| abstract | - Atris was a Human female who served as a Jedi historian, and later as a Jedi Master and Jedi Council member during the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. She was deeply committed to the Order and was a fierce adherent of the Jedi Code. But Atris's faith in the righteousness of the Jedi wavered when her personal hero, a man who would later be known as the Jedi Exile, turned his back on the Council and joined the Jedi Knights Revan and Malak and their faction of the Jedi during the Mandalorian Wars. Atris chose not to go to war, but this decision left her bitter and conflicted. When the Exile returned to face the Council's judgment after the devastating events of the Battle of Malachor V, Atris was the first to condemn him, suggesting that the Exile had fallen to the dark side just as Revan had. Over time, Atris grew to hate the Exile for complicating her black-and-white view of the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force. During the Dark Wars, Atris called a secret Jedi convocation on the Miraluka world of Katarr in an attempt to find the threat that was stalking the Jedi. She then leaked knowledge of the conclave's existence in the hopes of drawing out the Sith. She succeeded, but with dire consequences; Darth Nihilus devastated the surface of the planet, wiping out all life on Katarr, including the Jedi gathered there. Atris remained in seclusion, surrounding herself with Echani Handmaidens who could not feel the Force. She planned to rebuild the Jedi Order, and established a Jedi Academy in the old irrigation system on Telos IV. However, she was heavily influenced by the many Sith holocrons she had collected in her efforts to find and understand the Sith. The holocrons fed her bitterness, and she slowly and quietly fell to the dark side. After a final confrontation on Telos, the Exile, now the Sith Lord Darth Symore, coldly executed Atris upon her defeat.
