Taron Malicos

"It's like you said Malicos, Dathomir will be your grave."

- Merrin, to Taron Malicos

 Taron Malicos was a human male Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a Jedi General during the Clone Wars. During the war, Malicos became one of the Jedi's most trusted commanders and was renowned for his abilities as a tactician and motivator of his troops. Malicos's abilities as a general did not prevent his men from betraying him during Order 66. After escaping from his clone troopers, he crash landed on Dathomir, eventually falling to the dark side of the Force in the process.

During his time on Dathomir, Malicos met former Padawan Cal Kestis, Malicos tried convincing Kestis to join him on the dark side, though Cal refused. With the help of Merrin, who was one of the sole surviving Nightsisters, Kestis was able to defeat Malicos after a duel, resulting in Merrin burying Malicos alive with her magick.
