Timeline/Chronology:

3651–3643 BBY (Age 0–8) | Peripheral Upbringing in Onderon’s Shadow

Jethro Teff was born in the peripheral districts outside Iziz on Onderon, far from court politics but close to their consequences. His mother, Hessa Teff, worked intermittently as a black-market field medic, while his father, Orun Teff, operated as a courier and low-level propagandist during periods of regime instability. Childhood was defined by movement, provisional shelter, and exposure to untreated injuries rather than overt violence. Jethro learned early that authority arrived late and left early, often leaving cleanup to civilians. Force sensitivity screenings were never conducted beyond informal community checks and showed no indicators. He developed an early habit of watching before acting, absorbing situational cues before responding.

3643–3636 BBY (Age 8–15) | Adolescent Exposure to Regime Turnover

As Onderon shifted through political realignments, Jethro witnessed rapid changes in law enforcement posture and civic legitimacy. His father’s courier work increasingly overlapped with propaganda distribution, placing the family under quiet scrutiny. Educational access was inconsistent, but Jethro demonstrated aptitude in logistics, pattern recognition, and de-escalation during communal disputes. Teachers and local organizers described him as cautious but reliable once engaged. During this period, he internalized the idea that survival often meant waiting until outcomes clarified themselves. Ethical questions were present but deferred in favor of procedural compliance and family stability.

3636–3632 BBY (Age 15–19) | Familial Loss and First Moral Fracture

Orun Teff was arrested and executed following a regime change, officially labeled a destabilizing propagandist despite minimal operational impact. The process was swift, procedural, and technically legal, leaving little space for appeal or resistance. Jethro’s mother continued field medical work until her death during an untreated outbreak several years later, reinforcing his association between delayed response and preventable loss. These events instilled a deep suspicion of legitimacy divorced from consequence. Jethro did not rebel; instead, he withdrew, becoming more restrained and observant. This period cemented his tendency to hesitate at moral inflection points rather than act impulsively.

3632–3628 BBY (Age 19–23) | Entry into Illicit Logistics and Crowd Work

Without formal sponsorship, Jethro entered peripheral logistics and crowd-management work tied to black-market supply chains. His early roles involved managing distribution points during shortages and calming unrest long enough for transfers to occur. He showed particular effectiveness in preventing escalation without asserting dominance. Local operators noted his reluctance to take command unless explicitly required, followed by total commitment once responsibility was assumed. This earned him a reputation as dependable but slow to choose sides. His work increasingly placed him adjacent to syndicate interests without formal affiliation.

3628–3625 BBY (Age 23–26) | Recruitment into Black Sun Field Operations

Jethro was formally pulled into Black Sun operations through an informal handler who valued his stabilization skill set. He was deployed as a field-level operative specializing in escalation containment, pressure modulation, and coordination during unrest. His authority remained situational, dependent on context rather than rank. Initial evaluations flagged hesitation under ambiguous orders but praised follow-through once objectives were clarified. He avoided ideological buy-in, treating assignments as operational problems rather than moral statements. Black Sun leadership tolerated this neutrality due to consistent results.

3625–3623 BBY (Age 26–28) | Repeated Exposure to Ethical Stressors
Jethro participated in multiple unrest and provocation scenarios where Black Sun interests benefited from controlled instability. In several cases, delayed intervention allowed situations to worsen before he acted decisively to contain fallout. Post-operation reviews noted measurable success paired with unnecessary casualties or damage. These outcomes weighed heavily on him, disrupting his operational composure without fully breaking loyalty. He began quietly adjusting tactics to minimize harm while remaining within procedural bounds. His reputation shifted to “chooses right eventually,” a descriptor that carried both trust and critique.

3623–3621 BBY (Age 28–30) | Doctrinal Strain and Emerging Realignment

Recent deployments forced Jethro into scenarios where procedural legitimacy directly conflicted with civilian survival. In at least one instance, he delayed compliance long enough to reroute local assets toward evacuation rather than suppression. While outcomes were stabilized, internal trust with handlers became strained. Jethro has not defected, but his loyalty is increasingly conditional on accountability rather than authority. He remains a mobile field operative, effective but internally divided. This period marks the beginning of a slow transition from procedural deference to earned moral leadership—without dominance, and without certainty.
