Name: Venku "Kad" Skirata

Rank: Jedi Padawan

Tier: Low 1

Background: Venku Skirata, otherwise known by the name of Kad Skirata, is a Force Sensitive Human Male and son of the Republic Commando Darman Skirata, and Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan. Raised on Mandalore after the fall of the Republic, having been hidden deliberately both from the Jedi during the waning years of the Clone Wars, and now from the newly instituted Galactic Empire, out of concern of their purging of Force Sensitives and surviving Jedi from the aftermath of Order 66, along with concerns Venku would be taken and used to create a new, Force Sensitive Clone Trooper program to replace the degrading Jango Fett's DNA in use of making new Troopers. Under the watchful eyes of Clan Skirata, Kad would be trained in the Force and Lightsaber Combat secretly by the former Jedi Knight Bardan Jusik, and much like any other Mandalorian be given thorough training by the elder members of his Clan and family friends in place of his Father.

Later in life, Kad began to go by his birth name of Venku more often, using his two different names and modifying them as aliases or pseudonyms when need be. However, Kad would not be given time to further develop and find his place in the rapidly changing landscape of Mandalore, as in 0 BBY, he would not find himself in his Mandalore. Everything was vastly different, yet still similar. 

In confusion, Kad found the date, which was roughly 20 years before what it was for Kad prior to this. With nowhere to go and no family to turn to, Kad could only try to seek council with another Force-Sensitive. Knowing of his parents pasts, he'd make way to Coruscant and Arca Company Barracks and find such aid in the Jedi there, though to his surprise being Atris rather than the likes of Arligan Zey, and would formally join the Jedi Order after having considered his options in what appeared to be the past. 

After joining the Jedi, the young man met many new faces among their ranks, such as the members of the Jedi Council, the similarly displaced Satele Shan, Bastila Shan and Revan, the planet's guardian Arye Prays, The Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig, Sarn Vals, his alternate mother Etain-Tur Mukan, his estranged aunt Arla Fett, and a fellow wayward padawan and friend in Willow. After regaining some bearings and learning informally from the senior Jedi around him, Venku would temporarily return to Mandalore alongside the Knight Hazel Ivy in order to view the planet from a new perspective, and would meet an eventual close friend in Evaar'la Mereel.

Upon returning to Tython, Venku would be assigned a new Master, being the Jedi Master; Men. Being paired with a Special Operations General boded well with the young man who was far looser with Jedi customs, and led the two to becoming a potent pair, even with Kad's level of emotional distance. The two became a fast pair who were sent on a series of highly difficult, strict missions such as their Diplomatic Envoy to Bespin, Investigation of the Ringworlds with the 415th Exploratory Corps, and internal investigation of an apparent mutiny on New Holstice. 

These difficult missions and Venku's rapid adaptation to his new life led to him being swiftly given trials afterwards that yet remain to be spoken of, before ultimately being ended prematurely due to the raid on Tython by the Bedlam Raiders of Koboh. This led to Venku being extracted from his Knight Trials to aid the task force heading to Koboh, where he'd eventually find that an individual identical to himself was the long lost commander of the Bedlam Raiders, Dagan Gera. 

It was during this point that his mask slipped entirely, with the young man becoming increasingly emotionally volatile and entangled with Willow, culminating in a short lived romantic relationship ended by her abduction and conversion of beliefs to the Raider's side. Having failed to bring back one of his closest friends and romantic partner and being told of his abject failings by his alternate self in Dagan Gera, Kad eventually returned defeated to Tython, questioning the Council on why he'd not been told of Gera's existence and informing them of the happenings and what he'd found out about the man through his helmet's data logs. 

Afterwards, he made a homecoming to Mandalore, speaking with Evaar'la on what'd happened to him over the past year, and finally meeting and confronting the past version of his Clan before ultimately returning to duty, forcibly putting his guard up once more and pushing through his own emotional and bodily scars to aid those in need as a dark plot surrounds the outer rim, with cultists named "The Aspirants" having attacked Bar'leth and spread across the outer rim's various planets with strong histories with the Force.

Weaknesses: Kad will likely go into a combat scenario from the beginning with non-lethal means, so an opponent going all out from the very beginning could potentially kill him. Kad loves the Mandalorian people, feeling an intense duty to his kind. As such, creating scenarios that seriously threaten the Mandalorian people or innocents will cause him to become distracted, with the man prioritising their health over his own; though one must be careful of the boomerang effect, with Skirata losing his restraints on killing. His instincts encourage him to use his Mandalorian skills, and thus it is recommended to approach a combat scenario with this in mind.
