Dorian Innes

"It took me years to understand that I could put it right and be the person I needed to be. That I could stop hiding and show the world how I felt."

He was assigned on a Republic and Jedi Order mission to the planet Angoth to capture one of the Nameless creatures from the Nihil marauders.

Notes and references

↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Into the Dark to 232 BBY. As Into the Dark establishes that Reath Silas is seventeen years old, he must have been born around 249 BBY. The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless further states Dorian Innes is around the same age as Silas, meaning he must have been born around that year.
