Notes:

This story mentions events from the Jedi Apprentice books. *But if you've not read them, never fear!* I'll tell you all you need to know. SPOILERS!!!!! start here: Before Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon took an Apprentice named Xanatos, a boy from a rich, powerful, political family who lived in Thani, the capital of the planet Telos. When Xanatos grew up, Qui-Gon thought he was ready to be made a Jedi Knight, but Yoda insisted on one last mission to Telos, which was embroiled in a civil war caused by Xanatos' father. On that mission, Xanatos turned to the Dark Side after Qui-Gon was forced to kill Xanatos' father. Xanatos fled, and continued to cause trouble, threatening Obi-Wan on a planet called Bandomeer before he was even Qui-Gon's Apprentice. He later committed suicide on Telos by jumping into a boiling black pool of acid to escape capture. There. I just saved you $40 in book purchases *g*
