Jaric Kaedan

"Don't tell me you're afraid to stop them? We'll hold them off at the pass!"

- Master Kaedan to Jedi Bela Kiwiiks

Jaric Kaedan was a Human male Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Great Galactic War against the resurgent Sith Empire. In the aftermath of the Treaty of Coruscant and throughout the Cold War, Master Kaedan took a seat on the Jedi High Council, helping the Order resettle Tython and taking up residence in the new Jedi Temple there.

Biography
A Force-sensitive Human, Jaric Kaedan was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order, eventually attaining the rank of Jedi Master. During the Great Galactic War with the resurgent Sith Empire, Kaedan commanded the Republic forces at the battle of Rhen Var and had under him Jedi Knights Satele Shan, Bela Kiwiiks and Syo Bakarn.

In the wake of the Treaty of Coruscant and the destruction of the Coruscant Jedi Temple, Master Kaedan returned to the ancestral Jedi homeworld Tython with the rest of the Order and helped rebuild during the Cold War, residing at the Temple there. Taking a seat on the Jedi High Council, Master Kaedan was one of a number of Jedi who found fellow Master Yuon Par's actions too unorthodox. When Kira Carsen was revealed to have been a Child of the Emperor, Kaeden demanded she be imprisoned, although the rest of the Council overruled him. When Kira overcame the Emperor's will in the heat of battle he was able to graciously admit that that he had been wrong and from then on never showed hostility to her.

When Lord Scourge approached the council proposing an alliance, Kaeden didn't trust him, even putting a lightsaber to Scourge's throat. Scourge insisted that he's the foremost expert on the Emperor and he's more use to them free with the Jedi he believed could defeat the Emperor. Satele sensed the truth in his words and consented to an alliance.

During a mission on Ilum, Jaric engaged an Imperial agent, codenamed Cipher Nine. The Jedi Master engaged the agent, but he was eventually killed.

Powers and abilities
Jaric Kaedan, like all Jedi, was trained in the ways of the Force and lightsaber combat. A master of the seventh lightsaber form Juyo-Kos, Master Kaedan was considered a living weapon guided by the will of the Force.
