Dorn Tavers was a Human male, identified as such by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Tavers was formerly a Jedi Knight who was in service to the Jedi Order during the declining years of the Galactic Republic. Unlike many members of the Order, Tavers lived through the rise of the Galactic Empire, and he later assisted the Rebel Alliance in their objective of dismantling the Empire.
Because he was discovered to be Force-sensitive, Dorn Tavers was admitted into the academy at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Eventually, he passed his Trials of Knighthood and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Tavers dedicated himself to independent study in order to follow the path of the Jedi Guardian, and in doing so, he realized his ambitions and served the Order in that capacity. The specifics of his involvement in the Clone Wars have been lost to history, but Tavers survived the downfall of the Order and the Republic, which occurred when the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic revealed that he was actually Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Tavers fled from Sidious' Jedi hunters and traded his traditional robes for more fashionable attire, indulging his passion for style while in hiding. After the Alliance to Restore the Republic gained traction after the destruction of Alderaan, Tavers' image, along with that of the deceased Jedi Sia-Lan Wezz, was used in a propaganda campaign. The banner, entitled "Remember Alderaan," showed Tavers and Wezz next to each other, both supporting the Alliance's cause.
