Legend

this Dark Jedi compatriot of Jerec was one of the few known Twi'leki Jedi. Known as Boc the Crude and born Bocas'eca, he was cunning and brash, and was known to laugh at and taunt his opponents during battle. Although he had a great sensitivity to the Force, he was undiscovered for many years, until Nejaa Halcyon located him. Halcyon deemed him too old to be trained as a Jedi, and Boc immediately claimed that he had been cheated out of his destiny. Boc spent years studying the heritage of Twi'lek Force users, until he discovered the three crystalline idols created from the ashes of Newar Forrth. He was able to use his connection to the Force to "read" the idols, and became more and more convinced that his destiny lay with the Jedi. His dreams were crushed when he was captured by slavers and sold to Imperial Vice-Admiral Terrinald Screed. It was during this time that Boc's powers were noticed by Inquisitor Jerec, who took the Twi'lek as his own slave and began sifting Boc's mind for information on the ancient Jedi and Sith. Jerec began teaching Boc something about the use of the Force, although he never truly released the Twi'lek from slavery. Boc became proficient in the use of two lightsabers at a time; his own lightsaber was a large device which could activate a single blade, or - when pulled apart - could be used as two blades in the Jar'Kai style of combat. When Jerec intercepted the Jedi Knight Qu Rahn on Dorlo, Boc tried to execute Duno Dree, but Rahn tried to defend the youth. With a quick slash, Rahn managed to hobble Boc by severing the tendon in one leg. Boc never forgot the attack, and clamored for an opportunity to exact a horrible revenge on Rahn. Jerec wouldn't allow it, however, preferring to do the job himself. Boc, like Jerec's other Dark Jedi, was defeated by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. Ironically, Boc was slain at the foot of a statue of Newar Forrth on Ruusan.
