Odan-Urr/Legends

"I much prefer to read history, rather than make it."

- Odan-Urr

Odan-Urr was a Draethos Jedi librarian assigned to assist Empress Teta in securing the Koros system by his Jedi Master Ooroo before and during the Great Hyperspace War. Descended from a race of fierce predators, he communicated by telepathic means, contacting all his people through the Force, rather than speaking.

Biography
Odan-Urr was trained by the ancient Jedi Master Ooroo on the planet Ossus, and was content to simply study the history of the Jedi and the Sith before being dispatched to the Koros system to aid Empress Teta in uniting Kirrek in the final battle of the Unification Wars. Together with Memit Nadill, Odan-Urr used his Battle Meditation to defeat the marauding rebels on Kirrek and bring peace to the Koros system.



While on Koros Major, Odan-Urr had a nightmarish vision of Marka Ragnos' death and the war it would begin. He was taken to Coruscant by Teta, in order to alert the Galactic Republic to the impending danger. Unfortunately, the Republic ignored Odan-Urr's vision, disregarding it as the delusion of a young and inexperienced Knight. Teta, however, was not as demeaning, and mustered her own armed forces to prepare for a Sith attack.

As the Sith attacks began, Odan-Urr joined his own Master, Ooroo, in the defense of Kirrek against Naga Sadow's Massassi forces. When the tide began turning to the Sith forces, Ooroo sacrificed himself to kill them off with the cyanogen atmosphere in which he lived. His dying words to his student were prophetic, telling the young Jedi that he would become one of the most ancient Jedi ever. Odan-Urr stood by Empress Teta's side throughout the Great Hyperspace War, and assisted in the destruction of Naga Sadow's Sith Empire.

After searching the wreckage of Sadow’s ship, Odan-Urr found the Sith Holocron and took it with him to Ossus, where he founded the Great Jedi Library. Odan-Urr later presided over the Jedi Assemblies for more than 600 years prior to the assembly on Deneba to discuss the rising Dark Side tide and the Krath. In his time on Ossus, Odan-Urr became increasingly focused on academic pursuits, but still found time to train incoming Jedi, like Nomi Sunrider. As Odan-Urr grew in experience and renown, he aided in the development of the Jedi Code.

But his possession of the dark holocron did not go unnoticed. Exar Kun infiltrated the Ossus facility, killed Odan-Urr, stole the holocron and claimed that Odan-Urr had proclaimed him a Master before his death. Appropriately, Odan-Urr died surrounded by his books.
