Trec Thul was born on the planet Dorin, about a year before the Clone Wars ended. He was identified by a Jedi Knight and taken in for training, both the master and apprentice survivng Order 66. At about the time of the Battle of Yavin, both master and apprentice were discovered by stormtroopers. During this time, Trec Thul had grown to be a master of Form V: Shien / Djem So, as well as a practicioner of Jar'Kai. While his master was gunned down, Trec managed to flee and go into hiding, to better hone his skills. He decided it would be best to return to his homeworld, and took on the identity as a Baran Do sage, secretly continuing to study the ways of the Force on his own.
