Legend

this Sullustan Jedi Knight was an idealist and a dreamer. He cherished life above all else, and strove to be a model of peace and contemplation. Arkanian and a small team of Jedi were dispatched to the Lahara Sector, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars, to rescue the crew of the Iron Tether. The ship had been attacked by Separatist forces and driven into the Cowl Crucible. The Jedi found that the ship's crew had survived, and returned them to Coruscant. When Emperor Palpatine began hunting down the Jedi, Arkanian went into hiding, and took Corwin Shelvay as an apprentice. They were branded as outlaws and fugitives, and they roamed the Outer Rim in searching of surviving Jedi Knights. When Corwin was captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne, Arkanian infiltrated Coruscant to rescue his student. He was caught by Tremayne, and they engaged in a lightsaber duel. Arkanian lost, and was fatally injured before Shelvay could rescue him. Arkanian died a few days after they escaped from Coruscant.
