Addar

Addar was a male human member of the Church of the Force

Biography


The human male Addar was born to a female founding member of the religious group known as the Church of the Force and grew up to become a member of the church himself.[1] In the year 5 ABY,[2] he joined a five-man expedition to the planet Christophsis with the aim of returning a collection of kyber crystals to the place in which they had originally grown. The crystals had been harvested by members of the Jedi Order for use in lightsabers, but then taken by the Galactic Empire after the order's downfall and used to power the superlaser of their Death Star superweapon.

The group arrived in a starship and set out to pass through one of Christophsis' many crystalline cave systems, but by the third day Addar had begun to doubt their missions and confided as such to his friend, the Iakaru Jumon. To reassure him, Jumon had him rewatch holographic recordings of the leader of the church Brin Izisca while the group rested around a campfire they had set up for the night beneath the stars. The following day the group entered the crystal forest, and by the end of the fourth day they realised they were being hunted by something among the crystallized trees.[1]

On the sixth day the Elomin Madrammagath was killed while separated from the group to relieve himself, and based on the wounds his body had sustained Jumon realised they were being hunted by kyaddak. The remaining four members of the group then did not rest that night, but slowly became more and more aware of their hunters presence: at first hearing them, then spotting signs they had been near, then finally seeing the beasts themselves lurking in the shadows. Addar revealed to Jumon that he brought a blaster pistol with him despite their destination being a holy site, but Jumon refused to allow him to attack the kyaddak as they too were creatures of the Force.[1]

Three kyaddak attacked the group on the eighth day, injuring the Duros Uggorda but not managing to kill her before being frightened off by Jumon, Addar and the MA-B0 cargo lifter droid Mabo. The four then forged ahead and managed to make it out of the kyaddak's territory in the crystal forest on the ninth day, entering an area in where the floor itself was crystal instead of dirt. Now safe from their hunters, the group set up another campfire for the night so Mabo could tend to Uggorda's wounds. Addar and Jumon argued about the purpose of their mission before Addar drifted to sleep listening to recordings of Izisca reading from the Journal of the Whills.[1]

Uggorda was killed on the tenth day when a crystal stalactite dropped from a cave ceiling and speared directly through her head. Mabo died on the twelfth day, falling into a chasm that formed underneath him after his weight cracked the crystal mantle beneath him. As the droid clung to a ledge in his final moments, Addar leapt to grab the crate containing the crystals, which Mabo also held onto. Knowing that the human could not bear the both he and the crystals' weight, Mabo then let go. With the cargo lifter gone, Jumon and Addar shared the weight of the crate between them and continued.[1]

The kyaddak then returned on the thirteenth day, leaving Addar to finish the journey alone as Jumon remained behind to hold them off and buy the human time. Running, Addar made it to the caves where the crystals belonged, being alerted to this fact by a locator on his arm. At first he believed that he had lost the kyaddak, but upon hearing them approach he opened fire with his blaster pistol, shattering parts of the crystal walls of the cave and causing a cave in. This left Addar safe from the kyaddak, but also trapped, as he soon realised he had reached a dead end. After watching another of Izisca's holovids in which the church leader described the task of returning the crystals, Addar left the recording on loop and began unpacking the kyber crystals from their crate in the knowledge that he would likely die alongside them trapped in the cave.

He didnt die, in fact Brin Izisca along with Lor San Tekka and Luke Skywalker recued him, he nearly died in the cave but in the end was saved it strengthened his belief in the Force and decided to dedicate his life to helping others.

Eventually Addar would join up with Skywalker when the Jedi Academy was formed, he helped out wherever he could at the academy including going out on missions.
