Mical

"I do. I mean...he's alright, I guess. He is like someone who watches too many holovids...or teaches them. He'd get beaten to death on Nar Shaddaa as soon as he landed though!"

- Mira

Mical, or "The Disciple", was a historian who encountered the Jedi Exile during his journey to search for the Jedi Masters.

Biography
Mical was a Force-sensitive child chosen to be trained on Dantooine in the ways of the Jedi. However, he wanted to be trained by one particular Jedi who would later be labeled "the Exile", as he strongly felt the difference between him and Master Vrook Lamar: the latter, although wise and experienced, was not a natural leader and mentor.

However, when that Jedi joined the Mandalorian Wars against the wishes of the Council, when he returned as a war hero and was exiled - and when many other Jedi died in the wars, there were not enough Masters left to train the remaining students. Young Mical was among them, left without a teacher. He had to abandon his Jedi training, but retained his belief in the Jedi Code and the Republic.

Mical was one of the few who, in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War, made distinction between the Jedi and the Sith, who understood they were serving different purposes. He had no hatred, however, against those who hated the Jedi and blamed them for every single disaster that stormed the Republic; he knew the Jedi were doomed to be misunderstood - they were simply meant to be unlike those they cared for.

Eventually, he became a historian and a scientist, trying to preserve the knowledge of the Jedi, collecting and studying Jedi books, holocrons and whatever was left of the Order's heritage. Although history was Mical's main speciality, he also learned meditation techniques that allowed to quickly replenish one's Force powers - although he himself lost his contact with the Force - and received some medical training.

One of the places he visited was a library in the sublevel of the ruined Jedi Enclave on the so familiar Dantooine. There he was unexpectedly found by the Jedi Exile, who returned to Dantooine looking for Master Vrook.

Male Exile ending
Having finished his research in the Enclave, Mical returned to Khoonda and waited for the next transport off Dantooine. While still on the planet, he contacted Admiral Carth Onasi and reported that he found the Exile, whom the Admiral had lost when the Exile escaped Citadel Station. It is possible after the Exile left known space that Mical was trained to be a Jedi when the Jedi Order began to rebuild.

Female Exile ending
Mical joined the Exile's party and accompanied her aboard the Ebon Hawk. He was unable to hide his simple, ideal love for her, much to the displeasure of Atton Rand who was interested in a more "mature" relationship with the Exile. When Mical told her his story of a lost Jedi student, she helped him rediscover his connection to the Force. In turn, he offered his medical and meditation skills.

In the end, Darth Traya predicted that Mical would become a full-fledged Jedi involved in the Order's restoration and, finally, settle within the new Jedi Council.

Behind the scenes

 * Due to the Exile's gender being uncertain as of October 2005, it is unclear which ending is canonical.


 * The name Mical is only mentioned twice in the game, and only if the Exile is male - during Mical's conversation with Admiral Onasi (or Cede if Revan was dark). Throughout the game, he is only referred to as "the Disciple".


 * At some point in the original version of the dark side story Mical was supposed to fight Atton corrupted by the dark side. He was also supposed to guide the Exile to hidden Jedi and Sith holocrons. However, like a lot of other content, these ideas never made it into the final game although they did make it to the CDs.


 * The Jedi Exile has a chance to train Mical, making him a Jedi Consular.
