Rosh Penin

Rosh Penin was a Jedi student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 after the fall of the Galactic Empire. He was trained in the ways of the Force by Kyle Katarn.

Biography
Fourteen years after the Battle of Yavin, Rosh was heading to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. In the shuttle on the way to the academy, he met Jaden Korr, and the two eventually developed a friendship. Rosh often felt, as Anakin Skywalker had before him, that his Master was holding him back. Soon Rosh was assigned to investigate Byss, where he was captured by the Disciples of Ragnos. At first, he was afraid he would be killed, but instead they took advantage of his fear to convert him to the dark side, and he became an apprentice to Tavion, leader of the Disciples of Ragnos. The young man's naiveté and lust for power made it easy for the cult to turn him. He embraced the dark side and grew hungry for more power.

On Vjun, Tavion, the Kothos Twins, and Rosh led the cult's operations in Bast Castle to siphon the Force energies there. Kyle and Jaden interrupted the cult's operation. Jaden confronted Rosh in Vader's throne room, where Rosh, with the aid of the twins, dueled Jaden. Rosh and Jaden were fairly evenly matched until Jaden succeeded in killing the twins, and disarmed Rosh, just as Kyle arrived. Before Kyle and Jaden could capture Rosh, Tavion intervened. Shooting lightning about and disabling Kyle and Jaden, she revealed that she had taken on Rosh as her new apprentice. Attempting to save his life and the life of his master, Kyle Katarn, Jaden threw his lightsaber at the ceiling as Tavion was talking. Not willing to let Kyle and Jaden to escape nor risk her own life, Tavion quickly used the Scepter of Ragnos to make the ceiling collapse. Kyle used his powers to hold the ceiling just above his head as Jaden used Kyle's lightsaber to cut a route out. During the chaos, Rosh and Tavion escaped Vjun.

Some time later Rosh repented and tried to turn from the dark side while on Taspir III with Alora, Tavion's other apprentice. He sent a distress signal to the Jedi Academy. Kyle and Jaden arrived on Taspir III and began searching for Rosh. Jaden found Rosh, who begged for forgiveness for attacking Jaden on Vjun.

Jaden struggled with the dark side, but decided to forgive Rosh rather than slay him. Enraged that Jaden refused to join the dark side and the cult, Alora attacked Jaden. In the ensuing battle, Alora severed Rosh's left arm in an attempt to kill him for his disloyalty. After Jaden defeated Alora, Kyle arrived and took Rosh back to the Academy. There Rosh received a prosthetic arm.

Or Jaden can follow the dark side and kill Rosh then Alora, go to Koriiban and kill Tavion.

Rosh's fate following the conclusion of the Disciples of Ragnos crisis is unknown. Rosh likely remained at the Academy, and if Kyle's prediction was correct, he matured into a great and strong Jedi Knight, forgetting his turbulent past.

Alternate ending
The following is from the non-canonical ending of the game.

After Jaden finds Rosh on Taspir III, he gives into his hatred and anger, If you decide to kill Rosh, he will beg you to let go of your anger after you attack him. Jaden will ignore his request and impale him through the torso, mortally wounding him. Jaden then kills Alora and flees to Korriban. Kyle arrives as Rosh is dying and tells him that in turning back to the light, he became a full Jedi.
