| As a student Justinios was well behaved and performed exceptionally in most classes, especially with regards to exams. His teachers all seemed to struggle in getting Justinios to complete his homework but the young Aleena did just enough that, when paired with his exam scores, he still got above average overall grades in his classes. When Justinios began to look into where he would attend university he hit two roadblocks: his own effort and some lingering non-human bias on the planet. Even after it had officially joined the New Republic most of the leaders in charge of Coruscant's private universities were holdouts of the Imperial era and clung to the old ways. The cost of these schools, and most importantly the lack of tuition assistance made available to non-human students, made it very easy to continue their discrimination. As the Aleena's senior year drew to a close, he had received acceptance to a handful of the school's he had applied to but was not able to afford to attend any of them. | | As a student Justinios was well behaved and performed exceptionally in most classes, especially with regards to exams.

Justinios Drake is a Knight allied with House Dinaari of Clan Taldryan. As a former Professor, Justinios' main focus in on his continuing research into the The Force.
Character History
Early Life
Although born on Aleen, Justinios' family immigrated to Coruscant when he was only one year old. His father was able to provide a relatively normal life for his family as a maintenance worker for the local government. Although the elder Drake did experience some discrimination based on his non-human status, his willingness to use his small stature to access the most hard to reach and dangerous areas of Coruscant's infrastructure kept him gainfully employed despite any prejudice. The Drake family did not live an extravagant lifestyle but they never wanted for basic necessities in life and even enjoyed the occasional family vacation.
As a student Justinios was well behaved and performed exceptionally in most classes, especially with regards to exams. His teachers all seemed to struggle in getting Justinios to complete his homework but the young Aleena did just enough that, when paired with his exam scores, he still got above average overall grades in his classes. When Justinios began to look into where he would attend university he hit two roadblocks: his own effort and some lingering non-human bias on the planet. Even after it had officially joined the New Republic most of the leaders in charge of Coruscant's private universities were holdouts of the Imperial era and clung to the old ways. The cost of these schools, and most importantly the lack of tuition assistance made available to non-human students, made it very easy to continue their discrimination. As the Aleena's senior year drew to a close, he had received acceptance to a handful of the school's he had applied to but was not able to afford to attend any of them.
Desperate to attend post-secondary school Justinios applied for admittance at his regional public institution. The Coruscant system of regional colleges requirements were simply the ability to pay the highly subsidized tuition and pass a very simple entrance exam. Justinios attained an almost perfect score on the entrance exam (although to this day he will argue the test was wrong regarding the question he missed) and the cost was so highly subsidized that he was able to attain very low interest loans to cover tuition. Additionally, scoring so high on the entrance exam got the attention of the President of the college who would eventually became a mentor to Justinios for the remainder of his academic career.
Finding the Brotherhood
Using the age old tactic of making your graduate assistants do the dirty work on your research, the Aleena had set his workers out to find any references to ancient repositories relating to the Jedi or any group with the ability to manipulate the Force. In early 35 ABY, one of Justinios' graduate assistants came to his office with a hyperspace map leading to an all but forgotten backwater planet. The student explained that his brother's, best friend's, wife's, third cousin was on a freighter crew that works off of the normal trade lanes and that at a family gather his brother's best friend overheard his wife's third cousin telling unbelievable stories of what he has seen on his travels. While Justinios' student assistant and his brother were laughing at all of the likely over-exaggerated tales, one of them mentioned what sounded like an impressive library. The point that had finally gotten the grad student's attention was that he claimed that the planet was full of Jedi.
This was all that Professor Drake needed to hear, as soon as the semester was over he made arraignments to travel to this mystery planet. No one transport would take him that far off of the main routes but after contracting with over a dozen different pilots, all of varying reputation, he landed in Karufr City. Although he did not see any immediate indication the planet was inhabited by Jedi, the library itself did not prove to also be a fabrication of a bragging cousin. It took a few days but he was able to negotiate access to the first two sub-levels with the local bureaucracy. The day after he gained access, the professor excitedly entered the library and began gather up as many scrolls and holographic articles as he could carry. Professor Justinios Drake would never get the opportunity to read a single word one any of the documents because as soon as he plopped himself down at a table, fire began to rain fromt he sky.
