25. Vrook Lamar: Jedi Master, Dantooine

Vrook Lamar: a male Human Jedi Master on the Jedi High Council and the Dantooine Jedi Enclave Council.

Rightly so, he proved to be an active member of the Jedi Council on Dantooine. His demeanor was harsh. Still, he showed kindness to his Padawans that was not mountable.

Often, after the Great Sith War, Vrook – while stationed at the Enclave on Dantooine – occasionally attended meetings at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

Of the end to the Great Hunt to wipe out the tarentatek creatures, responsible for whipping out more Jedi than Exar Kun, Vrook and other Council members choose three Jedi Knights to finish the dark side beasts that continued to taunt.

Killed were all three Jedi Knights, who died without success. In spite of this, Vrook was not impressed with the many Jedi following Revan and Malak to fight in the Mandalorian Wars.

Leading to frustrations of the diminished authority of the Council, Vrook eventually found the Revanchism, followers of Revan and Revan himself, on the planet Cathar. Revan fled Cathar that day, wearing and keeping a Mandalorian mask, but Vrook helped the Mandalorians by persuading Revan's followers to rejoin the Jedi, numerous in numbers and resource.

After the Mandalorian Wars ended, Vrook blamed the Jedi Masters for Revan and Malak's fall and lure to the dark side.

Monitored against the notion of Revan's former self would resurface and reclaim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, Vrook watched the young Jedi Padawan and he surpassed his tests. This was something Vrook found hard to find.

As Revan and his crew aboard the Ebon Hawk journeyed throughout the galaxy in search of the Star Forge, Vrook and his fellow Council members survived Darth Malak's attack on the planet.

Right to be suspicious of the council inside the Conclave on Katarr, Vrook did not participate and survived Darth Nihilus' slewing of Jedi, the Miraluka, and creatures that lived and breathed on the planet's surface. Vrook fled into hiding during the dark years of the First Jedi Purge, keeping in mind of the Jedi Order's tenets.
