"So strong, we thought&hellip; so wrong&hellip;"

- Ajunta Pall

Ajunta Pall was a Dark Jedi, and later one of the first Sith Lords following the Hundred Year Darkness. He was likely the first Dark Lord of the Sith.

Biography

 * "I am that which grips the heart in fright, Harkens night and silences the light."

Ajunta Pall was one of the founding leaders of the old Sith during the time of the Old Sith Empire centered on Korriban, shortly after the Hundred-Year Darkness.

It was also what led to his eventual demise. He was among the first group of fallen Jedi that settled on Korriban. He was a master of Sith Alchemy. After his death, Ajunta Pall's spirit continued to haunt his tomb. Over the centuries, he began to question his actions as a Sith Lord and the downfall the Lords experienced at each others' hands.

During the Second Sith War, Revan entered Ajunta Pall's tomb, took his blade and turned the Sith Lord back to the light side almost three hundred generations after his death, allowing him to become one with the Force and experience peace at last. It is not known what eventually became of the blade, but Shaardan asked Revan to give it to him to gain Prestige.

Ajunta also hinted at a secret source of Sith power. He was unable to reconcile conflicted images of whether Revan had discovered this thing, or would soon do so. It is likely that he was referring to the Star Forge, though its connection with the ancient Sith is currently unknown (Althouht robots protecting the Tomb where designs only constructed at Star Forge and Sith dont usually take time to re-make traps that protect old masters secrets).

Behind the scenes



 * As it is known that Ajunta Pall was one of the earliest Dark Lords of the Sith, some have postulated that he is the unnamed Red-armored Sith Lord from the Tales of the Jedi: The Golden Age of the Sith comics. However, no canon source has yet to confirm the link, if any, between the two characters.


 * Ajunta Pall's tomb is one of the side-quests available in the Korriban segment of the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In the game, he recognizes the player character's true identity. The main character can either help him become one with the Force (for "light-side points"), fight him and destroy his spirit (for "dark-side points"), or fail to take him to the light and let his spirit fade away.


 * The origin of his name is unknown, but it sounds as if it is a South-Asian (Indian), or South-East-Asian name, i.e. Hindu or Buddhist. "Ajanta" is also the name of a town in India. He also speaks with a slight Indian accent.


 * Another possible explanation for the meaning of Ajunta Pall's name may include the term "junta", or military government, and the term "pall," or burial shroud. Though both of these terms could easily be tied to the Sith, this however is highly unlikely, and is merely the literal context of the name.


 * The statue of Ajunta Pall seen in his tomb is identical with the one seen in the destroyed Jedi Enclave on Dantooine in Knights of the Old Republic II, which could mean that Ajunta Pall was once a highly respected Jedi Master; however, this has never been confirmed.
 * Originally, this was supposed to be the tomb of Freedon Nadd, and the error is still present in a conversation option with Lashowe. Likewise, Pall is referred to as Nadd in the dialogue files and character *.utc file. This could have been a factor in Obsidian's decision to make Nadd's tomb on Dxun a playable location.


 * Despite being a well known Sith Lord, Ajunta Pall's clothing suggests no individuality, being the same most Dark Jedi wore during Revan's time. However, he could have been the first to garb himself in that manner, and many Dark Jedi simply mimicked his way of dressing.
