Vrook Lamar Vrook Lamar was a Human male who served as a Jedi Master as early as the time of the Great Hunt , holding a seat on the Dantooine Jedi Enclave Council . He was also a member of the Jedi High Council throughout the Mandalorian Wars , the Jedi Civil War , and the Dark Wars . He was friends with fellow Council member Vandar Tokare , despite rarely concurring with him on anything , most notably the decision of accepting Revan back into the Jedi Order after his fall to the dark side of the Force . He retreated to Dantooine after the Conclave at Katarr as what remained of the Jedi waited for the Sith to reveal themselves , but he was killed by Kreia in the ruins of the Jedi Enclave when Meetra Surik had a council assembled to take action against the Sith Triumvirate . Biography . In the years following the Great Sith War , Lamar was stationed at the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine , though he occasionally attended Council meetings at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Exar Kun had dealt the Jedi a great blow to their numbers , so when the terentatek were discovered to be behind the deaths of more Jedi throughout the galaxy , the High Council started a Great Hunt to wipe them out . The hunt officially ended in 3993 BBY , when the last of the species were driven deep under Korriban , and it was deemed too dangerous to seek them out due to the planet ' s strong ties to the Sith . Three Jedi Knights , Shaela Nuur , Duron Qel - Droma , and Guun Han Saresh were chosen to continue the hunt , and reported to the Council on Dantooine . Lamar , as well as other members of the Council , had strong reservations about sending such a meager party of Jedi , as well as sending a Qel - Droma to Korriban , given what Duron ' s cousin , Ulic , had done in the recent war . The other Masters , though they agreed on the first point , argued that it was unfair to judge a Jedi by their blood . Sometime before the Mandalorian Wars , when Meetra Surik was still a student at the Jedi academy on Dantooine , Lamar caught her in a heated argument with his Padawan and asked Master Vandar for proper disciplinary action , since her master would take no steps against her . Lamar called her a " mediocre Jedi " with a lust for power that would lead her to the dark side , and also voiced his concern on her strong influence on the other Padawans , as whatever they saw her do some were quick to do the same while others intensely opposed her . Vandar , however , believed Surik ' s was a unique strength and that she was just a natural leader , so he told Lamar that her discipline was none of his concern . Mandalorian Wars . Something else on which Lamar and Tokare had the chance to disagree on , was the choice of apprentice five Padawan learners to Jedi Masters Feln , Q ' Anilia , Raana Tey , Xamar , and Lucien Draay , a cloistered group that was secretly part of the Jedi Covenant , a cabal which Sage Master Krynda Draay had founded years before with the purpose of guarding against a new Sith outbreak . The students were trained at the Jedi academy on Taris , a rimworld with little law and order whence the Jedi were making an effort to conjure up new Jedi Knights to help maintain peace and justice . However , just before the Mandalorians would invade the Galactic Republic , the students were killed by their own teachers . Framed for the murders , Zayne Carrick , the only Padawan to escape the massacre , turned himself in after learning that a prophecy was catalyst for his Masters ' actions that could mean he was going to collapse the Republic and the Jedi Order . As he was brought in chains to the Jedi Tower , Lamar saw him on the holonews in the council chamber of the Enclave , before Carrick resolved to escape once more to protect people who helped him that his Master would not spare . Emptying the Jedi Tower . With ever more Jedi following Revan to war , Lamar was frustrated with the diminished authority of the Council , and would chide further defiance . Although the five Masters of Taris had not actually confessed to the murders , they were all reassigned to different postings per Lamar ' s demand , as he felt that they had failed in the most basic mission a Master can have , which was protecting their student . As they stood judgment before the High Council on Coruscant , Tokare regretted he did not listen to Lamar when he showed reluctance in assigning learners to uneager teachers . Raana Tey ' s outburst at Lamar ' s decision of dividing her group was met with equal passion by Lamar . When the Jedi withdrew from Taris , the planet had only recently joined the Republic ; its citizens were left by both of them to fend for themselves against the impending Mandalorian invasion . After the Battle of Jebble , the High Council offered Lucien Draay to join them , but Lamar didn ' t like the way he had fed off opposition to Revanchism and how the Draay Trust had gained him consensus among the councilors , not to mention the fact that little before they were reprimanding his group for failing to protect their students . Draay accepted the seat , and while Lamar and Tokare agreed to this , it was but a means of keeping a closer look on him and learning more about the Padawan Massacre and the one Tokare sensed behind his rise to power . This person was Haazen , Krynda Draay ' s aide , and his reason was for the Covenant Shadow s to be employed with more freedom . Fighting the Jedi Covenant . As soon as Zayne Carrick got a hold of evidence to clear his name , he had two of his acquaintances deliver a message to Master Vandar and set out for Coruscant . The Master received a holographic transmission from Shel Jelavan and Jedi Knight Alek Squinquargesimus informing him of the events on Jebble , where Covenant Shadow Celeste Morne turned the power of the Muur Talisman against the Mandalorians , and he agreed to meet them at a cantina in the underlevels of Coruscant . Due to the arrest warrant put out for the Revanchists , Alek went by the name of " Captain Malak " . Though at first he was very skeptical , Master Lamar went with Tokare and met the two , and they were told about Raana Tey and her duel on Taris with Carrick , in which she revealed Krynda Draay as the head of the Covenant , shortly before dying . Alek also told them that Carrick was on his way to Coruscant with Sith artifacts from the Sanctum of the Exalted , a containment facility on Odryn where the Covenant had been conducting experiments . Lamar , however , knowing the importance of Krynda Draay , realized that even that was not enough to bring the matter before the Council , and told Alek that if they were to accuse her , the Order would be torn apart . Krynda Draay was one of the few remaining Sith War heroes , and she had been training Jedi for thirty years without the supervision of the Council , thus retaining their allegiance . Just as Master Vandar concluded that one of the Masters involved in the Padawan Massacre needed to speak up , Xamar stepped forward with Zayne in his grasp . The Khil resolved to confess and accept punishment in exchange for full immunity for Krynda , and a role in her rescue from the Rogue Moon Prophecy , which half the First WatchCircle had already been unable to escape . Lamar led a contingent of Jedi on the Draay Estate but had to fall back when Haazen , a failed Padawan who secretly joined Exar Kun , hacked the system ' s of Admiral Saul Karath ' s fleet and fired on them . Taken by surprise , Lamar ordered the Jedi to fall back . The battle soon ended when Draay turned against Haazen and redirected orbital fire towards the Draay Estate , killing Haazen . Confronting the Revanchists . Lamar led a contingent of Jedi to Cathar knowing that the Revanchist and his followers would be there . Lamar confronted the Revanchist and Malak saying that there was nothing special about the Mandalorians and there was no need for the Jedi to be in the war . The Revanchist soon found a Mandalorian mask and after its discovery all the Jedi present received a vision of the Battle of Cathar . In the vision the Mandalorians slaughtered the Cathar people without mercy . Cassus Fett ordered the survivors to be herded into the ocean and executed . One Mandalorian , the one who wore the recently discovered mask , was appalled with Fett ' s decision and protested it . Fett didn ' t listen and had that Mandalorian killed along with the rest of the Cathar . After the vision ended the Revanchist flew into a rage . Taking the name " Revan " he declared that he would take up the fallen Mandalorian ' s task and not stop until justice had been served . He kept the mask and swore not to take it off until the Mandalorians were defeated once and for all . Meanwhile , the revelation of what had occurred on Cathar convinced the Council to sanction the Revanchists ' actions in the war as well as persuade a great number of Jedi to join them . But despite that Revan now had the Council ' s sanction , Lamar developed a very low view of everyone who joined him . Jedi Civil War . Lamar remained on Dantooine during the turbulent years of the Jedi Civil War . He thought Revan and Malak to be paragons of the ideals the Order sought to uphold , but after the Battle of Malachor V and the end of the war , they returned as Sith Lords , and Lamar blamed the Jedi Masters for their fall , most notably Kreia , for her unorthodox teachings . He was present at the trial of Meetra Surik , when the former Jedi General who had served under Revan in the war was banished from the Order . He believed that her isolation would give her time to think on what she had done , but when she returned in 3951 BBY , she still stood by her choice of going to war . After Revan ' s fall , Lamar grew more cynical and demanding toward Jedi apprentices ; believing the Order could not afford any more failures , he accepted nothing but perfection from them . He learned that Revan and Malak had discovered on Dantooine some ancient ruins strong with the dark side , but he argued they had to be already corrupted to seek them out in the first place . After the capture of Darth Revan , he was the sole member of the Enclave Council who was against the notion of retraining him in the ways of the Jedi . He worried that his former self might return and reclaim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith , but his fears would not come to pass . As Revan grew once again strong in the Force , he remained true to the light side and brought an end to his own Sith Empire . As of 3956 BBY , the Jedi at the Enclave helped in local security and talked through much of the family bickering inside the community . Lamar was actually in charge of their relations with the settlers , but he found it frustrating having to deal with sentients such as Ahlan Matale , rash and stupid enough to start a war over any imagined slight . As Revan was earning back his place in the Order , he was handed over the matter of resolving the feud between rich land - owners Ahlan Matale and Nurik Sandral , which degenerated with the disappearances of their sons Casus Sandral and Shen Matale . Revan and the crew of the " Ebon Hawk " were almost through searching for the Star Forge , when Darth Malak , who before being ruler of the Sith had been his Sith apprentice , attacked the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine via orbital bombardment . While many Jedi fell in the attack , Lamar and his fellow Council members survived the assault . The First Jedi Purge . After the Jedi Civil War , Lamar was the only member of the Dantooine Council not to participate in the ill - fated Conclave at Katarr . After that shocking event , Lamar and the remaining Jedi decided to go into exile . They hoped that by doing so this new Sith threat — which was hunting the remaining Jedi to extinction — would be lulled into a false victory and reveal itself . During the dark years of the First Jedi Purge , Lamar hid in the ruins of the Dantooine Enclave . Meetra Surik would later track down the surviving members of the Council . At that time , Lamar was participating in the restoration of the destroyed Dantooine Enclave . During his time in the ruins of the Enclave , he allowed himself to be captured by the mercenaries on Dantooine to deter them from attacking Khoonda . When Surik heard of his capture , she went to the mercenary base in the near by crystal cave , not knowing of Lamar ' s plan . After she slew his captors and released him , he bitterly criticized her and explained the situation . Both of them rushed back to Khoonda to help defend it . Lamar left to attack the mercenary camp , and returned in time to help Surik finish Azkul and his remaining mercenaries . Although Lamar ' s attitude towards Surik had grown more benevolent following her heroism in the Battle of Khoonda , he did not allow his feelings to alter his judgment when the newly established Council convened to pass judgment on her once more . Lamar and his fellow Masters , Kavar and Zez - Kai Ell , decided that Surik was too grave of a threat to the galaxy and , therefore , decided to permanently strip her of her connection to the Force . While attempting to carry out their sentence , Lamar and the other two council members were attacked by Kreia , who having had her own connection to the force restored through Surik , had turned once more to the dark side and resumed the mantle of " Darth Traya " . Using the full might of her power , she drained the Jedi masters of life and force energy , killing them . Personality and traits . During his tenure as a Jedi Master , he was generally characterized by his brusque manner , stern demeanor , cautious disposition , and suspicious nature . Lamar wished for all his students to be strong , capable Jedi . He also thought very low of those who went against the Council ' s will , as Kavar said Lamar was in low opinion of everyone who followed Revan to war . Though he was pessimistic and cynical , Lamar was one of the more active members of the Dantooine Council , often personally mediating disputes . Despite his harsh demeanor , he occasionally showed great concern for the safety of Padawans , as when he rebuked Revan for endangering his pupils in the Mandalorian Wars . Powers and abilities . Master Lamar was a practitioner of the advanced Force form s and of many styles of lightsaber combat . By 3951 BBY he had mastered Ataru , Shien , Niman , and Juyo , which he also supplemented with aggressive Force powers , such as the dreaded Force lightning . He wielded a green lightsaber . Though he thought of it as a punishment reserved for only a few , he could use the Sever Force ability , which he attempted to use on Meetra Surik . His knowledge of the Force also included techniques able to stun or paralyze opponents , and advanced healing powers . Behind the scenes . Vrook Lamar was voiced by Ed Asner in the video games " " and " " . As Lamar wielded a green lightsaber , he is identified as a possible Jedi Consular before he became a Master , if the lightsaber color - to - specialization mapping from the first " KotOR " game is to be considered canonical . In " Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lords " , Lamar can teach the player one of the Force or lightsaber forms he knows , depending on what order the Jedi Masters are found . With the Force Power Force sight it is shown that Lamar only has a relatively weak light side alignment . If you take the dark side path and duel Lamar he is considered one of the most difficult bosses in the game . Alternate endings . During the attack on Khoonda , after choosing to help Azkul and his mercenaries against Khoonda , the Jedi Exile fights and kills Lamar . If the Jedi Exile openly states that they wish to kill Lamar while he is still captive , Lamar escapes his holding cell after the mecenaries have been killed and states that he was never unarmed as he takes out his lightsaber . The Exile and his / her companions are forced to battle Lamar . When you come close to beating him , he notes that the Exile has regained his / her abilities and flees . Another possibility is that the Exile pretends to aid the Khoonda militia before betraying them in battle , allowing Azkul to assassinate Administator Terena Adare . Lamar , who is occupied in battle elsewhere , does not witness the betrayal , and assumes the Exile did her best in preventing the death of the Administrator . The two do not duel despite the mercenary control over Khoonda . Should the Exile save Khoonda , they later have an option to kill Lamar in the rebuilt Enclave . If the Exile has killed either Zez - Kai Ell or Kavar , they will be forced to fight the remaining Jedi Masters . Instead of fighting Lamar when taking the darker path , the Exile has the option of letting the mercenaries holding him captive take him to Nar Shaddaa , which will be admired by Kreia , Visas , and Hanharr .
