Legend

this man was a native of the planet Mrlsst, the son of two highly-educated professors. It was his mother, an expert in the field of genetics, who discovered that his midichlorian count was quite high, and that Daakman had the potential to become a Jedi Knight. He was one of the strongest Jedi of his generation, attained the rank of Jedi Master in his thirties after successfully training his first Padawan. He discovered his second Padawan, Sha'a Gi, on the planet Ord Biniir, and spent a good deal of his time drawing the awkward youth out of his shell. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the pair proved to be a formidable opponent to the pirate gangs that terrorized the Outer Rim. It was on one of these missions following the Battle of Geonosis - during which Barrek's first Padawan died in the fighting - that Barrek and Gi discovered the droid foundries on Hypori. Barrek relayed information on the planet's location to Coruscant, and was told to await a task force sent to destroy the foundries. However, was doomed almost from the start, as General Grievous swiftly decimated the Jedi forces. The starship on which Barrek and Gi were traveling was shot down, but they managed to survive the crash, only to be surrounded by battle droids. Grievous himself arrived on the scene to dispatch the Jedi, and Barrek was among the first to stand up to the unusual being. Barrek's skills were no match for Grievous', though, and Barrek was swiftly cut down.
