One of the few members of his race to and aptitude for the Force, this Weequay Jedi
Master was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of
Geonosis. Known for his skills with a lightsaber, Master Bulq was one of the best teachers
of lightsaber combat at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Master Bulq was also worked with
Mace Windu in the development of the Vaapad form of combat. Sora Bulq was part of the
small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists,
just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. However, as the Jedi Council
advocated a stronger military presence for the Jedi Knights, Sora Bulq began to grow more
and more dissatisfied with the Jedi. He finally decided to break away from the Jedi in
protest, gathering a group of Jedi and retreating to the moon of Ruul. Some three months
after Geonosis, Master Bulq agreed to meet with Master Windu on Ruul, to discuss a
mediation to their dispute. However, Bulq had other plans, having turned down the path to
the Dark Side of the Force. He allowed Asajj Ventress to land her starship on his estate,
and was "injured" early in a struggle with Ventress to allow his supporters to come to his
aid. Mira's death only served to turn his supporters further away from the Jedi Order. When
Master Windu confronted Bulq about this, Master Bulq openly explained that he had come
to understand Count Dooku's position in the Clone Wars. Bulq and Ventress banded
together to fight against the Jedi, but Master Windu, Jeisel, and K'kruhk managed to
survive. Bulq remained on Ruul, planning his next moves against the Jedi. He eventually
made contact with Rath Kelkko on Anzat, in an effort to establish as "shadow army" for the
Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to offset the growing advantages of the
Republic's clone troopers. He then traveled to Saleucami, where he took advantage of the
heat and power supplied by the open magma flows in the creation of clones of the
Morgukai warriors. His plans for the Shadow Army were brought to ruin by the arrival of an
Old Republic task force led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos. Although both
sides of the fighting were evenly matched, Sora Bulq was unprepared for Quinlan's
decision to fully abandon the Dark Side of the Force. As Quinlan came to his decision, Sora
Bulq tried to sneak up behind the Jedi. Quinlan was ready for the attack, and swung his
lightsaber behind him. Sora Bulq caught the blade of his lightsaber in the chest, and the
impact of the blow forced the Weequay off the edge of a ledge. With his heart badly
damaged, Sora Bulq fell to his death in the lava below.
