:"What would you have be done with him, Atris? Be mindful of your feelings. This is not Revan who stood before you. This one walks a different path." — Zez-Kai Ell

:"You are different. When I look at you, it is like staring at the death of the Force." — Kreia

Biography

The Exile was a Jedi Knight, possibly trained by the Jedi Master Kavar, on par with most Jedi Masters of the time, who studied - and taught - at the Academy on Dantooine. Before he could begin his trials to become a Master and take on his own apprentice, the Mandalorian War surged through the galaxy. The Exile, overwhelmed with compassion for the lives lost to the ravages of the Mandalorians on the Outer Rim, joined the Republic forces led by Revan, the first Jedi Knight who had defied the Jedi Council in order to meet the Mandalorians in battle. The Exile left a prospective Padawan, Mical (the Disciple), without a master.

The Exile served as a general under Revan during the Mandalorian Wars. Overseeing the final, titanic battle at Malachor V, The Exile gave the order to activate the mass shadow generator. This generator crushed both the Republic soldiers and Mandalorians caught in the weapon's destructive sphere. The amount of death and destruction caused such a substantial 'wound' in the Force that the Exile found himself suddenly and completely severed from it. The only Jedi under Revan able to turn away from the dark side after Malachor V, the Exile was also the only Jedi to willingly return to Coruscant, to face trial for his actions - and defend them.

Despite an impassioned plea, the Jedi Council decreed that because the Exile defied the Council's wishes and followed Revan to war, he was to be cast out of the Jedi Order. In reality, the Council feared the 'wound' in the Force that surrounded the Exile. Some on the council felt that they were punishing the Exile not because of what he did, but because he was symbolic of the many Jedi that had fallen to the dark side over the course of history, and the only one the Council could avenge themselves on. These council members felt that the Exile was the perfect opportunity to examine why and how so many Jedi fall to the dark side. More conservative council members, however, felt no need to do more than exile the former Jedi. At first, the Exile believes that the Jedi Council severed him from the Force as part of his punishment. Later, it is learned that the Exile unknowingly severed himself from the Force in order to save himself from the destructive Force wave that came from the death of all the beings at Malachor V and of the planet itself.

Full details of the Exile's travels in the Outer Rim are unknown, but it is known that Atris had orchestrated his return to known space; in order to attract the growing Sith threat, she leaked news of his return to the galaxy and, predictably, attracted the Sith's attention. However, the Ebon Hawk rescued him from an unappealing fate. With the help of the utility droid T3-M4, the Ebon Hawk was guided to the mining facility at Peragus II.

There he met with an old woman named Kreia. She was a mysterious Jedi Master - and the first, among many - who trained the eventual Sith Lord, Darth Revan. When he fell to the dark side, she was blamed for his demise by the Jedi Council and exiled from the Order. She would eventually guide the Exile through his journey to find the missing Jedi Masters who sentenced him to exile, and reinstruct him in the ways of the Force. While searching for a way off the abandoned station, the Exile encountered Atton Rand, locked in the brig. After Darth Sion and a force of Sith Assassins arrived to kill the Exile (believing he was the last of the Jedi), the three escaped with T3-M4 onboard the Ebon Hawk and traveled to Telos. During their pursuit by the Sith in the asteroid field around Peragus, laser fire ignited the volatile fuel within the asteroids. This explosion destroyed both the facility and the entire asteroid belt, though the Ebon Hawk and the Sith were able to escape.
