Xamar Xamar was a male Khil trained as a Jedi by Krynda Draay following the Great Sith War , who later took part in the Padawan Massacre of Taris . After being discovered to be Force - sensitive as a youth , he was taken to the Draay Estate on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi Consular , along with a group of other talented students . Together , this group ' s abilities were far greater than the sum of their parts , and their teacher , Krynda Draay , believed they were the group she had prophesied would vanquish the threat of the Sith . After completing their training , Xamar and the others were inducted into the secret , cabalistic Jedi Covenant , and formed the First WatchCircle , though he spent some time serving with both the Republic Fleet and the navy of his homeworld . Early in the Mandalorian Wars , the First WatchCircle took on a group of Padawans on Taris , with Xamar training a Nagai named Gharn . However , the WatchCircle had a vision of one of the Padawans turning to the dark side and slaying them all , and they decided to kill each of their Padawans to prevent it from happening . Xamar was far more cautious about the massacre than his peers , but ultimately slew Gharn with his lightsaber . One of the Padawans , Zayne Carrick , escaped , and the WatchCircle made him a scapegoat for the murders , but was unable to apprehend him . After Covenant members Raana Tey and Feln had been killed inadvertently by Marn Hierogryph , the WatchCircle ' s leader , Lucien Draay , assigned Xamar to Republic Admiral Saul Karath ' s flagship , " Courageous " , to try to prevent Carrick from reaching Coruscant and exposing the Covenant to the Jedi Order proper . In Xamar ' s earlier vision , he had been killed by friendly fire while aboard a Republic ship ; rather than waiting to meet his fate , he decided to take the initiative and make his own luck . He fled the Republic ship , captured Carrick personally , and presented him to the Jedi Council . Xamar confessed to killing the Padawans and supplied the Council with information on the Covenant . Enacting a plan formulated by Xamar and the Council , the Khil took Carrick to the Draay Estate , pretending to have captured him by force , though things went awry , and his plot was foiled by Krynda ' s retainer , Haazen . A force of Jedi Knights supplied by the Council arrived , and Xamar clashed blades with a number of Covenant members before fleeing outside . There , he was killed when an overhead Republic ship fired on his position . Biography . Jedi Seer . Xamar was a Khil born on the planet Belnar around the time of the Great Sith War . He was found to be Force - sensitive as a youngling and was taken to the Jedi Order on Coruscant for training , like many Khil before him . He had strong precognitive skills , often seeing vivid visions with glimpses of the future , and was ultimately taken in by famed Jedi Master Krynda Draay for training as a Consular at her estate on Coruscant around 3993 BBY . Draay had previously renounced the Jedi and refused to train any more apprentices after the death of her husband in the Great Sith War , though she agreed to take on a number of students , including Xamar , because of their exceptional talents . Alongside the young Khil , the group included Feln , a Feeorin ; Raana Tey , a Togruta ; and a number of Miraluka , among them Q ' Anilia . Krynda trained each of them in the arts of divination for a number of years , and Xamar in particular grew extremely loyal to her . Krynda ' s son , Lucien Draay , also frequented the estate during their training , though he had no precognitive abilities and only a basic command of the Force , so Krynda had little interest in him . Instead , Draay ' s aide Haazen trained Lucien , though he also gave the other students training in the more physical elements of being a Jedi . Xamar was taught to wield a lightsaber efficiently , and became a reasonably skilled combatant , though he and his fellow Consulars paled in comparison to Lucien Draay , who was a skilled warrior like his late father . Five years after first beginning their training , and with all the Miraluka except Q ' Anilia no longer part of the group , Xamar and his peers engaged Lucien in a lightsaber sparring session , with Haazen looking on . Lucien made short work of them , incapacitating first Feln and then Raana Tey , before knocking Xamar ' s weapon from his hand and throwing the young Khil to the ground . Lady Krynda arrived in the hall immediately after her son defeated Q ' Anilia ; furious that her precious students were being attacked , she told Haazen , in front of Xamar and the others , that the group was the one she had foreseen and the one she was waiting for , who would " do what must be done . " Krynda believed that her four talented seers would be able to locate and prevent the re - emergence of the Sith ; together , their Force seeing abilities were far more concentrated and effective than when they meditated alone , and Krynda hoped they would be able to foresee any Jedi turning to the dark side . After they were Knighted , Krynda inducted them into the Jedi Covenant , a secretive Jedi cabal founded by Krynda and Haazen , which was dedicated to using whatever means necessary to stop the Sith . The Covenant was unknown to the Jedi Council , and its members were not above breaking the Jedi Code and using illegal means to achieve their ends . Xamar , Feln , Q ' Anilia , and Raana Tey formed the First WatchCircle , along with Lucien Draay , who would act as " de facto " leader and an intermediary between them and the Covenant . The First WatchCircle would be paired together on assignments , carrying out the normal day - to - day duties of Jedi , but they were constantly on the watch for potential future Sith . Haazen ' s contacts ensured that they were never split up by the Council . Xamar was somewhat wary of being in such a secretive group , and he often found himself wishing all their actions were done through the proper channels . He became close friends with Q ' Anilia , though he often clashed with Lucien Draay . Xamar was a cautious individual , unlike the often brash Draay ; however , Xamar was content to let Draay lead the group once Krynda kept him in check , knowing the Human Jedi was a better leader than he was . The Rogue Moon Prophecy . Though the Khil were a peace - loving species , they had their own navy , to which even Khil Jedi were called to serve . At some point in his life , Xamar returned to Belnar to serve for a time , and he kept his naval uniform long afterward . He also had considerable experience working with the Republic fleet , and had a keen knowledge of capital ships . Eventually , Xamar , Feln , Q ' Anilia , Raana Tey , and Draay were made Jedi Masters . Several years before 3964 BBY , the First WatchCircle was posted to the Outer Rim world of Taris . Inhabiting a satellite Jedi Tower , they each took a Padawan learner ; Xamar ' s was Gharn , a talented Nagai Jedi . Around this time , Xamar began investigating rumors that the Muur Talisman , an ancient Sith artifact created by Sith Lord Karness Muur , was buried on Taris , and he began to search for it on behalf of the Jedi Covenant . His search yielded no results , but he hoped to continue until he found the talisman . Additionally , he spent much time researching the talisman ; he learned that it could turn nearby sentients into subservient creatures , but that it had no effect on Force - sensitives . He compiled a report and sent it to the Covenant on Coruscant , suggesting that a Covenant Shadow should be sent on a mission to help him locate it and neutralize its threat once the Padawans ' training was completed . Xamar and his comrades continued training their Padawans for a number of years , until they were close to Knighthood . In 3964 BBY , all ten of the Masters and Padawans made the short journey to Taris ' s rogue moon , where the Padawans would face a trial — their last before they would either be granted or denied Knighthood — which involved attempting to find their way back to camp while blindfolded . As Draay and the others explained to their students , meteorites rained down on the planet constantly , making every step potentially their last . Xamar and the three other Consulars in the WatchCircle hoped to spend the time it took their students to return to the base camp meditating , as Q ' Anilia believed the Force would flow freely on the rogue moon . They had a droid designated T1 - LB set up a force field to protect them from the debris , and went about using the collective meditation techniques taught to them by Lady Krynda . Almost immediately after beginning , the four each saw a vivid precognitive vision — dubbed the Rogue Moon Prophecy — one after the other . Raana Tey saw herself perish on Taris , Feln on his homeworld of Odryn . In Xamar ' s vision , he was with the Republic fleet , about to achieve victory over the Mandalorians , before the ship he was in was fired on by another Republic vessel . He perished in the vision , as did Q ' Anilia ; a mysterious figure in a red environmental suit was responsible for each of their deaths . Draay roused them from their collective trance before long , and they expressed to him their interpretation of the policy : that the Sith would return , and that one of their Padawans , who were each wearing a red environmental suit , would turn to the dark side and kill each of them . Raana Tey advocated killing each of the Padawans then and there in order to vanquish the threat , to which Feln agreed , believing it was a clear message from the Force . Xamar was far less certain , claiming that the Force ' s swirling , ever - changing nature may have clouded its meaning . Each of the Consulars , Xamar included , knew what they saw , and Draay opined that they had to act , and quickly . Xamar clashed with him , wanting to return to Taris and contact Coruscant to get Krynda ' s approval before doing anything . The Khil refused to take part in any massacre of the Padawans , unless the four told the Covenant leadership what they had seen . Draay was swayed , and promised to make contact ; in the meantime , they would return to Taris and act like usual . Draay also Force pushed T1 - LB off the edge of a cliff , seemingly destroying the only evidence of their plot . After their Padawans had completed their assignments , Xamar and his peers returned with them to Taris , showing no indications that anything had changed . They believed that the prophecy would not come true for some time , so were content to bide their time and see what would happen . However , not long after the Rogue Moon Prophecy , Q ' Anilia fainted , informing the others that something had changed , and that something bad would happen soon . Assuming it was related to the Rogue Moon Prophecy , Draay informed the other WatchCircle members that they would shift their plans forward and carry out the murders as soon as possible after getting approval from the Covenant on Coruscant . Draay claimed to have contacted Krynda , though he had in fact told only Haazen of their vision and plan . Xamar was still unsure about the plan , though Draay refused to tell him exactly what Krynda had supposedly said , but merely that she had approved of the massacre . Xamar grudgingly relented and agreed to do his part in the killing . They decided to carry out their plan at the students ' Knighting ceremony , and beforehand held a banquet for each of the Padawans and any of their friends or relatives on Taris . The Masters felt it was important to make their apprentices ' last day pleasant . After they had carried out the killings , their cover story would claim that Shad Jelavan , one of the Padawans , was refused Knighthood and , enraged , slew his classmates before being put down by the Masters . Massacre and hunt . Later that evening , the Masters held the private Knighting ceremony in the Jedi Tower . They each had their lightsabers ready at hand , pretending that wearing them was a traditional aspect of the ritual . Before they could make use of the lightsabers , though , they had to wait for Padawan Zayne Carrick , who was late as usual . While they waited , Shad Jelavan noticed that Draay , Carrick ' s master , was carrying his lightsaber also , leading the young Knight - to - be to believe that his good friend had also been selected to become a Knight — something that was not expected , as Carrick was largely considered a buffoon by student and Master alike . Trying to buy time before Carrick ' s late arrival , Xamar , Draay , and Raana Tey attempted to persuade the Padawans that he was ready , though Jelavan and the others disagreed , and sensed that their masters were lying . The Padawans confronted them , and feeling they had no other option , the four members of the First WatchCircle drew their blades , and slew each of their Padawans . Carrick arrived moments later , to see Xamar standing over Gharn ' s lifeless body , lightsaber still in hand , alongside the other Masters , who were in similar poses . He immediately turned around and fled toward the elevator shaft . Draay attempted to persuade him to stop and accept his fate , but Carrick refused and pried open the elevator shaft doors with his lightsaber before jumping into the dark abyss . Xamar and the others jumped down in pursuit , following Carrick into a droid storage chamber , though he managed to escape them . They eventually reached him as he mounted an airspeeder , to which petty criminal Marn Hierogryph was chained . Xamar held back with Q ' Anilia as Raana Tey , Feln , and Draay gave chase in airspeeders of their own . Raana Tey and the others were unsuccessful , and soon returned to the Jedi Tower . The bodies of the Padawans were taken to a morgue by droids , and the four Jedi Consulars attempted to use divination to discern where Carrick had fled to . Before long they had a vision of him and Hierogryph in the Taris Undercity , which Xamar reported to Draay . Xamar remained at the Temple while the other four Jedi Masters traveled to the Undercity in search of Carrick . He contacted Tarisian Sector Constable Noana Sowrs of the Taris Civil Authority , informing her of the situation and , per Draay ' s instructions , using Carrick as a scapegoat , claiming he had killed his peers . Sowrs believed the story and agreed to send all available personnel in search of Carrick and Hierogryph . In contacting her , however , Xamar alerted those on Coruscant to what had transpired , and he was soon prompted to provide details . Alarmed , he delayed them as best he could , stalling until he could contact Draay and receive further instruction . Constable Sowrs informed the Khil Master that her personnel had made a number of sightings of Carrick and his accomplice on their way toward the refugee camps near the Undercity . Xamar contacted Draay , asking him what he should report back to Coruscant , though Draay was uninterested — he only wanted news of Carrick . Xamar relayed Sowrs ' information to him ; Draay and the others eventually located Carrick , but he was able to escape aboard the starship " Last Resort " and leave Taris . Draay had a few more close encounters with Carrick , but was ultimately unable to apprehend him . On the rogue moon of Taris , Carrick uncovered T1 - LB ' s remains and watched the droid ' s last recording , learning of Xamar ' s and his peers ' prophecy . The Covenant put out a bounty on Carrick . After a short time , he was captured by Twi ' lek bounty hunter Valius Ying , who took him to the Jedi Tower . Xamar gathered with the other Masters to meet with Carrick ; they hoped to discuss their actions with him and tell him about their motives before killing him . Ying and Carrick were scanned for weapons by a security droid before entering the Masters ' meeting chamber , though Hierogryph was not with him , to Draay ' s anger . Ying claimed to have found Carrick alone and theorized that his comrades had perished on the rogue moon , though the Consulars were able to discern that Hierogryph still lived , and sensed some deceit in Ying . Disregarding the fact that Ying had only brought Carrick and not his accomplice , the Masters told him that they were part of a Jedi Covenant dedicated to rooting out the Sith , and recounted their actions on the day of the massacre to him . Draay then killed the bounty hunter and told Carrick that Hierogryph and his other accomplices would also perish , as they knew too much , before the five Masters prepared to finally murder Carrick . As they prepared to strike him down , however , the power and security measures suddenly failed , and a bomb exploded above them . The glass dome that acted as the Tower ' s roof collapsed and rained glass down onto the Jedi , and a being wearing a red enviro - suit and wielding a lightsaber burst into the chamber . Xamar and his colleagues had dropped their lightsabers and were unable to stop the intruder — whom they believed could have been the Sith Lord of their vision — before the individual reached Carrick . The possible Sith revealed herself to be Jarael , one of Carrick ' s accomplices , and used low - gravity booster jet s to propel her and Carrick out of the chamber . Xamar and the others filed out onto the Tower ' s roof , but Carrick escaped again aboard the " Last Resort " . Facing the Council . The Jedi Council on Coruscant soon learned of the Padawan Massacre of Taris , and they were not impressed in the slightest by the five Masters ' inability to recapture Carrick after having allowed him to escape twice . Around the same time , the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders began encroaching on the Republic territory near Taris , but neither the Republic nor the Jedi sent reinforcements to protect the planet . The local populace , infuriated , began rioting and kidnapped Sector Constable Sowrs ' children . For three weeks the Jedi Masters remained in their Jedi Tower , with Raana Tey wanting to do something to stop the riots . However , ultimately , it would not be their mandate , as the Council contacted Draay and Xamar to inform them that the five Masters were being recalled to Coruscant for an audience with the Jedi Council . The Councilors weren ' t happy with the results of their collaboration , and felt that their authority had been undermined . Xamar could not disagree with them , and was resentful towards Draay for what he saw as his poor handling of the entire Carrick situation . He expressed his frustration and anger in front of his colleagues through sarcasm when he and Draay announced the Council ' s intentions to Tey , Feln , and Q ' Anilia . Moments later , a hologram transmission sent by a droid arrived , bearing Lucien Draay ' s name . The hologram was of Zayne Carrick , and he vowed to track down each of the Masters and kill them . If someone gave him or herself in and absolved Carrick of any blame , the fugitive Jedi said he would spare them . Carrick ended the transmission by saying that , should he go over to the dark side as prophesied , then the Masters were to blame . In response , the Jedi Masters traveled to Coruscant immediately . Using his contacts in Republic Security , Xamar inquired about the hunt for Carrick , but he was told that their resources were stretched too thin with the Mandalorian Wars to devote much to finding Carrick . Xamar and the other three seers in the WatchCircle subsequently met with Draay outside the Draay Estate , where he had been refused entry to see Krynda . After Xamar reported the situation , Draay contacted Republic Security ' s administrator , berating him and informing him that Xamar would be sent to oversee their efforts . He also threatened to send over Raana Tey , widely considered to be rash and wild , in Xamar ' s place if the administrator did not intensify his efforts immediately . The four of them later traveled to the Jedi Temple to meet with the High Council . As they entered the chambers , they encountered Revan and Alek , two renegade Jedi who were taking the fight to the Mandalorians , against the Council ' s wishes . The Council , including Masters Vandar Tokare , Vrook Lamar , and Atris , was dissatisfied with the fact that , although they were supposed to be their students ' mentors as well as guardians , they had allowed them to be killed . Draay requested that the Council allow him and his peers to put these wrongs right and lead the search for Carrick , though Lamar vehemently denied them that right . He was suspicious about how the five of them continued to end up working together on assignments , and claimed that it would stop that day . They were to be reassigned to separate postings , and the hunting of Carrick would be left for others to carry out . This prompted an angry outburst from Raana Tey , but Draay was able to control her , and they left the chambers without further disruption . Xamar wanted to inform the Council of their vision and the potential danger presented by Carrick ' s future , but when he voiced this outside the Temple , the others disagreed . They argued that if the Council was unable to act when faced with the threat of the Mandalorians , they would certainly ignore prophecies about a potential Sith Lord . The Masters then parted ways to carry out the assignments given to them by the Council . Xamar was still in occasional contact with Draay , who wanted them to keep up their attempts to locate and detain Carrick . However , Carrick ' s threat on Taris was not idle , and Raana Tey was killed on that world — just as the prophecy had predicted . Later actions . Xamar and Feln returned to the Draay Estate for Tey ' s memorial ceremony , meeting with Draay and Q ' Anilia . The memorial was held in a garden courtyard at the estate , where a large statue of Tey had been erected . During the service , however , Xamar , Feln , and Q ' Anilia found themselves in a trance - like vision ; they were back on Taris , fighting off hordes of rakghoul s , a species of deformed mutant which inhabited the lower levels of the planet . In the vision , Q ' Anilia realized that the rakghouls — which were supposed to be mindless creatures — were using intelligent thought . Xamar attempted to guide the sightless Q ' Anilia to safety , though Feln was unable to help him as he was himself occupied with organized rakghoul attacks — orchestrated by a mysterious figure wearing what Xamar knew was the Muur talisman . The three Consulars were unsure if what they were seeing was happening in the present or the future ; as if in reply , an apparition of Zayne Carrick appeared , along with three other men , each of them telling that the vision was happening in each of their respective time - frames . With that , their vision ended , and they returned to the physical world . Draay was furious with them for their perceived disrespect of Tey , though Xamar dismissed his comments , telling Draay that knowledge could not be called upon whenever it suited them . Xamar and Q ' Anilia informed Draay that they had seen the Muur talisman , which caught his attention . The talisman was an ancient Sith artifact that predated the reign of Naga Sadow , which , when worn , allowed the user to access ancient and mysterious powers . The rakghouls were known to be native only to the planet Taris , Zayne Carrick ' s last known whereabouts , and the Consulars believed that the rakghoul plague in their vision could be started by Carrick if they did not act . Feln volunteered to travel to Taris and find the talisman , but Draay knew that the Council would never allow it , so he opted to send one of his Covenant Shadow s , Celeste Morne , to track down Carrick and bring the talisman to a storehouse on Odryn . Morne had performed well in previous assignments , capturing items such as the Eye of Horak - mul , and though Xamar had some doubts that she was too young , she was approved by the four remaining WatchCircle members . Morne was dispatched immediately to Taris and was given the report Xamar had made some time prior , back on Taris . Things went awry , however , with both Morne and the talisman disappearing on the planet Jebble ; the Covenant believed that Carrick had had a hand in both incidents . Xamar was with Q ' Anilia when Feln was killed trying to apprehend Carrick on Odryn — killed with his own weapon , just like in the vision . Xamar and Q ' Anilia attempted to reach Draay , but were unable to contact him for many hours . They finally met with him in the Draay Estate , and informed him what they had seen , but he already knew . Draay berated Q ' Anilia for losing control and displaying her anguish that the prophecy was coming true , informing them that things had become serious . Draay was in a furious mood , and a defiant Xamar asked him if it hadn ' t been serious when they committed mass murder on Taris . This prompted an irate response from Draay , who throttled the diminutive Xamar against the wall . After Draay released Xamar , Q ' Anilia asked to be allowed admission to see Lady Krynda ; he refused , telling her and Xamar that any such liberties would have to wait until they had washed their hands of Carrick . Afraid that Carrick and his accomplices might come to Coruscant and give the Jedi Council evidence of the Sith artifact containment facility they ' d discovered on Odryn , Draay informed Xamar that he would be posted with the fleet in Coruscant ' s orbit to prevent Carrick from setting foot on the galactic capital . Admiral Saul Karath of the " Inexpugnable " - class tactical command ship " Swiftsure " , part of a blockade fleet in orbit , had already been contacted by Draay and had agreed to take on Xamar — Draay told him that Carrick was planning to raid Coruscant on behalf of the Mandalorians . The Rogue Moon Prophecy — and Xamar ' s fate in it — still loomed large in the Khil ' s mind , and he tried to persuade Draay to discuss the situation until they found a course of action that was satisfactory to all , but Draay refused . Xamar had the most experience of all of them working with the Republic Fleet , and it was imperative that they prevent their prophecy about the Sith Lord from coming true . After Draay had left , Q ' Anilia approached Xamar , asking him what he would do ; she saw little sense in running toward his death , and pleaded with him to stay . Xamar knew he could not run away from his fate , either , but he knew he had other options . Defection . Xamar felt that Draay was no longer competent to lead the remainder of the WatchCircle , and he knew that Draay had lied to him about having gotten Krynda ' s approval before the Padawan Massacre of Taris . He decided to take things into his own hands . He reported aboard the " Swiftsure " as ordered , but decided that he would do whatever necessary — no matter what the personal cost was for him or Draay — to protect Krynda , to whom his ultimate loyalty lay . Xamar arrived on the " Swiftsure " in his traditional Khil naval uniform worn decades previously , in an attempt to impress Admiral Karath before changing back into his blue Jedi robes . Xamar met with Karath on the flagship ' s bridge , and the admiral bragged to him about the fleet ' s capabilities . Karath was derisive of the Jedi and disliked them in general , and was not particularly keen on having Xamar aboard his ship — Carrick ' s supposed imminent raid was the only reason he permitted it in the first place . Xamar picked up on Karath ' s opinions , and questioned him about them ; Karath replied that he felt staying at home and protecting Coruscant — on the Jedi Council ' s orders — was a waste of time and resources , when the Mandalorians were showing weakness after a defeat on Jebble . Karath had noted Xamar ' s knowledge of how the ship functioned , though , so he was one of few Jedi to earn the admiral ' s respect . There was one aspect of the bridge that eluded Xamar ' s knowledge , though : Karath explained that all the ships in the fleet were slave - rigged to a central computer on the " Swiftsure " bridge , which could predict enemy movements and orchestrate a preemptive attack on them . Xamar was somewhat disconcerted by this , as it left little time for sentient contemplation , and with everyone working in tandem could result in friendly fire — which Xamar knew all about , and wished to avoid at all costs . Karath explained that while he agreed with the Khil ' s assessment , the upper echelons of the Republic Navy called the shots , and he was desperate enough to retain his command after the disastrous Battle of Serroco to follow whatever measures they wished him to . A short time later , Carrick ' s ship arrived in the system , and Karath dispatched a starfighter squadron to intercept it . After it evaded the squadron , Karath had his ships fire on it simultaneously , so that it was unable to avoid all the shots . After Carrick ' s shields were broken down , Karath believed that Carrick would be easy pickings for the superior firepower of the Republic , though Xamar was quick to caution him — Carrick did not achieve his ends through brute force , but via other , more subtle methods . Karath recommended that Xamar take a starfighter into the fray , promising not to inadvertently fire on him . Once again reminded of the prophecy , Xamar left the bridge to report to the hangar bay , though he had no intention of going near a starfighter . Using the Force , Xamar learned that in a short time Carrick ' s accomplices would crash his ship into the hangar bay , and the fugitive Jedi would steal one of the Republic ' s freighters and escape to Coruscant . He decided to take a leap of faith and act on the information ; he boarded the ship that his visions had shown Carrick would steal , stowing away for a time while Carrick and Hierogryph came aboard . He remained hidden until they reached Coruscant ' s surface , where he revealed himself and took the two hostage . He sensed that Jedi Councilors Vrook Lamar and Vandar Tokare were nearby , and took his two captives with them . After eavesdropping on a conversation of theirs with Alek Squinquargesimus and Shel Jelavan , in which Tokare stated that action could only be taken against the supposed Jedi Covenant that Jelavan claimed existed , Xamar appeared with his captives and stated that he might tell them everything he could about the Covenant , depending on what they could offer him . Xamar ultimately handed Carrick and Hierogryph over to the Jedi , and agreed to go before the Council . He testified to the Councilors , telling them everything he knew about the Covenant ' s illegal activities , and agreed to accept whatever fate they decreed for him , with a single caveat : that Krynda be given full immunity if and when action was taken against the Covenant . The Council agreed , and they went about formulating a plan to halt the machinations of Haazen and Lucien Draay . Friendly fire . They formulated a simple plan which involved Xamar and Carrick infiltrating the Draay Estate . Xamar would escort Hierogryph and Carrick into the estate to meet with Draay ; Carrick would hold a false , hollowed version of the Muur talisman and wear contact lenses to make it appear as if he had gone to the dark side . Xamar would demand that they take Carrick to Krynda ' s chambers for her to examine him . From there , Carrick and Hierogryph would create a distraction while Xamar took Krynda outside the Estate ' s gate ; " en route " , he would disable the estate ' s security measures and a large number of Jedi , led by Vrook Lamar , would storm the building and apprehend the Covenant ' s leaders . If anything went awry , Carrick ' s lightsaber was hidden in the false amulet . Xamar contacted Draay and arranged to take the two captives to the Draay Estate . The two sentries posted at the entrance insisted on having a look at Carrick themselves to discern if it was indeed him , and the Council ' s ruse deceived them . Xamar was permitted entrance , and Hierogryph was amazed at how many Jedi he saw serving the Covenant . The Khil Master explained that the Order was not a united front as most galactic citizens were led to believe , that many factions , such as the Covenanters who wished to take preemptive measures against the Sith , and the Revanchist s who wished to take defensive measures against the Mandalorians , were in surreptitious conflict with the Jedi Council , who chose to do neither . They eventually reached Lucien Draay , and Xamar told him a false story about Carrick ' s capture . Draay wanted to kill Carrick there and then , but Xamar claimed that if Carrick died , the talisman might turn another to the dark side who they ' d have to deal with . He said that Carrick should be taken to Krynda for examination post haste . Just then , Haazen arrived , agreeing with Xamar , but informing them that Krynda was busy meditating with Circle Culu at the time ; he volunteered to examine Carrick himself instead . Knowing that their plan had been compromised , Carrick whispered to Xamar , telling him to open the gates ; Carrick himself would find and retrieve Krynda . The fugitive Jedi made a diversion , claiming to have unearthed a number of other Sith artifacts on Odryn , and that he was invincible because of them . Playing along , Xamar told Haazen and Draay that he had found a number of such artifacts aboard their ship , and volunteered to retrieve them and return them to the estate . While Haazen studied Carrick , Xamar traveled to the entrance and used a computer terminal to open the estate ' s gate — allowing a large Jedi strike team to gain entry . The strike team engaged the Covenant sentries , and Xamar ignited his own lightsaber and joined the fray . He implored the Jedi sent by Vrook Lamar to do as little harm to the Covenanters as possible , because they were ultimately all Jedi . He fought with his fellow Jedi outside the Estate , contributing to an ever - growing list of killed . During the fighting , an overhead bridge exploded , and many Jedi suggested that a bomb had been set off ; Xamar , however , knew it had come from above . The debris rained down upon the Khil Master , injuring him ; he had just moments left , though , as he realized that Karath ' s fleet was firing upon the Jedi outside the Estate . Xamar perished in fiery explosion , caused by friendly fire just as the prophecy predicted . Haazen , who had in actuality gone to the dark side himself , had somehow used Karath ' s slave system to order the fleet to fire at the Jedi ; Xamar ' s previous concerns were not unjustified . Personality and traits . Like most Khil , Xamar was very cautious , and he often clashed with Lucien Draay during his time in the First WatchCircle . Draay ' s " modus operandi " involved acting what Xamar saw as arbitrarily and often hastily , while the Khil Jedi preferred more patient methods , usually wanting to seek approval from the Covenant — or , more specifically , Krynda — before acting . In the aftermath of the Rogue Moon Prophecy , Xamar refused to take part in the killings unless Draay contacted his mother and sought her approval ; ultimately , it took a lie from Draay to persuade Xamar . Xamar was fanatically loyal to Krynda , so such so that he was willing to risk — or , if it came to it , give — his life for hers . He recognized that she was extremely important , being one of the few Jedi seers still alive after the harrowing Great Sith War . Thus , he was happy to give up his freedom to the Jedi Council in exchange for Krynda ' s full immunity . He also insisted on playing a part in her kidnap from Draay Estate . Xamar held all life in very high regard . While the other First WatchCircle members had little doubts about killing their Padawans after the vision , Xamar was unsure , and thought it would be a tragedy if they misinterpreted the prophecy and killed their learners needlessly . Lucien Draay saw the killings as merely part of their mission to stop the Sith , but to Xamar they were much more — and still weighed heavily on his conscience months later . During Xamar , Feln , and Q ' Anilia ' s vision at Raana Tey ' s memorial , when they were fighting the rakghouls , Xamar attempted to protect the vulnerable Q ' Anilia , unlike Feln , whose only concern was with his own safety . Later , during the Jedi attack on the Draay Estate , Xamar told Vrook Lamar ' s Jedi strike team to do as little harm as they possibly could to the Covenant members guarding the Estate — they were all Jedi and had the same overall goals , even if their methods of achieving these goals differed greatly , and , in Xamar ' s estimation , none deserved death . Xamar stood apart from many of his peers on the WatchCircle in many ways . He was more honest than Feln and Raana Tey ; he wanted to tell the Jedi Council of the prophecy and its implications during their audience on Coruscant , while the others wanted to keep it secret and deal with it themselves . Additionally , the fact that he and his peers were operating in the shadows , unsanctioned by the proper authorities , concerned him greatly , while others relished being free of any rules . He was less violent than Feln ; more clearheaded than the passionate Raana Tey ; and more defiant towards Lucien Draay than Q ' Anilia , often questioning his orders and using sarcasm in his presence . He and Draay had many differences , and for a time Xamar acknowledged that Draay was a better leader than he , but ultimately he felt that Draay had gone corrupt with power and was incompetent . Xamar was not particularly ambitious and rarely had designs on leading any groups ; he theorized that this came with the intricate knowledge he held of the future , and that those who could not see the future , such as Draay — who he was often dismissive of — were more likely to seek personal success . Powers and abilities . Xamar was a talented Jedi seer , and one of Lady Krynda Draay ' s most promising students as a youth . After the loss of her husband in the Great Sith War , Krynda refused to train any Jedi for over five years ; it was a testament to the abilities of Xamar and his peers that she came out of retirement to train them . While Xamar ' s ability to see the future was great , when he worked with the other students his powers were enhanced . Sometimes visions came to Xamar and the other WatchCircle members when they least expected them , and nothing could be done to stop them coming ; other times , he and his peers actively sought out the future , traveling to serene locations to attune their relationship with the Force . The Rogue Moon Prophecy came as a result of the WatchCircle traveling to one of Taris ' moons to meditate ; they hoped to search the future , but weren ' t trying to find anything in particular , unlike during the hunt for Zayne Carrick , when Xamar and his peers used their divinatory skills to find out where Carrick would flee to . At other times , such as Raana Tey ' s funeral , the visions would come unexpectedly , often leaving Xamar disoriented and unsure where he was after they had ended . Xamar was also a competent military commander , serving with his species ' navy for a time early in his life , as well as working with the Republic Fleet on numerous occasions . He had a keen knowledge of capital ships , and his knowledge garnered him much respect from the likes of Saul Karath , who were dismissive of most Jedi . Though the less physical aspects of being a Jedi appealed to him most , Xamar was able to wield a lightsaber in some capacity . As a youth , he was given rudimentary training by Haazen , though whenever Xamar and the other Consulars - in - training sparred with Lucien Draay , they always came off worse . Later , during Zayne Carrick and Jarael ' s raid on the Jedi Tower , Xamar could do little to stop Jarael , who was wielding a lightsaber . Xamar was diminutive in size and was not a violent being ; as such , Draay was able to throttle him with ease later in life . Xamar again had to use his lightsaber during the Jedi attack on the Draay Estate , in which he acquitted himself well , fending off many Covenanters . Behind the scenes . Xamar , pronounced " ZAY - mar , " was created by John Jackson Miller for the , debuting in " " in January 2006 . Neither his name nor his species was revealed in that issue , but in response to a question from a fan on Miller ' s StarWars . com blog jokingly asking if the character was the same species as from , Miller revealed that he was in fact a member of the Khil race , introduced by West End Games ' " Wanted by Cracken " over twelve years previously . Xamar ' s name was then revealed a month later in " " ; John Jackson Miller purposely revealed his and Feln ' s names after the other Jedi Masters ' were given so as not to overwhelm readers with too many new names in the inaugural issue . Xamar subsequently appeared in the prelude issue " " , all the subsequent issues of the — albeit through a hologram and in a number of flashbacks in two issues — before much of his backstory was revealed in " " . Xamar did not reappear for a number of issues , though he was given a biography in the " " and was illustrated in Ryder Windham ' s " " in late 2007 . Xamar returned briefly for , before playing a much larger role in three later issues , " " , " " , and " " ; he perished in the latter . All of the works Xamar appears in have been written by his creator , John Jackson Miller , but he has been depicted by a variety of illustrators , including Brian Ching , Scott Hepburn , Bong Dazo and Alan Robinson , with Michael Atiyeh coloring all images . According to John Jackson Miller , the events surrounding the Jedi Covenant depicted in the " Vindication " story arc of " Knights of the Old Republic " bear some similarities to the of the 1970s . Thus , some fans asked if Xamar ' s role in the episode was based upon that of " , " a secret source which provided information on the scandals to the media . Miller , however , commented on his blog that Xamar ' s role was more similar to that of , who acted as a court witness during the scandal ' s investigation , as Dean was " further inside the conspiracy when he testified . " In " The Essential Guide to the Force " , Xamar and his colleagues are stated to have fought in the Great Sith War ; however , this is impossible , as they only began training some years afterward , as established in " Flashpoint Interlude : Homecoming " . In " Turnabout , Part 1 " , artist Alan Robinson depicted Xamar in his traditional Jedi outfit while aboard the " Courageous " , so as to make him more easily recognizable as he was in prior issues . However , author John Jackson Miller intended for Xamar to be wearing a naval uniform , and included a line of dialogue in which Xamar stated that his uniform was real . Miller has stated that readers should assume Xamar was wearing the uniform when he first boarded the ship but later changed into his Jedi robes . There is a possibility that Xamar ' s line about his uniform will be changed in the comic ' s trade paperback printing . When John Jackson Miller first created the character of Xamar , he wanted to depict the " sibilant sing - song speech pattern " given to the Khil by previous sources . He opted to triple occasional instances of the letter " s " appearing in Xamar ' s dialogue to show that this particular piece of continuity had not been overlooked . However , as Xamar became a more prominent character in " KotOR " — and thus began to have more lines — Miller found that the triple " s " es were occurring too regularly , so cut them entirely out of much of Xamar ' s dialogue .
