Joruus C'baoth

Joruus C'baoth (pronounced /dʒo'ɹus sə'beoθ/) was an insane Dark Jedi who played an essential role in the Thrawn campaign. A clone of the Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth, who led Outbound Flight, he was created by Palpatine in an attempt to perfect the cloning process of Force users. After killing the Guardian of the Imperial storehouse at Mount Tantiss on Wayland, C'baoth used his Force powers to rule over the natives of Wayland.

In 9 ABY, Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered the existence of the storehouse and traveled to Wayland. He succeeded in recruiting the Dark Jedi to join him in his campaign to destroy the New Republic, promising that he would capture Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo and her unborn twins so that he could take them as his apprentices. In exchange, Thrawn would have C'baoth make good use of his battle meditation to enhance his forces' performance. C'baoth later attempted to lure Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo to the dark side of the Force as part of a plan to seize Thrawn's forces for himself.

However, as Thrawn's plan entered its final stages, Thrawn ordered that C'baoth be imprisoned in Mount Tantiss, as he had finally realized the threat the insane clone posed to his plans. After taking control of the Imperials left to guard him on Wayland, he was confronted by New Republic forces, including Luke Skywalker and the Force-sensitive smuggler Mara Jade. The two dueled with C'baoth, and Luke dueled with the clone C'baoth had requested to Captain Pellaeon. C'baoth, when he seemed to have lost, unleashed a Force scream, stunning everyone in the room. He began to bring the ceiling down on Mara Jade in excessive rage. However, Mara used Leia's lightsaber to cut holes in the floor so the rocks fell through, leaving her a clean path to C'baoth. After C'baoth demanded that she follow him to the cloning room, Jade refused and charged, stabbing and ultimately killing him. C'baoth's body blew up in a blast of dark side energy.
