Dagan Gera was a Force-sensitive Arkanian Offshoot male who was once a Jedi Knight and renowned explorer and considered a well respected member of the Jedi Order during his prime in the High Republic Era, and discovered the paradisical planet Tanalorr on an uncharted trip through the deadly Koboh Abyss nebula. His desire to use Tanalorr as a bastion of the Jedi on the Outer Rim and as a temple to train initiates soon blossomed into an obsession with the planet, however the Jedi Council gave the order to abandon Tanalorr which culminated in him falling to the dark side and betraying the Jedi, and being sealed inside a bacta tank for two centuries after the Nihil invaded Tanalorr. Gera was woken from this slumber in 9 BBY by the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis during the reign of the Galactic Empire and discovered the fall of the Galactic Republic and that the Jedi Order was no more. Consumed by his feeling of betrayal, he joined the Bedlam Raiders. He then began a campaign to return to Tanalorr that put him at odds with Kestis, who ultimately defeated and killed the fallen Jedi with the help of Bode Akuna.
