Damien Knights




 * "Justice without a great cause begets nothing more than slaughter. However, that same slaughter in the name of a great cause is justice."
 * —Damien Knights, Master of the Order

Damien Knights was a Human (Korun) male Jedi Master of legendary status who was the Master of the Order in the New Jedi Order. Damien served the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. A talented Force user, Damien possesed a midi-chlorian count of 19,800 which was the second highest under Anakin Skywalker who had a count of 20,000+. Due to his immense power in the Force, Damien was recognized as the second strongest Jedi Knight of the era, with Skywalker being the first. Hailing from the world of Haruun Kal, Damien Knights is the Eleventh Monarch of the Knights Family. He was a senior member of the New Jedi High Council and served as the Master of the Order. He is widely considered one of the greatest and most powerful Jedi Masters in galactic history.

A descendant of the famed Knights Family who fought in numerous wars in the days of the Old Republic, Damien could be seen at the present as continuing on their legacy, fighting against the dark side and all the while advancing Jedi knowledge. Damien is the grandson of the famed Jedi Master, Jūshirō Knights.

In addition to his advanced control of the Force, Damien was a master of all seven form of lightsaber combat and was widely considered one of the best swordsmen in the Jedi Order. He mastered Vaapad, the modern seventh form of lightsaber combat. Mace Windu and Damien are the only practitioners of the form who did not fall to the dark side.

It was Mace Windu and Damien Knights who led two hundred and twelve Jedi into combat at the Battle of Geonosis. He continued to serve the Republic throughout the Clone Wars, often on the front lines of fierce fighting, where he led Republic forces as a Senior Jedi General. He would distinguish himself across many battlefronts, most notably Christophsis, Teth, Krant, Haruun Kal, Ryloth, Juma 9 and Behpour, Malastare, Dantooine, Brentaal IV, Iceberg III, Kamino, Umbara, The Rig, Foerost, Alderaan, Cerea, Boz Pity, Saleucami, Coruscant, and Mygeeto.

Following the initiation of Order 66, Damien alongside Korrah Naberrie Knights, went into exile. Spending almost 20 years hidden, Damien joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic, where he helped several Rebellion fighters in restoring the Republic. Years later, Damien alongside Luke Skywalker helped create the New Jedi Order as one of the founders, and a year later, trained Kyle Katarn. Continuing to be part of the New Jedi Order, Damien joined the High Council while becoming a Jedi Battlemaster and Master of the Order.

In 140 ABY, Damien passed away and became one with the Force, joining his wife, mother, and father. Following his death, the leadership of the Knights Family was passed on to his son Matthew.

Early Life (38 BBY)

 * "This power is unlike no other Alath."
 * "Indeed. He is the strongest one of this family."
 * "His abilities in both the light side and dark side will be unmatched. The only one who can defeat him will be the Chosen One.
 * —Derek and Alath reflect on the power of their son Damien

Damien was born into the Knights Family, and grew up in the Knights Mansion on Haruun Kal. He and his grandfather would spend countless hours training, preparing Damien to take over the leadership of the Knights Family. Damien spent thirteen years on Haruun Kal, before he and his parents moved to Coruscant to begin official Jedi training in the Jedi Temple. Under the tutelage of Jedi Master Mace Windu, Damien exceedingly learned the ways of the Force. During this time, he made good friends with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon, Shaak Ti and Jedi Battlemaster Cin Drallig who helped Damien develop his Lightsaber skills and Force abilities. When he had the chance, Damien would often go to the archives to read into his studies, including the history of the Order, weapons defense as well as piloting.



Jedi Training (26-22 BBY)
"Simple, yet efficient. A padawan is as strong as he or she looks. Some people are too ignorant to believe that."
 * —Damien Knights to his fellow padawans

Around a year later, when Damien was twelve years old in the year of 26 BBY, he started to train in the ways of the force by Mace Windu. Damien was taught all the aspects of the force which were Core, Control, Sense, and Alter by his Grandfather, Jūshirō Knights and Mace Windu. He then was first trained in the arts of the Jar'Kai by his father, and the Makashi, by his mother. In time, certain forms of the Ataru, Niman, and Juyo were amplified to his skill. His father also trained him in martial arts. As time went by Damien, started to become a very powerful Jedi in 24 BBY, to which once he was sixteen, Damien showed complete mastery of the Jar'Kai and the Makashi. Damien also showed mastery in the Ataru as time went by, but was finished by his grandfather Jūshirō Knights, because he had more experience with this form.

When Damien finished his lightsaber training, he took a blood test for the Council, determining how many Midi-chlorian counts were in him. Soon when the results arrived, the Council found out that Damien had approximately 19,800 Midi-chlorian counts per cell. The Council was amazed at how immense his Midi-chlorian counts are.

That same year, Damien learned of his unusual ability to see shatterpoints in the Force and how they would affect all of his future actions as well as the vulnerabilities of his opponents. With these unique abilities, he had glimpses of parts of his future.

Over the next decade and a half, Damien went on many notable missions that included his first visit to his homeworld, Haruun Kal (during which he learned his native Korun language).

Battle of Geonosis (22 BBY)
"'Bring it!'"

"—Damien Knights, about to engage B2 Super Battle Droids and Geonosians"

Shortly afterwards, it became apparent that a full-fledged military conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems would occur. Kenobi was captured by the Confederacy on Geonosis and had been prepared to be executed. Damien and Windu met with Yoda at the Senate, and watched as Jar Jar Binks bestowed emergency powers upon Palpatine, granting him the power to use the Grand Army of the Republic.

Having learned of this, Damien Knights and Mace Windu, without waiting for the clone army to be put at the Republic's disposal, led a Jedi strike force to Geonosis. Windu, along with Damien, and Luminara Unduli, destroyed Geonosian gun emplacements blocking the way to the arena in his TX-130S fighter tank. When Kenobi, Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala were brought to the Geonosis arena, Damien and Windu and their Jedi revealed themselves to Count Dooku, the leader of the Confederacy, who was personally overseeing the planned execution.

Damien and Windu personally confronted Dooku and his bodyguard, Jango Fett, in the former's private viewing booth. At that moment, Windu viewed Dooku as the shatterpoint of the entire Separatist movement, which meant striking Dooku down would theoretically end the imminent clone war before it even began. However, Windu's prior attachments to Dooku clouded his judgment, and Windu was promptly distracted by a squad of super battle droids before being flung into the arena by Fett's flamethrower. A heated but short battle followed, during which Windu decapitated Fett.

Eventually, the Jedi were outnumbered by Separatist battle droids, but Master Yoda and the clone troopers rescued the Jedi. After that, Windu, Damien, and the other surviving Jedi joined the battle as military commanders. Windu again took the controls of his tank and was moving to intercept Count Dooku when three of Dooku's Dark Acolytes confronted him in their own vehicles. Windu was able to defeat all three of them, but the delay prevented him from reaching Dooku.

Windu's failure to strike down Dooku when he had the chance haunted him for some time afterwards, since Dooku's escape effectively neutralized the Count's position as the war's shatterpoint. While many Jedi were haunted by traumatic nightmares about the Battle of Geonosis, Windu was faced with a recurring dream in which he killed Dooku before dying an honorable death at the hands of Jango Fett. As stated in his personal journals, Windu viewed his own reality of preventing the Clone Wars as his nightmare.

In the aftermath of Geonosis, Windu handed the title of Master of the Order to Yoda, who held it in addition to that of Grand Master. Also, Windu spoke with Yoda and Kenobi in the Jedi High Council chamber, and he learned from Kenobi that while he was Dooku's prisoner he learned hundreds of senators were under the influence of Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.

Battle of Christophsis (22 BBY)
When Christophsis was invaded by the Separatists, they put out a call for help to the Republic, and Damien, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi were quickly dispatched to aid the planet, along with Commander Cody and Captain Rex. They set up defense in two towers and prepared as the droid forces advanced, seemingly unaware of the Jedi's presence. However, the droid army suddenly split up, and before Kenobi knew what was happening, droids arrived in his tower and started to attack. Skywalker called Hawk for an evacuation, and he and Rex proceeded to aid Kenobi. They managed to escape, and also managed to steal a tactical droid's head.

However, the tactical droid did nothing but confirm that the Separatists knew of the Jedi's location. Damien suspected that someone in their squad had turned suit and betrayed the Republic. Kenobi and Damien instructed Cody and Rex to find the traitor while they went on a secret mission behind enemy lines. On the way, they discovered that an increasing number of droids were watching them but not attempting to fire, and Damien concluded that they were being led into a trap. Upon arrival, they encountered Asajj Ventress, and the three engaged in a duel. The Jedi managed to knock Ventress down, but she merely used her lightsabers to cut through the floor, pushing the Jedi a floor down. Ventress taunted them before leading them to see a complete army of droids preparing to attack the city. The Jedi escaped on STAPs, and Ventress ordered General Whorm Loathsom to march on the city before leaving.

Upon returning to the Republic base, Damien, Skywalker, and Kenobi discovered that Rex and Cody had found Slick to be the traitor. Skywalker questioned why Slick would betray his brothers, and Slick replied that it was the Jedi who kept his brothers enslaved. Cody and Rex, however, said that if he loved his brothers, he wouldn't put them at risk, and Slick was taken away to lockup.

Damien and Skywalker managed to fend off the first wave of droids, and sent their shuttle back for reinforcements. A second wave of droids soon advanced, and while Kenobi and Cody drew the droids' attention, Damien, Skywalker, Rex and Torrent Company took out the advancing tri-droids. This, along with the Republic's use of heavy cannons, forced Loathsom to retreat.

Battle of Teth (22 BBY)
Damien Knights arrived on Teth immediately, and found Rex and the army heavily outnumbered by battle droids. With his reinforcements, the battle was then even again while he went to search for Skywalker, R2-D2 and Tano. Unfortunately, he ran into Asajj Ventress whom he battled through the B'omarr Monastery. Eventually slicing through her saberstaff, throwing away one half, and offered her the chance to surrender. Ventress gave up the fight and called for a Vulture droid to rescue her.

Returning to his troops, he later learned that Skywalker had taken a B-Wing-like ship called the Twilight and had flown to Tatooine where he and Tano had battled Dooku and IG-100 Magna Guards, before giving Jabba's son back to him. After fending off the droids, he and Yoda took gunships to pick up the Jedi team, and Jabba confirmed passage through his routes.

Battle of Krant (22 BBY)
Following the destruction of the Trade Federation operation on Aereen, Damien Knights, Echuu Shen-Jon, and Naat Reath moved on to invade the planet Krant.

Once on Krant, Echuu and Damien's men encountered a number of Wookiees who had escaped imprisonment by the Confederacy. They went on to destroy several factories producing Decimators, and even encountered a fully operational one, which proved very difficult to defeat. Soon afterwads, Naat was kidnapped bySev'rance Tann. Allying themselves with the Wookiees, Damien, Echuu, and the Republic gathered their army at an old Wookiee base and wiped out the droid armies.

When Damien and Echuu found Naat, Tann appeared and Echuu and Naat fought a long and fierce duel. Echuu let his emotions control him, and eventually defeated her through the aid of the dark side of the Force. When the dying Tann continued to taunt him, Echuu attempted to strike the final blow, but Naat stopped him and helped him to regain control of his emotions. She urged him that they should return to the Jedi Temple. However, Echuu realized that it wasn't his Jedi training that defeated Tann, it was the strong presence of the dark side within him, and he knew that it would forever be part of his destiny.

Sending Damien and Naat back to Coruscant, Echuu began a self-imposed exile on Krant, an exile that would continue through the Great Jedi Purge and into the early years of the Galactic Civil War.

Battle of Haruun Kal (22 BBY)

 * "There's no need to win, we only have to fight."
 * ―Damien Knights

The Haruun Kal Crisis began six months after the battle of Geonosis with the dispatching of Senior Jedi Councilman Mace Windu and Senior Jedi General Damien Knights to their home planet of Haruun Kal. A holovid recovered by the Republic had shown Master Depa Billaba, who had been dispatched by the Council to train the Korunnai natives against the Separatist-backed Balawai settlers, in a state of what appeared to be bloodthirsty insanity. Billaba had been sent to the planet because although its location was of strategic importance for trade, the Republic was not yet ready to commit to a full offensive against the world. After surviving an assassination attempt orchestrated by a treasonous Republic agent and journeying upcountry to confront Billaba, Damien and Mace led the Korunnai troops, in concert with clone reinforcements under the command of CRC-09/571from the Republic transport Halleck, against the Balawai militia.

They moved against the capital city of Pelek Baw and using an ingenious strategy that combined sneaking in transports down the path of a waterfall, eventually managed to corner Balawai militia Colonel Lorz Geptun. Despite a last-minute betrayal by a number of elite Korunnai soldiers led by the dark Korunnai Kar Vastor, Windu forced Geptun to surrender the system and shut down attacking droids. This victory came at a heavy cost, however, as Billaba fell into a possibly self-induced coma at the end of the battle from which it was believed she never recovered.

Battle of Ryloth (22 BBY)

 * Windu: "Surrender."
 * Tambor: "General Windu, perhaps we can come to a compromise."
 * Damien: "No compromises."
 * Windu: "Not when I hold all the cards."
 * ―Mace Windu captures Wat Tambor

After answering a plea from the Senate, the Jedi Council sent Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano to breach the heavy Separatist blockade around the planet of Ryloth so as to make way for a ground assault aimed at freeing the Twi'lek people from Separatist occupation.

When the initial engagement with the blockade proved unsuccessful, resulting in huge losses on the side of the Republic, Master Windu and Damien Knights warned Skywalker that he was allocated only a single planetary rotation of Ryloth to breach the blockade, as the invasion needed to move forward with or without having broken the Separatist's defenses. Windu told Skywalker that they would have to postpone the invasion. As such, Skywalker and Tano utilized less than conventional tactics to defeat the Separatist warships; making way for the forces led by Masters Windu and Kenobi to begin their ground assault of the oppressed planet.

Kenobi and Ghost Company set off to land at the village of Nabat, which the Jedi planned on using as a landing point. However, proton cannons from below attacked their Acclamator assault ships above, and after Clone Commander Ponds reported that the guns were breaking through their shields, Windu ordered Kenobi to get the hostages out of harm's way, destroy the guns and allow the transports to land. Kenobi was later successful, and after the transports landed, the Jedi and the clone troopers set off for the capital city of Lessu to retake it and free the planet.

Damien and Windu along with Commander Ponds, Lightning Squadron, and the rest of his troops and AT-TEs, despite Separatist forces trying to slow their forces. Windu told Chancellor Palpatine and Senator Orn Free Taa that their forces were stretched too thin for an all out attack on Lessu. To accomplish this, Damien and Windu were forced to rely on their considerable negotiation skills, as they knew they would require the aid of Cham Syndulla; leader of the Twi'lek freedom fighters. However, Syndulla loathed to negotiate with the Republic as he did not trust Ryloth's Senator Orn Free Taa, while Taa himself feared that Syndulla planned to seize power. After learning that the Separatists had begun to bomb innocent Twi'lek villages, Syndulla at least agreed to talk with Senator Taa.

Windu acted as moderator during the talks, and ultimately was able to form an alliance between the two out of their mutual wish to see their people free. Syndulla then added his forces to Windu's and the pair managed to retake Lessu from Tambor. In addition, Damien and Windu managed to capture the fiendish Separatist leader. Damien and Windu, alongside commander Ponds, watched the victory parade in the city in satisfaction.

Battle of Quell (22 BBY)

 * "Take care of that clanker! I'll be aboard Aayla's cruiser."
 * ―Skywalker to Tano

When Jedi General Aayla Secura was attacked by the Separatists, the Resolute was sent to help her. Arriving above Quell, Damien Knights, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano went on gunships to land on the cruiser, but Skywalker used a rocket droid to land on the cruiser. Skywalker called a frigate for an evacuation of the cruiser, and met up with Secura and Bly with Damien and Tano. However, increasing Separatist fire caused a raging inferno to run through the cruiser, and Skywalker sacrificed himself to save the others, severely injuring himself in the process. Secura and Damien managed to get him on board the frigate, but as they prepared to dock with the Resolute to give Skywalker medical attention, an assault by several Vulture droids caused the hyperdrive to accidentally activate, and they were forced to detach from the cruiser.

Tano piloted the frigate to narrowly avoid hitting a star, but the ship was forced to crash-land on the remote world of Maridun. Leaving Damien and Rex to watch over Skywalker, Secura, Tano and the rest of the clones went in search of the planet's inhabitants for medical support for Skywalker. While Rex was taking a break Damien was attacked by a Mastiff phalone, but managed to fend it off. Just as a second group of the creatures attacked Damien, Skywalker, and Rex, Tano arrived with Bly and Wag Too, who was a healer belonging to the pacifist Lurmen colony. They managed to fend off the creatures and brought Skywalker to the Lurmen village.

Defense of Maridun (22 BBY)

 * "Let me stop the Separatists from disturbing your peace"
 * ―Damien to the Lurmen Village on Maridun

When Separatists arrived on Maridun, Tee Watt Kaa, leader of the Lurmen, accused the Jedi of bringing the war to their planet. Skywalker, Tano, Rex and Bly left the village so that the Lurmen would not pay the consequence of their presence. After discovering that the Separatists were planning on testing a new weapon on the Lurmen, the group took a shuttle back to the Lurmen village to defend them. The group set up shields and managed to survive a blast from the weapon, as well as the first wave of droids. However, the second wave of droids managed to penetrate the shield and destroyed it. As the Separatists prepared to use the Defoliator again, Damien arrived and managed to destroy it, along with capturing General Lok Durd. As the Jedi prepared to leave, a fleet of three Venator-class cruisers arrived on the planet: Admiral Yularen was apparently able to find them on his own.

Return to Geonosis (22 BBY)

 * Damien: "Seventy-five, Anakin, my total kills are seventy-five."
 * Skywalker: "Hmmmm....."
 * Damien: "That was too easy if you ask me."
 * Skywalker: "[pause] I'll beat you next time"
 * Damien: "We'll see."

Although Geonosis had been captured by the Republic at the onset of the Clone Wars, resistance from the Geonosian natives and their loyalty to Count Dooku proved stronger than the Jedi Order anticipated, and the Jedi soon discovered Separatist leader Poggle the Lesser had established several battle droid foundries on the planet capable of creating thousands of weapons. The Jedi Council dispatched Damien, Mundi, Kenobi and Luminara Unduli to lead a massive clone army fleet to retake Geonosis and destroy the droid foundries, the destruction of which was viewed as essential to the Republic war effort. Determined that the second battle on Geonosis go better than the first, Damien & Mundi reviewed intelligence reports extensively looking for deficiencies in the Geonosian defenses, and spent hours discussing battle tactics with Clone Commander CC-1993, also known as "Jet." The Jedi traveled to Geonosis along with a huge fleet of Venator-class Star Destroyers and Acclamator I-class assault ship. Aboard the bridge of one of the Star Destroyers during the voyage, Damien, Mundi, and Kenobi lamented at the Republic's failure to recognize how loyal the native Geonosians remained to the Confederacy.undefined

Later, a hologram meeting session was held between Damien, Mundi, Kenobi, Skywalker, Unduli, Ahsoka Tano, Palpatine, Yoda and Mace Windu to discuss the battle plan. Damien, Mundi, Kenobi and Skywalker were to lead three separate fronts of a three-pronged attack on a Ray Shield Fortress generator, which protected the primary droid foundry where Poggle had established his command post. Mundi and Jet were to lead a northern advance through the Geonosian defense lines to a staging area called Point Rain a short distance from the shield generator. The troops would establish a defensive perimeter around the staging area, where Damien & Mundi's forces would meet up with those of Kenobi and Skywalker, who would be coming in after leading their forces through central and southern advances, respectively. Once they rendezvoused, the three Jedi were to combine their forces on an attack against the shield generator. Mundi suggested if either of the three forces were met with heavy resistance that prevented them from reaching the staging area on time, the others should wait until they arrive before advancing on the shield generator.

With their planning complete, the Jedi split up to mobilize forces for the upcoming battle. Shortly after Kenobi and Skywalker's men entered the battle, Damien & Mundi boarded the LAAT/i gunship Separatist Nightmare and launched along with Jet and a company of clones aboard the Resolute, the flagship of Admiral Wullf Yularen. Damien & Mundi led several other gunships into the battle and were immediately met with extremely heavy gunfire. Several of the ships among Damien & Mundi's forces were destroyed, and Damien & Mundi quickly lost contact with Skywalker after his own gunship was shot down. Many of the ships were carrying All Terrain Tactical Enforcer and Damien & Mundi ordered them to be dropped to the ground right away, before they were all destroyed all with the gunships. Immediately after issuing this order, the Separatist Nightmare was struck by enemy fire and crashed onto the planet surface below. Many of the clones aboard were killed but Jet and Damien & Mundi survived, although the Cerean was injured, particularly in the area of his left ribcage. Jet reported that only Kenobi's forces made it to the staging area, and that Skywalker and his men had crashed were caught in a firefight with the Geonosians.

Mundi ordered the injured among his men to be loaded onto the AT-TE walker, and then for the forces to move forward toward a nearby bridge, where Damien & Mundi hoped to meet up with Skywalker's forces on their way to Kenobi's position. As the forces traveled through a large caltrop field, Mundi went up ahead and used his lightsaber to cut down the giant caltrops so his tanks could pass them unharmed. Jet requested air support from Ylaren, but the admiral denied the request, claiming all starfighters and other resources were engaged elsewhere in the planetary invasion. Upon arriving at a trail leading up to a clifftop cave, Damien & Mundi split up his forces, ordering the AT-TE walkers to take the longer route to Kenobi's position while the Jedi took a squad of 13 clones to investigate what Mundi believed was a shortcut through the cave. Damien & Mundi admitted to Jet he did not know for sure the cave would be a faster route, but could only trust his instincts. After entering the cave, which disrupted their communications, Mundi sensed an incoming presence and ordered his men to take defensive positions just as a swarm of winged Geonosian warriors attacked them.

Several of the clones were swept up and carried deeper into the cave to be killed, but Mundi ordered the men not to stop and continue pushing forward. Despite heavy casualties, Damien & Mundi's men cut their way through the cave, and upon reaching the other side, the Cerean ordered his clone flame troopers to fire their flamethrowers. Most of the remaining Geonosians were killed, allowing Damien, Mundi, and his surviving troops to exit the cave. Afterward, Mundi made contact with Skywalker, who informed him the path to the staging area was now clear but that Kenobi's forces were being overwhelmed by the enemy there. Upon a request for air support from Skywalker, Yularen dispatched a Y-wing bomber squadron, which dropped their munitions on the advancing Separatist tanks just as Damien, Mundi, Skywalker and Tano arrived at Kenobi's position. The Jedi regrouped and determined that, despite their losses, their combined forces were still sufficient to destroy the shield generator. Skywalker took a small force through the shield barrier and jammed the Geonosians' scanners, which freed the AT-TE walkers to fire upon the shield generator without risk of being targeted. Once the generator was destroyed, Damien & Mundi led the rest of the clone troopers into the battle via gunships.

After they landed, the remaining Geonosians at the Ray Shield Fortress were outnumbered by the clones and forced to surrender, marking the end of that phase of the battle. The injured Mundi and Kenobi were unable to continue with the rest of the attack, and were to be taken back to the fleet along with the other injured soldiers for bacta tank treatment. Skywalker was left in charge of the remaining Republic forces, which were to set out for Poggle's primary droid foundry. Before departing the planet, Mundi overheard Skywalker and Tano boasting about their number of kills during the battle, and the Cerean noted that his own kill total of 65, which was greater than that of either of the two other Jedi and thus earned Skywalker's respect. Mundi and the rest of the injured left the planet, while Skywalker and Unduli later led a successful effort to destroy the primary droid foundry.

By the time Mundi recovered from his injuries in the bacta tank, he was aboard a Jedi Transport docked at a Geonosian landing zone. Anxious to return to the mission at hand, Mundi reviewed strategic charts and maps to help continue the search for Poggle, who had escaped the primary droid foundry. Damien, Mundi and Kenobi were contacted via holocomm by Unduli, who had been tracking Poggle and believed he was hiding at the nearby Progate Temple. Mundi felt that location was unlikely because little would have survived the first wave of Republic attacks there, which would leave Poggle to exposure at the temple. Unduli nevertheless decided to investigate, despite Mundi's warnings against it due to an incoming sandstorm. The storm left the Jedi unable to leave the transport and provide Unduli assistance and, when Skywalker grows concerned that she failed to report in several hours later, Mundi urged him to have patience.

When Unduli finally reported back, she explained Poggle had been tracked to the temple, and her holocomm transmission cut out just as she was attacked by unseen assailants. Skywalker wished to rescue her immediately, but Damien, Mundi, and Kenobi said they had no choice but to wait for the sandstorm to die down. Later, Damien & Mundi stayed behind while Kenobi and Skywalker led forces into the temple to rescue her. After getting attacked by Geonosians infected with brain worms, the Jedi tried to send clone troopers to Mundi for reinforcements, but they were killed and the message never reached him. Kenobi and Skywalker ultimately succeeded in rescuing Unduli and taking Poggle prisoner.

Post-Geonosis Service (22 BBY)
"Don't we always?"
 * "I'm afraid we have a complication."
 * ―Ki-Adi-Mundi and Damien Knights

As they prepared to take Poggle back to Coruscant, Damien & Ki-Adi-Mundi received a transmission from Windu on Dantooine. Although Windu's forces had fended off an attack there, they had suffered heavy casualties and were in immediate need of medical supplies from a medical station at Ord Cestus. Damien informed the others, who decided to send Tano and Barriss Offee to pick up the supplies while Damien, Mundi, Kenobi and Unduli took Poggle back to Coruscant to be interrogated. Later, on the Venator-class Star Destroyer making the voyage back to Coruscant, Skywalker informed Damien, Mundi, Kenobi, Unduli and Captain Rex that the ship carrying Tano and Offee has been infected by Geonosian brain worms. Skywalker later interrogated Poggle alone and learned the brain words were susceptible to cold temperatures. When Damien asked Skywalker how he convinced Poggle to talk, the Jedi Knight declined to answer, and Damien was aware that Skywalker used violent methods to achieve his means. After that day Damien & Mundi developed a strong Friendship.

Battle of Kamino

 * "These droids are everywhere. It's about time I go on the offensive!"
 * ―Damien Knights

After the Republic intercepted a message between General Grievous and Asajj Ventress discussing a planned attack on Kamino, Damien Knights, Shaak Ti, and Prime Minister Lama Su greeted Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Knight Anakin Skywalker when they arrived in Tipoca City with reinforcements. A Separatist fleet soon arrived and engaged the Republic blockade that defended Kamino. Damien and Shaak Ti monitored the progress of the battle from Tipoca City's control room alongside Kenobi, Lama Su, Captain Rex and Commander Cody. They noted that the Separatist fleet was not large enough to defeat the blockade, and ordered Skywalker to lead the Republic's fighters in assaulting the enemy. Several Munificent-class star frigates were destroyed protecting Grievous' flagship, with their debris crashing in the ocean near Tipoca City. Kenobi became concerned that the battle was too easy, and left Damien and Ti and the others to investigate the wreckage. He discovered Aqua droids assembling Trident-class assault ships underwater, but was unable to warn the city before the droids began their assault, which was led personally by both Grievous and Ventress.

When the control room came under assault by several Aqua droids, Damien and Ti quickly dispatched them and contacted the other Jedi, noting the attacking droids were spread thin throughout the city and that the Republic needed to press their counterattack quickly. While Kenobi engaged Grievous and Skywalker hunted down Ventress, who attempted to steal a genetic sample of the clone's DNA, Damien and Ti led the clone troopers in pushing the droids back to Tipoca City's main hanger, contacting Cody to inform him on the progress of the battle. The remaining droids were soon destroyed and the Separatist fleet retreated, although both Grievous and Ventress managed to escape from Kamino.

Juma 9 & Battle of Behpour (21 BBY)

 * Obi-Wan Kenobi: "He's gone!"
 * Damien Knights: "Aww man and it was just getting fun."
 * Mace Windu: "He's defeated but not destroyed."
 * ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, Damien Knights, and Mace Windu on Dooku's defeat in their duel.

Shortly afterwards, Damien Knights and Mace Windu were sent to Juma 9 in order to rescue Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Obi-Wan Kenobi with the aid of Kit Fisto and clone private CP-6824, while Commander Ponds fought on the outside of the station itself.

They eventually took over the station once more from droid control and the three Jedi were rescued. Shortly after that, the three Jedi held a briefing with Luminara Unduli, Aayla Secura, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano who were on Alzoc III, Coruscant and Ryloth respectively. They learned from Masters Unduli and Secura that a Separatist ship crashed on Alzoc III and an unknown thief had infiltrated the ship and stole a device that could prove deadly. In addition, they reported that they had encountered Asajj Ventress.

During the briefing, they received an urgent communication from Senator Amidala who stated that she had discovered a massive Separatist facility on Behpour under the command of the Sith Lord Count Dooku. Unfortunately, she could say no more as she was captured. The Jedi, before breaking communication, organized an attack on the foundry.

With Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi diverting attention to themselves in one part of the facility, Damien, Windu, and Padawan Tano waited for the shields to the facility to be taken down to allow the Jedi and their forces to attack and invade the factory. Once the shields were down, Damien, Windu, and Tano led the charge and struck at the facility after using AT-TE walkers to get there quicker.

Once inside the facility itself, Damien, Windu, and Kenobi confronted Dooku himself. After a brief conversation and eliminating his personal guards, the three dueled Dooku. At the end of the duel, Dooku fell below the platform. Damien remarked he was gone but Windu said he was not dead. With that, they boarded the Twilight and left the facility. Soon after, Skywalker, Tano and the freed Amidala joined them.

Battle of Malastare (21 BBY)
Damien and Mace Windu later led Republic forces during the Battle of Malastare alongside Anakin Skywalker, pushing to drive Separatist forces out of the system and secure a treaty with the Dugs that would grant them access to their valuable fuel. At some point during the Malastare campaign, Dr. Sionver Boll developed an electro-proton bomb that would wipe out all electronic life but leave living organisms fully functional. They tested the technology out with outstanding results, although the resulting explosion site collapsed into a crater. Damie and Windu led the investigation squad into the crater, and was the first to discover the presence of the Zillo Beast, a creature long thought to be extinct by the Dugs.

Leading his troops in a quick retreat aboard a gunship, Windu organized an impromptu council with himself, Damien, Skywalker, Boll, Doge Nakha Urus and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to discuss their options in dealing with the creature. While the Jedi were in favor of preserving the beast's innocent life, the Dugs merely wished to see the dangerous creature destroyed forever. Taking the discussion to a private area away from Urus, Palpatine suggested that concentrated stun beams should be used to incapacitate the beast, leading the Dugs to believe it dead, and then transport it somewhere in the Outer Rim for research on its lightsaber-resistant scales. Damien, Windu, and Skywalker agreed with the plan, although Urus had already begun his own mission to dump toxic fuels into the beast's crater to kill it. Despite Damien and Windu's threats towards Urus, the argument between the pair was negated when the beast clambered out of the pit and began to terrorize the Republic camps. It was brought down by the stun rays and, in a last-minute switch of orders from Palpatine, transported to Coruscant for research.

Damien, Windu, and Skywalker followed the beast to Coruscant, where the former approached Kenobi in the hopes of starting a movement against the Supreme Chancellor and demanding the release of the creature. Although Kenobi was able to convince Skywalker and Senator Amidala to speak to Palpatine, they were too late, and the zillo beast escaped from its constraints, making a beeline towards the Senate chambers. Windu, alongside Damien, Kenobi, Yoda, and Aayla Secura as well as Captain Rex, oversaw the Republic's defense of Coruscant against the beast, commanding stun tanks to subdue the beast. Despite Windu's best efforts, the beast was unable to be peacefully tranquilized, and it was killed by concentrated toxin-bombs.

Battle of Brentaal IV (21 BBY)
"At the moment, young one. How many more moments is questionable."
 * "Agen Kolar? Do you live?"
 * ―Damien Knights and Agen Kolar

With the Clone Wars begun, Damien accompanied his Jedi friend Agen Kolar who was made a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. Ever a follower of the Council's will and a strong believer in the Jedi's duty to the Republic, he disdained those Jedi who opposed the decision to take an active role in the war. When Mace Windu discovered that the esteemed lightsaber instructor Sora Bulq had fallen to the dark side and joined Dooku's growing ranks of Separatist-allied Dark Acolytes, he warned Damien and Kolar of the betrayal and Bulq's history with Vaapad.

Five months into the war, Damien and Agen Kolar were assigned to retake Brentaal IV, a Core World located at a key hyperspace transit point, from an insurrection led by local clan leader Shogar Tok. Damien and Kolar, under the command of Jedi Council members Plo Koon and Shaak Ti, landed their clone troops on the planet, but the Republic's intelligence was faulty; Tok's ion cannons were operational and shielded, tearing the Republic landing force to pieces. A quarter of the overall forces, along with Jedi General Shon Kon Ray, were lost almost immediately. Damien and Kolar were hard-pressed, though they retained many of their soldiers.

Ti found sanctuary in a prison, where she recruited several prisoners to aid her in infiltrating Tok's fortress via a sewer connection between the two facilities. In order to help her accomplish that, she ordered Damien and Kolar to lead an assault on the north face of Tok's citadel. Once she was inside, Koon, commanding the Republic fleet in orbit of Brentaal IV, would retreat and return in four hours, by which time she hoped to have sabotaged the defenses or captured Tok. Damien and Kolar, on the surface, were given the option to retreat or surrender.

When that time came, Damien and Kolar surrendered, along with their troops. They were brought before Tok and the holographic presence of Dooku, who interrogated them as to Ti's whereabouts. Kolar briefly resisted, earning him a beating at Tok's hands, before he testified that he had felt her die in battle through the Force. Damien and Kolar were imprisoned while Tok's forces searched for her body. There they remained until Ti succeeded, at which point their troops were freed by two of her recruited prisoners: Kolar's old ally, Jedi Master Quinlan Vos; and the mercenary Sagoro Autem. Ti was badly wounded after a betrayal by one prisoner, though, and Damien and Kolar took command on the ground in the aftermath while Ti recuperated in a bacta tank.

Battle of Iceberg III (21 BBY)
"So you're General Grievous? You just might be challenge for me."

"Hahahahaha, Damien Knights! I've heard a lot about you... Even though I'm not here for you, I'll just destroy you and add your lightsabers to my collection!

―Damien Knights and General Grievous before dueling

During the 2nd Battle of Orto Plutonia, General Grievous was making his advance in The Mon Calamari System in order to take over Mon Calamari. After the 2nd Battle of Orto Plutonia, Damien and his forces rushed back to Coruscant for the briefing. Anakin Skywalker and Plo Koon explained that The Mon Calamari provide a special type of ore that strengthens the Republic Cruiser's armor. If Mon Calamari was captured, The Separatists could use that for for themselves. King Yos Kolina who was on Coruscant via hologram explained that Grievous was on the advance and that only 1 planet was left before Grievous's fleet was at Mon Calamari. A frozen planet named Iceberg III. Damien and his forces went with Plo Koon and Commander Wolfe to Iceberg III top stop Grievous's fleet. Damien commanded a star-fighter squadron while Plo Koon's cruisers broke through the blockade.

The Republic forces then began landing on the planet. Commander Wolfe then tasked Damien to pilot a gunship and take some ARC Troopers to defend a Republic base that was established in the early days of The Clone Wars while Commander Wolfe and the rest of his forces marched to the base. After making it through the droid army, Damien and his ARC troopers made a defenses around the base. A few hours later, Commander Wolffe arrived with his forces with some refugees that needed to get off the planet. Plo Koon was space battling Grievous' fleet and provided a temporary opening. While Commander Wolfee, Ghost and Gun evacuated the refugees, Damien and some of his troops made some turrets and waited for Grievous's forces to come.

After several hours of fighting The refugees were evacuated and the droid army was repelled. Grievous then decided to face Damien himself. While Commander Wolfe was cleaning up the mess. Damien told them to stand back while he dealt with Grievous. Grievous and Damien dueled in a ferocious lightsaber duel, but in the end, Damien managed to defeat Grievous. Damien requested that he surrender and never return but Grievous replied saying he would never to surrender to anyone. He then managed to escape in his and retreat. Iceberg III was safe and Grievous's advance was halted. Damien then met with Plo Koon and Commander Wolfe in The Executive hanger. Plo Koon brought bad news with him, during the battle Grievous sent an agent, Riff Tamson to assassinate King Yos Kilina. There was now instability between The Mon Calamari and The Quarren due to the fact that only King Yos Kilina could manage to keep peace between them. Prince Lee Char was next in line for the throne, however, The Quaren stated that there should be a Quaren King until Lee Char was old enough to rule the throne. Damien and his forces then went back to Coruscant for their next mission.

Knight of the Republic (21 BBY)

 * "Step forward, Padawan. Damien Knights, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, dub thee I do… Jedi… Knight of the Republic."
 * ―Yoda

Prodigiously talented in the Force, Damien passed the trials early, and continued to progress through the ranks of the order by achieving the title of Jedi Sentinel and, at the remarkably young age of seventeen. After his heroic actions at the Battle of Iceberg III and defeating General Grievous, Damien was endowed with the title of Jedi Knight. It was a controversial decision; Mace WIndu and Ki-Adi-Mundi openly and zealously supported him, while Oppo Rancisis and Adi Gallia questioned whether Damien was mature enough. But in the end, the decision fell to Yoda, who decided to have him Knighted in a secret ceremony.

Rescuing Master Piell (21 BBY)

 * "It's when things do not go as planned that concerns me. What then?"

"It's when things don't go as planned that we Jedi are at our best. Trust me." "I reserve my trust for those who take action, General Skywalker." "Then let me remind you, we rescued you back there. And I reserve my trust for those who understand gratitude, Captain Tarkin"
 * ―Captain Tarkin and Skywalker verbally spar about the escape plan

After Master Even Piell was captured due to his knowledge of the Nexus Route, Skywalker, along with Master Kenobi, Damien Knights, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, ARC Troopers Echo and Fives and three other clone troopers, was sent to rescue Master Piell from the "impenetrable" Separatist prison, the Citadel. Skywalker forbade his Padawan from coming on the mission, saying it would be too dangerous for her. When the rescue party reached the hangar of the Citadel, Skywalker devised a way to get past their scanners by being frozen in carbonite, thus stifling their life-readings. After the team was frozen, they were loaded up onto the transport ship by R2-D2's battle droid squadron. The shuttle was able to get through thanks to Skywalker's strategy. When Skywalker was thawed out, he found, to his surprise, that Tano had disobeyed orders and followed him. The team reluctantly took her along.

When they reached the Citadel, the team was successful in rescuing Master Piell just before he would have lost his good eye to an interrogator droid. Skywalker asked if Piell found the Nexus Route. Piell told him that he memorized half the information while his captain, Wilhuff Tarkin, memorized the other half as a precaution in case he cracked under the interrogation. Skywalker and the rest of the team went to free Tarkin. On their way, they were ambushed by commando droids. The team was successful in defeating the first of commando droids, but when the second squad of commando droids came, Osi Sobeck activated magnets in the ceiling, ripping the team's weapons away and trapping Skywalker by attracting his prosthetic arm. As the rest of the team scrambled to defeat the droids with telekinesis and their bare hands, Skywalker, despite being brutally electrocuted by Sobeck, was able to get his lightsaber and disable the magnet.

After the team defeated the commando droids, they rescued Tarkin and the rest of the officers. Skywalker and Kenobi then decided to split up to prevent the enemy from getting either half of the information. Kenobi took Piell and a couple of his officers with his group and Skywalker took Captain Tarkin and a couple of officer with him. Skywalker was then able to cut into an old tunnel. Skywalker was glad that things were going according to plan, though Tarkin expressed some skepticism about this plan and didn't seem grateful for rescuing him. Skywalker told Tarkin that he reserved his trust to those who understood the meaning of Gratitude. As Skywalker and his team made their way through the tunnels, Skywalker watched their rear, leaving his apprentice leading the team. When they reached a dead end, Skywalker destroyed a Recon Droid and then fought against Super battle droids and commando droids armed with shields. Skywalker, Tano and the team were able to destroy the commando droids and blast the dead end open. Skywalker and his team then went into a fuel line. Along the way, Skywalker found that he and Tarkin believed that the Jedi didn't take the initiative and did whatever it took. When they reached the exit of the fuel line they were ambushed by battle droids and Crab droids. Luckily, Skywalker was able to destroy them by throwing a grenade into the fuel line. Skywalker and his team then moved to Plan B, to meet up with Kenobi's team trying to reach the shuttle at the airfield. After the shuttle was destroyed, both teams fell back to some caves.

After Master Piell contacted the Jedi Temple, Skywalker, Damien and the rest of team moved onto to the rendezvous point. When Skywalker's and Kenobi's team reached the lava lake, they were attacked by a large battle droid force. While R2's droid team held off the enemy, Skywalker went down a cliff with the rest of the team down to the lake's shore and escapes into a set of gullies. As they move on, Skywalker warned Tarkin not to upset Master Piell if he wanted to keep his career. Tarkin stated that the Supreme Chancellor would support him, to which Anakin stated that he too knew the Chancellor well.

When Tano asked Skywalker why Piell would share half the information with Tarkin. Skywalker told Tano that Tarkin felt that the Jedi shouldn't be running the war, to which he replied that the Jedi were keepers of the peace, not soldiers. As Skywalker and Damien discussed Tarkin's haughty attitude towards the Jedi, they noticed the anooba trailing them, along with a squad of STAPs. Skywalker, Kenobi and R2 lured the creatures into an ambush, but the rest of the team itself was ambushed by crab droids and another group of STAPs. When Skywalker and Kenobi rejoined the team, Padawan Tano arrived carrying Master Piell's body, and told them that she had his half of the information. Skywalker, Kenobi and the rest of the team then took a brief moment to consign his body to the lava before moving on. When they reached the island, Skywalker and cody fired extension cables, but were then ambushed by Sobeck and his commando droids on STAPs. After Sobeck's death, Master Koon arrived and picked them up. When they returned to the Temple, Skywalker shook hands with Tarkin before he left. Skywalker then told Kenobi that they could use more men like him to help them win the war.

Return to Felucia (21 BBY)

 * "When I was out there, alone, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me. And because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well."
 * ―Tano thanking her master for his training.

Damien Knights, along with Anakin Skywalker, Padawan Tano, Master Plo Koon, and their clone officers Captain Rex and Commander Wolffe, traveled to Felucia to tend to reinforcements dispatched by General Grievous to an outpost to secure his hold on Felucia. Koon and Wolffe jumped in from one of the sides of outpost while Damien and Tano attacked from the rear. Skywalker and Rex, aided by Felucian scouts, would stage an ambush at the front of the outpost. When the outpost came under fire from the AT-TEs and Turbo Tanks, the droids were ambushed by Skywalker's men and the outpost was taken. When Skywalker asked one of Tano's men where she and Damien was, he was told that they were missing. Skywalker then proceeded to look for two, but Koon told Skywalker that he must return to Coruscant. At the Jedi Temple, Skywalker kept searching for them. Eventually, they found their own way back and Skywalker apologised to tjem for bringing them on the mission and not being too careful, but Tano thanked him for because of him training her she survived.

Mon Calamari (21 BBY)

 * "To the Gungans we must look."
 * ―Yoda finds reinforcements for their stranded allies.

Yoda, Damien Knights, and Mace Windu then made contact with Anakin Skywalker, Gial Ackbar and Senator Amidala who were on Dac to cool down tensions between the Mon Calamari and the Separatist aligned Quarren. When Kit Fisto and Ahsoka Tano went to aid their forces on the planet, they soon lost contact after the Republic was almost decimated by Separatist commander Riff Tamson.

As a result of this, the Jedi held a special session to discuss how to proceed. Saesee Tiin suggested that they find an underwater race in close proximity with an army to aid their allies, and Obi-Wan Kenobi pointed out Naboo. Yoda then contacted the Gungan boss, Lyonie, who dispatched Jar Jar Binks to lead the army to Mon Cala.

Mission to Carlac (21 BBY)

 * "When Wolffe said that the Mandalorian Death Watch were known for their hospitality, he wasn't kidding. (Laughs) They sure pack quite a fight. I love 'em."
 * —Damien reflecting on Wolffe's words toward the Death Watch while on Carlac

Shortly after becoming a Jedi Sentinel, Damien was sent on a mission by the Jedi Council to the winter planet of Carlac. In this mission, Damien would encounter the Death Watch group for the first time ever, whom he would quickly hate. After landing on Carlac, the only thing he could see was smoke, coming from homes that were burned to the ground at the hands of several Death Watch mercenaries. During the mission Damien led troopers in raiding the villages in order to free the Ming Po. Not much information is known about this mission due to it being so secret, but it is certain that Damien helped in liberating the villages.

Deployed to Umbara (21 BBY)
Damien was deployed to Umbara after the actual battle was over. A few weeks after General Pong Krellhad been killed, more Seperatist and Umbaran forces had been discovered by Republic spies. Damien was the leader of the task force sent to clear them out.

The work started with the heavily fortified Umbaran Airfield. Damien, Commander Gree, and the Green Company cleared out the inside, while the rest wiped out the remaining forces on the surface. There were also heavy cannons that could not be destroyed with traditional blasters, but Gree had an idea. When they finished clearing out the inside, he and Damien stole two Umbaran Hover Tanks and took out the heavy cannons. They would then proceed to destroy the Hover Tanks.

They then moved on to an area occupied by Trandoshan Pirates led by the infamous Captain Dheeb. They were not very skilled in combat so they were wiped out within a matter of minutes. But Gree had overheard a few of them talking about an escaped Rancor. So the hunt was on.

The next day, after getting some rest, Damien sent out a search party for the Rancor. They found it after a few hours of looking. It looked nothing like they expected. It was ice white with touches of blue and silver. It took quite a while for the squad to take him out. But they finally got the job done and headed back to the base.

Apparently the Seperatists had found out about their precense, because they started sending in ships full of droids. They scattered across a large portion of Umbara. But they were taken care of in a couple days. Damien thought his work on Umbara was done, but he was just getting started.

Just a few days after taking out the Seperatist forces, Damien was made aware of underground bunkers occupies by Seperatist and Umbaran forces. This was apparently where some had retreated to during the initial assault. The codenames for these bunkers were Grek, Usk, and Krill. The work would start with Bunker Grek.

Clearing out Bunker Grek turned out to be easier than anticipated. Not many troops were lost and it didn't take too long either. At the end, the squad met up with the Umbaran General known as Ennodius. He was the toughest of them all and had a different strategy. But the work was over when he was finished off by a surprise attack from behind as Damien gave the final blow.

The next day brought Bunker Usk. This turned out to be the shortest and easiest of all the bunkers, taking only about ten minutes. They were met at the end by General Farr-Neesbut they made short work of him. It was time to move on to the final bunker, the one known as Krill.

This one was occupied by Umbarans, Seperatists, and Trandoshans. The Trandoshans were still not very combat-ready and were taken care of quickly. Rather than an Umbaran General at the end, there were three Trandoshans. These seemed to be the only ones trained for combat. The first two were taken care of fairly easily, but the Commander was the toughest.

He had some kind of weapon that would not be cut through by a lightsaber. So the battle was on. All of the Clone Troopers were moving out, and Damien and the Trandoshan Commander were the only beings in the bunker. As the fight went on, Damien noticed that this Trandoshan was very skilled in the arts of swordfighting. Damien started to worry for himself as he began to grow tired. But, the Trandoshan lost his concentration for one second, and this mistake would end the fight. He felt a painful blow to his arms, and as he looked down, he saw that his forearms were no longer attached to his body. He tried to get out of the fight but was impaled by Damien.

By this time Damien was ready to leave Umbara. He had been there for months. But then he sensed something through the Force. It was just the smallest tremor, but he knew it couldn't be ignored. So he went on yet another search. What he found stunned him and he could not believe he had not seen it before. It looked like an Ancient Sith Academy. The entry was surprisingly easy. There was a Holocron-shaped socket in the door. Luckily, he was carrying the Sith Holocron he had stolen form a Sith a while back. He inserted it and he was in.

He could not believe what was inside. There were hundreds of Sith Acolytes. However, he could tell they were not very well trained, because he made surprisingly quick work of them. He happened to venture onto a room where he met a training droid. Each time he would defeat one, another would come out. After defeating four, he continued on. Soon enough he met a Sith named Varad Zagg. He made fairly quick work of him as well. Around a couple more corners, he saw him. Darth Maulwas standing in a room not very far away. He could sense that Maul had sensed him. He started walking toward the room. He had a very bad feeling about this. Darth Maul was obviously ready, because he came running full speed at Damien. He barely had any time to react. But he could tell Maul was not as ready as he thought. He lunged with his lightsaber toward Damien's neck, but Damien caught him by surprise. He grabbed Maul's wrist and twisted it. Maul's lightsaber fell right out of his hand and right next to Damien's foot. Perfect. He used Emerald Lightning and caught Maul by surprise once again. He then shoved Darth Maul into a small lava pool and got away through a secret door he had noticed when he got in. Darth Maul would have to defeat him another time. Darth Maul already had his lightsaber activated. Damien stared into his eyes. He activated his twin light green lightsabers. The fight had begun. It was the most intense fight Damien had ever been in. He called upon the Force to help him react as quick as he needed to. He could tell Maul was getting worn out. But then Maul ran to the end of the room, and  Savage Opress stepped out of the shadows. Damien knew he had to defeat him as quick as possible so Maul could not fully regain his strength. But Opress proved more powerful than Damien had anticipated. But he became tired very quickly and started fighting very recklessly through his anger. Before Damien could be defeated, he used Emerald Lightning and immobilized Opress. Soon Maul regained his strength and the two dueled in life threatening battle.Then Damien gained the upper hand due to his Lightning being stronger than Maul's and defeated Maul and left the Sith Temple victoriously with his life. He then made a report to the High Council and they were all proud of him, especially Yoda and Mace Windu.

Plot to kidnap the Chancellor (21 BBY)
After a meeting of the Jedi Council, Kenobi was "shot" by Rako Hardeen—a bounty hunter and marksman from the planet Concord Dawn—while walking through the streets of Coruscant at night with Damien, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano. Hardeen was hired by an anonymous client to "kill" Kenobi with a sniper rifle.

After shooting the Jedi in the chest and completing the job, Hardeen was pursued by Damien and Skywalker, but escaped on a speeder bike and with the aid of smoke grenades. Damien, Tano, and Skywalker attend Kenobi's funeral, believing him dead, and Skywalker swears to bring the perpetrator to justice.

After celebrating his high-profile kill at Trueping's cantina, his employer called him to a back room for payment. To his surprise, a very much alive Master Kenobi—having assumed Hardeen's appearance—and Master Windu arrest and incapacitate Hardeen for secret transport.

Meanwhile, during their investigation of the presumed killer, Skywalker and Damien find a presumably drunk "Rako Hardeen" at Trueping's, not knowing that it was really Kenobi in disguise. Skywalker and Damien arrest him and have him transported to the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, where the Jedi Council had been planning to insert Kenobi undercover in order to uncover a plot involving Moralo Eval to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

During his investigation, Kenobi discovered the involvement of Cad Bane in the plot and continued to assume his disguise to learn more. With difficulty in convincing Bane of his credibility, and to follow the enemy plot to its source, Kenobi assisted Bane and Eval in their escape from the detention center.

When Skywalker expressed his desire to track down the killer and return him to custody, Windu denied the request to pursue the fugitives. Not happy with the decision, Skywalker visited the Chancellor, who told him that the fugitives were on Nal Hutta. There, Skywalker and Damien harshly interrogated locals for information, which led them to Orondia, the fugitives last known location.

Skywalker and Damien had a brief skirmish with Cad Bane as well as the disguised Hardeen, but as the criminals fled the scene after incapacitating Skywalker, he informed Damien that Kenobi was indeed alive as Hardeen, acting as an undercover agent. Yoda later confirmed this when he summoned Skywalker to his quarters.

Sometime after that the Jedi Council planned the security for the Chancellor on Naboo. When Skywalker, Damien and Windu arrived in Theed with the Chancellor and Mas Amedda, Skywalker was greeted by his secret wife, Senator Amidala. At the festival itself, the attempt to abduct the Chancellor struck with Cad Bane and Moralo Eval ferrying Palpatine away while Skywalker and Windu captured Embo and Twazzi.

Damien, Windu, and Skywalker saved Palpatine with the aid of Kenobi, apprehending Eval and Bane. While walking down a corridor with Palpatine, the trio were greeted by Count Dooku, who wished to finish what he started. The duel commenced, with his guards defeated leaving him the chance to engage Dooku. With Kenobi's assistance, Dooku fled and Palpatine was saved once again.

Onderon Rebels (21 BBY)
On Onderon, which was Separatist-controlled, a group of rebels had arisen to take back the planet. Damien, Skywalker, Kenobi, and Tano went with Rex and some 501st men to aid the rebels and give them guidance. They taught the rebels sharpshooting, how to disable a droideka, and more tricks. A group of droids and AATs arrived to squash the rebels but were defeated, serving as the first test for the group. After this, Damien, Skywalker, Kenobi, and Rex with the 501st left for the war, but Tano stayed behind to lead the rebels, getting some guidance herself from Damien, Skywalker, and Kenobi. Tano and the rebels, led by Saw and Steela Gerra, eventually achieved victory with rocket launchers sent by Hondo Ohnaka and ordered by Skywalker. Tano returned to Coruscant following the funeral of Steela, who had perished during the battle.

Battle of Null (21 BBY)
As of the seventeenth month of the war, Null had become a battle zone between Republic and Separatist forces. A triage unit overseen by Jedi healers was set up behind Republic lines, though by this point, it was in danger of being over-run by enemy forces.

While attempting to heal wounded clone troopers and Jedi, Windu's former teacher T'ra Saa and the young Barriss Offee were caught in an unexpected attack by bounty hunters working for the Crimson Nova chapter of the Bounty Hunters' Guild. The hunters, riding speeder bikes, opened fire on the Jedi, killing some and setting fire to the surrounding forest. During the fight, T'ra Saa's lightsaber was knocked from her hand and collected by one of the hunters, who ultimately fled the encroaching fires. Left with no alternative against the blaze, Saa used the Force to pull trees down over the survivors, effectively trapping them away from the flames.

A rainstorm soon doused the fires, and Damien Knights and Mace Windu arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors. They uncovered Offee, the clones and an unconscious Saa, who had been wounded during her valiant attempt to save the group. Damien and Windu raced her to a waiting gunship along with Offee, even as Separatists were spotted approaching their location. The Jedi healer informed Windu of the details of the unexpected battle, and the senior Council member resolved to put an end to the Crimson Nova's activities with a mission to the Rig, their base of operations.

Mission to the Rig (21 BBY)
In the aftermath of the Battle of Null, the Jedi Council learned that a bounty had been posted on the Jedi, and that members of the Crimson Nova bounty hunters guild were attempting to collect. Rather than have his Jedi be targets on and off the battlefield, Mace Windu assembled a team of the most powerful Jedi available—Jedi Sentinel Damien Knights and Jedi Masters Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar and infiltrated the Crimson Nova headquarters on The Rig space station.

Windu's team successfully breached The Rig's security. Damien and Windu remained fully visible to the bounty hunters, deflecting attention from the other Jedi. Kolar posed as Argent Kole, a bounty hunter looking to collect credits for his "captive", Kit Fisto. While Fisto incited riots among the prisoners, Tiin, in the guise of a smuggler, set off an explosion in the hangar bays.

With The Rig in turmoil, the Jedi executed their show of force, fighting their way into the command center and ensuring the deaths of the guild leaders. The bounties were rescinded, and the originator, Kh'aris Fenn, was later executed by Damien Knights.

Battle of Foerost (20 BBY) Early in 20 BBY, The Techno Union had captured Foerost in order to use its vast shipyards to their advantage. However, The Victory Fleet blockaded the planet to ensure no Separatists weapons left the planet. However, The Techno Union planned to break the blockade with their newest weapon: The Bulwark Battlecruiser. The Techno Union sent 9 of there newest weapons to break the blockade. The Victory Fleet engaged the Bulwark cruisers and were taking heavy losses quickly due to the Bulwark's Superiority. Steve's fleet happened to be in the system and The Victory fleet requested help. Damien and Ki-Adi-Mundi set course for Foerost. Once they got there they immediately opened fire on The Bulwark Cruiser. Steve ordered The Executive Crew Men to activate all weapons and destroy the nearest Bulwark Cruiser. The Bulwark cruiser was destroyed in seconds. The Separatist Commander, Dua Ningo decided that his ships couldn't last to long so he ordered his ships to escape. What was left of The Bulwark fleet escaped. Foerost was safe and this was one of the most important battles during the year and it would fire up The Outer Rim Sieges.

Battle of Alderaan (20 BBY)
Shortly after The Battle of Foerost, General Grievous massed his forces for an assault on Alderaan. Bail Organa pleaded to the Senate for a Republic fleet to help defend his planet. Damien and Ki-Adi-Mundi agreed to help defend Alderaan.

Damien was in charge of defending Alderaan on the surface incase any droidships got through. Grievous arrived and attacked Alderaan. Both sides took heavy losses. The Executive and The Invisible Hand boarded and Damien and Grievous dueled once again. But this battle was a standstill between the two. The droid fleet managed to send several landing craft down to the surface. Damien warned Ki-Adi-Mundi of the incoming attack and Mundi ordered the planetary batteries to open fire on the landing craft. Many landing craft were shot down.

However, a few managed to land the droids onto the surface but they were quickly destroyed by Mundi and his troops. Eventually Grievous decided his forces were taking too much damage and ordered a retreat. Bail Organa thanked Damien and Mundi and both gave them medals to honor their service as well as all the other clone troops that fought during the battle. Alderaan was safe and this was one of the most important battles during the year and it would fire up The Outer Rim Sieges.

Battle of Cerea (20 BBY)
Cerea, being a paradise world, was invaded by the Confederacy. With many civilians being killed, the Republic launched a counter-attack to prevent more losses. Led by Jedi General's, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Damien Knights.

However, the battle lasted for a month, with Republic and Separatist forces firing back at one another. As the battle progressed, many civilians were killed, including the whole of Mundi's family. Mundi then ordered walkers of Cannon Company to destroy Separatist artillery so that the troops could breach the left flank and destroy the main Separatist supply depot. Damien and his forces managed to destroy several Droid Army outposts. The Republic fleet, meanwhile was able to destroy a large percentage of the enemy fleet, causing it to retreat. The battle ended when Bo-Ro-Tara was assassinated by Gossam Commandos, resulting in a Republic victory. Mundi, meanwhile, grieved for his family, knowing that it would haunt him as the war continued.

Battle of Boz Pity (20 BBY)
After Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered a Separatist presence on the planet of Boz Pity the forces of the Republic engaged the Separatists on the planet's surface after a crash landing, led by Jedi Generals; Mace Windu and Damien Knights foremost among them. With Kit Fisto, Anakin Skywalker, Saesee Tiin, Kenobi and Senator Bail Organa, they targeted the Separatist's medical facility. Master Soon Bayts was in the first wave with his clones, and was killed by General Grievous, though Alpha-17was merely impaled and survived the injury. Damien and Windu witnessed this and then dropped a STAP on the General, disabling him for the duration of the battle.

Count Dooku left the medical center, but was attacked by Damien and Windu. After a brief bout of indecisive swordplay, Dooku had two of his MagnaGuards grapple the Jedi Master and drag him into a pit. Dooku himself headed for the evacuation point, rescuing the badly damaged Grievous and leaving Ventress for dead.

The blockade apparently retreated or was dispersed following the victory of the battle.

Duel on Saleucami (19 BBY)
Damien is told Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura have disappeared, and that the Jedi Watchmen are looking for them throughout Saleucami. Damien later arrives in Saleucami just in time to save Quinlan from the Sora Bulq.

Bulq prepared for a showdown, intent on driving Damien to the dark side. However, at that moment Tholme revealed himself once more, having faked death. He intervened on Damien's side, engaging Bulq, who lost his shoto when he hurled it to activate the room's lockdown sequence. Bulq furiously battled Tholme, whose continued sabotage had become a powerful irritant—especially considering that Bulq had once saved him from death—and caused him to attempt to draw out the duel with Tholme and prolong the Jedi spymaster's death for his own catharsis. Bulq wounded Tholme in the leg, leaving him vulnerable on the floor, but Damien killed his opponent, Skorr, in time to block Bulq's killing strike. Bulq turned to dueling Damien, still attempting to drive him to the dark side and against Tholme with Dooku's aid. As Damien struggled with the dark side and turned inside to confront his own darkness with Secura and Tholme's mental support, Bulq easily gained the advantage over Damien. As Damien knelt, Bulq rushed in behind him, lightsaber upraised for the killing strike. At that moment, however, Damien conquered his inner darkness and turned, rising and striking Bulq across the chest. Bulq collapsed as Dooku watched his lieutenant die.

A troubled clone (19 BBY)
Near the end of the war, Damien Knights Master Shaak Ti oversaw the testing and investigation of the clone trooper known as "Tup," who had seemingly gone rogue and killed a Jedi. Master Ti attempted to assert the authority of the Jedi Council to analyze a tumor that had been found in Tup's brain, but was overruled by the Kaminoans. Instead, the body of the trooper, now dead, was sent to the Grand Republic Medical Facility on Coruscant.

Tup's actions were investigated independently by another clone trooper called "Fives." Fives, assisted by the droid AZ-345211896246498721347, discovered that the tumour had been bio-engineered and suspected a larger plot to be the cause of Tup's traitorous actions. They also discovered that Fives and all troopers had been implanted with the same biotechnology tumor and attempted to bring the revelations to Shaak Ti, despite interference from the Kaminoans.

Damien also invoked Jedi authority, insisting that both Fives and the chips be sent to Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine for investigation, rather than let the troopers be terminated by the Kaminoans.

Battle of Coruscant (19 BBY)
Towards the end of the Clone Wars General Grievous orchestrated a surprise attack on Coruscant itself. During the battle Damien and Mace Windu piloted their personal ship around the capital and destroyed huge numbers of the Separatist's forces. However, they were eventually forced to abandon their craft and took control of a droid ship; using it to take down several of its fellows.

After this, Damien and Windu apparently dueled Grievous himself atop a moving train and defeated the notorious cyborg; knocking him from the train. Damien and Windu subsequently joined Yoda and aided him to hold the Republic's line against the masses of Separatist battle droids. The three highest ranking members among the Order soon began to question why Grievous had launched such an attack without trying to capture the Jedi Temple or the Senate. It soon became clear that he had orchestrated the attack as a ruse to hide his true objective; the capture of Chancellor Palpatine.

Grievous successfully captured Palpatine, though before he tried to take the captive Chancellor back to his ship, the Invisible Hand, he was confronted by Damien Knights. Using Force Crush, Damien devastated Grievous' armor and organs (the lungs in particular). This accounts for the coughing fits the cyborg would face during the end of his life. Force Crush is one of the darkest Force maneuvers known to the Jedi, and perhaps even the Sith, so Damien's use of such a dark mutilation was most unusual. However, the general survived and escaped with Palpatine; though Kenobi and Skywalker would ultimately rescue him, and kill Count Dooku himself.

Battle of Mygeeto & Order 66 (19 BBY)
Republic forces were dispatched to the system and invaded Mygeeto. A light Separatist blockade was easily destroyed and the Republic soon began landing ground forces on the surface. Subsequently, the battle intensified on the planet, which was a major holding of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Two major units participated in the battle, with a majority of the fierce combat falling upon the Galactic Marines. The unit fought the Separatist Droid Army in extended urban fighting amid the ultramodern towers of a major Mygeetan city. A second unit of the Grand Army involved in the battle were elements of the 501st Legion, who were sent on a special mission from the Chancellor himself.

The 501st, according to Damien Knights and Ki-Adi-Mundi, were dispatched to Mygeeto to destroy an energy collector which powered Separatist facilities in the area. However the true intent of the mission was to secure the Separatist power generator, and to acquire the ancient Mygeetan crystal powering it. The crystal was an experimental power source that the Chancellor required for a top-secret tributary laser-stream project codenamed "Hammertong".

After the Republic landed, the Galactic Marines began pounding the Mygeetan landscape with torpedo bombardments and fuel fires. The 501st were deployed at the southern section of a small city. Only one gunship could land, due to dual particle cannon turrets. Other gunships provided aerial support. An AT-RT was deployed and the 501st assaulted the southernmost bridge. The troopers took the bridge and captured the Confederacy's forward command post. Then the two particle cannon turrets were destroyed, allowing Jedi Generals Mundi and Damien to land. While Damien destroyed two shield barricades to allow the 501st troopers to advance, Mundi captured an outpost additional troopers were landed.

However, things grew complicated when one of Ki-Adi-Mundi and Damien Knights' fellow Jedi, Rivi-Anu, ended up shot in the arm and losing her lightsaber when ordered to secure the west flank. In addition, one of the Republic'sVenator-class Star Destroyers was shot down over Mygeeto and headed towards the battlefield, placing several Republic forces in jeopardy. Anu instead decided to use the Force to hold off the doomed Star Destroyer long enough for Damien, Mundi, and the rest of the Republic's forces to evacuate the area, sacrificing her life in the process. Mundi and Damien later reflected on her sacrifice.

Heavy Separatist resistance came from AAT tanks. Also more AA guns were positioned at the north end of the central platform. The 501st, led by Jedi General Damien Knights, pushed the Confederacy battle droids' line across the northern bridge to the building housing the energy collector. Ki-Adi-Mundi disabled shield barricades covering the entrances to the building. Destroyer droids in the compound proved to be a minor problem, and the energy collector core was destroyed. After Mundi had been extracted, the 501st retrieved the crystal samples. The troopers fought through a Separatist counter assault to the southern platform, and extracted the crystals via gunship.

The battle went on for the Galactic Marines. During a concentrated Republic push to rout the Separatists, fighting spread across the cities of Mygeeto.Damien skillfully used his lightsaber to deflect enemy fire, while leading a force of Marines supported by UT-AT assault vehicles and other heavy walkers. Tri-droids provided heavy fire for the Separatist army during the fighting and destroyed several UT-ATs.

The battle intensified on a number of vast bridges, which stretched across a great chasm, linking several city districts. The clones continued to advance across the bridges. It was here that Ki-Adi-Mundi would fight his last battle.

The death of Ki-Adi-Mundi (19 BBY)

 * "Come on!"
 * ―Ki-Adi-Mundi's last words

When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued the Declaration of a New Order, Jedi Generals Damien and Mundi were still on Mygeeto, commanding Republic forces. As the Generals rallied his troops on a bridge spanning a chasm between two city blocks, with enemy droids destroying several UT-ATs, Commander Bacara was contacted through a secure, holographic comlink that was frequency-locked to a channel reserved for the Commander-in-Chief. The hologram was of a hooded Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, ordering him that it was time to execute Order 66.

Bacara complied and moments later, on his order, the clones nearest General Mundi suddenly stopped fighting. Confused, Ki-Adi-Mundi turned around and was blasted by clone fire. The surprised Jedi Master managed to kill three Marines by deflecting their fire before succumbing to his troops' fire.

Defense of the Jedi Temple (19 BBY)
Damien could already tell that there was a massacre going on at the Jedi Temple so he fled from Mygeeto to help. When he arrived he sensed that Anakin had been seduced to the dark side of the force by Sidious and had become Darth Vader. As the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic, led by Darth Vader, descended on the Temple, Damien rallied his fellow Jedi in an attempt to repulse the Sith and his minions. While fighting valiantly alongside his peers, Damien quickly realized that he could not prevent the fall of the Temple. Rushing to the hangars, the Sentinel began a mass evacuation. Aided by Temple employees and other Jedi, Damien ensured that many Initiates, Padawans, Knights, and Masters made their way into the bowels of Coruscant before he reluctantly made his own escape.

Exile and Journey's (18 BBY)
After the deaths of many Jedi Masters Damien went into exile. Before going, Damien went to Felucia where he saw Shaak Ti, after feeling her presence. Damien was relieved to see one of his masters alive and well. Shaak Ti told Damien that he was already preparing to be a master and had the potential of one, thus didn't need anymore training. Accepting her words Damien departed, thanking her for the training she had given him. He would then leave, then to officially go into exile on the planet of Quarzite, where he met Krismo Sodi and the Kage Warriors. There he sparred with Krismo Sodi in Martial Arts and surprisingly defeated him. The young group of Warriors would all live peacefully on Quarzite, where Damien took the time in training his Kage Warriors, along with Krismo Sodi, teaching them how to wield the Electro-Sword in an unorthodox reverse grip technique. Using an ancient Force ability, Damien would cloak their presence to prevent them from being found by Imperial Forces and spies. However, Damien would be one of the most wanted Jedi in the Galactic Empire. Thousands of wanted posters were placed across the galaxy in order to find him, but he would never be found by Sidous or Vader. One reason was because Damien killed any Imperial Stormtrooper who came close to finding him and hid their bodies in many planets across the galaxy.

Aing-Tii Monks (5 BBY)
Damien set out on his travels in 5 BBY, taking a leave of absence from the Kage Warriors. Over the course of his long journeys, Damien sought out many different Force-using orders. Early in his journey, he penetrated the Kathol Rift to visit the Aing-Tii, experts in the manipulation of time and space who viewed the Force as a rainbow of many gradations rather than being divided into a light and dark side. Admitted to study among them, Damien learned from Tadar'Ro—one of their number who had previously interacted with Jorj Car'das, a reclusive information broker and the only prior Human student admitted among the Aing-Tii. Tadar'Ro, communicating through a device that translated the pheromones Aing-Tii used to express themselves, taught him Aing-Tii powers of teleportation, as well as flow-walking, a technique to experience the past or future by projecting oneself into it. The young Korun learned swiftly, easily understanding the Aing-Tii's complex approach to the Force. He hoped that he could use this power to alter the past and save all his Jedi companions from Oder 66, but he was devastated to learn that he could only experience the past, not change it. Damien critiqued the Aing-Tii's multifaceted understanding of the Force, and his challenges earned the Aing-Tii's displeasure. Over the ages, the Aing-Tii had accumulated many relics in a cave they called the Embrace. In accordance with their beliefs, they had to gather the Force-strong artifacts, but could not touch them. As an unbeliever, Damien was allowed to contact them, and spent some time in the Embrace exploring the various relics. When he touched a powerful artifact known as the Codex, he experienced a significant amplification of his powers.

Baran Do Sages (4 BBY)
In 4 BBY, Damien began studying among the Baran Do Sages on Dorin. Master of the Baran Do Order Koro Ziil personally tutored Damien in their techniques, which specialized in the use of the Force to manipulate electricity, extend the senses, apprehend danger, Kel Dor Martial Arts, and keep oneself from detection. Damien began with weather-detection techniques, but wanted to move on to more esoteric abilities. Within only three days, he mastered the ayna-seff variation of the hassat-durr family of talents, which involved manipulation of the body's electromagnetic field. Damien, in turn, gave Ziil practice in lightsaber sparring. He finished his sojourn after completing his time with the Baran Do. While, studying documents he had brought along, he learned about the Rebels and decided to seek them out.

Secret Apprentice (3 BBY)
While Damien was meditating on Haruun Kal, he was attacked by Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller. He was the previous Jedi to be attacked before Shaak Ti was. During their duel, Damien's strength in power was greater than Starkiller's. He didn't know Damien had the skills and precision to dodge any of his attacks. Even though the secret apprentice was trained by the dangerous Lord Vader, He tried to persuade him that he could be used as Vader's weapon and be killed one day. Eventually it only made Starkiller's rage increase. In some part of the duel, Damien disarmed one of his hands from carrying a pair of lightsabers electrocuted him with a barrage of emerald lightning. As Damien's blade was about to end Starkiller's life, he retaliated with force lightning but Damien blocked it with his lightsaber and redirected the lightning back in a display of the "superconducting loop" of Vaapad. Damien's technique set Starkiller in surprise which gave him the advantage to decrease his strength and power with Starkiller's own force lightning. With the dangerous Jedi killer low in power, Starkiller quickly made a ran and escaped the planet.

Joining The Rebellion (3 BBY)
In 3 BBY, Damien volunteered to help the Rebellion to end the Empire's long terror of fear and darkness. While helping the Rebellion, he never revealed himself as a Jedi. Even though he has been in Battles during the Clone Wars as a young Jedi many times, he was able to express his experience advice's and help to help them. During his experience with the Rebellion, he was able to meet the two secret siblings of Anakin Skywalker, Luke and Leia.

Battle of Yavin (0 BBY)
As the Battle of Yavin began Damien contributed to the battle by invading the first Death Star to fight Darth Vader. As he charged along the corridor towards the observation dome, he was spied by the security systems. Darth Vader emerged through the entrance to the dome, lightsaber ignited. Vader acknowledged that Damien had gotten stronger and was trained well by his late Master Mace Windu, but declared that Damien still had much to learn, though Damien countered that Vader is weaker than him and that if he remained a Jedi he could have chance of beating Damien. Vader, utterly confident that he would best Damien easily, opened the battle with a simple double strike. Damien was caught off-guard by the power of the blow, which jarred his wrists and shoulders and nearly disarmed him. Vader used Damien's momentary lack of composure to attack him telekinetically, though Damien managed to sweep aside the missiles. Ducking under two savage slashes, he stabbed at the Dark Lord's abdomen before flicking his blade up, trying to spear Vader through the throat. Vader only barely managed to block, and both combatants momentarily broke off.

Damien realized that until this duel, he and Vader had never truly fought as equals; during their training in the Jedi Order, either Vader would capitulate or Damien would hold back. They fought back and forth, with Damien taking a defensive stance against Vader's overwhelming offense. As he fended off Vader's series of attacks, he danced around the Dark Lord's defenses, testing their limits, all the while taunting Vader. He mocked his friend with the knowledge that, while Damien had broken free from the Dark Side's temptation, Vader himself lacked the wherewithal to free himself from Sidious. Realizing that there were better ways to kill than to call on his anger, Damien came to pity Vader, seeing the Dark Lord as a result of the same manipulations and abuse as himself, and thus desired to kill him as a way of "freeing" his former friend from the pain of being enslaved to the Sith. Damien's taunts, especially his professions of pity, enraged Vader, who ramped up the intensity of his attack. Damien continued to use his self-taught Soresu to great effect, wasting little energy and turning Vader's would-be death blows into superficial burns. As Vader continued to relentlessly attack, Damien suddenly counter-attacked with a blast of Emerald lightning, which broke Vader's momentum and forced him onto the defensive for the first time. Damien began to steadily gain ground while Vader fell back.

Eventually, Damien saw an opening in Vader's defenses and took advantage of it, slashing Vader across the throat. Surprised but elated, Damien scored two more hits on the Dark Lord in short order before telekinetically pummeling Vader with any and all objects he could find. The last such missile was an energy field generator, which detonated on impact with Vader. The blast severely damaged the Sith Lord's armor and respirator, and destroyed most of his mask and helmet. As Damien approached him, intending to finish him, he saw Vader's face uncovered for the first time. Vader, much to the shock and surprise of Damien, was a terribly scarred old man, in whose eyes Damien saw only pain and exhaustion. Before Damien could give the finishing blow to Vader, he received a message that the Rebels were about to blow up the Death Star so Damien left Vader for dead and escaped the Death Star one minute before its explosion.

Battle of Endor (4 ABY)
Damien fought alongside the Ewoks and the Rebel soldiers against stormtroopers. Damien was able to fend off AT-ST's troubling the Stormtroopers and giving an advantage to the Rebels. One took a shot at a group of Rebels and Ewoks, which failed since Damien used the Force to stop the blast and absorb it, only to release a powerful blast of Emerald Lightning straight to the AT-ST disintegrating it completely. He then Force crushed several AT-ST's and helped Chewbacca and an Ewok take control of one. Ambling to dismantle the door to the shield generator, three Rebel Soldiers guarded the place while Damien, Han Solo, and Leia Organa with several troopers entered the place. After a successful break in into the bunker, the bombs were set and the shield generator was destroyed. A few minutes later the second Death Star was destroyed. After the destruction of the Death Star, Coruscant went into cheers upon the death of Palpatine, as to leading the creation of the New Republic. Its creation became a great moment in galactic history, as to time where the Sith had been defeated, but peaceful times were not meant to last.

New Republic era (5 ABY–25 ABY)
Years later a time came, where it brought great joy to Damien, due to the fact that Luke Skywalker had now finally established the New Jedi Order. After receiving this news Damien and his family now knew that the Jedi had officially returned. Just like Obi-wan told Luke, he told Damien that they were no longer the old, they were now the new. Understanding this Damien would help Luke rebuild the Order, as to even making a Praxeum on Yavin 4. There Damien alongside his friend Luke Skywalker, took the role as the first Masters of the Order. As a Jedi who has been through many Battles in the Clone Wars Damien became the Jedi Battlemaster and Master of the Order.

Master of the Order Trials (12-15 ABY)
After the creation of the New Jedi Order in 11 BBY, in that same year, Yoda appeared to Damien, while he was training Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn. Yoda told him that he was on the verge of becoming a Master of the Order, but to achieve the title, he had to do a few trials. Doing so, Damien participated in the trails, which took three years. Then in 15 ABY, Damien was given the title of Master of the Order, and also, succeeding Mace Windu. As Master of the Order, Damien became the Leader of the Jedi High Council.

Yuuzhan Vong War (25 ABY-29 ABY)
In the years prior to the Yuuzhan Vong War, Damien continued to train Jedi, and spent some of his own time teaching Kyle Katarn Form VI: Niman and to successfully cleave through cortosis ore with a lightsaber. In 25 ABY, the New Jedi Order faced its greatest challenge to date. Without the governance of a Jedi Council, the new Jedi Knights lacked unity and focus. Many were accused of reckless vigilantism, and the Republic citizenry began to grow suspicious of their protectors. Worse came the Yuuzhan Vong, extragalactic alien invaders bent on conquest. The Jedi became the first line of defense for the Republic, but their failure to repulse the brutal aliens was widely reported. Incidents like the Battle of Osarian and the Battle of Ithor caused the Senate and the public to oppose the Jedi. Strangely, the Yuuzhan Vong did not exist in the Force, and thus the Jedi were robbed of their most powerful abilities against this new enemy. It raised fundamental problems for the Jedi, who wondered if the problem was with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Force, or the Jedi themselves. Damien was inclined to believe that the problem was with the Jedi, as his own training had been rushed.undefined

Early during the invasion the Yuuzhan Vong chose to attack the defenseless planet Artorias. Just as they were about to break into a hangar and kill the refugees, Damien arrived and defeated the Yuuzhan Vong allowing those in the hangar to escape. Damien than recruited the Prince of Artorias Finn Galfridian into the Jedi Order after noticing that he was Force-sensitive.undefinedDuring Galfridian's early training on Yavin IV, Damien prevented a Tuk'ata from attacking Galfridian, Jacen, Jaina and Anakin when the younger Jedi investigated the cave that it inhabited. In later discussion with Masters Kyp Durron and Lar Le'Ung he opposed the use of using Galfridian as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong, saying that Finn's training couldn't be rushed like his own was. However, when word came that the planet Rychel was being attacked, he decided that it would be beneficial to take Galfridian with him in order to see his reaction. Damien, Master Le'Ung and Finn went to the planet Rychel and Damien fought off attacking warriors. During the battle Master Le'Ung was killed by a Yuuzahn Vong commander. While the evacuation ships were taking off, Luke witnessed a confrontation between Finn and the Yuuzahn Vong who killed Master Le'Ung. Although Finn had the opportunity to kill the warrior he chose instead to spare him in the hopes that he would learn compassion. Damien was proud of Finn and consoled him over the death of Le'Ung.undefinedThe Yuuzhan Vong took specific interest in the Jedi, proclaiming them the worst of a galaxy full of infidels.

After the Battle of Duro, which saw Jacen Solo defeat Warmaster Tsavong Lah in a duel to rescue his mother, Lah announced that peace could be maintained if the galaxy would turn in every single Jedi to the Yuuzhan Vong. Many in the New Republic began to turn against the Jedi in an effort to appease the Yuuzhan Vong and blunt their destructive invasion. Organizations such as the Peace Brigade betrayed the Order, and began rounding up Jedi captives for the invaders. The Yuuzhan Vong then destroyed the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, killing Master Ikrit and shaping Tahiri Veila in the process, which forced young Jedi initiates into exile. It was as if the dark times of Palpatine's Empire had returned. Headstrong Jedi like Kyp Durron called for aggressive actions to counter the Yuuzhan Vong threat. Durron attracted a large number of Jedi candidates to work independently, a move which divided the Jedi Order deeply. Damien knew that fear and too aggressive a path would lead his Jedi to the dark side. Instead of an aggressive counter offensive, Damien called for the help of Han and Leia, engineering an underground fugitive network, dubbed the Great River, and two secret havens called the Shelter and Eclipse Station, to protect the beleaguered Jedi Knights.

Leading from the front (25 ABY)
With their plan to capture every single Jedi having failed and with Kyp Durron having tricked the New Republic military to destroy a new worldship, the Yuuzhan Vong declared the truce broken. Soon after came the voxyn threat, which proved even more lethal than the Peace Brigade. After conducting a vote on Eclipse Station, Damien approved the launch of the Mission to Myrkr. Meanwhile, in the Senate on Coruscant, the turning point of the Jedi came when Borsk Fey'lya openly pledged his home system to support the Jedi in order to counter Nom Anor's demand. At the same time, Damien successfully united Kyp Durron, Saba Sebatyne and their squadrons with the Jedi Order by promising that the Jedi would carry the war to the Yuuzhan Vong. Returning to the front line, Damien led half the Jedi and most of the Masters in the galaxy to rescue the hostages in Talfaglio's orbit. With the combined strength of Saber Squadron, Shocker Squadron, the Wild Knights, the Kyp's Dozen, and New Republic reinforcements, the Jedi swiftly defeated the Yuuzhan Vong fleet and rescued almost everyone, with the bonus of capturing a yammosk. Together with Borsk Fey'lya, Damien used the stunning victory to turn the tide against the anti-Jedi faction in the Senate and earn the New Republic military's official support and cooperation with Jedi activities.

After the fall of Reecee, Damien attempted to capture a living yammosk when Booster Terrik lured an enemy fleet to Eclipse Station. The plan failed, as Tsavong Lah had instructed his subordinates to destroy any yammosk which was threatened to fall into the Jedi's hands. Next, Damien led the Jedi to take part in a nine hundred ship task force which crippled the staging Yuuzhan Vong fleet in the Black Bantha Nebula and saw to the capture of a living yammosk.

When the tide seemed to finally favor the Jedi, the Force once again shifted to nightmarish darkness with a series of developments: the death of Anakin Solo on Myrkr, the leak of Eclipse Station's coordinates, the fall of Coruscant, and the near-successful kidnapping of Ben by the Kuati traitor Viqi Shesh.

Despite joining forces with General Wedge Antilles' Fleet Group Three, the Jedi were still hopelessly outnumbered by Tsavong Lah's invasion fleet. While the Jedi destroyed several enemy yammosks and Lah's flagship, the Sunulok, the Jedi starfighter wing also paid a heavy price. Damien was shot down in his X-Wing when He attempted to recover the kidnapped Ben. When Lando and YVH 1-1A took over to recover the baby, Luke led Mara and Artoo to defend Coruscant with a surface turbolaser battery. The trio escaped the doomed Coruscant aboard the Falcon. Thankfully, Lando was able to rescue Ben and Threepio from Viqi Shesh, though the treacherous Kuati escaped.

Accompanied by Wedge's fleet group, Damien founded and led Twin Suns Squadron in the recapture of Borleias. Together with his life-long friends, they founded the Insiders to counter the self-declared Chief of State Pwoe and his corrupted Advisory Council. Damien continued to serve the Borleias garrison, through both ground patrols against Yuuzhan Vong resistance forces and space missions as Twin Suns leader until he passed the squadron to Jaina for the needs of psychological warfare. In the depths of the altered city planet, Damien and the others, disguised as Yuuzhan Vong, explored the Vongformed planet. Damien, persuading a devourer tank that he was not food, got the others access to a secret laboratory where they learned the source of the dark side premonitions Damien had received, though at the cost of his black outfit. Tahiri, and Damien faced off against Lord Nyax, the deranged, mutated Dark Jedi who once was Irek Ismaren, pursuing him throughout the city as they tried to stop his plans to release a wellspring of Force energy. Surviving a massive Force battle at the site of the old Jedi Temple, Damien left Coruscant and returned to take over Blackmoon Squadron when Wedge launched Operation Emperor's Spear against former Warmaster Czulkang Lah.

Battlemaster Vs. Warmaster (28 ABY)
Damien received a help call from Jaina Solo and he quickly fled Ebaq 9. While Lah's grutchyna burrowed their way into Jaina Solo's hiding place and his warriors cornered Jacen Solo, he heard the desperate cry of his subaltern as the junior officer realized that Vergere was approaching the moon base in an A-wing starfighter at maximum speed. With a great explosion of plasma, Vergere's starfighter impacted the central mine shaft and sent a fireball sweeping through the moon base's main tunnel. A wave of heat and radiation instantly eliminated many warriors before the fireball sucked all of the oxygen out of the base's tunnels in a matter of seconds. Any Yuuzhan Vong who didn't perish from explosive decompression experienced syncope, dying while unconscious, or embolisms due to lack of air. Lah's entire ground assault force died within minutes of Vergere's suicidal strike. The warmaster passed out, surviving due to the loyalty of his attenders, who placed a gnullith over his face that allowed him to breathe in the absence of oxygen and an ooglith cloaker to mask him against the cold vacuum. In space, Blood Sacrifice detonated in a massive explosion and the remnants of Lah's armada were destroyed to the last warship. The warmaster awoke beneath the corpses of his warriors. Lah thought of the extent of his failure at Ebaq 9 and considered removing his gnullith to suffocate with his dead warriors. As he remembered that Jaina Solo and her comrades were nearby, however, he abandoned the idea of suicide and prepared an arsenal of weapons, before concealing himself beneath the corpses and waiting for his foe to approach. Sure enough, Damien Knights arrived to treat Solo's wounds.

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:23px;"> Tsavong Lah sprang from his hiding place and Attcked Damien, revealing himself to the Jedi. Lah threw immobilizing blorash jelly at Damien's feet, rooting him in place, before hurling his tsaisi like a spear towards Damien shoulder, but Damien cut himself loose and threw the spear back at Lah. Tsavong Lah was free to engage Damien. With a double-handed grip the warmaster bludgeoned at Damien's lightsaber blade in an attempt to beat down the Jedi's defenses. Sebatyne fired at Lah with a blaster but the warrior evaded and returned to the attack. Disarming his opponent, Lah lunged in for Jaina Solo but Damien kicked him in the face and destroyed the front of Lah's radank claw before the warrior could react. The Warmaster flew into a rage and delivered a powerful barrage of attacks that Damien easily evaded. Having levitated her own lightsaber with the Force out of Lah's sight, Solo brought the blade streaking in like a spear and ran it through the Warmaster's throat. Swilja Fenn's prophetic words of two years prior rang true; the Jedi, whom Tsavong Lah had pursued relentlessly since the Battle of Duro, had ultimately proved to be the end of the warrior.

Ending the war (29 ABY)
The Recapture of Coruscant had begun. Damien and the Solo twins fought through the Sacred Precinct, and the team entered the Citadel with Jacen's help. There, Damien led the assault to the top level, slaying warrior after warrior. The Jedi Master became a calm maelstrom of Force energy, surrendering his individual personality to the Force and becoming the embodiment of its will. Neither Jaina nor Jacen were able to perceive their Master as he moved faster then even their Jedi senses could follow, calmly ripping through scores of elite Yuuzhan Vong warriors as Damien's massive power was unleashed. In Shimrra's chamber, Damien and the Solo twins killed several Slayers guarding the Supreme Overlord. Embracing the Unifying Force, Damien used his unique green Electric Judgment for the first time on a Slayer to save Jacen. While Jaina pursued the fleeing Onimi, Shimrra Jamaane knocked out Jacen and engaged the Jedi Master. Struggling against the giant Shimrra, Damien failed to leap out of Shimrra's attacking range while Shimrra's Scepter of Power wrapped itself around Damien. As Damien held back the amphistaff, Shimrra deflected Jacen's saber throwand attempted to slay Luke with Anakin Solo's lightsaber. Damien released his hold on the Scepter to push away Shimrra's wrist and was bitten by the staff. When Shimrra prepared to strike the death blow, Damien Force pulled Anakin's lightsaber into his hand, slashed the amphistaff into pieces with his own blade, and beheaded Shimrra with the cross of the lightsabers.

Unable to fight anymore, Damien sent Jacen to rescue Jaina. Fortunately, after the battle, Jacen was able to concoct an antidote by manipulating his own tears. Damien then played a key role in the Sekot Accords, convincing Nas Choka and the Yuuzhan Vong to surrender and live a peaceful life on Zonama Sekot. Gathering all the Jedi that had survived the war, Damien explained to them a new path for the Order: their role was to embrace the Force completely and serve its will wherever it would guide them.

Acting on the advice of Kam Solusar, Damien along with Luke Skywalker established a new Jedi Academy on Ossus, where they continued to train young Jedi in the ways of the Force. A few years later, more Jedi candidates, including Luke's son, would attend the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus.

Second Galactic Civil War (40 ABY)
During the initial start of the year of 40 ABY, Damien started to have unusual visions which seemed to relate on an upcoming war, that would threaten the galaxy and the Jedi once more. This brought great joy to Damien since he hasn't fought in Battles since the Yuuzhan Vong War. After Saving Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo from Tsavong Lah during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Damien worried a lot for the Solo twins, especially for Jacen who Damien saw in a vision as a future Sith Lord. Damien also sensed future deaths of the most known Jedi in galaxy, as such were Mara Jade Skywalker. Damien had hoped that these visions would not occur, but he knew that it wasn't for him to decide, for it was the will of the Force, and choices others make. Nevertheless, Damien and his friends prepared themselves for the new war.

The Dark Shadow (40 ABY)
After Jacen fully embraced the dark side, Damien's visions of the shadow person became worse and he knew it had something to do with Jacen. Luke began to worry about Ben's safety and completely distrusted Jacen. As he continued to watch Jacen, Damien and Luke decided that Ben would have to be taken away from Jacen and be given a new master. Mara, however, believed that Jacen was perfect for Ben and that Luke should trust Jacen, because he opened Ben to the Force when they couldn't. To make matters worse, Ben joined the Galactic Alliance Guard, much to Luke's and the other Jedi Masters' dismay. As a test, Jacen brought Lumiya before Damien and Luke in order to find her true intentions. Unbeknownst to Jacen, Damien and Luke eventually did sense Lumiya and believed her to be the dark figure in his dreams. In a discussion between Damien, Luke, and his niece Jaina after her suspension from duty, it became painfully obvious to both of them that Jacen was falling to the dark side and Jaina suggested that Ben be removed from Jacen's tutelage.

Battle of Gilatter VIII The battle between Damien Knights and Lumiya with Leia fighting Alema Rar As the war continued, Luke requested his son Ben to duel him. This was a test for Ben to force Luke to activate his lightsaber, which later was shown to have no power cell. Luke wanted to discover if Ben was becoming corrupted toward the dark side by Jacen, but couldn't find any evidence. Worried about Lumiya's interest in their son, Luke and Mara decided to look for her, hoping to stop her before she inflicted serious damage. On their search, they were summoned by detectives to look at Tresina Lobi's corpse in Fellowship Plaza, whom Luke had told to follow Ben and Jacen. At the crime scene, they found a holocube that eventually brought them to Lumiya's apartment. In the apartment, Mara and Luke found evidence that linked Lumiya to the killing of Bothans. Distraught at their findings, Mara decided that Ben had to be taken away from Jacen.

Damien, Luke, and Mara then journeyed to Hapes, trying to retrieve Ben from the Anakin Solo to keep him away from Jacen. Finding him gone, Damien, Luke, and Mara did meet with Tenel Ka and Jacen, and were given a rendezvous point to meet with their son. After landing at the rendezvous point where Jacen had said Ben would meet them, Damien, Luke, and Mara were attacked by Lumiya and Alema Rar. While Damien dealt with Lumiya, Luke and Mara dueled Alema Rar when she nearly killed Mara with a dart. In the duel, Luke was severely injured while fighting Alema Rar, but Mara defeated Alema, knocking her unconscious, where she discovered the bomb attached to Alema. Returning to see Luke shoot Lumiya five times, Mara informed Damien and Luke of the bomb and pulled them to safety. Luke and Mara saw this as a trap orchestrated by Jacen and all became concerned about their and Ben's safety and seriously considered that Jacen was falling to the dark side and possibly becoming a Sith Lord. Their fear and suspicions deepened after Jacen opened fire with the Anakin Solo's turbolasers upon his own parents. Meeting up with the family, except Han and Leia, Jacen allowed Damien to take Ben away to be cautious. Damien, Luke, Mara, and Ben then returned to Coruscant.

Damien, Luke, and Mara eventually held a meeting with Jagged Fel at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Shortly before the meeting ended, Fel entrusted Luke with a special device which was essential to the capture of Alema Rar. During a Council meeting the possibility of exiling Leia from the Order, something Luke refused to do, also during the meeting Luke asked all the members of the Council to make a list of senior Jedi Knights they thought deserved to be elevated to the rank of Jedi Master, a request that all members of the Council agreed to. In addition, Damien continued to search for Lumiya's lair. Damien would later learn of Lumiya's survival from their duel on Roqoo Depot and confronted her again. Lumiya offered to surrender to him, but Luke was skeptical. Finally, Lumiya just deactivated her whip and offered to Luke that he could kill her at any time that he wanted, though he did not do so. Their confrontation was interrupted by the crashing of a freighter into the station they were on.

Lumiya (40 ABY)
Luke suffered many losses over the years, but the greatest was surely the death of his wife, a death with grievances unmatched since Anakin Solo's heroic self-sacrifice. Believing Lumiya to be responsible, Damien fought the Sith Lady, decapitating her in one glorious final duel on Terephon. However, the true murderer was someone Luke would have never expected—his own nephew, Jacen Solo, now the Sith Lord Darth Caedus. Damien, however, was unaware of this and though the evidence absolved Lumiya, the Master of the Order turned toward Alema Rar as the likely culprit. Damien was present at the funeral of Mara Jade Skywalker, where Leia Organa Solo was to eulogize her fallen sister-in-law. However, Leia was delayed by a squad of GAG troopers that Jacen had sent to detain them. Instead, Saba Sebatyne delivered the eulogy, using points of Mara's history to verbally sting Jacen Solo, who had arrived late. Jacen tried to make up with Luke, and Luke was somewhat willing to reconcile with his errant nephew, even committing the Jedi to the Battle of Kuat in their StealthXs.

Forced into exile (43 ABY-140 ABY)
In the year of 43 ABY, Damien's suspicions on what many planned to do to the Jedi came true. After witnessing Luke Skywalker's trail  from afar, Damien went into hiding with certain members of the Jedi Order, although it would not last. Two months after the trial, Damien and his family were arrested, for treason against the New Republic in 18 ABY, which Damien claimed were false accusations. However, wanting to avoid another trail, and a costly one, Chief of State Natasi Daala ordered forced the Knights family into exile, and they had no other choice. Accepting their exile, Damien would venture with his family and some apprentices who joined him, including Kyle Katarnl, who was now a Jedi Master, to Chandrila where they will live for the rest of their lives.


 * "Out of all the dastradly things that the Republic has done throughout history, this was the worst mistake that they have ever made. No matter, if they don't need us, then we don't need them."
 * —Damien to several Jedi Masters, Knights, and Padawans

Return to Chandrila (43 ABY)

 * "The Republic does surprise me in a way. Although, not much, for most of their plans and desires are easy to see, and are very clear. After this moment, I think I will go visit an old freind, one whom I haven't seen in a long time. His name is Jūshirō, an ancient member of my family.
 * —Damien to his family and some apprentices

After being forced into exile by  Natasi Daala  who was  Chief of State  of the  Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, alongside with his Jedi companions and family, Damien traveled to the planet of Chandrila , where he met his old time friend and ally  Jūshirō , one whom he hasn't seen in almost 60 years.

Rise of Darth Kryat (130 ABY)
In 130 ABY, Damien was meditating alongside his wife, son, and grandfather, where they all ended up seeing a vision of  Darth Krayt , where they saw what was happening to the galaxy. Through these visions, they all questioned whether or not they should fight, but decided not to, but were drawn after groups of several Sith Acolytes serving the Sith Lord began hunting them, leading to a five-year battle with numerous acolytes, that resulted in the deaths of several Jedi Padawans and Knights from Chandrila, who had decided to aid the Knights Family.

Death (140 ABY)

 * "Dear Matthew, I am sorry that I couldn't say good bye properly. My time has now come. Take good care and watch over our family as I both did to you and your mother. I depart now, and hope to see you again. Remember, I may join your mother now, but we will always watch over you, just like she promised years ago. With love: Your father, Damien Knights. Also say goodbye to Jūshirō for me."
 * —Damien leaving a farewell note to his son also known as his successor, minutes before his death

<p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">After the fall of Darth Krayt's rule and dominance of his empire, Damien, his grandfather, son, and few Jedi companions, like Kyle, all went into exile for the final time. Stationing themselves on Chandrila, Damien would serve his grandfather and friend  Jūshirō Knights  alongside his family and friends. Through his two remaining years they fought against several enemies, and other Sith empires who seeked to kill and destroy his grandfather. These plans failed since Damien led his armies successfully. Years of peace and wars would mark Damien's legacy as one of the greatest Jedi in history. History remembered him as the best and one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi Masters in galactic history, which was said similarly to Yoda, which went on to be the same for his wife Korrah Naberrie Knights and his grandfather,  Jūshirō Knights, while his son, Matthew Knights was seen as one of the most reowned, powerful and legendary Jedi Knights in history. Later on in 140 ABY, Damien passed away in his sleep. His death brought a big deal of sadness to  Jūshirō  and the Jedi living on the planet, which included the new headquarters of the Jedi Order and Jedi High Council. Given a Jedi funeral, Damien became one with  the Force, but denied it's will, and became  Force ghosts  and joined his friends and family in the  Netherworld of the Force. Many of his friends were from the Clone Wars, and time after it. Reuniting with his wife, Korrah remarked on how she prayed for the day they would reunite, as he said the same. Even after their death, they still visited their son, and Jedi friends. Following his death, Damien's rank of Monarch of the Knights Family was passed on to his son.


 * "To my dear son, Matthew. I have lived my life as best I could, keeping myself strong within the light and that of the Jedi way. I know you will be a great leader to our family. Your Mother and I both leave you with great fondness in our hearts. I know you will continue take care of your Great-Grandfather in leading our family. To you, I leave you my Dahgee lightsabers, the blades passed down in my family for more than five hundred years. Lock them away in the deepest part of your castle in the chest I have given you. Time will come when they will be used again, and I trust you in that. Until now, lock them away and make sure you are the only one who knows it. Until we meet again, your father and watcher....Damien Knights."
 * —A message left by Damien to Matthew shortly after his death.

Legacy

 * "A great Jedi Master. There will never be another one like him. A good man, and honorable Jedi. That the type of Jedi my father was, as was my mom.
 * —Matthew Knights to several members of the Knights family, and several other Jedi

Damien left a strong legacy following his death, to which he would be marked as a legend. Marked as one of the most powerful Jedi Masters in history, Damien became the most known and prominent Jedi in galactic history, alongside many members of his family, and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Known for his legendary tactics on the field, and skills with both the lightsaber and the Force and in unarmed combat, he became a giant influence for later Jedi, even while he was living. Damien proved to be one who wasn't willing to give up, which many of his apprentices would adopt as a personality. In life, Damien began a legacy, prior to the start of the Yuuzhan Vong War, to which his reputation as a Jedi expanded to the Yuuzhan Vong spieces themselves, who hoped to lure him on their side.

By the year of 101 ABY, Damien was seen as one of the most legendary Jedi to have ever lived, as the most popular. As several years passed, and more people were into the Knights family. Damien's family became his legacy as they seeked to continue what he had left in the galaxy.

Damien's blades were wielded by his ancestor Dransten Knights, who descended from his older ancestor A'denn Knights. Damien's twin Dahgee Jedi lightsabers were put in a safe, along with his wife Korrah's lightsabers, which was located deep within the castle walls of House of Knights. The blades were set as to never be used again, for over the years the energy life force of both Damien and Korrah became embedded into their blades, thus were the only one's who could initially use and wield them, besides other Knights family members, however it is unknown if other Knights family members had possession of the blades. However, due to the immense power of the two Jedi, the blades became difficult to wield, which set the reason as to why the four blades of both Jedi Masters were to remain locked forever. Matthew, holds the blades in high regard as a memory to his parents.

Around one hundred years after his death, a statue was erected in his memory, along with Korrah. Their son was still alive at this time, but had long since retired from the front lines as general, yet stayed to teach others the Jedi way. Unlike the death of his parents, Matthew died during a dinner feast with Jūshirō Knights and other Jedi, celebrating Damien and Korrah's life, which marked their 290th birthday (Damien), and 288th birthday (Korrah). Matthew's death was first a mystery, but a doctor examined the dead Jedi and revealed that he had died of a heart attack, due to the amount of stress he had in his life as a Jedi, fighting wars, starting a family, and taking his father's role as the Monarch of the Knights Family. He was then able to join his parents in the Netherworld of the Force. A few years later, Jūshirō Knights died, and joined his family in the Netherworld. Damien's legacy ended up making him a legend a century after his death. Also, Damien was remembered for having the most powerful legacy and family in history. Surprisingly, even Sith Lord's paid homeage to Damien, one of which left the Jedi shocked. Several Sith Lords who succeeded Darth Kryat in the following years showed respect for the late Jedi Master, including Sith Acolytes who worshiped his Sith ancestors as deities, something that not only bothered the Jedi ancestors, but Knights family Sith ancestors as well. Even later family members who decided to serve the dark side held Damien in high regard, and showed respect towards their ancestor.

While Damien's family lived on, he frequently visits with the Sith spirits of his ancestors, and while the talks were never violent, Damien found himself at odds with them, yet eventually, he thanked them nevertheless for constructing his family.

Even after death, Damien frequently appeared to Matthew and Jūshirō Knights, aiding them in their time of need, such as providing advice, and war strategies. He even visited his descendants who had decided to embrace the dark side of the Force that dwelled within their bodies, and while he neither pleaded, or asked them to join the light side, Damien only demanded that they not tarnish the Knights family name, for if they did, their own family would hunt them down and kill them, and such Sith descendants listened to their ancestor, holding him in high regard and respect.

Powers & Abilities

 * Advanced Regeneration: One of Damien's most remarkable abilities was that he could rapidly regenerate. In other words, he could recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs, and limbs. Because the cells and telomere lengths are constantly regenerating and rejuvenating, he aged very slowly, recovered damaged body parts, and sustenance intake required was drastically reduced, to the point where he was close to true immortality. Even complex parts such as damaged brain cells and nerves could be repaired, effectively keeping his mind intact and making decapitation more difficult as he could simply reattach his heads to the neck, sealing the cut. Damien was practically immune to drugs, infections, diseases, and all harmful foreign substances, and was always in optimal health and physical prime. He was immune to telepathic attacks, since the regenerative power restores brain cells to its unaltered state, blocking his mind from any attacks or invasive attempts.
 * Combat Sense: Damien possessed a unique ability called Combat Sense, which allowed him to sense any targets' energy signature. Darth Vader stated that his sensory abilities were unlike any other. Using this ability, Damien, could detect the presence of others, easily discern how many and if a specific individual, even its species, is present from great distance, letting him easily track the target. He could determine the size of a target's energy reserve and potency, and even tell when someone was lying through the dishonest emotions causing energy fluctuations and he can tell if someone is trapped in an illusion, including himself. Similarly, he can conceal his own energy from others. Additionally, from a single glance at his opponent, Damien could immediately determine how powerful his opponent is. He could comprehend the flow and concentration of the person's energy.
 * Emerald Lightning Manipulation: Damien had a natural affinity for Lightning. He could produce and manipulate lightning and electricity at his will, having complete control over its manifestation. Through its use, Damien could not only generate lightning from his body, but also make it appear from almost anywhere to strike his opponents, taking them by surprise. By generating electricity on different parts of his body, he was capable of making his attacks in melee deadlier. He proved able to utilize Force lightning in many unique ways, able to target multiple foes with overwhelming barrages. He also used lightning in a more tactical manner, charging up or shorting out certain types of machinery. As with his telekinetic abilities, Damien's lightning even had the potential to disintegrate targets.
 * Emerald Storm Generation: By raising his lightsaber above his head, Damien could produce a bolt of lightning from the blade which extends and transforms into a dome of lightning, stationed far above his head and fastened to the ground by a large number of lightning pillars. A single pillar also reaches from the top of the dome toward the sky. It is capable of affecting weather with thunder and lightning storms, and it brings forth dark clouds to facilitate the use of its powers. Through the use of hand gestures, Damien could direct powerful lightning bolts to strike his opponents from the sky. The lightning was strong enough to annihilate a battalion.
 * Energy Absorption: One of Damien's most notable abilities was his capacity to absorb physical energy and force energy. This ability was primarily defensive in nature as he was capable of absorbing force-based techniques, thereby nullifying its effect. This technique could also take the form of a barrier around Damien's entire body, allowing him to absorb attacks from all directions. In addition to this, Damien was able to absorb energy from an individual through physical contact.
 * Enhanced Agility: While normally laid-back, Damien was an immensely agile fighter. In battle, he could effectively use the battlefield to his advantage, flipping and jumping from wall to wall to keep his opponents unsure of his attack patterns. Offensively, his agility granted him great balance and dexterity in battle, attacking his opponent from various angles with great accuracy and force.
 * Enhanced Durability: Damien received considerable physical training from his days in the Jedi Order, and is well-conditioned for battle. He can take large amounts of punishment. As resilient as Damien is, he was just as hard to damage.
 * Enhanced Endurance: Damien was a very resilient warrior. Both when out of breath from running Damien was still able to fight effectively while showing no signs of weakening. His physical strength and speed was matched by his resilience. Damien often ignored most of the injuries he sustained in battle (much like a berserker), not suffering any debilitation despite having multiple slash wounds in his body.
 * Enhanced Speed: Damien was highly skilled in the use of Speed. Though this is by no means a unique skill, as most Jedi are capable of performing it to various degrees. Due to his mastery of emerald lightning, Damien mastered this ability to the point where he could appear to be in several places at once and wipe out an entire squadron in seconds. He could easily close tremendous gaps of distance in the blink of an eye while remaining undetected, and could surprise Mace Windu, who was one of the most proficient masters in the art as well. He mastered all of the Jedi Order's speed-oriented techniques, and even created some of his own such as supplementing his abilities with Emerald Lightning to move swiftly.
 * Enhanced Strength: Damien possessed a very large degree of physical strength, simultaneously driving the heads of two Yuuzhan Vong Warriors through solid stone with just a single blow from either hand. He could punch and kick opponents with tremendous force and pick up and throw large objects with ease. On Coruscant, Damien took to tearing Yuuzhan Vong Warriors apart with his bare hands, showing incredible Force strength and resilience as he crushed armor with his fists. He was also able to send enemies that are bigger than him through several buildings with one strike, as well as send them flying hundreds of feet with heavy attacks.
 * Expert Archer: As a child Damien loved bows and arrows. As he got older he became more skilled using his bow & arrows, and gained more power and precision with his arrows. This is similar to how a marksman gains skill and hits the target more frequently. He has greatly increased his power and skill throughout his association with the Jedi Order.
 * Expert Marksman: Damien was quite skilled with a dual blasters. He could fire very precise blaster bolts while fighting more than one opponent, and can launch a continuous barrage of shots which even a Sith Swordmaster would have difficulty avoiding.
 * Force Powers: Damien's Mastery of the Force was exceedingly and immensely Powerful. He was known for his resistance to the lures of the dark side, channeling his inner darkness into his attacks to help him serve the light side of the Force. This allowed him to utilize some of the darkest powers known to either Jedi or Sith without succumbing to his aggression, such as the terrible Force Crush. Damien was known to use the Force to enhance the capabilities of his body, and as such, was able to leap to great heights and across enormous distances. He proved to show a great immense power, utilization and control of Emerald Lightning in many ways. The Jedi Master also demonstrated an affinity for using darker telekinetic powers, such as Force Grip and Force Crush, the later of which he used to severely injure the fearsome General Grievous. He could also vaporize vehicles and alike his enemies like droids. He was able to amplify his ability with Tutaminis, and redirect blaster attacks back to his enemies, as to absorb it and channel it to Force Lightning. One of his best Tutaminis abilities was absorbing lightsaber energy with his own hands and amplify it to his Force abilities unleashing a stronger wave or blast of Force Push or Force Lightning. He had a powerful offensive attack becoming one of the most powerful Force potentials in history possibly surpassing Galen Marek's clone Starkiller, and Galen Marek himself including the Dark Apprentice. He came to be one of the most powerful Jedi ever, aside from Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke Skywalker. During his exile Damien taught himself every Universal technique and they were, Art of the Small, Aing-Tii fighting-sight, Battle meditation, Breath control, Comprehend Speech, Dopplegänger, Force bellow, Force Body, Force Comprehension, Force Confusion, Force deflection  (without a lightsaber), Force Listening, Force-flash, Force Flight, Force Immunity, Force Illusion, Force meld, Force Speed, Force Pull/Push, Force Jump/Leap, Force suppression, Force Breach ( advanced version of Force Suppression), Force Throw, Force barrier, Force vision, Force Whirlwind ( variation of Force Push), Force Wave ( advanced version of Force Push), Force Repulse ( another advanced version of Force Push), Force weapon, Force Whisper, Phase, Precognition, Psychometry, Saber Barrier, Saber Throw, Sever Force, Shatterpoint, Tapas, and Telekinetic lightsaber combat. Damien also knows every ability known to the light side of the Force and they were Alter Environment, Animal friendship, Battlemind, Combustion, Crucitorn, Dark transfer ( Originally believed to only be accessible through the Dark side, but later discovered to also be accessible through the Light side), Droid Disable, Emerald Lightning, Force blinding, Force Enlightenment, Force healing, Force ghost, Force Light, Wall of light ( Can be used by the combined might of many Jedi, though the results may be catastrophic), Force Orb, Force projection, Force protection ( A power only achieved by high-rank Jedi Masters, Force protection made the bearer invulnerable to a wide range of attacks; the ultimate power in terms of defense), Force defend ( Reduced damage taken by Force powers), Force absorb ( A trained Jedi may have converted all kinds of Force attacks used against them to additional Force charge. As the energy used to perform Force-related powers was limited, a Jedi could use the enemy's attacks to their own benefit, instead of receiving damage from them), Protection bubble ( With this Force power, the user could create a defensive sphere around the body, which would protect him from a wide range of attacks, deflect laser blasts, and inflict a certain amount of damage upon contact with the enemy), Force Stun, Force Stasis ( advanced version of Force Stun), Force Stasis Field ( the most advanced version of Force Stun), Force valor, Hibernation trance, Levitation ( Not restricted to Jedi usage), Mind Trick  (Also known as Affect Mind), Force Persuasion ( Less powerful than the Mind Trick), Malacia, Morichro, Plant Surge, Ray, and Revitalize. Although Damien carried light side powers he was also known to possess a few dark side powers, and uses them only in extreme circumstance such as, Deadly Sight, Force Destruction, Force drain, Force lightning  (Organic limbs & extremities required), Chain lightning ( variation of Force lightning), Force shock ( variation of Force lightning), Force storm (lightning) ( advanced version of Force lightning), Force Maelstrom, Force scream, Force Slow, Force Affliction ( variation of Force Slow), Force Plague ( advanced version of Force Slow), Force Sphere, Force storm (wormhole), Force wound, Force grip ( advanced version of Force Wound), Force choke ( variation of Force Grip), Force crush ( the most advanced version of Force Wound), Kinetite, Mechu-Deru, and Mind Control.


 * Genius Intellect: Perhaps the most astonishing trait of Damien was his intellect and natural talent. He was the most gifted prodigy the Jedi Order has had since Anakin SKywalker, entering the Jedi Academy on his first try despite his young age, graduating from the academy in a single year with the highest written and performance scores in each of his classes, joining the Galactic Republic shortly afterwards, and then becoming the youngest Jedi to ever reach the rank of Senior Jedi General. In addition to this he had remarkable combat prowess and was perceptive and gifted with great insight and understanding of situations at hand. Much of his intellect was seen in deduction of situations and combat tactics. Obi-Wan Kenobi himself acknowledged Damien's intelligence surpasses his own immense intellect. He was very insightful of other people, allowing him to see through a person's demeanor and determine what they are thinking. Also able to read well into the situation, he could seemingly predict anything well in advance. Damien was a highly capable teacher. In only five days of unorthodox training, he conditioned Kyle Katarn into an experienced fighter on par with Jedi Masters. His knowledge has led him to an innate understanding of the abilities of others and what happens when independent variables are entered into an equation.
 * Highly Perceptive Combatant: Damien was very detail-oriented when it comes to fighting. He noticed his opponent's mannerisms, and discerns the reasons behind those actions and the weaknesses and strengths of his opponent. He could look at unfamiliar attacks and figure out how they work by just viewing them once. Even Dooku was impressed by Damien's ability to understand things he has no personal experience with. This was demonstrated when he was subdued by Dooku's Force Lightning, leaving him with only his blade and sense of touch, which prompted him to let Dooku strike him simply so he could catch his opponent. He possessed sharp intuition towards incoming danger, which allowed him to repeatedly dodge Dooku's assault while still affected by his lightning.
 * Martial Artist: Although he primarily relied on swordsmanship, Damien was highly proficient with martial arts as well, being strong enough to easily keep the upper hand against Galen Marek for most of their fight, to fend off both him and Darth Vader at the same time and to strike Palpatine different times in rapid succession with him being unable to retaliate. His fighting style was an offensive, brutal and straightforward one, relying on a great variety of punches and kicks, which are shown to be both strong and fast; such moves can also be combined with techniques from his Emerald Lightning with extreme fluency to great effect: using this trademark affinity of his, Damien can create lightning orbs around his arms and legs before connecting punches and kicks, increasing their striking power in a way similar to Dooku's lightning, move around much faster, propelling himself towards his opponents, by surrounding his entire body with lightning, and empower his connecting strikes by summoning forth lightning from the sky to accompany his motions.. He has taken on deadly Sith with martial arts alone, such as when he brutally defeated Darth Maul, and was regarded by Palpatine as highly dangerous. During his confrontation with the Yuuzhan Vong, he easily tore through hundreds of opponents, disarming many and dodging attacks from multiple directions. He fought against an entire academy of acolytes and defeated them single-handedly with his martial arts alone. He took down nearly fifty Imperial Troopers with only martial arts during the Battle of Endor. He fought three Jedi Masters and four Jedi Knights at the same time with martial arts without receiving any notable damage. It made him the most capable fighter in history and one of the most questioning Jedi, due to him not relying on his force powers in the most neediest of moments. Eventually, Damien took the time to teach many rebel pilots, younger Jedi, New Republic troops, including Krismo Sodi and the Kage Warriors in martial arts.
 * Master Assassin: As a former high-ranking member of the Jedi Order, Damien possessed considerable mastery in the art of stealth combat. He had repeatedly shown impressive skill in staying hidden and unseen while maneuvering towards his target. He could completely hide his presence, remaining undetected until he intentionally reveals himself. During his battle against the umbarans, he repeatedly caught them completely off guard and effectively took advantage of it. Even the perceptive and intuitive Darth Maul was caught by surprise. He was also able to launch a successful sneak attack on Tsavong Lah, sensing when he wasn't using his amphistaff for defense.
 * Master Strategist & Tactician: With his years of experience as a teacher and warrior, along with being the Master of the entire Jedi Order, Damien was a very intelligent man. He could quickly adjust to new developments and make quick decisions accordingly. He had great tactical acumen, proven by his preparations for the battle with the Yuuzhan Vong. As noted by Tsavong Lah, Damien was very cunning, setting up a trap to kill him while Lah was focused on the Solo Twins. He was a very perceptive man, easily deducing Mace Windu was hiding knowledge on the Korunnai. His skill at battle tactics was undeniable: as a Master of the Order, he commonly sent the Jedi Masters out to engage in battle, be it to relatively small or large threats, and has done so for a number of years.


 * Master Swordsman: Damien was a master of swordsmanship, possessing lethal precision and performing brutally aggressive attacks. He could infuse his lightsaber with electricity, empowering and energizing it and allowing him to manipulate his qualities and efficiency and use electricity in various ways to attack. He had an extremely aggressive dueling style and augmented his swordplay by using Force speed, which allowed him to defeat Darth Maul and Savage Opress at once with very little effort. His lethal swordsmanship was very versatile, using impressive speed and precision behind his attacks to leave little time for enemies to react such as: Battle Droids, Riot troopers, Imperial Saber Guardsman, Sith Swordmasters, Sith Lords, Yuuzhan Vong Warriors, even Darth Vader and he proved that they were no match for him. Damien was a master of all seven forms of lightsaber combat: Form I: Shii-Cho · Form II: Makashi · Form III: Soresu · Form IV: Ataru · Form V: Shien / Djem So (including Shien-style reverse grip) · Form VI: Niman · Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad and was highly skilled in evasion, offense, defense, and counterattacks. He was impossible to to stop whenever he used Dun Möch, Sokan, Tràkata, and Trispzet. He mastered the deadly form of lightsaber combat known as Vaapad, the seventh form of lightsaber combat which completed (to the Jedi) the Juyo form. Personally he used Jar'Kai in a masterful two-bladed variant of Vaapad. Utilizing a ferocious yet fluid fighting style Damien's mastery of the lightsaber form was so great, he used it exclusively as his form of combat. A factor that played into Damien's fighting style was his admission that his greatest character flaw was his enjoyment of fighting, and given the nature of the dark side, this is a very dangerous trait for a Jedi to possess. In fact, Damien intentionally mastered Vaapad with Mace Windu to also help channel his inner darkness into something more positive.
 * Multilingual: Damien was very gifted in the ability of being able to speak in many languages like Huttese, Ithorese, Genosian, Catharese, Kreva, Twi'leki, and his native language Korrunal. Damien was also able to speak the native language of his wife Korrah Naberrie Knights which was Naboo (language). He also spoke the Kel Dor language, which was Kel Dorian and the native Aing-Tii language.
 * Poison Immunity: In addition, due to Damien being a Korun he had a higher tolerance to poisons, due to living near the toxic cloudsea that covered the lowlands of the planet.

Equipments

 * Lightsabers: Damien was a skilled duelist. Like Jedi and Sith Damien used Lightsabers in combat. He carried twin Lightsabers which are Light Green. 


 * Electro-Swords: As a gift from Krismo Sodi for sparring with him in Martial Arts Damien received a pair of Electro Swords in case he was ever unarmed of his Lightsabers.
 * Gadgets: Damien carried gadgets sometimes such as smokebombs, knock-out gas, grappling hooks, and trackers during combat. Gadgets seem useful to him but some people will never know when he'll use it.
 * R6-H5: Nicknamed Arsix, was the astromech droid of Jedi Master Kit Fisto. He accompanied his Master on many missions for the Jedi Council. He was known for being tentative, often worrying about his master, and for having a dislike of strange situations. After Order 66 Damien found R6-H5 & took him to his ship to work with Damien.


 * TC-16: Is a Silver Protocol Droid who serves as Damien's Translator & ship butler


 * Corellian Defender-class Light Corvette: Years after the destruction of the Jedi Order and Temple, Damien found the Defender and took it with him as he went into Exile.

Personality & Traits

 * "The Jedi are the protectors of peace. Sadly, those facts are no longer true. What we Jedi strived for has now been turned against us. We were unwillingly manipulated into fighting this war under orders from the now Darth Sidious, who we saw as Chancellor Palpatine. Everything we kept as a tradition, everything sacred is now shattered and tainted. We may be Jedi, but we are no longer the Jedi we thought we were.
 * —Damien Knights, shortly after Order 66

While appearing to be a laid-back individual, Damien loved fighting, and enjoyed a good battle more than anything. Much like Mace Windu, Damien was a peace loving individual who had a deep passion for fighting, loving the heat of battle and fighting strong opponents. He was a very aggressive man, having promised to kill Quinlan Vos if he falls behind in battle and rushing forward to attack Sora Bulq almost immediately after being summoned to Saleucami. In battle, he had an upbeat demeanor, even while mercilessly slaughtering his opponents, whom he casually banters with at all times. Damien strongly believed fun comes before working. In every battle, he tried to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. However, Damien has a code of honor and usually stops a fight if his opponent is too injured to fight back, and does not feel obligated to deal a death blow to anyone who cannot fight any longer.

Despite his aggression and obvious blood lust in battle, Damien was well-respected and highly honorable, and always treats those around him with respect, even those who were weaker or not as highly ranked as he is. As a result, he could be easily approached by other members of Jedi Order who seek favors or advice from the Jedi Master. Due to his high moral code, Damien would never let any harm come to either his younglings or those who attempt to protect them. He refused to give up when he believed something is wrong and will break a rule to do what is right. He was also quite perceptive, as seen when he analyzed the various disturbances caused in the New Republic, and had the ability to correctly judge people's character.

Overall, Damien strongly believed in law and order. As a Jedi Master and head of one of the greatest noble families, he worked hard for a peaceful civilization. He felt that if someone in his position does not follow the rules as a good example, no one else will. He believes that to maintain the order, all law-breakers must be punished, even if it goes against Jedi Philosophy. Damien felt that "part of a Jedi Master's responsibilities is to make sure that the Padawan's responsibilities are taken care of". In spite of his blood lust for battle, Damien cared for and protects those important to him.

Quotes

 * (To Anakin Skywalker) "You want a reason...for fighting? Why don't you just accept it already, Anakin?! You seek out fights. You desire power. Isn't that right, Anakin? Everyone who searches for power, without exception, searches for battle! Do you fight in order to become more powerful? Or do you want more power so you can fight? I can't tell you that. The only thing I know for sure is guys like us were born this way! We were born to fight, Anakin! Your instincts will keep leading you toward new battles. It's the only way you have. The only way to become stronger. Fight, Anakin! That's the road that continues in front of you and remains behind you, Anakin!"
