First Mission to Telos

A mission to Telos IV was undertaken by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his apprentice Xanatos, Tahl and the Masterless Padawan Orykan Tamarik in 53 BBY

Prelude
For some time, many members of the Jedi Council, including Grand Master Yoda, expressed their concerns about Xanatos, and decided to give him one final test before granting him the title of Jedi Knight. Xanatos and Qui-Gon were joined by two other jedi to undertake a mission to Telos IV.

The Mission
When the four jedi arrived, they had found out that Xanatos's father, Crion had become a tyrant of the planet. Abusing his power as governor. After the death of his sister Nason, Xanatos was tempted by his father's power and wealth and he joined his to rule the planet. This lead the planet to civil war.

Crion was confronted by Qui-Gon Jinn, who was forced to kill the governor to save Orykan. Upon doing so, Xanatos became enraged and took a ring from his father's finger, searing hot from the fire Crion fell in. He branded it into his cheek, creating a broken-circle scar. Swearing his revenge, Xanatos fled.

Aftermath
Qui-Gon returned to the Temple and blamed himself for Xanatos's failure, and renounced his success in training his first Padawan.
