| abstract | - Guan Blackthorne is one of two sons to Cadden Blackthorne. He and Jerik were birthed from cloning cylinders, just like their half-brothers Caius and Xanic. Like their half-brothers, they themselves are not clones of either Cadden, their father, or their mother, Renalla. Rather, they were test-tube birthed. Due to unknown circumstances, their aging was, as a result, accelerated until puberty, after which the process stabilized to normal levels. The reasons for this are, to-date, unknown, and perhaps deliberate. Guan is the more insightful of the two young Blackthornes. He has always been more clear-minded than Jerik, and stronger with the usage of Force powers than his brother, as well. However, Jerik had been given Cadden's warrior blood and personality, which makes the blonde-haired brother of Guan's silent, more proficient with the lightsaber, and much more capable of defeating his opponents faster than the more conservative Guan. Despite their accelerated aging, Guan and Jerik are, easily, approaching time for their Jedi Trials and graduating to Knighthood. They made up the lost time by practicing their skills day in and day out until puberty, which has made them more than capable of being put up against others of their age in the Jedi Order. He prefers to only use his lightsaber if the time calls for it. Otherwise, he uses the other skills that he inherited from his mother, such as persuasion and Force powers, to get the job done. Alongside his brother, Guan has had an adventurous life since he left Ronu III. The day they were brought to their father, they have encountered more trouble, more adventures, than he dared to count. However, those days ended when Cadden departed from the two to Mandalore, and since then Guan has joined the Jedi Order's cause. He and his brother are currently stationed on Taylon, in the City of the Jedi, having survived the Cylon Imperium's attack on the world and a near-successful Xen'Chi assault not too long after. Guan continued to serve the Jedi while at the City, and with his brother, he formed the Guardians of Life. Soon after, the Cult of Shadow attacked Onderon and, while Jerik left to aid in the efforts, Guan chose the wiser option of staying on Taylon, though would later regret this decision. The Guardians' first official mission, however, was to find the man known as Sion, who turned out to be Caius Wyn. The mission was a failure, and the Guardians lost over half of the Jedi in the task force to Sion and his followers. When the Guardians returned to Taylon to give Cazzik the report, Wyn was grief-strucken. Not long after, Guan participated in the Battle of Chil'a'Chin. Guan would later learn of his father's disappearance and joined the Mandalorian Togra Locklear in attempting to find him, only to come to a cold trail. With the absense of Jerik since he left for Onderon, Guan feared the worst for his brother, and requested Togra that he deliver a message to his Mandalore that he would like to receive training. When Guan later traveled to Mandalore he met with Garen Starfall, the Mandalore and, after a brief conversation, Garen himself opted to train Guan in the warriors' ways.
