Here's a little Star Wars "ancient" history for you. Today's topic is a character from the Old Republic Era of the Star Wars universe.
Ulic Qel-Droma was a young Jedi Knight human, who like most heroes was tragic. He was born to a Jedi mother on Alderaan and had a brother named Cay. Ulic was found to be strong in the Force and was sent to train under Arca Jeth. In 4,000 B.B.Y., he along with two others, was sent to the planet Onderon to resolve the Beast Wars conflict. However, things are not as they always seem. Once there they found the leader of the uprising, Queen Amanoa to be a darksider. With the help of Arca Jeth they were able to destroy Amanoa and her influence on Onderon.
At least that's what they thought.
Two years later, the Freedon Nadd Uprising began. Again Ulic and Cay were dispatched to take care of the problem. After killing their King, who had been aided by Nadd's spirit, Onderon was finally free.
Upon arriving home Ulic found that two new darksiders were threatening an entire star system. He was sent to dispose of the threat with his newfound love Nomi Sunrider, but was met with heartfelt defeat when his master was killed and his fleet destroyed. Driven to desperation, Ulic joined their ranks as a supposed Fallen Jedi and over time actually came to believe in the ways in which he practiced.
Ulic became a Dark Lord of the Sith, second in rank only to Exar Kun the man who had shown him the true power of the Dark Side. Together they went on a rampage igniting one of the fiercest battles with the Sith the Jedi had ever faced, the Great Sith War. Their plan was simple, conquer the galaxy.
And they were nearly successful.
Near the end of the war Ulic battled his brother Cay. Distraught with his brother's betrayal of the Force, Cay had no choice but to duel Ulic. They fought furiously, ultimately leading to the death of Cay. Grief-stricken by his mistake, Ulic immediately denounced the Dark Side, but not before Nomi Sunrider, his former love, cut him off from the Force. Permanently. Broken, Ulic wandered the galaxy for nearly a decade afterward.
It wasn't until he met Nomi's daughter Vima that he would be truly redeemed. Shortly after his redemption Ulic was killed by a spacer named Hoggan, but like all great Jedi Ulic became one with the Force. His spirit would survive on for nearly 3,500 years before he met and gave advice to another tragic character Anakin Skywalker, the boy who would become Darth Vader.
