“You only need one chance. With this one chance, a skilled performer can turn an assured defeat into a sound victory, or make the defeat even worse. But if you were going to be defeated anyway, what’s to lose?”
Master Mokke always said that. He was a brilliant orator and an enthusiast duelist, always going with the flow until the right moment appeared. His big moment arrived during the execution of Order 66. Sensing a big, big disturbance in the Force, he sent his padawan away and made him keep his profile low. Then he faced the stormtroopers using his favourite weapon: his voice.
So Christon ended up stranded in Actlyon, without his master and almost no one to trust. He only had a second class lightsaber and a holocron with some fencing lessons, both inherited from Master Mokke. He quickly set up on abandoning his Jedi persona and turning into a young nurse in practice, finding a job with the local healer.
The Force acts in mysterious ways, and not long after, he found another orphaned apprentice, a young Twi’lek called Jukurrpa. They both shared experiences, help and even some other things too private to be explained here. Jukurrpa had her own plans, though, and one day some months after Christon woke up to find Jukurrpa gone, no sign of her... nor Christon’s holocron.
He quickly freaked out. Will she tell the Empire about him? Will she be captured and forced to do it? Why did she take the holocron? He decided it was time for a change, and no Jedi was going to go fetch him apparently. With the idea that other holocrons should be able to be found somewhere else in the galaxy, he started his pilgrimage. Taking care not to travel too close to the Core while following any rumour he could gather about possible Jedi relics, Christon involuntarily accepted the burden of perpetuating the order through the dark times.
Christon is not a true professional, but he’s good enough as a healer to offer some basic aid wherever he goes, in exchange for some food, shelter or intel. He’s kind but also cautious, hiding his tall, strong build - and his lightsaber - under his robes. Hard to discourage, our blond hero keeps travelling across the Outer Rim in search of legends and lore, arriving to Krai Ven Station right after the smuggler he was looking for has been shot to death due to Sabacc debts...
