Atton Rand, nicknamed "Jaq," was a pilot that helped the Jedi Exile defeat the Sith Triumvirate. Born on an unknown planet, he joined the Republic military and fought loyally under Revan in the Mandalorian Wars. His loyalty was so strong that he defected to Revan's side when the Jedi became a Sith. While under Revan, he was put through intense combat training to make him an effective Jedi Hunter. His job was to capture Jedi so that Revan and his acolytes could attempt to convert them into loyal Sith by means of torture and manipulation, and on pain of death. However, when a female Jedi prisoner revealed that he was Force-sensitive and that he would likely be subjected to such treatment himself, he went into hiding.

While working as a smuggler, he met up with the Jedi Exile. He traveled with her and aided her in her search for the lost Jedi Masters, albeit begrudgingly. However, she eventually freed him from his past and trained him as a Jedi.
