Warren of the Narrows
- Age: Appears to be in 80s-90s at time of death.
- Force Sensitivity: Master
- Species: Human
- Appearance: As a Force ghost, his form appears as a softly glowing, translucent blue figure. His edges are diffused, and his robes drift gently as though suspended in water, while his body remains unnaturally still.
As a Jedi Master he appeared very tall for his species, standing nearly seven feet tall. He was a gentle giant, and even in his old age he only sagged a little due to years of trying to make himself smaller. His hair was long and white, tied neatly at the nape of his neck, paired with a well-kept beard that framed a deeply lined face. His eyes were calm, and penetrating.
He wore layered Jedi robes in muted earth tones, always clean and carefully arranged, with subtle refined detailing. His sleeves were long, often concealing his hands within them. Younglings who were afraid of other Masters were never afraid of Master Abarosis.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Elias Abarosis served the Jedi Order for decades as a Consular, dedicating his life to diplomacy, mediation, and the prevention of conflict wherever possible. In the years following the Gulag Plague, as the galaxy struggled through cycles of war and instability, he trained numerous Padawans, guiding them through uncertain times with a steady and disciplined hand. Many of his students went on to become capable Jedi in their own right, shaped by his emphasis on restraint and understanding over aggression.
Throughout this long career, Abarosis served under multiple banners as the structure of the galaxy shifted around him, first the Republic, then the Silver Jedi, later the Alliance, and finally the High Republic. While governments and factions rose and fell, his purpose remained constant: to bring clarity where there was confusion, and calm where there was conflict.
Late in his life, Abarosis made what some considered an unconventional choice in taking Warren as his Padawan. Where others saw a physically imposing being with the makings of a warrior, Abarosis saw something else entirely: a frightened boy struggling to understand a galaxy that did not understand him in return. Rather than shaping him into a weapon, Abarosis sought to teach him how to exist within that galaxy without becoming one.
His teachings didn't focus on combat, choosing rather to teach restraint. He taught Warren how to carry himself without intimidation, how to speak with intention, and how to listen before acting. Combat training was left to others, reinforcing Abarosis's belief that violence was a failure of earlier choices.
Following his passing, Abarosis retained his consciousness within the Force, becoming one with it while still able to manifest as a guiding presence. Now, he appears to Warren in moments of uncertainty, not to provide answers, but to guide him toward them. His teachings persist through quiet reminders: to pause, to understand, and to choose carefully.
