Force Vampire The Force Vampire , formerly known as Jedi Knight Tel Angor , was the result of the Order of the Silver Jedi ' s experiments into creating a living symbol of the light side of the Force . Unfortunately for the Order , the experiments had the exact opposite effect ; rather than Angor drawing on the Force to bolster his abilities , the dark side corrupted him completely , turning him into a hideous creature that fed on the Force itself , and indeed needed it to survive . Angor ceased to be himself , and became the Force Vampire . Biography . Tel Angor , a male Human , was once the greatest Jedi Knight in the Order of the Silver Jedi just before the Clone Wars . When the Order discovered what they believed to be a fool - proof — if not somewhat dangerous — method of opening oneself fully to the power of the Force , Angor happily volunteered for the experiment . Because he was a dedicated and experienced Knight , the Order accepted and so he took some time over a month to prepare . He meditated , fasted , and concentrated on his connection to the Force during this time in preparation of a complete merging with the Force . He thought that he would become a living symbol of the light side , a glowing beacon of righteousness and justice . Unfortunately , the experiment backfired ; instead of drawing on the Force to bolster his abilities , the dark side corrupted Angor completely into a creature who " fed " on the Force and in fact needed it to survive . It was then that he ceased to be Tel Angor and became the Force Vampire . Fall to the Dark Side . Immediately , the Vampire knew what his new powers entailed him to do . He was able to sustain himself by feeding on the ambient Force energy present in all living beings . He would have to come in contact with the being , often through his hands , and then he would draw the Force energies out of any living being . His prime targets were Force - users who had practiced their abilities , then simply Force - sensitives . In a pinch , he could even draw small amounts of energy from non - Force - sensitives . Any beings who were killed by this means would lose the natural connection to the Force that even dead bodies should exhibit , a fact which could be easily noticed by Force - sensitives . He was able to transfer this Force energy into pure strength , be it to physically assault someone or to strengthen himself from damage . The dark side also granted the Vampire with a secondary deadly ability . He could radiate waves of terror by resonating the dark side within it . These waves caused such palpable fear to their targets that the victim took physical damage . Victims killed through this power had looks of absolute terror etched into their faces at the time of death . The Vampire radiated like a walking dark side nexus ; he could be sensed easily by anyone who used the Force , but he could sense them as well . He was a perversion of the very Force itself , created by a unique experiment which could , most likely , never be duplicated . Unfortunately , nothing was left of the once good man Tel Angor ; all that remained was the dark side creature . He had become a huge creature , both extremely tall as well as extremely broad . He wore dark robes which were soiled and tattered , and his gray hair and beard were both long and unkempt . His cruel mouth always wore a terrible sneer , and his eyes glowed with a crimson evil . The newborn Vampire ' s first act upon birth was to feed upon the Knights of the Silver Jedi who had helped him perform the experiment , then proceeded to murder them all , and destroy all notes and computer files he could find in relation to his creation . Once he was finished , he fled the Jedi stronghold and fled to the Core Worlds . The Order of the Silver Jedi , feeling responsible for the Vampire ' s creation , attempted to track him down but were almost always too late . All they found were the Vampire ' s victims or , for the few that did manage to find him , they died at his hands . The Vampire enjoyed killing his victims with bare hands . He retained all the knowledge and skills of his former host , Tel Angor , and this new state only enhanced his cunning . He became a vicious hunter , a terror for all Force - sensitives whom he was perpetually ravenous for . Living on the fringes of the galaxy ' s populated areas for years , he traveled from planet to planet by means of several passenger liners and unwary transport ships . Growing to hate the light he once embraced , the Vampire allowed the dark side to corrupt him completely . Finally , a short time before the Clone Wars , a team of seven Silver Jedi finally tracked down the Force Vampire and , in a great battle , captured and imprisoned the creature on board an " Outrider " - class cruiser . The group sealed the Vampire inside and joined him as the ship was sent on an automated continual jump through hyperspace . They agreed to serve as his guardians , keeping the galaxy safe from him as well as waiting for a way to be found to bring Tel Angor back to the light . Not long after the trip began , however , one of the Jedi made a critical mistake and the Vampire escaped . He quickly went about feeding on , then murdering , anyone on board he could find . When it was only down to the last of the Silver Jedi , a Knight named Bar Oplut , Oplut managed to sabotage both the hyperdrive and sublight drive s to keep the Vampire from escaping before dying valiantly in the inevitable final battle . The vessel fell out of hyperspace because of Oplut ' s sabotage and floated dead in space for many years until it was found by a New Republic picket ship commanded by Captain Korsu . When Korsu and his group boarded the ship , the Vampire was sensed by their Force - sensitive medic Kara , and he in turn sensed her . Finally , after all these years , he had another meal . As soon as the doors opened on his ship , the Vampire barreled through the group and immediately gripped onto Kara , draining her completely . " Tasty , but not enough , not enough at all , " the Vampire said in a hoarse , dry whisper , before turning to the group . The only person who had been able to recover was Captain Korsu , who had drawn his blaster and pointed it at the thing which he could barely recognize as a man . The Vampire was amused , simply asking him two questions . " You want to fight me ? Do you think you ' re any match for the greatest Knight of the greatest Order of Jedi that ever existed ? Go ahead . Take your best shot . " And so Korsu shot , but died less than a minute later . The Vampire then stole the New Republic ship and proceeded to go back to what he had done before he was captured . He left the picket ship which he had captured , and proceeded to board the passenger liner " Dantooine ' s Pride " . He managed to make at least four stops before a team of investigators were called in to track down the killer , though they did not know it was the Force Vampire they were hunting . When the Force - user of this group examined the bodies , they became uneasy due to the total and violent searing of the connections to the Force which they could no longer sense . The Vampire ' s plan was to reach the Core World of Coruscul , the only remaining stronghold of the Order of the Silver Jedi which he hadn ' t raided . He planned to destroy the final evidence of its existence , as there was a data journal in the stronghold containing all related information , the last entry in which read " We never should have tried . " It is unknown whether or not the Vampire managed to do this . High Prophet Jedgar learned of the Vampire ' s existence , and attempted to gain his trust . Although the Vampire would never simply be his pawn like Jedgar wanted , it was possible that he would agree to work with Jedgar until he could get back to his own agenda .
