Legend

the youngest of the Dark Jedi serving under Jerec, Yun was a cocky, unpredictable Epicanthrix youth striving to prove his power. Much of his original training was under the guidance of Sariss, who could not fully rein in the impulsive youth. Not physically imposing, Yun relied on the surprise he gained when attacking his opponents in brash ways. As a youth, Yun grew up on the planet Panatha, the son of wealthy mineral baron. When he came of age, Yun was sent to Bunduki by his father, to learn the patience and temperment of the Followers of Palawa. His instructors refused to teach of the teras kasi, and Yun returned to Panatha to complain to his father. The baron decided that Yun would be better schooled at home, and turned the boy's training over to his fiance', a member of the Church of the Dark Side named Sariss. The pair became very close, but Sariss refused to be drawn into an affair because of her vows to Yun's father. Angry at being rebuffed, Yun killed his father to earn her love. With this act, his fall to the Dark Side of the Force was completed, but Yun came to understand that Sariss didn't actually love him. She proceeded to seize his father's assets and turned them over to Jerec. She turned Yun's training over to Jerec as well. Jerec demanded proof of Yun's loyalty, and sent the boy back to Bunduki to execute his Palawa masters. Later, during the search for the Valley of the Jedi, Yun attempted to kill Kyle Katarn at Baron's Hed, but was defeated by Katarn. After the Valley of the Jedi was discovered on Ruusan, Katarn again spared Yun's life. Yun was then visited by the spirit of Jedi Master Qu Rahn, who urged Yun to seek redemption. Acting on this, Yun stepped in to prevent Sariss from killing Katarn. Unfortunately, Sariss showed no such mercy and killed Yun. His body was absorbed by the energy of the Valley and disappeared.
