Morotheri is a Jedi Hunter of House Odan-Urr.
Character History
Morotheri is a Miraluka from the world of Alpheridies. At the age of 26 he left his homeworld behind in search of adventure, which he later found after receiving a message from New Tython. Morotheri's life on his homeworld was one of isolation from the rest of the galaxy, further fueling his desire for adventure. Being a Miraluka, he has no eyes and regularly wears a decorative visor of sorts made of black or red material laced with gold or silver that only covers the eye section of his face for social reasons. His usual attire also includes a red hooded robe that he normally wears with the hood covering his hair and upper part of his visor. Morotheri has received training in the force and lightsaber combat from a very young age, given that all Miraluka are force-sensitives. Although he favors a lightsaber in his battles, he does enjoy the occasional blaster rifle.
Before he received the message from Odan-Urr his enthusiasm for adventure landed him a job as a pirate, mercenary, as well as working on a smuggler's crew afterwards. The pirates had a small fleet of large vessels, although Morotheri was often manning a Delta-7 craft titled The Redeemer. As a smuggler, Morotheri was the brains of the operations, often using the force to pull the occasional mind trick on security forces who insisted a search on the Dynamic-class freighter that was most often used, or pulling strings to avoid a conflict at all. As a mercenary Morotheri took great pleasure in blowing things up. His mercenary group was a small 6-man group of what Morotheri considered some of the galaxy's most fierce, efficient mercenaries who always got the job done. No matter the cost.
While life as a pirate was not preferred by the Miraluka, he had enjoyed the adventure had in raiding large vessels or planning out a blockade. The large frigate that Morotheri was assigned to had a average sized crew, most of whom feared the Jedi, except the captain himself who was a great friend of the Miraluka. The pirates only held a very small number of vessels, most of them small in comparison to the frigate. Two years after serving on the crew, Morotheri had decided to take on a dangerous, but well-paying occupation as a Mercenary.
Morotheri loved the Mercenary life. In his team of six, everyone was well and equally payed and never complained. Being the only Jedi in the group, Morotheri was generally put at the front lines of a firefight. The mercenaries were both fierce and intimidating to their opponents, having gained increasing notoriety throughout the galaxy. Morotheri was also assigned as the demolitions expert, as he had taken an interest in the creation of weapons and the like. Morotheri had become a great friend to Murtallica, the group's gunslinging leader during his time as a Mercenary. Having gained too many enemies and being too well known, he was forced into leaving his comrades behind and continue onwards in search of more discreet work. Morotheri still misses his past as a mercenary to the day.
Morotheri received word of Odan-Urr through a encoded message sent to his ship, The Redeemer shortly before going into more discreet work and ignored the message until he was done his life as a smuggler. Eventually growing tired of hiring himself out as a smuggler, he left his job behind to assist New Tython in keeping order. A year after quitting his past as a hired hand, he flew on his ship to the world of New Tython.
The Miraluka arrived in the spaceport of Menat Ombo and immediately made his way to Ooroo Abbey to meet the grand chancellor, the Gand Ji. Upon surprising the Gand with his unexpected arrival, Ji had welcomed the Miraluka who was clad in red robes, as well as bearing a orange lightsaber with a almost golden hue. His reasons for answering the call still remain a mystery and secret, but the Jedi of Odan-Urr see him as a great addition to the cause. His allegiance to the light or dark side is also unknown, although he does claim to not share the same views as the Sith, who he calls "the ruthless destroyers of the original homeworld of the Miraluka", he is generally classed and respected as a Grey Jedi, neither fully committed to the light nor dark. It is often speculated that he joined to fight a common enemy, the sith.
Even though Morotheri has travelled much of the known galaxy on his own, he still has family. When Morotheri left his homeworld, he left his sister behind. It is rumored that his sister also left shortly after Morotheri, although not down the same path. Morotheri has followed these rumors for years, eventually finding them to be true through an old contact he had known since he was a mercenary. After landing on New Tython, he had shortly later discovered that he may have not come alone to New Tython, although he had seen no proof if it was his sister, his connection to her through the force seemed to get stronger and grow a few weeks after landing.
