Dal Konur was a Force-sensitive male Human who fought for the Rebel Alliance and its successor, the New Republic, in the Galactic Civil War against the authoritarian Galactic Empire. Circa 12 ABY, Konur's Force potential was discovered, and he enrolled at the Jedi Praxeum, a Jedi academy located on the moon Yavin 4. He trained under the tutelage of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and soon became disgusted that the Jedi weren't using their Force powers as weapons to defeat the Empire. Two months after his arrival at the academy, Konur fled Yavin 4 aboard the school's supply ship, planning to travel to Imperial Space and assassinate the Moff Council, the Empire's governing body, to bring the Galactic Civil War to an end.

After arriving on the planet Ord Mantell, Konur made his way to the world Wayland, where he acquired some weaponry from a warehouse rented by the smuggler Arthen Brutt. The rogue Jedi then flew to the Bilbringi Shipyards and obtained a Firespray-31 attack craft, which he began preparing for his mission against the Empire. On Yavin 4, Skywalker discovered evidence revealing that Konur had explored the moon's Sith temples, leading the Jedi Master to suspect that Konur had fallen to the dark side of the Force. Skywalker sent some Jedi-allied agents to find Konur and return the rogue Jedi to Yavin 4, and they tracked him to Bilbringi. There, the agents confronted Konur inside the Firespray-31's hangar, and he engaged them in combat. After fleeing in the ship, Konur was forced to land on the planet Dathomir after his craft's hyperdrive burned out. He was imprisoned by Imperial forces present on the world but eventually escaped and started working for the Imperial General Vit, hoping to be able to get close to the Moff Council. Skywalker's agents tracked Konur to Dathomir and confronted him and Vit inside an Imperial communications center. On Vit's orders, Konur attacked the agents, but they eventually defeated the errant Jedi.
