Biography
- "I am not afraid!" - "Oh you will be, you will be..."

Early years
Driss Caladan was born in Titan City, now called Tython City, Corellia. Heir of the Caladan family, he is of pure Tythonian blood.

Trained as a hunter with his Wookie counterpart Boontha, Driss was initiated to the techniques of swordplay and the Teräs Käsi art. Although highly talented, Driss was often found to be "hot-headed" by his guildmates. His overconfidence led him to boast, embark on perilous hunts and put himself in situations above any measure of control.

In 1 ABY, while hunting enraged rancors in the southeast of planet Dathomir, Driss encountered a group of fearsome and hostile Nightsisters. Overly sure of himself and unaware of the Nightsisters' Force wielding abilities, Driss engaged the group which swiftly disabled his speederbike and lacerated him with their powerful energy lances.

Left for dead, Driss thought his time had finally come. He was however reinvigorated by the apparition of an old hermit, who led him into the nearby mists surrounding the village of Aurilia.

Path to the Empire
A member of the Rebel Alliance, Driss Caladan struggles to restore the Republic.

He joined the Alliance back when he was still a hunter. While exploring the mountain range north of Kor Vella (Coronet), Driss discovered an abandoned military infrastructure, used as a secret base of operations by the Rebel high command since the Battle of Yavin.

He was recruited by officers of the Alliance and rapidly rose within their ranks. His duties with the Rebel Alliance led him to Lok, Yavin 4 and Dathomir, where he met Mon Mothma, Leia Organa, smuggler Han Solo or young pilot Luke Skywalker.



Path to the Dark Side
Sheltered by the Aurilians, Driss was treated and received the teachings of the Force, the first being control of his emotions.

A talented swordsman, he was soon sent by the Aurilians to fight Sith cultists, Darkside adepts from planet Korriban dispatched to follow-up on the Jedi Purge undertaken by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader 20 years earlier. Unwilling to commit his past mistakes, Driss engaged the cultists with self-control, allowing himself to overcome his terror and eventually his opponents.

Travelling back to Tython City, Driss had no idea that the rumor of his deeds on Dathomir had been widely spread among the Sith. On the central square of Tython City, he was confronted by the Dark Jedi Mellichae. Controlling his emotions and defeating the Dark Jedi was Driss' first trial. His victory led him to the rank of Jedi Padawan

Driss then visited planet Yavin 4 in search for an old Jedi Holocron referred to by the Aurilians. Although he did not find it, his exploration eventually led him to a Geonosian Biological Lab used to perform genetic experiences on the local wildlife. There, Driss encountered an off-world Acklay, a mutant arachnid creature bred by the Geonosian. He defeated the creature after an exhausting fight. This experience, and the training that ensued, led him the the rank of Jedi Knight.

Reunited with his old companion Boontha in search for the origins of his kind, Driss Caladan then explored the deep reaches and mysteries of the Rryatt Trail and the Myyydril Caverns on planet Kashyyyk. This is where he finally completed the long journey to Mastery of the Jedi arts.

He became, along with Jedi Masters Boontha, Darbie Lighstrider and Ebany Phoenix, a Defender of Ashla.

In time, Driss Caladan took on several Jedi Padawans, of which the young Samski Death. He also became guildleader of the Exiles of Tython, still known as Lost Titans at the time.
