Biography


Valin, named for his paternal grandfather Valin Halcyon, was born about four years after Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign against the New Republic. A Force-sensitive, Valin eventually attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 to train as a Jedi Knight.

Valin developed skills similar to those of Jacen Solo, particularly his affinity with animals. Around the age of eleven, Valin found he could communicate with animals through the Force, though, like his father and grandfather before him, he was weak in the art of telekinesis. Since he couldn't lift a stone with telekinesis, he instead used the Force to get small insects, called garnants to move it by convincing them it was food. His father saw the stone move and thought Valin had used telekinesis. Valin explained how he got the stone to move. Valin had brought food and left it for the garnants to keep his promise before leaving.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Valin was trapped on Yavin 4 with the other Praxeum students when the Peace Brigade blockaded the system. Fortunately, Valin, Sannah and Kam Solusar managed to survive long enough to escape during Anakin Solo's risky mission to save the trapped Jedi.

For the remainder of the war, Valin trained with the remaining Jedi initiates onboard his maternal grandfather's ship Errant Venture. Valin traveled to Zonama Sekot at the end of the conflict for Luke's meeting with the surviving Jedi.

During the Second Corellian Insurrection, Valin began traveling to other worlds doing Jedi missions. It is presumed that he became a Jedi Knight around this time.
