Unidentified Jedi Knight (Dark Holocron)

A Human served as a Jedi Knight at some point by 5000 BBY. Believing that learning the use of the dark side of the Force could help eradicate it, the Knight eventually had an argument with his former master, another Jedi.

He was originally apprenticed to another Human Jedi. At one point, the Jedi Knight came to believe that the dark side of the Force—the opposite of the light side wielded by the Jedi Order—could be eradicated by first learning to use it, which he then decided to do. The Jedi Knight's choices eventually led him to an argument with his Jedi teacher. During the confrontation, the Knight became agitated and, having by that point become corrupted by the dark side, he let his own anger control his actions.
