He almost succeeded on Coruscant , but Finn realized this deception and stopped him before fleeing the planet . Biography . The Clone Wars . Dray , a Force - sensitive male Human , was taken in by the Jedi Order and trained in the ways of the Force . After a time , Dray was selected as the Padawan of Jedi Master Salmara . In 20 BBY , Dray and his master were summoned by the Jedi High Council in order to be sent on a mission pertaining to the Sith Lord Darth Maul , who had recently been revealed to have survived his duel with Obi - Wan Kenobi . Dray questioned his master on the subject , claiming that there was no way that Maul could still be alive after being cut in half , but Salmara assured him that the hatred within Maul was certainly capable of such a thing . After the pair arrived , the Jedi Council then tasked Salmara , along with Master Judd , with discovering the motives for Ja ' Boag — a Gossam with ties to the Commerce Guild — placing a bounty on the heads of both Maul and his brother , Savage Opress . Salamara wondered how someone outside of the Jedi Order could possibly know that Maul had lived ; Mace Windu told her that this was precisely what they needed to find out , while at the same time treading lightly around someone as powerful as Ja ' Boag . Judd asked what they were to do if they discovered the actual location of the dark side brothers , and Grand Master Yoda told him that Kenobi was already tracking them , but they should assist him if they could . Windu also tasked Salmara and the others with uncovering why the native population of Moorjhone had fallen silent since Ja ' boag ' s mining company arrived there . He urged the trio to follow the Force and act accordingly . Maul and Opress also traveled to Moorjhone and arrived before the Jedi , slaughtering many of Ja ' Boag ' s security forces and flinging Ja ' Boag off a balcony . The Jedi arrived just in time , and Salmara caught Ja ' Boag with the Force , saving his life . As Judd ignited his lightsaber , the two Zabrak brothers looked down on them from above — Opress was concerned that they had been discovered while Maul was filled with malicious delight . After Salmara saved Ja ' Boag , the Gossam ordered his troops to attack , but Salmara urged them to wait . She then attempted to negotiate with the Sith brothers , asking them to surrender . Opress responded by telling her that they would all die , and Judd mocked Salmara for her " good diplomacy " . The Nightbrothers attacked , slaughtering Ja ' Boag ' s troopers . Judd threw himself in their path , clashing his lightstaff against their blades . Maul reacted quickly , bashing his lightsaber hilt against Judd ' s snout , causing blood to spray out . Judd surprised the two Zabraks by knocking Opress on his back and deflecting Maul ' s counterattack . He then mocked Maul for his lack of legs , but Opress unleashed his rage , knocking both combatants away . Dray stayed by Salmara ' s side as she flung a large container at Opress , and though Maul warned him , he lashed out without a thought , opening the container — which was full of carbonite . Opress was instantly frozen solid , to Maul ' s horror . Judd again mocked Maul for his cybernetic half , but Maul grabbed Judd ' s right arm in his mechanical foot and snapped it . Maul then told Judd that he would have liked to have taken longer killing him , but Dray rushed forward and stabbed Maul from behind . Maul slashed at Dray , severing both of his hands and flung them away . As Dray fell to his knees , Salmara and the corporate troopers gave chase , but Maul managed to escape by pulling down the tunnel upon her pursuers . Dray and Judd were taken to a medical bay , where Doctor Tresfor saw to their wounds and managed to reattach the young Padawan ' s hands , then submerging him in a bacta tank . As soon as Dray recovered from his injuries , with his hands still in bandages , Maul attacked the mining facility with an army of manipulated Moorjhoni at his side . Despite Salmara ' s objections , Dray insisted that he join his master to prevent Ja ' Boag ' s escape from his facility , while Judd went to confront Maul outside . Soon , the Jedi had Ja ' Boag cornered in his control room seconds before Maul arrived and trapped them . The Sith Lord used the Force on the controls to release Opress from his carbonite prison . It took a moment for Dray to realize what was happening and tried to warn Salmara , who was right behind Opress , but it was too late ; the towering Zabrak stabbed her in the back , leaving her seriously wounded . Holocron Gate - keeper . Many years later , at some point before or during the Yuuzhan Vong War , Dray had a vision about the future of Finn Galfridian , the latest Padawan of the New Jedi Order and incorporated it in his holocron and made the information only accessible to Finn . He then set in motion a plan to get the holocron to him . The holocron also included information on Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators wearing ooglith maskers . Meeting the Prophesied Prince . In 25 ABY , Finn Galfridian traveled to Nar Shaddaa in search of information and encountered Dray , who initially had difficulty recognizing the young Jedi . As a holocron gate - keeper , Dray would later warn Finn about someone close to him being revealed for what they truly were and Tsalok hunting him . He also told Finn to travel back to Artorias . . On the way back from Artorias the holocron activated again , and told Finn that his past was now behind him and that he must come to Dray to learn his purpose . When Finn arrived on Nar Shaddaa , Dray went looking for him and found him lying on the ground . Finn ' s droid , Prowl , explained that he had passed out . Dray was able to wake Finn . Finn admitted that Dray wasn ' t what he expected . Dray responded by saying that Finn what was he expected as he had been appearing to Dray in visions for a long time . When Dray took him into his room , he sensed a feeling of loss in Finn . Finn confided in him about his father ' s death , and asked Dray how he knew . Dray revealed to him that he had foreseen the event , along with the Battle of Coruscant and the destruction of the Jedi Praxeum . He foresaw that the galaxy and the Jedi would survive these atrocities but not a weapon that the Yuuzhan Vong were currently creating , and that Finn was the only one who could stand against this weapon . When Finn suggested that Dray alert Master Skywalker to the threat , he refused , admitting that he and Skywalker did not see eye to eye . Dray told Finn that if Skywalker pooled all of the Jedi to stand against this threat , then there would be no one to stop the Yuuzhan Vong . Visions and Assassins . When Dray received a vision of Chief of State Borsk Fey ' lya being killed by Yuuzhan Vong , he and Finn traveled to Coruscant . He tasked Finn with locating the disguised Vong agents as he waited for word . He helped get Finn out of lockup when he was captured and was soon contacted to confront the Vong , led by disguised Imperial Remnant ambassador Yarmond . Finn was at a disadvantage but soon realized that the Vong had no wish to harm Fey ' lya as his cowardice made it easy to manipulate him . Suspicious , Finn questioned Dray ' s motives . Dray revealed his arrival by beheading one of the Vong with a red - bladed lightsaber and answering that he wanted the Vong out of the way , implying he was there to kill Fey ' lya . Finn saw what his teacher was and did as much as he could to stop Dray . Because Captain Kopri of the Palace Guard knew " too much " of what was transpiring and tried to have her killed , yet she and Finn managed to escape . Before going after both Finn and Kopri , Dray put Yarmond out of his misery with his blade . Later , Kopri arrived with guards at her side and demanded that Dray surrender , but the fallen Jedi had murdered the Guards with Force lightning and went after both Finn and Kopri . He caught up with them in the hanger bay , where he threw his lightsaber at Finn . However , Prowl sacrificed himself for his master as he intercepted the path of the lightsaber ' s blade , causing it to impale him . Dray grabbed a hold of the ship with the Force and tried to persuade Finn to join him and rule the galaxy by his side , but the young Galfridian declined and Force - pushed Dray , causing him to lose his grip on the shuttle . Watching his prey escape , Dray left , taking Prowl ' s remains with him . Later on , Dray watched in disgust as Finn ' s mother , Queen Nina Galfridian , revealed her true Vong form via HoloNet . Personality and traits . As a Padawan , Dray had been skeptical on the mysteries of the Force . One example was when he claimed the impossibility of Darth Maul surviving sai tok . Salmara did her best to explain to the boy about what the dark side could do . The often humorous - looking Dray always sought to help his master , and sought her proximity . He got on well with her and seldom questioned her because he wanted to learn from her . He had the courage to attack the former Sith Lord Darth Maul as he threatened to overpower the Jedi Master Judd and easily coped with the loss of his hands . When his master was killed by Savage Opress , the anger took over in him , so he gave himself to have his revenge against him . Despite his very young age , Dray was especially brave when he saved an injured Judd from Darth Maul ' s blade . Following the Great Jedi Purge , Dray suffered a severe gunshot wound on his head . The consequences of this wounding and his loneliness drove him crazy and developed a tendency to tantrums . He therefore turned to the dark side of power . Dray learned the ability to generate power bolts and did not hesitate to use them against sentient beings . His dark side strength made him powerful enough to stop a spaceship from launching . Dray set herself the goal of dominating the galaxy . As the Yuuzhan Vong stood in the way of realizing his intentions , he regarded them as enemies and sought their destruction . He knew that he needed the young Jedi Finn Galfridian to prevent the completion of a powerful weapon of the invaders . He made no attempt to convert him , but could not prevent his escape . Nevertheless , he was convinced to find Finn again . He categorized the extragalactic species as living beings because their loved ones were invisible in power . So he considered Luke Skywalker ' s defensive approach to the invaders wrong . Powers and abilities . During the Clone Wars , Dray was considered by Judd to be strong enough in the Force to go up against Darth Maul and live . Dray was one to experience Force visions , though at an awkward capacity . The vision with the fall of Coruscant was so strong that it knocked him across a room in his hideout . When he had revealed his dark nature , he fired a series of Force lightning at a squad of New Republic Palace Guards , killing them in a matter of seconds .
