- — Halak Ofdirin
Halak Ofdirin is a relatively young Sage that was spawned from his progenitor, Dirin Ofnasha, a few years after the end of the War of Darkness. Like all members of his race, his base form is an immobile crystal, but he can make partnerships with other animals or species to inhabit their body in exchange for perfect health and long life for as long as the partnership lasts. His preferred avatar is as a Juoian Turque and he has rarely switched forms since making that partnership.
Halak was initially taught how to use the Force by his progenitor, but decided to leave for the New Tython Temple to learn from other teachers and to help Headmaster Kalja Sairu Leidias with the operations there. He felt the Sages still owed the Leidias Family a debt after Tulsar Leidias helped to save the Sages from being wiped out by Sivter.
After graduating to the rank of Jedi Knight, Halak took on the primary responsibility of scouting out the wilderness around the Tython Temple to make sure it remained safe for the students. He also occasionally runs scouting missions to other areas of Tython to investigate some of the ancient sites that litter the planet.
