Jariah Syn Jariah Syn was a male Human bounty hunter who was the son of Zareb Syn and a co - pilot of the starship " Mynock " , the crew of which also included his friends Deliah Blue and Cade Skywalker during the time of the Second Imperial Civil War against Darth Krayt and the One Sith . When Syn was seven years old , his father Zareb Syn was slain by the Cathar Jedi Rasi Tuum during the former ' s raid on the mining world Roon . To honor his late friend , the Feeorin pirate Rav raised Syn in Zareb ' s stead , and played to Syn ' s hatred of the Jedi by telling him falsehoods about the Jedi Order . As he grew , Syn learned how to use Yuuzhan Vong weaponry from Chonyo , a Yuuzhan Vong member of the crew of Rav ' s ship , the " Crimson Axe " . In the aftermath of the Massacre at Ossus , Rav ' s crew , including Syn , came across Jedi Padawan Cade Skywalker floating in the debris above the planet . Despite misgivings from Rav , Syn , unaware that Skywalker was a Jedi , insisted that Skywalker join their crew . The two became close friends , although Skywalker hid his Jedi background from Syn and the rest of the " Crimson Axe " crew . At some point , the pair left Rav ' s crew and struck out on their own , having recruited the Zeltron mechanic Deliah Blue as the third crew member of the ship " Mynock " . In 137 ABY , Syn found himself unwittingly caught up in the Second Imperial Civil War after a job on Vendaxa revealed that his captain was not only a Jedi , but the heir to the Skywalker bloodline . As a result of his association with Skywalker , Syn , as well as Blue , were captured by Imperials and used as pawns in the Sith ' s effort to turn Skywalker to the dark side . After they were freed , Syn would later come to terms with Skywalker ' s connection to the Force and would provide backup for Skywalker on his various missions . Syn would subsequently also come to terms with his father ' s death after encountering Rasi Tuum during a mission at the Hidden Temple and hearing his side of the story . Biography . Early life . Syn ' s father Zareb Syn was an associate of the Feeorin pirate Rav . When Syn was seven years old , he sneaked aboard a ship his father and Rav were piloting . Their destination was a mining world named Roon , and Rav and the elder Syn were there to perform a raid . Having felt a disturbance in the Force , the Cathar Jedi Rasi Tuum showed up at the location that Rav and Zareb were plundering and tried to defend the miners from the two pirates . Rasi Tuum cut off Rav ' s leg and slew Zareb Syn in the ensuing confrontation , while a panicked Syn rushed out of the ship to his slain father . Rasi Tuum loomed over Syn , seemingly about to kill him too , but Syn was saved by a blaster bolt fired at the Jedi ' s chest . To repay his fallen comrade , Rav raised Syn in Zareb ' s stead . Having been told some falsehoods about the Jedi Order as a whole by Rav , as well as having witnessed his father ' s death at the hands of a Jedi , Syn developed a strong hatred for all Jedi . In 130 ABY , having heard about the Massacre at Ossus , Rav , Syn and the rest of Rav ' s crew decided to go to Ossus to plunder the Jedi Temple and remove any goods of value from it . Upon arriving , Syn and Rav found Jedi trainee Cade Skywalker floating in the rubble over Ossus . Upon retrieving Skywalker , Rav assumed he was a Jedi and wanted to throw him to the vacuum of space . However , Syn insisted that Skywalker was not a Jedi because he had no lightsaber , and fought to keep him alive because he assumed Skywalker was part of a rival pirate group who might have already been dirtside . Syn reasoned that if they kill Skywalker , they might never know what traps , if any , were put in place . After Skywalker lied about being a trader that knew the layout of the Temple by heart , Rav relented and let him live , but stated he would throw both Syn and Skywalker out of the airlock if Skywalker led them into a trap . Skywalker then led the pirates in plundering the Jedi Temple . After the event , Rav decided to take Skywalker on as an apprentice . Syn and Skywalker became close friends , although given Syn ' s hatred of Jedi , Skywalker never revealed to his friend his last name or the fact that he used to be a Jedi . After many years as Rav ' s apprentices , Syn and Skywalker became bounty hunters , and Syn joined the crew of Skywalker ' s ship , the " Mynock " , as co - pilot . At some point after striking out on their own , the pair recruited the Zeltron mechanic Deliah Blue as their third crew member . Bounty hunter . In 137 ABY , Syn , Skywalker and Blue were contracted by Rav to locate gambler Naxy Screeger . After locating him on the planet Lok , the group also came across a Jedi named Hosk Trey ' lis . Savoring the opportunity to capture the Jedi and make more money , Syn attempted to kill the Jedi to make capture easier , but was stopped by Skywalker . After Blue ' s attempt to capture Trey ' lis failed , Syn threw a thud bug at the Jedi ' s back , and the group left Lok with both Screeger and Trey ' lis in tow . On their arrival on Socorro , their Jedi captive put up a struggle , but Skywalker was able to subdue him long enough for them to turn their two captives over to Rav . When Rav paid the crew with just enough to refuel the Mynock and buy a few drinks , and gave Skywalker death sticks as a bonus that was added to the crew ' s tab , Syn was furious . Skywalker then told him that it was his ship and his life , and that if Syn did not like being a part of the crew , he could find a new ship . Skywalker then took his leave , and Syn and Rav had a short argument about Rav ' s motivations for keeping the crew of the Mynock in debt . Syn accused Rav of using Skywalker ' s death stick addiction as a way of keeping the crew on a tight leash . Rav replied that he liked having the crew owe him , as it reminded him of the " good old days " . When Syn pointed out that he and Skywalker earned their freedom from him and that Rav owed them , Rav replied that the only person he owed was Syn ' s dead father , and that debt was paid . Syn then received an admonishment from Rav , telling Syn that he ' ll " always be owned " . After the argument with Rav , Syn admitted to Blue that he felt Skywalker had lost his edge as a bounty hunter . Afterwards , Blue and Syn returned to the Mynock , but found they were locked out due to Skywalker consuming his death sticks in private . Once the door opened , Syn powered up the " Mynock " to leave the planet . However , a disguised Princess Marasiah Fel and her companion Astraal Vao fled towards the ship , demanding passage to Vendaxa . After questioning why , Skywalker saw that the Sith Lord Darth Talon was pursing the pair , and shuttled them onboard . The crew then discovered the true identity of their two passengers , and with it the huge bounty attached to Princess Marasiah . Syn wanted to turn their two passengers in to the Imperials right away , but Skywalker wanted to take the two to their destination in order to collect the bounties on both the Princess and her father , deposed Emperor Roan Fel . Skirmish on Vendaxa . On Vendaxa , Syn and the rest of the " Mynock " crew protected their two guests from the native beasts while en route to a meeting point established by Astraal and her brother long ago when they were children . When Astraal ' s brother Shado Vao and Shado ' s Master Wolf Sazen showed up at the rendezvous point and helped the group kill an acklay , Syn was disgusted when he discovered Astraal ' s brother was a Jedi . Princess Marasiah then informed the " Mynock " crew that the craft the Jedi had arrived in would be the way off Vendaxa for her and her companion . Having strongly suspected the " Mynock " crew intent to turn her in for a bounty , Princess Marasiah informed the " Mynock " crew that neither she , Astraal or the Jedi had the credits to pay them for their transport . Syn was furious at being duped and appealed to Skywalker to do something , but Skywalker just shrugged it off and told his crew to cut their losses and prepare the ship for flight . The Princess , Astraal and the two Jedi were about to board the Jedi craft when it was destroyed by Darth Talon . Upon seeing the explosion , Syn snidely told the princess that the fee for transport just doubled . Darth Talon , who had tracked her quarry to Vendaxa though the use of a Force technique , took this opportunity to spring her attack , and used the Force to drive the native beasts to attack the group at her command . Syn then joined Blue and took part in the battle against the Sith Lord by shooting at her with a blaster . After Talon ripped the blasters from their hands using The Force , Skywalker Force - hurled an old shipwreck at her , delaying the Sith long enough for her to call for reinforcements . While repairing the " Mynock " , which had been damaged in the battle , Syn contemplated turning Skywalker in for a bounty after he discovered his longtime friend was a Jedi . The pair got into an argument after Skywalker confronted Syn about it , and Syn even went so far as to threaten to shoot him in the face . However , just as Syn was about to shoot him , Skywalker used the Force to grab Syn ' s blaster out of his hand , dropped it on the ground , and walked away . The Sith attacked again , this time with Darth Nihl and a small retinue of other Sith fighting at Talon ' s side , and the newly - arrived Imperial Knight s Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg fighting alongside the Jedi . Syn and Blue prepared the " Mynock " for flight . When Blue stated that she was not leaving without Skywalker , Syn said that if Skywalker was one of them , he ' d already be on board . Blue replied that if Skywalker was left behind , she would jettison him into space . Princess Marasiah had been wounded by an Iridonian Sith while protecting Skywalker , and the Jedi covered the Imperial Knights as they brought the Princess on board the " Mynock " . At this point , Skywalker had engaged in a duel with Nihl , his father ' s killer . Just as the two men were about to square off , Syn shot at Nihl with his blaster , hitting him in the chest . Nihl retaliated by Force shoving both men , and Syn left Skywalker to finish the fight . After all Jedi , Imperials , and bounty hunters were on board the " Mynock " , the crew was instructed by Draco to fly to Bastion . When Syn questioned why they would fly to the stronghold of the Sith , he was informed by Draco that Emperor Fel had recently retaken Bastion , and that it was the only place that had the healers and medical supplies needed to save the Princess . Syn pointed out that it was going to take time to fly to Bastion , and Blue said that the engines can only go so fast . Draco then got upset and threatened to kill the pair if they did not make the ship go as fast as possible . Syn then watched as Skywalker healed the Princess using the Force , and when the " Mynock " arrived on Bastion , Syn and Blue were abandoned by Skywalker due to his lack of trust of Syn . Sith captive . Despite this , Syn and Blue found a way off Bastion and traveled to Socorro , as Rav had contacted the pair to do a job for him . Having gambled away his share of the reward Emperor Fel gave the pair for safely returning Princess Marasiah , Syn badgered Blue for her share so that he could use it as a down payment on a Chume Sen cruiser . Blue replied that she had already put half of her share on a deposit to use the " Grinning Liar " to transport them to Socorro . Upset with Syn for pestering her and Skywalker for abandoning them , Blue stormed off . A short while later , the pair met with Rav , who inquired about Skywalker ' s whereabouts . Syn lied and said that the pair told Skywalker to " jump in a black hole " and that they no longer needed him , and neither does Rav . Syn then asked about what the job entailed , and Rav told the pair it was a job only they can do . Rav then led the pair into a room to talk privately . Standing in the room Rav had taken the pair was Nyna Calixte , Imperial Moff and head of Imperial Intelligence . Flanked by a pair of stormtroopers , Calixte informed the pair they were under arrest for harboring a Jedi named Cade Skywalker . Blue and Syn denied that Skywalker was a Jedi , with Blue stating that it was death stick - induced delusions that make Skywalker think he was a Jedi , and Syn challenging Rav to let the Imperials shoot them . Rav then made Syn watch the security cam from when they had turned in Hosk Trey ' lis , which had recorded Skywalker using the Force to subdue the Jedi . Rav informed the pair that their antics on Vendaxa had already alerted the Empire to Skywalker ' s identity and that they were now known as his associates , and that he had arranged for the Empire to capture them . Rav then played to Syn ' s hatred for Jedi , telling him that Skywalker had played him for the biggest fool of all , and that Syn owed Skywalker nothing . Calixte then stated that she had no interest in the pair , other than for them to reveal the whereabouts of Skywalker . She stated that if they divulge that piece of information to her , they will have been considered " hostages of the Jedi " and be allowed to go free . Syn took this opportunity to express his disgust of the Sith and the Empire , stating that he hate them more than he hates Jedi . Syn then lied and said that if the Imperials wanted to find Skywalker , then they should look no further than the slythmongers on Coruscant . Calixte , having seen through the lie , expressed the opinion that she hoped to get the information the easy way . She then activated an interrogation droid and unleashed it on the pair , expecting the torture it inflicted would force them to talk . The pair still refused to cooperate with the Imperials , and at some point they were turned over to the Sith and implanted with Yuuzhan Vong coral seeds . Skywalker had gotten himself captured by the Sith while attempting to rescue Hosk Trey ' lis , the same Bothan Jedi he had turned in for a bounty , from the Sith Temple on Coruscant . In an attempt to get Skywalker to demonstrate his healing power , Darth Krayt arranged to use Syn and Blue as his test subjects . When questioned by Krayt about Skywalker ' s healing power , both Syn and Blue lied about having witnessed it , so Krayt instructed Darth Maladi to use Force lightning on them , accelerating the growth of the coral seed implants . Krayt then offered Skywalker a choice : use his power to save one of his friends , or watch them both die . After telling Skywalker to get his Jedi hands off of him , Syn told Skywalker to save Blue and let him die . After telling Syn to keep quiet , Skywalker then expended a large amount of Force energy to heal them both . Impressed , Krayt demanded that Skywalker join the Sith . Skywalker only accepted Krayt ' s offer on the condition that Syn and Blue be allowed to leave the Sith Temple safely . Rescuing Skywalker . Skywalker had recorded a message to Syn and Blue prior to his capture by the Sith , and left it and the access codes to the " Mynock " in the care of the Hutt Queen Jool , owner of Rik ' s Cantina on Coruscant , with the instructions that Syn and Blue get them next time she saw them . When Syn and Blue were released from the Sith Temple , they headed to Rik ' s Cantina , and Jool gave them the access codes as promised . The message stated that if the pair were viewing it , then he wasn ' t going to be coming back and urged them to take the " Mynock " and go . Syn was all too happy to do just that , but Blue said that Skywalker saved their lives , and they owe him . When Blue threatened him with a blaster after he said that Skywalker was the reason they almost died in the first place , he urged Blue to shoot him . The argument between Syn and Blue was interrupted by Kee , a Devaronian smuggler , and the Wookiee Chak , Kee ' s partner and the owner of the " Grinning Liar " . The pair demanded the return of their ship , but Syn informed them that Rav had taken it when he had double - crossed Syn and Blue to the Imperials , but they were welcome to take the " Mynock " instead if they wanted . Chak stated that he did not want the " Mynock " , and tried to coerce Blue into helping him retrieve it by threatening to rip her arms off if she did not . Blue replied that she was not leaving the planet until they got Skywalker back from the Sith . Again , the argument was interrupted , but this time it was by Nyna Calixte , in her guise as Imperial Intelligence agent Morrigan Corde . Corde stated that she had a plan to rescue Skywalker . When Syn stated that he wanted no part of such a plan , Blue again berated him , telling him that Skywalker saved their lives and asking Syn to remember all the times Skywalker had gotten them out of seemingly impossible situations . Syn then asked Corde why she was helping them , to which she replied that she was Skywalker ' s mother . Syn expressed his disbelief of this claim , even dismissing the family holo Corde showed the group of herself , Kol Skywalker , and a young Cade , as a fake . Chak confirmed the holo as real , having worked at the Jedi Temple on Ossus around that time period . Having secured the group ' s cooperation , Corde then instructed them to fly the " Mynock " to a specific set of coordinates and meet her there . A short while later , Corde had secured three dozen Vong bugs , taken from a batch that the Imperials had confiscated from the criminal organization Black Sun . Corde boarded the Mynock with the bugs and dumped them on a table in front of Syn , who was overjoyed at how many there were . Due to his knowledge of how to handle the bugs , Corde tasked him with making sure they were kept comfortable while Kee wired them with some bio - microcircuitry . Some of the bugs would be fit with spy cameras , others would act as boom bugs , but it was Syn ' s responsibility to make sure they all obeyed . Having programmed the bugs , the team sent them into the Sith Temple on Coruscant , and shortly after were successful in locating Cade . Jariah , Deliah , Morrigan , Kee , and Chak prepared to rescue Cade , and Jariah asked Morrigan what she would do if Cade refused to return with them . What she would do if Cade had truly turned to the Sith ? Morrigan simply replied saying that she would disown and kill Cade if he committed to the Sith . When Cade revealed himself to be merely pretending to be in the thrall of the dark side Jariah flew the " Mynock " towards the Sith Temple , beginning their rescue operation . After Corde left the " Mynock " using a jetpack , she blasted the window in Krayt ' s throne room where Krayt and Cade were dueling . Cade jumped out and was caught by Syn . With Cade on board , the crew of the " Mynock " entered hyperspace . Socorro and Rawk ' s Nest . With the help of Naxy Screeger , the " Mynock " crew , along with Chak and Kee , arrived at the " Crimson Axe " on Socorro to retrieve Chak ' s ship , the " Grinning Liar " . In an effort to get it back , Syn , Skywalker , Chak and Kee stormed the " Crimson Axe " , met with Rav and demanded its return . Rav refused , and he had a bunch of his underlings attack the four bounty hunters . After a short battle , Syn watched as Skywalker threatened Rav at lightsaber point , berated him for turning Syn and Blue over to the Imperials , and again demanded that custody of the " Grinning Liar " be released to Chak and Kee . Rav agreed to the deal after Skywalker used Force lightning on Rav and made him swear the Bloody Bones oath to Skywalker . With their ship returned to them , Chak and Kee headed their own way . Syn and Skywalker took Screeger , who had followed them to the spaceport with the purpose of leaving Socorro , as an unwilling passenger aboard their ship . Not trusting Screeger with the run of the ship , Skywalker and Syn locked Screeger in the brig . The pair briefly discussed " getting lost in the galaxy " to avoid all the unwanted attention Skywalker had garnered from the Sith and the Imperials , and decided to make Rawk ' s Nest on Iego , the home of Skywalker ' s uncle , their next destination . While en route to Iego , the pair dropped Screeger off at an unknown location . When the " Mynock " crew arrived at Rawk ' s Nest , they assisted the Rawk family in fending off a Black Sun attack on the Nest ; Syn flew the " Mynock " while Blue and Skywalker manned the guns . After the defeat of the Black Sun thugs , the " Mynock " crew rested for a few days with Rawk , his wife Droo Rawk , and the three Rawk children : Ahnah , Skeeto and Micah . Syn enjoyed spending time with Ahnah in particular , as the pair held an attraction to one another . Four days after the Mynock crew arrived at Rawk ' s Nest , Skeeto came across a holovid report that identified Skywalker as a wanted terrorist in conjunction with the attack on the Sith Temple . Regretting that he had potentially put the Rawks in danger , Skywalker ordered Syn and Blue to pack up and get ready to leave Iego . Rawk and Skywalker got into an argument over Skywalker ' s plan to flee , which ended with both men punching each other and the " Mynock " crew staying on Iego . Unknown to the " Mynock " crew and the Rawk family , former Jedi student turned bounty hunter Azlyn Rae had tracked the " Mynock " to Iego . Rawk apprehended a disguised Rae while she was attempting to capture Skywalker , and when she removed her disguise both men were shocked to discover her identity . Syn , Blue and Droo joined Bantha and Skywalker in listening to Rae ' s explanation on how she survived the Third Jedi Purge and her motives for capturing Skywalker . They were interrupted when the Nest ' s long - range sensors went off , forcing Skywalker , Blue and Syn to hide inside a hidden compartment in the " Mynock " . Tipped off by Black Sun criminals that had survived the attack on Rawk ' s Nest , an Imperial squad landed at Rawk ' s Nest looking for the " Mynock " and her crew . The Imperials assaulted Rawk and took the rest of his family captive . Rae was also assaulted for lying to the Imperial captain ; he threatened to shoot Micah if she lied to him again about the whereabouts of the " Mynock " ' s crew . To save Micah ' s life , Rae used a mind trick to convince the captain that the " Mynock " was never on Iego . Having fallen for the mind trick , the captain ordered his crew off of Iego , and the " Mynock " crew emerged from their hiding spot . Supported by Syn and Blue , Skywalker declared his intention to kill Darth Krayt , but stated that he needed allies to help him in his cause . Bantha informed Skywalker of a Hidden Temple constructed in secret by the Jedi Council prior to the Sith – Imperial War . Since the war , the Temple had been used as the seat of the Jedi Order . Joined by Rae , Rawk left his family to show the " Mynock " crew the way to the Hidden Temple so Skywalker could plead his case to the Jedi Council . The Hidden Temple . Rae , who became an Imperial Knight after the Jedi were scattered , secretly relayed the location of the temple to Princess Marasiah , Antares Draco , and Ganner Krieg . The Imperial Knights followed the " Mynock " into the temple using a cloaked ship . After a brief confrontation with Cade and Shado Vao , the Knights were invited to attend the Council meeting together with Cade . Blue , Rae , and Syn had to wait outside the Council chamber and were accompanied by a few Jedi . Rae met her former master , Rasi Tuum whom she had believed to have been killed when protecting her . Syn recognized Tuum as the Jedi who had killed his father and was determined to kill him as he had planned it a long time . When he first recognized the killer of his father he seemed depressed and Zabrak Jedi Master Mai asked him if he felt ill but , enraged , he knocked her unconscious . Then he headed for the " Mynock " to acquire the necessary equipment to kill Tuum . His attempt , however , failed and he was detained by Tuum and subsequently learned the circumstances that led to his father ' s death at Tuum ' s hands . He then left the temple with Cade , Blue , Shado Vao and three Imperial Knights on a mission to kill Darth Krayt . An ancient threat . En route to Had Abaddon , the " Mynock " was pulled out of hyperspace by the ancient Jedi Knight Celeste Morne . Morne , who was under the influence of the spirit of Sith Lord Karness Muur for the last four thousand years via the Muur Talisman she wore around her neck , used a tractor beam to pull the " Mynock " onto an Imperial Star Destroyer she had captured . Once the Mynock was in the Star Destroyer hangar bay , Blue was ordered to stay with the ship while Syn accompanied Skywalker , the Imperial Knights Antares Draco , Ganner Krieg , and Azlyn Rae and Jedi Knight Shado Vao in exploring the seemingly abandoned hangar bay . Draco and Krieg split from the group and went to explore another part of the hangar , while the rest of the group searched the only other ship in the hangar bay . Upon examination , the group found that the ship was over one hundred years old and that the bones found inside were the skeletal remains of the crew , transformed after being infected by the rakghoul plague unleashed by Muur through Morne . Shortly after checking in with Draco and Krieg , who also found nothing but bones , the remaining group members were attacked by live rakghoul s . Syn attacked them with his blaster and witnessed as Skywalker and Rae were bitten . At this point , Morne entered the room , noticed that Skywalker and Rae were bitten , and separated them from Syn and Vao using the Force . Morne locked Skywalker and Rae into a room with her and jammed the lock , in effect quarantining them . On the other side of the door , Syn berated Vao for not being able to free Skywalker and Rae from Morne ' s prison and appealed to Blue to help him fend off the rakghouls that were surrounding the pair . Paired with an attack by the two remaining Imperial Knights , Blue used the Mynock ' s laser to shoot at the rakghouls , saving Syn and Vao from the rakghoul ' s attack . On the other side of the door , Skywalker used his healing power to cure Rae and himself of the Rakghoul plague . Surprised and impressed by the feat , Morne let them out of the room and into the room containing Syn , Vao , Blue , Draco and Krieg . Morne declared that Skywalker had earned her approval and that she would ally with the group in their quest to kill Darth Krayt . Battle on Had Abbadon . On Had Abbadon , while prepping for the plan to kill Darth Krayt , Syn and Blue had a conversation about Skywalker ' s rekindled feelings towards Azlyn Rae . Blue , despite being a member of the polyamorous Zeltron species , was threatened by Skywalker ' s feelings for Rae . Syn assured her that Skywalker does care for her , and advised her to leave him be for the moment being . As part of the plan to lure Krayt , Morne , " pretending " to be Muur , sent a holomessage to Darth Krayt , promising to hand over Skywalker if Krayt were to come alone to Had Abbadon . " Muur " stated that if Krayt did not come alone , Skywalker would be killed . Krayt ignored the instruction and arrived on Had Abbadon with Darth Talon , Darth Maladi , Darth Stryfe and Darth Wyyrlok . Upon reaching Had Abbadon , the Sith discovered that Skywalker ' s capture was a ruse and attacked . With the Battle of Had Abbadon in full swing , Skywalker engaged Darth Stryfe in a battle . During the duel he called to Syn to set up some thermal detonators in his general area . Syn let the thermal detonators fly out of the ship , where they rested behind Stryfe . Skywalker then Force kick ed Stryfe onto the thermal detonators , at which point Syn set them off . The explosion grievously injured Stryfe and made him fall off of the platform they were dueling on . Soon after this , Karness Muur asserted control over Morne ' s body and blasted both Darth Krayt and Azlyn Rae with Force lightning . Morne then regained control and Force pushed Krayt off a cliff . Morne then admitted that she was losing her control over both Muur and his Talisman and asked Skywalker to kill her , a request he granted . At Morne ' s death , the Talisman then attached itself to Skywalker , but he disintegrated it with Force lightning . Moments after the destruction of the Muur Talisman , Syn informed Skywalker that Rae was still breathing . Skywalker rushed to Azlyn and used his healing powers , but she was too heavily wounded for them to completely work . Syn advised Skywalker that his powers weren ' t working and Vao advised Skywalker to let her join with the Force , but he refused , saying he would keep trying until he could find a medical facility . Rae herself wanted to join the Force and told Skywalker to let her go , but Skywalker refused to do so . Blue suggested taking Rae to his aunt Droo Rawk , and Skywalker agreed . As they tried to leave , Krieg and Draco tried to come with them . Skywalker refused them , since he had discovered that their real mission was to secure the Talisman for Emperor Fel , and Vao used the Force to push them away when Krieg tried to prevent them from taking Rae . Skywalker then boarded the ship with Syn and the rest of his friends and set a course for Kiffex , while Skywalker kept Rae alive through the constant use of his Force healing ability . Events on Kiffex . While attempting to land on Kiffex , the " Mynock " got caught in a lightning storm caused by the orbits of the planets Kiffex and and its sister planet Kiffu overlapping . Syn put out a distress call to Bantha Rawk , stating that the ship was coming in hot and that they had wounded . Rawk and his wife Droo met the " Mynock " at the coordinates specified by Syn and the pair took custody of Rae , taking her back to their place in a glass covered hoverlift . As part of the healer ' s rules , Droo asked Skywalker if Rae said she wanted to live , Skywalker replied by lying and saying that she did . Once Rae was in safe hands , Syn attempted to comfort Skywalker , but Skywalker passed out from the effort he had made in keeping Rae alive on the trip to Kiffex . While waiting for Skywalker to recover , Syn had dinner with Skywalker ' s cousins Skeeto and Micah Rawk . Micah teased Syn about his sister Ahnah , who was out training to be a Kiffu Guardian , saying that she would be tougher than ever and have Syn in binders if he stepped out of line . Syn , who had long felt an attraction to Ahnah , replied by saying not to get his hopes up , which disgusted Skeeto . The conversation was interrupted by a newly awoken Skywalker , who felt like going into town . Skywalker asked Syn if he wanted to join him at a spacer ' s cantina on the fringe , to which Syn agreed . On the way to the cantina , the pair were stopped by Vao , who demanded to know if Krayt was really dead . Skywalker replied that Krayt was indeed dead , and sent Vao on his way . At the Busted Blaster spacer ' s bar , Skywalker and Syn got into fights with the locals over Skywalker using the Force to cheat at sabacc . The pair defeated the local thugs , with Skywalker again using the Force to make one of the thugs lick his boots . Syn warned him that there were others coming , and the pair again got involved in another fight with the patrons of the bar . This time , three Kiffu Guardians were called in to investigate the disturbance at the bar , and one of the Guardians was none other than Ahnah Rawk . The three Guardians subdued the bar patrons , and demanded to know who started the fight . One of the spacers identified Skywalker , at which point Skywalker attacked the first two Guardians . Amid the blasterfire , Syn recognized Ahnah and told Skywalker to stop fighting . Skywalker refused , and Ahnah confronted her cousin at blasterpoint , informing him that he is under arrest and demanded that he stand down . Skywalker mocked his cousin and threatened to beat her up too , while Syn told Ahnah to stand down for her own protection . Ahnah refused , identifing Skywalker as being out of control and demanded to know who was else was going to stop him . Ahnah then mockingly asked Syn if he was going to be the one to stop Skywalker , to which Syn replied in the affirmative . Syn positioned himself between Skywalker and Ahnah , and asked Skywalker if he had gotten so bad that he would hurt his cousin . Syn then challenged Skywalker to go ahead and hurt his cousin , but that Skywalker would have to go through Syn to do it . Skywalker called his bluff and used the Force on Syn , who reminded Skywalker that if anything happened to Ahnah , Rawk and Droo would be beyond upset with him and advised Skywalker not to smack down his family . Skywalker pulled out his blaster and pointed it at Syn , replied that she was against him by taking the side of the law over her family by arresting him and demanded to know why Syn was defending her . Syn replied that he was keeping Skywalker from doing something stupid and pleaded with Skywalker to not make him act like the adult in this situation . After a tense standoff between all three parties , Skywalker lowered his blaster . Ahnah informed the pair that family or not , both of them were still under arrest . Syn kissed Ahnah while at the same time placing a Yuuzhan Vong bioweapon on her neck , knocking her out . Apologetic for knocking her out , Syn placed her on a nearby chair and flew back to the Rawk compound with Skywalker . Back at the compound , Skywalker and his crew were banished from Kiffex by his aunt Droo , because she discovered that he had lied to her about Rae wanting to live and for tricking her into breaking the healer ' s most basic rule : healing must never be imposed . Disappointed in his nephew ' s actions , Rawk gave the crew two days to leave Kiffex . On the " Mynock " , Syn reflected that Ahnah should have turned them in , and that not doing so will cost her in the long run . Syn also stated that the Mynock crew did nothing but bring trouble to Rawk , and asked Skywalker why they do it . Skywalker replied that it was because he was an idiot , and that everytime he does something nice , he gets kicked in the teeth for it . Syn pointed out that each one of Skywalker ' s " good " deeds , from killing Krayt to saving Rae , was selfishly motivated . Skywalker stated that no one ' s motives were unmixed and that maybe Rav had it right : don ' t care about anyone but yourself , and no one gets hurt that way . The pair then met up with Blue , and the three of them decided to head to the Outer Rim . Syn suggested that with Krayt dead , there will be lots of activity in that area to perform some smuggling , bounty hunting and piracy . The crew left Kiffex without saying goodbye to Ahnah and the other children , despite the lightning storm raging above . Issues in the Outer Rim . The " Mynock " crew arrived in the Arkanis sector and began to plunder Imperial ships for their cargo . During one such incident on the Triellus Trade Route , the " Mynock " crew boarded an Imperial ship , killed the Black Sun pirates , stole their cargo , and had Skywalker mind trick the Imperial officers into forgetting that the crew of the " Mynock " were there . Back on board the Mynock , Syn and Blue had a laugh at the expense of the Imperials , while Skywalker was sullen and retreated to his room . Syn expressed concern to Blue about Skywalker , wondering if the latter had started using death sticks again . Blue replied that she didn ' t know for certain . Syn then offered to keep Blue company sometime if she ever got lonely . The crew landed at Mos Eisley Spaceport , Tatooine . It was discovered by Blue that the Mynock needed a new trivalve assembly . Skywalker blamed Blue for letting it break , but Blue told him that she reminded both Skywalker and Syn numerous times that it needed replacing , but they ignored her and spent all of their money from their hauls . Skywalker said that they would get the part once he sold the cargo they stole to Muz the Fence , then he and Syn would get drunk at Gusha ' s Luck cantina . Syn lamented that there was a Twi ' lek female there that caught his eye , but she only drank the very expensive Tatooine Sunrise drink . Skywalker met with Muz the Fence , who only paid a quarter of the value for the stolen goods because he found out from his sources that the shipment was hot . Muz informed Skywalker that Black Sun was now looking for the " Mynock " crew , and they should get off Tatooine as soon as possible . Skywalker informed his crew of this turn of events , and Syn suggested they steal a trivalve . Skywalker said that he did some checking , and there was none on the planet . Syn then suggested that Skywalker Force - heal the valve , which lead to an argument between Blue and Skywalker as he suggested that if he could , he wouldn ' t need her . Syn broke up the argument by suggesting that Blue run the " missionary scam " , where Blue pretended to be an Imperial missionary to scam a part out of the Imperial Mission . After some coaxing , Blue reluctantly agreed to do the scam . While Blue was running the scam , Skywalker and Syn went to Gusha ' s Luck cantina , where Syn and Skywalker discussed how Blue was gonna be mad at them for getting drunk while she was out doing the work . The conversation about Blue was cut short when Syn spotted his Twi ' lek admirer . Syn remarked that he had no creds to buy her Tatooine sunrises , and asked Skywalker how he was supposed to impress her . Skywalker suggested Syn tell her that he was a Jedi on the run , and Syn went over to talk to her with that story in mind . While Syn was distracted with his Twi ' lek admirer , Skywalker had been drugged and taken from the bar by undercover Imperial agent Gunn Yage . A short time later , Syn would find out that his Twi ' lek companion was married when her husband entered the bar and shot at him . As he was escaping the blaster shots of the Twi ' lek ' s husband , Syn met up with Nyna Calixte , in her guise as Morrigan Code . Corde , riding a swoop , asked Syn if he knew of her son ' s whereabouts . Syn told her that he had been told that Skywalker left the bar with a blonde woman , who Corde had identified as Gunn Yage . Corde explained that she and Yage were assigned to Tatooine for the purpose of looking for the people responsible for Imperial cargo thefts , and asked Syn if he and Skywalker knew anything about that . Syn confirmed that it was the Mynock crew stealing the cargo from Black Sun , who were stealing the cargo from the Imperials . Using the signal from Yage ' s comm device , the pair set out to track Skywalker and Yage . A sudden sandstorm slowed their progress , and while they waited for the storm to pass , the pair discussed Skywalker , Yage , and their mutual hatred for the Sith . After the storm passed , Syn and Corde came upon the Blood Carver assassin Ku Vrat — - one of a trio of assassins sent by Black Sun Vigo Lun Rask to eliminate Yage and Skywalker for meddling in his affairs . Corde exchanged blows with Vrat , and even poisoned him with a dart hidden in her wristband , but the Blood Carver overpowered her . Just as Vrat was about to land the killing Blow , Syn attacked Vrat with razor bugs , killing him . The pair met up with Yage and Skywalker , who had emerged from their hiding place having killed one of the remaining assassins and held the third , Nakia Yoru , as a captive . Syn attempted to introduce Skywalker to his mother , but Skywalker was less than enthusiastic at the prospect of the reunion . Syn listened while Corde berated Yage for not following the orders she gave her earlier , and ordered Yage to look for evidence that Imperial Moff Gromia , the head of Arkanis sector , was in collusion with Black Sun over the theft of the Imperial shipments . Syn watched as Yage left , and along with Corde and Skywalker , took over Nakia ' s ship and forced her to take them to Lun Rask . Syn , Corde , and Skywalker , along with Nakia , met with Rask in his headquarters at Kaer Station . The group confronted Rask about his deal with Moff Gromia , and Skywalker offered Rask a deal ; he and his crew would do to other Black Sun Vigos what he was doing to Rask in return for a cut of the profits . Rask agreed to the deal , but Corde shot Rask , killing him . In a fit of anger , Skywalker Force choked his mother , and Syn talked him out of killing her . Still enraged at his mother , Skywalker and Syn left the base without Corde . Back on Tatooine , Blue had successfully obtained a trivalve for the Mynock and the crew left Tatooine . Wayland . Having left Tatooine , the crew arrived on Zeltros and visited the Hutt cantina owner Jool ' s new entertainment establishment , Paradise . Their period of relaxation was interrupted by Rav , who had tracked them to Zeltros with the purpose of hiring the crew for a job . Rav offered the crew a million credits if they would exterminate a pest that was posing some problems for one of Rav ' s associates . Skywalker accepted the deal on the terms that the crew get 80 % of the cut , but was upset to learn that the destination of the bounty was Wayland , the first test site of his father Kol ' s doomed Ossus Project . Upon arriving on Wayland , the crew were attacked by the feral remnants of the Yuuzhan Vong biots from the Ossus Project . While fighting the biots , Syn noted that these biots were not unlike the ones he studied under his Yuuzhan Vong weapons master from the " Crimson Axe " , Chonyo , except that these ones had gone " freaky " . Skywalker explained to Syn and Blue that the Ossus Project was a collaboration between his father and the Yuuzhan Vong shapers to restore life to the planets devastated by the Yuuzhan Vong War . Wayland was chosen as the first test site , and for six months the planet appeared to have thrived under the care of the shapers . However , Sith sabotage via the Vongspawn virus drove the biots mad and turned all life on the planet except for the Jedi and the Yuuzhan Vong shapers into feral Vongspawn , making it appear as though the Jedi and the shapers were responsible . Syn worried that the virus was still contagious , but Skywalker assured him that it was most likely not . It was at this point that Vongspawned members of the native Myneyrsh population attacked the crew , took Blue captive and knocked Syn and Skywalker unconscious via a near - lethal scream from a local Vongformed creature . Syn was rescued by Fionah Ti , the non - Force sensitive daughter of Jedi assigned to Zonama Sekot . Upon waking Syn attacked Ti , but after subduing him she informed him that the Vongspawn took Blue , and that Skywalker was missing and possibly dead . When Syn scoffed at the suggestion that Skywalker was dead , Ti recognized the name and explained that when she was sent to live with her parents on Zonama Sekot , she learned the shaper arts . Years later , she was assigned to Wayland to find proof that the Sith sabotaged the Ossus Project and to fix some of the damage . Upon hearing Ti ' s story , Syn swore and assumed that Ti was the bounty the crew had been hired to find . While Ti expressed surprise and confusion at Syn ' s claims , an amphistaff had appeared behind her . Speaking in the Yuuzhan Vong , Syn calmed the amphistaff and claimed it for himself , giving it the name Heartstriker . Ti was impressed by Syn ' s feat , and offered to work alongside him to find Skywalker and Blue . Ti lead Syn to an abandoned Yuuzhan Vong laboratory , stating that it was likely that Skywalker and Blue were being held inside . . Zabrak Jedi Master Wolf Sazen , who was lead to Wayland by visions of Skywalker through the Force , encountered the pair and helped them gain entrance . The trio fought against the Sith - aligned Yuuzhan Vong shaper Zenoc Quah and his creations , with Syn attacking Quah with Heartstriker in order to protect Ti . Inside the laboratory , Skywalker had an encounter with Sith Lord Darth Maladi . Skywalker discovered that it was Maladi who was Rav ' s " business associate " , and that the bounty was nothing more than an attempt to lure Skywalker into her hands . As part of her plan , it was Maladi who set up the Myneyrshi attack and the capture of Blue , knowing that Skywalker would come to rescue her . The pair had a confrontation , which ended with Maladi setting off the fortress ' s self - destruct mechanism . Maladi had fled the scene by the time Syn , Sazen and Ti entered the room , with Ti attempting to shut down the self - destruct mechanism while Syn urged Skywalker to grab Blue and run . Skywalker refused , and Sazen instructed Skywalker to use the light side of the Force to heal Blue , who had a Vongspawn implanted onto her back by Maladi . Skywalker urged them all to flee while he attempted to heal Blue ; Sazen told Syn to listen to Skywalker , as it was the Force speaking to Skywalker . While fleeing , Syn yelled at Skywalker not to kill himself or to let Blue die . With tears in his eyes , Syn watched as the laboratory exploded . A few moments later , Skywalker emerged from the wreckage carrying a healed Blue in his arms . An elated Syn joined them , with Skywalker assuring Syn that Blue was going to be alright . Hunting Vul Isen . With Blue saved , Cade decided to wage war against the Sith . The first person on Cade ' s list was Vul Isen , the " Butcher of Dac . " With the help of Naxy Screeger , the crew of the " Mynock " learned of Isen ' s laboratory on Daluuj . Upon storming the base , the team fought through waves of stormtroopers and Sith Acolytes , only to find Isen himself missing . While Cade and Sazen interrogated the final surviving Sith , Blue , Artoo , and Jariah began planting explosives . Syn noticed Cade ' s anger at the Sith was burning even greater now . When the last surviving Sith yielded no information on Isen ' s whereabouts , Blue and the crew immediately departed , leaving him there to be killed when the base detonated moments later . As Jariah flew the " Mynock " into space , unaware of its next destination , the Force ghost of Luke Skywalker appeared and began to converse with Cade . When Syn expressed confusion , Cade rhetorically remarked that he couldn ' t see the apparition , to which both Jariah and Luke responded with no . Luke disappeared , and Cade retorted that he was not crazy . Syn then received a message from Queen Jool , who asked the crew to meet her and other Hutt leaders on Nal Hutta in the headquarters of Vedo Anjiliac Atirue , leader of the Anjiliac Atirue . Arriving at the adopted Hutt homeworld , the crew by chance found Screeger , who was working as Vedo ' s gatekeeper . He attempted to gain payment for the intelligence surrounding Daluuj , but Cade refused as Isen was not there . The Sakiyan then stopped the group from entering to see the Hutt . Skywalker reminded him that they were invited , but Screeger corrected him , saying only " he " was invited . With the press of a button , a door slammed from the ceiling , separating Cade from his companions . Syn , Blue , and Sazen turned to see security droids aiming at them . As Syn and Blue prepared to engage , the Jedi Master stopped them , saying that if the Hutts wanted them dead , they already would be . The three then anxiously waited Cade ' s return from his meeting with Vedo and Jool . When he did return , Blue asked if he was okay , and Cade responded that he was and that the Hutts had tasked him with killing Isen on Utapau . Upon docking in Pau City , Syn , Blue , and Artoo met with Lieutenant Ona Antilles to discuss weapon sales to the Galactic Alliance Remnant , allowing Cade and Sazen to sneak away undetected . After Syn ' s flirtations and some further discussion , Admiral Gar Stazi himself appeared to negotiate . Informed by Cade that Isen had sent assassins after Stazi , Blue and Syn kept their eyes open . Nevertheless , the crew did need some extra credits , and the deal continued seriously , with Blue attempting to use her Zeltron ways to seduce the Admiral . Jariah suddenly noticed a guard raise his blaster towards the Duros , and immediately slashed him with Heartstriker as Blue tackled Stazi out of harm ' s way . He was grateful in their help for saving his life and that of his staff , but told them he did not intend on softening the deal . Elsewhere in the city , Sazen killed Darth Azard while Skywalker slew Vul Isen , saving Stazi and all of Utapau for the moment from the Sith threat . War . Back on the " Mynock " , Syn and Blue questioned Skywalker ' s belief that Krayt had indeed returned . Even if he had come back , they wondered why Cade even cared . Cade told them that the Force willed him to do so , and they just couldn ' t understand . He told them that he wouldn ' t hold it against them if they chose not accompany him , but they promply stated they trusted him and would follow him anywhere . Krayt had indeed returned , and after killing Darth Wyyrlok and resuming control of the One Sith , brought the galaxy to war . Blue flew the " Mynock " during an attack on the " Darklight " , an " Imperious " - class Star Destroyer sent to Falleen to bombard the planet . They were joined by Rogue Squadron , sent by Admiral Stazi to aid in defense of the planet . Following the battle , Syn accompanied Alliance pilot Anj Dahl somewhere for a drink while Skywalker and Blue met with Stazi personally on his flagship . Syn later accompanied Cade and Blue to the Wheel to rendezvous with Morrigan Corde . When Nyna Calixte appeared , Syn quickly took her by the throat and placed a blaster by her head , telling her he wanted revenge for torturing him and Blue after Secorro . However , Calixte revealed the Skywalker holo and her identity as Morrigan Corde , and the pair left Cade to deal with his mother alone . Following the pair ' s return to the ship , the group prepared to depart for the Jedi Hidden Temple when they were attacked by Darth Talon . Swiftly repelling her , the four found Antares Draco frozen in carbonite on the " Mynock " . Discovering the Hidden Temple ' s location was compromised , Syn sprinted out to send a priority warning code and get the ship to the Temple . The group returned to Taivas , shortly before the Sith launched an all - out assault on the Hidden Temple . As Cade fought with the other Jedi and Imperial Knights on the ground , Syn , Blue , and Corde flew the " Mynock " in the aerial battle . Unfortunately , although much of the Temple was composed of starships and thus able able to escape , the Council chambers , where Cade , Nat Skywalker , and T ' ra Saa still remained , were not . As a crashing Sith ship spiraled towards the building , Rawk used the Force to save his nephew one final time , and defenstrated him into the lake . Focusing their energy , Rawk and Saa sent a beam of light skyward , creating a gap in the Sith blockade for a speedy evacuation to commence . Syn and Blue found Cade in the lake and descended to pick him up . As he leaped on board , one of Darth Krayt ' s Sith trooper s boarded as well , although with the help of Morrigan Corde , the Sith was quickly knocked unconscious and taken captive . Jariah then sped the " Mynock " towards Bastion to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet . Freedom . The " Mynock " and the allied fleets returned to Bastion . There , Jariah confronted his best friend about everything that had happened . Cade blamed himself for getting his uncle and many of his friends killed , but Syn told him that they all lost their lives not for him , but for the good of the galaxy . Cade told Jariah that he alone needed to face Krayt , no matter the cost . Syn expressed his support , and pledged he would get him there . Afterwards , it was decided to launch an attack on the now vulnerable Coruscant in hope of killing Krayt . It was decided that a small strike team infiltrate the capital and disable the planet ' s orbital defenses . Despite some reluctance from Morrigan Corde , Blue and Syn successfully smuggled the team onto the capital ' s surface in the " Mynock " . The strike force succeeded in crippling Coruscant ' s defenses just as the Allied fleet emerged from hyperspace , and the Syn and Blue took off to assist them . At the team ' s extraction point , Morrigan Corde commed the " Mynock " , asking about the Cade ' s location . Syn replied that he and the others had headed to the Temple of the Sith to face Darth Krayt . The " Mynock " was then struck by an ion blast , frying the engines and sending it plummeting towards the planet ' s surface in a fiery wreck . Syn and Blue managed to survive the impact , however , as the " Mynock " found a place to " crash gently . " The pair and Artoo were busy with repairs when they received a message from Corde , who informed them of Krayt ' s death by Cade ' s hands . She instructed them to get airborne , however , as Cade was taking the body to Coruscant ' s sun , intent on incinerating both of them to ensure Krayt would never return . Before he took her ship , Corde gave her son a locket containing a holo of herself , Cade and his father , but also a tracer so they could find him . Quite a while later , the three eventually got the " Mynock " running again and shot towards Coruscant Prime . As they approached the star , they found Skywalker floating in space . Syn remarked that he had to be alive , seeing how he survived the first time he found Cade in space . R2 - D2 jettisoned outside and pulled him into the ship , where Syn and Blue discovered he was not breathing ; Cade Skywalker was dead . As the two mourned the loss of their best friend , Blue gave her love a kiss and professed her love for him . Cade ' s body then immediately awoke and kissed her back , informing the pair that he had gone into a Jedi hibernation trance like he did over Ossus . Reunited with his friends , Cade told Jariah set course for a distant place where they could all move forward and be in peace . Triumvirate . Folloowing the defeat of the One Sith and their Galactic Empire , a new Galactic Federation Triumvirate , consisting of the Imperial court , the Jedi High Council , and the Galactic Alliance was formed . By 140 ABY , Jariah Syn and his companions Cade Skywalker and Deliah Blue were traveling through the galaxy . That year , Syn met the Mon Calamari engineer Sauk , who was trying to procure a stabilizing coil for his companion , the assassin droid AG - 37 ' s freighter . While Sauk was unhappy at having to fork out a large amount of credits to pay for the coil , he reluctantly agreed to buy it after Jariah pointed out that it was difficult to obtain a new coil in this star system . Syn and his companions were delighted at the credits they had been able to make that day . Syn ' s sale came at an opportune moment for Sauk and his friends . Shortly later , Sauk and his companions AG - 37 , the junk dealer Ania Solo , and the former Imperial Knight Jao Assam were attacked . Personality and traits . A very pragmatic man and a weapons expert , Syn was known for using unconventional and sometimes illegal weapons , such as Yuuzhan Vong thud bugs and razor bug s , having been taught how to use them by Chonyo , a Yuuzhan Vong crewmember on the " Crimson Axe " . He was not a merciful man , and had no problem bringing in a bounty dead ( rather than alive ) , reasoning that a dead bounty was a " sure thing . " Syn looked out first and foremost for himself , and often clashed with Cade Skywalker over the latter ' s leadership . Despite any misgivings Syn may have had about Skywalker ' s plans , he was loyal to his friend . Having grown up together on the " Crimson Axe " , Syn considered Skywalker a brother , and used that bond to reach him when Skywalker would behave irrationally . Syn has talked Skywalker into coming back from the edge of the dark side , serving as the voice of reason while trying to stop Skywalker from hurting Ahnah Rawk or from Force choking Morrigan Corde to death . Although done so after the fact , Syn also pointed out how selfish Skywalker ' s motives were for killing Darth Krayt and saving the life of Azlyn Rae . Aside from Skywalker , Syn also cared about Deliah Blue , the Zeltron mechanic of the Mynock and Skywalker ' s on / off lover . When Syn thought them both dead in an explosion on Wayland , he cried . Due to witnessing his father ' s death at the hands of the Cathar Jedi Rasi Tuum , as well as the influence of Rav , Syn developed a hatred for Jedi . Syn grew up believing that Jedi could take control of people ' s minds and make them kill themselves . Upon discovering that his friend Cade Skywalker — who he grew up with and considered a brother — was once a Jedi , Syn felt hurt and betrayed and threatened Skywalker with a blaster . Despite his anger at Skywalker , Syn refused to divulge any info about Skywalker to agents of Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire , even after being tortured and implanted with coral seeds . With the help of Deliah Blue , Syn later came to terms with the fact that Skywalker used to be a Jedi . During a trip to the Hidden Jedi Temple , Syn also came to terms with his father ' s death after hearing Rasi Tuum ' s side of the story and began to let go of all the preconceived notions Rav had implanted into him over the years . Syn loved to get drunk , womanize and gamble . He would often spend all of his share of the credits on drinks and developed an addiction to gambling ; Blue often chided him for spending or losing too much money . Syn also loved causing explosions , which he referred to as " boom " ; he himself stated that he " lived for ' boom ' " . Besides Basic , Syn also knows the Huttese language , which he uses interchangeably with Basic . He also learned the Yuuzhan Vong from his time with Chonyo on the " Crimson Axe " . Relationships . Ahnah Rawk . Syn met Ahnah Rawk , the adopted daughter of Skywalker ' s uncle Rawk , during one of Skywalker ' s visits at his uncle ' s residence . Around 135 ABY , when Rawk was 16 , Syn tried to seduce her . Rawk was furious at Syn for attempting to seduce his daughter and shot at the " Mynock " while they were leaving the Rawk residence . In 137 ABY , Syn and Skywalker got into a non - stop fighting spree while on the planet Kiffex . Their fighting caught the attention of the Kiffu Guardians , of which Rawk was now a junior member . Rawk attempted to arrest both Syn and her cousin , who was close to the dark side . To protect both Rawk and Skywalker , Syn stepped in between them and managed to calm Skywalker down . When Rawk again attempted to arrest the pair , Syn kissed her while at the same time sedating her with a Yuuzhan Vong bioweapon he placed on her neck . Syn felt very guilty at deceiving Rawk , even apologizing to her after she fell asleep . Whether due to family loyalty or her feelings for Syn , Rawk did not take Skywalker and Syn into custody when she awoke , a mistake Syn felt would cost her in the long run . When Bantha ordered the " Mynock " crew off of Kiffex because Skywalker lied to Bantha ' s wife , Rawk watched them fly off with tears in her eyes . Equipment . As a weapons master , Syn made extensive use of illegal Yuuzhan Vong bioweapons . He has been noted to use thud bugs , razor bug s , the unknown weapon used to render Ahnah Rawk unconscious , and an amphistaff on Wayland he named Heartstriker . Among the other things Syn carried in his arsenal included a sporting blaster carbine , a blaster pistol , a comlink , a tool kit , a utility belt , binder cuffs , and mesh tape . Syn was also proficient in explosives such as thermal detonators , which tied into his love for explosions . Behind the scenes . Jariah Syn was created by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema , and made his first out - of - universe appearance in " Star Wars Insider # 87 " . His first in - universe appearance was in " " . Except for the cover of " " , where he was depicted by Adam Hughes , Jariah Syn has been illustrated by Jan Duursema in all his appearances in the " Legacy " comic .
