Heskal Heskal was a Human Male from the planet Zakuul who was the leader of the Scions of Zakuul , a subgroup of the Knights of Zakuul that specialized in Force visions and were obsessed with the idea of fate . Biography . In 3637 BBY , Heskal approached Prince Arcann in the corridor leading to the Eternal Throne room as the prince was bringing his two captives , Darth Marr and the Outlander , to meet his father . Arcann mocked Heskal for his belief that a catastrophe that the Scions foresaw was coming to the Eternal Empire . Heskal stated that though he did not want to hear it , fate could not be silenced . Arcann thus threatened Heskal and ordered him to take his superstitions aside . After Emperor Arcann ordered the massacre of the Scions around the time of his ascension to the throne of the Eternal Empire , Heskal , still leading the Scions , was among the few Scions who escaped the purge and settled in an enclave on the shadowport Asylum . In 3632 BBY , Heskal summoned the figure known as the Outlander to Asylum and tested the foreigner to determine why they could not see the Outlander ' s future . Growing frustrated with his lack of foresight , Heskal outright attacked the Outlander but was ultimately defeated . The situation was about to escalate as the Outlander ' s companions arrived and ordered the Scions to stand down , which they did . After questioning what future the Outlander had for the galaxy after Arcann and his Eternal Fleet are defeated , Heskal then realized that the anomaly that blinded the Scions to the future was that Valkorion , the Immortal Emperor , had survived within the Outlander ' s mind . He then stated that their duel showed him a glimpse of the future ; the Outlander would destroy the Eternal Throne but not without heavy loss of life . The Scions promised their loyalty to the Outlander , but Heskal later betrayed the Scions and the Outlander to Arcann and drew him to Asylum , as his visions led him to believe it was necessary to force a confrontation . Arcann killed Heskal ' s followers and wounded him just before the Outlander ' s arrival , sparking the Battle of Asylum . During the battle , the wounded Heskal was dragged away from the battle by the Knights but his escort party was beaten by the Outlander . With his dying breath , Heskal stated that forcing a confrontation with Arcann was necessary and stated that the surviving Scions would remain the Outlander ' s allies , who would return when it was their time to die . He vaguely stated that he had foreseen the future and it was glorious in his eyes . He died soon afterwards . Personality . Heskal was a firm believer of fate and destiny , believing no one could escape from it nor exist outside its influence . His fanaticism led him to reveal the location of Asylum to Arcann .
