Ganner Rhysode

Ganner Rhysode was a young Jedi trained in the Jedi Academy founded by Luke Skywalker. A good looking human male, he was in the beginning seemingly vain about his appearance. However, in a battle Ganner's face was scarred. This scar Ganner chose to keep to remind him the folly of his vanity.

In the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, Ganner was captured and was supposed to be sacrificed by Jacen Solo who was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. However, the pair turned on their Vong captors and while Jacen Solo headed towards the World Brain, Ganner defended the entrance by himself against a multitude of Vong warriors lead by Nom Anor. In his fight, Ganner issued a challenge "None shall pass!!" to the Vong warriors for a one to one combat. During his fight, Ganner achieved a state that was not attained by another known Jedi Master except Anakin Skywalker in Jedi Trial where he achieved complete oneness with the Force and discovered the truth, there is no Darkside, that the so-called Darkside was the raw and uncontrolled power of The Force. Calling on this enormous power, Ganner defeated one Vong after another. When the situation looked as if Ganner might survive the fight, the Vong Warriors no longer cared about their sense of honour and took on Ganner as a whole. Seeing that the fight cannot last much longer this way, Ganner performed his ultimate sacrifice and using the power of the Force, caused the ceiling to collapse on everyone in the chamber, including himself and Nom Anor, thus allowing Jacen and Vegere to escape.

During their flight back to New Republic space, Vegere confided in Jacen a Force Vision she had seen in her dreams. That after the victory of the New Republic/Galactic Alliance, the Vongs will come to live amongst the population of the galaxy and in their mythology a demon called The Ganner will come into being. This character will become in Vong mythology the demon that guards the entrance to the underworld. And that above the former entrance to the World Brain, the following words will be carved in Basic above a statue of Ganner Rhysode, "None Shall Pass".
