Thel Keikodi (/kē-ko-dee/; born in 8 ABY) is a Naval Officer in the Arcona Expeditionary Force born on the planet Eldar. Currently, he holds the rank of Commander and is Executive Officer on the Bothan Assault Cruiser Darkest Night.
History
Early Childhood
Thel was born on the planet Eldar to Jaina and Kal Keikodi, who were both simple farmers. Thel's father, Kel, being a former soldier in the Imperial Army until the fall of the Galactic Empire in 4 ABY, began training Thel in hand-to-hand combat at the age of 5. By the age of 12, Thel was more than proficient at hand-to-hand combat and his skills with a blaster rifle. Over the years, Kal taught his son everything he knew about imperial tactics, combat skills, and honed in on his abilities piloting a speeder. Having been educated more as a soldier rather than a farmer made Thel more than eager to join the Shogunate controlling Eldar.
Shogunate Military Career
At the age of 15, Thel joined the Shogunate Army as a Private. It didn't take him long to rise through the ranks, as he made it to the rank of Tyro by the age of 18. He excelled at every challenge and mission his commanders gave him — even beating a Commander in hand-to-hand combat. His commanders were pleased with the results of every task they gave him, and his subordinates were pleased with his style as a leader. Thel's men were always inspired to follow him even into the most treacherous missions. This lead to a quick promotion to the rank of Captain by the age of 22 — the youngest ever.
Naval Career
It wasn't long after his promotion to Captain that Thel encountered a group of Dark Jedi from Galeres. Curious about this group he had heard rumors about, he followed them back to their ship, the Bothan Assault Cruiser Darkest Night. Dal Hodezan, the Executive Officer at the time, had heard rumors of this Shogunate warrior and wanted to meet him face-to-face. Upon meeting and exchanging their experiences, Commander Hodezan requested that Thel join the Arcona Expeditionary Force and become part of the crew on his ship. Thel, always being fascinated by space travel, eagerly accepted and was commissioned as a Lieutenant aboard the vessel.
Thel began to see more action than he ever had in the Shogunate Military — being present at the Conflict on Antei, the Conflict on Salas V, the Invasion of New Tython, and multiple skirmishes during the Dark Crusades. Due to his excellent service record and accomplishments during these conflicts, Thel was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in 34 ABY. Dal took a biased liking to the young officer and even recommended he be transferred to serve as an office aboard the Nightfall, to which Thel declined as he was completely loyal to Arcona and its leadership.
Executive Officer
In 38 ABY, Dal Hodezan departed from the position of Executive Officer of Darkest Night, which opened up the position to only a select group of officers Primarch Cethgus, the Quaestor of Galeres, felt were worthy of the position. Upon further review, Thel was selected as the new Executive Officer and was promoted to the rank of Commander.
