Editing Edward Avalon (section)

== Background ==

Edward Avalon is a member of the '''Firrerreon''' race.  When he was a young boy, an unnamed Jedi Master came to him and adopted him into the ways of the Sith.  She proceeded to take him to the '''Jedi Enclave''' on Dantooine and there he learned the ways of the Force before becoming her apprentice in later life.  He joined her in the '''Mandalorian Wars''' and helped protect the Republic from their threat as a Revanchist Jedi. Edward Avalon was the last apprentice of '''Darth Revan''' before she turned to the Dark Side of the Force and became Dark Lady of the Sith.


Edward, surprisingly, refused the call of his mentor and lover.  Instead, Edward was taken by the Sith's torture droids and tormented until he was to break.  Ironically, the young man was eventually able to escape on his own when Revan's fleets were destroyed by Malak in his bid to overthrow the Republic.  Excommunicated from the Jedi Order because of his ties to Darth Revan, Edward Avalon's mind suffered severely from the stresses he endured as a Sith and he ended up being captured by the Mandalorians and enslaved.  Edward learned much from his captors and eventually turned the tables on them, slaving them and escaping into the galaxy as a whole.


When Edward finally escaped, he found that the Jedi Order had been largely exterminated by the Sith and that Darth Revan had recanted of her evil before disappearing.  Worse, the Galactic Republic had abandoned the war against the Sith and made thousands of worlds susceptible to its cruelties.  Disillusioned, Edward took the Mandalorian battle techniques he's learned and signed up to become a mercenary and professional duelist.  Leaving his past as a Jedi failure behind.


Edward is but one of the many mercenaries hired on the [[A New Hope]] for security.
