Reath Silas

Reath Silas was a human male Jedi Knight who lived during the High Republic Era. The apprentice of Jedi High Council member Jora Malli, most of his apprenticeship had been spent on Coruscant or in high-level diplomatic meetings, before Malli was appointed the commander of the Jedi quarter aboard the new space station Starlight Beacon. Silas was subsequently assigned to the station with his master, a move that did not please him since he preferred spending his time in the Jedi Archives instead of partaking in adventures away from Coruscant. Nonetheless, he was sent out to the galactic frontier along with Jedi Masters Cohmac Vitus and Orla Jareni and Jedi Knight Dez Rydan. The starship they were traveling on, the Byne Guild transport Vessel, was knocked out of hyperspace as part of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, and he and his fellow travelers were stranded at an Amaxine space station.

Though the discoveries and adventures on this station accidentally released the long-dormant threat of the Drengir into the wider galaxy, Reath Silas and his new master, Cohmac Vitus, would go and fight this threat alongside those Jedi stationed at Starlight Beacon. He would participate in the Assault on Mulita and the capture of the Great Progenitor, and later be pulled into a mission that saw the destruction of a possibly devastating Nihil weapon, the Gravity's Heart. One of his most significant moments came when he and his master, alongside Padawan Ram Jomaram, Master Kantam Sy, Zeen Mrala and locals to Corellia, worked to thwart a possibly devastating follow-up attack by the Nihil as the Nihil's sabotage of Starlight Beacon was ongoing. Master Yoda returned after a period of absence to reinforce this effort, and at the end of the battle, Silas was knighted by his second master, Kantam Sy, and the Jedi Grand Master. This positive moment became bitter, as Cohmac Vitus abruptly quit the Jedi Order and fled into the evening darkness.

In the following years Silas would investigate heavily into the Nameless and the Blight, connecting the two and discovering the ancient Tolemite civilization through it. Through his investigation into the Tolemite, he would also discover the Nameless Control Rods and unearth the Rod of Ages.
