BIOGRAPHY
It was during one of these trips with his father, that the Force began to stir inside Varis. It was gradual at first, only hearing the whisperings of the forest around him, but soon he began to exhibit external manifestations of his connection to the Force.
Unsure what to do, his parents sought the wisdom of a hermit they perceived to be some sort of seer to see what they should do with their son. After the family made the perilous journey, they were told by the former Jedi exactly what Varis was and the source of his power. His parent’s believing that his abilities were the gift of the gods, begged the old man to train their son. The man tried to explain who he was but his parents were insistent. Finally, the man agreed to show their son the ways of the Force.
During this time, Varis learned the basic teachings of the Jedi Order and the tenets of the Force they followed. He learned that his teacher, while still belonging to the Order had moved away from civilization to grow closer to the Force. This training continued for several years as Varis grew from a child into a young man. As he grew older, he became restless, tired of hearing the stories of the Jedi Order and wanting to visit the Order himself.
His opportunity came when an urgent request came from the Jedi council for his teacher to return to the Order to speak with them. When they arrived, Varis witnessed the Jedi civil war for the first time since hearing about it many years prior. The sight of such violence shook him, but he also felt the pull to help those he considered the distant family he was just now finally meeting.
His teacher informed him that the Jedi Council had sent for him to train new knights as the war began to take a toll on their numbers. Varis was given the option to return home to his family and people or remain and train to be a Jedi Knight. He choose to stay and become a Jedi but could tell his teacher was disappointed at his decision.
Varis expected to learn more about the Force and the ways of the Jedi, but was instead thrust into training for war. With each day, him and his fellow Jedi learned the ways of the lightsaber and warfare. It did not feel like the stories his teacher had told him over all those late nights back on Arba. Still, he began to see the reasons behind the war. Slowly, he became the warrior the Jedi Council wanted.
Over the next years, they began taking part in battles against exiled forces. It did not take long before the Jedi around him began to die. Soon there was little of his class left alive and then he was leading small groups of younger Jedi in battles.
During one these battles, Varis was desperately holding off the enemy to give his group of Jedi a chance to retreat further back to main Jedi force. The young Jedi Knights hurried up the ramp to the transport. When they had all finally been loaded on board, Varis to began to make his way to the ramp. A rocket struck the transport, the blast throwing Varis backwards he felt sharp jolt of pain before the world faded away.
It would be weeks before Varis awoke in a Jedi medical facility. He had suffered extensive damage to his legs and back. Every moment was painful for him. The Jedi Healers and Doctors had done with they could to repair the damage but had reached their limits with the amount of wounded they received daily.
Varis, no longer able to walk without the assistance of a cane, was unsure what use he was to Jedi. The Jedi Healers urged him keep trying to improve his strength and build his body back up, but Varis’ soul had also been damaged that day. He had lost all of those he had led. It shook the young Jedi to the core. He knew he had to keep going, but didn’t know where to begin.
With pain in each slow step he took, Varis exited the Jedi Hospital.
