Garen Muln

Garen Muln was a Jedi Knight during the final decades of the Old Republic and a survivor of Order 66. At about 41 BBY he became the apprentice of Clee Rhara. He was a good friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and though the two would occasionally quabble over pointless matters, they kept a close relationship over the years.

As a teenager, Garen acted as a decoy of Obi-Wan, due to their similar appearances, when the Dark Jedi Xanatos infiltrated the Jedi Temple in a nearly successful attempt to assassinate Yoda.

When Jedi Master Clee Rhara established a Jedi starpiloting program on Coruscant's moon of Centax 2, Garen was one of the first to volunteer to train. He proved to be one of its most talented pilots, which was probable reason as to why Rhara chose him as Padawan.

During a mission together to the Xanlanner System, Garen and fellow Jedi Siri Tachi had to detour to Vanqor to save Obi-Wan's Anakin Skywalker from the deranged scientist, Jenna Zan Arbor. A few months later, he accompanied, Mace Windu and Bant Eerin to Radnor to save Obi-Wan, Siri, and their apprentices from another confrontation with Zan Arbor and Granta Omega, Xanatos' son.

During the Clone Wars, Garen was one of the hundreds of Jedi assigned as commanders to battalions of Clone Troopers across the galaxy. Near the end of the war, his group was assigned to the planet Acherin. He worked with the Separatist commanders there, Toma and Raina Quill, to negotiate a truce. However Palpatine, declared all Jedi as enemies, and Garen was forced into hiding, with help from Toma and Raina. They were able to get him off planet so that he could hide on the frozen world of Ilum.

When he arrived on Ilum, Garen remained in the Crystal Caves where all Jedi went to obtain their lightsaber crystals. Here, Garen met another Jedi in hiding, but she later left to go to Coruscant. For nearly a year, Garen remained at the caves, gradually weakening from malnutrition, until het met former Jedi Padawan, Ferus Olin, the old apprentice of Siri. Ferus informed him of Obi-Wan's survival and the two fled the planet, but not until after they fought off an Imperial scouting group.

Garen reunited with his old frend Kenobi, but he was too weak to talk along the journey. They arrived at a hidden asteroid, that Ferus planned to use as a makeshift sanctuary for Jedi. Here he was healed by an old acquaintance, Raina Quill, who was also with Toma.
