| rdfs:comment | - Vlan Korensan's homeworld is unknown and he doesn't speak of it very much. His reasons for this are his own. Only one person was ever told where he is actually from, his former master, Erik Muir. Vlan's childhood is also shrouded in mystery. Not even Erik knows that. Whatever the case may be, Vlan was born in 15 BBY. By the time he was ten years old, he had already begun training in the ways of the Force, by a Force user on his planet. The Force user eventually left that planet and he took Vlan along with him. Vlan's training progressed over the years and when he was fifteen, in 0 BBY, he met Erik Muir.

Only one person was ever told where he is actually from, his former master, Erik Muir. Vlan's childhood is also shrouded in mystery. Not even Erik knows that. Whatever the case may be, Vlan was born in 15 BBY. By the time he was ten years old, he had already begun training in the ways of the Force, by a Force user on his planet. The Force user eventually left that planet and he took Vlan along with him. Vlan's training progressed over the years and when he was fifteen, in 0 BBY, he met Erik Muir. The force user that he had trained under had wanted to meet Muir, for reasons that were all his own. The Bothan Jedi was at the age of twenty and was on his way to becoming a Jedi Knight. The force user ensured Vlan a place at the academy where Erik was also learning, before leaving, saying that he was needed elsewhere and that Vlan's place was at the academy. There was only a short age gap between Erik and Vlan and the two quickly became friends. Erik could see what the force user had meant when he had said that Vlan was special and he took the younger man under his wing, helping him when he could. He knew that the masters and knights liked taking padawans who were younger than Vlan, mainly because they had less emotional problems, something that was ever present in their minds after what happened with Anakin Skywalker and the Jedi Purge. Erik believed that this was good and fine, but that one couldn't over look the older padawans just because of their age. When he became a Jedi Knight, he took Vlan on as his padawan and continued the man's tutelage in the Force. Vlan was a little surprised by Erik's choice of action, since he had figured that Erik would take one of the younger padawans. Encouraged by his friend's show of confidence in him, he began to work to become a great Jedi in order to make his friend proud and also show that Erik had been right all along. Vlan's training continued and progressed by leaps and bounds. No matter what he did though, he felt as though it wasn't enough. Because of how close he was to Erik in age, he felt as though he should be on the same level as Erik, not "below" Erik in ranking. He felt pressure on himself to succeed and to make himself better than the rest, even better than Erik. He didn't understand the true path of a Jedi, opting for a faster path, one that would enable him to advance faster. He chose the Dark Side.
