Yuthura Ban Yuthura Ban was a Twi ' lek female born on the planet Sleheyron at some point before the Jedi Civil War . Originally enslaved to Omeesh the Hutt , Ban wounded Omeesh and eventually escaped Sleheyron , although she was abandoned on an uninhabited planetoid by the crew of a cargo ship she stowed away on in order to flee her homeworld . However , the Jedi Order rescued her and began training Ban in the ways of the Force , where she reached the rank of Padawan . However , she eventually abandoned the Jedi due to her hatred for slavery , and joined the Sith at the Sith Academy on the planet Korriban , eventually becoming the apprentice of the Academy ' s Headmaster Uthar Wynn . In the final year of the Jedi Civil War — a galactic conflict between the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak ' s Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic — Ban encountered the Jedi Revan who , as the reconditioned former Dark Lord , was searching for the Star Forge , a Rakata n space station under the control of Revan ' s former apprentice Darth Malak . Ban was convinced by Revan to approve him for enrollment in the Sith Academy , with Uthar Wynn placing her in charge of teaching Revan and the other students the ways of the Sith . However , Ban conspired with Revan to murder Wynn at the final trial , so that she could gain his position as the Academy Headmaster . During this time , Ban also aided Revan in his quest to gain more prestige with Wynn , and Revan learned about her past as a slave and Jedi . When Revan succeeded in gaining prestige with Wynn , Ban accompanied him and Wynn to the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow ' s tomb , where Revan was tasked with reaching the Rakatan Star Map and retrieving a Sith lightsaber . After the Jedi completed the tests , Ban and Revan turned against Wynn after he ordered the former to kill the latter . Ban turned against Revan , who , after defeating her , spared her life and convinced her to return to the light side and the Jedi . Biography . Early life and Jedi training . Yuthura Ban , a Force - sensitive Twi ' lek female , was born on the Outer Rim planet Sleheyron during the era before the Jedi Civil War . She was enslaved at a young age to the slave master Omeesh the Hutt . Filled with anger over her predicament , Ban sought vengeance by strengthening her determination not to simply be " nothing . " At some point , she was alone with Omeesh in his bedchambers , and Ban stabbed the Hutt , who was intoxicated , and escaped his compound . Ban fled the planet by stowing aboard a cargo ship . Upon discovering her , the ship ' s crew abandoned her on a desolate planetoid to die . However , she was eventually rescued by the Jedi Order , who recognized her potential with the Force , and decided to train her in the ways of the Jedi , despite her advanced age . Though Ban advanced to the rank of Padawan , she was unable to let go of her anger towards her former oppressors and all others who would practiced slavery , having been brought up in such conditions and so being able to empathize with their position . Seeing the apparent Jedi inaction over the matter as intolerable and unable to resolve her differences with the Order , Ban abandoned her Master and the Jedi teachings , swearing to find a new means to achieve the power necessary to combat what she considered to be the wickedness of slavery throughout the galaxy . Uthar Wynn ' s apprentice . After abandoning the Jedi path , Ban wandered the galaxy until she arrived on the Sith homeworld of Korriban , which was the headquarters of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak ' s Sith Empire . As the Jedi and the Sith warred with each other , Ban sought refuge at the Sith Academy . Upon her acceptance , Ban was initiated in the ways of the Sith and willingly gave into her emotions . The Sith at the academy considered her rage and hatred to be her natural talent and ability ; coupled with her anger towards the Jedi and hatred of slavery , Ban experienced a quick rise through the ranks . Her prowess with a lightsaber and her unbridled anger drew the attention of the Academy ' s headmaster , Sith Master Uthar Wynn . Wynn took Ban on as an apprentice , teaching her to use her hatred to become a weapon of the Empire . As the apprentice to the headmaster , Ban gained high authority in the Academy , including having the final word on whether a hopeful would be admitted into the Academy or not . Redemption . After a time , Ban ' s thirst for power led her to devise a plot to overthrow her master , a plan involving a promising new recruit to the Sith , within whom the Force bristled with startling intensity . Though sensing something odd about the young Human , Ban hadn ' t suspected that she had , in truth , enlisted the services of Revan , the deposed Dark Lord of the Sith , on his journey around the galaxy searching for the Star Map s . Taking to each other quickly , Ban let Revan in on her plan to usurp power at the Academy . Together with her powerful new ally , Ban and Revan attacked Headmaster Wynn and managed to slay the Sith Lord . With Wynn dead , Ban was ready to take over control at the Academy , and in a calculated — if not entirely desired — act of betrayal , she turned on Revan to ensure that no other being would seek to overthrow her . Despite her power , Ban was no match for Revan and was overpowered . She yielded to Revan , who allowed her to live , and by sparing her , Ban was convinced that she had walked the wrong path and allowed Revan to redeem her . Renouncing her title at the Academy , Ban departed Korriban and returned to Dantooine to seek redemption in the eyes of the Jedi Council . Darth Malak had attacked Dantooine , however , and the Jedi Enclave was destroyed through orbital bombardment by his flagship , the " Leviathan " . Ban ' s fate was lost to history when all records were destroyed during the First Jedi Purge . Personality and traits . Even though she herself was still an apprentice , Yuthura Ban was also a lead instructor and mentor at the Sith Academy . She respected initiative and cunning in her students and was not considered short of either herself . Like most of the Force - sensitives at the academy , she wore the uniform of a Sith officer as opposed to robes . Behind the scenes . Yuthura Ban was voiced by Tamara Phillips . Different from most characters , Ban wielded a lightsaber shoto as her weapon instead of a regular lightsaber . Yuthura Ban ' s home planet Sleheyron was originally planned to have appeared in " Knights of the Old Republic " — after it was scrapped ; however , it was written into Ban ' s background as a tribute to the effort that had been put into planning it . If Revan plays through Korriban after being imprisoned on the " Leviathan " , he or she can question Ban about what the Sith Lord used to be like . If the player mentions that he / she is Revan , Ban will not believe him , though if the player chooses to do so again after defeating Ban and sparing her life , she realizes he is telling the truth , and sees that he is no longer the Dark Lord he once was ; alternatively , after the attempted coup , if Uthar Wynn is favored and Ban defeated , he will recognize Revan and devote the Academy to him . When Ban asks who Revan ' s " companions " are the player has the option of saying " they are just my slaves . " Despite her past , this doesn ' t seem to bother her much even though she hates slavers . Most members of your party will play along , although some may question . There are many choices for the player to make in " " regarding Ban ' s fate . The most extreme light side choice is outlined above , with the other options detailed below . Options . On Korriban , various options in the Sith Academy are present to the player , who plays as Revan . Revan can tell Uthar Wynn about Ban ' s plans to betray him and , after doing so , Wynn instructs Revan to perform a small task that will ensure Ban is weakened via poison by the time of the final trial — making her considerably easier to defeat . It is up to the player whether or not to do as Wynn asks . A second choice is that , after informing Wynn of Ban ' s plot , Revan can then go on to tell Ban about Wynn ' s plotting against her . It is up to the player whether or not to inform Ban about the poison ; if so , then she takes precautions against it . In response to this news , Ban tells Revan to poison Wynn ' s bed and provides the poison and access to his room . Revan can again choose whether or not to do this . If the player doesn ' t tell Ban about the poison , there is the option of poisoning them both . After Revan passes the prestige trials to enter the tomb with Ban ' s help and completes the assignment therein , Wynn tells Revan to fight Ban to pass the final trial and show no mercy . Depending on the player ' s previous choices , the player will obtain different reactions from Ban and Wynn throughout this section of the game , for example Ban won ' t be surprised by Wynn ' s attempt to turn Revan on her if you have informed her of his plot and Wynn won ' t be poisoned if you didn ' t undertake Ban ' s task . Sample light side choices after the duel in the tomb of Naga Sadow , a deceased Sith Lord , include Revan siding with Ban and the two of them killing Wynn . Ban then turns on Revan and is defeated . If the player befriended Ban earlier , and after the Jedi enclave is destroyed , Revan then reveals his real identity and tells Ban to abandon the Sith , which leads the Sith to attack Revan after Ban left . An alternate light side choice is that Revan destroys Wynn for Ban . Once done , Ban battles Revan and is defeated . If the player learned about Ban ' s former life , it is possible to convince her to return to the light side . If succeeded , the player can meet her in the courtyard on Dantooine where she describes being accepted there and even brought her old master to tears upon her return , this is only possible of course if the player locates the Korriban Star Map before at least two others , or else Revan will not be able to even go to Dantooine to see her there . A third alternate light side choice is that Revan sides with Ban and they kill Wynn . Once done , Ban battles Revan and is defeated . She pleads for mercy and Revan spares her life but does not return her to the path of the light . She leaves unharmed and takes up mastery of the Academy , in Wynn ’ s place . It is also possible , as a Jedi , that Revan sides with neither Sith and kills both . Sample choices which take the player to the dark side of the Force include Revan siding with Ban and the two of them killing Wynn . Once done , Ban battles Revan and is defeated . She pleads for mercy but Revan strikes her down , killing her . Another alternate dark side choice is that Revan sides with Wynn and kills Ban . Depending on the actions taken while on Korriban , Wynn may attack . If not , Revan may choose whether or not to kill Wynn , or to allow him to live and keep mastery of the Academy when Revan leaves . The third and final dark side choice is that , as the only " true Sith , " Revan sides with neither Ban nor Wynn and instead kills both .
