You know I've been alone for... a while now. Without any...purpose. Just hiding. It's no way to live. Not for a Jedi. Or a droid. Maybe Cere was right. Maybe we're done hiding.

~ Cal Kestis
Background
Cal Kestis was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 during the Clone Wars, due to the sacrifice of his Master Jaro Tapal. He became a member of the Scrapper Guild on the planet Bracca, working there as a rigger during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Before the rise of Emperor Palpatine, Kestis was a Padawan who served the Jedi Order during the final days of the Galactic Republic. He served alongside his mentor Jedi General Tapal in the galaxy-wide Clone Wars.
Everything changed for the young Jedi-in-training on the day of Order 66, the purge that all-but wiped out the Jedi Order. Betrayed by the clone troopers who served under their command, Tapal died protecting his apprentice from their former comrades. Having lost most of his fellow Jedi to the purge, Kestis went into hiding on Bracca but was ultimately discovered five years later by an Imperial group of Jedi hunters. Forced to reveal his secret connection to the Force, Kestis would reconnect with his Jedi roots as he sought to finish his training. To that end, he found a new mentor in the former Jedi Knight Cere Junda, who was on a secret mission of her own—to rebuild the fallen Jedi Order.
