Equipment:
- Lightsaber: Archenon's lightsaber is of a simple design, with specialized handgrips for stronger chops and slashes. The blade, blue, is a symbol of his status as a Guardian.

History: Archenon was born on Mandalore, to loving and caring parents. His father was the son of a clone, and so he bore a resemblance to the homage of Jango Fett, and his mother was the descendant of a Jedi Knight, the daughter of an exile from Order 66. Her mother, fleeing her clone detachment, made her way to Mandalore, where she made a living as a farmer. She was married to a Mandalorian warrior and gave birth to Archenon's mother. His grandmother trained his mother in the ways of the Force and the light side, and she took it to heart. Their family's farm was relatively wealthy, and they were able to afford a starship, which's maiden voyage was to the crystal caverns on Dantooine. His mother constructed her lightsaber, but kept her Jedi origins a secret, waiting for a cause worthy of her services, and led a normal life, until she met Archenon's father. The man was the son of a clone deserter, much of an outcast like his mother, and the two were wed within 6 months of their meeting. Archenon was born a year later, his sister when he was 3, and his youngest brother when he was 7.

Archenon's mother, along with his father, taught him and their other children of the ways of the warrior, but Archenon was the only Force sensitive of the 3, which was a surprise to all. The incarnation of only a single Jedi mother was not nessecarily expected to be sensitive but his mother was delighted to teach him the ways of the Force, and Archenon harnessed his own variety of being a Mando'ade Jedi Knight. He made a similar voyage with his mother to create his lightsaber, but did not wear it until he crafted his own beskar armor, which made his lightsaber appear as a trophy.

Archenon's father eventually was made aware of the Rebel Alliance. His father, being the descendant of a clone, hated the Empire and all within it. The Alliance seemed a natural way for him, a skilled and trained warrior, to harness his abilties for a strong cause and rid the world of the Imperial infestation. Archenon was 16 at the time, but a fully trained Jedi, and his mother also had considerable powers. With a joint decision between the parents the whole family totally involved itself in the Alliance. Archenon and his mother contributed their Jedi training, proving powerful tools in a conflict and skilled negotiators, and his father as a trained foot soldiers, who was quickly commissioned as an on the field officer. The family moved from place to place, raising their two younger children in a flurry of conflict and struggle.

The Whest's served with the Alliance for years. Their daughter, Mereel, eventually became a talented fighter pilot and their youngest son became involved with the Marines. Archenon's skills had honed over the years, and he became on par almost with his mother's abilities. Their contributions to the Alliance was recognized on many occasions with awards and badges. As a Jedi and a soldier he rose through the ranks with his combat skills and natural leadership charisma, and when The Wheel fleet was introduced to combine the Jedi into one fighting force the two Whest Jedi were excited to associate with them and join brothers and sisters in the Force. Archenon, now as a full fledged Jedi Padawan, fights against the tyranny of the Empire to the best of his abilities, ready to lead the Alliance to a better tomorrow.
