Born into slavery on Tatooine, Ryan spent his childhood under the thumb of crime lords and pit masters. A spontaneous Force outburst during a brutal beating caught the attention of passing Jedi Knight Kael Dravik, who freed and brought him to the temple. Though he trained for years, Ryan never fully shed his past—or his attitude.He often lied, skipped meditations, and boasted about adventures he never had. Still, Kael believed in him. But when Kael left on a mission, Ryan went rogue—posing as a Jedi Master, chasing glory.His arrogance led him into the hands of a powerful figure named Xavier, who humiliated him and exposed the truth Ryan tried so hard to bury. Shamed and broken, Ryan returned to Tatooine… and surrendered himself to Jabba the Hutt.Whether out of punishment, fear, or deep-seated guilt, he became Jabba’s new pet—a chained reminder of what happens when pride leads a Jedi astray.
