Daegen Lok

Daegen Lok was a male Human from the Tython system who was a member of the Je'daii Order, having been trained by Je'daii Master Quan-Jang. When the Despot War erupted in the year 25,805 BBY with the Despot Queen Hadiya's attempts to conquer the Tython system, Lok went undercover in Hadiya's Despot Army and became one of Hadiya's generals, not to mention her lover. Lok ultimately killed Hadiya, ending the war, and he was promoted to the rank of Master in 25,800 BBY. Overconfident in his abilities, Lok ventured into the Chasm, a rent in the surface of the planet Tython that drove mad all who dove too deep into its depths. There, Lok witnessed a vision of an army of dark warriors wielding blades of fire, and the vision drove the Je'daii mad, driving him to the dark side of the Force. The Je'daii Council refused to believe Lok's vision and banished him to the moon of Bogan, but the mad Je'daii held onto his vision, gathering his power in the dark side of the Force for the next seven years.

In 25,793 BBY, Lok received a vision of the dark warrior who led the army in his vision in the Chasm, and the young man—Xesh—arrived on Bogan as an exile only days later. Upon learning of Xesh's knowledge of the blades of fire, which he called Forcesabers, Lok recruited Xesh in his quest to create more of the weapons and thereby prove his vision to the Council. The two escaped Tython in a hidden starfighter in order to craft Forcesabers, pursued all the while by the Je'daii, who battled the two fugitives several times before a final encounter on the planet Shikaakwa. Lok's dreams of conquest were ended when Xesh was convinced to turn on the mad Je'daii, and Lok was imprisoned once more on Bogan as the Je'daii began to prepare for war with the Rakata Infinite Empire. However, as the Empire gained more ground, Lok was freed from Bogan and allowed to lead the Je'daii as a general.
