Rosh Penin

Rosh Penin was a Jedi student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 after the fall of the Galactic Empire. There, Rosh befriended Jaden Korr and both came under the tutelage of Kyle Katarn.

Rosh often felt like Anakin Skywalker did. He felt Kyle was holding him back. Soon Rosh was assigned to investigate Byss, where he was captured by the Disciples of Ragnos. At first, he thought he would be killed, but instead they converted him 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 to the Dark Side.



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. Jaden succeeded in killing the twins, and disarmed Rosh, just as Kyle arrived. Before Kyle and Jaden could capture and Rosh, Tavion invervened. She caused the ceiling to collapse, and Kyle was forced to use his powers to protect Jaden. 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 message to the Jedi Academy. Jaden arrived on Taspir and found Rosh who begged for forgiveness.

Jaden had some inner struggle but he decided to forgive him. Alora then showed up and sliced Rosh' arm off to provoke Jaden.

After the Disciples of Ragnos were over, Rosh went back to the Jedi and got a mechanical arm. His future career is not known, but if Kyle's prediction was correct, Rosh matured into a valuable Jedi Knight.
