Legend

this young man was the heir to the Malreaux family holdings on the planet Vjun, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from him mother when he was a young infant. His father had just gone mad, and was killing the household staff because he believed they were poisoning him. Whirry was deathly afraid for Whie's life as the Viscount raged through the house. She pleaded with the Jedi to take her son, believing that Whie would be going to a better place than Vjun, but his absence only drove her insane. Whie, meanwhile, grew stronger in the Force, and eventually chose by Jedi Master Maks Leem as a Padawan. Whie was one of the small number of students who were exceptionally gifted in the Force, but took special care not to abuse his powers. What troubled Whie the most were the semi-prescient dreams he had at night, many of which soon came to pass as actual events. Some of these dreams were visions of his homeworld of Vjun, which he barely recognized. These dreams left him mentally and physically drained, and were a cause of concern for Master Leem as well, especially when he dreamed of events surrounding his own death. Whiel studying at the Temple, Whie participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and found himself fighting against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - in the final round. She surprised him by fighting through the pain of an intense thumb-hold to coil her arm and use her leverage to throw him to the ground. With the wind knocked out of him, Whie was forced to yield, much to the surprise of those attending. The tournament made them friends, but their abilities were tested shortly afterward, when both were assigned - along with their Masters - to accompany Yoda to Vjun. It was the knowlegde of this mission that put his latest dreams into perspective, as Whie realized that he was dreaming about Scout, covered in blood, at the hands of Asajj Ventress. While en route to Vjun, Whie was intercepted by the droid Fidelis, who revealed himself as a part of the Malreaux house. It was Fidelis who revealed much about Whie's past and his family, including the fact that Whie once had a brother. Whie was badly shaken when Maks Leem was killed by Ventress on Phindar, and resented the fact that Yoda tried to take his mind off her death by asking him to repair a ship and eat something. When they finally reached Vjun, Whie found it difficult to ignore the call of the Force, but he was blind to the fact that it was the Dark Side that was calling to him. Scout struggled to keep him focused, but her efforts were undermined when Fidelis - acting on orders from Whirry Malreaux - arranged for the Padawans to be trapped in the Crying Room with Ventress. The Padawans were spared when Solis distracted Ventress, and were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had tracked Yoda to Vjun. Upon returning to Coruscant, Whie chose to sever his ties to Vjun and the Malreaux family, but was unsure about his future with the Jedi. He continued to train at the Jedi Temple, but was among the hundreds of students who were murdered by Anakin Skywalker, who had become the apprentice of Darth Sidious and was dispatched to cleanse the Jedi Temple of all living Jedi.
