Lycan Lycan was a male Jedi Knight who was the master of Sardoth until he fell to the dark side and became a dangerous Dark Jedi . He escaped from Republic custody when the shuttle carrying him to trial on Coruscant crashed on Darca Nyl ' s home planet . Biography . Details on Lycan ' s life are scarce . It is known he was a Jedi , Sardoth ' s master , and was the first to introduce the Iktotchi to the dark side of the Force . At some point he left the Jedi Order and became a Dark Jedi until 32 BBY , when he was apprehended by a Jedi , who attempted to transport him back to Coruscant . Lycan , however , attempted to seize control of the transport , causing it to crash close to Darca Nyl ' s home . Hauling himself from the site of the crash , Lycan forced his way into Nyl ' s home , where Darca ' s son Neas was hiding . When Neas attempted to defend himself , Lycan killed him and fled . Nyl , who had learned Lycan ' s story from the now deceased Jedi , soon discovered his son ' s body and pursued Lycan in a quest for vengeance . Lycan , who had been injured in the crash and as a result lost his memory , knew only that he was strong in the Force and the dark side , and felt that the Force was leading him to a particular destiny . Following this call , he made his way to Molavar , with Nyl in close pursuit . Arriving at Molavar , Lycan proceeded to use his powers in the Force to win a massive amount at gambling , including a new ship . When the man he was gambling against and the bouncers of the casino accused him of cheating and attempted to detain him , Lycan slaughtered everyone except for the dealer by applying pressure on their brachiocephalic arteries with the Force . He then took the ship , heading deep into the desert . However , with no particular destination other than the feeling in the Force , Lycan began to wander in circles , heading nowhere in particular . As a result , Nyl had no problem tracking him . However , Lycan soon realized he was being followed . When he finally caught up with Nyl near a cave , his power in the Force overwhelmed the mercenary , injuring him . Nyl fled for the safety of the cave , with Lycan close behind . Lycan , however , spared Nyl , keeping him alive long enough to help him regain his memories . When Nyl told him who he was Lycan was jubilant , reveling in his own power , and prepared to strike down Nyl . He was so caught up in the revelation , however , that he failed to realize that Nyl had lured him into a trap . Nyl detonated a number of mines that he had placed , crushing Lycan beneath the surrounding tons of rock . Legacy . Nyl recovered Lycan ' s lightsaber , and was still using it as his main weapon when he joined Wyl Tarson ' s Mission to Ahakista in 9 months ABY . Unfortunately for him , Sardoth was there as well and recognized the weapon . He eventually confronted Nyl , vowing to retrieve his dead master ' s blade . Powers and abilities . Lycan possessed very advanced telekinetic Force powers . It was known that he was very proficient in using Force Crush . Additionally , he practiced in advanced levitation ; he was able to levitate himself and walk over water for a long amount of time as well as levitating numerous objects at one time . He could also create visible , orange - colored Force fields , though he was only able to sustain it for a short time when Darca Nyl collapsed a cavern on him .
