KYLE KATARN AND JAN ORS

Kyle Katarn's life and career are exemplars of adaptability. Originally an Imperial cadet, Katarn defected upon learning the Empire destroyed his family homestead, blaming the attack on the Rebellion. As a mercenary for the Rebellion (Katarn stole the plans to the original Death Star, among other exploits), Katarn discovered he was a Jedi, ultimately walking both the light and dark paths. He was branded the Jedi Outcast when he denounced the binary thinking of light and dark, arguing instead that the Force was neither good nor evil - only the users of the Force take on that distinction. Eventually Kyle was accepted to the Jedi Council under Grand Master Luke Skywalker.

Jan Ors is a high-ranking Intelligence officer in the Rebel Alliance. She gave Katarn the information that inspired him to defect, and was his original handler when he became an operative for the Alliance. The two formed a fast partnership and eventually entered a romantic relationship; it was Kyle's belief that Jan had been murdered by Sith that caused him to return to the Jedi fold.
