Notable Antarian Rangers, Marus Timpel

Was a male Human Jedi Master who served with the Jedi Order approximately six centuries prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Born on Coruscant and raised in the Jedi Temple, Marus honed his Force-skills and eventually attained the rank of Jedi Master. One day, while on routine duties on the planet of Antar 4, Marus met a Gotal who had been turned down for Jedi training years earlier; in fact, turned away by Marus himself. The Gotal's name was Kaskutal and he possessed none of the bitterness many beings acquired when turned away from Jedi training. Kaskutal still admired the Jedi Order and made a very successful life for himself since then as a businessman. Marus and Kaskutal soon became friends and Marus would express his frustration on how his life as a Jedi limited him in available resources. Upon hearing this, Kaskutal proceeded to raise funds to create an organization that could help the Jedi Order in ways that would alleviate some of Marus' frustrations. The organization founded became known as the Antarian Rangers. As it grew and expanded, it moved beyond the borders of Antar 4, acquiring more and more members among beings who also admired the Jedi and wished to help them in any way possible. Throughout the rest of his career as a Jedi, Marus Timpel was accompanied by Kaskutal whose resources and limited Force-sensitivity proved more than valuable on multiple occasions. When Marus Timpel became one with the Force, Kaskutal took on an administrative role to manage the operations of the organization. With his strong business and managerial skills, Kaskutal ensured that the organization was financially stable and helped to continue its expansion (original article copied from Wookieepedia)
