Dray

"That's the thing about destiny. If something is fated to happen, you may as well relax when you get the chance. Almost certain doom can wait till tomorrow."

- Dray to Finn Galfridian Dray was a former Human male Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars. The apprentice of Jedi Master Salmara, he was part of a mission involving the renegade Sith Lord Darth Maul and his brother, Savage Opress. On Moorjhone, he saved the life of Master Judd from Maul, but was wounded as a result. He later lived on Nar Shaddaa in exile as the Order was being destroyed everywhere across the galaxy and the Galactic Republic became an Empire under the Sith.

At some point, Dray fell to the dark side of the Force. As the Yuuzhan Vong War began in 25 ABY, he saw visions of the enemy crippling the New Republic and the New Jedi Order. To prevent this, he believed that the contemptible Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya must die, as seen in another vision.

When discovered by the latest Jedi trainee Finn Galfridian, Dray manipulated him into becoming his apprentice and used him to get to Fey'lya. He almost succeeded on Coruscant, but Finn realized this deception and stopped him before fleeing the planet.

Clone Wars
Dray was born during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. He was deemed suitable for Jedi training, becoming the Padawan of Jedi Master Salmara. During the Clone Wars, Dray, his Master and Master Judd were tasked by the Jedi High Council to investigate on the Gossam Ja'boag and his motives to place a bounty on Darth Maul and Savage Opress's heads.

Holocron Gate-keeper
"I foresaw that we would meet. I am Dray. This is my holocron. It was by my design that it comes to you. For what I know is meant for you and you alone.&hellip;"

- Dray's holocron to Finn Galfridian

At some point before or during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Dray had a vision about the future of Finn Galfridian, the latest Padawan of the New Jedi Order and incorporated it in his holocron and made the information only accessible to Finn. He then set in motion a plan to get the holocron to him. The holocron also included information on Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators wearing ooglith maskers.

- Dray to Finn Galfridian

In 25 ABY, Finn Galfridian travelled to Nar Shaddaa in search of information and encountered Dray, who initially had difficulty recognizing the young Jedi.

As a holocron gate-keeper, Dray would later warn Finn about someone close to him being revealed for what they truly were and Tsalok hunting him. He also told Finn to travel back to Artorias. . On the way back from Artorias the holocron activated again, and told Finn that his past was now behind him and that he must come to Dray to learn his purpose.

When Finn arrived on Nar Shaddaa, Dray went looking for him and found him lying on the ground. Finn's droid, Prowl, explained that he had passed out. Dray was able to wake Finn. Finn admitted that Dray wasn't what he expected. Dray responded by saying that Finn what was he expected as he had been appearing to Dray in visions for a long time. When Dray took him into his room, he sensed a feeling of loss in Finn. Finn confided in him about his father's death, and asked Dray how he knew. Dray revealed to him that he had foreseen the event, along with the fall of Coruscant and the destruction of the Jedi Praxeum. He foresaw that the galaxy and the Jedi would survive these atrocities but not a weapon that the Yuuzhan Vong were currently creating, and that Finn was the only one who could stand against this weapon. When Finn suggested that Dray alert Master Skywalker to the threat, he refused, admitting that he and Skywalker did not see eye to eye. Dray told Finn that if Skywalker pooled all of the Jedi to stand against this threat, then there would be no one to stop the Yuuzhan Vong.

Visions and Assassins
When Dray received a vision of Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya being killed by Yuuzhan Vong, he and Finn traveled to Coruscant. He tasked Finn with locating the disguised Vong agents as he waited for word. He helped get Finn out of lockup when he was captured and was soon contacted to confront the Vong. Finn was at a disadvantage but soon realized that the Vong had no wish to harm Fey'lya as his cowardice made it easy to manipulate him. Suspicious, Finn questioned Dray's motives. Dray revealed his arrival by beheading one of the Vong with a red-bladed lightsaber and answering that he wanted the Vong out of the way, implying he was there to kill Fey'lya.

Powers and abilities
Dray was one to experience Force visions, though at an awkward capacity. The vision with the fall of Coruscant was so strong that it knocked him across a room in his hideout.

When he had revealed his dark nature, he fired a series of Force lightning at a squad of New Republic Palace Guards, killing them in a matter of seconds.
