Training at Yavin IV Under Master Ka'thar Gorm

At Yavin IV, Bragi absorbed the Jedi teachings with eagerness and diligence. Under Master Ka'thar Gorm’s tutelage, he honed his skills in both lightsaber combat and the deeper mysteries of the Force. The tranquil environment of the academy, with its hidden sanctuaries and ancient holocrons, provided Bragi a foundation in the Jedi way that emphasized balance, compassion, and restraint. His mentor, known for his gentle yet unyielding guidance, instilled in him the importance of upholding the Order’s values—even as the galaxy outside roiled with conflict.

The Turmoil of the Jedi Civil War

However, the stability of Yavin IV was not impervious to the ideological upheavals that swept across the galaxy during the Jedi Civil War. As ancient fissures within the Order widened, the charismatic and radical figure of Revan emerged, offering a starkly different path. It was during these turbulent times that Bragi, filled with youthful ambition and a growing disillusionment with the Order’s perceived passivity, found himself drawn to the call for drastic change.

​

In a fateful turn, Bragi aligned himself with Arel Kest—a once-trusted master whose own defection to Revan’s faction marked a profound schism within the Jedi ranks. The choice to leave the safety and teachings of Yavin IV, and to forsake the gentle wisdom of Master Ka'thar Gorm, proved to be a turning point in Bragi’s life. Convinced by Arel Kest’s impassioned rhetoric that the dark side held the key to decisive, transformative power, Bragi ventured into a realm of moral ambiguity and turbulent conflict.

The Tragic Downfall

The journey Bragi embarked upon was fraught with peril. As he joined the forces rallying behind Revan, the ideals that had once guided his training were slowly eclipsed by the seductive lure of raw power. The chaotic battlefields of the Jedi Civil War—where friends turned against one another and the lines between light and dark blurred—proved too great a challenge for his fragile spirit. In the ensuing strife, Bragi Pacoe, still a Padawan and not yet matured into the full mantle of a Jedi Knight, met a tragic end. His life was extinguished amid fierce combat, a casualty of the ideological maelstrom that had consumed many promising souls.

Legacy and Lessons

Bragi Pacoe’s fall became a cautionary tale within the Jedi Archives—a stark reminder of the dangers inherent in straying from the balanced path. His betrayal of the teachings he had so diligently embraced at Yavin IV, under the guidance of Master Ka'thar Gorm, and his subsequent alignment with Arel Kest and Revan, serve as enduring warnings. Historians and mentors alike recount his story as one of youthful ambition undone by the seductive promise of radical change—a narrative that continues to inspire reflection on the importance of balance, restraint, and the preservation of light.

​

Though his brief life was marred by tragic choices, Bragi’s legacy endures as a somber chapter in the saga of the Jedi Order. His story, recorded in the annals of our history, reminds us that the path of the Force is delicate and that every choice bears the weight of potential redemption—or ruin.
