Roni von Wasaki

Roni von Wasaki was a short human male Jedi Knight with oriental features who was alive over 20,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. He was known to use two lightsabers simultaneously, one of them being three a three-foot blade while the other was only a two-foot blade and always dressed in the black robes, chest armor, and ornate helm of the ancient Jedi. He established order in many sectors of the then-frontier region of space and was known for being a master of balancing wisdom and peace with a struggle for justice as well as for his just administration which many peaceful beings respected him for while wretched villains hated and feared his skills as a warrior. An unknown crime boss put a bounty of 100,000 credits on Wasaki, which many tried to collect. Wasaki was eventually captured by Leshy Drobo and his droid companion XT-8 though they lost their crewmember Gammid, a loss that didn't really matter to Drobo as he considered Gammid incompetent anyway. Drobo froze Wasaki in carbonite, though Wasaki still attempted to use his skills in telepathy to convince Drobo to free him from imprisonment. Though he eventually managed to convince him to do so, XT-8 learned of this and killed Drobo, damaging the Starkiller's hyperdrive during the incident. Though XT-8 did not know how to repair the drive, he attempted to continue his mission and continued the journey on sublight engines only. 20,000 years passed, with Wasaki constantly attempting to reach out with his mind to convince any passing strangers to free him. This slowly turned Wasaki insane, due to a millennia of lonely thoughts, fearful dreams and the extreme sensory depravation caused by his imprisonment in carbonite.

Eventually, however, Wasaki was freed by a group of Rebels who had a Force-sensitive in their midst. When he was freed he lacked any energy or emotion and was also blind. Whenever the group asked him a question, he repeated the query once or twice before answering briefly. He didn't volunteer any information himself, and constantly used receptive telepathy to read the minds of the group at random; he had been reaching out with the Force for so long that he couldn't help himself. He continued to act in this way until the group made him comfortable, eventually transferring onto their ship as they took him on their journey through hyperspace. Before long he became fearful, taking one of the group asside and whispering to him that he thought the dark side had come for him in a physical manifestation and was in fact on the ship. He also believed that he was in fact the light side and that if he died, everything that was good and true in the galaxy would be extinguished forever. Additionally, he believed that someone was talking about him, that he was being watched, and also that someone was attempting to read his mind; this wasn't entirely paranoia. When the group realized that Wasaki was disturbed and started to plan how to deal with him, Wasaki stood completely rigid with his hands held out before him. A grimace turned his waxy face into a death mask and his posture appeared like he was once again frozen in carbonite. During this time, he was completely unaffected by pain and soon started using Force powers such as telekinesis, injure/kill, inflict pain, and telekinetic kill to injure the group, slowly slipping more and more to the dark side as he did so. Suddenly, he snapped out of his catatonic state and attacked the group with his lightsabers and Force skills. The Force-sensitive member of the group attempted to calm Wasaki through the Force and eventually managed to, causing Wasaki to cease his attacks. It is unknown what happened to Wasaki after this time.
