Zell Coo-Neo

Zell Coo-Neo was a human Dark Jedi and the focal point of the Coo-Neo Crisis and he was the younger sibling of Jedi Knight Scott Borek. Zell's past is fairly mysterious after the death of his parents when he was kidnapped immediately afterward in 39 BBY. He grew up to become a Dark Jedi and some say was the herald of death and war, because of the historical events resulting posthumously.

He was responsible for the destruction of a Republic prison on Dontamo and farms and cities on  Telos IV. Though his run of anarchy and destruction was short, it had a lasting impression on the Jedi Order, Republic and on the Great Militia Debate.

Early Life
Though he was the younger sibling of the eventual Jedi Knight Scott Borek, his Force potentially was substantially lower than that of his brother. His parents loved them equally, but when Borek was taken to the Jedi Temple he was all they had left and held on to him for dear life. That devotion to Zell cost them their lives when an unknown dark jedi murdered them and kidnapped their last son when he was 4 years old. Zell was then given the name he would remember for the remainder of his life, simultaneously destroying not only his original identity, but eradicating nearly all the good in him.

Coo-Neo Crisis
Coo-Neo completed enough of his dark training to make his master deem him ready to reveal himself to the galaxy and more importantly to Scott Borek his brother. The riots and brainwashing of the Dontamo prison and prisoners was to draw the recently Knighted and emotionally unstable Scott Borek to the prison and into a trap set into place by Zell's mysterious operators. Zell engaged Borek in a duel in order to give Borek information that would push Borek further down the path and more instability. He revealed a seed of the truth about Zell forcing him to doubt the Jedi and his place.

Later Coo-Neo attacked and raised the Agricultural Corps farm on Telos IV and part of the city to draw Scott back and to create discontent in the Senate. Borek arrived with a fleet of ships and fighters to engage and annhiliate the opposition. The forces did, but not before Zell and Scott engaged in an emotionally charged duel aboard Zell's flagship. Zell began to feel doubt himself after his initial duel with his brother, and formulated a plan to surrender his brother. He initially feigned his unwavering allegiance to the dark side to keep his crew in the dark, but quickly changed his tune during the fight much to Borek's disbelief. His brother nearly turned to the dark side, but Zell prevented it by taunting his brother and thus keeping Borek's mind off his anger. Zell then turned to the light after Borek explained how his masters were using him for their own ends.

The brothers reconciled and conspired to get off the ship in a freighter much to the dismay of a distraught Phyllius Marks, whom fired upon the bridge of Coo-Neos ship. Coo-Neo died shortly after. He was taken off the destroyed vessel and creamated on a pyre on Telos. Zell finally found peace and the crisis was overted, though the damage would prove to be nearly irreparable.
