Agen Kolar

Agen Kolar

Jedi Master

The Zabrak Agen Kolar rose from the rank of Jedi Knight to Jedi Master and Council member during the era of the Clone Wars. Regarded as one of the Jedi Order’s best swordsmen, Agen Kolar participated in several battles following his survival of the Battle of Geonosis.

Born on Iridonia, Agen Kolar was brought into the Jedi Temple at an early age and, as a result, was fiercely loyal to the cause of the Republic and the ideals held by the Jedi Council on Coruscant. Like many such devoted Jedi Masters, Agen failed to realize the true evil hiding behind Chancellor Palpatine’s smile, and the dark purpose for the creation of a clone army on Kamino.

When news reached the Council of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s capture on the planet Geonosis, Agen was selected to take part in the rescue mission along with Mace Windu and 200 other Jedi. Although Agen Kolar held his own quite well in the subsequent showdown at the execution arena, his Padawan did not survive.

Nearly gunned down by the droid army, Agen and the surviving Jedi were rescued by the arrival of Master Yoda and the clone army. Agen quickly jumped aboard a gunship and took control of his own battalion of troops, serving as a Jedi general during the remainder of the battle. The Republic ultimately came out victorious, driving away Count Dooku and his legion of droids from the planet.

Agen's survival came at great cost, however; he was heavily affected by the death of his Padawan. Replacing the green crystal from his lightsaber, Agen took the blue crystal from his former student's lightsaber and used it as his own from that point forward, as a way of remembering him.

Agen Kolar immediately took up the role of Jedi general in the years that followed; among the Jedi, he was known for his preference to strike first and ask questions later, making him an ideal instrument for the Republic's needs. However, his devotion to carrying out the Republic's orders made him blind to the corruption he was ultimately fighting for.

Agen was still present on the Jedi Council in the last days of the Clone Wars. He was there when Anakin Skywalker was granted a seat, although it caused much controversy among its members. When Skywalker later revealed to Mace Windu that Chancellor Palpatine had revealed himself as actually Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Mace Windu asked Agen to accompany him to Palpatine's office to help arrest him. Agen agreed to go, along with a small group of Jedi Masters, and teamed up alongside Master Windu. However, just as Agen ignited his lightsaber blade, Darth Sidious leapt forward and struck him with his own, defeating the Zabrak Jedi Master first.
