There , he met Ekria and Zonder , fellow masterless Padawans , and he witnessed the enactment of Order 66 . Fleeing back to Coruscant with his new friends , he lived his life on the run from the Inquisitorius , particularly Antinnis Tremayne . The trio of Padawans eventually became freelance crime - fighters in Coruscant ' s underworld , and were involved in a Black Sun plot . Though they thought themselves safe at first , their dealings with Prince Xizor put them in grave danger , and resulted in the death of Zonder at the hands of Darth Vader , Dark Lord of the Sith . Lo ' gaan and Ekria sought revenge , and planned to assassinate Vader on Tepasi , but they had a contingency plan in place , in case the attempt failed . Lo ' gaan unsuccessfully dueled with Vader , but survived the encounter thanks to trickery on Ekria ' s part , and the pair were able to live their lives in solitude , believed dead by the agents of the Galactic Empire . Biography . Padawan Learner . Accepted into the Jedi Temple and the Jedi Order as an infant , Drake Lo ' gaan , as per normal protocol , was trained as a youngling in the hopes of becoming a Jedi Knight ' s Padawan . At the age of eleven , he fared well in the Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament , garnering the notice of Jedi Master Roron Corobb . The Ithorian Master accepted Lo ' gaan as his apprentice . The Clone Wars . Together , Master and Padawan embarked on several missions during the galaxy - wide Clone Wars . During Corobb ' s final mission , however , the pair would be separated . The Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded Coruscant , with the intent of capturing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Corobb was one of the Masters tasked with defending the Chancellor , while Lo ' gaan was left to fight the invading armies . As the battle began to wind down , Lo ' gaan , on a speeder bike , sped to the Chancellor ' s safe house and engaged a cadre of General Grievous ' s IG - 100 MagnaGuards . While he was fighting them , however , a group of clone commandos under the command of Stass Allie dispatched the droids . Allie , one of the other Masters tasked with defending the Chancellor , had lost contact with Masters Corobb , Moudama , and Ti . Waiting to gain entry to the safe house , the group heard a scream of anguish from within . Realizing that Grievous must be inside , the group hurriedly entered into the bunker , searching for the occupants . Meeting up with Mace Windu , they reached the main area of the bunker , only to find Shaak Ti incapacitated , with Masters Corobb and Moudama slain . Neither Grievous nor Palpatine were in sight . Lo ' gaan , distraught , cradled the body of his dead master . Palpatine would eventually be rescued by Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and the Confederacy forced to retreat . Battle of Felucia . As the Clone Wars continued to rage , Lo ' gaan stayed at the Temple , masterless , but he resolved to personally hunt down and destroy Grievous . He met Skywalker in the Temple one day , and asked him if he could join in the hunt for Grievous on Utapau . Skywalker explained that Master Kenobi had been chosen to hunt the General instead , but the Hero With No Fear sympathized with Lo ' gaan . Lo ' gaan accompanied the Jedi Knight to the staging grounds , where Skywalker gave the Council ' s orders to Stass Allie . Allie was to deliver reinforcements to Felucia , where Shu Mai had released deadly toxins into the water supplies . Skywalker , making an executive decision , told Lo ' gaan to go with Allie , and join the Felucia task force . At Felucia , Lo ' gaan met up with Masters Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee with the 327th Star Corps , as well as fellow Padawans Ekria and Zonder . The Padawans were tasked with securing a water supply station at Jiaozi , while the two masters dealt with the cities of Niango and Har Gau . Lo ' gaan , showing initiative , devised a plan to lure away the Felucian resistance guarding the plant . The Selonian Zonder roared loudly , causing the Gossam and battle droid guards to attack . After a brief skirmish , Lo ' gaan and the troops feigned a retreat , leading the enemy further into Felucia ' s jungles . They were able to reach the station before the planet wide toxins had reached it , allowing Ekria to halt the advance of the poisonous fumes . However , she was not able to access the other stations remotely . Order 66 . While Ekria was still attempting to shut off the toxin flow , the Padawan ' s signal to the Masters was jammed . Ekria attempted to bring the first - person cameras built into the clone trooper helmets up on the station ' s viewscreen , but as she did , she detected a message from Coruscant , bearing Confederate encryption . As Ekria attempted to decrypt it , the Padawans witnessed the murder of the Masters on the viewscreen . Shocked and saddened , the Padawans sought an answer to the sudden reversal of the clone troopers ' allegiance . Ekria finally decrypted the message : a hologram ordering Commander CC - 5052 to " execute Order 66 . " Shortly thereafter , the Padawans received a top - priority message from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , telling them that the war was over , and that they were to return to the Jedi Temple . Realizing that the clones were now on the hunt for Jedi , the Padawans were able to flee Felucia and return to Coruscant undetected . Fugitives from the Empire . On Coruscant , the Padawans struggled to survive under the New Order . Jedi were considered enemies of the Galactic Empire , and were to be killed on sight . As such , the Padawans had to limit their use of the Force to a bare minimum , so as to avoid detection . The group began to believe they were the only Jedi left in the galaxy , but Ekria had faith that they were simply in hiding , and would return to Coruscant to right Palpatine ' s wrongs . To start with , the trio infiltrated the abandoned Jedi Temple , and Ekria erased all traces of them from the Jedi Archives . They sought refuge in the Coruscant Underworld , but barely scraped together enough credits to feed themselves . Lo ' gaan ventured into local gambling dens , influencing the outcome of dice games to his favor , so that the group was able to buy food . One time , in the Uscru Entertainment District , Lo ' gaan was detected as being underage , and stormtroopers swept in to apprehend him . He was aided in his escape by Zonder and Ekria , but he had to use the Force to quell the stormtrooper advance . Ekria would later reprimand him for such an action , and chastised him for gambling . COMPNOR and Inquisitor Tremayne . Ekria decided that the Padawans would have to change their tactics , so they wouldn ' t be betraying the ideals they had grown up with . She told Lo ' gaan and Zonder to get honest jobs . Lo ' gaan , aged 13 , with no documentation , guardians , and a death mark on his head , was skeptical as to his ability to get a job . Wandering into Employment Center D4176 , he was told by several members of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order that he was in a Non - Human Only area . Passing himself off as " Jodd Sonta , " he was led by the COMPNOR members to the Jrade District and separated from Zonder . At the Jrade District , Lo ' gaan attended a COMPNOR Sub - Adult Group function , hosted by Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne . During a speech , Tremayne preached Human superiority , and claimed that Palpatine had great faith in the Sub - Adult Group . He also mentioned that SAGroup members would be above curfew , and that there were several career openings available for members . Lo ' gaan , interested , joined the SAGroup . However , his presence was detected by Tremayne and his fellow Inquisitor Halmere , if not his identity . Ekria disapproved of Lo ' gaan ' s career choice , but the young Padawan passed it off as an infiltration mission . He was able to provide Ekria with ample credits , and Zonder was doing well in his new job as a construction worker . Ekria claimed that she preferred the gambling , but Lo ' gaan objected , claiming that he appreciated the respect that the COMPNOR uniform attracted . Wary , though , the Padawans found a new hiding place . Lo ' gaan , or " Sonta , " was assigned to security detail , at transport platform DN6 - 4435 . There , he met Onnelly Praji , a young girl who was departing for " Emerald Splendor , " a resort where Zonder was due to be shipped in several days ' time . As Praji departed , Lo ' gaan was ordered by a dock hand to not mix the girl ' s belongings in with those of the Non - Humans . When Lo ' gaan learned that the belongings of the Non - Humans were to be liquidated , he realized that Zonder was going to become a slave . As he attempted to flee the platform , he was set upon by stormtroopers , who had been ordered by Tremayne to detain him . Tremayne had discovered that " Sonta ' s " backstory didn ' t quite match up , and so the Inquisitor deduced that he was the elusive Jedi . Reaching Ekria ' s new hideout , Lo ' gaan marveled at the sheer size of the location . Apparently , an elderly widow from Qiilura had bequeathed her apartment to the Jedi Order , and Ekria had manipulated the holding rights to her favor . She informed Lo ' gaan that his cover was blown at COMPNOR before showing him the arsenal of weaponry and armor that she had compiled . Disguising himself with a modified clone trooper helmet , he set out with Ekria to rescue Zonder . The pair successfully infiltrated the slave ship , but Ekria was unable to pinpoint Zonder ' s exact location . While Lo ' gaan worked through Zonder ' s possible locations , he encountered Inquisitor Tremayne . Tremayne , taunting Lo ' gaan , revealed Zonder to be on Level Nine of the ship , and Ekria , who had been listening , hurriedly traveled there . She saved Zonder , who insisted on liberating his fellow slaves . Meanwhile , Lo ' gaan engaged Tremayne in a lightsaber duel , with the Inquisitor goading the Padawan with promises of respect and power . Lo ' gaan did not falter , however , and with a swift kick to Tremayne ' s jaw was able to defeat the Inquisitor . Tremayne was not to be bested , however , and ordered the execution of Zonder . Inquisitors Halmere , Ap - Llewff , and Pasiq were dispatched to stop the slave riot , but were soundly beaten back by Zonder and Ekria . Stormtroopers began to open fire , and Tremayne ordered the lockdown of the ship . Lo ' gaan was reunited with his friends , and they were able to reach a skiff to escape , but Lo ' gaan doubled back . He found Praji , and told her of what the Empire planned to do with the aliens . He surmised that if she went with them on the slave ship , she would never return . Tremayne finally caught up with Lo ' gaan before he could tell her anything else , but the Padawan quickly jumped out a nearby window , escaping the Inquisitor ' s wrath . The three Padawans then returned to their new home , safe for a while . Dealing with Black Sun . Seeking to keep a low profile , but still serve the role of Jedi Knights , the Padawans prowled Coruscant ' s underworld , working as crime fighters . Lo ' gaan took on the adopted alias of " Spike , " with Ekria as " Blue " and Zonder as " Paws . " One night , they stopped a band of Nashtah Gang thugs from robbing an Omwati couple , Kodo and Aleema Finn . Prince Xizor of Black Sun was targeting the Finns , as a way of getting himself promoted to vigo . When Ekria learned of Black Sun ' s involvement , she called in Lo ' gaan and Zonder , who were out saving a local shopping mart . Drake and Zonder went to the Finn residence , and told them of the Black Sun element . However , the bounty hunter Boushh , who had been hired by Xizor to succeed where the Nashtahs had failed , burst into the residence , using explosives . Zonder escorted the Omwati couple away from the scene , while Lo ' gaan stayed and fought with the Ubese hunter . While they were grappling , stormtroopers burst into the residence , surrounding the two combatants . Tremayne strode in , demanding that " Sonta " surrender , but Lo ' gaan quickly jumped out a nearby window , evading the Inquisitor in much the same way as he had in months prior . Reunited with Zonder , the Finns , and Ekria , Lo ' gaan learned that Kodo Finn had been dealing with TaggeCo , to the disadvantage of Xizor Transport Company . The Padawans knew that Xizor Transport was actually a Black Sun front , explaining the attacks . The group journeyed to Xizor ' s headquarters , where they battled guards and droidekas . Entering the Prince ' s office , Lo ' gaan was able to convince Xizor to discontinue the bounty on Finn ' s head , and allow him to leave Coruscant , in exchange for TaggeCo intelligence . Xizor agreed , but warned Finn to never return . Xizor had left tracking devices on the Padawans as they left , hoping to glean the location of their hideout , but Ekria was able to locate them , and attached the devices to a set of rodents , throwing off the trail . Following the ordeal , Lo ' gaan realized that it was not Tremayne he would have to confront to end the chase , but Darth Vader , the Dark Lord of the Sith . Ending the game . Xizor was not so easily shaken , however , and eventually , he captured Zonder . Lo ' gaan and Ekria traveled to his last known location , seeking clues . By this time , Zonder had been delivered into the clutches of the Inquisitorius , and Darth Vader . Vader took Zonder ' s communicator , and activated it , transmitting a holographic image of what was transpiring inside the Inquisitorius headquarters to the Padawans . Lo ' gaan looked on in horror as Zonder dueled with the Dark Lord , a one - sided duel resulting in the Selonian ' s decapitation . Distraught , Lo ' gaan resolved to destroy Vader . Lo ' gaan trained hard for his predicted encounter with Vader , while Ekria tracked down the Dark Lord ' s location . She determined that Vader would be leaving for Tepasi from platform NL1922 . She also learned that Vader ' s intent was to confront Baron Tagge , over a political dispute . As the pair departed for NL1922 , Ekria detonated several charges within their home , effectively destroying it . A Low Altitude Assault Transport , carrying Inquisitor Tremayne . The Inquisitor , with the help of Imperial Intelligence Director Armand Isard , had tracked down the location of the remaining Padawans . A harrowing chase ensued through Imperial City , until Lo ' gaan finally reached NL1922 . Ekria was forced to escape , though , due to the heavy fire from the gunship . Sure enough , Vader was making ready to depart when Lo ' gaan landed on the platform . Cutting his way through Vader ' s stormtroopers , Lo ' gaan was eventually subdued by the Dark Lord ' s Noghri bodyguards . The captive of Vader , Lo ' gaan was subjected to the Dark Lord ' s tales of the Jedi Rebellion as the shuttle sped towards Tepasi . Vader also knew Lo ' gaan ' s real name ; a fact that piqued the young Padawan ' s curiosity . Though Lo ' gaan did not know it , Vader was in fact Anakin Skywalker , transformed and twisted into a Sith by Palpatine . He told the young Padawan that the Jedi had been plotting to overthrow Palpatine , and that Mace Windu and Shaak Ti had slain Roron Corobb , not Grievous . He also told Lo ' gaan that Anakin Skywalker had been murdered by Obi - Wan Kenobi . Vader then invited Lo ' gaan to join the Inquisitorius , but unlike his earlier encounter with Tremayne , Lo ' gaan began to have second thoughts . Vader arrived on Tepasi , demanding to speak with Baron Orman Tagge , while Lo ' gaan was kept in tow . Meanwhile , Ekria , who had managed to commandeer the freighter " Casuistic " , was able to convince the Baron to inspect the foundries . Vader found the Baron , and began to throttle the unarmed Tagge . Lo ' gaan was outraged , and threw away all doubts he had about Vader . The Dark Lord ignored him , however , and proceeded to blind the Baron with his lightsaber . At that moment , Ekria , who had made her way to Tepasi , revealed herself , and opened fire on the Imperials . She threw an electromagnetic grenade at Vader , incapacitating the Dark Lord and disabling Lo ' gaan ' s binding cuffs . CC - 5052 ( Commander Bly ) , who had been given the opportunity by Vader to finally complete his mission from Felucia , barged into the room with his troops , and opened fire on Ekria . Ekria was struck by the blaster fire , and seemingly perished in the attack . She was , in fact , wearing an industrial conducting suit that dissipated the shots , but the troops continued to believe her dead . Feigning rage , Lo ' gaan viciously attacked CC - 5052 and his troops , incapacitating them . He then collapsed , seemingly distraught . Vader loomed over him , goading him to give into his anger and embrace the dark side of the Force . Lo ' gaan responded by activating a nearby magnet , which grasped Vader ' s lightsaber , before the Dark Lord crushed the machine with the Force . However , Lo ' gaan was able to get to Vader ' s saber first , while the Dark Lord was forced to call upon the fallen Ekria ' s saber . Unbeknownst to Vader , Ekria had in fact altered the workings of her saber to give it approximately the same power as that of a youngling ' s training saber . Vader began dueling with Lo ' gaan . Though Lo ' gaan was much younger and less experienced than Vader , he was able to hold his ground until CC - 5052 shot him in the back . Vader , realizing that Lo ' gaan could not be converted , stabbed the Padawan in the chest , with what the Dark Lord believed to be a fatal strike . Lo ' gaan plummeted to the depths of Tagge ' s foundries , apparently dead . When the Imperials left , however , the two Padawans revived , and made their way off Tepasi on the " Casuistic " . They then retrieved Zonder ' s body , and took it back to Selonia , his homeworld , and gave him a Jedi funeral . There , Lo ' gaan and Ekria renounced their Jedi ways and abandoned their names , hoping to live in anonymity through Palpatine ' s New Order . Personality and traits . Drake Lo ' gaan was an energetic and headstrong young man , traits that either impressed or exasperated his peers . He was an adept and skillful fighter , and able to spar with the best . His confidence , however , evolved into anger when his master was slain by Grievous on Coruscant . He looked up to Anakin Skywalker , the Hero With No Fear , and would not hesitate to quote his teachings later in life . His initiative usually served him and his companions well , although it sometimes led him into grave danger . He , along with his friends , thought himself among the last of the Jedi following Order 66 , even though that was not the case . He had no qualms in cheating people out of their money , so long as they were able to survive , but Ekria soon changed his view on the matter . When he joined COMPNOR , he savored the respect he was given , claiming that it reminded him of his time as a Jedi . Eventually , Lo ' gaan dedicated his skills not to preserving himself , but helping others in need . In his time as a crime fighter , he willingly risked his life for the safety of total strangers , and asked for nothing else in return . When helping the Finns , he put his identity in jeopardy , a choice that would later result in the death of his friend , Zonder . That choice is likely what embittered Lo ' gaan to such a point where he sought nothing but revenge against Darth Vader ; he trained incessantly for his confrontation with the Dark Lord , even with his saber on full strength , which was a dangerous practice . Lo ' gaan was constantly tempted by offers of power and respect , by Tremayne and Vader , respectively . He shunned Tremayne without a second thought , but Vader ' s stories of the Jedi Rebellion began to sway him . When he saw the Dark Lord ' s true nature during the blinding of Baron Tagge , however , Lo ' gaan had no doubts about where he stood with the Sith . Powers and abilities . Lo ' gaan was an adept swordsman , using his lightsaber effectively on battlefronts such as Coruscant and Felucia . He was able to defeat General Grievous ' s IG - 100 bodyguard droids , which were sometimes capable of felling the most experienced Jedi Masters . He also used his saber to great effect battling the defenders of Felucia . Lo ' gaan was a highly skilled duelist as well , and was able defeat Antinnis Tremayne , a man far older and more experienced than he was . He was also able to stand his ground against Darth Vader , a feat accomplished by few . Lo ' gaan had the ability to survive severe falls , an ability he used often on Coruscant . He could also use the Force to influence dice games to his advantage . Behind the scenes . Drake Lo ' gaan was created by Paul Ens for the 2004 – 2005 StarWars . com webstrip , " Reversal of Fortune " .

In March 2013 , the depicted Barriss Offee as a traitor to the Jedi Order , in the timeline preceding the events of " Reversal of Fortune " .
