In 3964 BBY , he and his fellow Revanchist Jedi , who were led by the Jedi Knight Revan , participated in a scouting mission in the Outer Rim . Ferroh and the Jedi were ambushed by the Mandalorians before the Fourth battle of Suurja , and they were taken to Flashpoint Station , where they were tortured by the Mandalorian scientist Demagol . Ferroh and his companions were eventually rescued from captivity by the Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick , the Mandalorian turncoat Rohlan Dyre , and the other crew of the starship " Last Resort " . While accompanying the other Revanchists on his homeworld of Cathar , Ferroh and the Jedi felt the Mandalorian ' s destruction of the planet Serroco through the Force . Eventually , a team of Jedi met with the Revanchists on Cathar on behalf of the Jedi High Council and ordered them to disband permanently . However , all the Jedi present experienced a vision of the Mandalorians murdering the Cathar . The Jedi Council still did not give Revan ' s Jedi their full support , but Ferroh and the Revanchists were able to participate in the war after Revan organized his followers under the banner of the Republic Mercy Corps . Biography . Early life and Jedi training . The Cathar male Ferroh was born on the planet Cathar during the period after the Great Sith War . He eventually left his homeworld to undergo training in the ways of the Jedi Order , and later returned to Cathar to discover that all of his people had vanished . The Galactic Republic assumed that the Cathar had migrated due to a disease , but Ferroh learned from Cathar refugees offworld that the Mandalorians , who had hated the Cathar species since the Great Sith War , had beleaguered the planet . Ferroh became convinced that the Mandalorians were responsible for his people ' s disappearance . Mandalorian Wars . Flashpoint Station . When the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders launched an assault on the Republic and started the Mandalorian Wars , the Jedi Knights Revan and Alek were eager to defeat the invading forces . However , the Jedi Council urged the Jedi to be patient and strictly forbade action against the Mandalorians , feeling that the true threat had not yet emerged . Revan would not be dissuaded , however , and both he and Alek believed that the Order operated too slowly and exercised excessive caution in its decisions . Alek was the first to join Revan ' s movement , known as the Revanchist s , and other Jedi , including Ferroh , soon followed . In the year 3964 BBY , Ferroh was among a group of Jedi that chose to take a more proactive role in the ongoing war by participating in a scouting mission along the Outer Rim , just prior to the Mandalorian invasion of Republic space . Led by Revan , Ferroh and his fellow Jedi investigated the Mandalorian threat along the Republic border against the wishes of the Jedi Council . Ferroh and the Revanchists were left behind on the planet Suurja while Revan departed to investigate events on Onderon and its jungle moon , Dxun . Ferroh , along with the other Jedi , was captured in an ambush before the Fourth battle of Suurja by the Mandalorians and was taken to Flashpoint Station , an old Republic research station that the Mandalorians had captured . The Jedi were tortured there by the Mandalorian scientist Demagol , who was attempting to divine the source and nature of the Jedi ' s Force abilities . Shortly after the Mandalorians attacked the planet Vanquo , the Mandalorian station gained another prisoner , the female Arkanian offshoot named Jarael , to whom Ferroh explained her location and how he and his fellow Jedi had been previously captured by the Mandalorians . After Alek came out of a torture session with Demagol , Ferroh and the other Jedi attempted to help him stand up , though Alek assured them that he was all right . Eventually , the fugitive Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick and the crew of the starship " Last Resort " arrived on the station to rescue Jarael . Carrick pretended to be captured by the rogue Mandalorian Rohlan Dyre and was taken in Jarael ' s stead to be tortured by Demagol ; when Dyre emerged with Demagol , actually Carrick in disguise , they announced that Carrick was dead . Shortly after this , the Mandalorians were tricked into leaving the station during a false " Republic attack " masterminded by the Snivvian con artist Marn Hierogryph , one of Carrick ' s companions . Before they left the station with the incapacitated Demagol in their custody , Ferroh managed to find Carrick ' s lightsaber , returning it to the Padawan . " En route " to the galactic capital , however , Demagol fell into a drug - induced coma and could not be awakened to stand trial for his crimes . In actuality , Demagol had awoken , drugged Rohlan Dyre , and switched armors with the Mandalorian deserter in order to travel with Jarael , Carrick , and their companions . Vision on Cathar . While he and the Revanchists were on the planet Cathar to investigate the truth about the massacre that had taken place there , Ferroh , Alek , Revan , and the other Jedi felt death in the Force when the Mandalorians unleashed a devastating nuclear attack on Serroco . Eventually , Alek , now going by the name " Malak , " returned from Coruscant after testifying against the secret organization called the Jedi Covenant on Zayne Carrick ' s behalf . Following Malak ' s return , a team of Jedi loyal to the Council , led by Jedi Master Vrook Lamar , met with Revan , Ferroh , Malak , and the Revanchists . They ordered the group to disband permanently , believing that the Mandalorians were not a threat and that nothing warranted the Jedi ' s involvement in the Mandalorian Wars . During the discussion , Revan noticed a Mandalorian mask underneath his own feet and picked it up . When the light struck the mask , all the Jedi experienced a vision of the past of Mandalorians driving hordes of the Cathar into the sea . A Mandalorian female , to whom the mask in Revan ' s hands belonged , tried to convince Cassus Fett — the Mandalorian who had led the attack on the planet — that the Cathar were defeated and did not all need to be killed . However , Fett refused to stand down , saying that the Cathar left a stain of dishonor amongst the " Mando ' ade " and that he intended to wash that stain clean by committing genocide . Fett then ordered the planet ' s devastation , killing the Cathar and the Mandalorian female . After the vision ended , Revan became enraged , shouting that the Mandalorians ' massacre of the already beaten Cathar had not been warranted . Recognizing that the lone Mandalorian female knew that the genocide had been wrong , Revan decided to take up her cause of protecting innocents from unnecessary destruction . As Ferroh , Malak , and the other Jedi watched , Revan donned the Mandalorian female ' s mask , vowing not to remove it until there was justice against the Mandalorians — specifically , their defeat . Despite knowing the truth of what had happened on Cathar , the Jedi still did not give their full support to Revan . However , with Revan ' s reorganization of the Revanchists under the banner of a Republic Mercy Corps , the Jedi Council allowed Revan , Malak , Ferroh , and their like - minded comrades to participate in the Mandalorian Wars . Reunion on Wor Tandell . Ferroh eventually went to the planet Wor Tandell , along with Malak and the Republic Captain Telettoh , to search for Zayne Carrick — who had been found innocent of the crimes charged against him — and his friends . He found Carrick in Wor Tandell ' s capital town , Gantra Lea , and introduced Telettoh to the former Padawan . Carrick expressed his relief , stating that he had thought that Ferroh was in the Captain ' s custody . When Carrick expressed his disbelief to Ferroh ' s announcement of the Jedi ' s involvement in the Mandalorian Wars , Ferroh told the former Jedi of his past , and of the vision he and the Revanchists had experienced on Cathar . Ferroh , Carrick , and Telettoh eventually made their way to Carrick ' s camp . There , they found Malak , who was trying to convince Jarael to join him and the Revanchists , fighting Demagol — whom both Jedi believed to be Rohlan Dyre . Ferroh and Telettoh broke up the fight between Malak and Demagol when the former defeated the latter . After Malak briefly conversed with Jarael and Carrick , Ferroh , Malak , and Telettoh left the planet to continue fighting the war . Eventually , Rohlan Dyre — whom Malak , Ferroh , and the Republic still believed to be Demagol because of the armor switch — came out of his drug - induced coma and stood trial on Coruscant for Demagol ' s crimes against the Republic . Sometime after the trial ended , Malak learned that " Demagol " had not made it back to his holding cell , and Ferroh assisted Malak in the search for the scientist on Coruscant . Although both the real Demagol and the Crucible slavery organization were defeated on the planet Osadia by Rohlan Dyre , Jarael , and Carrick , the search for Demagol was not called off by the Republic authorities . Personality and traits . The Cathar male Ferroh wore brown Jedi robes and used a lightsaber containing a blue crystal . When he returned to his homeworld , Cathar refugees told him that the Mandalorians had harassed the planet before , causing him to suspect that the Mandalorians had something to do with the Cathar species ' disappearance . In 3964 BBY , Ferroh was among a number of Jedi who were eager to defend the Republic when the Mandalorians attacked . Ferroh was willing to defy the Jedi Council ' s orders during the war in the face of the Revanchists ' cause by participating in a scouting mission on the Republic ' s behalf . After the Jedi Council sanctioned the Revanchists ' involvement in the war , he was excited to relate the Council ' s decision to Zayne Carrick . Ferroh was courteous enough to inform Jarael that she was in Flashpoint Station when she arrived there , and he also attempted to assist Malak when the latter returned from a torture session with Demagol . He expressed his gratitude to Carrick after the fugitive Jedi and his companions rescued him and the other captive Jedi from the Mandalorians . While he and the Revanchists were on Cathar searching for evidence of the Mandalorian atrocities , Ferroh , along with his fellow Jedi , were persistent and did not give up in their efforts to find this information . Following Malak ' s defeat of Demagol , who was believed to be Rohlan Dyre , Ferroh did not agree with Malak ' s actions when he continued to fight Demagol . He argued this point to his fellow Jedi as he and Telettoh restrained Malak from inflicting further damage on the Mandalorian . Powers and abilities . Ferroh was sensitive to the Force and was deemed suitable for Jedi training . While on Cathar with the Revanchists , Ferroh felt the Mandalorians ' devastation of the planet Serroco through the Force . He later witnessed a vision of the Mandalorians ' slaughter of the Cathar people . Behind the scenes . Ferroh was created by John Jackson Miller , the writer of the .
