Biography
A Force-sensitive Ithorian, Byph was trained in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Order's members were forced to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. As the war was waged around them, Byph was deemed to be one of the top members of his clan and suitable to travel to the sacred Jedi world of Ilum to participate in the ancient ritual known as The Gathering. Escorted to Ilum by Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Byph and several other Initiates met with Grand Master Yoda in the Temple at the mouth of the Crystal Caves.

Entering into the caves in search of a crystal for use in his personal lightsaber, Byph was forced to navigate the caves alone while the other Initiates split off into pairs. Fearing the darkness of the caves and what creatures may lurk within, Byph cowered in the dark as what appeared to be a large arachnid-like beast leered down at him in the caves. Spying his crystal locked in the pincers of the beast, Byph was forced to overcome his fears and reach inside to retrieve the crystal. Once his, the apparition vanished, revealed to be a projection of Byph's own fears and the mysterious illusions cast by the caves. Making his way back out of the caves to await the other Initiates in the Temple, Yoda commended him on overcoming his fears.

Returning to the Crucible, Byph constructed a blue-bladed lightsaber.
