Teras Olin was a Jedi Grand Master and a key figure in the history of the Galactic Alliance. Born in 175 ABY, the son of wanted smugglers, as well as the descendant of Jedi Knight Ferus Olin, he grew up on Rodia for seven years with a street gang before he was discovered and joined the Jedi Order where he met fellow Force sensitive Anij Lothil, whom he would fall in love with as a teen. He received Jedi training from masters Skywaker and Tyar Istamar. His travels led to him meeting the smuggler and future Senator Coren Savo, from whom he eventually acquired the Aether Sparrow. In 197 ABY, Teras single-handedly killed the Dark Jedi Master Pandoris on the planet Nelvaan and was made a Jedi Knight. He later met Artim X'tain, who would become his apprentice two years later.
