Zekk
Zekk is many things: an orphan, a street kid, a former Dark Jedi, former bounty Hunter, and a Jedi Knight. Although he always had self esteem issues, never thinking her could be good enough for his high status friends - JAINA AND JACEN SOLO - the young man has been able to achieve more than he could ever imagine. While his youthful recklessness matured into a careful wariness and his humor to a quiet seriousness, Zekk kept his sense of hope. He might be a LONER and a SCOUNDREL, but Zekk remains a faithful friend and JEDI to the end. He was born on the planet Ennth, which would experience tidal and seismic disasters every eight years due to its extremely close proximity to its moon. During one such cycle, at age nine, Zekk was orphaned (real parents unknown) and left to fend for himself. He escaped off planet on a supply ship, and hopped from ship to ship until finally stowing away on the LIGHTNING ROD, the freighter ship owned by PECKHUM. Peckhum unofficially adopted by the boy and the subterranean levels of Coruscant became his new home. When Zekk was around the age of eleven, he befriended the most unlikely of people: Chief of State Leia Organa Solo's nine year old twins, Jaina and Jacen. Although the circumstances of their meeting are unknown, they quickly became the best of friends, especially Jaina and Zekk. When Zekk was round the age of 17, the Second Imperium founded a SHADOW ACADEMY, where Brakiss trained Force strong youths to become Dark Jedi. Zekk was recruited and agreed, wanting to be able to prove himself to the galaxy. He quickly became Brakiss's favorite pupil and DARKEST KNIGHT. He led the Shadow Academy on a raid of Kashyyyk to obtain ship parts, and then against the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. There, he faced off with Jaina in a lightsaber duel, trying to prevent the wounded Jedi from entering the temple, which was set to below. She refused to kill her best friend despite his attempts to kill her, and brought him back to the light side. Zekk's refusal to let anyone into the temple saved many more lives. Despite Jaina's (and everyone else's) persistence that he should stay at the academy and train to be a Jedi, Zekk couldn't stay on Yavin 4 any longer than necessary, and left. He decided to go into the BOUNTY HUNTER profession, figuring his skills would be able to bring him good bounties. Eventually, they defeated the Diversity Alliance and destroyed the Emperor's Plague. Finally, Zekk felt ready to begin training as a Jedi. So, Zekk joined the Jedi Academy and became one of the New Republic's guardians.. Zekk also joined in the fight against the Yuuzhan Vong, although he specifically wasn't heard from again until Anakin's strike team MISSION TO MYRKR. Sadly, he lost many friends during this fight, and became estranged from Jaina in subsequent events, unable to deal with his friend falling to the dark side of the Force. During the final parts of the battle with the Vong, Zekk was bonded to a seed-partner and provided a SEKOTAN STARSHIP. Aside from being one of the few Jedi to survive the conflict, little else is known on Zekk's current activity in the GFFA.
