After spending many, many hours with him throughout the story, it's eventually revealed that Bode isn't quite who he seems, when he suddenly murders Jedi Master Eno Cordova totally out of nowhere.

Cal then gives chase, at which point Bode Force-pushes him backwards, revealing that not only is he an Imperial spy, he's also a wayward Jedi.

Following a brief fight, Bode positively bodies Cal by Force-pushing him off a cliff edge and shooting him on the way down for good measure, leaving Cal to hit the ground like a sack of Force-sensitive potatoes.

It's later revealed that Bode has somewhat sympathetic motives - he cut a deal to work with the Imperial Security Bureau to protect his daughter from Darth Vader after Inquisitors killed his wife - but all the same, this ass-kicking hurt in more way than one.

And even when you do defeat and kill Bode at the end of the game, there's nothing even remotely satisfying about it. It's just sad.

I guess it all didn't... Bode well. Sorry.
