Vandar Tokare Vandar Tokare was a male Jedi Master of Yoda ' s species who was the head of the Dantooine Jedi Enclave Council during the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War , holding a seat on both the Jedi High Council and the Council of the Jedi academy during this time span . He was friends with fellow Council member Vrook Lamar , usually having the last word in their frequent disagreements , most notably on the choice to train Revan once again in the ways of the Jedi after his fall to the dark side of the Force . During the Conclave at Katarr , Tokare was killed along with many survivors of the First Jedi Purge and the entire Miraluka colony after the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus drained the Force from the planet ' s surface . Biography . Tokare took Derrica Praji and another person as Jedi Padawans and trained them on Ossus . In 4225 BBY Tokare and his two apprentices traveled to the world Kaikielius , where they led Galactic Republic troops during the Kaikieli Reconquista , a campaign to retake Kaikielius from criminals . For three months , Tokare led attacks on most criminal - infested cities and was eventually victorious . Prior to the Mandalorian Wars , Tokare had a conversation with Vrook Lamar concerning Meetra Surik . She had yet to achieve the title of Jedi Knight , but a Master had already been assigned to her , and her talent with Force bond ing had already begun to manifest itself . Master Lamar had low views on anyone who followed Revan , but even before the war , he deemed Surik a mediocre Jedi and believed her talent was uncontrolled because of lust for power , and that it would eventually lead her to the dark side . When he caught Surik in a heated argument with his Padawan , Lamar first asked her Master to lecture her about discipline , without success , then he expected Master Tokare to step in , but he wouldn ' t either . Though respecting Lamar ' s wisdom , Tokare told him that it was not his concern , and he voiced a divergent opinion on Surik , whom he saw as a natural leader with a unique strength . This conversation was recorded by a protocol droid serving at the Jedi Enclave . Years later , in 3951 BBY , for the first time since she went to war , Surik would return to Dantooine . She met this droid in a battered state , its memory banks corrupted , but after indulging in some maintenance , she found a partially degraded holorecord of Lamar and Tokare speaking about her . Mandalorian Wars . In the years leading up to the Mandalorian invasion of the Galactic Republic during the Mandalorian Wars , Master Tokare taught many pupils , and by 3964 BBY he was the leading Master of the Jedi Enclave . Zayne Carrick , who had been a student of his before being apprenticed to Lucien Draay , sought the help of Master Tokare in the wake of the Padawan Massacre of Taris , for which he had been framed . The fugitive Padawan contacted him from " The Last Resort " and disclosed the details of what occurred in the Jedi Tower when his fellow students Shad Jelavan , Kamlin , Oojoh , and Gharn were all killed during their Knighting ceremony . Distraught , Tokare asked him how could he have murdered those he grew up with . Carrick tried to explain that he barely escaped the same fate , as he was chased by those he found standing among their corpses with their lightsabers drawn , their own teachers , Jedi Masters Feln , Q ' Anilia , Raana Tey , Xamar , and Draay himself . But Tokare found hard to even contemplate that Draay , who was the scion of an important family , both in the Republic and in the Jedi Order , could be responsible for such a thing . Instead , he pondered aloud if Carrick himself may have committed the crime , and subconsciously erased it from his mind . When Carrick called the Enclave , Tokare was in a meeting with fellow Council members Zhar Lestin , Lamar , and Bala Nisi . He asked Lestin about any Jedi Consular s serving on Taris and was surprised to hear that , save Draay , all Jedi stationed there were Consulars , which was unusual . Nevertheless , he told Carrick that if he turned himself in , one of those Jedi could probe his mind and help him find the truth . Just as Carrick pointed out that those were the ones trying to kill him , the transmission got cut by Jarael , who struck Carrick from behind and knocked him unconscious . A dependable Master . Within weeks since the murders , Carrick decided to turn himself in so as to relieve his new companions of the trouble he had brought upon them . In the Council chamber of the Jedi Enclave , Tokare watched him on a news hologram as he was brought in chains to the Jedi Tower . However , before he could be killed by Draay , Carrick was rescued by Jarael and escaped once again . The Masters of Taris was then contacted by the Dantooine Jedi Enclave Council and recalled to Coruscant to explain themselves . As they stood judgment before the High Council , a stern Vrook Lamar would reprimand the five for allowing the deaths of their students , and he would remind them of a recurrent counsel of Tokare ' s about being protectors as much as teachers . Master Tokare instead regretted he did not listen to Lamar ' s counsel when he expressed disapproval of assigning students to them uneager teachers , feeling now that perhaps that reluctance was , in fact , wisdom . When Raana Tey hired the Moomo Brothers to stalk Carrick ' s father , bank er Arvan Carrick , Master Tokare welcomed his family to Dantooine for as long as they liked , and let Arvan Carrick work for the Jedi Enclave . Despite Dantooine not offering much in the way of financial opportunities , Master Tokare was surprised to hear of his request , which was really to let Carrick ' s mind be at peace with the well - being of his loved ones , while he did what he could to clear his name . Arvan Carrick justified it with the fact that Carrick always spoke of Tokare as of someone he could trust , and that trust meant a lot in banking . Chasing Shadows . At some point , Lucien Draay was offered a seat on the Jedi High Council as a result of the influence of his family and the manipulations of his former teacher , the shadow leader of the Jedi Covenant , Haazen . Lamar and Tokare agreed to this if only to keep a closer look at him and find the truth about the Padawan Massacre . Tokare found his rise to power rather suspicious and felt someone else was behind it , but he could not tell who or why . Haazen was really safe from Tokare ' s grasp in the Living Force , as he relied on a Sith artifact known as the Yoke of Seeming to prevent Jedi from perceiving his intentions . After the deaths of Feln and Raana Tey , Tokare received a transmission from Shel Jelavan , the sister of one of the victims . He was informed by her of what took place on Jebble when Covenant Shadow Celeste Morne , a rogue Jedi under Lucien Draay ' s orders , unleashed a powerful dark side artifact which caused the Rakghoul plague ; and he agreed to meet Jelavan in a cantina on Coruscant , where he was to ask for " Captain Malak . " The bank Arvan Carrick worked for was co - owned by the Draay Trust , a corporation from which half the members of the Jedi High Council received funds for their charitable causes . With his help , Master Tokare discovered that the true extent of their financial power and influence within the Jedi Order was indeed more than enough to make possible the creation of Jedi Shadow s . Though being very skeptical on this matter , Master Lamar accompanied him to the meeting , and when Tokare made the name of his contact they found that Captain Malak was none other than Jedi Knight Alek , Revan ' s most trusted lieutenant , who had come to Coruscant with Jelavan on Carrick ' s behalf , even though an arrest warrant had been issued on Revanchist s , by the Council , on Lucien Draay ' s request . Jelavan told the Masters what happened on Taris , when Raana Tey revealed that the head of the Jedi Covenant was Krynda Draay , a Sage Master , and one of the few remaining heroes of the Great Sith War . However , even when Alek told them that Carrick was bringing a collection of Sith artifacts from a repository on Odryn as evidence to expose the Covenant and clear his name , Master Lamar said that it was not enough to bring the matter before the Council . He and Tokare realized that if they were to accuse Krynda Draay , the Order would be torn apart , as she had been training Jedi for thirty years after the war , without the supervision of the Council , and retained their allegiance . When Carrick landed and gave the signal , they set off to meet him . Just as Master Tokare came to the conclusion that one of the Masters of the Covenant needed to speak up , Xamar stepped forward , ready to confess . After the events of Vindication , the Council offered to reinstate Carrick into the Order as a Jedi Knight . But Carrick decided he ' d rather look out for people who fell beneath the Order ' s notice and declined the offer . Jedi Civil War . During the Jedi Civil War that followed the Mandalorian Wars , Tokare oversaw the training of Revan after he was stripped of his memory by the Jedi Council . He was also the one who assigned Revan and Shan to hunt down the Star Map s that would lead to the Star Forge . Having survived Darth Malak ' s attack on Dantooine , Master Tokare participated in the Battle of Rakata Prime , acting as an adviser alongside Admiral Forn Dodonna . After the battle , it was Tokare who proclaimed Revan to be truly redeemed , thus reinstating his former rank of Jedi Knight and also proclaiming him as the " Prodigal Knight . " Death . In 3952 BBY Jedi Master Atris called a Jedi Conclave under the strict agreement of secrecy on the Mid Rim world of Katarr , where the few Jedi who escaped the First Jedi Purge hoped that in communion with the Force - sensitive Miraluka , they would be able to identify the elusive Sith threat that was ending them . Many Jedi , including Tokare , attended the meeting , not knowing that Atris had secretly leaked knowledge of the gathering in the hopes that the enemy would reveal themselves . Ruled by his hunger , Darth Nihilus was drawn from the Unknown Regions and fed upon all life on the planet , making the Jedi all but extinct , thus killing Tokare . Tokare ' s death would be related to Meetra Surik on Dantooine by his long - time friend Lamar , who had not gone to Katarr , and was still unaware of why or how he had died . Surik would learn later on how Atris had even felt what could happen , and still not warned the Jedi , choosing instead to stay safely away and watch . Legacy . By the time of the Cold War , Vandar Tokare ' s wisdom , knowledge , and personality had been preserved in one of the great Noetikon s , an interactive Holocron and a treasured artifact of the Jedi Order . Out of the three Noetikons , Tokare had been stored in the Noetikon of Science alongside Masters Tharis Orne and Arca Jeth . Tokare and the other Gatekeepers of the Noetikons were able to help in finding a cure for the Scorekeeper ' s Herald , a Jedi Consular whose Master , Yuon Par , had been inflicted with a maddening illness that was slowly turning her to the dark side .
