Star Wars: What Happened To EVERY Jedi That Survived Order 66
10. Taron Malicos
Once a respected Jedi Master during the Clone Wars, Taron Malicos was known a great tactician and motivator. When Order 66 was passed, he was able to escape his clone attackers on a ship, and crash landed on the planet Dathomir, where he succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and killed the leader of the Nightbrothers, Viscus.
After this fateful event, Malicos took over control of the Nightbrothers and attempted to manipulate the last Nightsister, Merrin, in hope of learning more about her power. He also came to be scarred by Nightbrothers who tried to overthrow him, but mostly he was respected for his power and was left to rule with fear.
Five years after the fall of the Jedi, he met a Jedi Padawan, Cal Kestis, who he tried to manipulate into joining the Dark Side. He asserted that the Jedi were dead long before the Purge, too caught up in war and their own arrogance.
Knowing Malicos was a danger, Kestis teamed up with Merrin to destroy him, and in a duel the former Master was buried below an ancient tomb and defeated. His is a most tragic story; a once great warrior turned agent of the very evil he once fought against.
