Kirak Infil'a

"Apparently, Master Infil'a had precisely one purpose within the Order. To fight."

- Darth Vader's droid, to Darth Vader, on Kirak Infil'a

Kirak Infil'a was a human male Jedi Master. Infil'a specialized in combat during his time as an active member of the Jedi Order. At some point in his career as a Jedi he chose to take the Barash vow which forbade him from interacting with the Jedi Order as a form of penance. Because he was not an active member of the Jedi Order during Order 66, Infil'a escaped execution. Some time later, he faced the Sith Lord Darth Vader wielding a green lightsaber.

Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the Sith Lord off of a cliff. Despite severe damage to his suit, Vader survived the fall, and repaired himself with parts from Infil'a's droid, Arex. During their final confrontation, security personnel of the city. Vader force-pushed them off a cliff, but Infil'a saved them. Vader exploited Infil'a's compassion for innocents again by flooding the city nearby, and, while Infil'a was trying to stop the flood, Vader pulled Infil'a's lightsaber from his belt, and, after a brief exchange of words, with Infil'a pleading with Vader to take his life, but spare the innocent citizens, Vader snapped the Jedi's neck with the Force, killing him. He then sent Infil'a's body to the depths of the now created lake, to join the city's innocent citizens in an eternal sleep.

Personality and traits
Kirak Infil'a was a human male with white hair, grey skin, and grey eyes with a black sclera. During his time as an active member of the Jedi Order, his primary purpose was to fight. He eventually cut himself from the Order's activities by taking the barash vow. He did this to live alone inside the force until his true path as a Jedi became clear. When Darth Vader faced him, he declared his barash vow complete as his Jedi comrades were dead and his true path was to end with Vader's. During their seond fight with at Am'balaar City, Vader tried to cause the deaths of Am'balaar City police officers and other citizens. Infil'a went out of his way to save those, although it was a distraction and ultimately led to his defeat at Vader's hands.

Skills and abilities
"Fighting while assembling four padawan's traps at once, Master Infil'a? It seems ill advised, even for you." "The easy path rarely leads to a worthwhile destination, Arex."

- Arex and Kirak Infil'a, during a training session.

Kirak Infil'a specialized in lightsaber combat during his time as an active member of the Jedi Order. During his barash vow, he kept his skills ripe by training with a Jedi training droid named Arex. During the events of Order 66, Infil'a felt the deaths of almost every Jedi and a darkness within it. Shortly before Darth Vader's arrival, he managed to fight Arex and assemble four padawan's traps with the force at once. At the end of the training session he was able to sense Vader's approach and he used the padawan's traps to crash his ship. When he found Vader at the dam, Vader force choked him and he was able to break free and push Vader away. Vader came up to his monastery in the hopes of killing him, but he was able to best the Sith Lord, almost killing him. During their fight, Infil'a managed to deduce Vader's intention to obtain his lightsaber and also that he had a more powerful master. However, during his second fight with Vader, he let himself get distracted by rescuing citizens and police officers who Vader attempted to kill. It led to his inevitable demise as Vader force choked him to death and threw him into the flooded city below.
