- "Any idea why they sent you?"
"The Supreme Chancellor thinks you're wasted out here, beyond that, I don't know. My guess is that you're in for a promotion. Whole war is changing." - ―Jace Malcom asks the Jedi Knight why he was chosen to recall him
A male Jedi Knight served the Jedi Order during the Cold War and the Galactic War. In 3640 BBY, he was sent by Republic Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh to recall Colonel Jace Malcom from the front lines of the planet Kalandis Seven and bring him to the Core Worlds. The Jedi Knight fought through half a dozen blockades to arrive at Kalandis Seven. After the Knight left the planet with his passenger, they conversed about why Malcom had been recalled and the possible future of the battle on Kalandis Seven.
Biography[]
A male individual was part of the Jedi Order during the Cold War, and by the time of the Galactic War he had achieved the rank of Jedi Knight.[1] In 3640 BBY,[2] sometime after the Battle of Corellia, he was personally selected by Galactic Republic Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh to recall Republic Special Forces Division Colonel Jace Malcom from the front lines of the planet Kalandis Seven and transport him to the Core Worlds. He was then given the starship Frontier Justice and had to fight through half a dozen blockades to arrive on schedule.[1]
After he collected Malcom, the Jedi Knight proceeded to bring the Colonel to Coruscant, the Republic capital planet. During the flight, the Colonel asked the Knight why he had been recalled, to which the Knight replied that he had no idea and ventured a guess that Malcom was being promoted. They discussed the situation on Kalandis Seven, of which Malcom was sure that the Republic forces would be unable to hold the planet, and the Jedi responded by saying that Malcom did not know what would happen.[1]
Personality and traits[]
The Jedi Knight was gifted in mechanics, as evidenced when he repaired the engineering console of his ship. He was also patient and did not care about others' looks.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Jedi Knight was first mentioned in The Essential Reader's Companion, written by Pablo Hidalgo and published in 2012.[3] The Knight later appeared in author Alexander Freed's short story, The Last Battle of Colonel Jace Malcom, which was published in the 137th issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine[1] on October 23, 2012.[4] Alexander Freed thought of establishing the Knight as a character from Star Wars: The Old Republic, which was released on December 20, 2011, when he was creating the character, but in the end chose not to.[5]

Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia date the finales of Star Wars: The Old Republic's class storylines in 3640 BBY, and place the subsequent Battle of Ilum at the end of that same year. As The Last Battle of Colonel Jace Malcom takes place between the Battle of Corellia and the Battle of Ilum, it must occur in 3640 BBY.

Alexander Freed (@AlexanderMFreed) on Twitter: "Q: 'Did you ever have a name/species chosen for the Jedi Knight that collects Malcom in the Last Battle of Colonel Jace Malcom?' A: 'I did not. (I thought about establishing him as someone from the game, but chose not to. His identity remains ambiguous!)'" (screenshot)
