Jedi Covenant The Jedi Covenant was a secret organization of Jedi headquartered on Coruscant in the time of the Old Sith Wars . It was established after the end of the Great Sith War by Krynda Draay , who felt that it was her failing for not sensing the fall of Exar Kun to the dark side . The Covenant ' s goal was to use Jedi Consular s as Shadows to search for a shatterpoint that might lead to the resurrection of the Sith , and then take any action necessary to prevent that . The Covenant hated the Sith with a passion , which in itself was an aberration of the Jedi Code . They believed that had such an organization existed before the Sith War , they could have recognized the threat posed by Exar Kun when he was still a Jedi . History . Founding . As the organization ' s founder , Krynda Draay had personally trained many , if not all , of its greatest Consulars . However , her obsession blinded her to the true threat when it eventually developed . She had a special interest in the Miraluka and was known to have several of them at her home at a time for teaching . The existence and motives of the Covenant remained unknown to the Order as a whole ; even the membership of the Jedi Enclave Council and Jedi High Council were ignorant to its existence . However , Krynda had many allies throughout the Republic . Although she was no longer in the hold of the Order itself , many Jedi brought students to her to train ; though she only accepted the most gifted . After the Sith War , Seers were hard to find , and when they could be found they needed to be trained by the best . Jedi from all over the galaxy brought students to the Draay Estate , and when they were trained they were allowed to enter the order on a trial basis and were often times accepted . Padawan Massacre . There were no lengths to which the Covenant would not go in order to prevent the rise of the Sith . Such determination led to The Covenant ' s First WatchCircle — Feln , Q ' Anilia , Raana Tey , Xamar , and Krynda ' s son Lucien — carrying out of the Padawan Massacre of Taris after the Tarisian Jedi Masters had a vision of the destruction wrought by the Mandalorian Wars , Jedi Civil War and the First Jedi Purge . It appeared to be carried out by a Sith Lord in red armor , a possible symbol that one of their Padawans would fall to the dark side , considering they were all wearing red environmental suits at the time the visions took place . The Padawan Massacre of Taris was executed , but was not completely successful , for one Padawan escaped . Much to their surprise Lucien ' s own Padawan , Zayne Carrick , was the survivor and the masters knew he had to die to completely ensure that their vision did not come true . After being captured by bounty hunter Valius Ying , Zayne was returned to the Jedi Tower . But again he escaped his fate with the help of Jarael who had disguised herself as the Sith Lord from the masters ' visions . As a result , riots broke out on Taris and the Covenant was forced to withdraw to Coruscant . But before leaving they received a message from Zayne assuring them that he would hunt down each of them , only sparing the one who confessed and cleared his name of the atrocity they committed . He also told them that if he did indeed bring about the Jedi Order ' s demise , they were to remember that it began with them . First WatchCircle separated . The members of the Covenant returned to Coruscant and attempted to meet with their leader and associate , Krynda Draay , but were denied entrance to her estate . Later , they met with the Jedi High Council ; a meeting in which Vrook Lamar ordered that they be separated due to the events that had transpired on Taris , although the Council did not know of the masters ' specific acts . During their separate missions , several Covenant members were experiencing visions of very terrible events : Q ' Anilia sensing the many deaths on Serroco , Raana having nightmares of Zayne ' s possible revenge , and Lucien being betrayed and captured by his old friend , Arkoh Adasca , who reunited him with Zayne on Omonoth . Zayne later escaped back to Taris after Adasca was killed by his family ' s own creation . When Zayne returned to Taris , Raana had beat him to the punch and ordered Shad Jelavan ' s younger sister , Shel , to kill Zayne . However , the Taris Resistance needed everyone to help drive the Mandalorians away from the planet , even fugitives like Zayne . Raana disagreed with having a " future Sith " as a comrade . Raana was the first of the Covenant to die , having been caught in the explosion of the Jedi Tower on Taris . Muur Talisman . Zayne then met an agent of the Covenant named Celeste Morne . Morne was ordered by Lucien to kill Zayne , but she couldn ' t do it after seeing Zayne risk his life to save others . After she fell under the control of the Muur Talisman , Zayne chose to help Morne by putting her in stasis until he could get her some help . Before being put into stasis , Morne asked Zayne to reach Krynda and stop the Covenant ' s corruption , believing that she wouldn ' t have allowed the massacre on Taris . Zayne then resolved to end the Covenant once and for all . Odryn . On Coruscant , Haazen ( former " failed " Padawan of Arca Jeth , servant of Barrison Draay , close associate of Barrison ' s wife Krynda Draay , member of her Jedi Covenant and the former mentor of her son ) was able to get Lucien on the Jedi High Council so the Covenant ' s agents could move about freely . With his companions , Zayne traveled to Odryn , where the Sanctum of the Exalted , a storehouse of Sith artifacts , was located . He and Marn Hierogryph took as much evidence as they could to expose the Covenant . They were captured by the locals , and were imprisoned in the Sanctum . Feln arrived there and destroyed the Sanctum when he heard that Zayne ' s allies were returning . His arrogance cost him his life as his own people turned on him and killed him . Zayne left the planet with several Sith artifacts that the Moomo Brothers had smuggled onto their ship when they dropped Zayne off in the first place . Endgame . Zayne headed to Coruscant and , after dodging a Republic fleet that was charged with destroying his ship , Zayne and Gryph landed on the planet . But they were soon apprehended by Xamar . But this proved to be a blessing : Xamar confessed to the Jedi Council that Zayne was innocent shortly after capturing him . Xamar realized that the Rogue Moon Prophecy was coming true , and wanted to ensure Krynda would be safe from it . Xamar brought both Gryph and Zayne ( disguised as a Dark Jedi ) to the Draay Estate as part of a plan to get Krynda to safety . After Zayne was revealed to working for the Jedi Council , members of the Order stormed the Estate . Haazen , who was really a servant of the Sith , chose this moment to make his move : he usurped leadership of the Covenant from Krynda and ordered the Covenant Jedi to destroy the Jedi High Council , claiming it to have been influenced by the dark side and ordered them to capture the Council ' s cache of Sith artifacts . He also took control of the Republic fleet in orbit through a flaw in the Vanjervalis Chain , having them fire on the Jedi Knights , instigating a civil war between the Jedi that began to destroy Coruscant . Once Haazen had gained the artifacts , he slew the couriers and prepared to destroy the Jedi Council so that an emergency Council would be formed under his command . But when Zayne and Lucien tricked and killed him , the Covenant was ultimately dissolved . The existence of the Covenant taught the Jedi Council the dangers of having cabals from within their own Order and furthered their opposition to the Revanchist s . Wasted efforts . Unknown to the Covenant , long before the Great Sith War , the Sith were not entirely destroyed as they , the rest of the Order , and the Republic had believed . After being driven from Korriban in the waning hours of the Great Hyperspace War , remnants of the original Sith Empire had slipped into uncharted space and had been reorganized and restrengthened under their new leader . For over a thousand years , the Sith remained hidden until their surprise attack on the Republic . Therefore , the Jedi Covenant ' s task of preventing the Sith ' s return had been all for nothing , though they never knew it . There was another Sith sect that the Covenant was unaware about : the Lost Tribe of Sith , descendants of the crew of the " Omen " who crashed on Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War . When former Covenant Shadow Jelph Marrian discovered this by accident in 3960 BBY , he attempted to warn the Republic , but was chased off by Sith Saber Orielle Kitai and his starfighter was destroyed , leaving him trapped . Organization . WatchCircles . The Jedi Covenant was composed of several WatchCircles that specialized in different types of visions . The five Masters of the Taris Jedi Tower — Lucien Draay , Q ' Anilia , Feln , Xamar , and Raana Tey — were known as the First WatchCircle . The first four were among the greatest Consulars of the Jedi Order , and were apparently the premier prognosticators of the Covenant while Lucien served as its " hand . " Another Watchcircle was known as " WatchCircle Vodo " , though it was felt among some of the masters that they were not as effective . The Economic Study Circle was a group of seers used by the Covenant to study changes in the Draay Trust ' s stocks and to protect it from bankruptcy . Apart from the Seers , the Covenant also had agents known as Shadows ; in which all records of their existence had been erased and were known only to a few of the Covenant ' s members . The Shadows were used to hunt Sith treasures , one of which was the Muur Talisman on Taris . Shadow Celeste Morne was known to have destroyed the last copy of the Epistle of Marka Ragnos , and recovered Jori Daragon ' s amulet and the Eye of Horak - mul . Any retrieved items had a microtag attached to them and were distinctive Covenant Identichip s . This was only after these artifacts were coated in Nullification resin . Failed Padawan Haazen was taken under the wing of Krynda and became her Hand ; serving to maintain the Draay Trust and to employ contacts and resources to keep the Covenant functioning . Executors . The different WatchCircles were led by a single Jedi Guardian who was given the title of Executor and acted as a facilitator that managed the logistical details so that the group could perform their duties . They were chosen from those that lacked the capacity for precognition in order to ensure that such individuals did not alter the findings of the WatchCircle that they oversaw . In addition to this role , they also reported any findings of the WatchCircle to Haazen as well as gave a report on their activities . Furthermore , they also acted independently where they provided general security duties to the Jedi Covenant .
