History

Theon was born on the famous 'Planet of a Thousand Moons', Iego. He never knew his father, who was a spacer, but his mother was a local restaurant owner in the Cliffhold space port and earned a modest living. Theon had originally been identified by the Reborn Jedi Order's Force Sensitives programme at a young age and he had been due to be transferred to the crèche on Coruscant. However, the outbreak of the Second Outer Rim conflict in 1,189 ABY and Iego coming out in support of the Outer Rim Alliance put his transfer on hold and he was allowed to remain with his mother for several more years. The young Human loved to run around the city and the surrounding mountainside, with many an accident leaving him with numerous scrapes and bruises, as well as a very worried mother. He would often boast to the other children that he was to become a Jedi as soon as the war was over and that he would be able to pull down the moons with his magical powers. When he was a little older and the conflict still raged on, he began helping his mother in the restaurant and the idea of joining the Jedi began to slip from his mind as the Jedi seemed to no longer be guardians of Iago or any of the other Outer Rim worlds. However, two years after the Schism at Cathar, which led to the formation of the splinter Jedi organisation, the Rift Jedi, Theon was approached by the newly-formed Order asking the young Human to instead join their order as a young recruit, rather than joining the Reborn Order if and when they came back to him. With the stories of war and death brought to him by the spacers, hearing of the way the Republic-aligned Jedi had killed people they knew, neither Theon or his mother were keen on him joining their ranks and so they agreed for him to join the Rift Jedi. The departure from Iego and his mother was difficult, given he was six-years old at this point, but he soon found himself enjoying his training as a Jedi and longed to fight back against the Republic. However, the war was over just a few years later and a fragile peace accord meant that he would not be able to face the Republic on the battlefield. Still, he pushed forward with his training and was eventually apprenticed to an Iridonian Rift Jedi: Knight Sazar. With the war ended, Sazar and Theon went on many missions to Alliance and allied worlds to help them rebuild and fight off any aggressors who sought to benefit from the unstable government and economies on many of the worlds. Theon often felt as though the peace with the Republic had been a poor choice, as it seemed that the ORA worlds had agreed to simply decay more slowly under the Republic's thumb. Eventually, Theon passed his trials and became a full Knight within the order. He still worked closely with Sazar, as his senior and former teacher, eventually coming to settle a crisis on Onderon, where GalactaWerks was still allowed a presence. There, he met with several members of the Reborn Jedi Order, including then-apprentices, Thane and Bomoor. Alongside these two, they uncovered a plot to assassinate a GalactaWerk's official by means of an explosion but, in a cruel twist of fate, it was Knight Sazar who ended up caught in the blast, owing to a plot to frame the Rift Jedi and spark further conflict within the planet's ruling Monarchy. With the finger now pointed at him by GalactaWerks, Theon refused to hand himself in and fought the two Reborn Jedi apprentices before fleeing the scene of the explosion. As the conflict on Onderon intensified and rioting broke out in the streets, Theon returned to assist Thane and Bomoor once more as they fought to uncover the truth behind the plot. However, he once again refused to submit himself to the Republic and returned secretly back to the Alliance. For a long time, there were strong calls for Theon's extradition to the Republic made by GalactaWerks officials, but eventually the matter was dropped and the Knight was allowed back into regular service, but now without his longtime partner. He committed himself to following leads regarding suspicious corporate interference that could be traced back to GalactaWerks or the Republic, that would breach the agreement of the peace treaty. Eventually, his digging led him to uncover details of a secret alliance between GalactaWerks and a number of Bastion Moffs. However, Bastion was not within the ORA and he lacked the resources to investigate the matter on his own leading him to turn to old acquaintances to further expose the plot.
