Legend

this man was one of the many ancient Dark Jedi who were stationed on Korriban, many millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Mekel was one of the many apprentices who were training under Uthar Wynn when a group of Jedi Knights managed to infiltrate Korriban. The Jedi were searching for clues to the whereabouts of Darth Malak, and were accepted as apprentices alongside Mekel. Mekel resented the intrusion, and spent as much time trying to sabotage his fellow apprentices as he did studying. When the former Master Jorak Uln captured Mekel and the Jedi in the tomb of Tulak Hord, Uln pitted them against each other in a devious competition. After the Jedi managed to escape from Uln and defeat him in combat, they let Mekel go free. Mekel could let go of his jealousy, however, and turned on the Jedi. In a brief fight, the Jedi dispatched Mekel as well.
