Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook - The Dark Side
Affiliations: The Jensaarai
Nikkos Tyris was one of the few Anzati Jedi to ever join The Jedi Order. Exceptionally young for an Anzati, Nikkos was not a member of The Jedi Order when fellow Anzati Volfe Karkko fell to The Dark Side. While Nikkos served The Jedi Order ably in the years leading up to the Clone Wars, his frustration with the Council grew, as he was restricted from accessing Karkko's entire file. Nikkos nursed an overdeveloped sense of hero worship for Volfe Karkko, but when he found that Volfe had indeed fallen to The Dark Side, instead of rejecting him, he began seeking the cause of his fall.
A decade before the Clone Wars erupted, Nikkos was sent to Baltizaar with a Jedi strike force to eliminate the threat of The Bando Gora. All Jedi sent on the strike were believed killed. However, Nikkos and two others managed to survive. Nikkos did not return to The Jedi Order after escaping imprisonment by The Bando Gora. Instead, he traveled to Susevfi and opened his own secret academy where he trained a growing number of followers in what he considered the "True" way of The Force. When the Clone Wars broke out, Dooku was able to locate and sway Tyris to the Confederacy after promising access to one of Karkko's beloved Sith Holocrons. With the Holocron's assistance, Count Dooku was able to completely turn Master Tyris to The Dark Side. It was not long before Nikkos dragged two of his most advanced students with him into darkness.
Toward the end of the Clone Wars, before Tyris could infect his entire school with The Dark Side, a Jedi strike team managed to locate his academy on Susevfi. The Jedi were only three in number, and Nikkos went out to meet them in battle with his two most dark and trusted students. Nikkos squared off against Nejaa Halcyon and engaged him in Lightsaber combat. Nikkos won the fight decidedly, piercing Halcyon through the chest with his Lightsaber. However, Halcyon was shockingly able to absorb the energy in Nikkos' Lightsaber blade, giving him an energy boost which he directed back at Tyris in the form of a fatal crushing telekinetic attack that hurled Nikkos Tyris' body across the battlefield.
Nikkos' training facility collapsed, and only four of his students survived. The most senior student was a female who took the other three students into hiding, where they continued to hide from The Jedi and train. Eventually, the four students developed into The Jensaarai, a group of Force-users steeped in Sith tradition without having gone over to The Dark Side. Decades later, the group would largely be absorbed into Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4.
