Arkaine was a decorated Jedi Master and pilot of the both the Jedi Order and New Jedi Order. He was a Mandalorian by birth. Arkaine was a skilled Lightsaber duelist, specializing in the use of Ataru, Juyo, and Shii-Cho lightsaber combat.

Born on Mandalore in 55 BBY, he was taken by an unknown Jedi Master at the age of 2. He stuidied with noted Jedi such as Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Youngling, and become the Padawan of Jacen Shaw in 36 BBY. Arkaine had a pretty normal time during his time as Shaw's Padawan, learning his lightsaber skills from the Master, including the use of Juyo, Shaw's preferred form. Arkaine later complete his Knight trails in 30 BBY and started the study of Ataru and Shii-Cho lightsaber forms as his power increased.

By the start of the Clone Wars, Arkaine was a accomplished Jedi. His father, Valkar Korr, having finally found Arkaine, was concerned about Arkaine's role in the war. Korr had actually been one of the Training Sergeants Jango Fett hand-picked to help training the Clone Army and felt that the Jedi shouldn't trust these troops. He instead offered Arkaine a special group of Mandalorian Protectors to act as a special operations unit. After asking the Jedi High Council, they agreed and the group specialized in Search and Destroy missions and scouting operation throughout the war. Having a team he could trust meant that when Order 66 happened, he was able to escape and go into hiding.

His exile lasted until 10 BBY. While hiding on Corellia, Darth Vader was able to finally track him down using a tip given to him by Boba Fett. The two enter into a epic lightsaber duel where Arkaine would have died if it weren't for the timely arrival of his father, Valkar Korr and a team of Mandalorian commandos, after finding out the Fett gave Vader his son's location. The team chased off Vader, and Korr then had Arkaine transported to secret medical facility on Mandalore, where Arkaine was placed in cyro-stasis after going through extensive surgeries to recover from multiple stabbing wounds and cut to his chest and legs.

Arkaine would not wake up into 16 ABY. His father was long dead at that point, but had left Arkaine with an inheritance in the tens of millions of credits and a factory-new Firespray-31. His father's only instructions were to have the Firespray's modifications made by MandalMotors. Arkaine followed his father wish and the Indomitable, Arkaine's heavily modified Firespray-31 was commissioned.

Arkaine later linked up with Luke Skywalker and the rest of the New Jedi Order, even teaching at the various academies the new order had. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Arkaine used his now considerable contacts in the New Republic military to conduct scouting and special operations missions. When the New Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Alliance, his mission stay the same, but most noticeably had the highest kill percentage of Coralskippers during the battle to retake Coruscant. He was made a Master following the war.

Arkaine also took part in the events of the Swarm War, the Second Galactic Civil War, and later events.
