25 BBY

• Befriends Jocasta Nu and develops a great interest in Jedi lore, spending most of his time prowling the archives

24 BBY

• Develops fully into the serpentine (elder) stage of the Dur Sabon life cycle
• Along with much of the Order, discovers a profound respect for and friendship with Master Coleman Trebor, who is held up as an ideal model for how Jedi should behave
• After making it clear that he did not yet feel ready to take on a Padawan learner, he is sent by Jocasta Nu, with the blessing of the High Council, to Ossus, where he makes great strides in piecing together lost Jedi lore. Here, he gains tremendous respect for the traditions that hold throughout the Order's rich history.

22 BBY

• Fulfilling the final wish of Coleman Trebor, delivers news of the Jedi Master's death to his home planet, Sembla
• Sent by the council, at the urging of Jocasta Nu, on his most dangerous mission - He is ordered to Korriban, to investigate Sith history and turn up any knowledge that might help the Jedi combat the re-emerging Sith threat

21 BBY

• Akea Oahu is called to Coruscant for re-assignment, the need for Jedi becoming even greater as the Clone Wars progress
• Seeing that his mind and heart remain pure after a year spent studying Sith lore, both Akea himself and the Council feel he is ready to take on Padawan
• Akea and his Padawan fight in the Clone Wars, along with most of the Jedi Order

19 BBY

• Akea's Padawan is killed on Ossus while the pair attempted to protect the remains of the Great Jedi Library, much to his consternation
• Strong enough in the Force to defeat his attackers, Akea is nevertheless shaken and scarred by the success of Order 66, which he perceives to be not just a failure of the Jedi Order, but a failure of Jedi philosophy as a whole
• Frustrated, he remembers his trip to the planet Sembla, thinking its remoteness and aquatic environment will make it an ideal place to lay-low in the wake of Order 66

18 BBY

• Oahu is hiding on Sembla, far from the reaches of the civilized galaxy. He allows those who spot him to believe he is a kind, intelligent, but perhaps non-sentient sea serpent. He continues to ponder the fate of the Jedi and the failure of its Code, his frustrations festering in his solitude.
• Feeling himself falling to his own anger, he avoids a fall to the darkside by self-inducing selective amnesia with an ancient Force technique he mastered in the course of his studies, not knowing that this would be the key to his salvation
• His memories of being Jedi completely suppressed, Oahu lives in solitude on Sembla, not caring to involve himself in Galactic affairs any longer. He knows not why he hides, but persists in his solitude
