== History ==
=== Star Wars: The Old Republic ===
Cen plays a vital role in the switch of power between the Sith and Jedi. Himself and his apprentice, Satele Shan come across both, Darth Vindican and his apprentice, Darth Malgus. Both sets of warriors intertwine in a ferocious duel with Kao Cen dominating Vindican, whilst Malgus gets the better of Shan. Once the battle comes to a standstill, Cen insists that his young apprentice takes her place on an escaping ship. She later passes her saber onto her master who quickly lunges back into battle. 
Master Cen's skill in on full display as he is able to hold his own against both Vindican and Malgus. As the battle continues, Malgus is pushed aside, leaving Cen and Vindican alone to duel for a short period. Cen defeats Vindican, delivering a lethal blow in the latter's torso. Before leaving, Master Cen is met once again with Malgus. The two collide, both present amazing skill with their sabers. However, Malgus defeats Master Cen and his apprentice, Shan is left saddened as she senses her master's fate.
=== Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire ===
Master Cen is mentioned throughout the Knight of The Fallen Empire series. 
=== Powers and Abilities ===
As a Jedi Master and Battlemaster of the Order, Kao Cen Darach was an exceptionally capable warrior whose proficiency in lightsaber combat was unmatched among his contemporaries. In combat, Darach used a green single-hilt lightsaber, and proved capable of handling a Sith Lord and his apprentice at the same time. Darach also demonstrated the use of a style of combat where he simultaneously used a double-bladed lightsaber and a single-hilt lightsaber, thus wielding an unorthodox form of Jar'Kai. In fact, he was the one who taught Satele Shan how to use a saberstaff. His combat abilities enabled him to eventually defeat Vindican, but he was ultimately overwhelmed by Malgus's rage and brute strength; however, Malgus had been one of the Sith Empire's most seasoned fighters long before the attack on Korriban, so Darach's defeat could only be circumstantial.
In terms of Kao's physical attributes, he is a very skilled acrobat and his agility helped him defeat Darth Vidican. He is also physically strong and ready for battle.
=== Equipment ===
Master Darach wore a complete set of armor, consisting in a suit with metal plates attached on his torso, arms, and legs underneath his standard jedi robes. Such armor design would later became common for Jedi fighting in the Great Galactic War. As it was tradition for the Jedi, the Battlemaster featured a green-bladed lightsaber at his side that featured a metallic handle and a single blade.
