Koses Lik-Har

"You were never a Sith. You will become a Jedi, and a good-willed one at that."

"I'll try my best."

- Koses exchanging words with his master after becoming Jeden's padawan.

Koses Lik-Har was a Jedi Padawan and former Sith Acolyte during and after the Clone Wars. Born on Ryloth to a group of travelling merchants, Koses was abducted by Darth Nelox, a Sith who had formed her own order known as the Grand Sith Order. Forced to become a Sith, while many of the other Force-users like Koses soon came to enjoy being Sith, he felt remorse from his actions and started to grow more and more like a Jedi, though he hid these feelings from fear of death. Due to his powerful Force abilities, Koses managed to get to a rank where he had his own lightsaber and became captain of the guard for the Sith Academy on Korriban.

Early life
Koses was born on Ryloth to parents who later abandoned him, leaving him in the care of merchants going from planet to planet. When he was in his young teens, Koses was abducted by agents under the control of Darth Nelox, a Twi'lek Sith Lord who wished to make the Sith a dominant force in the galaxy once more, unlike the more secretive dealings of those such as Darth Sidious or Darth Tyrannus. While Nelox had the ability to brainwash most to her will, she thought that Koses would not be able to harness his power as well should she do this, and so she instead subjagated him to her will.

The Grand Sith Order
Becoming a Sith Acolyte, Koses despised every moment he spent with the Sith, and refused to become a Sith. He would instead fake his devotion, and only used the dark side when it was necessary, often meditating on the light side of the Force to counter the dark side's lure. Despite the fact that many hated him, it could not be argued that Koses had incredibly strong Force abilities, so he



was made the captain of the forward scouts, a role many thought was given to him so that he had less interaction with the Sith. This would later backfire on them.

After Nelox was killed by Nightingale Squad, a group consisting of Jedi Master Jeden Vesal and his four Clone troopers, the Order nearly descended in to chaos, kept afloat by Darth Krasor, a hate-filled man who made it the duty of the Order to destroy Nightingale Squad. The Squad, alongside Jedi Masters Obi-wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto infiltrated Korriban, landing a few miles away from the Sith Academy, to invesitagate the Order.

Becoming a Jedi
"I don't buy this for a second."

- Twenty after Koses challenged Jeden to a duel.

Confronting Jeden and one of the Clones, Twenty, Koses thought it best to try and prove his worth to the Sith, so he activated a camera to record the event before challenging Jeden to a duel. Jeden accepted, sensing the light side in Koses and hoping that he could show him the light. After a lengthy duel pitting the Force abilities of Koses against the lightsaber skills of Jeden, the Jedi won and held Koses at blade's end. While Koses, actually believing the lies of the Sith that Jeden would execute him, was surprised when Jeden deactivated his blade and offered to help him leave the Sith, telling Koses that he could sense the light side within him. Koses accepted Jeden's offer, and Jeden, sensing the truth within him, sent Twenty to escort Koses to Jeden's ship.

After Jeden's failed mission to defeat the Sith, Jeden took Koses to the Phantom, the Venator-class cruiser that Jeden commanded. After speaking with the Jedi Council, it was finally decided that Koses would be taught to become a Jedi, and Jeden would be his master. Becoming Jeden's padawan, Koses promised to right his wrongs.

The Clone Wars
Koses would soon join Nightingale Squad on many of their missions, and became known as a talented starfighter pilot. Often the one to use Jeden's starfighter, Shadowstorm, Koses also commanded the starfighters of the Phantom during space battles. During the Battle of Coruscant, Koses led a squadron of 20 Arc-170 starfighters, and won acclaim after shooting down over 100 Vulture droids and Tri-fighters.

Personality and characteristics
Koses was a caring, gentle man who had a great compassion for all except the Sith. Despite the fact that he was part of the Grand Sith Order, he wished to either please his masters completely or abandon them. After becoming a Jedi, Koses was mistrusted by mant for his past, but was liked among many for his optimistic attitude. Not only this, but Koses was always one to encourage others, be they Jedi or Clones.

Koses had long, jet black hair and pale skin, along with green eyes and a finely cut beard. As a Sith, he wore simple black robes and a hooded cloak, but his outfit changed when he became a Jedi. He now wore white robes with grey vestments underneath and black arm bracers and boots. He also wore multiple belts and his robe had a large hood.
