Whie Malreaux/Legends

Whie Malreaux (32 BBY–19 BBY) was a Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars.

Biography
From a very young age, it was clear that the graceful, controlled Whie was exceptionally strong with the Force, second only to Anakin Skywalker. One of Whie's gifts was the ability to see the future in his dreams and meditations. At first, this frightened him, but he learned to live with it by taking to heart that the future was always in motion; nothing was set.

His homeworld, Vjun, was a barren world where poison rain fell from the sky. Whie's family was one of the wealthiest on the planet, and lived in a castle: the Château Malreux. The better families on Vjun traditionally had very high midi-chlorian counts, which was a mark of status among them. After a trade route was set up with the Galactic Republic, the Jedi became involved, wanting to take away the Force-sensitive babies for Jedi training.

Whie's father, the Count, was extremely interested in the midi-chlorian phenomenon, and tried to genetically enhance natural midi-chlorians in Vjun's population. The experiment was only a partial success; the people went mad and started killing each other. Whie's mother, half drunk and crazy, gave him away to a passing Jedi.

All of this was unbeknownst to Whie, but the Clone Wars changed that. Count Dooku had taken over Château Malreux and made it into his hiding place, where he set up a trap for the Order's most powerful Jedi Master, Yoda. The Jedi Master selected a small group of Jedi to come along with him to Vjun. Whie was among them, as was his Master Maks Leem, a fellow Padawan Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy (nicknamed "Scout"), and her master Jai Maruk.

While Yoda confronted Count Dooku, Scout and Whie ran into Asajj Ventress. Always a sly talker, she tried to persuade him to join the Dark Side that was already pulling him. Holding the life of Scout in her hand, she forced him to choose. Whie was in doubt, but Scout managed to say that he would make the right choice. And he did.

Yoda was able to escape from Dooku's trap, and Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi came to the rescue. Ventress stole a shuttle and escaped.

The Jedi returned to Coruscant together, but Whie couldn't tell if he would ever feel at home again in the Jedi Temple. Yoda told him that he would always be home if he could feel the Force around him.

Whie was one of the Padawans in the Jedi Temple during the execution of Order 66. He was sparring with Bene when Anakin Skywalker entered the training hall of the Temple. Whie did not survive his encounter with the newly-named Darth Vader as he charged and was cut across the chest. Cin Drallig and Bene were soon to be next.
