An educator is what the historian Beaumont Kin initially wanted to be. But Kin—labeled "useless" by his parents, yet destined to be among the youngest professors at the Lerct Historical Institute following his education at Lerct's Arhul Hextrophon School of Embedded Journalism—gave up on this professional path when the Hosnian system suffered destruction. Consequently, the academic enlisted in the Resistance, employing his expertise in battlefield operations against both the First Order and the Sith.
