  Background​
  
  Born into poverty on Naboo and given to the Jedi Order at an early age, Gatz Derrevar has had a harrowing life. After a traumatic experience with a Jedi Shadow at the tender age of nine, Gatz absconded from the Order and returned to his family on Naboo. For the next eight years, he spent his life as an ordinary child/teenager, somehow always finding himself immersed in trouble—from egging houses, to tagging walls, to hotwiring speeders.
  
  On the cusp of adulthood, however, his mother was diagnosed with a progressive neurological disorder. After his father was murdered trying to provide for his sick wife and son, Gatz was forced to wear the mantle of the man of the house. He quickly discovered that smuggling spice was far more lucrative than hauling simple cargo, and that it could both put food on the table and pay for his mother's rapidly accruing medical debt.
  
  Gatz spent over half a decade submerged in the criminal underworld, caring only for his mother and himself. Eventually selfishness took root in him, and the only things he began to care about were credits and infamy. He might have been lost in greed forever, if not for a chance meeting with Valery Noble , the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order herself.
  
  Reminded that he could be so much more than a Hutt thug, Gatz was inspired by Valery's compassion, and set out to better himself. After a grueling number of months on his own, and much time spent with Valery, Gatz returned to the Jedi in order to finish the training he had once abandoned.
  
  Now, recently promoted, Gatz has dedicated his life to lending aid to those in need—not as a scoundrel, but as a Knight of the New Jedi Order

  Death of a Scoundrel
  ​

  A guilty conscience rules Gatz Derrevar. After six years of smuggling spice, the Will of the Force put Gatz in Valery Noble's path. After aiding the Sword during a harrowing mission to Erakhis, the faith and guidance she placed in him was enough to convince the former smuggler to give up his criminal ways. Driven by the guilt in knowing how many people he's hurt—directly or indirectly—during his tenure in Hutt Space, Gatz has dedicated himself to helping others in need, and few need as much help as the enslaved. Having smuggled spice for a particularly nasty slaver in the past by the name of Kragan Garr, Gatz has set out to destabilize his criminal empire as a form of penance.
  
  

  A Jedi Once More​

  After a harrowing number of months on his own, and having finally put an end to Kragan Garr's empire, Gatz found himself at a crossroads. Careful consideration, and a desire to continue doing good, has led Gatz Derrevar back into the fold of the Jedi Order. Now, a Padawan once more, Gatz is determined to continue his training with the New Jedi Order, so that he might one day call himself a Jedi Knight.
  
  

  Gatz Derrevar, Jedi Knight​

  At long last, Gatz has reclaimed his earliest dream. After training under some of the greatest Jedi the Order has ever produced, Gatz faced a harrowing trial during the Battle for Coruscant: facing the eldritch monster known as Adeline Noctua . Though his confrontation ended in a loss, the Jedi Council determined that he had earned the right to call himself a Jedi Knight. Now, after his Knighting Ceremony aboard the Prosperity, Gatz takes his first steps into a galaxy embroiled in war as: Gatz Derrevar, Jedi Knight.
