Kol Skywalker

Kol Skywalker was a leader of the Jedi Council in the decades following the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Biography
An honorable and highly-motivated man, he preferred training to politics, and accordingly he tended to spend his time at the Jedi Academy on Ossus rather than the Temple on Coruscant. However, Kol was not simply a man of peace, but also a cunning warrior: he passed on this knowledge of combat to his students, believing that this made them better able to serve the ultimate end of peace throughout the Galaxy.

During his lifetime, Kol had two apprentices: first Wolf Sazen and then Shado Vao. Sazen later became the master to his son, Cade Skywalker.

Kol was the champion of the Ossus Project, and following the failure of the wider Vongforming project and the defeat of the Galactic Alliance in the Sith-Imperial War, he was one of the Jedi who withdrew to Ossus rather than submit to the Empire. He ultimately sacrificed himself in defense of the Academy during the Massacre at Ossus, giving Cade a chance to flee the ensuing chaos. Kol encourages Cade to flee and plunges into battle where is slain in combat with Darth Nihl.
