Old Republic era

Olik Gryfe was a male Jedi of the Agricultural Corps during the New Sith Wars. He passed his Initiate Trials and was selected as a Padawan, but failed his Padawan apprenticeship. The Council of Reassignment transferred him to the AgriCorps and assigned him to the Jedi chapter house on Taanab. Disappointed, he elected to forego the title of Padawan and simply go by the rank "Jedi". Under the tutelage of the Jedi Knight Saotu, Olik and his fellow AgriCorps Jedi Finja continued lightsaber training.

Olik was present in 1,389 BBY when the Jedi Knight Tirien Kal-Di and his Padawan, Narasi Rican, visited the chapter house. Though he was excited to meet Tirien, having heard of the Jedi Knight's exploits, he found the meeting troubling as well; interacting with Tirien and Narasi reminded him unpleasantly of his own failure.

When the Sith sacked the chapter house, they killed Saotu and Finja, but when Olik attacked them in rage, they took him prisoner. Like most captured Jedi, he was given to Kai Latra for experimentation. Over the following two and a half years, Kai Latra and his Sith Acolytes mutilated Olik with Sith alchemy while preying on his feelings of resentment and rage to turn him to the dark side. By 1,386 BBY, he was numbly obedient to Kai Latra and had endured a number of mutations, including the additions of tentacles to his right arm, a new eye, hair and claws on his left arm, and partial flaying of his face.

The Sith captured Narasi and Aldayr Nikodon, imprisoning them in Kai Latra's Palace of Happiness. When the two escaped, Maalt Eilan sent Olik after them; he cornered them, but Narasi shook him by reminding him of his Jedi past. The Padawans managed to escape, and Olik was maimed by an industrial gear, losing most of his right arm. The mutant limb stanched its own bleeding, but Olik was shaken from his torture-induced stupor and remembered who he had been. When Narasi, Aldayr, and Tirien attempted to flee the castle, Olik agreed to stay and cover their retreat.
