Ulic Qel-Droma
taken from the comic Tales of the Jedi: Knights of the Old Republlic (TPB)
an ancient Jedi Knight, Ulic was very
powerful in the use of The Force. He was
born on Alderaan, and raised in a family of
great warriors. His mother was a Jedi Knight.
Along with his brother, Cay, they were
apprenticed to the Jedi Master Arca on
Arkadia. When they had completed their
training, Arca sent them - along with fellow
student Tott Doneeta - to Onderon to help
put an end to the fighting between the city
dwellers and the beastmasters. When they
tried to defend the city dwellers in Iziz, they
discovered the Dark Side energies flowing
there. They also discovered that the dwellers
of Iziz were the real enemy, and strove to
defeat Queen Amanoa. They eventually
overcame the Dark Side threat, and later
found the tomb of Freedon Nadd. They tried
to rid the planet of Nadd's influence, but Arca
was captured by the hidden King Ommin.
Ulic sent for more Jedi and help
from the Old Republic, and their combined forces were able to defeat Ommin and recover Arca. The Jedi
then helped Iziz rebuild itself, during which time Ulic fell in love with Nomi Sunrider. When they were cleaning
up the Dark Side artifacts, the spirit of Freedon Nadd reappeared and told Ulic he would become one of the
greatest Sith Lords. Ulic and Nomi were assigned to assist in the retaking of the Empress Teta System from
the Krath, who had declared war on the Jedi. Ulic proposed that he should join the Krath and attempt to
defeat it from the inside. He made himself heard at the Great Council on Deneba. However, the Jedi Masters
feared that Ulic would be drawn into the Dark Side, but during their discussions the Krath attacked. He
fought bravely, only to see Master Arca killed while he was distracted. This hardened his resolve to eradicate
the Krath, and he set out to discover the Dark Side of the Force first-hand. He hoped that by becoming a
Dark Side follower, he could find its weaknesses and use it against the Krath. He was seduced by Aleema,
and his despair at Arca's death only made him an easier target for the Dark Side and the Sith magic. His
brother, Cay, and Nomi Sunrider went to Cinnagar to return Ulic to the Light Side, but their combined love
for Ulic could not sway him from the Dark Side. At this time, Exar Kun intervened and severely injured
Aleema while trying to overcome Ulic and recover a Sith amulet. Their combined fury released an ancient Sith
spirit, who claimed both of them for the Dark Side. Exar Kun was named Dark Lord of the Sith while Ulic
was named his apprentice. He became caught up in Exar Kun's plans and became a Dark Jedi himself. He
joined forces with the ancient Mandalorian warriors after defeating their leader, and conquered star system
after star system with the power of the Dark Side. He was captured by the Jedi and brought to trial on
Coruscant, but was freed by the intervention on Exar Kun and the Mandalorians. They then travelled to
Ossus, in an attempt to

take possession of the Jedi and Sith
knowledge stored there. Ulic was again
captured by the Jedi, this time by his
brother, Cay, who challenged him to a
duel. In his Dark Side fury, Ulic cut
down his brother in a bloody battle.
Some part of the Light Side still
remained, and Ulic was brought ot his
knees by the import of what he had
done. Nomi Sunrider, enraged by Ulic's
actions, used the Force in anger and cut
Ulic off from the Force. Thus
weakened, Ulic felt no more need to
support Exar Kun and the Sith. In the
end, Ulic led the Jedi to Yavin 4, where
they were able to defeat Kun and quell
the Sith uprising. Ten years later, Ulic
fled to Rhen Var in an effort to isolate
himself from the galaxy and to find
peace. He thought to let

himself die in a storm, but the spirit of Master Arca urged him to survive. He was unprepared for the arrival of
Vima Sunrider, who wanted him to teach her the ways of the Jedi. Despite his misgivings, Ulic realized that
this was why Master Arca had urged him to live. He took Vima under his tutelage, and trained her to the best
of his abilities. He even tried to be civil when Nomi arrived on Rhen Var to recover her daughter. However,
shortly after Nomi's arrival, Sylvar came to the planet and challenged him to a duel. Sylvar had the advantage
of contact with the Force, but Ulic fought bravely in an effort to return Sylvar to the Light Side of the Force.
Sylvar came to her senses, but was too focused on herself to notice that Hoggon had followed her. Hoggon
shot Ulic in the back with his blaster, believing that he had killed the greatest traitor of the Jedi order. Despite
the fact that Ulic no longer had contact with the Force, his lifeless body nonetheless disappeared and became
part of the Force.
