Efnir Kis

History
Efnir Kis is an 18-year-old Iktotchi padawan, born on Iktotch, moon of Iktotchon in the Expanse region. As with all Iktotchi, he was born with force sensitivity and precognitive abilities. However, in his early teen years these powers progressed, and he showed aptitude with telekinesis and finding lost objects. These youth who develop force strength and potential beyond the typical Iktotchi are then selected to travel to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, as had been done since the Iktotchi people were discovered by the Republic long ago. And so Efnir found himself on a new planet full of strange peoples, but ready and eager to begin his studies in the ways of the Force.

To aid in his training he was paired with Jedi Master Saesee Tiin, also Iktotchi. While Efnir would accompany Master Tiin on some low-risk missions, with the ramping up of the Clone War, Master Tiin would be increasingly in combat situations and so Efnir mainly could be found at the temple, wandering the halls, the current week's object of study levitating behind or being hidden by his friends to track down and hone his abilities. Master Tiin did once say that the Niman style of lightsaber combat may complement Efnir's abilities and temperament well, providing a well-rounded style, useful in most situations.

Due to many people's unease around Iktotchi, and sometimes outright discrimination such as being barred from casinos, Efnir rarely would be outside of the temple if not on a mission so has had little exposure to broader Coruscant. Initially Efnir comes across as quiet and thoughtful, possibly aloof or distant but those who have spent time with him find him to be loyal and friendly enough.

During the Clone Wars, many Iktotchi could sense a coming doom. Many tried to warn leaders or others in power, even at the Jedi Temple, though such a vague warning was difficult to act on. Efnir too had these ill portents but could do nothing but muse on them with his master when present, or sometimes with his friends when not. After a time, it was pushed to the side in order to proceed with normal life but always was an unpleasant sensation in the back of his mind. One night Master Tiin accompanied Masters Windu, Fisto, and Kolar to discuss some urgent business with Chancellor Palpatine. Efnir felt the disturbance in the Force at the death of his master, awakening him in the night, immediately knowing that this marked the beginning of the darkness he had been feeling all this time, and it was going to descend here at any moment. There would not be time to mobilize the temple, but his friends would be sleeping near. Perhaps they could be roused and convinced to flee this danger...
