Nejaa Halcyon

Nejaa Halcyon (c. 81 BBY - 19 BBY) was a Corellian Jedi Master, and the biological father of Valin Halcyon (later renamed Hal Horn to hide the child from Jedi hunters), and grandfather of Corran Horn.

Biography
Like all Jedi in the Old Republic, Nejaa Halcyon was identified at an early age and taken to Coruscant for training as a youngling under Master Yoda. In the ensuing years he would progress through the ranks of the order - from padawan, to Jedi Knight, and finally to Jedi Master - all the while concealing a secret - like Anakin Skywalker, Halcyon was married.

As a Jedi scout, Halcyon found the force-sensitive Boc Aseca on Ryloth, but since the Twi'ek was too old to enter training, Halcyon had the unfortunate duty to tell the boy that he would never achieve his dream of becoming a Jedi.

After Corellia closed its borders during the Separatist Crisis, Halcyon led a contingent of Corellian Jedi who returned to the Republic proper, stating that, "Our commitment is to the Jedi Council and the Republic that it serves, but we are Corellians by blood and will always have a connection to our home."

Almost immediately after, he was dispatched by the Council as the leader of a mission to reel in the rogue Judicial corvette Scarlet Thranta, which under Captain Zozridor Slayke had undertaken a self-appointed mission against the Separatists.

During the Clone Wars, Halcyon would assist Aayla Secura and Ylenic It'kla in the search for the scientist Ratri Tane on Corellia. Later in the war Halcyon commanded the Republic troops and the Freedom's Sons on Praesitlyn, alongside Anakin Skywalker in his last mission before Jedi knighthood. In the ensuing Battle of Praesitlyn, Halcyon led the Republic to victory.

In the final months of the war, Halcyon, It'kla and another Jedi known only as Desertwind were sent on a mission to uncover the Sith, in a desperate hope to ferret out the Republic's true enemy, and bring the war to an end. Halcyon left his secret wife and child in the care of his friend Rostek Horn, and followed the Sith trail to Susevfi.

There, they uncovered the Sith-inspired cult known as the Jenasaari. In the encounter, Halcyon was killed in combat with Nikkos Tyris, an Anzati Dark Jedi, but not before defeating Tyris.

It'kla would return to Halcyon's family with the news of the Jedi Master's death, and, in the dark years of the Great Jedi Purge, Rostek Horn would adopt Halcyon's son, changing his name to "Hal Horn" to avoid Imperial attention.
