Jade Travis

Major Spoiler warning: Major plot or ending details for Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II follow.

Jade Travis, also known as the Jedi Exile, was a Jedi General who fought in the Mandalorian Wars. In the last battle, she gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator over Malachor V. She had a unique ability to form Force bonds rapidly, an ability which was only strengthened when the Force was lost to her on Malachor V. She was notable for being the only survivor of the battle who didn't turn to the dark side, the only Jedi who returned to the Council for trial. She was sent into exile beyond the Outer Rim, a punishment that saved her from the First Jedi Purge.

Last of the Jedi

 * "Why are the Sith looking for me?"
 * "Because you are the last of the Jedi. Once you are dead, then they have won." - Jade Travis and Kreia

Five years after the end of the Jedi Civil War, Jade returned to the galaxy to find everything in chaos; the Jedi Order had gone into hiding, and the Sith marched across an undefended galaxy. Stranded in a mining facility near Peragus, she soon met Kreia, an exiled Jedi who was once Revan's Master, and Atton Rand, an ex-Sith who had been imprisoned in the facility's brig. Jade also discovered that her connection to the Force had been restored, even though she had remained deaf to it for over five years. The group escaped the station shortly after the Sith arrived, and eventually made there way to Telos IV.

Lieutenant Grenn, head of Citadel Station's Security Force, sent the Exile on a hunt for the partners of a Genoharadan assassin that was impersonating a T.S.F. officer and had tried to kill Jade. On the surface of Telos, Jade encountered Bao-dur, an Iridonian who had served under her during the Mandalorian Wars. Barely escaping death at the hands of Genoharadan assassins, the group crash-landed in Telos' polar regions and discovered a hidden academy run by former Jedi Master Atris. While Atris was still bitter about the past, she agreed to let the group leave, and even returned the ship that one of her handmaidens had stollen. Upon leaving the planet, Jade discovered that the Ebon Hawk had taken upon a new passenger, one of Atris' servants, Brianna. Although suspicious, Jade accepted Brianna's offer to join the Exile on her mission.

The Exile's Quest
"The Sith have revealed themselves. They exist. Go, Exile, go find those Jedi that survived this war. From here, we can plan a course of action and carry the battle to them." - Vrook Lamar

The group landed on Dantooine, the former location of the Jedi Enclave. After freeing an ungrateful Master Vrook, she helped defend the colony of Khuunda from a Mandalorian attack. Vrook refused to tell Jade what had happened to her connection to the Force, or why it had returned, but gave her a mission; her return meant that the Jedi must come out of hiding, that the time to strike back had come. Vrook sent Jade in search of the remaining Jedi Masters, those that had banished her from the Order.

Jade travelled to Korriban, following a rumor that Master Vash had ventured there in search of Jedi artifacts from the Civil War. After confronting some inner demons inside the planet's network of caverns, she found the Jedi Master at the old Sith Academy. Before Vash could explain things to the Exile, Darth Sion arrived. Lonna spared Jade and took on the Dark Lord on her own. Jade soon found Vash dead, and Sion impossible to kill. Reaching the safety of her ship, she was confronted by Visas Marr, apprentice of Darth Nihilus. Defeated, Visas offered her services to the Exile, becoming the first of her many students.

The group next traveled to the Onderon System, in search of Master Kavar. The Ebon Hawk unwillingly became part of a space battle between two Onderonian political factions, and was shot down, crashing in the jungle moon of Dxun. In a nearby camp, Jade was welcomed by Canderous Ordo, the new Mandalore. He offered transport to Iziz, and Jade met up with Kavar in the palace. A political protest soon turned violent, and Kavar sent Jade away, claiming that his work on Onderon was not yet complete.

On Nar Shaddaa, as Jade searched for Zez-Kai Ell, a group of bounty hunters stalked her, hoping to collect on the Exchange's bounty on live Jedi. One of these bounty hunters, Mira, drugged the Exile and took her place in a meeting with the Exchange. As Jade went to rescue Mira, the Genoharadan once again got in the way, destroying a local bar in hope of killing the Exile. Although her companions believed her to be dead, Jade had been rescued from the explosion by Master Ell. He had been working with Mira, unaware of the Exile's intentions. Elseware, the party was ambushed by a variety of bounty hunters, and soon learned that Jade had been taken prisoner aboard Goto's Yacht. The group planned to rescue the Exile, changing the Hawk's transponder signature so that it would be captured by the Exchange leader. Aboard Goto's Yacht, Atton and Mira rescued Jade and the trio fought there way off Goto's ship, now the target of every piece of scum and villainy on the Smuggler's Moon.

Final Judgement
"You are opposites; he the body, and you the spirit. Together, you shall be unstoppable. Together, you will destroy the True Sith." - Kreia, speaking of Revan and the Exile.

As tensions grew on Onderon, Jade returned to help Queen Talia in the fight, and to call Kavar back to Dantooine. As Atton, Brianna, and Visas launched an attack against Naga Sadow's tomb on Dxun, Jade, Mira, Braynar, and Canderous defended Iziz. During the battle, Kreia informed General Tobin, Talia's opponent and one of Nihilus' servants, of a Jedi Academy on Telos, heavily exaggerating the details.

As Jade returned to Dantooine with Kavar, Nihilus launched an attack against Citadel Station, fueled by his constant hunger. Seeing the Exile as a grave threat, the Council began to strip Jade of her connection to the Force. Kreia interfered, destroying the three Jedi with the flick of a wrist She gave them their own punishment, severing their connection so that they could understand how the Exile felt on Malachor, before simply draining the life out of the three Masters. Next, she tricked Brianna into taking her to see Atris, leaving the Exile for dead on Dantooine.

The Battle of Telos began. The Exile's students, now fully fledged Jedi, joined in the fight to defend Citadel Station. As Visas and Canderous infiltrated Nihilus' ship, the Ravager, on the surface Brianna was forced to confront Atris, who had turned to the dark side, corrupted by the Sith artifacts studied in hope of rebuilding the Jedi Order. Jade arrived in time to save Brianna from Atris' wrath, and the two fought one last time, master versus apprentice. With Atris defeated, Jade took back her lightsaber, in doing so accepting the path of the Jedi once again.

On Malachor V, the Exile's students confronted Kreia, who had taken upon the mantle of Darth Traya, in the heart of the ancient Sith Academy. The Dark Lady struck down each Jedi with ease, and had Sion imprison them in the Academy's brig. Jade arrived some time later, defeating Sion by diminishing his will to live, and freed her friends. In the Trayus Core, Jade faced the woman who had opened the Force to her once again. Kreia's plan to destroy the Force itself had failed, though she had succeeded in training a worthy successor, one capable of defeating the True Sith.
