Biography

Early Life

Kienshi Tian was part of a wealthy family in the cultural capital of Esseles, Calamar. This city is known for it’s devotion to the arts, and his father was an owner of one of the cities popular theatres. He believed that his life would revolve around the stage and from birth expected a life of theatre on his home planet.

This all changed when he discovered that he was force sensitive. The family had birthed potential Jedi before, the most successful of them being Kienshi’s cousin Wolf Sazen. He was far older than Kienshi and had spent his life training, moving through various clans.

At this time Wolf was a member of the Jedi Council for the clan “Jedi of Freedom”. He had no Padawan and when he heard that Kienshi was force sensitive he sent word across the Holonet offering to take Kienshi to the {JoF} Temple as a hopeful.

Kienshi left shortly afterwards to begin his career as a Jedi

{JoF}

Kienshi moved quickly through the {JoF} ranking system. Upon arrival Wolf Sazen managed to convince the Council that he could take Kienshi on directly and skip him past all of the Hopeful and Youngling stages that most Jedi admitted to the temple went through. Partly because of Kienshi's age, and partly as a favour to Wolf the Council allowed him to do so. Kienshi then spent many hours training with his new master and learning the basics of lightsaber combat, force control and understanding the teachings of the Jedi.

Wolf was a tough master and continuously pushed Kienshi to take trials and improve his rank. This Kienshi did, and he passed his first set and moved up to the second stage of {JoF} Padawanship: Jedi. He barely scraped through the trials by having a lucky duel against his master, which he didn't win, but dealt enough damage to slip through and by successfully completing the jump trial. It was really his knowledge of the Jedi Code, the Jedi Law, and the theory behind the lightsaber forms that moved him up as he could quote the information word perfect. This head for knowledge and facts would serve Kienshi later in his career.

At this juncture of Kienshi’s career Wolf started sharing with him some anxieties he had about the direction in which {JoF} was heading. Some of the newer members were straying off the path of the true Jedi and their masters were not stopping them. The clan leaders also were distant and frequently away from the temple meaning that there was no definite watch over the Temple. The council were becoming complacent and the clan seemed to be at a halt.

Wolf suggested a move to a Yavin based clan called {TO} The Order. He knew some people who were part of this clan and cited it as a place of honour; a cut above {JoF}. Kienshi didn’t have to follow him. However, he too had felt disillusioned about the direction of his clan and the two of them left shortly for Yavin.
