Introduction

For over three centuries his family served the Republic. Countless senators have used his surname. For centuries his family has sacrificed itself for the welfare of the state and the society. He has served well and loyally, and for that reason the citizens of his city are loyal to his cause. Since the beginning of the Empire, his family has tried to stop its evil behaviour and to make the Emperor spread welfare among his people. Even now, he is not willing to turn against the Galactic government that his family helped to establish so many years ago.

But he has no alternative. The Empire has turned into a tyranny. His native planet is occupied by stormtroopers. If this civilization is to be saved, he has to act now. His family will provide leadership to the Rebellion, as it was given to the Republic before. He wishes to see the old days back and fights for it.

"Ok, here's the plan."

~ Tsotha-Lanti at any briefing he has lead.

Background and objectives

Childhood

Tsotha-Lanti Agak was born in Keren, Naboo, 35 years before the battle of Yavin. Since he was a boy, he proved to be unnaturally skilled, being able to see events before they happened and respond to them in kind. That raised the attention of his father, a well known chemist with a past on the academic world of Mrlsst, who discovered his Force potential through a blood screening on his own, and it was he who contacted a good friend of him in the Jedi Order, the Jedi Knight Kelm Diboo, natural from Naboo as well, with hopes that his son would find greatness serving the Republic. He ran the tests again and found a high concentration of midi-clorians in Tsotha's blood (Tsotha's reflexes were actually the product of Force-intuition), so he asked Tomoe-Lanti to let him take his son to Coruscant.

Becoming a padawan

Fighting in the Clone Wars

Tsotha was accepted as Diboo's padawan and his training began. For ten years he proved to be a very good apprentice and closely followed Diboo's teachings. Among other abilities, he learnt how to craft and use a lightsabre, both with one hand and two hands, and many of the Force powers his master was able to control, mainly mind control and healing.

Jedi Knight Kelm Diboo became a member of the Circle of Jedi Healers after successfully training his first padawan and becoming a master. Master Diboo had trained two padawans before Tsotha. One of them became a Jedi Healer, as his master, the other a Jedi Consular, as his master as well. Tsotha, given his aptitudes and his attitude, followed his master and specialised in the ability to use the force to heal. Next to his master, he visited and received training at many places across the galaxy, including the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the ruins of the Jedi temple on Dantooine, and many more. Master Diboo taught all his padawans the Form I (Shii-Cho) lightsabre combat form at the beginning, just like any other master to his or her padawan. Later, when the padawan had reached a certain age, Form III (Soresu) or Form IV (Ataru).

At the age of eleven, the war between the Old Republic and the Separatists of the Trade Federation (formerly known as the Clone Wars) started and for three years he followed his master across the galaxy duty after duty. During these three years, due to the needs of the war, the Jedi Council sent Master Diboo to many missions, both diplomatic and to support troops and Jedi Sentinels. Those were very good opportunities for his padawan to learn and practise, and made Tsotha grow up faster, turning him into a formidable Jedi by the age of fifteen. He also spent many days at the medical facilities of the Jedi temple on Coruscant (usually when his master could not take him to some mission) and that was an excellent test ground for his healing powers as well.

Luckily, when Order 66 was executed, they were both travelling alone in hyperspace in their Jedi starfighters and, by the time they left hyperspace, Master Yoda and Master Kenobi had already been able to change the signal sent by the emergency beacon contained within the Jedi Temple, so they escaped from the trap and Diboo decided that he and his padawan would go into exile to the planet Myrkr. Diboo had been there a few weeks before and, given what he found out about the Ysalamiri, he thought it would be a very appropriate hideout to cover his presence.

The fall

Tsotha-Lanti, after the death of his master, about to leave Myrkr

Kelm Diboo and Tsotha-Lanti stayed hidden on that planet for one more year, until Tsotha was sixteen. They lived in a cave inside a mountain and fed themselves by hunting animals and harvesting plants and herbs. Diboo accelerated Tsotha's apprenticeship and taught all he could to his padawan, pushing him very much, as he knew for certain that they would not be able to remain hidden forever.

During this period of time, Diboo's lessons focused on improving Tsotha's ability to use mind control and healing powers, and also on improving his skills with the lightsabre. Given the circumstances, Diboo's plan was to teach Tsotha a complete set of defensive and protective abilities that could grant his survival. Regarding lightsabre combat, his master taught every stance that focused, completely or partially, in defence. So, Tsotha almost mastered the Way of the Mynock (Soresu) and the Shien variation of Form V, the Way of the Krayt Dragon. In order to provide him with some offensive capabilities, his master taught him the Djem So variation of Form V too, the Perseverance Form. He proved to be good at that form, but excellent at the defensive stances. Tsotha knows the Determination Form (Shii-Cho) as well, since it was the first form that his master taught him and the only one that he practised for years.

"I will teach you a unique lightsabre style marked by minimal movements, and sudden bursts of aggression."

~ Kelm Diboo to Tsotha-Lanti when he was ready to learn Soresu.

Regarding mind control, he mastered cloaking and concealing skills, as his master thought they would definitely be very useful given the situation. Finally, Master Diboo taught Tsotha the path to immortality through the secret of the Ancient Order of the Whills, as he was aware that Tsotha would need more training and certain abilities could only be obtained from the dead masters.

One night, Diboo forsaw his end while sleeping and, very early in the morning, he rushed his padawan to travel by foot to the closest city by inventing a foolish reason to do with a medicine. He cleaned up any track of Tsotha in the cave and awaited for his destiny, which he met in the hands of two dark Force wielders under command of Lord Darth Vader. Tsotha felt the situation and rushed back to the cave, using the Force to run as quickly as possible, but when he arrived his master was already dead, as well as one of the agents of Vader. Tsotha fought the other dark sider, and defeated him.

After the battle, a pause came. Tsotha realised what his master had done for him, and felt sad and lonely, more than ever. He cried over his master's robes (all what was left from him). Scared by the prosecution the Jedi were suffering, having an unfinished training, and holding no hope of finding any other living Jedi, he succumbed to his fears and decided to go back home, to his parents. He picked up the belongings left by his master, the two lightsabres of the dark side wielders (one double-blade, the other single-blade) and a Sith medallion he found on one of them, and travelled on regular transports from planet to planet, dressed in normal clothing and pretending to be a normal human being. Diboo never told Tsotha his training was almost complete and, if things had been different, he would have soon applied for the Knight trials at the Jedi Council. Unfortunately, Tsotha always had the impression that he was not ready yet and left the place with that feeling. Diboo, knowing this, decided not to commune with Tsotha, and left him alone for now, expecting that, in time, he would finish his training alone.

Burying the past

Deputy mayor of Keren

Back on Naboo, his family was very happy to see him again, as they thought that would never ever happen. They took him once again and protected him. After some weeks of meditation and after discussing it with his parents, he thought it would be best to forget about his Jedi skills and act as a normal person, awaiting for things to happen and for him to decide which path would be best for him to take. It was not an easy decision, as Tsotha-Lanti was a firm believer of the Jedi code and an active member, next to his master, of the Jedi Order. So he decided to hide his powers and followed his father's advice to concentrate on something different: he studied chemistry at the University of Keren, were he achieved a Bachelor's degree, but turned to Political Science, where he proved to be his father's son by showing a very good performance in diplomacy. After that, he went for Masters of Business Administration. Since the day he buried his padawan robes, his master's robes and both lightsabres beneath a force shrine on Dantooine, the only force power he used was concealment, so that no other force user could ever sense his presence, meditation and Force Sense, so he could be aware of what was happening around him beyond what his normal senses could perceive. And time proved that he did very well.

After his studies, he stood as deputy mayor of Keren for two years. During that period he met Ceearem thanks to his mother, Gitara. Ceearem was a well known merchant and politician in Naboo that had been doing business with Gitara's company, the Agak Space Research and Mining Corporation, for some time.

After that period he became his father's assistant in the Galactic Senate until Emperor Palpatine dissolved it. He thought it was the best way to do something against the new Empire. There he met a lot of people and made friends and enemies, and he also met his girlfriend, Céline Cessé. Tsotha was sympathetic to the recently created [h[tp://www.starwars.com/databank/organization/rebelalliance/ Rebel Alliance], as his father was, and it turned out that Céline was a former member of it. A few days after the Senate was dissolved, she was discovered and had to escape. Tsotha knew he would be accused of helping the rebels, so he escaped to [ht[p://www.starwars.com/databank/location/dantooine/ Dantooine]. His father came back to Naboo.

Once he proved his value as administrator, he was requested to take that position, which he held for some months. During that time he retook his Jedi training alone and, when he had the opportunity, when he was sure that he was hidden and no one was aware of his presence, he kept practicing all techniques his master had taught him. Dantooine was a planet where the Force was strong, and that induced him back to the path of the Force that he had almost abandoned years ago. Nevertheless, he continued to act just like a normal person. One day he met King Makavelee a'Jamais of the [ht[p://www.honourforever.com/ Kingdom of Honour] and some time later he became a member of his personal guard and left the miners colony. There he learnt to fight using rifles, carbines, pistols and melee weapons, and proved to be a very much valuable squad leader, becoming Captain of the honour guard after a year. King Makavelee recognised his skills in diplomacy and he was given the title of Guard to the Throne quite soon, and later a counselor of the Throne. He now holds the title of Royal Correspondant of the Kingdom of Honour and leads the Honour Intelligence Agency.

He accepted and, after his training was complete, he was assigned the duty to set up a small, secret commando unit that would conduct high-risk, small scale strikes on Imperial Forces. This special operations unit would only receive orders from Col. Cessé, and it would only be known by [w.starwars.com/databank/character/bailorgana/ Senator Bail Organa, Col. Cessé and her assistant, Captain Nonnah. Tsotha was given the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. The commando unit was trained for several months before it began to operate.

To keep

e secrecy of this commando unit to the maximum, the death of their members was feigned by leaking to the Empire information about rebel officers being transported. That transport was only driven by droids when it was attacked and destroyed. Once they where declared killed in action, the strike team was assigned some duties, from which stands out the assassination of the imperial colonel Kendal Veers, [.starwars.com/databank/character/generalmaximilianveers/ Maximilian Veers's brother. Its last mission was to watch over the Imperial Prison in Dathomir. While waiting for further instructions, contact with Col. Cessé was lost and its base camp was assaulted by stormtroopers. The commando unit had to retreat and three of its members where killed.

Lanti did not follow the established protocol for the given situation but sent their team back to a safe location, which only he was aware of. After some investigations, he found out that Col. Cessé had been betrayed by Cap. Nonnah and released to the Imperials. They probably tortured her to find the location of the team. Noone knows how much information they managed to extract from her. Cessé's status was set to missing in action.

Perhaps if

had used his intuition and the force he would have been aware of the trap that had been set, but he did not and found himself in front of a court martial, accused of sedition, murder and treason. He was not able to gather enough evidences to prove Noona's fault, but helped by Captain Val-tane Ricaud and the [ggerwolf.org/ Daggerwolves Special Forces Company, he survived the trial, with only a demotion to the rank of corporal. He kept on trying to find Cessé, but with no luck. Noona's job had been very precise and he even begun to think he was a dark force user hidden under the rank of Captain. So, some time later he decided to leave the Alliance and came back to the Kingdom of Honour, where he holds nowadays the title of Guard to the Throne. He also runs the Honour Intelligence Agency, which he uses to attempt to track Cessé's situation, still holding up hope to find her some day.

===The return

[[Image:Tsoth

thumbnail|right|Tsotha-Lanti wielding his master's lightsabreTsotha had sp]]t the next year and a half at the new capital city of the Kingdom of Honour, on Lok. He had already accepted Céline Cessé was dead, and stopped searching for her. For several weeks he had been feeling uneasy, expecting something to happen, but he could not tell what. One night, while patrolling the desert plains of Lok around the city limits, he heard a very familiar voice that called him. He followed the call and the voice led him to a small, abandoned military post where his old master Kelm Diboo communed with him, appearing as a ghost. After the initial shock, Tsotha explained him what he had been doing for the last 20 years, including the decission to abandon the path of the Force and go back home. In exchange, Master Diboo explained the reason why he sent Tsotha out of the hideout the day the two dark siders killed him and the reason why he never let Tsotha attempt the Knight trials (basically due to the circumnstances and because of Tsotha's lack of maturity).

They chatted fo

some more time about the past and then the conversation turned to the present and the future. Diboo told him about the Jedi that were killed the day Order 66 was executed and also about the survivors that had been hunted down since then by Imperial inquisitors, bounty hunters and Sith Lords. Then he told Tsotha that the time to take the path of the Force again had arrived, and that he was now ready to become a Jedi Knight thanks to his experience in the last 20 years: it was not that he was not skilled enough, it was that he was too young. He told him many Jedi had been murdered for years, but also that several of them were still alive. Some had left the path of the Force too, some had just been hiding in remote locations without using the Force at all. Finally, Diboo told him that many Force sensitives had been born and grown during that period of time, and that it was Tsotha's mission to find them and try to train them. Tsotha was happy to hear that and believed in his master, feeling encouraged to fight for the return of the Jedi Order and the balance to the Force.

Diboo told Tsot

he would find a padawan, and that it would be a she. He said she would be cold and calm, and that she had to be judged for her present and future, and not her past. How he found her padawan and what they became is another story, told at [[The story of Tsha and Araiya.

Tsotha had kept his master's lightsabre for almost 20 years, next to his other belongings, hidden in the ruins of the Jedi temple on Dantooine, and there he went with Araiya, several weeks later, to retrieve it. He's been using it since then, and gave away his padawan lightsabre to Araiya (it was destroyed by [[Actari Martica][[.

As a Jedi

===tha-Lanti re

esents the classic Jedi Consular profile but, next to diplomacy, his main field of specialization is healing. There aren't many differences among Tsotha, his master Kelm Diboo and his master's master, Aeryn Merrick. But Tsotha makes a strange and specific version of it given the amount of years he has spent using classic ways of diplomacy and fighting techniques.

Tsotha excels a

Mind Control, including concealment, telepathy, whisper, affect mind and cloaking, among others. His family has a deep knowledge of diplomacy that has been passed on from fathers to sons and he has the sum of that knowledge plus all what was taught to him at the Jedi Order.

He is very prof

ient at the art of healing using the Force, although he still has much to learn to reach the level of a master Jedi Healer. Unfortunately, he does not have any source of knowledge at present time and must investigate for himself. Being this science a very deep one, he does not even know how far from a possible end he is.

Tsotha is an ad

t in many of the most common techniques of control and use of the Force taught in the old Jedi Order, such us meditation, sense, precognition, jump, telekinesis, push and pull, burst of speed, empathy and pain control, among others.

===Lightsabre c

==

Tsotha-Lanti is

ot a soldier, and he does not like fighting. He will attempt to avoid combat situations and will respect life as much as possible, unless facing a Sith (by the old code, he will attempt to put an end to him at all costs).

He received spe

fic training on lightsabre combat forms from his master, but it focused mainly on defensive techniques. Therefore he almost mastered Soresu, his preferred combat style from a distance, he has advanced knowledge of Shii-Cho and he is an adept in Form V. If we could look only at the defensive techniques of forms III and V, we would see a level of knowledge close to a master, but as a whole he is just a very skilled adept.

He will usually

ace combat in one of these two ways: first, if he feels he will be outnumbered or he has any other reason not to extend combat, he will try to end the combat quickly, hitting and running; second, if he is forced to face his foe to death, he will try to make the combat last for as long as possible, making use of his great capacity to keep concentration, and will adopt a defensive stance, keep it all the time and await for his enemy to make a mistake and take that opportunity to strike back.

Tsotha does usu

ly combine his skills in lightsabre combat with Force waves, object and sabre throws, small sparks and he continuously attempts to use his mind control abilities to mislead his enemy.

==Personality t

s

Intelligent, se

-confident and energetic. As a diplomat, he is more interested in making things happen than in how they happen. As a Jedi, he is a firm believer of the Jedi code. Sometimes, people are impressed because of his surname, and he is proud of it; although he does not consider himself better than others. Great men and women come from all social classes and can contribute to the Rebel Alliance.

He is patient,

d he attempts not to rush things ever. But if forced, he reacts like a leader, taking quick decissions and being firm about them. He will show loyalty to those that show lotalty to him, and will always try to be the example to follow in everything he says or does. He thinks that words are good, but facts are better.

Something that

ople will notice soon as opposed to the classic Jedi traits is that he often makes jokes and kids and laughs about things whenever it is possible. It is in his warm nature and he thinks it helps with life in general. He will also make use of sarcasm quite often.
