Alec ( Jedi ) Alec was a male Human Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order during the final years of the Galactic Republic and operated before the Clone Wars started . He began training a Padawan learner , Saren Valek , but lost him to the dark side and then spent several years tracking the person who had seduced Valek . Although respected by his peers , Alec was a loner among the Jedi Order , working undercover instead of doing so in tandem with other Jedi . However , he developed a vast array of non - Jedi contacts , including outlaws and spies who helped him in his goals . Biography . Alec was a little - known but respected Jedi Knight active in the last years of the Old Republic . He was training a Padawan learner by the name of Saren Valek until 34 BBY . At that point , Valek was seduced by the dark side of the Force thanks to Karae Nalvas , a fallen Jedi . Valek abandoned his master and took Alec ' s lightsaber with him . From that point onwards , Alec began tracking Nalvas . The Jedi High Council approved Alec ' s self - imposed mission , confirming that Alec was in no danger of falling to the dark side himself because he only wanted to capture Nalvas to stop him from committing further evils , not to get revenge . As such , the Jedi Order graciously moved out of Alec ' s way , allowing him to perform his mission anyway he would want , but they were also ready to provide him with backup should he asked for it . During the following three years , Alec tracked Nalvas but was unable to stop him . In 31 BBY , Alec discovered Nalvas in the Cularin system , acting under the pseudonym of entrepreneur Fesvk Wefos . The Cularin system had its own praxeum , the Almas Academy , but Alec contacted the Academy and they agreed not to take action until Alec or the Council asked them to . Alec discovered that Nalvas was building a city - sized flying fortress in the gas giant Genarius , and Alec theorized that Nalvas would use it to destroy the other cities in the planet , which were the main business , industrial and distribution centers in the Cularin system , and provoke a war . Alec stole the blueprints of this artifact , known as the " Conkesta " , and disappeared in the Genariusan city of Depatar . Depatar , the City of Masks , required any outsider to dress in disguise full time , so Alec got a mask of albino Wookiee . The city was also a bureaucratic conundrum , so outsiders hired specialized permitor s to get them the required permits for anything . Alec hired Delan , a very good Twi ' lek permitor . He also hired Danil , a guide and pilot , although Alec provided his own ship . During his stay in Depatar , Alec researched about the local economy in the Grande Game casino , while at the same time he obtained a good profit . He then visited a bar , Club 111 , where he danced and drank Ithorian brandy before leaving with Danil to go the Five Star Entertainment theater . As Alec needed to remain in Depatar for a time , Danil looked for a side - job as theater porter , and Alec used a theater box to hide himself and his earnings . Alec also hired several soldiers to provide him with sniper cover if needed but , as he felt he had no more need for a permitor , he paid Delan a week of vacation in Dorumaa . Meanwhile , Nalvas understood what had happened , and recognized the presence of his old sparring . Pretending to be Wefos , Nalvas hired a team of adventurers in nearby planet Cularin to find Alec and the blueprints . Two weeks after Alec ' s arrival to Depatar , Nalvas told his employees that Alec was a missing courier who was carrying important documents of a new resource extraction device , and his company would suffer without them . Nalvas knew that , should his people find Alec , Alec would tell them the truth . He only wanted to keep Alec busy while Nalvas himself took the blueprints from his supposedly secret hideout . Alec noticed the newcomers sent by Nalvas following his tracks through Club 111 and Grande Game . He hired a group of out - of - town thugs to dissuade them , and a permitor for the thugs , Sadana . However , the newcomers were not persuaded and tracked Alec to the theater . Alec met personally with them , with his soldiers providing cover as intended , revealed himself as a Jedi and told them the truth about Nalvas . He refused to hand the blueprints , but offered to greet " Wefos " . Alec convinced Nalvas ' s people to join him . Danil , Alec and his new friends went to Cularin to their rendezvous with " Wefos " in a local tavern , Bath Rabbud ' s . Nalvas did not appear , sending instead an astromech droid with a hologram of himself mocking and showing the blueprints , and a frag grenade with which he intended to kill his enemies . The explosive was not as effective as Nalvas had expected . Alec survived , and promised to call his new acquaintances as soon as he could form a plan against Nalvas . In the following two weeks , Alec discovered that the " Conkesta " was almost operative and hidden near the core of Genarius . Alec recruited Doctor Shilaea Motacc , an expert in planetary propulsion who had been working for the false Wefos without knowing his real plans . Alec provided Motacc with several slicers , with whom she developed a computer virus to send the non - spaceworthy " Conkesta " to the outer space , where it should be destroyed . This would require for someone to sneak into the " Conkesta " and operate the propulsion main control . Alec also dealt with a couple of Bothans , who provided them with information : The " Conkesta " had a deal with a local pirate gang , The Red Fury Brotherhood , with the Brotherhood supplying the " Conkesta " with consumables and technology . Many of the pirates would be in the annual SoroSuub party of nearby city of Tolea Biqua , leaving their base with an skeleton crew . Alec decided that a small team could steal a shuttle from the pirate base , and then go to the " Conkesta " in a ship that Nalvas would be waiting . Alec contacted with some independent adventurers , the heroes of Cularin , sending a holomessage in a droid . He and Dr . Motacc met with them in the Bath Rabbud ' s , in the supposed ' fans of foreign drinks ' meeting . Alec and Motacc asked the heroes to help them with his plan : If they could raid the " Conkesta " and load the virus , then Alec himself could go after Nalvas and try to capture him . Alec told them that , should the alarms activate , then they should escape and try again another day ; however , Alec ' s plan included sneaking himself in the " Conkesta " and activate the virus during the chaos . While the heroes of Cularin were performing their task , Alec found and chased Nalvas from the moment Nalvas left the Cularin system asteroid belt , but Nalvas managed to lose Alec . Alec then went to Tolea Biqua , discovered that the heroes of Cularin had successfully finished their mission , and greeted them during the city - wide party . Alec managed a honor reception for his friends , including Jedi from the Almas Academy and authorities from Genarius . Personality and traits . Although he knew how to go unnoticed , Alec was a charismatic person who could easily attract other people to work with them , including Shilaea Motacc and several slicers and Bothans , as well as at least ten soldiers or mercenaries during his stay in Depatar . He was nevertheless a lone wolf , rejecting the help of the Jedi Order or the Almas Academy in favor of a one - man approach to the mission — even if his mission , the capture of Karae Nalvas , had been avoiding him for several years . Some people considered Alec to be a paranoid and simply ignored him . Contrarily to other Jedi , Alec used both a blaster pistol and a lightsaber , which is believed to have been built by someone other than himself . Even then , he was very respected among the Jedi : The Almas Academy , recognizing that Nalvas was a threat , agreed to " not " move against Nalvas until Alec ( or the Jedi Council ) asked them to . Alec was a dedicated warrior , relentlessly tracking Nalvas to bring him to justice , but refusing any personal vendetta against him and avoiding so the dark side of the Force . At the same time , he apparently considered Valek to be a lost cause , not worth a tear in his state as a servant of the darkness : Alec only talked about Valek as a powerful enemy to be vanquished . When Valek was killed , Alec asked for Valek ' s lightsaber , but this might have been because it had been built by Alec himself . Alec was in good terms with many Jedi , including several Jedi Twi ' leks . He had never met Nerra Ziveri . Alec hired some of his helpers , including Danil , his personal pilot and guide to Depatar ; and Delan , his permitor in Depatar . This staff was qualified , handsomely rewarded and ready to stay with Alec for unexpected lengths of time , suggesting that Alec had access to money to pay them . He was known to earn money gambling , and he might use his Force skills to influence the randomness of the games . He did own a ship , but lacked the skills to pilot it . Although Alec ' s fighting skills and general prowess were well below his enemy Nalvas ' s , Nalvas chose to run away from the system instead of dueling him . Later , Alec left the system to track Nalvas again .
