History Characters / KnightsoftheOldRepublic

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CrispinFreeman

* {{Omniglot}}: Your PC knows an unusually high amount of alien languages.
** [[spoiler: However, [[WildMassGuessing this could be explained as languages Revan knew or studied that is still a subconcious memory.]]]] The Force may be their translator, alternatively.

* [[spoiler:DroppedABridgeOnHim: Vitiate, you ''monster.'']]

* [[TheGenericGuy The Generic Droid]]: Explained as he is a fairly new droid yet to develop any quirks. When he reappears in the sequel, he's gone five years without a memory wipe (due to events explained in the EU novel ''Revan),'' which has led to him developing personality traits.

** [[spoiler:WindsOfDestinyChange: His explicit power, although he only learns about it very late in the story.]]

* MageKiller: As a mandalorian veteran he's perfectly capable of taking on force users.

* TheDragon: As the Commander of the Sith fleet.

* FamousLastWords:[[spoiler:"And you never knew, did you? Remember...remember my dying words. Remember them when you look upon those you thought were your friends."]]

* InsaneAdmiral: Saul is an utterly ruthless bastard who, after defecting to the Sith and becoming the Admiral in charge of their fleet, has razed multiple worlds.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Due to what he's done to [[spoiler:Carth and his family]], his complete absence of remorse over the matter and ColdBloodedTorture, killing him feels very satisfying.
* PetTheDog[=/=]EvenEvilHasStandards: When Malak orders the bombardment of Taris, Karath questions it, horrified at the potential killing of civilians and friendly troops. He carries out the bombardment when Malak mentions the fate of his predecessor. It's also later revealed in supplemental material that the only reason he joined Revan and Malak was to keep his command intact and his men together.

The Master of the Sith Academy on Korriban, and the Sith the player must impress if they wish to get access to the Star Map in Naga Sadow’s tomb.

* SupernaturalGoldenEyes: Uthar has the golden eyes indicative of a Dark Side user.

-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RobinSachs

[[caption-width-right:160:"War's a funny thing. It makes you do things you never thought you'd do."]]

The Admiral of the Sith fleet and Carth's [[TreacherousAdvisor mentor]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: Got a lot of pagetime in the KOTOR comics.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Considerably tougher than any other Sith officer or trooper you have to face in combat.
* BlingOfWar: Has a rather pimped-out uniform compared to other Sith officers.
* DirtyCoward: When Saul is in charge, he's very arrogant. When Malak's around, he's reduced to a stammering wimp of a man.
* TheDragon: As the Commander of the Sith fleet.
* EvilBrit: He's a villainous Sith Admiral with a British accent at least, courtesy of his [[Creator/RobinSachs voice actor]].
* TheEvilGenius: Credited for half of Malak's victories during the war.
* FaceHeelTurn: Never really the nicest of folks, but fought for the Republic until he decided defecting was the only way to keep his command in one piece.
* FamousLastWords:[[spoiler:"And you never knew, did you? Remember...remember my dying words. Remember them when you look upon those you thought were your friends."]]
* HypercompetentSidekick: To Darth Malak. Malak has a quite feeble grasp on tactics, preferring a strategy consisting almost entirely of AttackAttackAttack, while Karath understands the importance of using restraint, trickery, and cunning to outmaneuver the enemy. Carth credits him with at least half of Malak's success in the war.
* InsaneAdmiral: Saul is an utterly ruthless bastard who, after defecting to the Sith and becoming the Admiral in charge of their fleet, has razed multiple worlds.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Due to what he's done to [[spoiler:Carth and his family]], his complete absence of remorse over the matter and ColdBloodedTorture, killing him feels very satisfying.
* PetTheDog[=/=]EvenEvilHasStandards: When Malak orders the bombardment of Taris, Karath questions it, horrified at the potential killing of civilians and friendly troops. He carries out the bombardment when Malak mentions the fate of his predecessor. It's also later revealed in supplemental material that the only reason he joined Revan and Malak was to keep his command intact and his men together.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Right before he defected, he tried to recruit Carth as his right-hand man. Carth told him to get lost. The end result speaks for itself.

[[folder:Calo Nord]]
!!Calo Nord
-->'''Voiced by''': Lloyd Sherr
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Calonordprofile1_4163.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:"I have to give you credit. You've led me on quite a chase. But nobody gets away from Calo Nord in the end!"]]

A legendary bounty hunter who has been known to kill people simply for talking to him. He is currently employed by the crime lord Davik Kang.

* AbusiveParents: They sold him into slavery.
* AllThereInTheManual: He has a very in-depth backstory that explains his surprisingly sad origins and how he became so deadly in present day. Given that he's not exactly verbose, all the info's tucked away in supplementary material.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: When a bounty was placed on his head after he freed himself and butchered his slave masters, Calo studied how the bounty hunters tracking him operated, adopting their methods and skills for himself. He then used the skills he learned from them to kill them all, to the point where the Bounty Hunter's Guild thought he was too dangerous to keep a contract out on and called it off. It didn't stop Calo from finding and killing the ones who put the bounty on him in the first place.
* AxCrazy: He'll off you ''[[HatesSmallTalk for trying to make small talk with him.]]''
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's a man of few words, and isn't much for idle conversation. If you're lucky, he'll give you until the count of three before he gets violent.
* BountyHunter: He's one of the most infamous bounty hunters in the galaxy. Mission says he's killed more people than the Iridian plague.
* BullyingADragon: Despite his fearsome reputation, some
* ChallengeSeeker: Calo doesn't need to be paid if the target is powerful enough. There's also a Krayt dragon head in his room, meaning he took one out ''himself''.
* CountingToThree: If you don't shut up before he finishes, he'll shoot you.
* CurbStompBattle: The player can run into him twice on Taris. The first time he's killing gang members for insulting him, the second he comes to collect the bounties of a few Rodians. Though outnumbered, neither group presents him with anything resembling a challenge. The first time the player tries to talk to him, or antagonizes him, [[HopelessBossFight he'll do the same to you ad your party.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Again, he'll murder people just for talking to him, even if they're trying to be friendly or compliment him.
* TheDragon: He is introduced as Davik Kang's.
* EgomaniacHunter: In addition to being a bounty hunter, he hunts dangerous animals for Davik Kang's collection. One of his journal entries notes how he killed a rancor and how he's eager to go after a krayt dragon. That same journal also notes that he [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunts sentient beings as well.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's introduced being insulted by some Black Vulkar's. When they're not done talking to him by the time he [[CountingToThree counts to three]], he kills them. If you try to talk to him afterwards, even if it's friendly, he'll do the same thing to you.
* FreudianExcuse: His parents sold him into slavery and during his time enslaved, he learned to be cold-blooded and ruthless. He killed his slave masters, and his parents for selling him in the first place, but a bounty was put on his head and he had to learn the techniques of those hunting him in order to survive and turn the tables on them.
* GogglesDoNothing: He wears goggles for no discernible reason. Though he does use a sort of "flashbang" grenade to blind three thugs and then shoot them in his first scene, so maybe that's why.
* HatesSmallTalk: He'll give you until the count of three. Then he starts shooting.
* HopelessBossFight: If you refuse to stop talking to him or threatening him in the Lower City cantina. He's invincible and can kill any character in one hit.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Implied in one of his journal entries where it notes he's hunted both incredibly dangerous animals as well as sentients. Though, that could just be a reference to his bounty hunting.
* ItsPersonal: Calo is quite pissed you got away from him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Calo is curt, mean, and haughty.
* TheNapoleon: He is notably shorter than any other human character and supposedly has a complex about his height. One of the Black Vulkar's taunting him by calling him a runt, probably ensured
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: How exactly ''[[UnexplainedRecovery did]]'' he survive Taris?
* RecurringBoss: He's fought on Taris and then on which ever world you collect your first post-Dantooine Star Map on.
* TheRival: To Canderous Ordo. Both of them are bounty hunters, both of them work for Davik Kang, and their employer considers both of them to be his top men. However, Calo and Canderous despise one another and take potshots at each other when they meet face-to-face.
* SelfMadeOrphan: He tracked down and murdered his parents in retribution for them [[AbusiveParents selling him into slavery]].
* ShootTheBuilder: Calo Nord's armor was specially commissioned to be based on the design worn by Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. Once it was finished, Calo murdered the man who created it to make sure his armor remained one of a kind, and also to get out of paying for it.
* SlaveToPR: If you try to talk your way out of a fight with him in your second encounter, Nord will respond that he's not in it for the credits. The player and his party are the only people to have ever gotten away from him and he has a reputation to protect.
* TakingYouWithMe: At the end of his first boss fight, when his health reaches a certain level, he pulls out a [[CallForward thermal detonator]] to kill them all. It doesn't work, as he's crushed under debris during the Sith bombardment before he can activate it.
* UnexplainedRecovery: He gets [[spoiler:crushed by debris while holding a thermal detonator while on a planet that was in the middle of getting bombarded into a barren wasteland]]. The only explanation given for his survival is his boast to Malak that he's "hard to kill." Of course, considering that he wears, statistically, the second-best combat armor in the game ''and'' the next time we see him, it's been a period of several weeks, we can infer that he was found by the Sith and treated for his injuries.

!!!Jedi

[[folder:Vandar Tokare]]
!!Master Vandar Tokare
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vandar_tokar_kotor.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomKane

A member of the Jedi Council. He is of the same species as Yoda.
----
* BigGood: He appears to be the leader of the Council members based on Dantooine.
* {{Expy}}: Of Yoda.
* OldMaster: It's implied that he's centuries old.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is very supportive of the party.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Averted. He's a member of Yoda's species and has a very similar voice; but he speaks in normal, coherent sentences.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: He was [[spoiler:killed by Darth Nihilus at Katarr]] between the two games.

[[folder:Vrook Lamar]]
!!Master Vrook Lamar
-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/EdAsner

A particularly stern member of the Jedi Council. He returns in the sequel, where the Exile searches for him on Dantooine.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As the Exile discovers if s/he tries to kill him in the sequel.
* GoodIsNotNice: As stern and grouchy as he is, he is a devoted servant of the Light.
* GoodIsNotSoft: {{Lampshaded}} when you ask why he's being a jerk:
-->'''Vrook''': ''If you find me overly critical, perhaps it is because you do not fully understand what is at stake...[The Republic] may fall because we, the Jedi, have failed them...this is why I can ask for nothing ''less'' than perfection.''
* GrumpyOldMan: Take a look at the voice actor again.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Vrook is especially critical of a Exile from a very early age, even going as far to declare the Jedi as "mediocre" during his/her days as a padawan. During a light side playthrough, that same "mediocre Jedi" then goes on to lead from the front in the most brutal and lethal campaigns in the Mandalorian Wars, earning a reputation as legendary warrior, surviving even the destruction of Malachor V, then goes on to save the ''entire'' Jedi Order from certain extinction. [[spoiler:Subverted in that the Exile's abilities are later shown to have the same root as the Sith assassins and Darth Nihilus: by forging bonds with companions (or enemies) through the Force, the Exile can draw on those same bonds to become stronger, making the Exile an exceptionally persuasive leader ''and'' skilled Jedi, something Vrook and the other Council members never fully understood at the time.]] Vrook's fears prove to be spot-on, however, if the Exile falls to the dark side.
* InkSuitActor: Resembles Creator/EdAsner.
* {{Jerkass}}: Though there are instances where he is justified in his less than welcoming demeanour, as you can see in these very examples, but there's no getting around the fact that sometimes he's clearly just being an ass.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He acts like a flaming jerk to both player characters. In the first case, it's [[spoiler: because re-training and trusting a mindwiped ''Sith Lord'' really is a bad idea]]. And in the second game, he's even less thrilled with the Exile, seeing her (or him) as a "mediocre Jedi" whose presence only brings disaster...and turns out to be right.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a jerk, no question, but he's also a Jedi. It's practically a requirement. Despite his stern behavior, general unlikability (both out of universe and in, people just don't seem that fond of him), he is still a good man. He praises light-sided acts in the first game, at least the few on Dantooine, anyway. In the second game allows himself to get captured by bounty hunters in an effort to avert all-out war on Dantooine ([[NiceJobBreakingItHero which you screwed up]]), then goes off to fight the mercenaries on his own for no reason other than to buy you time to prepare Khoonda for the inevitable invasion. Sure, all in all he may be short-sighted and judgmental, but his heart's in the right place. He also accepts that he was overly harsh to the Exile after having helped take down Azkhul.
* OldMaster: As old as he is, he is a powerful and wise Jedi Master.

!!!Other [=NPCs=]

[[folder:Chuundar]]
!!Chuundar

Zaalbar's elder brother, the one responsible for his exile and Czerka Corp's increased presence on Kashyyyk.

* ArcVillain: If you're on a Light Side playthrough, Chuundar is the primary antagonist of Kashyyyk, being responsible for Czerka Corp's presence, the enslaved Wookiees, and Zaalbar's exile.
* CainAndAbel: He's the Cain to Zaalbar's Abel, but due to his good publicity the Wookiees of Kashyyyk see it the other way, viewing Zaalbar as a mad-claw and Chuundar the savior of their people. Also, despite being the Cain, Chuundar tries to convince Zaalbar to join him, only resorting to killing him if he continues opposing him.
* ChallengingTheChief: He's Chieftain of Rwookrrorro, but if the player gives his father the blade of Bacca's sword, it gives him the right to challenge Chuundar for leadership.
* LesCollaborateurs: He's aiding Czerka Corp in their occupation of his planet, selling his fellow Wookiees into slavery all so he can have power as Chieftain.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He adopts a friendly front to manipulate others but in reality he's a selfish sociopath.
* IllTakeThatAsACompliment: Calling him a hairy Hutt just has him say he's heard of Hutts, and they sound like they have good business sense.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The only person Chuundar cares about is himself and he's willing to sacrifice his people and his family for his own benefit.
* KarmaHoudini: It's possible for Chuundar to get away with everything if the player convinces Zaalbar to side with him. By the end of the quest, he'll still be Chieftain, his father will be dead, his brother manipulated to his side, and his people will still be oblivious that he's selling them into slavery.
* LargeRunt: Zaalbar says he was the runt of their family, which Chuundar angrily protests, but even if it's true, Chuundar is still a Wookiee and still tall and imposing.
* ManipulativeBastard: Chuundar is very good at deceiving others, manipulating his father into exiling his brother and tricking his fellow Wookiees into thinking he has their best interests at heart when he’s really selling them off into slavery. A few hours talking with him is all it takes for Zaalbar to begin doubting Chuundar's death is the best thing for Kashyyyk.
* {{Patricide}}: He attempted to personally murder his father when he began to interfere with his plans, and later attempts it by proxy, sending the player character to assassinate him. Whether the player agrees is up to them.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He paints his actions of seizing power and enslaving fellow Wookiees as a NecessaryEvil, rather than waging an unwinnable war against Czerka Corp. In reality, Chuundar only cares about gaining power for himself.
* RedemptionRejection: In spite of all his crimes, the player, Zaalbar and his father can all offer Chuundar the option of mercy and working things out nonviolently. If this attempt is made, Chuundar will reject their attempts to talk things out and orders everyone killed.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The fact that Chuundar is not just selling people into slavery, but his own kind, is a mark of how detestable he is.
* SmugSnake: Surprisingly for a Wookiee, Chuundar is incredibly slimy and arrogant in his scheming.
* TheSociopath: Chuundar has all the signs of a high-functioning one. He's superficially charming and a skilled manipulator, incapable of caring about other people, has no moral lines he won't cross, and feels no remorse for anything he does, whether it be selling his own people into slavery or trying to murder his family.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Chuundar is very popular among his people as Chieftain, because he's managed to deceive them into believing he's doing his best to save them from Czerka Corp. By the time a Wookiee finds out he's really selling them into slavery, it's usually too late.

[[folder:Dustil Onasi]]
!!Dustil Onasi
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonMarsden

Carth Onasi's son, who was presumed dead following the destruction of Telos.

* AntagonisticOffspring: Dustil is a Sith Academy student, which is at war with the Republic his father serves. Downplayed since, while cruel, he won’t sell Carth and the player out when he finds out they’ve infiltrated the Academy.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He'll abandon the Sith if you bring him proof that they really are as evil as everyone says. In this case, the proof is evidence that Master Uthar murdered his friend. He also doesn't sell out his father and the player when he finds out they've infiltrated the Academy.
* HeelFaceTurn: Though he's more misguided than evil, he'll turn against his Sith master when presented with proof of his evil.
* {{Jerkass}}: When first encountering him, Dustil is incredibly hostile towards his father and the player character. One below the belt comment has Dustil say Carth's wife was planning on leaving him.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Despite the Sith being ObviouslyEvil, Dustil joins them because he doesn't believe they're as bad as they're made out to be.
* TheyWereHoldingYouBack: Master Uthar murdered Dustil's friend, Selene, believing Dustil's affection for her was interfering with his promise. Proof of this is enough to get Dustil to abandon the Sith.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: According to Dustil, even when Carth wasn't off fighting, he still wasn't home often.

[[folder:Helena Shan]]
!!Helena Shan
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CarolynSeymour

The cold and estranged mother of Bastila Shan.

* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Bastila and her have a very shaky relationship, but Helena truly loves her daughter, and Bastila is horrified to discover that her mother really is dying. They can end Bastila's side quest on much better terms.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her interactions with her daughter consist primarily of passive-aggressive snark.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Towards her daughter. It's apparent where Bastila gets her frigidness from.
* GoldDigger: Bastila accuses Helena of giving her to the Jedi so she could manipulate her husband into going on more treasure hunts. The truth is much different, that her husband loved going on his hunts and she didn't want Bastila going along because it was too dangerous.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's an abrasive person, in particular towards her daughter, but also apparently to strangers as one customer leaving the cantina attests. She is a good person, however, as shown when she and Bastila reconcile.
* MommyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: She convinced her husband to give Bastila to the Jedi because she wanted her daughter to live a better life they did as treasure hunters barely hanging on and constantly on the move.
* ParentalAbonnement: Bastila accuses Helena of abandoning her by convincing her father to give her to the Jedi. Bastila's account isn't exactly unbiased.
* ParentsAsPeople: She's a flawed woman with a strained relationship with her daughter, but she does love her and want what's best for her.
* YouSeeImDying: She tells Bastila she's dying but it takes a while for Bastila to believe her.

[[folder:Griff Vao]]
!!Griff Vao
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobertAtkinDownes

The conman older brother of Mission, who raised her as a kid.

* AloofBigBrother: When Mission was old enough, he abandoned her on Taris to pursue his own ends.
* BigBrotherMentor: He raised Mission and taught her everything she knows.
* BrokenPedestal: Mission initially refuses to believe the brother she looked up to could've abandoned her without being manipulated into it. She eventually recognizes him for the deadbeat that he is.
* ConMan: Griff is a conman who's always working on his next get-rich-quick scheme.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Griff only cares about himself and how he profits.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not overtly, but it takes a special kind of douchebag to find out the kid sister he abandoned is still alive and then immediately try to hit her up for money after she saves his life.
* NeverMyFault: Lena says Griff blamed Mission for his lack of success on Taris, then began blaming her once he abandoned his sister.
* PetTheDog: Before running again when his latest scheme goes south, he leaves a message behind apologizing to Mission.
* PromotedToParent: He's Mission's older brother and was responsible for raising her when they were kids.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Griff abandons Tatooine before he can be killed by his Exchange contact for failing him.
* ShootTheShaggyDogStory: Even if you complete his task by giving him money as an investment and bring him Tach glands so he can make his Tarisian ale, Griff's scheme will still fail and he'll run before his Exchange contact can kill him.

[[folder:Jagi]]
!!Jagi
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CrispinFreeman

A soldier who served under Canderous in the Mandalorian Wars.

* ArcVillain: He's the main antagonist of Canderous's side quest.
* DuelToTheDeath: Jagi publically challenges Canderous to one to resolve their dispute.
* HonorBeforeReason: Instead of killing him, you can convince him that Canderous was right to abandon him and his men. Jagi then adheres to Mandalorian custom and kills himself rather than live dishonorably.
* ItsPersonal: He's after Canderous for the death of his comrades and his own near death.
* {{Revenge}}: His motive is to kill Canderous in revenge for leaving him and his comrades to die.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: You can convince him that Canderous made the right tactical decision to sacrifice him during the war, however, in order to preserve his honor after publically challenging Canderous, Jagi kills himself.
* WeHaveReserves: He doesn't hold to this mentality, instead he was a member of the "reserves" who survived and wants revenge on his commanding officer, Canderous.

[[folder:Xor]]
!!Xor
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NeilKaplan

A slaver with a connection to Juhani's past.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: For some reason, Xor is a human in the Xbox version of the game, but a Twi'lek in the PC version. Eventually his Twi'lek version was made canon. Becomes doubly odd with his dialogue insinuating the player feels the same way as he does about "lesser, nonhuman species."
* ArcVillain: He's the main antagonist of Juhani's side quest.
* CareerEndingInjury: He took wounds during the Battle of Cathar that prevented him from participating in combat.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when mortally wounded, he keeps insulting Juhani and daring her to kill him.
* FantasticRacism: Towards the Cathar, which he views as pets at best when they're enslaved, or animals to be put down. He went so far to fight in a battle that nearly rendered the species extinct, purely for the joy of it.
* ForTheEvulz: He flat-out admits he participated in the Battle of Cathar for the pleasure of watching their world burn.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: His attempts to enslave female Cathar and Juhani in particular have an uncomfortable sexual undertone.
* MuggingTheMonster: He tries to enslave Juhani just because she's a Cathar, even though she's also a Jedi.
* PsychoForHire: He admits that he didn't join the Mandalorians in their war because he shared their beliefs. He did it for fun.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Not only is he a war criminal, he's also a slaver who views the Cathar he owns as "pets" to be trained.
* StrikeMeDownWithAllYourHatred: After being mortally wounded, he tries to goad Juhani into giving into her anger and killing him. Whether Juhani gives into her anger or not is up to the player.
* YouKilledMyFather: Xor is the one who murdered Juhani's father.

[[folder:Sunry]]
!!Sunry
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FrankWelker

An old friend of Jolee Bindo’s who's been accused of murdering a Sith woman on Manaan.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Despite being a war hero for the Republic and presenting himself as a kindly man innocent of any wrongdoing, [[spoiler:it turns out not only was he cheating on his wife with a Sith, he really did commit the murder, and for a really petty motive.]]
* DatingCatwoman: Sunry is a Republic war hero who is rumored to have been having an affair with a Sith. By the time the player meets him, the Sith is dead and Sunry is imprisoned for her murder.
* FramingTheGuiltyParty: Investigating the murder reveals that the Sith are planting evidence of Sunry's guilt. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, they're doing that because they know Sunry did commit the murder and the Republic helped him cover it up.]]
* HandicappedBadass: Sunry claims he couldn't commit the crime because his wounds during the war rendered him crippled, but a lot of people note that Sunry's underselling his abilities to look more innocent. Many people still think he could've taken on a younger Dark Jedi, even with his injuries.
* HoneyTrap: Sunry claims that he was trying to turn Elassa into a double agent for the Republic. [[spoiler:It turns out later that he was lying. He really was just sleeping with her, but ended up killing her when he found out she was using him to get information about the Republic.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Sunry tells the player character that [[spoiler:if the truth of his guilt comes to light in court, it will hurt the Republic in the long run. The Selkath will fine the Republic more for kolto, putting more restrictions in place and damaging the war effort.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Even if the player knows Sunry is guilty, it's possible to get him off scot-free, retaining his war hero reputation, and remaining with the wife he cheated on.]] Jolee even lampshades it, asking the player if what they did feels like justice.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Sunry didn't [[spoiler:murder Elassa because she was a Sith spy and Dark Jedi, but because finding out she was just milking him for information hurt his pride.]] Jolee notices the distinction between killing a Sith in a fair fight and murdering one in their sleep.
* MayDecemberRomance: Sunry is much older than his presumed mistress, Elassa. He also looks much older than his wife does, though that could just be because of limited character models.
* OldFriend: He's presented as an old friend of Jolee’s who needs his help.
* RetiredBadass: Sunry is a former soldier of the Republic and renown as a war hero, even if he doesn't get up to much fighting nowadays. A lot of people have no problem thinking he could’ve taken out a much younger Dark Jedi, even with his injuries.
* WalkingSpoiler: Investigating Elassa's murder and discovering his guilt or innocence is the main mystery of his sidequest.
* YourCheatingHeart: Rumor has it that he was cheating on his wife with Elassa while he claims he was just trying to turn her into a spy for the Republic. [[spoiler:Turns out, he really was just sleeping with her.]]

[[folder:Rakata]]
!!The Rakata
A species of amphibian humanoids with tall craniums and two eyes on short stalks on each side of their heads, the Rakata were a very advanced race with a strong connection to The Force, who created the infamous Infinite Empire and ruled the Galaxy with an iron hand before their eventual downfall.
* AbusivePrecursors: ''So much''. After the Kwa granted them the ways to achieve space travel, the Rakata used them for less-than-noble goals, such as violently colonizing other planets and terraforming them to their own needs, while stripping them of their resources.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Long term use of the Dark Side of the Force made them cruel, arrogant and merciless. Even after the fall of their Empire, many modern-day Rakatas seek to return their species to its former glory by whatever means possible. On the other hand...
** TheAtoner: While most Rakata want to return to their glory, many others are ashamed of the atrocities their ancestors caused.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Rakatas can be blue, black, red or green.
* FishPeople: They are amphibian humanoids with some resemblance to the Mon Calamari.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Eventually, a plague caused the species to lose its connection with the Force, making them devolve into savage brutes which engaged in violent civil wars between each other, nearly driving them to the point of extinction.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Many modern Rakata are not fond of the actions of their ancestors and try their best to re-integrate into the greater galactic community.
* UncertainDoom: While Rakatas were believed to be extinct on their homeworld of Lehon, they have been sighted in many other places.
* ShroudedInMyth: Their actions and rule over the galaxy so many years ago left behind quite a great impact for the years to come.

* MartialPacifist: Even for a Jedi.

* ScrewDestiny: The Covenant insists that he's the bringer of doom because of their vision. He runs around trying to stop doom whenever he can (and doing a pretty fair job of it in some cases).
* SpannerInTheWorks: To Arkoh Adasca and Haazen.
* TheyDo: [[spoiler:Him and Jarael in the end.]]
* ThisLoserIsYou: Sort of. WordOfGod is that he's supposed to invoke a player in a video game (such as the original ''KOTOR'') struggling to learn the controls at first, but getting better with it over time.
* ThouShaltNotKill: And unlike a whole lotta other Jedi, he really won't.
* TookALevelInBadass: When he starts out, he's inept. Over the course of the series, he helps to bring down a Sith wannabe, a power mad weapons dealer, and a mad scientist. He also forms his own organization without his boss knowing about it.
* UnluckilyLucky: Zayne Carrick. The clumsiest, most unlucky Jedi of his generation, he manages to survive the massacre of his fellow Padawans by simple virtue of arriving late to the knighting ceremony made by their [[EvilMentor Evil Mentors]]. He runs away, [[SternChase pursued by said mentor Jedi]] under trumped-up charges of becoming Sith, and in trying to prove his innocence and [[SpannerInTheWorks raise hell on the masters' plans]] he runs into all kinds of problems involving the Mandalorians, the returning Sith, said mentors [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming more mustache-twirling evil from the stress]] and hundreds of relatively [[MunDanger mundane (yet hair-raising) problems]]. Despite all that, he doesn't die no matter how crazy things get, manages to kill anybody who threatens him, builds a reputation as a formidable warrior that helps him occasionally, and eventually gets the girl.

Gryph is a Snivvian conman who was Zayne's special nemesis, until the Padawan Massacre made him an outlaw as well. Labelled an accomplice, Gryph aided and protected Zayne at first to save his own skin, but he grew to care for the boy as a true friend.

Jarael is an Arkanian offshoot who helped Zayne and Gryph escape Taris. Though at first she didn't trust either of them, she gradually came to like and respect both fugitives from justice. She herself has a shadowed past with a gang of slavers called The Crucible. Jarael's main flaw is her hotheadeness, which tends to get her into situations that she can't fight her way out of.

* FauxActionGirl: After an initial showing as a powerful fighter who rescues Zayne, she gets captured and/or beaten with some regularity. Training with Alek helps her break out of it.

A crazed, but brilliant Arkanian Off-shoot that lives with Jarael on the Last Resort. Many years ago, he saved the girl from slavers, and she, in turn, has protected him from his own enemies as his mind begins to fade. Gryph comes to him with Zayne seeking help in escaping Taris, and after a series of escapades he decides to tag along and let them use his ship.

A binary loading droid used by the Taris Jedi to move heavy equipment. Some time before the comic began, he overheard the Conclave's plan to kill their Padawans, and was destroyed to cover it up. Camper winds up repairing him with a more advanced processor, granting him increased intelligence and an unstable personality, as he is now capable of understanding that his trusted master Lucien harmed him.

* BerserkButton: Lucien Draay. Zayne frequently motivates Elbee to do things by saying that it will give him a chance to get back at his former master.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: His increased intelligence has made him shy and unresponsive. This does not mean he won't punch you into orbit if you frighten or offend him.
* LonersAreFreaks: His quiet and unresponsive behavior tends to make the rest of the crew nervous. Somewhat justified, considering that his behavior is a result of a programming paradox causing his behavior core to malfunction unpredictably.

A Mandalorian Crusader who became notorious among his clan for finding ways to survive suicide missions -- something that's ''frowned upon'' in their society. This, combined with his outspoken belief that Mandalore the Ultimate's crusade is a wasted effort, made him something of a reviled figure to his fellow warriors. He meets the gang while on yet another suicide mission from Cassus Fett, and decides to go AWOL to avoid his leaders' wrath.

* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:he decides to go off on his own, hoping to discover the true reason that Mandalore the Ultimate started the war.]]
* CulturedWarrior: They don't call him "The Questioner" for nothing. He has a deep respect for his people's traditions, even more so than his fellow clansmen.
* MeaningfulName: His name was chosen as a reference to the knight Roland, commander in UsefulNotes/{{Charlemagne}}'s army and protagonist of the medieval epic ''Literature/TheSongOfRoland''.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Unlike most of his fellow Crusaders, Rohan believes that the Mandalorian CodeOfHonor is more important than following Mandalore's commands, causing him to butt heads with other warriors and earning him the title of "The Questioner."
* ProperlyParanoid: As time goes on, he begins to suspect that Mandalore the Ultimate had some sort of ulterior motive for starting the war, or was manipulated into it. It wasn't confirmed until [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic much later]], but he was ''right'' - [[spoiler:the Mandalorian Wars and the subsequent Jedi Civil War were all part of a XanatosGambit by the Sith Emperor.]]
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Even more so than the rest of his people - he is one of the few people in the clans that holds their people's traditions above the will of their new Mandalore, and considers those that don't dishonorable.

->"If we cannot change what others will do in the future, we can change what we do. We can choose a different role. We cannot avert the prophesied doom — but we can survive it. And we will survive. We are few, but the Jedi ways will go on after the tribulations come. I know this because I am the son of Krynda and Barrison Draay — and at last, I can see my future."

Lucien is the son of the great Jedi masters Barrison and Krynda Draay, and is determined to live up to their legacy and prevent the return of the Sith — at any cost. Guided by apocalyptic visions of the future, Lucien has killed or otherwise wronged hundreds in his quest to vanquish the darkness [[spoiler:exactly as his TreacherousAdvisor Haazen intended]]. Above all else, though, he desires something he can never have — the approval of his dead father and reclusive mother.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Somewhat subverted: he's an aristocrat and an antagonist, but the two roles aren't really connected, and he's a hero in his own mind.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* TheDragon: To his mother, or so he thinks. Really TheDragon to [[spoiler:Haazen]].
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: In his desire to prevent Zayne from becoming a Sith, Lucien does a whole lot of things that you would expect out of a Sith.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:He stops just before he hits bottom — barely.]]
* KnightTemplar: Best illustrated when Lucien says Zayne is a failure as a Jedi for being unwilling to kill an innocent for the greater good.
* LightIsNotGood: His name is ''Lucien'' and he wears all white.
* MentorMole: Betrays Zayne and keeps trying to kill him throughout.

One of the masters of Taris. She suffers nightmares due to a lack of friends to help her and her own guilt. She believes that killing Zayne is the only way to stop her nightmares, so she tries to kill him. She hires mercenaries to kill his family and then manipulates his ex-girlfriend to try and do the deed. Her plans go to hell during her battle with Zayne, and when she finally realizes her mistake, Tey's killed in an explosion.

* AxCrazy: By the time Zayne returns to Taris, Raana has lost it completely and doesn't care who else she has to cut down to get him.
* BadDreams: Her Force visions take the form of vicious nightmares that keep her from getting more than an hour of sleep each night.
* BloodKnight: She's particularly violent and eager to fight.
* HairTriggerTemper: Even before her SanitySlippage later, she's quick to anger.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Raana, you might not want to rant about your crime when the girl you've deceived into helping you is in the room, especially when she has a functioning lightsaber.]]
* KnightTemplar: As soon as they have a vision with someone in a face-concealing spacesuit used by their Padawans, Raana says they should kill them all.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Realizes that she was in the wrong moments before she's killed.

* VillainousBreakdown: Experiences this over the course of Issue 24, culminating to the point where her own rage and anger are all that's keeping her from dying.
* VillainousBSOD: When Zayne tries to save her life even after everything she's done, which forces Raana to realize how despicable she is in comparison.

Q'Anilia is a Miraluka, and even for that species is a powerful seer. She believes very strongly in the prophecies they have, seeing them as infallible and inevitable, and in that way blinds herself to other possibilities. Although she cared about her Padawan, Shad Jelavan, she doesn't speak against the murder because she thinks averting the prophecy is more important.

* BlindSeer: Like all Miraluka. She's later described as "the seer who stands in darkness" because of her despair and her unwillingness to find an original path.
* CallForward: One of her visions includes Darth Vadar.
* DespairEventHorizon: The longer Krynda refuses to see her and the further the Covenant's prophecy plays out, the more desperate and despairing Q'Anilia becomes. [[spoiler:When she finds Krynda "dead", she goes over the edge.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Finding Krynda "lifeless" in a coffin is the last straw for Q'Analia, and she takes poison to join her master. Then she learns that it was really a stasis oubliette, although as it turns out Krynda had only minutes left anyway.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She believed that Gryph would definitely betray Zayne even as he persistently didn't, and bought Zayne's vengeful "prophecy" hook, line, and sinker. As Gryph said, anyone who believed Zayne would hunt down ''anyone'' for {{Revenge}} didn't know him at all.
* KnightTemplar: She liked Shad, but she also thought it was necessary to kill him and didn't hesitate.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When she realizes she and the others murdered their Padawans for nothing.]]
* NumberTwo: The second-in-command of the Jedi Covenant due to her strength and skill in prophecy.

The most reluctant member of the conspiracy against Zayne. Xamar argued against killing the Padawans, and though he ultimately partook in the crime it never sat easy with him. He remains a cautious participant in the Covenant, clashing with Lucien and the others' demands for extreme measures.

* AcePilot: He's an excellent pilot, having served with his homeworld's navy for a time.

* SecretPolice
* SnakeTalk: Probably because of all those tentacles on his face.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's the most reluctant to kill the Padawans and advocates waiting as long as possible, saying that they should contact the Council about their vision before acting. He still does it in the end, but murdering his student clearly affects him more than the others.

A Feeorian, Feln is huge and powerful. He holds the position of the Exalted among his home village, which he's happy to use for the Covenant's benefit while neglecting their needs. He and Raana Tey are the quickest to violence.

* TheBrute: He's the biggest and most imposing of the Covenant.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's callous and indifferent to the struggles of his home village, even though he's their leader, and lets it fall into disrepair while profaning the holy site by using it for ArtifactOfDoom storage.

* GreenEyedMonster: When the Sith asked him what he wanted, his answer was Barrison's life and everything in it.
* TheManBehindTheMan: He manages the Draay estate and its wealth, which basically keeps the Jedi covenant going.
* ManipulativeBastard: Plays the Covenant like a fiddle, manipulates Lucien, and tries to manipulate Zayne too.
* NotSoDifferent: To Zayne, both of them having been inept Padawans and best friends with the most talented one in the group. The difference is that Haazen took it for granted that he would succeed, while Zayne accepted his likely failure.

Demagol, aka Antos Wyrick, is a Mandalorian mad scientist who is obsessed with finding the secrets of the Force so that he can replicate it or neutralize it. He also trained Jarael, and several other Force-sensitive children as part of a super soldier project, but lost everything when the Crucible abducted his charges and burned his lab to the ground.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He summons a lightsaber to kill Chantique. Unfortunately, it's a double bladed one. When he switches it on, he impales them both.]]
* LegendaryInTheSequel: His atrocities become so despised by the Mandalorians that later generations introduce the word ''demagolka'', derived from his name and meaning "someone who commits atrocities" or "war criminal", to the Mando'a language.

Lord Adasca is the ruler of Arkania and head of Adascorp, and his pleasant exterior masks the soul of a snake. He desires two things: to "purify" the Arkanian race of "corrupt" offshoots like Jarael, and to raise his homeworld's glory beyond anything his ancestors could have dreamed of. A power unto himself, Adasca offers his services to the Republic and Mandalorians alike, so long as he comes out ahead in the bargain.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Eighth lord of House Adasca, heir to one of the planet's great industrial dynasties, one hundred percent bastard.
* BlankWhiteEyes: As a full-blooded Arkanian.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/537aaa78f06df5097616bff70fba1d0a.jpg]]

The warrior-king of the Mandalorian clans who, like many before him, gave up his old name to become Mandalore -- "The One Ruler" in Mando'a. A proud, savage warrior who follows no code of honor but his own, he dreams of nothing less than complete domination of the galaxy. He is one of the most deadly hand-to-hand combatants in the galaxy, surpassing even many Jedi. Sectarian conflicts between the Jedi and the Sith matter little to him: so far as he is concerned, all sorcerers with lightsabers are fair game.

* AnAxeToGrind: He has a giant war axe made out of the remains of the ''Courageous,'' a famed Republic warship.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: This is standard procedure for the Mandalorians, and given that he's their warrior-king, that makes him the [[BuffySpeak Asskicking-est]] of them all.
* EvilOverlord
* TheFaceless: Never seen without his mask though it's implied that the [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/9e/Mandalorian.png/revision/latest?cb=20100207074421 Taung]] in ''Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War 6: Dark Lord'' who obtained Mandalore the Indomitable's mask is Mandalore the Ultimate.
* TheMagnificent: As is standard procedure for the various Mandalores, to he takes an epithet to distinguish him from past and future bearers of the name.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: He is never seen without his masked combat helmet.
* OminousOperaCape
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Upon dying, he tells Revan that he and his people were tricked into starting a war they were never supposed to win under the false promise of glory and victory. By whom? None other than the [[Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Sith Empire.]]]]

!!Cassus Fett
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f9b8f3216f5eb8eadce00c576f7ab58a.jpg]]

Field Marshal of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, Cassus' brilliant tactical mind has proven one of Mandalore's biggest assets, earning him his high rank and position as Mandalore's aide-de-camp. Cassus is a bit of a cipher even to his fellow warriors (even the notoriously inscrutable Demagol noted in his journal he had no idea how Fett's mind worked), but everyone knows this man is a force to be reckoned with.

* BadassCape
* CombatPragmatist: Rather than army-to-army fighting, Cassus' preferred tactic is to nuke things from orbit whenever he can.
* TheDragon: To Mandalore.
* EnemyMine: He and Zayne work together on at least two occasions to deal with a mutual threat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As ruthless as he was, even he found Demagol repulsive.
* TheFaceless: Like his boss, all we've ever seen of him is his helmet's visor.
* FriendlyEnemy: Downplayed. While he's appreciative and somewhat cordial to Zayne when they [[EnemyMine work together]], he still makes it very clear that he'd love a chance to kill him.
* FourStarBadass: Seriously, the man can be badass even when standing behind a hologram directing traffic.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Mandalore's aide-de-camp and general right-hand-man, seems to be the brains of the Mandalorian Empire- it's heavily implied that his eye for tactics and logistics is what has enabled most of their victories so far.
* KickTheDog: He ordered the genocide of the Cathar race and killed an [[NoNameGiven unidentified]] Mandalorian female[[note]]the original owner of Revan's mask[[/note]] who protested against this decision causing Revan to vow for revenge against the Mandalorians.
-->'''Mandalorian female''': "Cassus—wait! They're defeated! We don't have to do this!"
-->'''Cassus Fett''': "The Cathar left a stain of dishonor amongst the Mando'ade. Today, I wash it clean in the waters of their own presumption. But if you truly feel they need a defender to stand with them—then do so, warrior. I salute you."
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If he hadn't slaughtered the Cathars and killed the Mandalorian Woman that defended the Cathars, Revan wouldn't be so determined to defeat the Mandalorians.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Although he's less concerned with honorable combat than most.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Mandalore the Ultimate, at least -- he at least understands that there's more to war than slaughtering the enemy, and that it's sometimes worth it to cooperate with your foes.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: When Zayne warns him of the Rakghoul outbreak on Jebble, he nukes the site from orbit rather than evacuating surviving uninfected warriors and thanks him for letting him know. Zayne is not happy.

Chantique is the Magister Impressor of the Crucible, a slaving guild that uses training methods to turn people into amoral killing machines. She has a nihilistic view of the world due to being sold into slavery by her own father, as well as getting stabbed in the back both figuratively and literaly by Jarael. Now she is determined to make Jarael suffer in anyway possible, mainly through torturing Zayne Carrick.

* AxCrazy
* DarkActionGirl: She survived the fighting pits as a child and is a dangerous combatant, although it's her manipulation that causes the most trouble.
* FacialMarkings: They indicate that she's a slaver with the Crucible.
* FauxAffablyEvil: The entire time she's screwing with Zayne she's all smiles, and acting as cheerfully as possible. She even puts her arm around his shoulder and gives him a drink at one point.
* FreudianExcuse: Her Father sold her into slavery and Jarael impaled her through the back.
* ManipulativeBastard: To Zayne Carrick.
* MindRape: To Zayne.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Her usual outfits cross this with LeotardOfPower.
* ShadowArchetype: She's essentially everything that Jarael would have become if she hadn't been saved by Camper.
* TragicVillain: She's a completely awful person, but considering her father's abandonment, being enslaved, and then [[spoiler:having self-trained Force powers]], she is a little pitiable.
* TheVamp: This is the [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] of Zeltrons, and she acts very seductive towards Zayne while trying to break him.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shel.jpg]]

Shel is Zayne's ex-girlfriend. Their relationship hits a massive snag when Zayne is accused of murder (her brother was one of the victims.) She is manipulated by Raana into trying to kill Zayne but after two failed attempts (the first due to a combination of Del Moomo's stupidity and Gryph's quick thinking, and the second due to Zayne having an emotional breakdown about her brother's death causing her to loose the will to do it), she learns that Zayne is actually innocent and saves his life. Later on they patch things up and are co-running an organization to help fugitives.

* AxCrazy
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Zayne.
* BreakTheCutie: When she first appears she's apparently quite happy. Flash forward 22 issues later and she's practically homicidal.
* CoolBigSis: Is a senatorial aide, and knows how to set up an organization. Is also rather… attractive.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She fails to realize that Raana is insane, a liar, and a murderer despite rather obvious evidence (advocating murder, inconsistent behavior, her reaction to Zayne's accusations). Even though she starts to have doubts she isn't fully convinced until after she hears Raana confess to the crime in a moment of insanity.
* [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone My God What Did I Almost Do]]: When she learns that Zayne actually is innocent after she put a bounty on his head and nearly killed him herself, she just breaks down crying while hugging him.

* ChainmailBikini: Not as {{egregious}} as some instances, but her armor doesn't reach her waistline and is exposed near the collar. Jarael complains about the chill when she poses as Celeste later.
* DemonicPossession: The amulet that grabs onto her neck contains the malevolent ghost of an ancient Sith lord, and it's a constant struggle to keep him at bay.

A species of amphibian humanoids with tall craniums and two eyes on short stalks on each side of their heads, the Rakata were a very advanced race with a strong connection to The Force, who created the infamous Infinite Empire and ruled the Galaxy with an iron hand before their eventual downfall.
* AbusivePrecursors: ''So much''. After the Kwa granted them the ways to achieve space travel, the Rakata used them for less-than-noble goals, such as violently colonizing other planets and terraforming them to their own needs, while stripping them of their resources.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Long term use of the Dark Side of the Force made them cruel, arrogant and merciless. Even after the fall of their Empire, many modern-day Rakatas seek to return their species to its former glory by whatever means possible. On the other hand...
** TheAtoner: While most Rakata want to return to their glory, many others are ashamed of the atrocities their ancestors caused.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Rakatas can be blue, black, red or green.
* FishPeople: They are amphibian humanoids with some resemblance to the Mon Calamari.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Eventually, a plague caused the species to lose its connection with the Force, making them devolve into savage brutes which engaged in violent civil wars between each other, nearly driving them to the point of extinction.

Zayne is nicknamed "the worst padawan in Jedi history" due to his terrible luck and lack of anything resembling combat ability. Framed for the murder of his fellow students (which was really comitted by his KnightTemplar master), Zayne winds up on the run, trying to clear his name and expose the mysterious Jedi Covenant, while crossing paths with various significant figures of his era.

* BornLucky
** [[spoiler:WindsOfDestinyChange: His explicit power, although he only learns about it very late in the story.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Twice first due to the massacre than with Chantique.
* ButtMonkey: He says this while climbing out of a vat of industrial sludge.
-->The Force wants me alive — it doesn't want me ''happy'', but it wants me alive.
* ClearMyName: His first major character arc, twice over. First he has to clear himself of the murder of his fellow padawans, and on the side he has to prove that he isn't the Sith his masters foresaw.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: [[WordOfGod Artist Dustin Weaver]] admits he bases the appearance of Zayne on a young Creator/ChristianSlater.
* DeadpanSnarker
* FireForgedFriends
* FiveStagesOfGrief: WordOfGod says he more or less goes through one per issue starting with 2.
* GuileHero: Develops into one under Gryph's tutelage.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He's probably the most Jedi-like Jedi on Taris--and anywhere he goes to escape the Covenant--but he just can't shake that supposedly-killed-his-classmates thing.
* KnightErrant: [[spoiler: Refuses a promotion to Jedi Knight in order to be a "Jedi of the people".]]
* MartialPacifist: Even for a Jedi.
* NiceGuy: He does his best never to hurt anyone and stops to help wherever he can. Even before the whole mess starts, he's resigned without resentment to the fact that all his friends are better than him.
* ScrewDestiny: The Covenant insists that he's the bringer of doom because of their vision. He runs around trying to stop doom whenever he can (and doing a pretty fair job of it in some cases).
* SpannerInTheWorks: To Arkoh Adasca and Haazen.
* TheyDo: [[spoiler:Him and Jarael in the end.]]
* ThisLoserIsYou: Sort of. WordOfGod is that he's supposed to invoke a player in a video game (such as the original ''KOTOR'') struggling to learn the controls at first, but getting better with it over time.
* ThouShaltNotKill: And unlike a whole lotta other Jedi, he really won't.
* TookALevelInBadass: When he starts out, he's inept. Over the course of the series, he helps to bring down a Sith wannabe, a power mad weapons dealer, and a mad scientist. He also forms his own organization without his boss knowing about it.
* UnluckilyLucky: Zayne Carrick. The clumsiest, most unlucky Jedi of his generation, he manages to survive the massacre of his fellow Padawans by simple virtue of arriving late to the knighting ceremony made by their [[EvilMentor Evil Mentors]]. He runs away, [[SternChase pursued by said mentor Jedi]] under trumped-up charges of becoming Sith, and in trying to prove his innocence and [[SpannerInTheWorks raise hell on the masters' plans]] he runs into all kinds of problems involving the Mandalorians, the returning Sith, said mentors [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming more mustache-twirling evil from the stress]] and hundreds of relatively [[MunDanger mundane (yet hair-raising) problems]]. Despite all that, he doesn't die no matter how crazy things get, manages to kill anybody who threatens him, builds a reputation as a formidable warrior that helps him occasionally, and eventually gets the girl.

Gryph is a Snivvian conman who was Zayne's special nemesis, until the Padawan Massacre made him an outlaw as well. Labelled an accomplice, Gryph aided and protected Zayne at first to save his own skin, but he grew to care for the boy as a true friend. He is quite clever, and is known for coming up with wild schemes that either go well, or spectacularly awry.

Jarael is an Arkanian offshoot who helped Zayne and Gryph escape Taris. Though at first she didn't trust either of them, she gradually came to like and respect both fugitives from justice. She herself has a shadowed past with a gang of slavers called The Crucible. Jarael's main flaw is her hotheadeness, which tends to get her into situations that she can't fight her way out of.

* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Zayne Carrick. Zayne's other love interest Shel is the Betty. She herself is the Archie to Alek's Veronica and Zayne's Betty.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She was genetically engineered, then she was a slave, then she was a slave''r''.]]

* FacialMarkings: They mark her out as a former member of [[spoiler:the Crucible, a horrific slaving ring. But what the specific markings mean is ''protector''.]]
* FauxActionGirl: After an initial showing as a powerful fighter who rescues Zayne, she gets captured and/or beaten with some regularity. Training with Alek helps her break out of it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's mistrustful and tries to get rid of Zayne and Grpyh at any opportunity early on, but it's for the sake of protecting Camper. Later she befriends them completely.

A binary loading droid used by the Taris Jedi to move heavy equipment. Some time before the comic began, he overheard the Conclave's plan to kill their Padawans, and was destroyed to cover it up. Camper winds up repairing him with a more advanced processor, granting him increased intelligence and an unstable personality, as he is now capable of understanding that his trusted master Lucien harmed him.

* BerserkButton: Lucien Draay. Zayne frequently motivates Elbee to do things by saying that it will give him a chance to get back at his former master.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: His increased intelligence has made him shy and unresponsive. This does not mean he won't punch you into orbit if you frighten or offend him.
* LonersAreFreaks: His quiet and unresponsive behavior tends to make the rest of the crew nervous. Somewhat justified, considering that his behavior is a result of a programming paradox causing his behavior core to malfunction unpredictably.

A Mandalorian Crusader who became notorious among his clan for finding ways to survive suicide missions -- something that's ''frowned upon'' in their society. This, combined with his outspoken belief that Mandalore the Ultimate's crusade is a wasted effort, made him something of a reviled figure to his fellow warriors. He meets the gang while on yet another suicide mission from Cassus Fett, and decides to go AWOL to avoid his leaders' wrath.

* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:he decides to go off on his own, hoping to discover the true reason that Mandalore the Ultimate started the war.]]
* CulturedWarrior: They don't call him "The Questioner" for nothing. He has a deep respect for his people's traditions, even more so than his fellow clansmen.
* MeaningfulName: His name was chosen as a reference to the knight Roland, commander in UsefulNotes/{{Charlemagne}}'s army and protagonist of the medieval epic ''Literature/TheSongOfRoland''.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Unlike most of his fellow Crusaders, Rohan believes that the Mandalorian CodeOfHonor is more important than following Mandalore's commands, causing him to butt heads with other warriors and earning him the title of "The Questioner."
* ProperlyParanoid: As time goes on, he begins to suspect that Mandalore the Ultimate had some sort of ulterior motive for starting the war, or was manipulated into it. It wasn't confirmed until [[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic much later]], but he was ''right'' - [[spoiler:the Mandalorian Wars and the subsequent Jedi Civil War were all part of a XanatosGambit by the Sith Emperor.]]

Lucien is the son of the great Jedi masters Barrison and Krynda Draay, and is determined to live up to their legacy and prevent the return of the Sith — at any cost. Guided by apocalyptic visions of the future, Lucien has killed or otherwise wronged hundreds in his quest to vanquish the darkness [[spoiler:exactly as his TreacherousAdvisor Haazen intended]].

One of the masters of Taris. She suffers nightmares due to a lack of friends to help her and her own guilt. She believes that killing Zayne is the only way to stop her nightmares, so she tries to kill him. She hires mercenaries to kill his family and then manipulates his ex-girlfriend to try and do the deed. Her plans go to hell during her battle with Zayne, and when she finally realizes her mistake, Tey's killed in an explosion.

Q'Anilia is a Miraluka, and even for that species is a powerful seer. She believes very strongly in the prophecies they have, seeing them as infallible and inevitable, and in that way blinds herself to other possibilities. Although she cared about her Padawan, Shad Jelavan, she doesn't speak against the murder because she thinks averting the prophecy is more important.

The most reluctant member of the conspiracy against Zayne. Xamar argued against killing the Padawans, and though he ultimately partook in the crime it never sat easy with him. He remains a cautious participant in the Covenant, clashing with Lucien and the others' demands for extreme measures.

A Feeorian, Feln is huge and powerful. He holds the position of the Exalted among his home village, which he's happy to use for the Covenant's benefit while neglecting their needs. He and Raana Tey are the quickest to violence.

* TheBrute: He's the biggest and most imposing of the Covenant.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's callous and indifferent to the struggles of his home village, even though he's their leader, and lets it fall into disrepair while profaning the holy site by using it for ArtifactOfDoom storage.

Haazen is Lucien's mentor and aide-de-camp, the ultimate mastermind behind the Jedi Covenant. A dark mirror of Zayne Carrick, he was kicked out of the Jedi Order because of his ineptitude and has been consumed with bitterness and the desire for revenge. [[spoiler:As a result, he dabbled in Sith sorcery and manipulated Lucien into bringing about the events necessary for the destruction of the Jedi order and Haazen's ascent to the highest reaches of power]].

* ManipulativeBastard: Plays the Covenant like a fiddle, manipulates Lucien, and tries to manipulate Zayne too.

Demagol, aka Antos Wyrick, is a Mandalorian mad scientist who is obsessed with finding the secrets of the Force so that he can replicate it or neutralize it. He also trained Jarael, and several other Force-sensitive children as part of a super soldier project, but lost everything when the Crucible abducted his charges and burned his lab to the ground. He is a psychopath with no moral qualms, yet is a good manipulator, [[spoiler:passing himself off as Zayne's friend Rohlan for many months]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He summons a lightsaber to kill Chantique. Unfortunately, it's a double bladed one. When he switches it on, he impales them both.]]
* LegendaryInTheSequel: His atrocities become so despised by the Mandalorians that later generations introduce the word ''demagolka'', derived from his name and meaning "someone who commits atrocities" or "war criminal", to the Mando'a language. In the time of the Clone Wars, nearly four thousand years later, Kal Skirata compares Kaminoan scientist Ko Sai to Demagol.

Lord Adasca is the ruler of Arkania and head of Adascorp, and his pleasant exterior masks the soul of a snake. He desires two things: to "purify" the Arkanian race of "corrupt" offshoots like Jarael, and to raise his homeworld's glory beyond anything his ancestors could have dreamed of. A power unto himself, Adasca offers his services to the Republic and Mandalorians alike, so long as he comes out ahead in the bargain.

* AffablyEvil
* ArmsDealer: He plans to elevate Arkania's status by selling weapons to both sides.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Eighth lord of House Adasca, heir to one of the planet's great industrial dynasties, one hundred percent bastard.

* Hypocrite: See NotSoAboveItAll
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Every interaction with Jarael has this subtext.

!!Mandalore the Ultimate
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/537aaa78f06df5097616bff70fba1d0a.jpg]]

The warrior-king of the Mandalorian clans who, like many before him, gave up his old name to become Mandalore -- "The One Ruler" in Mando'a. A proud, savage warrior who follows no code of honor but his own, he dreams of nothing less than complete domination of the galaxy. He is one of the most deadly hand-to-hand combatants in the galaxy, surpassing even many Jedi. Sectarian conflicts between the Jedi and the Sith matter little to him: so far as he is concerned, all sorcerers with lightsabers are fair game.

* AnAxeToGrind: He has a giant war axe made out of the remains of the ''Courageous,'' a famed Republic warship.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: This is standard procedure for the Mandalorians, and given that he's their warrior-king, that makes him the [[BuffySpeak Asskicking-est]] of them all.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f9b8f3216f5eb8eadce00c576f7ab58a.jpg]]

Field Marshal of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, Cassus' brilliant tactical mind has proven one of Mandalore's biggest assets, earning him his high rank and position as Mandalore's aide-de-camp. Cassus is a bit of a cipher even to his fellow warriors (even the notoriously inscrutable Demagol noted in his journal he had no idea how Fett's mind worked), but everyone knows this man is a force to be reckoned with.

* BadassCape
* CombatPragmatist: Rather than army-to-army fighting, Cassus' preferred tactic is to nuke things from orbit whenever he can.
* TheDragon: To Mandalore.
* EnemyMine: He and Zayne work together on at least two occasions to deal with a mutual threat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As ruthless as he was, even he found Demagol repulsive.
* TheFaceless: Like his boss, all we've ever seen of him is his helmet's visor.
* FriendlyEnemy: Downplayed. While he's appreciative and somewhat cordial to Zayne when they [[EnemyMine work together]], he still makes it very clear that he'd love a chance to kill him.
* FourStarBadass: Seriously, the man can be badass even when standing behind a hologram directing traffic.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Mandalore's aide-de-camp and general right-hand-man, seems to be the brains of the Mandalorian Empire- it's heavily implied that his eye for tactics and logistics is what has enabled most of their victories so far.
* KickTheDog: He ordered the genocide of the Cathar race and killed an [[NoNameGiven unidentified]] Mandalorian female[[note]]the original owner of Revan's mask[[/note]] who protested against this decision causing Revan to vow for revenge against the Mandalorians.
-->'''Mandalorian female''': "Cassus—wait! They're defeated! We don't have to do this!"
-->'''Cassus Fett''': "The Cathar left a stain of dishonor amongst the Mando'ade. Today, I wash it clean in the waters of their own presumption. But if you truly feel they need a defender to stand with them—then do so, warrior. I salute you."
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If he hadn't slaughtered the Cathars and killed the Mandalorian Woman that defended the Cathars, Revan wouldn't be so determined to defeat the Mandalorians.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Although he's less concerned with honorable combat than most.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Mandalore the Ultimate, at least -- he at least understands that there's more to war than slaughtering the enemy, and that it's sometimes worth it to cooperate with your foes.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: When Zayne warns him of the Rakghoul outbreak on Jebble, he nukes the site from orbit rather than evacuating surviving uninfected warriors and thanks him for letting him know. Zayne is not happy.

Chantique is the Magister Impressor of the Crucible, a slaving guild that uses training methods to turn people into amoral killing machines. She has a nihilistic view of the world due to being sold into slavery by her own father, as well as getting stabbed in the back both figuratively and literaly by Jarael.

Shel is Zayne's ex-girlfriend. Their relationship hits a massive snag when Zayne is accused of murder (her brother was one of the victims.) She is manipulated by Raana into trying to kill Zayne but after two failed attempts (the first due to a combination of Del Moomo's stupidity and Gryph's quick thinking, and the second due to Zayne having an emotional breakdown about her brother's death causing her to loose the will to do it), she learns that Zayne is actually innocent and saves his life.

Lucien is the son of the great Jedi masters Barrison and Krynda Draay, and is determined to live up to their legacy and prevent the return of the Sith — at any cost.
