Mission to Yavin 4

In 3756 BBY, the Human Jedi Master Barel Ovair and his Nautolan Padawan, Eison Gynt, set out on a mission to the fourth moon of the planet Yavin. The two had spent much time together exploring locations throughout the galaxy that were strong in the Force and planned to search the Massassi Temples on Yavin 4 and delve into the tomb of the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow. Ovair, however, was actually a servant of the exiled Sith Empire, on a mission to destroy the spirits of long-dead Sith who might challenge the power of the Sith Emperor upon his return to known space.

After arriving on the moon, Ovair and Gynt were attacked by Sadow's surviving Massassi warriors. Defeated, they were forced into the heart of Sadow's tomb, where they were overcome by the Sith Lord's still-lingering dark energies. Ovair was unable to accomplish his objective and so abandoned Gynt there. Weeks later, he returned to the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant, claiming Gynt had been killed. However, the young Nautolan survived, only to be possessed by Sadow's spirit and killed years later by Ovair.
