Damien Knights



"“If I allow the Empire to Succeed I'll be failing those I swore to protect.”"

- Damien Knights

Damien Knights is a human male who was born Force-sensitive, and one of the Jedi who survived Order 66. He spent most of his life as a Jedi Guardian during the Rise of the Empire era. The son of a strong force wielder of the Dark Side. Born on the planet Corellia, he inherited his family's strength of the force. Later at age five was taken to the Jedi Temple and was introduced in a new life in a Jedi Order. He became a Padawan of Jedi Master Plo Koon five years later. Before and during the harsh war of the Clone Wars, Damien was one of the greatest duelists and heroes.

Life on Corellia (42 BBY)


Damien was born on Corellia. Damien as child always went down the mountain into the city looking for scraps for tools, building materials, and food. His life was very hard because it would it would take days to go down the mountain since there were at high elevations with also very little people there. He lived there for about 6 years and he started going down the mountain by the age of 4. But one day, a Master from the Jedi Order had come to a diplomatic mission. The Master was Plo Koon, he found Damien and knew he was Force sensitive. He and Knight went to the mountain looking for permission to go to the temple, they accepted knowing he would have a better life. Later that day he said his good byes to his friends and family then left.

​Jedi Training (Clone Wars 22 BBY - 19 BBY)


This time in his life was long and hard, facing trials not many have seen before. Even though it was only 3 years in his life, he has face 4 Sith, about 500 Mercenaries, and 1 Sith lord. It does sound interesting but for Damien, it was way difficult. Everyday Damien would face a challenge from his Masters, other Padawans, or real life situations. At his first mission he went to Hoth and was in love with the environment. The snow, tempature, and look of the area, since he lived in the mountains. But he would search for resources like crystals to help improve sabers. While search, a scout looks off and sees something, something large but blurry. With his back to it all you hear is screams and blood splattered on the ground. Confusion on Damien's face and on his Master's, then BAM! A Wampa appears and with shock on his face he attacks the Wampa head on. With the fight short, the Wampa has cuts all around the torso with a fatal blow in the head. Plo Koon returns and is surprised to see what the left overs are. Damien is concerned but also excited with joy with his first kill. Plo Koon now sees what his potential is.

Becoming a Jedi Knight (21 BBY)


The moment has come, it was the day Knight is a true member of the order. Plo Koon was most excited to see one of his most accomplished students go to Jedi hood so quick. Both Damien and Master Plo Koon go to the Council both extremely nervous but also sad since they had a special relationship by being Master and the Padawan for a few years. All gets dark and lights appear being lightsabers with all in the council pround looks. There is not much detail on what happen forward but it is well known he is picked as a Jedi Sentinel / Counsular since he has mastered both sides.

The Malevolence Crisis (21 BBY)
21 BBY, Plo Koon & Damien later led a patrol fleet of three  Venator-class Star Destroyers to discover an unknown Separatist super weapon that had killed many fleets of cruisers and left no survivors. During the  Battle of Abregado, the  Malevolence, commanded by  GeneralGrievous, wiped out his patrol fleet leaving the Kel Dor,  CommanderWolffe,  Sergeant  Sinker and  Boost trapped in an  escape pod. Koon along with Damien and the survivors held off the " Pod Hunter" that destroyed all other pods, and were picked up by Skywalker and Tano in the  Twilight after Tano, drawing on her close friendship with Master Koon, was able to sense his life force amongst the debris. After being rescued, the group managed to evade a wave from the deadly  ion cannons of the  Malevolence, and Koon united with Skywalker's fleet and prepared the  counterattack on the Separatist warship. [14] <span class="" style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:14px;"> Plo Koon was given the  Blade of Dorin<span class="" style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:14px;">, a  Delta-7BAethersprite starfighter<span class="" style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:14px;">, during the crisis, a gift from Jedi Skywalker.

As Anakin Skywalker led his starfighter squadron through the dangerous Balmorra Run of the Kaliida Nebula, Koon & Damien realized too late the peril they were in as a flock of Neebray mantas posed a threat to their ships. Losing several starfighters, the group made it out and arrived at their destination ahead of the Malevolence. Losing half their squadron to the ship's ion cannon, Koon and Tano were able to persuade a stubborn Skywalker into attacking the ship's ion cannon, causing it to misfire and destroy itself, leaving the endangered medical center in the clear. As reinforcements arrived, Koon met up with the Republic ships and watched as the Malevolencewas eventually destroyed. Later, Plo Koon would help the Jedi fight off the Nightsisters of Dathomir, who had formed an alliance with the Confederacy. He was instrumental in destroying the battle cruiser, the Devastation, upon which he dueled Asajj Ventress alongside Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

Juma 9 (21 BBY)
<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;">Master Koon & Damien met with Obi-Wan Kenobi onboard the  Juma 9<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;"> station but when it came under  attack<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;"> by Separatist forces, the three of them raced across the station to the hangar bay, and then to the core of the station to prevent it from being bombed by droids. The three of them soon went to the control room where they faced the leader of the droid forces,  Kul Teska<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;">. After a brief confrontation with Teska, they forced his retreat, at the expense of their lightsabers which they found hurtling through space. <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;font-size:14px;">Soon after that, Mace Windu and Kit Fisto arrived in time to save them from their predicament. When the Jedi held a briefing, along with Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Aayla Secura <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;font-size:14px;">and Luminara Unduli <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;font-size:14px;">, they discovered that an unknown thief stole something from a Separatist ship, which exploded and crashed on Alzoc III <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;font-size:14px;">.

Attack Against The Jedi (21 BBY)
<p style="color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;"><span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);">Master Koon & Damien led Republic forces alongside with Master Fisto, Clone Commander Wolffe and Major Kendal Ozzel on the planet Khorm in a mission to free the enslaved Khormai people. Fighting alongside resistance forces, Koon & Damien were reluctant to sacrifice the clones in a direct assault on a vital strategic mine and therefore decided to destroy the weather-control station to lessen the amount of casualties. On their way up there, Asajj Ventress ambushed them and brought down an avalanche, wounding both Damien & Koon and breaking his left arm. Despite the injury, he still maintained a willingness to continue the mission and eventually faced off against Ventress again. Fighting only with his right arm, Koon was able to withstand Ventress's attacks and ultimately prevented the Dark Jedi from destroying the mine by Force-pushing her detonator away.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;">Later, Koon & Damien took part in the defense of Felucia. On-planet, the Republic forces led by Master Kenobi and Jedi Skywalker were being steadily driven back to the point that it was urgent that they retreat. While Republic starships engaged Separatist cruisers, Damien led fighters down to the planet to provide a means of transport off-world. After the successful retreat, Plo Koon sat in on the High Council meeting and heard of Ahsoka Tano's reckless actions during the battle. The Council quickly decided that the Padawan needed time away from the battlefield and would benefit from acting as a guard of the Jedi Archives for a time. Following Cad Bane's break in, Koon was present in hologram form within one of the Temple's comm centers when General Grievous transmitted a message, gloating to the Jedi over his capture of Councilor Eeth Koth. While the Jedi discussed battle plans, Commander Wolffe reported to the Jedi Master that he had found a series of hand codes that Koth had planted on the recorded transmission. Reporting on these findings, the Council dispatched Masters Gallia, Kenobi, and Jedi Skywalker to rescue Koth and return him to the Temple from the Saleucami system. <h2 style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;">The Hunt For Boba Fett (21 BBY) <p style="color:rgb(255,252,252);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Following the sabotage of the Endurance by Boba Fett, Damien was briefing the High Council in a data room within the Jedi Temple when the astromech droid R2-D2 interupted with a message. Playing a hologram which showed that Mace Windu and Skywalker were badly wounded and stranded on Vanqor, Damien and Padawan Ahsoka Tano left for the planet to rescue the two Jedi. Following the rescue mission, the Temple received a message from Aurra Sing, the bounty hunter holding a group of Republic soldiers hostage, warning them to come and find them. Once more accompanied by Tano, Damien descended into the  Coruscant Underworld  looking for  Jango Fett 's old compatriots in order to track down Sing. <span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);">After a string of unsuccessful bar investigations, Tano discovered that Sing had recently killed her companion  Castas<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);"> on  Florrum<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);">. Despite being forced to fight their way out of the establishment, she and Damien had a solid lead and made a beeline for the planet. When they arrived, they were greeted by  Hondo Ohnaka<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);">, who warned them of a trap inside. Damien went first, to find Aurra Sing at a table. Damien sat down, and Fett came in behind him and pulled a gun on him. He was surprised to find him there, and not Windu, but was even more surprised when Tano came and held her lightsaber to Sing's throat. Sing kicked the table at Damien, and shot at Tano, who blocked it. Sing dashed away, and Tano chased after. Fett tried to escape, but Damien caught him. He asked Fett where the hostages were, but he refused to answer. Damien brought him to Ohnaka, who convinced him to reveal the information. Transmitting the information to his Padawan companion, Damien was able to see the hostages freed,  Bossk<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);"> and Fett captured, and  Aurra Sing<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);"> go down to her "death" in the  Slave I<span style="line-height:23px;color:rgb(255,255,255);">. He then brought Fett back to Coruscant and put in the prison there. Damien <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:11px;line-height:0px;">  <span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;">was present at the Temple when  Delta Squad<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;"> brought back the remains of  Master Halsey<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;"> and his Padawan  Knox<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;"> from the  massacre<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;"> on  Devaron<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;">. Damien surmised that there was a new  threat<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;">, possibly a newly apointed  Sith Lord<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:23px;">.

Meeting With Mandalorians (21 BBY)
Damien is out on his own as a Knight doing a mission to protect Shipping's from Ryloth. All was good, but a frigate, unknown to the Republic at that time came and attack the shipyards. Explosions all around, ships sinking down below into the vast space. Damien had to act fast before they would destroy the imports. He blasted at their guns, destroying a few but still was not enough. Damien acted fast and went straight for the frigate, going through the hanger and almost destroying his entire ship.

Damien ran through, noticing the marks on the ship seeing they were centuries old, and Mandalorian. Mandalorians came with the right armor, markings, and weapons. All fired but missing but Damien was ahead slicing through there stomachs and throats. Finally through waves of Mandalorians, Damien gets to the bridge to see a Commander with Trophies all around. All ready for a fight he leaves quick in an escape pod an on a terminal, Self destruct. Knight tries to deactivate it but with not enough time he sprints to the hanger and into his ship. He leaves with a swift escape before of it's explosion. With the shipyards saved and the imports safe, Damien is awarded Knight Honor and known for courage and knowledge.

Meeting his Ancestors (19 BBY)
Damien has almost completed to the rank of Master but before he can rank up, he has a mission to Illum to collect crystals for new Padawans. While landing on a planet there was a blizzard and that was extremely dangerous for this season. He rushes to a cave to stay safe for the time being. He was going to sleep to waste time but he sees a light in the distance. Being always curious he walks over and sees that he is in an ancient temple that was both Jedi and Sith. Then a ghost appears showing distinct resemblance of Damien. Records say it was his old ancestor and warns him for the future. But then another ghost appears, also being an ancestor. Both during the Old Republic times and both achieved greatness on their sides. The other Knight's warned for his future with great force that he may die if he turns. Even though one was a Sith and wanted all Jedi dead, she wanted her past known too all that lives in the Order. The Jedi only wants to warn him but he goes inside Damien to give him power. The Sith ghost does the same, being both a side of Dark and Light for Damien. Damien goes back to the temple not completeing his mission and the Jedi Order worried. The council questions and Damien tells what he experienced. The ghost appear surprising them and also worrying of Damien. They order for him to not rank to Master and sends him with no missions for the next year.

Order 66 (19 BBY)
Damien was finally sent to a mission with Ki-Adi-Mundi to the planet Mygeeto along with Bacara and a large contingent of Galactic Marines clone troopers. They established a command center amid the mountains of the planet with several tents, one of which was established for Mundi & Damien to privately meditate in. They were joined by a unit of troopers from the elite 501st Legion who had been personally assigned by Palpatine to apparently eliminate a droid energy collector on the planet. Unbeknownst to Mundi & Damien, they were actually seeking a power crystal from the planet that Palpatine needed for a top-secret superlaser weapon he was developing under the code name Hammertong. For reasons they could not identify, Mundi & Damien were suspicious of the presence of the 501st and the fact that they were operating outside of their direct control, but felt reassured after Bacara assured them they were trustworthy.undefinedMundi & Damien accompanied the 501st on their mission on Mygeeto, helping them push through their battle droid forces and reach what the two Jedi believed was the droid energy collector. As they reached it, the Jedi also helped them destroy a Separatist shield generator so the 501st could reach and obtain the technology, which was taken back to a LAAT/i dropship. Mundi & Damien's cooperation during this mission proved to be a revelation for the members of the 501st, as it marked the first time they realized the Jedi could be fooled, which in turn made them realize the Jedi could be killed if it became necessary. From their Mygeeto command center, Mundi & Damien remotely participated in another Jedi High Council meeting, where Kenobi revealed he had indeed discovered Grievous' location. The Jedi began to discuss the possibility that, upon the conclusion of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order might have to forcibly remove Palpatine from power if he refused to give up the extraordinary amount of control he had received throughout the war. Mundi & Damien suggested that if such an extreme measure indeed became necessary, the Order might have to code with major political ramifications from the Republic, since Palpatine's dictatorship was technically obtained legally through the super-majority he controlled in the Galactic Senate. Mundi & Damien advised it would be up to the Jedi Order to take control of the Senate for an interim period until a new transition of power could commence, an unprecedented and potentially treasonous suggestion, but one the Council ultimately agreed was necessary. Prior to engaging in his final push during the battle on Mygeeto, Mundi & Damien meditated and reflected once again upon the sacrifice Rivi-Anu, which helped inspire him to continue on with his duties. As he finished this meditation, Bacara informed him the troops were ready for deployment. Mundi & Damien led their clone troopers into the battle, which consisted mainly of urban fighting among the remains of the modern Mygeeto towers. Engaging in firefights from house to house, Mundi & Damien along with Mundi's men slowly began pushing the Separatist forces back, although at great cost to the Mygeeto cityscape, which was getting destroyed by the Confederacy's tri-droids and the Republic's artillery equipment. Amid the warfare, Bacara received a transmission that Palpatine had issued Order 66, a top secret contingency order that branded the Jedi as traitors of the Republic and called for all clone troopers around the galaxy to execute their Jedi leaders without question. Aware of the Ki-Adi-Mundi's strong battle prowess, the Galactic Marines decided to wait until Mundi was at his most vulnerable to attack. The opportunity presented itself as they reached a narrow bridge into one of Mygeeto's massive cities, where they were met with heavy resistance fire from the other side. Mundi encouraged his men to follow him and charged toward the enemy without hesitation. The clones, however, immediately stopped in their tracks, prompting a surprised and confused Mundi to turn around and face them. Bacara hesitated only a brief moment before executing Order 66 because he was shocked by the idea of a Jedi coup, but he had no doubt of the order's authenticity and grew furious with the Jedi, thinking back to all his men who had died following Mundi's command. Damien however saw the clones shoot Mundi down and murdered all the opposing clones .Bacara and his fellow troopers raised their blaster rifles and opened fire on the Cerean Jedi. Realizing too late he had been betrayed, Mundi raised his lightsaber and deflected a handful of the shots, sending them hurling back toward the clones and killing three of them. However, one of the blasts struck Mundi in the stomach, which rendered him incapable of defending himself from a subsequent barrage of shots. Dropping his lightsaber, Mundi was riddled with blaster fire and fell to the ground, dead. Damien however saw the clones shoot Mundi down and murdered all the opposing clones & took off to Coruscant.

Damien returned to the ruined Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he fought his way through the Beacon Room and reversed the code to warn all remaining Jedi to stay away from the Temple instead of returning. He then came across recordings on Temple security camera TR4-121 that showed Anakin Skywalker cutting down Cin Drallig & Jedi Younglings and bowing before Palpatine and being procalimed his new Sith apprentice. Damien then left & went into Exile as one of the survivors of Order 66

Secret Apprentice (2 BBY)
On a unexpected day, Damien was attacked by Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller. He was the previous Jedi to be attacked before Shaak Ti was. During their duel, Starkiller's strength in power was greater than the Jedi. However, Damien has the skills and precision to dodge any of his attacks. Even though the secret apprentice was trained by the dangerous Lord Vader, he tried to persuade him that he could be used as Vader's weapon and be killed one day. Eventually it only made Starkiller's rage increase. In some part of the duel, Damien disarmed one of his hand from carrying a pair of lightsabers but he later received a cut to the arm. As Starkiller's blade was about to end Rafew's life, the Jedi blocked his blade with his bare hands. His technique set him in surprise which gave her to advantage to decrease his strength and power with his force lightning. With the dangerous Jedi killer low in power, Damien quickly made a ran and escaped the planet. Knowing now that his life is on the line with the Jedi title, he went into hiding for a while and made up a new identity as a simple citizen from a planet.

Joining The Rebellion (3 ABY)
Before the Battle of Hoth, Damien volunteered to help the Rebellion to end the Empire's long terror of fear and darkness. While helping the Rebellion, he never revealed himself as a Jedi. Even though he has been in Battles during the Clone Wars as a young Jedi many time, he was able to express his experience advice's and help to help them. During his experience with the Rebellion, he was able to meet the two secret siblings of Anakin Skywalker, Luke and Leia.

New Jedi Order (4 ABY)
After the long lasting era of the Empire came to the end, the Jedi revealed his secret as a Jedi and pledged to the New Jedi Order as a recognized Jedi. He resumed his role as a Sentinel and trained a young Jedi one years after. Damien trained the young Jedi for fourteen years to rank Knight and was promoted to Jedi Master. He was then offered to be part of the High Council which Damien accepted it. As a Jedi who has been through the Clone Wars, he decided to be the Jedi Battlemaster of the order and train Luke every Lightsaber form.
