Character History
Uji is a former Jedi Knight, a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood driven to the Dark Side by the very teachings of his youth.
- "To serve the Galaxy as a Jedi, is to never compromise, to always serve the greater good, this is why the Jedi served the Old Republic, why Master Skywalker fought alongside the Rebels, and why the Order now works with the Galactic Alliance, we have and will always serve for the betterment of everyone."
- ―Tionne Solusar addressing Younglings at the Yavin 4 Praxeum.
Youth
The time before he was part of the Jedi Order is something Uji has never really considered. His life began with the Order: his mentors, his peers and those he interacted with there are his first memories. Uji was part of the first class of Younglings to undertake training by Skywalker and Tionne Solusar. His youth was something he remembers fondly, learning, training, and practicing from the moment he rose, until four hours after dark, when they were expected to sleep.
During this time he would develop few close friends, but would find an understanding from the Order that the Jedi existed to serve the greater good, whether that be in serving the Alliance, the Rebels, or further back when they served the Old Republic. The Jedi exist to create peace, balance, and harmony: a teaching that would one day lead to Uji turning his back on the Jedi.
The Jedi Way
Uji found himself taking an interest in many of the Heroes of the Jedi Order who had turned rogue at some point, and the order of the Jedi originally used to stop said individuals, the Jedi Shadows. When concerns were raised, he was brought before his teachers, and before Master Skywalker. Even as a youth, Uji understood the destruction the Jedi were capable of, and assembled before the Council as an Apprentice, explained his reasoning. To understand how to stop a Rogue Jedi, one would have to understand their motivations.
Taking notice of the young Jedi, his teachers began to mold the path for him, using a direction the new Order had not yet incorporated: one of the oldest orders of the Jedi, the Shadow Sentinels. Years later, Uji lost his Jedi Master while hunting down a Dark Jedi. By defeating his master’s killer, Uji was accepted as a Jedi Knight and tasked with continuing his work as a Sentinel.
During the latter parts of his time among the Jedi, Uji would be befriended by a younger Miraluka girl, Atyiru Araave, a woman he would later unknowingly betray, and eventually come to serve.
Service to Alliance Intelligence
Once Knighted, Uji was assigned to work alongside Galactic Intelligence recovering artifacts, confronting and eliminating threats to the Order, and any other mission the Order deemed important to keep under wraps, yet couldn’t afford to risk having exposed. Over the years, the missions began to become more brutal, and tactics changed from rescue and recovery to elimination, threats, and assassinations.
Uji began to have doubts that the Order was capable of using him in such a capacity, but often found himself placed in situations where contacting the Order was impossible without going through Alliance intelligence.
Betrayal
Given orders to eliminate a smuggling operation and leave no trace of the Alliance or Jedi’s involvement, Uji gathered together a group of smugglers, pirates, and murderers and provided them the resources and tools necessary to do the job. The Alliance wanted a group of smugglers known as the Red Ladies eliminated, as they had been an unresolved issue for the Exchange for quite some time.
The Alliance decided to deal with the Smugglers in exchange for a trade agreement with the Exchange. When Uji tracked and found a location on the ship piloted by the Red Ladies’ leader, Arraas, he sent his crew after the woman.
It wasn’t until after the conflict, when his team had failed, that Uji came to understand what had happened: how a better armed, better outfitted force had been defeated after reporting they had taken the ship. Atyiru Araave, a former Jedi padawan and his former friend, had been aboard the ship. The apparent lover of the captain, she had lead her remaining crew to retake the ship, and eliminated the mercenaries he had hired.
Disillusion
Uji questioned the orders of his mission to eliminate the smugglers, disagreeing with the need for extreme violence, and questioning when it became the role of the Jedi or Alliance to work with the Exchange. But the more he pressed the issue, the harsher the response he received: over the course of the next several months, he was thrown into more and more dangerous missions, and his contact with the Jedi order went from minimal to nonexistent.
It wasn’t long before the betrayal was complete. Alliance Intelligence sent him on a mission to assassinate a planetary leader stirring rebellion in the outer reaches of Alliance territory. When he attempted to carry out the assignment, he found himself facing off against a squad of Bounty Hunters attempting to seize him for “Crimes against the Alliance”.
Narrowly escaping the attempt, Uji attempted to contact the Order, only to discover that his handlers among the Alliance had framed his last missions as him going rogue. Standing orders were for him to return to Alliance space and turn himself in. Uji was unable to contain his anger as he realized for how long he had been being duped by his handlers, when he realized that the Order had forgotten about him and let him be used to cause so much harm.
Exile
Sending a single message through to the Order, Uji explained his actions, explained in detail the missions he had been ordered to carry out, and ended the missive by informing the Order that he would no longer be serving them, or the Alliance they upheld. Uji took transport further out, and began trying to find a life for himself outside of Alliance space. Traveling where he could to find work, he began to orchestrate ways to use his training to do what he had always believed to be the right thing.
To strive for the greater good, no matter the actions necessary, he began to seek out something that could replace what he had lost: a group, an organization that could give him the tools he needed to carry out his desires. During these months, he began channeling his anger towards the Order, his desire for order to the chaos leading him to begin down the path of the Dark Side, seeing the potential for him to be so much more than the Jedi ever let him become.

Relations within the Brotherhood
Atyiru Caesus Entar
- "…It’s in the past. The people you wronged that day are dead, and that was their end. They are gone. You are still here. I am here. And, the Force guard us, that is all there is. If you’re expecting ire, if you’re looking for forgiveness, if you’re regretful, then you go to them, drag yourself before their graves, and leave your soul for their bones. If you want to keep moving, then you come to me, and we keep ‘karking’ going. That’s your choice, Uji. It always has been."
- ―Atyiru to Uji about his betrayal
Atyiru’s initial reaction to Uji’s arrival in the Brotherhood was a mixed one: the Miraluka had never expected that particular piece of her past to come to light again. However, in the time since their last interaction, she had been able to come to terms with the pain he caused her and his role in her former partner’s death. Instead of being crippled or poisoned by it, she used the experience to drive her forward, and treated it as a lesson in cherishing everything she had as long as she had it.
This fact, augmented by her Consul’s and Quaestor’s approval for him, led Atyiru to cautiously but readily accept Uji into Galeres for his martial skill, intellect, and dedication. She endeavored to befriend him again, realizing that his time in the Jedi Order had not necessarily been a virtuous experience for him, just as it had been for her.
The pair grew close again, Uji preferring to spend time with Atyiru because of their shared, more humanitarian outlook and attitude of self-sacrifice for a greater good than themselves; though they displayed it in rather antipodal manners. Atyiru tended more toward martyrdom and would promote mercy even when detrimental, sacrificing self in her unwillingness to harm any others; whereas Uji was more inclined to set aside morality and do whatever needed to be done to preserve the whole, sacrificing self in his willingness to protect others. However, both had grown with time, and as Atty had begun to learn how to balance compassion and self-preservation, Uji had learned to take difficult action without shutting out his emotions.
At present in the DB, Atty and Uji are often found working closely together. She considers him her right-hand man and partner while on duty and one of her closest friends within her circle when not.
