Biography
Early Life
9 ABY – 30 ABY
Born on the City World of Coruscant, Jaek had been identified early on as a Force User by his parents and was placed into AFAP, or the Adaptive Force Acceleration Program, a local program ran by former Jedi Knights to help youths develop their force powers at an accelerated rate. It was here that he would stay, for the next sixteen years of his life, educating himself in the ways of the force and his ability to use them adequately and to his advantage.
Corulag Academy
25 ABY – 30 ABY
At the age of 16, he would tire of the Coruscant scenery and chose to depart to the distant world of Corulag, entering its Military Academy. Within the five years he attended the Academy, he had earned a Degree in Literature, as well as one in Flight and Combat. He had found that studying combat and flight had taken his mind off of the contempt he held for his parents, still disgusted with them that they could ship him away to AFAP with such ease.
His anger and frustration towards his parents subconsciously opened him to the dark side, as he trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat during his tutelage at the Academy. Again and again he would expose himself to constant combat, fighting for hours on end and exposing himself to repeated sleep deprivation techniques.
In one session, he had forced himself to face 5 opponents. He had unwittingly drawn from the Dark Side as it aided him in beating the students, even killing one of them in the process.
Nearby, a Dark Jedi Knight, in search of an apprentice, had sensed the boy's anger and hatred flowing through the Force. The Knight was Vivackus Kavon, and he had found exactly that within Jaek.

The Templar had found himself alone, facing multiple enemies when he fell into the company of Arconans who were in the process of fleeing as well.

House Galeres
36 ABY - Present
The Templar was moved into the Galeres house, underneath two of his former peers from Plagueis, Cethgus and Sanguinius_Tsucyra.

That being said, the Dark Jedi also came upon his apprentice, K’tana, within his travels. Having focused on training her and repairing the holonet, the Templar had began to find himself rather busy not long after joining the Clan.
Dark Forge

The Templar took on K'tana as his apprentice after following a disturbance in the force within a local slaving colony. The aforementioned Twi'lek was in the process of being forced to fight in an Arena, massed with creatures and slavers alike. Finding her connection to the dark side, as well as her ferocity and genuine insanity, appealing, the Templar managed to drag her out of the Arena and soon had her within the Shadow Academy.
As his Apprentice, the young Twi'lek had excelled far greater than he thought possible. Moving through the Journeymen ranks at a greater pace than himself. He found this threatening and while his pride in her grew, so did his caution.
Fet’ai’narun
36 ABY - Present
With the wounds suffered from the explosion of the thermal detonator, Jaek found himself under the care of this curious Chiss Journeyman. With the confusion of being abandoned and the subsequent care he found himself under within Arcona, he had little control over the feelings that began to develop for the woman.
Through events that could only be considered as fortuitous; the two Arconans began to see each other, secretly and away from the Brotherhoods prying eyes. Though Jaek had a sneaking suspicion that the Proconsul, Marick Arconae had an idea of what was going on
