Daakman Barrek was a male Human from the planet Mrlsst, who lived during the last years of the Galactic Republic. At an early age, Barrek’s mother discovered that he was Force-sensitive and willingly gave Daakman over to the Jedi Order. Barrek became a powerful member of the Order, quickly ascending to the rank of Master after training his first Padawan, and took a second apprentice named Sha’a Gi. In 22 BBY, Barrek and Sha’a Gi were operating in the Outer Rim when they received word that war had broken out between the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems on Geonosis, and that Barrek’s first apprentice had died in the fighting.
