| - Jerik Blackthorne was one of two sons to Cadden Blackthorne and Renalla Starrider. He and Guan were birthed from cloning cylinders, just like their half-brothers Caius and Xanic. Like their half-brothers, they themselves were not clones of either Cadden or Renalla. Rather, they were test-tube birthed. Their aging was, as a result, accelerated until puberty, after which the process stabilized to normal levels. The reasons for this were unknown, and perhaps deliberate.

| - Jerik Blackthorne was one of two sons to Cadden Blackthorne and Renalla Starrider. He and Guan were birthed from cloning cylinders, just like their half-brothers Caius and Xanic. Like their half-brothers, they themselves were not clones of either Cadden or Renalla. Rather, they were test-tube birthed. Their aging was, as a result, accelerated until puberty, after which the process stabilized to normal levels. The reasons for this were unknown, and perhaps deliberate. Physically more powerful than his brother, Jerik was not as clear-minded as Guan. Yet he was still concise and adept at making tactical decisions, often leading to victory. Inheriting his father's genes as a warrior, Jerik seldom spoke, and when he did it is when he was spoken to or if he had something important to say. He saw his lightsaber as a tool, used to enhance his combat prowess, rather than as a weapon he should rely on. Jerik practiced relentlessly in melee combat technique, focusing on his lightsaber, and held a high chance of besting others in his class in a duel. His abilities to use the Force were more of enhancements for his other physical abilities, and as such he would not typically use it as his weapon, but as a way to get things done. This made Jerik a deadly lightsaber duelist, and a good ally to have on one's side. Alongside his brother, Jerik had a busy life since he left Ronu III. Since the day they were brought to their father, they had gone through a lot and he learned much from his experiences. However, those days ended when Cadden departed from the two to Mandalore, and Jerik joined the Jedi Order's cause. He and his brother were stationed on Taylon, in the City of the Jedi, during the Cylon Imperium's attack on the world and a near-successful Xen'Chi assault not too long after. Jerik reformed the Guardians of Life with his brother after the Xen'Chi attack on the world, but his arrogance got the better of him and, unlike Guan, he left for Onderon shortly after Sivter attacked the planet's Jedi Temple. This triggered Jerik's decision to begin a quest to hunt down and destroy the dark side wherever it resided. However, in time, Jerik's pride and ambition betrayed him and, while on Ronu II, Jerik accepted the dark side of the Force and became known as Darth Odium. He studied under the ghost of the Sith Lord Darth Nefarious and over time became qualified through his sheer determination to hold the rank of Sith Master. Odium fought and defeated Roth Sorabac in combat, and named him his first apprentice. Darth Odium continued to grow his organization by capturing nearby systems and expanding in his power. He came under possession of a holocron created by Exar Kun, and from that he was able to create an amulet from a Force crystal to which he betrayed his master and enslaved his spirit within. From that point, Odium proactively took up arms in a new Jedi Purge, alongside the Sith Brotherhood and Shadow of the Sith.
