| 15 | |
| 16 | The main character of the saga. Kyle started as an Imperial soldier before finding out that the Empire was behind the death of his father, [[HeelFaceTurn after which he defected and became a mercenary]] serving the Rebellion and later the New Republic against the Empire, especially when it came to tasks of infiltration and sabotage, as his inside knowledge of the layout of Imperial ships and bases gave him an advantage. In the second title, Kyle became a Jedi and was charged with the task of defending the legendary Valley of the Jedi on Rusaan. He appears as a NPC during the events of ''Jedi Academy''. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * AncestralWeapon: His trusty Bryar pistol, which was a gift from his father. |
| 19 | * AxCrazy: On the Dark Side route of ''Dark Forces II'', he can quickly gain Dark Side points by randomly slaughtering innocent civilians in Nar Shaddaa and Barons Hed. |
| 20 | * BadassNormal: In the first title, he managed to stop the Dark Troopers project without Force powers. And this is when he wasn't ''[[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dragon2.jpg punching out a Kell Dragon]]''. Though one can argue that the Force does enhance people subconsciously, so he might have simply been unwittingly channeling the Force. |
| 21 | * BadassTeacher: In ''Jedi Academy''. |
| 22 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: He can use Dark Side powers like Grip and Force Lightning, but is still on the side of good. |
| 23 | * BreakoutCharacter: One of the few video game characters to appear in the main ''Legends'' expanded universe and easily one of the most prominent of them. |
| 24 | * BroughtDownToNormal: After falling to the Dark Side in ''Mysteries of the Sith'' and later (according to supplemental material) witnessing the Fall of Gantoris and Kyp Durron during his time at the Jedi Academy, he cuts himself off from the Force until ''Jedi Outcast'', where he powers himself back up to take on Desann. |
| 25 | * CombatPragmatist: |
| 26 | ** Being a Jedi doesn't stop him from carrying blasters, disruptor rifles and thermal detonators along with his lightsaber. Not to mention that he makes use of both Light and Dark Side powers. |
| 27 | ** [[spoiler:One of the moves he uses when you fight him in ''Academy'''s Dark Side ending is to use Force to simply take your Lightsaber away from your hands and beat you up afterwards.]] |
| 28 | * TheChosenOne: He, Jan, and as of ''Jedi Outcast'', Luke, are the only people who know the location of the Valley of the Jedi. |
| 29 | * DarkIsNotEvil: In spite of being on the light side, he has no qualms about using dark side powers, though he did fall once. |
| 30 | * DeadpanSnarker: Characters, situations, [[LampshadeHanging tropes]]... very little is safe from his snarking. |
| 31 | * DecoyProtagonist: In ''Mysteries Of The Sith'', he's playable in the first four levels. After that, the game switches over to Mara Jade. |
| 32 | * EmbarrassingNickname: He was called "Rimmer" during his time in the Imperial Academy in ''Soldier for the Empire'' since he was born in the Outer Rim. |
| 33 | * TheEmperor: In the Dark Side ending for ''Jedi Knight'', he uses the power of the Valley of the Jedi to conquer the galaxy. |
| 34 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: He was already a highly skilled former Imperial soldier turned mercenary. Notably in the first game, he ''punches a kell dragon to death''. And then he gets Force powers in the second game. |
| 35 | * EscortMission: In some areas of ''Jedi Academy''. Rather than guiding him to the next spot, you have to walk to the next objective while he calmly chops up every enemy in his path when he isn't dropping them into deep pits or using Force Lightning on Hazard Troopers. |
| 36 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: In the Dark Side ending of ''Dark Forces 2'', [[spoiler:he switches to a black cloak and gloves after becoming Emperor]]. |
| 37 | * EvilOverlord: [[spoiler:In the Dark Side ending of ''Dark Forces 2''.]] |
| 38 | * FaceHeelTurn: |
| 39 | ** In the Dark Side route of ''Dark Forces 2'', [[spoiler:he becomes an EvilOverlord]]. |
| 40 | ** In ''Mysteries of the Sith'', [[spoiler:he falls to the Dark Side and has to be brought back by Mara]]. |
| 41 | * FinalBoss: In the Dark Side ending of ''Academy'' and in ''Mysteries of the Sith'', although in the latter [[spoiler:you must unequip your lightsaber]]. |
| 42 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He's a kindhearted man who always tries to do the right thing. He is also one of the most skilled warriors in Luke's Jedi Order, and he will not hesitate to put you in your place if you threaten the galaxy. It's best shown during the final boss fight in ''Jedi Outcast''; [[spoiler:he honestly offers Desann a chance at redemption, and when Desann refuses to take it Kyle cuts him down without a second thought]]. |
| 43 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: His fist is his emergency weapon in the games, and he's ''required'' to use it to kill the first Kell dragon (and to some extent the next few, if he can't get his hands on a few thermal detonators). He also uses it during the dark-side ending boss fight with Jaden in ''Academy''. |
| 44 | * TheGunslinger: Before becoming a Jedi, he mainly used guns. |
| 45 | * HeroAntagonist: In the dark side route of ''Jedi Academy'', he is as heroic as he's ever ([[NoCanonForTheWicked canonically]]) been, and [[spoiler:he's the FinalBoss opposing a power-mad Jaden]]. |
| 46 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He seems to have somewhat of a problem with low self esteem. After ''Mysteries of the Sith'' and some offscreen time at the Jedi Academy, he cut himself off from the force, worried that he would not be able to resist the temptation of the Dark Side. At the end of ''Jedi Outcast'' he outright calls himself a failure as a Jedi. |
| 47 | * HiredGuns: He never really commits to the Rebel Alliance officially, preferring to work for them as a mercenary. [[AllThereInTheManual In the manual for the first game]], correspondence between Mon Mothma and Jan Ors shows Mon's concerns for Kyle's status as a mercenary. |
| 48 | * HopelessBossFight: |
| 49 | ** The second and last time he's fought in ''Mysteries of the Sith'', [[spoiler:he's a straight example; you have to SheatheYourSword to win]]. |
| 50 | ** The second time in ''Jedi Academy'' is an example in-story; [[spoiler:the best even power-mad dark side Jaden can do is slow him long enough to be able to run away.]] |
| 51 | * HyperspaceArsenal: He's somehow able to carry six different blasters (his trusty Bryar pistol, an E-11 blaster rifle, an Imperial repeater rifle, a Packered mortar gun, a Stouker concussion rifle and a Dark Trooper assault cannon), a Jeron fusion cutter and plenty of ammo for all seven weapons (well, six weapons and a repurposed mining tool), plus a supply of thermal detonators and I.M. mines, all at once. And that's just in the first game. The second retains the Bryar pistol, E-11 blaster rifle, Imperial repeater rifle and thermal detonators, but also gives him a lightsaber, sequencer charges (replacing the I.M. mines), bowcaster, rail detonator gun and a new model of concussion rifle, and ''Jedi Outcast'' retains his lightsaber, Bryar Pistol, E-11 blaster rifle and thermal detonators, but also gives him a stun baton, three other ranged weapons and two new varieties of explosives. He never has ''any'' trouble carrying around all this gear. |
| 52 | * ICanRuleAlone: [[spoiler:In the Dark Side route of ''Dark Forces 2'', he rejects Jerec in order to conquer the galaxy for himself.]] |
| 53 | * IconicItem: Not his lightsaber, lots of people have those. Rather, it's his Bryar pistol, a cut-down version of a Bryar ''rifle'' gifted to him by his father. |
| 54 | * InkSuitActor: His model in ''Dark Forces 2'' is designed to match his voice/FMV actor, Jason Court. His later appearances in ''Jedi Outcast'' and ''Jedi Academy'' have him resemble a slightly older Court. |
| 55 | * InstantExpert: Can deflect blaster bolts with a lightsaber as soon as he gets his hands on it, and masters the Force over a short enough period of time that he can defeat a gauntlet of Dark Jedi over an incredibly short span of time. He goes through this again in ''Outcast'', though that part is justified in that he'd already used the Force extensively before cutting himself off from it, and he reestablishes that connection by using the power of the Valley of the Jedi. Deconstructed in that he can (depending on the player) potentially fall to the Dark Side in ''Jedi Knight'', actually does so during ''Mysteries Of The Sith'', and only takes up his lightsaber and Force powers in ''Jedi Outcast'' out of vengeance. |
| 56 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: If he goes down the dark side route in ''Jedi Knight'', he suddenly goes from being [[MoodWhiplash overwhelmed with shock to utterly cold]] and kills [[spoiler: Jan]] immediately for no real reason other than it's what [[BigBad Jerec]] told him to do, despite not siding with him anyway. |
| 57 | * KickTheDog: At the alignment lock in ''Dark Forces 2'', if he falls to the Dark Side [[spoiler:he murders Jan in cold blood]]. |
| 58 | * LaserBlade: Started out with Qu Rahn's green lightsaber in ''Jedi Knight'', then a yellow one (courtesy of [[spoiler:Yun]]) which somehow changes to orange for ''Mysteries of the Sith'', and finally a blue one he built himself in ''Outcast'' and ''Academy''. |
| 59 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Kyle is in the habit of pointing out how unusual some of the things that happen to him are that only really make sense because he's a video game character. |
| 60 | * LimitedWardrobe: Seven years pass between ''Jedi Knight'' and ''Jedi Academy'', and he's ''still'' wearing the same shirt and leather guards. He does wear an entirely black outfit in ''Mysteries Of The Sith'' and there are several alternate multiplayer skins for him in ''Jedi Knight''. |
| 61 | * MadeOfIron: |
| 62 | ** Kyle survived being impaled by a lightsaber through the chest (and then having an infection get a hold of that wound) during the ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'' saga. |
| 63 | ** In a cutscene after level 1 of ''Jedi Knight'', he gets shot by a TIE Bomber. It doesn't leave much of a mark on him, and he still feels up to the task of going through another level barely a minute afterwards, though he ''does'' end up spending some time in the medbay of a New Republic ship after Jan gets him away from Nar Shaddaa. |
| 64 | * MagicKnight: Like all Jedi. Unlike most Jedi, however, he uses both light and dark side powers. |
| 65 | * MageMarksman: Combines Force powers, [[TheMusketeer swordsmanship]], and good old fashioned gunplay. |
| 66 | * ManlyFacialHair: By ''Jedi Knight'', he's grown a thick beard that serves to accentuate his development into one of the most skilled Jedi of his age in personal combat. As if that wasn't manly enough, one of his idle animations in ''Jedi Knight'' shows him using his lightsaber to trim it. |
| 67 | * MasterSwordsman: To the point he holds the title Jedi Battlemaster. Most obvious in ''Jedi Academy'' when Jaden fights alongside him. |
| 68 | * TheMusketeer: After becoming a Jedi, he continued using guns as necessary; excluding his later students, he's one of the only post-Empire Jedi in the entire series to do this. |
| 69 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He reacts with horror after [[spoiler: killing Maw in anger]]. |
| 70 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Outcast'', [[spoiler: he returns to the Valley of the Jedi in order to regain his powers to fight Desann. By doing so, he allowed Desann to follow him, reach the Valley and use the Force Nexus to power him up and create the Reborn.]] |
| 71 | * OneManArmy: The amount of enemies he hacks, blasts, and punches his way through over the course of the series is quite immense. Compared to the ''Film/RogueOne'' crew's ordeal and HeroicSacrifice in that film, Kyle steals the Death Star plans (or rather, a partial set of them, which will be combined with other sets) alone in about five minutes during ''the first mission of the first game''. |
| 72 | * PuzzleBoss: [[spoiler: Trying to defeat him in combat at the end of ''Mysteries of the Sith'' is pretty hopeless. However a hieroglyph on the wall of the boss room of a woman kneeling with her lightsaber deactivated on the ground in front of her provides a hint on how to win...]] |
| 73 | * TheRedMage: Can use powers from both sides of the Force. He's also skilled with a blaster, and continues to use them even as a Jedi. |
| 74 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When Desann and Tavion [[spoiler: apparently kill Jan]], he goes straight to the Valley of the Jedi to reconnect with the Force [[spoiler:just as Desann planned]] and then slaughters his way through a couple hundred thugs, stormtroopers, and Reborn to get his revenge. |
| 75 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:After ''Dark Forces II'', he and Jan are the only two living people in the galaxy who know the location of Ruusan and the Valley of the Jedi. After Jan supposedly dies and Kyle goes to avenge her death early in ''Jedi Outcast'', he gives Luke the planet's coordinates just in case.]] |
| 76 | * SheatheYourSword: In ''Mysteries of the Sith'', [[spoiler:this is how you beat him. Even the corrupted Kyle cannot bring himself to murder a defenseless Mara in cold blood.]] |
| 77 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: |
| 78 | ** During the events in ''Mysteries of the Sith'', he falls victim to the Dark Force Nexus in the Temple on Dromund Kaas. |
| 79 | ** In the Dark Side route in ''Jedi Knight'', he takes the power of the Valley of the Jedi for himself to become the new Emperor. |
| 80 | * TookALevelInBadass: He spends the first game and the first three levels of the second as an ordinary mercenary, if an extremely skilled one. Then he gets his claws on Rahn's old lightsaber and starts learning the ways of the Force, and he becomes unstoppable. |
| 81 | * TragicKeepsake: |
| 82 | ** His first lightsaber is inherited from his deceased father Morgan, which was given to him from Rahn. [[spoiler:His second lightsaber is taken from Yun after the latter sacrifices himself to save Kyle.]] |
| 83 | ** The holomessage from his father just before he went to the academy, since it was their last contact before Morgan's death. [[spoiler: In the dark side ending for ''Jedi Knight'', he crushes it under his boot.]] |
| 84 | ** His Bryar pistol was apparently inherited from his father as well, a rifle [[SawedOffShotgun cut down into a pistol]] and given as a going-away gift before he left for the academy. |

| 95 | |
| 96 | A space pilot and partner of Kyle Katarn. She helped him in many situations, including inspiring him to defect from the Empire. She's the only other person who knows the location of the Valley of The Jedi (at least, until Kyle eventually shares the information with Luke). |
| 97 | ---- |
| 98 | * ActionGirl: Handy with a blaster, and makes a good dogfighter. |
| 99 | * ArtificialLimbs: Her right hand is apparently a prosthetic. |
| 100 | * BigDamnHeroes: Her first appearance in ''Jedi Knight'' consists of her saving Kyle. |
| 101 | * DamselInDistress: Pretty much OncePerEpisode with her: |
| 102 | ** In ''Dark Forces'', Jabba the Hutt's goons capture her and Kyle has to bust her out. |
| 103 | ** In ''Jedi Knight'' she's captured by Jerec and kept as a hostage. |
| 104 | ** In ''Jedi Outcast'', [[BigBad Desann]] fakes her death to draw Kyle out and keeps her hostage. |
| 105 | * DemotedToExtra: She doesn't appear in person in ''Academy,'' only providing air support from her ship in one mission. |
| 106 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Desann pretends to murder her in order to provoke Kyle into returning to the Valley of the Jedi in ''Jedi Outcast''.]] |
| 107 | * GogglesDoNothing: She's generally depicted as wearing a pair of goggles on top of her head, though in her BigDamnHeroes moment in ''Jedi Knight'', she's actually wearing them at first. |
| 108 | * InkSuitActor: Like Kyle, she keeps her appearance (based on Angela Harry) from ''Jedi Knight'' into the later games. |
| 109 | * TheLancer: To Kyle. |
| 110 | * MissionControl: She gives Kyle his mission briefings in the first game. She also provides air support and transport. |
| 111 | * OfficialCouple: With Kyle, at least as of ''Jedi Knight II''. ''ComicBook/StarWarsTales'' shows them still together and talking about having kids during the Yuuzhan Vong war, although she repeatedly refuses his marriage proposals due to feeling that doing it because of the stress and threat of war is a bad reason. |
| 112 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Like Kyle, as of the end of ''Dark Forces II'', she's one of only two people in the galaxy who knows how to find Ruusan. The BigBad of ''Jedi Knight II'' makes use of this, kidnapping her to interrogate her on its location, while also faking her death in the hopes Kyle might unintentionally lead them there himself.]] |
| 113 | * SequelNonEntity: After being an important supporting character in ''Dark Forces'' and ''Jedi Knight'', Jan's completely absent from ''Mysteries of the Sith'', not being so much as mentioned. She's back for ''Jedi Outcast'' though. |
| 114 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:If you choose the Dark Side in ''Jedi Knight'', Kyle kills her when he finds out that she's been captured.]] |

| 120 | |
| 121 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Philip Tanzini (male), Creator/JenniferHale (female) |
| 122 | |
| 123 | Kyle's student and the main character of ''Jedi Academy'', Jaden is a youth full of talent from Coruscant who managed to build a lightsaber by himself. He's sent to Luke's Jedi Academy on Yavin in order to learn the ways of the Force. Players can choose different races and genders for Jaden, but canonically, he's a male human with a purple (later green) standard lightsaber. Jaden has since stared in two EU novels, ''Literature/{{Crosscurrent}}'' and ''Riptide'', set nearly 30 years after the game. |
| 124 | ---- |
| 125 | * TheAtoner: Following his actions during the Battle of Centerpoint, in which he ordered a deck be spaced to quickly clear his strike team a path even though there were civilians inside. He takes a leave of absence from the Jedi Order to sort everything out. |
| 126 | * BadassAdorable: A young kid who hacks and blasts his way through countless Sith cultists, Imperial fanatics, an ancient Sith Lord and [[spoiler: bests ''Kyle Katarn'' in a lightsaber duel in the Dark Side ending]]. |
| 127 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Like Kyle, he can learn both Light Side and Dark Side powers. However, Luke and Kyle will warn you if you focus only on Dark Side powers. In ''Crosscurrent'' and ''Riptide'' it's mentioned that he worries in particular about how easily he calls upon Force Lightning when under stress. |
| 128 | * ChildProdigy: Believe it or not, Jaden is canonically a ''teenager'' at the time of ''Jedi Academy'', yet builds two lightsabers, defeats a Sith cult, the Imperial remnant and makes years of progress in his fighting and Force prowess in a few weeks. |
| 129 | * CombatPragmatist: Just like his master, Jaden does things his way. When wielding a dual-bladed lightsaber, Jaden can even kick his adversaries while fighting. |
| 130 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as Kyle, but he does have his moments. |
| 131 | * DoubleWeapon: After his mission on Vjun, he can build a double-bladed lightsaber. |
| 132 | * DualWielding: He can learn this fighting style after Vjun. |
| 133 | * EvilIsHammy: If he falls to the Dark Side, he becomes extremely over-the-top. |
| 134 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If the player decides to kill Rosh, Jaden turns to the Dark Side.]] |
| 135 | * FeaturelessProtagonist: You can choose six different models (male and female human, male Kel-Dor, male Rodian, female Twi-lek and female Zabrak). |
| 136 | * {{Fingore}}: He loses three fingers in a lightsaber duel during ''Literature/{{Crosscurrent}}''. |
| 137 | * GoodPowersBadPeople: He can take Light Side powers yet pull a FaceHeelTurn and [[spoiler:become an aspiring galactic conqueror]]. |
| 138 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: If you choose Twi'lek. |
| 139 | * ICanRuleAlone: [[spoiler:In the Dark Side route, he rejects Tavion in order to conquer the galaxy for himself.]] |
| 140 | * IShouldHaveDoneThisYearsAgo: On the Dark Side route, [[spoiler:he declares that he should have killed Alora on Hoth. He proceeds to correct his previous mistake and destroy her.]] |
| 141 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:In the Dark Side ending. After killing Rosh out of anger, Jaden goes about cutting up Jedi and Sith alike, and collapses part of a temple on his master.]] |
| 142 | * LaserBlade: A customizable one at that! In canon, Jaden's first lightsaber had a purple blade, and his second one has a green blade. |
| 143 | * MsFanservice: Female Jaden, particularly as a Twi'lek. |
| 144 | * TheMusketeer: Like Kyle, he always at least takes his lightsaber and a DL-44 blaster pistol with him on missions, along with using various other guns he procures during them. |
| 145 | * TheRedMage: Like his mentor, he can freely choose powers from both sides of the Force. |
| 146 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Would you believe this guy is ''thirteen years old'' during the events of ''Jedi Academy''? |

| 157 | A Jedi knight killed by Jerec. His spirit guides Kyle during his journey to the Valley of the Jedi. |
| 158 | ---- |
| 159 | * BlackDudeDiesFirst: Dies in the intro cutscene, but returns as a Force Ghost to mentor Kyle. |
| 160 | * CoolOldGuy: He's mockingly derided by Jerec as an "old man" before he takes Yun's lightsaber and takes on all seven of the Dark Jedi at once, chopping Maw in half in the process. It's only when Jerec hits him with Force Destruction that he's taken down and even at that, he has to follow it up with a lightsaber slash. |
| 161 | * DoNotGoGentle: Despite his low chances of survival, he fought back all seven dark Jedi at once and even ''bisected Maw'' in a single blow. |
| 162 | * KnightTemplar: He absolutely ''loathes'' traitors to the Light, and has no faith in any Dark Jedi redeeming themselves. [[spoiler:A visit to Yoda and a dying vision of Anakin Skywalker sorted this out, to the point where he is able to guide Yun to redemption.]] |
| 163 | * MentorArchetype: To Kyle, albeit posthumously. Expanded universe materials reveal [[spoiler:he is also this to Yun]]. |

| 167 | * OldMaster: He's an old Jedi, skilled with his blade and strong with the Force who guides Kyle on the younger man's journey. |
| 168 | * ProperlyParanoid: Rahn refuses to let Morgan give him the coordinates to the Valley of the Jedi out of fear that the Empire will get them if he is captured while on Rebellion business, instead telling Morgan to hide them somewhere on his farm. These precautions delay Jerec finding Ruusan after he captures Rahn and allow Kyle to find them after Morgan's murder. |

| 191 | * ProperlyParanoid: Morgan is right to worry that the brutality of the Empire's attack is meant as much to draw out the rebels and wipe them out as it is to make way for new industry. However, the rebels won't stand by and let the Empire kill their neighbors, and Morgan ends up going with them. |

| 218 | * AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Where his lab is located, which spans an entire level, featuring large rooms and twisting passages. |
| 219 | * EvilGenius: A weapons maker in the Dark Trooper Project; the Repeater Rifle was one of his designs meant for the dark troopers before they went with something bigger. It also seems to double as an anti-Jedi weapon, as the secondary fire (which fires 3 simultaneous shots in a triangle pattern) is designed such that a Jedi would only be able to block 2 of the shots at once. |
| 220 | * MadScientist: Not so much in the science itself though. His weapons are pretty sensible and practical. But for reasons best known to himself he lives alone with droids and monsters in a sewer, which admittedly makes it pretty hard for enemy agents to find and get to him. |
| 221 | * ModestRoyalty: Moffs are effectively Imperial nobility. Rebus dresses in a dirty wifebeater and lives in a sewer. Based on the mission description, it's possible Moff is his actual first name, similar to people named Duke or Baron in the real world. |
| 222 | * ProperlyParanoid: Based in a sewer planet with plenty of droids, mercenaries and dianogas. [[OneManArmy It doesn't stop Kyle.]] |

| 234 | The BigBad of the first game and the man behind the Dark Trooper project. He fights Kyle on his ship using the Phase III Dark Trooper armor. |
| 235 | ---- |
| 236 | * {{BFG}}: Like the Phase II Dark Troopers, he carries a Dark Trooper Assault Cannon, the biggest gun in the game. |
| 237 | * BigBad: The lead villain of the first game. |
| 238 | * BloodKnight: One of the few officers who rejected the idea of the Death Star, as he believes they should fight the Rebels to the last man while seeing the use of a super laser as cowardly. He also expresses excitement when challenging Kyle to single combat. |
| 239 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: In the Star Wars card game Mohc suddenly [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/c0/Mohc_Star_Wars_TCG.png looks awfully similar]] to Creator/MichaelCaine. |
| 240 | * EvilGenius: He did come up with the idea of the Dark Trooper Project. |
| 241 | * EvilIsBigger: The Phase II Dark Troopers are already 9 feet tall. Mohc's Phase III exosuit is even bigger at about 10 feet tall, absolutely towering over Kyle in their duel. |
| 242 | * FinalBoss: Of the original game. |
| 243 | * GeneralRipper: Prides himself in creating a robotic army created to wipe out any Rebel force it comes across. |
| 244 | * HomingProjectile: In addition to the standard Dark Trooper {{BFG}} rifle, Mohc's Phase III armor also has shoulder-mounted launchers that fire a swarm of homing rockets at you. |
| 245 | * PoweredArmor: He wears the only suit of Phase III Dark Trooper armor to appear in the game. |
| 246 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Thanks to the Phase III Dark Trooper armor, he's the strongest enemy in the original game. |
| 247 | * StarterVillain: Retroactively has become this to the whole series. He's tougher than he looks but compared to the many Dark Side force users to follow he's nothing special. |

| 260 | -->--'''Rahn''' |
| 261 | |
| 262 | The youngest member of the Dark Jedi, an [[HumanAliens Epicanthix]] with a yellow lightsaber. Is fought by Kyle in Jerec's Palace at Barons Hed, but is spared. |
| 263 | ---- |
| 264 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He's pretty ambitious on his own. |
| 265 | * CantCatchUp: If you fight him a second time [[spoiler:on the Dark Side path]], he'll have twice as much health as before, but otherwise hasn't improved in any meaningful way and can be cut down quite easily. Even with boosted health he's still half as durable as Sariss, and a much less formidable duelist. |
| 266 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has bad dreams about his mother and sister, and cares about Sariss. |
| 267 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He's extremely puzzled when Kyle spares him after their fight. |
| 268 | * GoodPowersBadPeople: While a Dark Jedi, he only uses the Lightside powers Persuasion and Blinding in combat, as well as the Neutral power Force Jump. |
| 269 | * GoombaStomp: Occasionally uses Force Jump to leap high into the air and try to land on you with a lightsaber strike. |
| 270 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: If Kyle chooses the Light Side, Yun intercepts Sariss's attack at the cost of his own life, saying that as a Jedi Kyle deserves a battle (rather than an execution).]] |
| 271 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Get sliced by Sariss when he saves a weaponless Kyle, and gives him his own lightsaber.]] |
| 272 | * HumanAliens: While appearing human, he's actually an Epicanthix, an alien species with resistance to telepathy. |
| 273 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: He was seduced by [[FemmeFatale Sariss]] into killing his father and joining the Dark Jedi. |
| 274 | * MeaningfulName: Yun's name is pronounced like "young", and he's the youngest and least corrupted of the Dark Jedi. |
| 275 | * RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:On the Dark Side route, instead of fighting Sariss, Kyle corrects his previous mistake by dueling and killing Yun.]] |
| 276 | * TheSneakyGuy: His Force powers, Persuasion and Blinding, are all focused around becoming harder to detect while he attacks you, either by turning invisible or obstructing your vision. |
| 277 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:If Kyle falls to the Dark Side, a beefed-up Yun fights him in Sariss' place.]] |
| 278 | * WarmUpBoss: The first boss, and takes easily the least hits to beat. He's got nearly half as much health as the next few Dark Jedi you'll face and goes down in just a few successful heavy strikes. He's mostly there to get you used to lightsaber duel combat. |

Pic is the energy and Gorc the counter. They are the clashing balance of opposites, one the voice, the other the body. This combination is deadly.'' |
| 288 | -->--'''Rahn''' |
| 289 | |
| 290 | A Kowakian monkey-lizard who was sensitive to the Force even before being modified by Sith alchemy. He's a tiny Jedi warrior who's always seen with Gorc. He and his "brother" attack Kyle on the Sulon Star when he tries to recover 8t88's head. Wields an orange lightsaber. |
| 291 | |
| 292 | ---- |
| 293 | * DeadlyLunge: Can leap straight at you from long range with a jumping slice attack. |
| 294 | * DualBoss: He is fought alongside Gorc. |
| 295 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Cares deeply for his "brother", and didn't take it well that Kyle killed him. |
| 296 | * LightningBruiser: He's fast, as you'd expect for his size, and hits hard while taking more abuse than Yun. |
| 297 | * OddCouple: He and Gorc are also known as the Sith Brothers despite being of different species. |
| 298 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Being the size of a monkey doesn't make him any less of a threat. |
| 299 | * TheSneakyGuy: Uses Force Persuasion to turn invisible, which combined with his fast and aggressive combat style makes him quite dangerous. You can counter it with Force Seeing. |
| 300 | * UnwittingTestSubject: According to source books he and Gorc were altered by both the Sith sorcerer Cronal and Project Chubar from the ''Literature/XWingSeries'', the former causing the two to share DNA (which is why they consider one another "brothers") as well as altering their appearances, and the latter increasing their intelligence while bringing it more in line with human thinking patterns. |
| 301 | * VenturousSmuggler: The Empire first found him acting as the pet/co-pilot of a smuggler, Az-Iban. |

| 313 | |
| 314 | ---- |
| 315 | * {{BFS}}: Due to his immense stature, Gorc wields a [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightclub lightclub]], a massively oversized lightsaber with an overlong blade. While he has impressive reach, he doesn't actually do more damage than normal, unlike the later bosses whose lightsabers hit much harder despite being normal sized. |
| 316 | * BoomHeadshot: In the books only, Kyle disposed of him by shooting him in the head with his Bryar pistol. |
| 317 | * TheBrute: He is the largest of the Dark Jedi. |
| 318 | * CharacterAsHimself: Credited as this since Gorc has no lines. |

| 322 | * HiddenDepths: He's a highly skilled blacksmith who made his own armor. |
| 323 | * LaserBlade: His orange lightsaber, which is sometimes described as a light''club'' instead due to its sheer size. |
| 324 | * MightyGlacier: He's big and slow, but hits hard. |
| 325 | * PsychicStrangle: He's able to use Force Grip, letting him telekinetically strangle enemies. |
| 326 | * TheSpeechless: He never speaks in game. He speaks in the books though. |

| 336 | |
| 337 | ->''To the one called Maw; a bitter individual, who loathes all and holds loyalty to few. A strong and formidable foe, for every cord of muscle there is hatred. It is this hate that keeps his aging body strong.'' |
| 338 | -->--'''Rahn''' |
| 339 | |
| 340 | One of the vilest Dark Jedi, the Boltrunian known as Maw was cut in half by Rahn but managed to survive. He uses the Dark Side to float in the air and fights with a blood red lightsaber. He fights Kyle on Russaan and gets killed, almost pushing Kyle towards the Dark Side. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * DashAttack: If you get too far away from him, he'll occasionally charge at you and try to slam into you. |
| 343 | * EvilLaugh: He does this to goad Kyle into killing him. |
| 344 | * EvilOldFolks: Rahn's narration implies that Maw is on the older side, though age hasn't reduced his physical power thanks to ThePowerOfHate. |
| 345 | * EvilerThanThou: Albeit mainly as the result of a {{Retcon}}. The prequel trilogy establishes red lightsabers as linked to the worst of the dark side, and the corruption of the users (something which hadn't been established at the time of the ''Dark Forces'' games and novellas). Maw is the only one of Jerec's six followers to have a red lightsaber (albeit one with an orange tint to it); even Sariss's is blue. This, combined with his general personality, establishes him as the vilest one of the group, and the most in tune with the Dark Side. |
| 346 | * FaceHeelTurn: Supplemental material reveals that he used to be a particularly selfish member of the Jedi Shadows (an investigator corps who tried to wipe out all Dark Side artifacts) who was obsessed with rooting out darksiders, until Jerec manipulated him into turning to the dark side. |
| 347 | * GetBackHereBoss: After taking a couple of hits, he flees across his boss stage. He does this twice. |
| 348 | * GlassCannon: He's got pretty good offense, but in each phase he runs away after only a couple of successful heavy strikes, so that by his final phase it only takes a couple of heavy strikes to kill him. He's got a little more health than Gorc or Pic, but since this is divided between his 3 phases in each individual fight he can take even fewer hits than Yun. |
| 349 | * GoombaStomp: If you drop to the lower level in the second phase of the fight, he'll sometimes try to cannonball onto your head from above and deal damage. |
| 350 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He lost the lower half of his body courtesy of Rahn. |
| 351 | * KillHimAlready: He taunts Kyle into killing him and, unlike Yun and later Jerec, is successful. |
| 352 | * MindOverMatter: He uses Force Throw to toss debris laying around the area at you. |
| 353 | * PowerFloats: He flies around, implied to be powered by his own hatred. This makes him faster and more maneuverable than a bipedal opponent and also means he won't fall off ledges, which often comes up since he duels you on a narrow walkway at several points in the fight. |
| 354 | * ThePowerOfHate: He manages to survive getting ''sliced in half'' through nothing but sheer hatred. |
| 355 | * PsychicStrangle: He can use Force Grip to choke you out. |
| 356 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Ends up on the receiving end of one from Kyle when he tells him about Morgan's death. |
| 357 | * SpinAttack: Since he's a floating torso, he can do a 360 degree spin attack that deals double damage and can't be circle-strafed. |
| 358 | * TurnsRed: He becomes far more aggressive at the third stage of his boss fight, since he has nowhere left to run. |
| 359 | * WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: Uses this as his means of enticing Kyle to kill him. |

He was also a truly evil man, a fanatical nihilist who felt that Sariss' existence was a shocking offense to his beliefs. You can imagine how her childhood might have been like, what with the whole being raised in the dark side of the Force and all. That, and all the rape, of course. |
| 375 | * AscendedExtra: Retconned in 2005 to be a background character in ''Film/ANewHope''. One of the Star Wars RPG books even includes a picture of her in her robes from the first movie, wielding her lightsaber. One of the few characters to appear in another video game series due to the movie footage being used in ''VideoGame/RogueSquadron II'' or ''III''. |
| 376 | * DamageSpongeBoss: She's got more than twice as much health as any of the earlier Dark Jedi and takes 38 light strikes or 12 heavy strikes from your lightsaber to bring down. Even Boc isn't quite as durable as she is. |
| 377 | * DarkActionGirl: She was a formidable opponent in combat and was deemed the most skilled lightsaber duellist among the Dark Jedi, including Jerec. |
| 378 | * DeadlyGaze: She has the ability to use the ultimate Dark Side ability, Deadly Sight, on Kyle. |
| 379 | * TheDragon: To Jerec. [[spoiler:And then to Kyle in the Dark Side ending.]] |

| 381 | * FemmeFatale: How she was able to bring Yun into Jerec's group by using his infatuation for her. |
| 382 | * FortuneTeller: Sariss once worked with the governor of Tatooine around the same time the Death Star was completed, posing as a fortune teller to cover for her true job. She even called herself "Prophetess" during this time. |
| 383 | * MasterSwordswoman: A talented lightsaber combatant. In combat she forgoes the more gimmicky combat styles used by Gorc & Pic, Maw, and Boc, or the heavy usage of offensive Dark Side powers used by Boc and Jerec, and focuses more on straightforward swordplay. She usually only uses her Deadly Sight if Kyle gets too far away from her instead of dueling her at close range. Her lightsaber attacks also hit up to twice as hard as the earlier bosses and she's got nearly as much health as the FinalBoss. |
| 384 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the books she's stunned and shocked about [[spoiler:killing Yun]] and confused about what happened. In the game she's also visibly confused and upset when [[spoiler:Yun [[TakingTheBullet takes the strike]] meant for Kyle]]. |
| 385 | * ThePerfectionist: [[InformedAttribute According to Rahn, anyway.]] |
| 386 | * RapeAsBackstory: According to her backstory, Sariss was repeatedly abused by the Prophets of the Dark Side because her father allowed them to engage in "carnal relations" with her. [[ParentalIncest Her father even participated. Quite often.]] |

| 410 | * LargeHam: He makes Jerec look and sound subtle. |
| 411 | * LaughingMad: Disturbingly, his last few breaths before dying were laughs too. |

| 413 | * MindOverMatter: At close range he'll periodically use the Force to shove you back several feet. It's not as potent as Force Push from ''Jedi Outcast''[=/=]''Jedi Academy'' but it can be annoying. |

| 416 | * PreFinalBoss: You fight him immediately before the FinalBoss fight with Jerec, and his fighting style seems more based around dragging the fight out and delaying you rather than outright trying to overwhelm and kill you. |

| 433 | Jerec also had a cameo in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear: Spore'', where he attempted to use some [[SealedEvilInACan canned evil]]. |

| 441 | * CoolStarship: He's enough of a bigwig to have his own Super Star Destroyer, the [=ISS=] Vengeance, as his flagship. |
| 442 | * DamageSpongeBoss: Jerec takes ''a lot'' of hits to bring down. On Medium difficulty it takes 40 light strikes or 13 heavy strikes from your lightsaber to kill him, plus he'll periodically run off to use the Valley's power to heal himself. |
| 443 | * DeathFromAbove: He'll occasionally leap high into the air and rain down Force Destruction or Force Lightning on you. |
| 444 | * EvilIsAngular: In Galaxy of Fear he's described as being very thin, but apparently he bulks up in time to face Kyle. |
| 445 | * EvilIsHammy: The only time he has any restraint is a scene where he doesn't talk. |
| 446 | * EvilIsNotAToy: Let Spore loose on a Star Destroyer only to find that it didn't follow his directions at all. Fortunately for him, Jerec could protect himself from [[AssimilationPlot assimilation]] with the Force, but he lost a lot of resources to Spore. |
| 447 | * EvilOverlord: He intends to become the next Emperor. |
| 448 | * FacialMarkings: He has some thin lines on his face. This is not a trait of his species so they are presumably tattoos. |
| 449 | * FinalBoss: Kyle's final trial in ''Dark Forces II'' is a DuelToTheDeath with Jerec. He's got a ton of health (more than twice as much as Gorc & Pic or Maw), hits twice as hard as the first few Dark Jedi, and is the only Dark Jedi to really mix saber combat and Force powers at the same time. |
| 450 | * ForTheEvulz: He has Qu Rahn's fellow prisoners killed in front of him when they won't talk even though he's easily capable of simply using the Force to take the information from Rahn without having to bother with that. |
| 451 | * GodhoodSeeker: His final objective. He plans to absorb the powers of fallen Jedi that are stored in the Valley of the Jedi to make him a god. If Kyle takes too long to defeat him during his boss battle, he'll succeed, leading to a NonstandardGameOver. |
| 452 | * InformedAbility: Rahn states that one of his abilities is to be able to overshadow one's connection to the Force. This is not implemented in his boss fight. |
| 453 | * LargeHam: He's very dramatic in the cutscenes. |
| 454 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: He wanted the power of the Valley and ended up being part of it.]] |
| 455 | * PuzzleBoss: In a sense. Kyle has to periodically press two stone switches in order to stop a pair of statues from moving to the centre of the valley. If they both converge on the source, it's an instant NonstandardGameOver. |
| 456 | * ShockAndAwe: Uses Force Lightning with reckless abandon. He even casts it in close range lightsaber combat, while the other Dark Jedi usually only use their powers at a distance. |
| 457 | * TheStarscream: Supplemental material reveals that Jerec was originally a High Inquisitor who served Emperor Palpatine, but secretly plotted to supplant the latter as head of the Empire (which Palpatine was aware of and took steps to block). After Palpatine's death at Endor, Jerec set himself up as a warlord, intending to finally find the Valley of the Jedi and claim its power, a goal he retained even after learning Palpatine had returned via a clone body and falsely swearing allegiance to him again. |
| 458 | * StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: Attempted on Kyle, [[spoiler: who simply gave him back his lightsaber and kills him in a SingleStrokeBattle.]] |

| 465 | |
| 466 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Klastorin |
| 467 | |
| 468 | Former Jedi under Luke, is a powerful [[LizardFolk Chistori]] who turned to the Dark Side. He despises the weak, and plans to eradicate the Jedi once and for all. |
| 469 | ---- |
| 470 | * BadBoss: Implied to be prone to YouHaveFailedMe moments quite often. Kyle even tells Tavion to pray he finds Desann before Desann finds her. |
| 471 | * BigBad: Was this in ''Outcast''. |
| 472 | * {{BFS}}: His lightsaber is appropriate to his own size, but since he is about 7 feet tall that makes it much bigger than Kyle or Luke's. |
| 473 | * BondVillainStupidity: After the HopelessBossFight with him, he declares Kyle NotWorthKilling and spares him. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out that his entire plan was for Kyle to unwittingly lead him to the Valley of the Jedi so he can gain ultimate power for his army of Reborn, and while provoking Kyle into becoming a Jedi again does come back to bite him, he doesn't do anything to help Kyle beat him]]. |
| 474 | * CombatPragmatist: At one point near the end of the game, Kyle witnesses Desann and Luke fighting in the base of Cairn: rather than prolonging the duel or trying to finish Luke off, Desann disengages as soon as he can and drops a whole ceiling between the two of them before making a run for the ''Doomgiver''. |
| 475 | * CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to Kyle on Artus Prime. |
| 476 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Because of his unusual Force powers, he was mistreated and bullied as a child. |
| 477 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: When Kyle offers him redemption, Desann simply refuses and calls Kyle weak.]] |
| 478 | * EvilIsBigger: Desann is at least OneHeadTaller taller than other characters, though apparently this is a trait of his species rather than him personally. |
| 479 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Has the deepest voice among Kyle's other adversaries. |
| 480 | * FreudianExcuse: He was bullied for his powers as a child, leading him to become obsessed with power. |
| 481 | * HopelessBossFight: The first encounter with him, since Kyle cannot beat him without his Force powers. |
| 482 | * {{Jerkass}}: When he was a Jedi at the academy. |
| 483 | * MasterOfIllusion: Possibly; the lead-up to the final boss fight with him has Kyle distracted and led into traps by illusions, though whether it is Desann deliberately doing this or just an effect of the temple is unclear. |
| 484 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: In hindsight, it wasn't such a good idea to [[spoiler: falsely execute Jan, since Kyle became stronger than ever after visiting the Valley of the Jedi.]] |
| 485 | * NotWorthKilling: This is the reason he gives for not killing Kyle after the CurbStompBattle, [[spoiler: though actually it's because he needs Kyle to lead him to the Valley of the Jedi]]. |
| 486 | * OhCrap: A non-verbal one when he realizes that Kyle wasn't lying about the destruction of the ''Doomgiver''. |
| 487 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler: Kyle, in true Jedi fashion, offers Desann a chance to rejoin the Jedi. Desann, in typical Sith fashion, calls him a weak fool and attacks]]. |
| 488 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Desann is a towering brute with a T-rex-like head and has a strength-obsessed mentality which makes him really unpleasant. |
| 489 | * RushBoss: He hits fast and hard with his unique lightsaber style, but he doesn't have much more health than typical Reborn (he's got a little over twice as much health as a Shadowtrooper). The fight with him usually ends up with someone dead within 30 seconds. |
| 490 | * SavageSpikedWeapons: The lower tip of his lightsaber resembles a morningstar, and while he doesn't use it as such, he still has a very brutal MightMakesRight philosophy. |
| 491 | * SelfServingMemory: Has a small case of this during his his EvilGloating before the final battle with him. We know he's the one who ran away immediately after killing his sparring partner before Luke and the teachers could intervene and counsel him, so it's pretty rich of Desann to say that Jedi "scorned" him. |
| 492 | * SNKBoss: Uses a unique lightsaber style that does as much damage as the Strong Style while retaining the Medium style's speed, meaning his attacks are as fast a regular swing but can kill you in two to three swings. His Force powers are similarly broken. Tellingly, the final bosses of ''Jedi Academy'', while still very powerful, are at least relatively fair in terms of sticking to the established combat rules. |
| 493 | * TheSocialDarwinist: So much that he murdered his sparring partner in the Academy for being too weak. |
| 494 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Has one when he realizes that his plan has failed and that most of his Reborn were stopped, though he recovers from that pretty quickly. It's really Kyle offering him redemption that sends him into a murderous rage.]] |
| 495 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Makes this offer to Kyle at one point. [[spoiler: Kyle counters by offering him redemption.]] |
| 496 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He grew up on a ''very'' benighted backwoods world that knew nothing about the Force and thus thought his Force powers were evil and treated him like shit. Despite Luke and the other Jedi "adopting" him and trying to teach him to be a Jedi as well, he couldn't let go of his anger and eventually [[FaceHeelTurn turned to the Dark Side.]] |
| 497 | * WorthyOpponent: Sees Luke and later Kyle as this. |

| 505 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathSoucie |
| 506 | |
| 507 | A Dark Jedi serving Desann as his right hand woman. She's defeated by Kyle on Bespin and forced to escape. She reappears in ''Academy'' as the new BigBad. |
| 508 | ---- |
| 509 | * AintTooProudToBeg: Pleads for her life when Kyle defeats her. |
| 510 | * BerserkButton: When Jaden retorts that he heard from Kyle that she begged for mercy when defeated, Tavion reacts with a sudden, rage-filled shut up. |
| 511 | * ContractualBossImmunity: Actually averted in ''Jedi Academy'' when she's using the scepter's beam attack, as she can't deflect regular attacks with her lightsaber or Force powers while using the beam. |
| 512 | * CoolSword: [[spoiler: No, not her lightsaber: in the Light Side ending she's possessed by Marka Ragnos, and reveals that she can [[BifurcatedWeapon draw a metal longsword]] from the bottom of the scepter and wrap it in dark red energy.]] |
| 513 | * DarkActionGirl: She's a very skilled swordswoman and dark side user, though some of her behaviour is ruined by the fact that she's a coward at heart. |
| 514 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:In the Dark Side ending of ''Jedi Academy''.]] |
| 515 | -->'''Tavion''': I will... not cower as I did before Katarn. |
| 516 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: She's eventually possessed by Ragnos' ghost on the Light Side route of ''Jedi Academy''.]] |
| 517 | * DirtyCoward: She begs Kyle to let her go when she's defeated and openly admits that she's "not brave enough to die". By ''Academy'' she's gotten over this, [[spoiler: either sacrificing herself to resurrect Marka Ragnos in the Light Side ending, or stoically accepting her death at Jaden's hands in the Dark Side ending.]] |
| 518 | * TheDragon: To Desann, as his personal pupil. She's not very loyal, however. |
| 519 | * DragonAscendant: In ''Jedi Academy''. That said she seems uncomfortable with the role and is looking to become TheDragon once again to Marka Ragnos. |
| 520 | * DualWielding: [[spoiler: A lightsaber and the Scepter of Ragnos during her boss fight in ''Jedi Academy''.]] |
| 521 | * EnergyWeapon: [[spoiler: During her boss fight she can unleash a deadly beam from the Scepter's tip and swipe it across the room. While powerful, she's also left vulnerable to attacks and force powers when using it.]] |
| 522 | * FacialMarkings: To add to her savage-like looks, Tavion has her entire upper face covered in black paint. In ''Academy'' the markings are now two smaller reverse-triangle shaped marks over her eyes. |
| 523 | * KickTheDog: Halfway through ''Academy'', she uses Jaden's own lightsaber to destroy the ceiling of the room the heroes are, which both destroys the saber and almost kill everyone, though Kyle saves Jaden and himself. |
| 524 | * MirrorBoss: In the first game, while she does use a unique lightsaber style and her overall skill level is greater than even the Shadowtroopers, her boss fight is still a relatively "fair" lightsaber duel, whereas the fight against Desann is a ''massive'' example of TheComputerIsACheatingBastard. |
| 525 | * SheFu: In the first game, her unique lightsaber style has somewhat more emphasis on flips and spins compared to normal, being a hybrid of the regular fast and normal lightsaber styles. |
| 526 | * SmugSnake: Her fight with Kyle has her taunt him and tell him Desann's entire plan before the fight begins, though she's quick to beg when she loses. |
| 527 | * {{Stripperific}}: Her attire looks more like a bathing suit in ''Outcast''. ''Academy'' has her wearing leather pants with a bra that has sleeves and a collar. |
| 528 | * TookALevelInBadass: In ''Jedi Academy'' she is far more formidable, being able to actually overpower Kyle, albeit with a sneak attack. |
| 529 | * UngratefulBitch: When she reappears in ''Jedi Academy'' the first thing she says to Kyle is "You should have killed me when you had the chance, Katarn. Your pathetic Jedi mercy is a weakness that will cost you your life." Rich coming from someone who sounded [[VillainousBreakdown on the verge of tears when at Kyle's mercy]]. |

| 539 | ---- |
| 540 | * BarrierWarrior: He can use a barrier shield to protect himself. |
| 541 | * EvilGenius: He created the Shadowtrooper's cortosis armor, as well as an impressive suit of power armor for his own use. He even refers to himself as a genius in a very Wile E Coyote manner. |
| 542 | * EvilGloating: He gets so wrapped up in his speech that Kyle eventually just destroys the shield generator he was guarding while he's distracted. |
| 543 | -->'''Fyyar''': Worlds will tremble, stars will shudder--\ |
| 544 | '''Kyle''': ''[[[CaughtMonologuing throws his lightsaber into the shield generator]]]'' Your ''shields will fall.'' |
| 545 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Has a very deep voice that gives Desann's a run for the money. |
| 546 | * {{Expy}}: In many respects, he's similar to Rom Mohc of ''Dark Forces''. |
| 547 | * LargeHam: When he meets Kyle, he goes on to give his New Era speech. However this left an opening for Kyle to destroy the shield generator. |
| 548 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: When he's defeated, his armor explodes, vaporizing him. |
| 549 | * PoweredArmor: His battlesuit. It's got a very RaygunGothic aesthetic and includes a very large barrier shield, a repeater cannon, a lightning beam, and a big claw for punching Jedi. |
| 550 | * SmugSnake: He's not nearly as good as he thinks he is. Also, despite Desann clearly outranking him, he has some serious delusions about becoming "Ruler of a new Galactic Empire" himself. |
| 551 | * WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: Downplayed. He didn't kill Jan, but he did repeatedly subject her to torture while she was his prisoner, and he taunts Kyle with this during their confrontation, telling him that she whimpered his name quite a few times during his interrogations of her. |

| 562 | * TheBrute: Provided some of his goons to help smuggle in cortosis to Bespin, and tried to stop Kyle and Lando from leaving Nar Shadaa with a turret. |
| 563 | * FatBastard: He's one of the most powerful criminal kingpins in all of Nar Shaddaa, so powerful even the Hutts are wary of him, and a willing accomplice of Desann. He's also the only portly character in the game, with Kyle even commenting on how someone so big was able to slip away so quickly. |
| 564 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Spells this out when Kyle asks him why he's involved with the Remnant. |
| 565 | -->'''Kyle''': What's a respectable gangster like you doing mixed up with a Remnant slime like Desann?\ |
| 566 | '''Reelo''': Making money, of course! [[EvilLaugh Yah-hah-hah-hah-hah]]! |

| 588 | * KneelBeforeZod: When Jaden challenges him, he vows "You will knee before me, Jedi!" |
| 589 | * NoCureForEvil: Averted; in his boss fight Ragnos has the unique ability to heal a large portion of his health and turn briefly invincible. However, he can only do this 4 times, and there are conveniently 4 stockpiles of health and shields located around the final boss room. In contrast, the Light Side boss has the regular Force Heal and can only heal small amounts of his health, but can do so infinitely. |

| 603 | * TheDragon: To Tavion. Unlike the previous game, she's definitively more loyal to her mistress than she was to Desann. |
| 604 | * DualWielding: One of the "many things" Tavion teaches her between her two boss fights apparently includes how to use two lightsabers at once. She's also the only enemy in the game using the dual-wielding lightsaber style who can throw ''both'' of her sabers at you at once. |
| 605 | * GoodColorsEvilColors: She's an evil Twi'lek and her skin is dark red. You can invoke a contrast by making Jaden a blue-skinned Twi'lek instead. |
| 606 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Well, Red Skinned in her case. |
| 607 | * IShallTauntYou: She spent the entire second part of Taspir level mocking Jaden as he makes his way across the facility, unleashing Reborns in his way. |
| 608 | * LightningBruiser: Tavion trained her well, as she's almost as much as a threat as her; especially in her second boss fight. |
| 609 | * {{Ninja}}: Her first feat onscreen is infiltrating Luke's chambers and stealing valuable information. |
| 610 | * RedemptionRejection: Invoked, when she mocks Jaden on Tapsir for his unjedi-like rage, Jaden tries to talk her out of staying with Tavion and Ragnos' cultists, but she just laughs at his offer. |
| 611 | * RecurringBoss: Is fought twice in the game, once at the end of Act I as the first proper boss fight, and again at the end of the Act III as the ClimaxBoss before the final series of levels. In the second fight she uses considerably stronger Force powers as well as duel-wielding lightsabers. |

| 628 | * FlatCharacter: They have no character traits distinct from any other follower of Tavion beyond appearing in cutscenes. They don't even get named in the game. |
| 629 | * DegradedBoss: On Jedi difficulty and above, you can run into Reborn Masters from Taspir III onwards who look identical to the Kothos Brothers but are much more formidable, wielding a wide array of Force Powers (including Light Side powers such as Heal and Protect) and actually using lightsabers (with the one-handed one being similar to Desann's one in design). |
| 630 | * InTheHood: They both wear distinctive, hood-like headgears which include metal skullcaps. |
| 631 | * SquishyWizard: Despite their build, they don't even carry lightsabers and just use Force Powers when needed. |

Nonetheless, he doesn't wallow in self-pity, doing what he can to try and get them away from Jerec, and remaining loyal to Rahn and the rebellion in the face of Jerec's executioners even after Rahn gives him permission to talk to save his life if he wants to. |
