Kyle Katarn Combat Instructor

Kyle began his life as the son of humble Sullust farmers. With limited educational opportunities, he joined the imperial academy and later became a decorated Storm Trooper. Jan Ors, a rebel intelligence agent who he had many run-ins with, managed to proved to him the evils of the empire. Kyle defected, becoming an un-aligned mercenary and later a rebel spy. Ors and Katarn went on many missions together.

A year after the Battle of Endor, the spirit of Jedi Qu Rahn visited Kyle and told him about his father’s secret rebel sympathies and Jedi heritage. This inspired Kyle to go to his old family home where he discovered his father’s lightsaber and started on the path to becoming a self-taught Jedi, eventually becoming a battlemaster and Jedi Master at Luke Skywalker’s Academy, part of the New Jedi Order.
