When a group of Flesh Raiders under the leadership of a Human Dark Jedi named Callef attacked the region known as the Tythonian Gnarls , a Jedi apprentice fought and defeated Callef . Having witnessed the apprentice ' s skill , Jedi Master Orgus Din took the young Jedi on as his own Padawan , and sent the apprentice to Kalikori to see if the villagers had noticed anything strange lately .

Sumari would have continued the conversation , but her illness had taxed her strength too much , and she was forced to retire .
