Azkul

Azkul (&mdash;3,951 BBY) was a veteran of the Jedi Civil War who later became a mercenary. Azkul, like Atton Rand, had been part of a special unit trained personally by Darth Revan to capture Jedi and turn them to the dark side by torturing them and dragging out their emotions. This special training gave him the ability to resist Jedi Mind tricks and to duel with a Jedi.

A good many former military personnel -- Republic and Sith alike -- suddenly found themselves out of a job with the end of the Jedi Civil War. Many of them, with no homes left to return to, turned to mercenary work, including Azkul. He journeyed to Dantooine and began making plans to overthrow the lawful Republic government there with his mercenary army.

In 3,951 BBY, he was hired by the Czerka Corporation to kill the Khoonda Administrator Terena Adare in order to destabilize the planet's economy. Unfortunately for Azkul and his mercenaries, the Jedi Exile and the Jedi Master Vrook Lamar were in the planet and their combined efforts were able to rally the settlers and conform a stronger militia, repair the inactive battle droids and auto turrets (and strengthening them to be as damaging, accurate, and durable as possible) and strengthen the minefields around the adminstration building, which caused heavy casualties. They also used the Exile's computer expertice to reprogram the droids and the turrents which previously fired on everything to only target the attackers, which saved milita who would later help in the breach of the Khoonda. The Exile also sealed the door to the armory, which caused Azkul to be forced to attack through the main milita force. Azkul, Dopak, and 8-10 of his men remained alive for a final assault on the administrator, but he was betrayed by his right-hand Dopak and finally defeated. There is much debate about if he was killed in the assault or healed as a POW, and if the later is true, if he and what remained of his fractured force were allowed to fight on the Republic/Allied side against the Lord of Hunger on Telos.

Behind the Scenes
If the Exile helps Azkul invade Khoonda, he later appears on Citadel Station, aiding the Telos Security Force in there fight against Darth Nihilus' forces.
