Description: Qort was an Aloxian male Jedi Knight in the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. As a child, Qort was left at the doorstep of Maz Kanata, and was taken care of by Kanata and Sav Malagán before being sent away to the Order. Qort was the Padawan of Tabakan Pak, and the best friend of fellow Padawans Lula Talisola and Farzala Tarabal during his training, the former often keeping him and Tarabal out of mischief. The trio studied on the Padawan Academic Cruiser Star Hopper with Jedi Masters Yoda, Kantam Sy, and Torban Buck during the Nihil conflict.
In that capacity, Qort and the others were dispatched to assist the planet Trymant IV after an Emergence. In the wake of this hyperspace emergency, a group of Nihil arrived and threatened the citizens of Bralanak City. There, he witnessed Zeen Mrala use The Force, and fought the Nihil forces with the rest of the Star Hopper Jedi. After Marchion Ro escaped the planet with Krix Kamerat and Elder Tromak, Qort and the others welcomed Mrala into the care of the Jedi and returned to Starlight Beacon.
After the Nihil were spotted on the Junk Moon of Quantxi, Qort, Tarabal, and Talisola followed Mrala, who had gone on her own to find Kamerat. Planetside, the Padawans once again found themselves facing scores of Nihil raiders, but were saved by an angry Savrip summoned by the Junk Mavens. Back on Starlight, Qort and Tarabal were relieved that Talisola and Mrala survived a close encounter with Kamerat.
Months of fighting the Nihil and the Drengir later, Qort and Tarabal were chosen to accompany Master Obratuk Glii on a diplomatic envoy to Nal Hutta aboard the Vessel. During the trip, Tarabal and Leox Gyasi went planetside while Qort stayed with his new friends Geode and Affie Hollow. Hutt Clan enforcers secretly boarded the Vessel and made it fire on the Hutts, ruining the diplomatic mission and putting Qort and Hollow at gunpoint. Thanks to Geode's fancy flying and Tarabal's conquering of his fear, Qort and his allies were able to successfully fight off the Hutt clan and open negotiations between the Hutts and the Jedi.
After the attack on the Republic Fair, the Padawans reunited on Starlight, where Qort met Ram Jomaram, and the Padawans departed for Takodana to help defend the temple there from incoming Nihil attacks. During preparations, two Nihil double agents planted thermal detonators and blew up the temple, as Nihil starfighters approached. Qort's Vonduun crab mask was broken in the destruction, and as a result, he unleashed his unrestricted natural abilities, taking the Nihil on in the air and driving Kamerat away.
Back on Starlight, Qort participated in the Great Jedi Rumble Race held by masters Buck and Sy, and later was part of a task force to find and capture Kamerat for good. Padawan Bibs found Kamerat's Nihil encampment on Dol'har Hyde, and the Padawans descended upon the world to finally capture Kamerat in the depths of his base. With Kamerat imprisoned on the Starhopper, Qort met a young Aloxian Jedi Initiate named Zint, with whom he bonded through meditation and play. On the trip back to Starlight, their masters considering their training complete, Qort and Tarabal were officially knighted as Jedi Knights, removing their Padawan braids and raising their lightsabers into the air.
Soon after, during the Destruction of Starlight Beacon, recently knighted Qort aided in the rescue of many Jedi and younglings from the doomed station alongside Master Buck. They were able to escape after a brief altercation with a Nameless that Buck sacrificed himself to distract, and Qort comforting the group of scared younglings on Emerick Caphtor's ship.
One year later, Qort was with Zeen Mrala, and the two ventured to the moon Bracront in search of the missing Padawan Lula Talisola.
Personality and traits
Qort had deep blue skin and brown eyes. As a Padawan, Qort was quite short, although he was taller than the diminutive Master Yoda in his young age, and grew taller as he aged. Qort was kindly, being quick to back up Lula Talisola's statement that she and her friends would support Zeen Mrala while the Mikkian girl was crying over being separated from her best friend. He was eager to help his friends. As he grew up, Qort used his kindness with younglings like Zint in both making them feel welcome, playing with them, and comforting them when Starlight Beacon was destroyed. This continued into his older years, as Qort was very comforting to Zeen during her grieving over Lula Talisola's disappearance on Starlight Beacon.
Powers and abilities
Qort could use the Force, and was talented enough in lightsaber combat to battle pirates on Trymant IV, and Nihil and Drengir across the galaxy. Aloxians are born incredibly violent and strong, but their urges are balanced out by the crab skull they wore until maturity. Qort used this natural strength and power to fight the Nihil in the skies above Nymeve Lake. He was also, according to Farzala Tarabal, exceedingly quick.
Qort understood Galactic Basic Standard but did not speak it at first, communicating in Aloxian while he wore his mask, speaking a mix of basic and his original language once it was removed. This came in handy and allowed him to speak with Zint when he first met the younger Aloxian. In his youth, Qort spoke in, and as described by Zeen Mrala, a scratchy little voice. Over a year after the fall of Starlight Beacon, Qort seemed to have no issue speaking totally basic.
Equipment
As a Padawan, Qort wore brown Jedi robes and wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber. Qort wore a sash on his robes that matched the color of his lightsaber, as was Jedi tradition. From his infancy until his return to Takodana, the Aloxian apprentice wore a traditional vonduun crab skull mask which covered almost all of Qort's head save for the eyes, mouth and chin. The mask had a texture of crown-like spikes radiating from it. The mask was destroyed during the Nihil attack on Takodana, which allowed Qort to fully unleash his skills. As a Jedi Knight, Qort wore a more tactical-looking outfit, with a hood and distinct gauntlets featuring the High Republic crest.
