Korath Lorren was born eight years before the Battle of Yavin in an obscure corner of the Outer Rim. His parents, both Jedi, disappeared soon after, leaving the boy in the care of the reclusive Duinuogwuin Jedi Master Oruk'Ryu'Ken. Over the next fifteen years, Master Oruk raised Korath in the traditions of the Jedi, instilling in him the tenets of the Jedi Code. As Korath grew, and learned, it became apparent that he had a keen affinity for the combat arts, especially the lightsaber. When Korath was fifteen, tragedy struck once again. Some of the Emperor's Dark Jedi out into the galaxy. One of these, a sociopath named Mathis Karr, discovered Master Oruk’s secret retreat and descended upon the planet with his minions. Korath watched from his Hiding position as the Dark Siders murdered the great Star Dragon. Muting his Force presence, he went unnoticed by the bloodthirsty gang. Alone, his training not quite complete, and without a teacher, Korath continued his Martial training as best he could before finding a way off planet. He spent the next several years traveling the galaxy on different starships learning many different skills and gaining a great deal of experience. One thing remained with him throughout that time: a vision, that came to him many times over the years, of himself, fully trained, in a final confrontation with Mathis Karr. It was a vision he knew could not be avoided, though when it would happen, he could not know. One of his travels took him to Endor where he resumed his Force training for a short period of time under the tutelage of an old Ewok Shaman, who was near the end of his time. When the old Ewok died, he left him with a medallion that contained a Kimber Stone crystal embedded in it. A crystal Korath would add to his lightsaber along with the Mephite crystal it already utilized. He soon found his way to Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy on Yavin IV along with an introverted ex Imperial Tie pilot named Kain Mandala, a man tortured by a tragic past, who showed a good deal of Force potential yet had gone unnoticed within the Empire. This wouldn’t last long though. During the next year, Kain and Korath learned and adventured together. Hidden in the shadows though was Mathis Karr who plotted to twist the sullen and tortured man in his attempt to carve out his own empire. Karr captured Kain, while he and Korath were on a quest to locate an ancient Holocron, and quickly brought him under his spell and used Kain to lead his personal army. Korath, along with his remaining companions, spent months thwarting Karr’s evil schemes and trying to save Kain from the Dark Side’s grasp before it was too late. On one occasion, Korath and the half twisted Kain teamed up to stop an even greater threat. On a ship almost as large as the Eclipse, they encountered three Dark Side warriors who claimed to be members of the ancient Sith order, and their minions. Whether this was true or not is unknown. However, they were powerful and it took the combined effort of Korath and Kain’s people to defeat them. To save the life of one of his companions, who was engaged in a duel with the leader of these “Sith” and clearly outmatched while surrounded by the Dark warriors horde, Korath challenged the monster. Entering the room, he ignited his lightsaber holding it over his head. The mob parted, letting him advance on the Dark warrior. The two engaged in a fierce battle that lasted for what seemed forever. Blow upon blow was struck and parried in a never-ending dance. First one gaining ground and then the other; back and forth it went until, in a moment of inspiration, Korath struck in a sideways sweep towards his foe’s right side. As his opponent moved to block it, he deactivated his lightsaber and then reactivated it in the middle of the dark warrior’s chest. As he died, the Sith warrior attempted one final overhand strike. Korath twisted his body as he moved to parry the blow, ripping his lightsaber up through the dark warrior’s shoulder and parrying the blow as the villain collapsed in a broken heap. Korath would eventually save Kain and retrieve the Holocron though he had yet to face Mathis Karr.

He has trained a number of students: Cable Sterns, his girlfrind, Arrianna Telan, The Yassana, Elias Windrider, and the Zeltron, Trixi Troubelle.

With the destruction of Luke Skywalker's Jedi temple, while Korath was away on a mission, and Luke's subsequent disappearance, Korath has returned to his life as a wandering peacekeeper.
