Nez is a human male who was born on Colstev to a professor at University of Zo-Ro, named Alga-Tan Zarabi. Renowned for her knowledge of jedi and sith lore, Alga-Tan studied all aspects of both paths and their applications. "Nez" made his way into House Odan-Urr by chance. During an educational summit some Jedi from House Odan-Urr came to Zo-ro to give a speech about the force.
While playing with some other kids, Nez used the Force to improve his concealment during a particularly heated game of hide and seek. Even though it was a small feat comparatively. A lone Jedi witnessed the feat of Force sensitivity and immediately approached Nez's mother. The visiting Jedi approached his mother to test the young boy to verifying what he had seen. Alga, understanding the vastness about the intricacies of the Force and its ways sent Talis with the two Jedi.
Upon arrival he found himself among a group of strange folks. After some time he opened up to them and found that they were good people who reminded him of home. Shortly after his arrival he was officially placed under the tutelage of Revak Kur, the Commander of his new unit, Strike-Team Ooroo.

Character History
Early Life
Nez spent most of his early years with his mother at Zo-Ro university with his nose in historical texts about the Force and the Adherents of both the light and the dark side. Reading about both sides as if they were heroes in fairy tales. This helped create Nez's unique perspective on the Force and its application both in and out of combat. Nez often practiced the Force based on teachings he had read about. Both utilizing the dark and the light in various aspects.
Nez's mother, Alga, was aware of her son's Force sensitivity from a very young age but never made any move to send him to any "Force cult" mulling about the galaxy. To her they were not good enough or stable enough as the Jedi Order once was to teach her precious baby boy.
One day the administration at the University invited one of the groups in the galaxy that Alga considered a force cult to speak about the light side and its uses in medicine and diplomacy.
The dean had ulterior motives and was a firm believer that Mez could only be of use if properly trained. His dogmatic reverance for the Jedi was almost disturbing. On more than one occasion he had scolded young Nez on using the dark side and he feared the power the young boy could already call to himself.
He had reached out to a friend at the new light side Force clan to speak at the college and once they had arrived had instigated a fervent game of hide and go seek by offering up a prize to the winner. Nez not being one to lose a competition of intellect and guile put forth his best effort.
His competitiveness had driven him to hide in the auditorium under the use of Force concealment, to hide from the every growing group of hunting peers.
Unknown to him he had drawn the attention of both Jedi master V'yr Vorsa and her student, Turel Sorenn. They approached Alga and convinced her to relinquish the boy to the Clan to learn the ways of the Jedi.
Nez accompanied the two to New Tython where he started his path towards becoming a Jedi at a little above the normal age and spent the later half of his early life under the tutelage of a Zabrak named Revak Kur
Nez's first mission
Up until this point all of Nez's peers considered the young acolyte a bookwormish annoyance at best. He always compared their training to some historical rendition about the Jedi or Sith.
The former rarely bothered the others but the later spooked alot of potential friends away due to the dogmatic teachings engrained in his peers to see the Sith as dangerous. Not grand and nuanced like the learned you man.
Nez's first mission was to accompany some Clan Odan-Urr scholars on a research mission and provide protection. Complications arose when the delegation arrived due to the presence of a Clan Naga Sadow delegation that was there for similar research.shortly after a large scale fued ensued and Nez was smack in the middle of the most severe fighting.
The young teen at this point had never proven his combat capacity but under the fiery anvil of real combat had set himself above his peers until help could arrive. Leading the rescue party was Revak Kur.
A relatively new equite who lead Stike Team Ooroo. He recognized the potential in the unclaimed and weird teenager and upon returning to the clan formally requested to teach the impressionable young warrior scholar.
Eleventh Great Jedi War Until the Sacking of New Tython
"Nez" spent a large quantity of time in the archives and tombs of ancient civilizations across the galaxy. Making money on the side when he could. Taking odd jobs with "Salvagers".
He rarely stayed in one place for more than a couple days. As new jobs came up for more expansive learning Nez would happily jump at the opportunity to see new worlds. One day a job forced him to return to New Tython to research a historical site for "salvage" as his Team would often refer to it as.
The knighting
Upon returning to New Tython Nez began his research into the alien civilization they were set to salvage the ruins of. He happened to run into his Master who was both astonished to see him and angry that he had gone missing for well over a year with no contact.
He demanded that the normally bookworm young adult take up his training with new fervor as the future of the clan was in jeopardy. Nez offered to spar with his master if only to placate him enough for some breathing room to continue his research.
During one of their sparring sessions Darth Pravus' fleet dropped out of hyperspace in orbit and began attacking New Tython. During his escape Nez somehow found himself carrying Nathan Decarius to the evacuation shuttle while New Tython was destroyed around him.
There was no fighting at that point. The Jedi had been caught off guard by the combined might of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and all they could do now was flee with their lives. During the evacuations, Nez's heroism and calm mind proved to the surviving Jedi council that the independentyoung Jedi was ready for the next phase of his training.
The next day Nez was Knighted in the mess hall of the Proxia Mustirion. Nez has since held an unhealthy grudge towards the other clans of the brotherhood. Many believe it was due to the death of someone close to him in the Odanite Defense Force. No confirmation of this has ever been found.
Garza's Pathfinders
Nez's battle record and experience netted him a position upon the newly formed Garza's Pathfinders as a Pathfinder.
His stealth operation capabilities would be put to the test in the coming months as he endeavored to perform his duties to the utmost of his ability to try and net him some leeway with the council to have some spare time to continue his historical salvage operations.
While with the Pathfinders, Nez took part in both the Battle of Florrum and the Polyphemous Operation. He was injured in the line of duty during the Polyphemous operation and spent a few weeks healing from his injuries.
Tython Squadron
After a few tense weeks, Nez was reassigned to Tython Squadron. A new starfighter squadron that specialized in interception and seek and destroy missions flying a flight of captured Tie Defenders.
This gave the young historian more freedom to move around the galaxy under the guise of researching the missions. He exemplified himself on multiple occasions to earn himself the title of Tython Ace under the call sign Warpath.
Due to his exemplary service and leadership ability, Nez was promoted to Aedile when Maximus stepped down as Satele Shan's Quaster and Mauro wynter vacated the Aedile position to ascend to the leadership role of Quaster.
Nez never wanted to be a leader but necessity dictated that he step up for a time. After a few months Nez stepped down as Aedile of Satele Shan and continued his salvage operations.
Notable Equipment
Mandalorian Armor
Nez spent many years with a Mandalorian clan that specifically worked around salvage operations if historical sites regarding the Mandalorian culture. Due to his closeness to the clan he took his vows as a member of the Corsair mandalorian clan recently and set out as a foundling of the clan.
