Legend

this young man was one of the many students who trained at Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4, during the early years of the New Republic. A native of Coruscant, Jaden was invited to train with Master Skywalker after building his own lightsaber without any previous training. Once on Yavin 4, Jaden trained under Kyle Katarn, along with another student by the name of Rosh Penin. Like Rosh, Jaden was given several small missions across the galaxy to seek out information on the Disciples of Ragnos. Jaden himself was dispatched to Hoth, where he encountered a group of Imperial forces working with Alora to gather data on Skywalker's travels to Dagobah. In a heated battle, Jaden was forced to defeat Alora in order to escape Hoth and report on his mission. After Rosh was captured by Tavion near Nar Kreeta, Jaden tried to bring him back, but Tavion was able to stop him. Upon returning to Yavin 4, Jaden was promoted from apprentice to Jedi Knight. His heart remained heavy, however, since Rosh had been lost, and he dedicated his career to investigatng the Disciples of Ragnos. After receiving a distress call from Rosh, Jaden believed that the call was part of a larger plot to capture the Jedi. Katarn decided that they would make the journey anyway, and they managed to find Rosh in the control of Alora. Alora presented Jaden with a choice: drop his lightsaber and allow Rosh to go free, or kill him for being a liar. Although he had initially thought the message a trap, Jaden could see that Rosh's distress call had been real. His friend was scared of what he had become, and wanted to return to Yavin 4. Jaden chose not to fight, which angered Alora. She cut down Rosh before attacking Jaden, but was no match for his skills. As Jaden finally slew Alora, Rosh slumped in the arms of Master Katarn. Jaden knew that he needed to put a stop to the Disciples of Ragnos, and set out for Korriban. There, he confronted Tavion, and was able to defeat her in combat just as she reawakened the spirit of Marka Ragnos. Jaden was then forced to defeat Ragnos as well, destroying the Scepter of Ragnos and cutting off any pathway from the spirit world.
