The Jedi Exile (canonical name: unknown) is the main character in the PC/Xbox videogame title Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The Exile is a fully customizable character at the start of the game, and can be male or female. The player can choose what side of the Force their character takes through the course of the game. (Because the male light side option is considered canonical by Lucasfilm, we will refer to the Exile as a male.)
The Exile was a Jedi Padawan, on par with most Jedi Knights of the time, who studied - and taught - at the Academy on Dantooine. Before he could begin his trials to become a Knight and take on his own apprentice, the Mandalorian Wars surged through the galaxy. The Exile, overwhelmed with compassion for the lives lost to the ravages of the Mandalorians on the Outer Rim, joined the Republican forces led by Revan, the first Jedi Knight who had defied the High Jedi Council in order to meet the Mandalorians in battle; never being ordained a Jedi Knight, he left his prospective Padawan, Mical (the Disciple), without a master.
The Exile served as a general under Revan during the Mandalorian Wars. Overseeing the final, titanic battle at Malachor V, The Exile gave the order to activate the mass shadow generator. This generator crushed both the Republic soldiers and Mandalorians caught in the weapon's destructive sphere. The amount of death and destruction caused such a substantial 'wound' in the Force that the Exile found himself suddenly and completely severed from it. The only Jedi under Revan able to turn away from the dark side after Malachor V, the Exile was also the only Jedi to willingly return to Coruscant, to face trial for his actions - and defend them.
Despite an impassioned plea, the Jedi Council decreed that because the Exile had followed Revan to war, he was to be cast out of the Jedi Order. In reality, the Council feared the 'wound' in the Force that surrounded the Exile. Some on the council felt that they were punishing the Exile not because of what he did, but because he was symbolic of the many Jedi that had fallen to the dark side over the course of history, and the only one the Council could avenge themselves on. These council members felt that the Exile was the perfect opportunity to examine why and how so many Jedi fall to the dark side. More conservative council members, however, felt no need to do more than exile the former Jedi.
Full details of the Exile's travels in the Outer Rim are unknown, but it is known that Atris had orchestrated his return to known space; in order to attract the growing Sith threat, she leaked news of his return to the galaxy and, predictably, attracted the Sith's attention. However, the Ebon Hawk rescued him from an unappealing fate. With the help of the utility droid T3-M4, the Ebon Hawk was guided to the mining facility at Peragus II.
There he met with an old woman named Kreia, a mysterious Jedi Master (exiled by the Council because Revan was her apprentice) who would guide the Exile through his journey to find the missing Jedi Masters who sentenced him to exile. While searching for a way off the abandoned station, the Exile encountered Atton Rand, locked in the brig. After Darth Sion and a force of Sith Asssassins arrived to kill the Exile (believing he was the last of the Jedi), the three escaped with T3-M4 onboard the Ebon Hawk and traveled to Telos. During their pursuit by the Sith in the asteroid field around Peragus, laser fire ignited the volatile fuel within the asteroids. This explosion destroyed both the facility and the entire asteroid belt, though the Ebon Hawk and the Sith were able to escape.
After arriving at the massive Citadel Station in orbit around Telos, the Ebon Hawk and T3-M4 were stolen and brought to the Telosian surface. Using alternative transportation to get down to the surface, the Exile's party was shot down by Czerka air-defense turrets. A Zabrak engineer named Bao-Dur, who designed the Mass Shadow Generator and served under the Exile at Malachor V, saw the crash and pulled the three unharmed from the wreckage. While on the surface, they learned that the Ebon Hawk had been taken to the old planetary aqueducts in the polar region of the planet. Stealing a shuttle from an abandoned military compound, they traveled to the aquaducts and found Jedi Master Atris there, a member of the Council that sentenced the Exile. Atris was attempting to recover lost Jedi teachings and had surrounded herself with several Echani sisters. These sisters were known as Handmaidens, who had vowed not to learn the ways of the Jedi. After speaking with Atris, the Exile and his party left with the Ebon Hawk and T3-M4, however, the last of the Handmaidens was sent to board the Ebon Hawk as a spy. Despite knowing this, and over Kreia's protests, the Exile allowed the Handmaiden to stay after she revealed herself on board the ship.
After leaving the academy, T3 revealed that he had managed to download Atris's database while being held, including a recording of the Exile's trial where the last five remaining Jedi Masters were hiding: Atris on Telos, Kavar on Onderon, Vrook on Dantooine, Zez-Kai Ell on Nar Shaddaa, and Lonna Vash on Korriban. The crew goes off to these worlds in search of the fugitive Jedi Masters in an attempt to unite them against the Sith and to find the answers as to why the Exile was sentenced as such.
Alternate Dark Side Ending
Once the Exile had found and slain all of the missing Jedi Masters, he, along with Mandalore and Nihilus's former apprentice Visas Marr, boarded Nihilus's flag ship, the Ravager, and killed the Sith Lord. After detonating the ship, he returned to Malachor V, the location of the final Mandalorian battle, and found the Trayus Academy, home of the reunited Darth Traya (Kreia) and Darth Sion.
There he slew both Sith Lords. Before her death, however, Kreia revealed where Revan had set out following his defeat of Darth Malak. With the knowledge, the Exile left to find the former Dark Lord.
Canonical Light Side Ending
Once the Exile had met with all of the missing Jedi Masters, he returned to Dantooine to find the rebuilt Jedi Training Academy. There, the Jedi had formed a council in which they would decide his fate. Before the masters were able to strip him of the Force, Kreia stormed into the meeting and killed them all. She then turned on the Exile, leaving him unconscious in the enclave, and lied to his disciple, the Handmaiden, by telling her that he was dead. Kreia and the Handmaiden journeyed to Telos to meet with Atris, who revealed herself to be a dark Jedi. Kreia then revealed her own identity, that of Darth Traya, and left Telos and the Handmaiden behind. The Handmaiden confronted her sisters, all servants of Atris, who attacked her for betraying their mistress. She defeated them all before confronting Atris herself. She failed, but suddenly the Exile arrived to do battle as well. After Atris's defeat, she revealed to him Kreia's dark persona.
Along with Mandalore and Nihilus's former apprentice Visas Marr, the Exile then boarded Nihilus's flag ship, the Ravager, and killed the Sith Lord. After detonating the ship, he returned to Malachor V, the location of the final Mandalorian battle, and found the Trayus Academy, home of the reunited Darth Traya (Kreia) and Darth Sion.
There he slew both Sith Lords. Before her death, however, Kreia revealed where Revan had set out following his defeat of Darth Malak. With the knowledge, the Exile left to find the former Dark Lord.
