Legend

this was the true name of the man known as Don-Wan Kihotay. In truth, Korrin was simply a librarian who worked on Obroa-skai as a cataloguer of antiquities during the last years of the Old Republic. Unknown to most beings, including himself, Korrin had a limited sensitivty to the Force. He spent most of his free time reading about the Jedi Knights, a habit that became more intense after the institution of the New Order. When the Imperial Security Bureau shut down his section and destroyed the entire collection of antiquities - on the basis of "a public security issue" - Korrin snapped. He became obsessed with the need to champion the causes of peace and justice in the galaxy, and his Ithorian manager tried to get him off Obroa-skai out of fear of more Imperial reprisals. However, the ISB tracked their ship and shot them down over Aduba-3, and the Ithorian died in the crash. Korrin, however, survived the attack, in part because he had adopted the alias Don-Wan Kihotay.
