Karak Ror

Colonel Lord Karak Ror, Fourth Duke of Atrakkis, was a scion of a Force-strong noble house when he was picked for Force training by Emperor Xal Shun in 10 BBY. His education included administration, diplomacy, statecraft and military command. At the age of 25, he became a Duke, inheriting his family estate on one of the worlds in the Isen Sector, as well as a level of responsibility in Shun's administration and Force hierarchy. One of his close allies was Earl Salphoris, who would eventually become the Jade Empire's representative from the Isen Sector.

His wife and one of his sons died in the Isen Civil war. During the course of the Bandit Kingdoms interregnum, Duke Ror kept a very low profile, doing his best to protect his domain and his remaining two sons. When Jade and Sandian forces conquered the sector, Ror threw his lot in with them.

Later, when the Jade Empire was fully unified, Ror turned his estate over to his oldest son and converted to the Light Side with the aid of the unique support group known as the Patriots. Enlisting in the Jade Empire Armed Forces, he was given the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, then promoted after his involvement in the Intelligence side of the Cold War.

Colonel Ror is one of the most senior Patriots in terms of experience, power and age, as well as an Intelligence officer focusing on internal affairs. He is in line to trade off with Sergeant Kalo-Kaa on the Jedi expedition to visit esoteric Force sects.

Kalo's military designation is Colonel, 4White.



Force Abilities
As a nobleman in Isen, Ror benefited from Dark Jedi training under Emperor Xal Shun. He is fully competant with the Core Powers, and knows the principles involved in Force Lightning but refuses to use it ever again. His lightsabre skills have been tested in battle and in personal duels.

Colonel Ror carries a staff owned by a Jal Shey Mentor who was killed by Shun. Although made of an unknown black wood, it is resistant to a lightsabre and has been known to alter Ror's perception of time. It also serves as a focus point for his abilities; he can use it to project fire or energy, similar to the staffs of the Bando Gora.
