Vahn Fyr



"If you only look after your own hide, then you're not a man."

- Fenn Shysa

 is a Mandalorian bodyguard and a Gray Jedi. Despite his upbringing under the ideology of the "New Mandalorian" regime, he identifies most with the warrior culture of the Mando'ade. He's developed the nickname "Peridot Paladin" through his sense of honor and his valiant efforts at maintaining peace.

Early life
Vahn was born to Talon Fyr and Ayva Kistra in the year 513ABY on Mandalore. He was discovered to be a Force-Sensitive at the age of four, and Yavok Fenn, a Jedi Knight and an old friend to the couple, offered to train young Vahn in the Force and the Jedi Way. Talon and Ayva gladly accepted, under the condition that Vahn would return at the age of 13 to participate in the verd'goten,  the Mandalorian rite of passage. Fenn agreed and took Vahn to Coruscant to begin his training.

In the nine years between his arrival at Coruscant and his eventual return to Mandalore, he learned Form I of lightsaber combat, and developed an understanding of Stava, the Noghri martial art. As such, he eventually learned how to wield a saber staff.

Upon his return to Mandalore, he participated in the verd'goten and was recognized as a Mandalorian adult for his talent as a Padawan under Fenn, a Mando'ade himself. However, there were murmurs amongst some of the villagers that Vahn had used the Force to aid him in the rites of passage.

Career
He is a freelancer and part-time bodyguard, occasionally taking on a bounty when he isn't working for the Council.
