Zak Koroen

Zak Koroen was a Human Jedi Master around the time of the New Republic. Born on the planet Tyst, he was trained from birth in the ways of the dark side of the Force by the Dark Jedi Wonger Krekt. However, a chance encounter with the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker convinced him that the dark side was wrong, and he joined Skywalker's New Jedi Order.

Koroen was trained by the Master Moroen Pekeye, and soon reached the rank of Jedi Knight. He fell in love with and married fellow Knight Meno Kalen, with whom he had three children: Shmi, Gret, and Reto Koroen. Koroen and his wife fought together in the Droid Wars, during which time the Sith lord Darth Xana gained an interest in him, noting that Zak would make a powerful Sith.
