Biography . Early life . Rasi Tuum , a Cathar male , was born along with his brothers , Ahn and Zho , in the decades leading up to the Sith – Imperial War . Both he and his litter mates were found to be sensitive to the Force and were trained in the ways of the Jedi Order , with Rasi eventually becoming a Jedi Master . During this time , he took the Human female Azlyn Rae as his Padawan . At some point Tuum was sent on a mission to the planet Roon . While he was there , the Jedi Master felt a disturbance in the Force and came across the pirates Rav and Zareb Syn raiding a miner ' s camp . He pursued the pirates , who kidnapped a young Arkanian girl , as they retreated to their ship . After Tuum used his lightsaber to cut off Rav ' s right leg , Syn grabbed Tuum from behind , causing both himself and the Jedi Master to fall off the ship ' s loading ramp . The Cathar killed Syn and used the Force to jump on the ship ' s loading ramp in an attempt to pursue the pirates . However , Rav shot Tuum in the chest , causing him to fall to the surface . The Jedi Master managed to survive both the shot and the fall , and from that point would wonder if the girl he attempted to rescue was all right . In 130 ABY , both the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance were defeated by the Galactic Empire and One Sith forces at the end of the Sith – Imperial War . Both Tuum and Rae were present at the galactic capital Coruscant ' s Jedi Temple when the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt ' s Sith forces attacked . During the attack , Tuum instructed Rae to flee the Temple . Tuum survived the attack and managed to escape himself , eventually making his way to the Hidden Jedi Temple , which had been built by Jedi Master Nat Skywalker and the Jedi Council on the planet Taivas . Two days after the fall of Coruscant , the Sith attacked the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus , killing many Jedi and scattering those who survived . Krayt then established himself as Galactic Emperor and began hunting the remaining Jedi Knights . Second Imperial Civil War . Confronting Jariah Syn . In 137 ABY , during the Second Imperial Civil War , Tuum was at the Hidden Jedi Temple when the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker and his crew arrived , having been guided there by his uncle , Nat , now called " Bantha " Rawk . An Imperial delegation loyal to the deposed Emperor Roan Fel arrived shortly after Skywalker ' s starship landed . While Skywalker , the Imperial Knight s , and Rawk met with the Jedi Council , Tuum recognized his former Padawan , Azlyn Rae — who was now an Imperial Knight and had arrived at the Temple with Skywalker — and approached her . After a joyous reunion , she asked about his brothers , and Tuum told her that while Ahn had been slain by the Sith , Zho was alive and searching for any remaining Jedi to bring to the Temple . As they headed to Meditation Garden Orenth , Tuum began questioning whether or not Rae felt loyalty to the Jedi or to the Imperial Knights , who had rescued her after the Massacre of Ossus and completed her training . After Rae explained that she swore an oath of loyalty to Emperor Fel , Tuum opined that her heart would always long to serve the Jedi way . He asked her to meditate on their conversation as she departed . A few moments later , as Tuum began to meditate in the garden , he was attacked by Cade Skywalker ' s companion Jariah Syn , who sought to kill the Cathar and avenge the death of his father , Zareb Syn . He was hit in the back by one of Syn ' s Yuuzhan Vong thud bugs but managed to evade Syn ' s blasterfire , disarming the man by using the Force to call Syn ' s blaster to him . The Jedi asked Syn why he was attacking him as he cut three more bugs in half with his lightsaber . When Syn accused Tuum of murdering his father , the Jedi used the Force to throw and pin Syn against a pillar and tangle him with nearby vines . Inquiring as to the identity of his attacker , Tuum allowed Syn , who had witnessed the Jedi kill his father , to tell his version of the events . After listening to Syn , Tuum explained that he sought to protect the miners who were being attacked by Syn ' s father and Rav , and implored Syn to admit to himself that his father was a bad man . When the Cathar asked about the girl whom Rav had taken , Syn told him that she was not all right , and left Tuum in the meditation garden . Later that night , Tuum — along with Skywalker ' s crew , Rawk , Azlyn Rae , and the Jedi Shado Vao and Wolf Sazen — witnessed as Skywalker ' s plan to assassinate Darth Krayt was rejected by the Jedi Council . Despite this , Skywalker ' s crew , Vao , Rae , and the Imperial Knights Ganner Krieg and Antares Draco traveled to the planet Had Abbadon . After ambushing Krayt , they believed they had successfully killed him . Ambush on Agamar . Sometime after Shado Vao informed the Council that Krayt had been killed , Tuum traveled with a Jedi contingent , led by Jedi Master K ' Kruhk , to the planet Agamar , in order to rendezvous with Emperor Fel and discuss an alliance between the Jedi and Fel ' s Empire . On the night before they met with Fel , Tuum had a discussion with Masters K ' Kruhk , Hira , and Shado Vao about Fel and his Empire , with K ' Kruhk insisting that the alliance was necessary for the moment . The next day , Tuum , Hira , and Vao were present for the successful negotiations between K ' Kruhk and Fel for an alliance between the two organizations . Shortly thereafter , Moff Nyna Calixte , who served in Krayt ' s Empire , betrayed the organization by arriving and warning the Jedi and Fel ' s Imperial Knight bodyguards that the Sith knew of the meeting and were coming with a task force to the Emperor . Tuum , his fellow Jedi , and the Imperial Knights prepared for battle as the Sith revealed themselves . K ' Kruhk instructed the Cathar and the other Jedi to defend the Emperor , believing that the galaxy ' s fate depended on Fel ' s survival . During the battle , Tuum and Azlyn Rae escorted the Emperor ' s daughter , Imperial Princess Marasiah Fel , to the Imperial delegation ' s shuttle , " Defender One " . As the three of them approached the shuttle , a group of TIE Predators shot at the ship . The ensuing explosion incapacitated Tuum and Rae , allowing the Sith to capture Princess Fel after the Emperor was evacuated aboard the shuttle without her . After Tuum and Rae awoke to find that the Princess had been captured , they reached out with the Force and sensed that the Sith were taking her to Coruscant . Three days after the Sith ' s attack on Agamar , Tuum and Rae ambushed the Sith Yuln and Bokar , who were searching for survivors of the battle , and killed them . After finding the deceased Sith ' s attack ship , Rae expressed her distress over failing her duty to protect Princess Fel . Tuum insisted that it was the Force ' s will that she was captured , but he eventually agreed to help Rae with her attempt to save the Princess . They strove to infiltrate the Sith – Imperial fleet above Agamar aboard the Sith attack ship , and tried to board the " Pellaeon " - class Star Destroyer " War Hammer " . However , the " War Hammer " docking codes had been changed , and Tuum and Rae were assaulted by other Sith attack ships . They managed to escape and headed for Bastion to inform Emperor Fel and the Imperial Knights of the Princess ' s location on Coruscant . After arriving , Tuum and Rae transmitted the proper clearance codes to Fel ' s forces , which enabled them to bypass the mines in Bastion ' s orbit . They landed on a docking pad with Imperial Knights Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg , Master armorer Hogrum Chalk , and the Jedi Shado Vao waiting for them . After disembarking , Draco verbally berated Rae for not successfully protecting Princess Fel . Tuum attempted to calm him down but was Force - pushed across the landing platform by Draco . Vao then warned the Imperial Knight not to strike his ally . Ultimately , Draco , Krieg , and Vao successfully rescued Princess Fel from the Sith world Korriban , although Draco was captured during the mission . The war ' s end . In 138 ABY , the Hidden Temple was attacked by the reborn Darth Krayt ' s Sith forces , and the Jedi had to evacuate to Bastion . There , the joint forces of the Jedi Order , Fel ' s Empire , and the Galactic Alliance planned to strike at the heart of Krayt ' s Empire , Coruscant , and attempt to retake the planet . Tuum joined a strike team that was supposed to infiltrate Coruscant before the main invasion force and disable the computers that controlled Coruscant ' s orbital defenses . The strike team was led by Morrigan Corde — the alter ago of Moff Calixte — and also included Skywalker , Vao , Sazen , Rae , and Masters Krieg and Sigel Dare . The team was covertly brought to Coruscant on Skywalker ' s ship , the " Mynock " , and reached the computer center two minutes before the main attack was set to begin . The strike team ' s appearance surprised the Imperial technicians and stormtroopers stationed there , and Tuum and the rest of the group engaged them in battle . Krieg , Vao and Skywalker managed to destroy the computers , disabling the orbital defenses and allowing the allied fleet to safely emerge from hyperspace near the planet . As the full - scale battle erupted , the strike team , led by Skywalker , set off toward the Temple of the Sith to confront Darth Krayt . At the entrance to the temple , however , they were confronted by a number of Sith , including the high - ranking Sith Darth Talon and Darth Stryfe . Intent on stopping Skywalker , Talon led the Sith into an attack on Skywalker ' s group . During the following battle , Dare was wounded , and Sazen was struck down , although he managed to take Stryfe with him . Bested by Skywalker , Talon left the scene in order to warn Krayt of the impending attack . Urged by Vao , Skywalker followed her , while Tuum and the others remained to hold off the Sith . Skywalker was able to kill Krayt , and Krayt ' s death drove his loyal Sith troopers insane , as they attacked the allies and the Sith alike . Tuum and the strike team cut down the Sith troopers , and the battle — and the entire war — was soon over as the remaining Sith fled from Coruscant . In the aftermath of the battle , Tuum was present at the funeral of Roan Fel , who had fallen to the dark side during the battle and had been killed by Draco . During the funeral , the new galactic government was announced , the Galactic Federation Triumvirate , consisting of the Duros Admiral Gar Stazi , Master K ' Kruhk , and the newly - crowned Empress Marasiah . Personality and traits . The Cathar male Rasi Tuum believed strongly in the will of the Force and felt that every action was guided by the Force . Although he did not enjoy taking an individual ' s life , he believed that the Force willed that a Jedi ended a life on occasion , and also felt that sometimes a wicked person ' s life needed ending . However , Tuum never killed anyone when there was another choice and sought only to protect those he deemed innocent . Despite questioning whether the Jedi could trust Emperor Fel after the Sith were defeated , he nonetheless helped to protect him when the Sith – Imperials attacked the delegations on Agamar . After reuniting with Azlyn Rae , his former Padawan , and discovering that she was an Imperial Knight , Tuum questioned her as to whether she was loyal to the Jedi or the Imperial Knights . While he understood that the Imperial Knights completed her training , he believed that Rae was truly a Jedi in her heart and that she would always yearn for the Jedi way , despite the fact that her duty to the Imperial Knights was clear in her mind . During the battle of Coruscant , Tuum was determined to protect the other members of the strike team from the attacking Sith led by Talon . Tuum wore a set of brown Jedi robes and a necklace . He used a lightsaber containing a green crystal up to the time of the Sith ' s attack on Agamar . During that battle , Tuum utilized a blue crystal in his lightsaber .
