Vrook Lamar

"But like Vrook himself, that is incomplete in itself, and it only achieves meaning when part of a larger whole..."

- Kreia

Vrook Lamar was a Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi Council during the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War.

Biography
While Vrook's primary residence was the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine since at least 3,993 BBY, when he attended both the Council meeting on Dantooine that directed Shaela Nuur, Duron Qel-Droma and Guun Han Saresh to continue the Great Hunt, he also attended Council meetings in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. During the Mandalorian Wars, he was a member of both the main Council on Coruscant and its subdivision on Dantooine.

Before the Mandalorian Wars, Vrook debated Master Vandar Tokare about the Jedi Exile's apparent weakness in the Force and that he would fall to the dark side, while Vandar believed him to be a natural leader, saw his immense potential and believed he would become a powerful Jedi, not a follower of the dark side. In 3,960 BBY, he was present at the meeting on Coruscant that banished the Jedi Exile from the Order.

During the Jedi Civil War, he remained on Dantooine. Unlike other members of the Dantooine Council, he was against retraining Revan in the ways of the Jedi, fearing that he would re-embrace his identity of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Luckily for the Jedi and the Republic, his fears never came true. Like other Jedi Masters, he survived the destruction of the Enclave.

After the Jedi Civil War, Vrook was the only member of the Dantooine Council to survive the Jedi Conclave of Katarr, except, possibly, Master Vandar. Later, he went into exile on Dantooine. When the Jedi Exile restored the Council, Vrook participated in the restoration of the Enclave there. Even though Vrook's opinion about the Exile somewhat shifted towards positive after the First Battle of Dantooine, he still considered the Exile too willing to fight and not willing to observe the situation closely to see who the true enemies were.

Like two other remaining Council members, Kavar and Zez-Kai Ell, Vrook was killed by the Sith Lord Darth Traya during the Council meeting on Dantooine when they attempted to cut the Exile off from the Force.



Personality and traits
Vrook's high expectations of each and every Jedi pupil led many to perceive him as a grumpy, unappeasable individual, although he simply wished for all his students to be strong, capable Jedi.

Though he was extremely pessimistic and cynical, Vrook was one of the more active members of the Dantooine Council, often personally mediating disputes.

Like Zez-Kai Ell, he used the Ataru and Shien styles in combat.

He wielded a green lightsaber identifying him as a possible Jedi consular.

Alternate ending
The Jedi Exile fights him in a fierce duel and kills him. The duel is not an easy one beacause the Jedi Master is very strong. The Jedi Exile fights him during the attack on Khoonda. The Exile has a choice to help Khoonda or Azkul and his mercenaries. If the exile is dark and decides to kill the remaining Jedi, he has no choice but to fight Vrook.
