| - Born in 70 BBY on Utapau, little is known about his early life before being brought to the jedi temple. He was instructed as a youngling under the tutelage of master Yoda, he excelled in his group, he was taken by Qui-Gon Jinn. his training was swift, he was taught about the living force and about to keep his mind on the matters at hand, not about things elsewhere. he was taken to many places but he spent many years in the desert of tatooine, where he learned Form IV the Ataru form, he soon mastered it spending many years learning, he also spent his time learning the languages of the galaxy in hope to be a diplomat as well as a jedi, he was also trained in the way of mind tricks, aiding him in getting out of trick situations later in life. By the time he was twenty, Qui-Gon thought him good enough to take the trials, it was decided that he should duel Mace Windu for his trial, but would be used real lightsabers not training ones. The duel was set in a larger duel hall seating the council and Qui-Gon, the duel was quick, Windu used his Vaapad style of fighting, something Skuldergury had never come across before, and it wasn't long before before he was in retreat, Windu's arm moving faster than Skuldergury or Qui-Gon's eye could see. Windu slowed and made a slice at Skuldergury's legs, but once he started to block he switched and aimed for his right arm but Skuldergury back flipped but to no avail. Searing pain leapt through his arm and his body, he fell to the floor writhing in pain. He gained control of his emotions and lay there fighting back the tears, "Done you in your test of skill, flesh also" the voice of Yoda was unmistakable, he heard people stand and leave but saw nothing, his eyes shut firmly, he felt an arm underneath his back, he was being lifted up and on to his feet, as he stood he looked down at what was left of his arm, only his shoulder and half his bicep were left. He was escorted by Qui-Gon to a medical room where a robot attached a robatic arm to his stump and made sure it worked. Skuldergury gloved his hand in leather, he flexed his arm and hand making sure it worked properly, he didnt need it failing on him in a duel. he entered the room inside stood Yoda, Tyvokka, Mace Windu and Qui-Gon. Skuldergury bowed as he entered, he was in presence of the some of the greatest Jedi the world would know. "Have a mission for you we have" said Yoda "dangerous it is, alone you will not go" " This is a dangerous mission Skuldergury, but Jinn will be with you, you must infiltrate a gang, they traffic people, drugs, illegal assassin droids, everything bad we think they are protected by the federation, but its nothing you two cant handle, kill anyone wearing the gang colours" "yes masters we will not fail, when do we leave?" "soon Skul, soon be patient" Hours passed before they were ready to leave, they travelled down to the bottom of coruscant, it was dark and dank, the worst of the worst lived in the rancid darkness they seemed to thrive on it.' Skul and Jinn agreed to use stealth, they would sneak in to the bar as patrons and try to get a meeting with a boss, it happened smoothly until they entered the bar, Skul soon angered a particularly nasty Aqualish who tried to kill Skul with his blaster, but he was to quick and ran him through with his saber. Even before the body had hit the floor, more blaster fire erupted from every corner of the room, Skul had no choice but to dive into the foot well of the table, he pulled out the concussion grenades he had and threw them towards the fire soon the blaster fire stopped and Skul leapt from the foot well, his dark blue saber flashing in the fog, soon the fog cleared, only one person remained standing, Jinn was no where to be seen, even with the help of force sense. he searched the building finding no-one left for the jedi temple. He reported to the council that they had been dispatched. He left the council chamber in search of Jinn. Many hours had passed and still no sign of him he retired to his room in the temple, on his bed he found a note saying for you test of spirit u must spend a two full days on Byss. Skul left that night. His Inexpugnable-Class Tactical Command Ship scaring off any attackers and making the lightspeed jump quick. he soon arrived at Byss. He landed in a small valley that seemed out of the way, he activated the stealth field anyway. He started looking around for a place to spend the night. As he walked around he felt an indescribable presence, something he felt briefly on tatooine, but this time it was stronger, much stronger, it surrounded him, embraced him. His mind couldn't concentrate his mind filling with images of power and wealth,death and destruction, he tried to shake it from his mind but it lingered. He carried on looking and soon found a small hut, the allure of the Dark Side getting stronger and stronger. He knew he should try and fight but it was no use. He pushed the door open and walked into the room he saber held in front of him. He felt something behind him but he reacted to slow and felt something hit the back of his head and he hit the floor. He awoke tied to a chair unable to move, his hands tied together behind his bad and his legs to the chair legs, he slowly opened his eyes, the room dark, his eyes quickly adjusted. He reached out with the force but found himself unable. He looked down in search of his saber but it was gone, this was foolish thought Skul they know this planet had a strong Dark Side taint. "looking for this, came a voice from somewhere, he tried to turn his head but every time he did pain shot through his body. his saber was thrown into his view, onto the floor "Not that it would do you much good against a sith knight. You will become like me or die." Pain racked Skul's body, he writhed and shook the rope cutting into his legs and hands. He soon passed out from the pain.
