Barel Ovair

"Ovair’s triumph over darkness was celebrated, and the Jedi Council assumed that all was well. the question no one asked was this: 'Why would Naga Sadow’s spirit seek vengeance, specifically against Master Ovair?'"

- Gnost-Dural

Barel Ovair was prestigious Jedi Knight of the Old Republic and spy for the Emperor of the Sith Empire. As a Jedi Master, he took a promising young apprentice named Eison Gynt and went on a mission to explore the tomb of Naga Sadow. He returned to Coruscant without his padawan, incoherant and half-insane, but successfully recovered from his ordeal. Gynt returned years later, possessed by the spirit of the Sadow, and attacked his master in broad daylight. Ovair killed him outright, being hailed as a hero by the Galactic Republic for his actions. It wasn't until years later that Jedi Historian Gnost-Dural made the connection between Ovair and the Sith.
