BIOGRAPHY Originating from a Secura clan off-shoot, Ileh was born with the definition of a silver spoon. Although relatively far from the main line, his close family held some considerable political power over Ryleth’s second capital, Kala’uun, where he spent most of his childhood. Intended for power, he was groomed since early in the arts of intrigue and subterfuge, with diverse and rigorous private tutors.

From that experience, however, the young Twi’lek got no enjoyment. Truthfulness and loyalty had been qualities he both admired and displayed since early on, much to the dismay of those around him.

The life of a Twi’lek politician amidst the bustling trade port was quite the turbulent and seldom long one. Kala’uun did not have the watchful eye of the Twi’lek Clan Council keeping the peace, and its huge influx of people, both for tourism and commerce, meant trouble was constant.

Forced into a world he did not appreciate, the Secura might’ve not liked it, but he learned. From his political mentors came tact, a disposition towards diplomacy, and the more shadowy ways of courts around the galaxy. His martial instructors taught important lessons in discipline, respect, and most importantly, pain.

However, during his years among his clan, Ileh’s most important ability was that of masking his true self. With a sense of bitterness he eventually resigned himself to filling the role he didn’t truly want.

Pressure became even more apparent once his “gift” in the Force emerged after a messy run-in with some young thugs, during one of his many escapades. From what he remembers, that day was when yet another tutor arrived at the Secura mansion, a place the now teenager was prohibited from leaving.

An elder Bothan who was also attuned with the Force, this new tutor soon became a favorite of the heir-apparent. With him, he felt safe and at peace, something he struggled with inside his own home. His master’s backstory was one shrouded with mystery, and while seemingly no subject was off the table between the two, the elder went awfully quiet when it concerned his many years of living.

Regardless, with time Ileh was able to trust master Visk, from him learning the basics of the energy that surrounded them. With a warm aura, Visk was both a guide and a refuge. In him, the Twi’lek found the affection his parents lacked.

As time went by, the Secura, now not an only child, became more and more outspoken about his dissatisfaction with many aspects within the clan. His many cousins were ruthless in business and politics, and would frequently butt heads with their more compassionate cousin. That painted a target on his back. The black sheep of the family, who was, in fact, quite light.

From early on the practice of slavery was despised by Ileh, who became a vocal advocate for some kind of law against it in Kala’uun. It was not a secret at all that the huge commercial port was one of the main hubs for the exporting of Twi’lek slaves, coming from all over Ryloth through a multitude of means.

At first he tried to fight the crime families directly, which led him nowhere. In fact, as he would soon find out, it actually led him right back to the top. These criminals were among the high casts of Twi’lek society. Among the people he grew up with. In fact, a big chunk of those slavers either had contacts or worked closely together with the higher clans. Including his.

Once his clan’s involvement was in the open, Ileh became irate. While he had so far accepted his future role within the family, a line was drawn right then and there, and years of suppressed emotions came flowing in.

Among the discussion a threat to basically ban him from the clan was made, culminating in Ileh storming out of the mansion. It had been a few years since master Visk’s passing, but in that moment the Twi’lek felt what seemed like his warm presence once more, a proud gaze over his actions.

At last free from the mold he was expected to fill, a still remarkably young Ileh loitered around in the streets of Kala’uun. Without much in the way of money and nowhere to go, the self-exiled Secura relied on his limited contacts to eventually make his way to Ajan Kloss.



Years went by and Ileh Secura became quite the accomplished Padawan. His connection to the Force was remarkable for one his age, and years of martial training gave him the tools needed to succeed in melee combat. Through the Jedi way he saw a way forward with his main goals, a way to truly help the galaxy.

After quite a few adventures at the side of his new master, in which he successfully assumed the roles of peacekeeper, healer, and even explorer, the Padawan who now preferred to omit his surname was finally recently knighted.


PERSONALITY AND TRAITS Cool, calm, and collected. These attributes perfectly describe Ileh Secura on the outside. Through trial and error (and great teachers) he learned how to block most of his emotions from showing, to the point where wearing this mask is almost natural.

An ability essential in cutthroat politics, but horrible for socializing and making deeper connections. In fact, that has been something Ileh historically struggles with, appearing as distant as he does. Inside a very passionate and compassionate Twi’lek, he curses the childhood that made him the loner he is.

He’s a Jedi of focus, commitment, and sheer kriffing will, and a true believer of the order and its creed. Perhaps at times even too dogmatic, like the Jedi of old. Due to his upbringing he has a tendency of judging those in positions of power who openly display weakness. Here, of course, he considers himself to almost always be in that position of power, becoming extremely thin-skinned when it becomes apparent he is not.

Usually able to exert this mastery over his strong emotions, when Ileh ends up finally having enough, the most pure version of rage can be seen. Thankfully those occasions are extremely rare, even more so after joining the Jedi, yet some of that danger is always there below the surface.

Although he prefers that people refer to him simply as Ileh or even Lio, the Twi'lek is not foolish, and has nothing against using his pedigree when it serves him. Which he hopes will be a frequent occurrence in the future, as, although extremely faithful so far to the Jedi dogmas, he does believe not taking part in politics to be a nonsensical move.

Loyalty and dedication to a cause are of utmost importance for him. The Secura does not forget, and seldom forgives. This lack of leniency goes for most he sees as equals or superiors, with the strongly compassionate side reserved mainly for those he either considers inferior or those in adverse situations. He truly does have a heart of gold underneath the masquerade. One just might need to dig a bit deeper than in most to find it.

POWERS AND ABILITIES Since a young age Ileh was groomed for inheriting the duties of his clan. Training with specialists, he at least dabbled in various subjects. Among them, politics and it’s inherent plotting and scheming were very prominent, as was hand-to-hand combat with a focus on self defense, and general stealth and secrecy. He was also trained on the basics of the force by a mysterious Bothan teacher, which gave him an edge as an eventual Jedi Padawan.

Ileh’s affinity to the Force is quite strong, and was so far the main focus of his time with the Order. As an extension of this earlier, more general training, he was able to attain proficiency with the basics and start on a path of discovering new powers and abilities quite early on.

Quite synergetic with his perhaps forcefully instilled interests, he worked quite deeply on any abilities that would allow him to go unnoticed when needed. These included a mix of cloaking, illusion, sensory and telepathic powers. However, his biggest capabilities lie in Force Healing, for which he is becoming relatively known among the ranks.

Combat-wise, the Twi’lek can’t be said to be more than an adequate duelist. Swordplay, although also included in his early Secura training, never truly interested Ileh, and, as he never showed a natural predisposition for it, it was eventually neglected. He can take care of himself, but focuses mostly on defensive styles. As for the force, he has some training in Barrier and previously dabbled with Deflection, yet these are far from being his strong suit.

As for his more general skills, it’s fair to say he is quite well-rounded. His time away from civilization not only as a healer and peacekeeper, but more recently also as an explorer, looking for ancient Jedi artifacts and wisdom, made him a decent pilot and capable engineer. If anything, his ability to adapt and make-do with what he has came in handy in quite a few situations in the Outer Rim.
