Shado Vao

Shado Vao was a Twi'lek Jedi living around the time of the Sith-Imperial War. Shado and his twin sister, Astraal, were orphaned and taken in by the Imperial Mission, where Shado was later recruited by the Jedi. Shado was known for his exceptional lightsaber skills, with a single blade or with a less traditional blue double-bladed lightsaber. It is possible that he was a descendant of Mission Vao.

Biography


Shado was Kol Skywalker's Padawan, and was once a good friend of Cade Skywalker. At the end of the Sith-Imperial War, the Sith led an assault on the Jedi Praxaeum at Ossus, where Shado was training. As Jedi Masters Kol Skywalker and Wolf Sazen fought off oncoming waves of Stormtroopers and Sith, Shado and Cade were charged with getting the Jedi Younglings off-planet. However, when Cade disobeyed his father's orders and was seemingly killed, Shado was forced to abandon his good friend to protect the children.

Afterwards, Shado become Sazen's Padawan, completing the path to Knighthood he had begun under Kol Skywalker. Shado left Master Sazen after earning the rank of Jedi Knight, but the two reunited when Shado responded to a message from Sazen to meet on the planet Daluuj. Besides Sazen, two other Jedi were gathered there, one being Rasi Tuum. Wolf tried to convince the three of them to join him in a search for the long-lost Cade Skywalker. Their group fell prey to a Sith attack, though, and only Vao and Sazen escaped. Vao was tired of being hunted, and was anxious to be a hunter, and thought Cade was as good a start as any.
