When out getting groceries he noticed a person on the street in clear signs of distress. Trying to be a good Samaritan he checked on them. The person was very injured, claiming someone had tried to kill them just a few minutes earlier for their lightsaber. The bounty on lightsabers was something Byron had heard about but he did not immediately believe the person.
One thing led to another and long story short a group of bounty hunters confused Byron to be a Jedi. Shots were fired, threats made, but ultimately safety was achieved. Byron left the planet with the Jedi in the The Scarab, a home made quadfive light freighter hoping to escape a big misunderstanding and told his parents he was going on a trip. The Jedi he had saved took Byron to Ajan Kloss, both for him to return to his own people and get more help. The adult runaway was not familiar with the planet, nor the jedi, nor any of the excitement that had transpired. His wild times had only consisted of some black out nights with friends in college but on the run from trigger happy bounty hunters or would be assassins was something brand new.
The Jedi he had saved told him about his affinity with the force and brought up the Jedi Temple and possible future as a Jedi. At first Byron laughed it off thinking it was a joke and silently hoping he would wake up in his bed. But it soon became clear that the Jedi was not kidding. It seemed like he had little other choice but to move forward instead of trying to go back. With everything going on in the galaxy it seemed he had the chance to do more good.
- Padawan Life -As a padawan without a consistent master, Byron has taken the initiative to self teach and also lead training for other less experienced padawans as well. @Hannibal Grayza is likely the most common mentor to Byron over the years. But learning piecemeal knowledge from numerous teachers had him also learning in the field and going on missions with sometimes other padawans or non-jedi companions. @Indy Sati was a close friend and teacher in numerous subjects in Byron's early time with the Order.
Byron has worked alongside law enforcement before and assisted with the lawful capture of criminals alongside Thalia Windraider during his early days in the order. On Tol Amn, then Padawan @Izel Thral was assisted by Padwan Ryker in the rescuing Yars from an undead outbreak of the frenzy virus. During which Byron sent out a signal to warn people away and keep other people from coming and risk exposure.
With a handful of other padawans, Byron traveled to Takodana and liberated a crate of kyber crystals that smugglers had been trafficking from a source further into wild space.
Several Gozanti freighters were acquired for the Jedi Order at the direction of Byron for the purpose of humanitarian missions in the outer rim. With his knowledge and some help from his fellow Jedi they added three bulk freighters for possible transport. After some retrofitting and repairs it was an economic way for the Order to now have some additional safe vessel possibilities'.

Byron's pod, naturally, crash landed on the surface on Felucia. a young girl by the name of Lyra found him. The two worked together and traveled to the closest settlement. After their brief but pleasant meeting they parted ways. It would be some time before @Tiamat , the one he had known as Lyra, traveled to Kessel the same time as an operation by the Jedi Order was taking place. Byron faced off against @Darth Raze without knowing it was him. In a result of friendly fire, Byron was knocked out and imprisoned by the local authority and later used as a bargaining chip.
Returning to the Jedi Order, Byron traveled to Spintir where he sought to balance himself and improve on himself where he had failed before. The well of emotions were in turmoil but the nature of the Dawn Temple would aid him. During his time there, Tiamat used a hypergate to unwittingly teleport to the planet. Byron sensed the disturbance and ended up meeting and aiding her. He still had yet to find out her identity fully at this point.

Byron believes in doing what is right even if it sometimes goes against his own desires to just live his own life. Content with living a normal life he subconsciously shied away from working too hard in school and slacked to enjoy his free time. He was the kind of guy that would complain about helping someone but still be there for them in the end, albeit reluctantly. This of course has led to him being overwhelmed with the amount of chaos in the galaxy since there's never any shortage of excitement. If possible he'll try to make work seem fun and less of a chore but sometimes it just can't be helped and he can get into a snarky mood until things take a turn for the better. Sometimes that can make him sound almost surly at times even though he is aware he can be a bit of a pain. Valuing his own personal time Byron will find himself alone, tinkering with ships, droids and other technology though it's a never ending battle to get some piece and quiet. He'll take what he can get.
Looking at him now, one can notice his strong body. Even after the loss of his left foot his body is that of a fighter. He has a tattoo written in an old Mando'a runes in an Ossien dialect "The sky is full of talk of the sea and the sunset." The man is an adept hand to hand combatant and skilled in numerous force techniques and martial practices. These have been developed over the years through no small amount of hard work.
Force techniques that Byron has focused effort into include but are not limited to aerokinesis, animal bond, disable droid, healing, illusion, psychometry, pyrokinesis, Force phase, sight, stasis, Force sustenance, Force Weapon., and technometry are the most outstanding ones.
