Jon Tansden(Jin-Lo Rayce)

Jin-Lo Rayce was a Human male Jedi Padawan apprenticed to the Jedi librarian Jocasta Nu during the Clone Wars. At the conclusion of the war and the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, Rayce escaped the attack on the Jedi Temple led by the Dark Lord Darth Vader. Rayce then evaded the new Galactic Empire's forces on Coruscant for a few months and eventually stowed away on a transport headed for the planet Chandrila, where he lived for a time. He then traveled to various planets in the Core, the Inner Rim, and the Mid Rim, in search of surviving Jedi. After concluding that the Jedi were gone, Rayce traveled back to worlds where various Force-sensitives he had met lived and began establishing cells of Force adepts. Rayce styled his group the Agents of Ossus, in memory of the Jedi library planet Ossus, which had been destroyed during the Great Sith War millennia before.

Biography
As a young boy, the Human male known as Jin-Lo Rayce was interested in the history of the Jedi Order and spent many nights in the Jedi Archives in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He eventually became apprenticed to Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, who was the Chief Librarian of the Archives. Nu showed Rayce the secret passageways in and out of the Jedi Temple. During this time, Rayce befriended the Kel Dor Jedi Knight Sha Koon and shared knowledge of these passageways with her.

The Year before the War was over Jin-Lo was Knighted and Sent out into Combat assigned to Jedi General Roan Shryne During this Year in Combat Jin-Lo experienced many things including being injuried in combat, His right arm nearly blown off Jin-Lo was side lined and needed healing, he was sent back to Coruscant to heal, he spent the next two weeks spending time in the Jedi Library while his wounds healed.

In 19 BBY, the final year of the Galactic Republic's conflict with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, which commanded the clone troopers of the Republic Army to eliminate the Jedi.] When Palpatine's Sith apprentice, Darth Vader—formerly the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker—and the 501st Legion of clone troopers assaulted the Jedi Temple, Rayce was given a datapad containing blueprints of Coruscant's underworld, as well as several datachips by Nu. He was instructed to flee the Temple through the secret passages. During Rayce's escape, Nu was killed by Vader when she tried to prevent the Dark Lord from activating the Temple's signal beacon, which would order any surviving Jedi to return to Coruscant.

During the next few months, Rayce avoided the forces of the new Galactic Empire. With the help of Master Nu assistant Gar He smuggled many things from the Temple in the months he was trapped on the planet He eventually managed to stow away on a transport bound for the planet Chandrila and resided there for a short while before beginning a quest to find any Jedi who had survived the purge. Rayce traveled to various worlds in the Core, the Inner Rim, and the Mid Rim, but to no avail. However, during his travels, Rayce met various individuals who wished to put a stop to the Empire and a few were also sensitive to the Force. After concluding that there were no Jedi to be found, Rayce stayed hidden for many years taking jobs here and there and even working as a Law man on Ithor, he came to respect their culture and how peaceful it was many of the friends and allies he had met along the way traveled with him here and made it their home as well. eventually Rayce organized many cells of Force-using agents on these worlds. He named his group of Force adepts the Agents of Ossus, after Ossus, a planet that hosted the Great Jedi Library until its destruction during the Great Sith War in 3996 BBY.

The transport that took him off of Coruscant arrived on Chandrila 3 days later and Jin-Lo having barely any credits and no Identity to speak of was quickly out or Credits once buying basic supplies. it took Jin-Lo 3 months of living on the streets before he got lucky and discovered a nearly expired ID chip, it was for a young a adult roughly his apperance which allowed him to get a job in a local shady speeder repair shop. Several months passed and thanks to having a job and earning credits he got lucky again and was able to 'renew' his ID and receive several other important Identification information that allowed him to assume the Full identity of Benjin Quhin.

It didnt take him long though to figure out something he was good at on the planet which was Speeder racing, while Not something he really enjoyed nor was really good at until he learned to use the Force to help anticipate the track and the actions of his fellow racers.He befriended a young man by the name of Dax Nomis whom was a excellent Engineer. Rayce won 12 races in a row and earned not only a substantial Fortune but also Fame on the planet, soon he was hunted by Imperials instigating his situation.

Personality
As a Jedi, Jin-Lo Rayce was amazed at the histories of the Jedi, and spent hours studying the records in the Jedi Archives.[1] During this time, Rayce bonded with the Kel Dor Jedi Sha Koon and even gave her information about the Jedi Temple's secret passageways. After the outbreak of the Jedi Purge, Rayce managed to avoid detection by Imperial forces, scavenging for resources that he needed in order to live. Eventually, after giving up on locating other Jedi, Rayce refocused his determination on forming a new order, even though he himself was only partially trained. Preservation of the lore of the Jedi was important to Rayce, and he viewed his agents as repositories of that knowledge who were in hiding, rather than lost.
