Sol

Sol was a respected human male Jedi Master during the High Republic Era. Much of Sol's life was defined by a mission to the planet Brendok he was involved in during 148 BBY, where he—alongside his fellow Jedi Masters Kelnacca, Indara and her Padawan Torbin—hoped to discover if a vergence in the Force had restored life to the world following the Great Hyperspace Disaster nearly a century earlier. While there, the Jedi discovered a coven of witches harboring two girls, the twin sisters Verosha "Osha" and Mae-ho "Mae" Aniseya, whom the Jedi tested to be potential Padawans. After a series of misunderstandings, Sol killed Aniseya, believing the action was necessary to protect the girls, and the ensuing chaos resulted in the deaths of most of the witches in the coven. Sol attempted to save both twins, but chose Osha over Mae, believing Mae to have perished as a result. The four Jedi lied to the Jedi High Council about the incident, claiming that Mae was solely responsible for the destruction, and Sol took Osha as his Padawan without telling her the truth of what had happened. Osha ultimately left the Jedi Order, after which Sol later took on another Padawan, Jecki Lon.

In 132 BBY, Mae resurfaced and began a quest to enact revenge on the four Jedi, starting with the murder of Indara. After Osha became a prime suspect, Sol reunited with his former student, and the two pursued Mae together with Lon and Yord Fandar. Confirming Mae's survival after the murder of Torbin, Sol, Osha and the Jedi travelled to Khofar to intercept Mae, but instead faced "the Stranger," the hidden Sith Lord who was Mae's master. Lon and the other Jedi were killed, but Sol bested the Stranger and escaped the planet, joined by Mae, who disguised herself as her sister.

After Sol discovered Mae's deception, the two made their way back to Brendok to confront the Stranger, where Sol would admit to his crimes in front of both Mae and Osha, though still defended his actions, believing he did what was necessary to defend the twins. Enraged knowing that her master had lied to her for her entire life, Osha choked the life out of Sol, claimed his lightsaber as her own and bled its kyber crystal, joining the Stranger as his new Sith acolyte.

Sol's colleague and friend Vernestra Rwoh discovered Sol's body and laid him to rest with a Jedi funeral pyre. However, she would frame Sol for the Jedi deaths caused by the Stranger and Mae and his own suicide, claiming that he had killed his fellow Jedi in order to maintain their "cover story" about what happened at Brendok, using Sol as a scapegoat to defend the Jedi Order's reputation in the eyes of an increasingly scrutinous Galactic Senate.
