Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic : Vindication Vindication is the tenth story - arc in the " " series of comics . Plot Summary . Xamar agrees to expose the Covenant to the Council , but only after he receives promises from Tokare and Lamar that Krynda Draay will receive full immunity for her role in the Circle ' s wrongdoings . The Council organizes a raid on the Draay Estate , which is guarded by Covenant - loyal Jedi , and the Order sends in Xamar , Carrick , and Hierogryph prior to the attack so that Xamar can ferry Krynda to safety . Carrick dresses up as a Sith and conceals his lightsaber in a replica of the Muur Talisman , and Xamar ferries his " prisoners " into the Draay Estate — but when Xamar demands to see Krynda , Haazen refuses to grant him an audience and decides to inspect Carrick himself . Carrick stages a distraction and allows Xamar to slip away and deactivate the Estate ' s defenses so that the Order can attack , but Haazen exposes Carrick ' s deception , and when the alarm goes off , Haazen begins " Vindication " — a pre - planned insurrection by Covenant Jedi against the Order . At Haazen ' s directive , Covenant Jedi disable the Jedi Temple ' s communications , steal the Temple ' s store of Sith artifacts and take them to the Draay Estate , and rally to the defense of the compound against the Council ' s forces . As Draay watches in horror , Haazen gloats about how Draay ' s seat on the Council had allowed the Covenant the access they needed , and Haazen reveals that he has been manipulating Draay the entire time . Haazen also seizes control of the " Swiftsure " computer systems , taking control of the Vanjervalis Chain , and he directs the Republic fleet to fire on the bridge to the Draay Estate — killing Xamar and fulfilling the Khil Jedi Master ' s part of the Rogue Moon Prophecy . As fire rains down on the compound , Haazen casts aside his robes to reveal his ruined body and the numerous Sith artifacts that he has incorporated into his form , and he proclaims that the Prophecy of the Five has come to pass . Amid the destruction , Haazen recalls his past : how he , a servant of Barrison Draay , trained alongside Barrison and Krynda Hulis , and was heartbroken when Krynda fell in love with Barrison and married him . Haazen failed to become a Jedi Knight , and he was convinced by the Sith to betray Barrison during the Sith War , but in doing so Haazen was severely mutilated . The Sith rebuilt him , and he later helped Krynda Draay establish the Jedi Covenant , though he manipulated the organization from behind the scenes to pursue his own goals . Lucien Draay attempts to attack Haazen , but his attacks are rendered useless by Haazen ' s possession of the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger , which prevents anyone and anything from touching its wearer unless they allow it . Haazen explains his interpretation of the Prophecy of the Five : Q ' Anilia is the one of the light in the darkness , Hierogryph is the one from the darkness who stands in the light , Carrick is the one for the light , and while Haazen is the one who stands apart from all , Draay is the one for the darkness . With Carrick and Draay as his subordinates , Haazen intends to command parallel armies of Jedi and Sith . Q ' Anilia rushes off to protect Krynda and Hierogryph follows her , but Lucien uses the red - bladed lightsaber given to him by Haazen to block Carrick from following , and an enraged Lucien begins to pursue Carrick through the compound . When he finally reaches Krynda ' s chambers , he finds Q ' Anilia despondent over her teacher ' s apparent death , and the Miraluka has drank poisoned wine to commit suicide , just as she foresaw . In her final moments , Q ' Anilia is astonished to learn that Hierogryph was in fact that one foretold by the Rogue Moon Prophecy : he killed Raana Tey and stole Feln ' s lightsaber , and he has worn the red space suit from the vision . Just as Q ' Anilia dies , Hierogryph realizes that Krynda is not in fact dead — she is encased in an oubliette , just like the one Morne was placed in on Jebble . Lucien and Carrick ' s fight is interrupted when Hierogryph arrives with the dying Krynda , who he released from the oubliette ; Krynda is horrified that her son killed the Padawans . She foresaw the Massacre almost immediately after Lucien reported the Rogue Moon Prophecy , but she suffered a stroke and Haazen locked her in the oubliette , where she was forced to relive her vision of the massacre over and over . Lucien tries to justify his actions by explaining that he was trying to protect her , but as she dies , Krynda acknowledges that her teachings were wrong and begs her son to face the future with humility . Enraged by his mother ' s death , Draay embraces the dark side and charges after Hierogryph , who he blames for Krynda ' s death . Carrick holds off Draay as Hierogryph flees , but as they battle , Carrick begs his former teacher to break free of Haazen ' s influence — and he is able to get through to the distraught Jedi Master , who finally decides to help Carrick . Meanwhile , Haazen kills the Covenant Jedi who bring him the Temple ' s Sith artifacts , and he witnesses Hierogryph enter the courtyard pursued by a furious Draay . Draay and Carrick battle once more over Hierogryph , but Carrick seemingly kills Draay after the Jedi Master is pinned under a falling statue of Barrison Draay . To Hierogryph ' s disbelief , Carrick bows before Haazen and promises his loyalty in return his halting the bombardment of Coruscant . However , Carrick suddenly grabs Haazen ' s arm and proclaims that he is having a vision of the future — and as Haazen pauses in interest , Carrick slices off Haazen ' s prosthetic arm that bears the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger . Haazen blasts Carrick with Force lightning and throws him toward Hierogryph , but to Haazen ' s surprise , both Carrick and the Snivvian go flying into the sky away from the compound . Draay emerges from the rubble and reveals that the fight had been a ploy to get close to Haazen , and using Haazen ' s arm — which also has the controls for the Republic fleet — Draay causes the fleet to fire upon the Draay Estate and destroys the entire compound , killing the now unprotected Haazen . Carrick and Hierogryph , meanwhile , land safely in a vat of sludge far away from the Draay Estate . In the days that follow , the Republic and the Jedi Order cover up Vindication by describing it as a terror plot by the Mandalorians , and only the families of the slain Padawans are told the truth of what happened . The Order pays off the bounties on Carrick and Hierogryph , officially clearing their names , and Malak is sent back to the Revanchists with a warning that the Council will not tolerate further involvement in the war . Hierogryph decides to leave Coruscant with Slyssk after her gives Jarael Carrick ' s Padawan braid , as he assumes that Carrick is being Knighted , but Carrick surprises his friend by refusing the Order ' s offer : he intends to go into business with Hierogryph and Jarael a partnership that the Snivvian terms Cargryph Capital Management . Unbeknownst to the Republic and the Jedi , Draay survives the destruction of the Draay Estate thanks to the Gauntlet of Kressh , and he retreats to a moon that he had purchased some time ago as a private sanctum . Draay is greatly shaken by his brush with the dark side , and though the Gauntlet kept him alive , he was blinded in the compound ' s destruction . On the moon of Draay 2 , Draay decides to merge the philosophies of his parents and forms a true Covenant of Jedi , a covenant that will dedicate itself to surviving the prophesied doom rather than trying to stop it .
