BiografiaEditar

Infância e CorrupçãoEditar

Desann veio de um planeta onde a Força era uma coisa estranha e pouco familiar. Por ser diferente, ele teve que fugir de seu próprio povo e viveu uma vida de solidão e desespero, até que um comerciante o achou e o levou para o Praxeum Jedi de Luke Skywalker em Yavin 4.

Desann então se tornou aprendiz de Skywalker, mas começou a maltratar e oprimir seus companheiros. Até que, eventualmente, ele matou Havet Storm, um de seus colegas Jedi, por fazer frente às suas atitudes bully e afirmou que ele era muito fraco para ser um Jedi. Ele então se corrompeu, indo para lado negro, e abandonou a Academia antes que Skywalker pudesse guiá-lo de volta a luz.

Vida após corrupçãoEditar

Após abandonar a Academia e sua vida como um Jedi para trás Desann forjou uma aliança com o Almirante Galak Fyarr que trabalhava para o Império Reborn, uma das facções dos Remanescentes Imperiais, que o levou para o ex-Procurador de Justiça Lorde Hethrir. Após conhecer Desann, Hethir superou sua xenofobia e fez Desann o segundo em comando, e fez com que ele treinasse vários membros da Juventude Imperial de Hethrir: invíduos sentivos a Força que mostraram lealdade ao Império e foram purificados pelo ser extra dimensional Waru. Desann pegou Tavion Axmis, uma membra da Juventude, como sua aprendiz.

In addition to training those with talent, Desann experimented with imbuing Force-weak Human Empire Youths (chosen by Hethrir for reasons of racial dogma rather than pragmatism) with dark side powers, using Artusian crystals and Sith alchemical secrets. To fulfill this twisted scheme, his forces captured Artus Prime, where the crystals were mined. New Republic agents Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors were sent by Mon Mothma to investigate, and Jan Ors was captured. Desann decided to use her to his advantage: he had long searched for the Valley of the Jedi, for the Valley's power would be of considerable help in his plan to connect his servants with the dark side of the Force. But only Katarn and Jan Ors knew of the Valley's location. When Kyle attempted to rescue his partner Desann intervened and easily beat Kyle by using only the Force and Katarn found himself on the receiving end of a Force Grip. Desann then ordered Tavion to kill her. Unbeknownst to Katarn, this was but a ruse to anger him and have him go to the Valley, and Jan Ors was retained aboard the Remnant flagship, the Doomgiver.

Thinking that his partner was dead, Kyle thirsted for revenge and in consequence traveled to the Valley of the Jedi, to regain his connection to the Force; but Desann was tracking him. The Dark Jedi brought his band of Empire Youth students with him to absorb the Valley's power, forming an army of dark warriors called the Reborn. He also took with him a small proportion of his stormtroopers, and they became shadowtroopers, Force-sensitive soldiers armed with lightsabers and encased in cortosis armor enhanced by Artusian crystals. Desann and Kyle Katarn engaged in battle in Yavin 4 underground. Desann and Kyle Katarn engaged in battle in Yavin 4 underground.

After receiving the Valley's coordinates from Katarn, Luke Skywalker went to investigate the site. With the help of Rogue Squadron, the New Republic chased Desann's forces away from the Valley. Desann fled to the Cairn Installation in the Lenico Belt, where the Doomgiver docked. Katarn and Skywalker then infiltrated the installation, when Kyle broke into Doomgiver's bridge, Desann launched a surprise attack against Skywalker. Luke dueled his former student in the docking bay, but was Force Pushed to a vulnerable position and trapped by a pile of rubble unleashed by Desann's saber throw. Luke was uninjured, but Desann managed to board the Doomgiver and launch the ship to his ultimate target.

Desann then attacked the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. Despite Rogue Squadron's interference, Desann safely landed with most of his forces, and the army advanced on the Academy from three different directions. Desann and a small group of his minions fought into the heart of the Academy, leaving his subordinates to deal with New Republic troops and Jedi, the Dark Jedi Master entered the tunnels under the Great Temple, seeking the Force nexus underground. Kyle Katarn followed closely, and Desann employed various traps and illusions to evade the Jedi.

Eventually Desann successfully absorbed the power in the Force nexus before being confronted by Katarn. Declaring a new future for the galaxy, Desann was surprised to find out that Katarn helped destroy the Doomgiver and most of the forces aboard, including Galak Fyyar. When Katarn revealed that even the elite shadowtroopers fell victim to the Academy's true Jedi, Desann realized he had underestimated Kyle. Desann tried to convert Katarn to his cause, but instead received a counter offer: Kyle invited Desann back to the Jedi. Enraged, Desann engaged Katarn in a duel, which ended with the Dark Jedi's death.

Poderes e habilidadesEditar

Desann tipicamente lutou com uma forma agressiva e poderosa de uma mão, uma variação do Estilo Forte, aproveitando de sua força naturalmente superior e alcance devido ao seu grande tamanho. Também era muito habilodoso nás tecnicas Aperto da Força, Relâmpago da Força, Truque da Mente Jedi, Ilusão da Força, as well as at telekinetically hurling his lightsaber. One major combat advantage the Dark Jedi had was the size of his lightsaber itself. It's size was meant to fit the physical height and size of Desann, but its length and beam width made it a very difficult blade to block due to it's incredible reach.

Nos BastidoresEditar

Desann foi dublado por Mark Klastorin.

In Jedi Outcast, when Desann dueled with Luke Skywalker in Cairn Installation, their fighting moves before landing on the main floor are randomized, thus the player could watch a unique fighting scene for each loading.

In Jedi Outcast, Jan Ors revealed that hours after her capture, Desann changed the interrogation topic from the location of the Valley to the layout of the Jedi Academy. However, as a former student of the Academy, Desann should know the layout far better than a New Republic intelligence operative.

In the sequel to Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, players can choose to play as Desann in the game's multiplayer mode. In the PC version of both games, players can also spawn him (and afterwards fight him) in the game's single player mode using the cheat: npc spawn desann.

During the first (and impossible to win) fight with Desann in Jedi Outcast, he uses the Force noticeably faster than he does later, often simultaneously. His Force powers are also stronger, most noticeably Push, Pull, and Grip. His Force Push and Pull are capable of throwing the player outside the level with the right positioning. He is also immune to Force lightning and cannot be Force Gripped—he pushes the player away every time.
