taken from the TPB Dark Empire II
a Jedi Knight, Kam was the son of a Jedi slain by Darth Vader. He spent nearly thirty
years hiding from the Empire in the most remote parts of the galaxy. When his
whereabouts were discovered by a group of Dark Jedi, he was tortured and forced
to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. The reborn Emperor used him as one of his
personal Dark Side Elite on Byss. When Luke Skywalker first met him on Nespis
VIII, Luke sensed his strength in the Force behind the Dark Side facade, and
challenged Kam to a game of Lightsider. Luke won, and convinced Kam to return to
the Light Side. Kam eventually returned to Luke, joining the Jedi candidates on Yavin
4. He became one of Luke's most gifted apprentices, and became a full Jedi Knight
several years after the death of Palpatine's clones. Kam fell in love with Tionne, and
the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. They
acted as the administrators of the Yavin 4 facility for many years, and Kam himself
presided over a solemn Jedi wedding for Luke and Mara Jade, before the pair were
wedded in a public ceremony on Coruscant. Kam and Tionne served Luke as the
wards of the youngest Jedi trainees during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of
the galaxy, spiriting the children away from Yavin 4 aboard the Errant Venture and
eventually settling them into a new home at the Maw Installation. Ultimately, Kam
and Tionne were among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the
Yuuzhan Vong. It was Kam's suggestion to Luke that the Jedi Knights return to the
planet Ossus to rebuild their new Jedi Order, an idea that Luke eventually agreed to.
