Six years ago.
A lone master sat on a ledge working on his saber staff, when a pair of much younger knights ran up to him. At first they were both very quiet, as they stood there staring at the marble floor below them. They didn't seem to bother him but glance at him and the floor, then one of the two young girls seemed to speak out to him.
"Master Hunter, why are you always sitting alone? You always avoid the other Masters and none of them ever seem to talk to you, or pay any attention to you at all." She curiously asked, her face flushed as she tried to avoid any eye contact with him.
For a while Master Hunter didn't answer, but merely looked back down at his weapon and finished assembling it. Before looking up at them both, they were both nineteen not much older than his own apprentice. He smiled, showing his silver white eyes to them, "Because I am very different than most of the other Masters. For I love the thrill of battle and enjoy the rush of adrenaline in combat and the thrill of fighting with my sabers or my bare hands." He closed his eyes and leaned back staring into the sky, "Those reasons are because I am both Jedi and Mandalorian."
At first they looked at him with fear in their eyes, then their looks changed from fear to pure excitement as they both looked at him now with even more curiosity. They giggled wanting to know more about him, but as he was about to begin a story, another young girl walked up to them.
The young girl was wearing her Jedi robes over black combat armor, with her long violet hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Master we're getting sent on a mission out into the Unknown Regions, the Council says it is of the highest priority."
He dropped down from the ledge onto his feet, his ghost white hair falling down against his back and quickly clicking his saberstaff to his belt. They both then headed down towards one of the many hangars in the temple.
The Jedi Master looked down at his padawan, his hair flying behind him, "So Arya, where are we going, what's the mission?" He questioned before pushing her towards her fighter.
"Our mission Master, is to investigate a temple on a remote planet, the council has been hearing disturbing news of people disappearing and a strong Dark Side presence." She smiled and stopped explaining for a second as she typed in the coordinates on her fighter as Hunter did the same in his own fighter. "But Master, I don't know what to think about the mission until we actually arrive.
Their numbers have increased expediently since they returned and attacked Korriban, to regain their ancestral home world. The returned with one thought in mind, The Complete and total destruction of the Republic.
Within a few days of hyperspace travel and deep meditation they arrived in the Unknown Regions. The Republic has been around for 25,000 years. With thousands of star systems and species being discovered, yet this area still remained Unknown to most of the Galaxy at large.
They set their fighters down on the planet's surface just outside the temple, as they both dropped onto the desert terrain and drawing their lightsabers before heading inside.
