After his meeting with Skywalker , Kam became one of the first students to study at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 . Later on he became a Jedi Master and married fellow Jedi Tionne . He was also the genetic template for the clone Alpha . Biography . Dark Jedi . The son of Ranik Solusar , a Jedi Master slain by Darth Vader , Solusar spent many years hiding from Vader ' s Dark Jedi . When discovered , Solusar was tortured until his spirit was broken , and then converted to the dark side of the Force . He was stripped of the memories of his former life . After training as a Dark Jedi , Emperor Palpatine selected him as a personal warrior on Byss , part of the Dark Side Elite . On Vjun , Vill Goir taught Solusar lightsaber combat techniques . Solusar first encountered Skywalker on Nespis VIII circa 10 . 5 ABY . Sensing great strength in Solusar , Skywalker was determined to turn him back . With great difficulty , Luke helped Solusar to cast off the chains of the dark side and embrace the light side of the Force as he was intended to by restoring his memories . Now loyal to Skywalker , Solusar traveled with the Jedi Master to Ossus to assist the Ysanna in their battle against Imperial forces . He was made a general of the New Republic Defense Forces ; after defeating an Imperial army and two Dark Jedi , Solusar led a raid on the reborn Emperor ' s flagship and sabotaged it . Jedi training . The two Jedi parted ways after the defeat of the clone Emperor , but were reunited on Yavin 4 with the establishment of the Jedi Praxeum in 11 ABY . Although older than the other Jedi candidates , Solusar proved to be one of Skywalker ' s strongest apprentices , eventually becoming a full Jedi Knight . During his years on Yavin 4 , Solusar fell in love with the Jedi historian and minstrel Tionne . The two got married in 18 ABY . The friendship between Solusar and Skywalker grew deep enough that Skywalker asked him to preside over his Jedi wedding to Mara Jade in 20 ABY . He performed the first wedding ceremony , and at the second ceremony he helped subdue attackers so that the wedding could continue . When Skywalker departed the Praxeum to assist in sporadic intergalactic conflicts , he left Solusar in his stead as administrator of the Academy . Solusar held the view that the light side was the only true aspect of the Force , and that the dark side was only the Force ' s hollow shadow . Yuuzhan Vong War . During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion , Kam and Tionne took on the responsibility of guarding the young Jedi students of the Academy . When the Peace Brigade attacked the Academy in the invasion ' s second year , Kam hid the children and protected them until Anakin Solo and Talon Karrde arrived . The children were loaded onto the " Wild Karrde " , and then the " Errant Venture " , and cleared a path to a new home at the forgotten Maw Installation . Kam and Tionne also scouted the Deep Core to find a secondary location for another Jedi base . They chose the world of Eclipse . After Eclipse had to be evacuated , Kam and Tionne remained with the Academy students for the duration of the war , far from the frontlines . At the conclusion of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict , Kam recommended that Skywalker reestablish the Jedi Academy and New Jedi Order on the ancient world of Ossus , which Skywalker agreed to . Afterwards , Kam went on to be part of the Masters ' Council . Second Galactic Civil War . During the Second Galactic Civil War , Kam and Tionne were the caretakers of the Academy on Ossus . Following the death of Mara Jade Skywalker , many of the Jedi Masters left for Coruscant to attend her funeral , leaving Kam and Tionne in charge of a handful of Jedi Knights and Padawans . Jacen Solo , who by this time had assumed the Sith title of Darth Caedus and seized control of the Alliance , sent members of the Galactic Alliance Guard to Ossus , ostensibly to protect the Academy from terrorists , but in reality to keep the Jedi in check by threatening the Padawan learners . Kam and Tionne were unable to stop them . When the Jedi later deserted the Galactic Alliance , Darth Caedus ordered the execution of the Masters and Knights . Some were downed with coma gas , while others were shot by GAG snipers , and the Padawans were rounded up in an outdoor area . Kam and the few other Jedi remaining were forced to remain in hiding and watch until they knew the full extent of the situation . Tionne Solusar , however , went to confront the Major in charge of the operation , Salle Serpa . Serpa begin shooting off her limbs with a blaster , attempting to draw the remaining Jedi out of hiding . Kam eventually broke from his cover , and was shot by three sniper blasts , seriously wounding him . Against all odds , Kam survived all three hits to the chest and began recovering on Endor along with Tionne . Shortly after the end of the Second Galactic Civil War , Jedi Jaden Korr discovered an old Imperial cloning facility , which contained a mad clone of Kam Solusar , named Alpha . Rising tensions . Kam was one of many Jedi accompanying Grand Master Luke Skywalker when members of Galactic Alliance Security and a contingent of bounty hunters arrested him in 43 ABY . Kam activated his lightsaber and deflected several stray blaster bolts into the ground to protect Luke and the others . Skywalker was forced to agree to a deal with Chief of State Natasi Daala , that saw him exiled from Coruscant and forbidden to interfere in Jedi affairs . In his place , Daala instituted Kenth Hamner as interim Grand Master of the Jedi Order and head of the Council . Master Solusar and the other Council members quickly became frustrated with Hamner ' s weak leadership and policy of appeasing the hostile Daala . While the Master ' s Solusar were not present for the actual vote of no confidence in Hamner ' s leadership , a majority of the Council members were and all voted to relieve the Grand Master of his position , as well as his seat on the Council . It is likely they would have voted to oust Hamner anyway however , as the entirety of the Council was said to be unsatisfied with his leadership . After Hamner died after attacking Master Saba Sebatyne , Masters Cilghal and Corran Horn attempted to convince her to take up the role of interim Grand Master in his place . Sebatyne believed they should summon the Solusar ' s and did not want to take up the mantle , however , the pair were busy running evacuation drills . Saba eventually reluctantly bowed to the Council ' s wish that she act as their leader . The fast move . Kam and Tionne Solusar helped move all of the Jedi students and their families from Ossus to Shedu Maad , however one ship was destroyed by the Sith . Powers and abilities . Kam Solusar was a trained Force user and lightsaber duelist , first taught as a member of the Dark Side Elite , and then by Luke Skywalker . He showed his ability as a duelist by defeating his dark side trainer Vill Goir , and by the time he was a Jedi Master he was able to keep up in sparing with famed duelists like Corran Horn . Behind the scenes . In the " Union " comics , Kam seems to resemble actor , just as the character of Iry Danta seemed to be based on . Solusar was originally set to debut in the graphic novel " Lightsider " , set in between " Dark Empire I " & " II " , but the project was canceled . He thus suddenly first appears in " Dark Empire II " with no backstory , other than the mention of his father . In , he ' s mentioned as having been defeated by Luke Skywalker in the game of Lightsider , thus bringing him back from the dark side . The meeting between the two is documented in the " Dark Empire II " audio drama .
