Carnor Jax

Carnor Jax was a Royal Guard that made a bid for the vacant throne of Emperor Palpatine. Jax's ambition requires that he gain control of the Galaxy, and to do that, he and his co-conspirators sabotaged the last clones of Palpatine, causing the Emperor's final death. In order to protect himself from the Emperor's loyal Guard's, Jax has his legion of Stormtroopers ambush the remainder of the Royal Guard's, with the exception of Kir Kanos.

This situation is a concern for Jax, which causes him to launch a Galaxy wide manhunt for Kanos. Following Kanos to Phaeda, where Kanos aids a band of Rebels under the command of Mirith Sinn in defeating his would-be Imperial captors. Jax and reinforcements arrive, only to learn that Kanos has fled to Yinchorr, where the men trained with each other to achieve their appointments to the Royal Guard. . . and where their final showdown occured and Kir Kanos as the only surviving member of the once prestigious group.

Note: Carnor was also a skilled Dark Jedi, his poweres rivaling Anakin Skywalker during his days as a Padawan.
