Star Wars: Every Jedi Who Turned To The Dark Side

Taron Malicos was a trusted Jedi General who fought during the Clone Wars. After the war, Malicos was able to escape Order 66 in his personal spacecraft. He later crashed on the planet Dathomir. If you don't remember Dathomir, it's the homeworld of Asajj Ventress, and it's populated by a coven of Force Witches. But, it was also home to a clan of warriors called the Night Brothers.

Malicos eventually succumbed to the dark side and killed the leader of the Nightbrothers, a man with the unfortunate name of Viscus. Malicos seized control of the Night Brothers and ruled them through fear. They in turn worshipped Malicos, and revered his power in the Force.

While living on Dathomir, Malicos encountered the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis. Malicos tried and failed to turn the young Jedi to the dark side, and was eventually defeated by him and Nightsister Merrin.
