Xamar

"You are the Hand Lucien, not the mind! We sssay what we sssaw, or I do nothing!"

- Xamar demanding to confer with Krynda Draay before carrying out Padawan Massacre of Taris.

Xamar was a Khil Jedi Master. Trained by Krynda Draay, he was a member of a Jedi Covenant stationed on Taris.

Early years and Jedi training
Joining with three other students at the Draay Estate on Coruscant, Xamar studied under Krynda Draay for several years, honing his abilities to be come, in Krynda's opinion, the best seer of his species. After passing all of her trials he was admitted into the Jedi Order as a Jedi Knight and would go on to become a consular among the ranks of the Jedi.

Assignment on Taris
After becoming a master, Xamar was moved to the Jedi Tower on Taris to secretly recover the Muur Talisman. Because Xamar and his partners, all members of the First WatchCircle were keeping their real mission a secret and were under the guise of fortifying the city-planet from crime lords; the Jedi High Council felt that the masters were capable of training Padawans. Reluctant but in need of maintain a subservient demeanor, the masters accepted.

Near the end of his role as mentor to his student Gharn, the masters arranged for their Padawans to have a survival test on the Taris system's Rogue Moon, a place where the Force flowed freely and where the Masters could be alone; a time they needed for meditation on Covenant related issues. They envisioned the destruction of the Jedi Order and the rule of the Sith. Fearing this possibility, the four masters pointed out that the Sith in their visions wore a similar suit as their Padawans were wearing at the same moment. When Raana Tey demanded the Padawans be executed, Xamar refused to agree until Krynda Draay assented. Lucien Draay, the Hand of the Covenant, proceeded to lie and say that she approved which assuaged Xamar's feelings.

After a final celebration with the Padawans and their families, the Covenant members took their students to the Council chambers and executed them; though Lucien's own Padawan escaped. Blaming Carrick, the Taris masters quickly began to find the so-called fugitive.

Searching for Zayne
While his compatriots Feln, Raana, Q'Anilia, and Lucien pursued Zayne Carrick, Xamar remained behind at the Jedi Tower and communicated with Taris Security and contacts on Coruscant. Xamar advised them on their movements through the Undercity and warned of the Jedi Council's concern over the massacre and their demanding to know how they could allow a boy to kill four other students.

After much waiting it would not be until the bounty hunter Valius Ying captured Zayne and brought him into custody that Xamar and his partners would finally be able to set things right. Lucien told Zayne the truth in front of the hunter. He then murdered Ying in cold blood, and Zayne would have been next if not for the surprise rescue from Jarael and the crew of the Last Resort.

Weeks later, after a series of riots breaking out due to the escape of Zayne, Xamar and the other four members of Covenant received a message from Carrick, who gave them an ultimatum: confess and clear his name, or die at his hand. With Taris lost, the Jedi High Council recalled the masters to Coruscant for their failures.

The High Council's decision
Upon returning to Coruscant, Xamar and the other masters attempted to meet with Krynda Draay. However, they were denied entrance by the household droid. The Circle met with the Jedi Council and pleaded their point that they needed to be leading the search for the renegade Padawan. Master Vrook Lamar denied them and ordered that they be reassigned to separate postings.

Around the time of the Battle of Vanquo, Xamar was on Coruscant while the other former Taris Masters had been sent else where on separate assignment aiding the war effort, and had been assigned to Republic Security. Xamar later attended a memorial to Raana Tey but it was interrupted by a vision of the Muur Talisman.

Joining the Navy
After sensing the death of Feln, he and Q'Anilia traveled to the Draay Estate to confer with Lucien about their next move. Lucien told them that he had talked to Admiral Karath and had told him that Zayne and his friends were planning to raid Coruscant for the Mandalorians. He told Xamar to join him within the hour. Xamar became nervous, suggesting that they talk about a different solution, but Lucien said that this wasn't about keeping Zayne from exposing the Covenant -- it was about stopping the Rogue Moon Vision from reaching Coruscant.

Xamar gave in, though terrified for he remembered that in his vision, he had been with the Republic Navy when he was shot down by friendly fire. As he left the estate to join up with the Admiral, Q'Aniilia begged him not to go, telling him that he should not run towards his fate. Xamar replied by saying that it seemed he could not run from it, either, but that running may not be the only option.

Personality and traits
"Isss it sso ssimple? The ssshifting placesss, the chaosss--the meaning may not be dissstinct."

- Xamar argues against jumping to conclusions.

Like others of his species, Xamar possessed a sonorous voice and tentacles over his mouth. He wielded a green lightsaber and was the most cautious of the group, demanding things be done by the book. Out of all the Taris masters, he was the only one to refuse to act on his vision without conferring with the group's leader.
