distance. All Jagan had learnt in the jungle was useless to him, his parents laid dead, and he was alone.
===  Fall of the Empire (0BBY - 5ABY)  ===
Jagan was soon called up to fight for the rebels and was sent for training. He missed the battle of Yavin, instead deciding to return home to Onderon in secret and train himself with his newly found saber. He was drawn to a small clearing in the woods where the animals were living in total harmony and at peace. He honed himself in to the force here and meditated for days, infusing himself with the light force here. It was also here that Jagan experimented with the artificial dying of lightsaber crystals, eventually altering his current red saber to a pure silver glow.


Soon after this, Jagan was taken into the care of the Isis Orphange, where he was looked after well by the staff there. They found it hard to control Jagan at first, as he longed to be outside in the jungle again, running free. He had not yet recovered from the loss of his parents either. He stayed with the orphange for a year, yet he never really settled. The other children would avoid Jagan, for he acted hostile towards them as he had never really interacted with people other than his parents. Jagan increasingly showed threatening behaviour to the other orphans to get his way, and in an extremely heated argument he nearly broke one of the kids arms straight off.  
It was odd for a Jedi to train himself in the ways of the force and in the art of the saber, yet Jagan had developed a slight skill in both. Still nowhere the grandeur that fell upon those formally trained, Jagan could use the force to benefit himself in most situations. Despite his skill though, Jagan wanted much more. He wanted to be as good as those that he had read about, being able to move things with their minds and look into other's souls. He wanted to be a master with his saber and be able to slice blaster fire from the air with ease. Jagan knew though that he would never be able to possess such power, at least he wouldn't be able to if he didn't find a Jedi to train him.  


The carers did not know what to do with Jagan anymore, he was nearly 8 now and still had found no home. The day after the incident they came to a decision. Jagan was to be sent away to the mining colonies, as it did not look likely that with Jagan's behavior that he would ever be fostered. This was not a fate the carers here had given any child before, but they had heard of it from other planets in the galaxy, but they saw this as the only way. They came into Jagan's room to retrieve him and his belongings, but he had gone. Jagan had run away.
Jagan failed to return to the rebel training compound, and instead "commandeered" a local nobleman's Z-95 Headhunter, heading off in search of the answers that he needed.  


====Jungles of Onderon====
Jagan was gone for a year on his quest, venturing across the whole universe and visiting many planets on his way. It is not known fully of what he saw while he was on his journey, nor where he went specifically, though it is believed that he came across an old Jedi of the Old Republic. His name was Quinlan Vos and apparently it was he that taught Jagan even more of the force and of the art of the saber. [[File:Quinlan-vos.jpg|thumb|274px|left|The fabled Jedi Quinlan Vos who trained Jagan in the ways of the force]]
On returning from his training, Jagan's persona had changed though. He had become more serious, less of the joker that he used to be, and he had a darker side to his personality also. Despite these changes, Jagan still wanted to help the rebels fight off the Empire, his quest only increasing his hatred of the Empire's ways.


Jagan fled deep into the jungles of Onderon, in the only place he could really call home. While there he found his old house, broken and tattered(probably due to scavenger raids that went on out here). Yet he found the vines that encased it somewhat homely, and it gave him a comforting feel. So he tunnelled inside the little house and made his new home here, using bits of old material strewn about the place and things he found in the jungle to make a bed.
Jagan finally returned to training and easily passed through all of the tasks assigned to him. It took only a matter of weeks for him to be sent out and stationed on one of the many rebel outposts. During the rest of the war Jagan became infamous throughout his troop for being the most dedicated fighter. Rarely defeated in battle, Jagan would face off against waves of opponents using his assigned rebel weaponry. He did not look upon it wisely to draw his saber in battle as he knew what fate befell the remaining Jedi in the Universe.  


He lived like this for many, many months, living off the food that he could hunt for himself. He became primitive, lacking social skills, but had adapted incredibly to his surroundings. He reached a suberb level of fitness and somehow became able to far out stretch the regular limits of humans. He adapted his own methods of focus, all he had to do was really concentrate on his taks at hand and he could move at incredibly fast speeds and jump to massive heights. This just seemed very normal to Jagan though, as he had never been tolf by other people that these feats were unnatural, only those of the order of the Jedi had ever shown such feats.
He fought valiantly till the end of the war, receiving praise from many of his superiors, yet never accepting the promotions or accolades that they offered him. Many thought this strange, yet Jagan had his own reasons, he wasn't doing this for the awards or the status, he had even doubted that he was doing it for the good of the Rebel Alliance. All he craved for was the call of battle, and once the war had ended it seemed that it was all over. He knew that he had to leave this life once more, for something deep inside him forebade him to stay. He removed the records of his victorys, removed all traces of himself from the academy, he did not want to be followed, then set a course as far away as he could reach.  


Jagan's abilities were soon to be put to the test though on one of his numerous 'missions' into Isis. Jagan regularly snuck back into the city with great stealth and stole from the various markets. Jagan had snuck past the city gates and was in one of the larger markets already, checking out the potential merchandise. He waited for a few seconds, then speedily dashed across the marketplace, grabbing whatever wares he could find in a hectic rush. Jagan was fast, but he had not perfected the art of going unnoticed yet, at least not within the city. The market tradesmen had become wise to Jagan's exploits before, and this time they were prepared. They had set up a perimeter around the marketplace to trap him. He leapt across the men guarding the entrance and managed to hide underneath a pile of rubble. He had a chance to escape, but he was blocked by a group of men attacking an old man. Jagan needed to escape quickly, but he could not leave the man here to die, something inside his being felt a great connection to him. Against his better judgement he turned around and fought off the muggers as the man regained conciousness, but with his time to escape having run out, Jagan was caught.
===  The Outer Rim Missions (5ABY - 25ABY)  ===


As the authorites began to walk Jagan away, the man stood up and told them to stop. He revealed himself to be Tor D'Jarik, a jedi. He was impressed by Jagan's considerable talent in the force without any previous training and decided to take him to Coruscant for Jedi training. Despite initial doubts, Jagan saw this as his only route out of prison, so went with the Jedi.
===  The Brotherhood (25ABY - 27ABY)  ===
During his time in self-declared exile, Jagan came across a mysterious organization known as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The place intrigued him, and he needed to know more about it. He scouted out many of the planets that had rumored Dark Side activity on them and asked questions of the organization. He came across many accounts of powerful Jedi, hundreds in number and far stronger than those trained by Skywalker. Jagan had forgotten the feeling that he once got from using the force, and had lost his passion for battle and believed that this place could help him.


===Jedi Life (32BBY - 22BBY===
Another year passed and finally Jagan got himself into the training programme of the Brotherhood, and then after many more grueling months, successfully integrated himself into Clan Plagueis of the Brotherhood.
<hr>


===Clone Wars (22BBY - 19BBY)===
It was around 2 years until Jagan found that lust for battle again, and once he did he began to show the characteristics of the Jagan of old. He became Aedile of House Exar Kun, and won competition after competition, being rewarded with numerous awards. Jagan was happy again, the power of the Dark Side had made him stronger than ever and he liked it.
<hr>


====Order 66====
=== The Seventh Great Jedi War (27ABY)  ===
Jagan had found himself taking part in the Rite of Supremacy award ceremony, an event that he was obliged to attend being a leader. It was not the greatest of days for Jagan, finding it incredibly boring to be stood in one place for so long. Suddenly, it seemed as if Jagan's wish for action had come true, with reports coming in that the Yuuzhan Vong were attacking the Brotherhood and the Plagueis fleet.


Jagan leapt into action and took his place on the [[Vengeance]] where he was forced to fight off the Yuuzhan invaders as they fled into the shroud. Jagan did not sleep for 6 days during the war, and by the final day he was exhausted. He was kept awake by the need of constant repairs, the manning of gunning turrets and the battles against the Yuuzhan Vong boarding parties.


The war finally ended after the Yuuzhan Vong decided to leave the Jusadih system and the brotherhood alone while they focused on other matters. Jagan was thankful of the end. Despite his former lust for war, he had seen horrors that no man should have been forced to endure, it had changed him.


===Into Hiding (19BBY - 2BBY)===
Upon returning to the Jusadih system he was shocked at the carnage that had occurred, all of the brotherhoods defenses, including the almost impenetrable Diadem Fortress, had been wiped out. He should have stopped this, he had failed his House and his Clan. The one place he could have called home, gone. With it many of his clanmates, his friends. He did not disturb the others as they toiled away at the recovery mission, simply slipping back off into the shadows once more. It was time to go.

Early Life (14BBY - 0BBY)

The streets of Onderon where Jagan regularly visited

Jagan was born just outside of Isis in the jungles of Onderon. He did not know his mother as she had died soon after his birth, but his father tried his best to support him. Jagan spent most of his days in the jungle and by age 8 was already highly adept at survival techniques and had the agility of any jungle animal.
