Born on New Alderaan as the Great Darkness came to an end, Gann Desyk led a simple, happy childhood even as the galaxy fell into chaos. He grew up wealthy, sent to private schools where he excelled and wanting for nothing. It was only when he became a young man, attending a university on Centares to study history, that his latent Force-sensitivity was discovered. Though he was quite old to begin training, the Order of the Silver Jedi accepted him to their academy on Voss. He was eager to become a Jedi.
In the years that followed, Gann excelled in his initial training. He became a padawan of Jedi Master Kokkim, one of the more outwardly militant members of the Order. Master Kokkim's teachings led him to believe in a version of the Jedi Code centered on the idea of active resistance to the rise of the Dark Side; the kind of Jedi he wanted to become was not just protector but active liberator, working in the shadows if needed to dismantle oppression across the galaxy. To him, injustice anywhere was a threat to justice everywhere.
When the Order relocated to Kashyyk, falling back from the Sith onslaught, Gann joined his teacher in staying behind to fight. He became a member of the League of Voss, resisting the Empire with hit and run tactics, trying to support local planetary governments in standing up to oppression. But Gann soon found himself disturbed by the League's tactics, throwing everything they could at the Sith without any heed for their own lives - or for civilian casualties. In the end, all of it came to nothing as the League was hunted to extinction.
Adrift after the fall of Voss and the death of Master Kokkim at the hands of the Emperor himself, Gann found himself washed on a tide of refugees into the Centrality. Caught in the last strip of neutral territory between the Sith and the genocidal Bryn'adul, he held to the lessons and principles he had learned on Voss: resist, and be a light in the darkness. He fought to defeat the criminals preying on those forced out of their homes, and to hold back the twin powers greedily devouring the galactic southeast for as long as he could.

Tall and wiry, Gann has a strength and grace of movement that marks him as an experienced warrior. He does his best to keep a low profile, however, dressing in neutral tones.
He keeps his beard neatly trimmed along his jaw, and his hair short and swept back, so that nothing obstructs his vision or becomes an easy target for an opponent to grab. His dark eyes are calm and reflective, but highly observant.
When Gann speaks, he is good at commanding attention, whether to soothe, command, or inspire. However, he is equally skilled at blending in and moving stealthily. In both areas he is aided by the Force, either enhancing or muting his presence.
