Tai

Tai was a Force-sensitive human Jedi Padawan who lived during the New Republic Era, having joined the Jedi Order under Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, Tai learned the ways of the Force alongside other students, including Skywalker's nephew Ben Solo. He was returning to Ossus from an off-world mission with fellow Jedi Hennix and Voe when the Jedi training temple was destroyed. Finding the temple ablaze, they confronted Solo who overpowered the trio before retreating to Snoke. The three Jedi pursued him, believing he was responsible for the death of their master, although Tai remained adamant that Solo was not a murderer. However, after Solo accidentally killed Hennix on Elphrona, Tai concluded that his former friend was lost and set himself to track him down with Voe so they could kill him. When they traveled to the Minemoon to confront Solo and the Knights of Ren, Tai made another attempt to get through to his friend Ben, but was then killed by "Ren," the leader of the Knights of Ren. Enraged by Tai's death, Solo killed Ren and fell to the dark side of the Force, becoming Kylo Ren.
