Harron Tavus

Tavus was a lieutenant in the Republic military who fought in the Great Galactic War. He was friends with and fought alongside Jedi Orgus Din during the offensive in the Minos Cluster. Tavus was present when the Sith Empire attacked the capital world of Coruscant and again fought alongside Din to repel the invaders, though they were ultimately unsuccessful. After the Treaty of Coruscant was signed, officially ending the war, Tavus accompanied Din on a diplomatic mission to Balmorra during which they rescued Satele Shan and SP-99 from an adrift escape pod.

History


Tavus observed the end of the Sith Empire's offensive in the Minos Cluster along with the Jedi Orgus Din. They later reported this to the Galactic Senate on Coruscant, and were present when the Sith forces attacked the capital world. He fired at the emerging Sith troopers just as Din engaged Lord Angral in lightsaber combat. When Din disengaged from combat with the Sith Lord and headed for the Jedi Temple, Tavus followed him, only to find the temple in ruins.

Later, Tavus accompanied Din on a diplomatic mission to Balmorra in the wake of an incident precipitated by Din's former apprentice, Fortris Gall. While en route, they stumbled across a Republic escape pod at the same moment a Mandalorian cruiser was also approaching. Tavus warned off the Mandalorians, who refused to withdraw. Shots were fired, but Tavus and Din were able to recover the pod which held Jedi Knight Satele Shan and the droid SP-99. Shan updated her two rescuers on the Sith betrayal, and insisted that, after they notified Jedi Master Zym, they attempt to rescue Master Dar'nala, who was still a prisoner of the Sith Empire.

Soon after however Tavus received a transmission from Grand Master Zym which revield that the sith had sent a message explaining Dar'nala's execution. Soon after Tavus went to Satele's quarters which she was greatful for.

Upon arriving on Balmorra Tavus and Orgus Din were greated by master Buryn which revieled the that the fighting on the planet had resumed. After the fighting had been brought under control Tavus was assigned to go with Satele and Fortris to Dantooine to restore order on the planet.

While onroute to Dantooine Tavus went again to Satele's quarters to ask if they could spend some time together after there mission was over. Satele was intrigued by his offer but said it would not be appropriate since she was a Jedi. Tavus left asking her just to think about it.

Personality and traits
Tavus was a brave Republic soldier who remained level-headed under pressure. This was proven when the Sith attacked Coruscant. Tavus never panicked but proceeded to engage the invading Sith forces with professionalism and precision. He was confident and even a little cocky as demonstrated by his casual, flippant, and teasing remarks to Satele Shan after they had rescued her from a drifting escape pod. He maintained a close, first-name-basis friendship with the Jedi Master Orgus Din.
