Legend

a Jedi Knight, Kam was the son of a Jedi slain by Darth Vader. He spent nearly thirty years hiding from the Empire in the most remote parts of the galaxy. When his whereabouts were discovered by a group of Dark Jedi, he was tortured and forced to embrace the Dark Side of the Force. The reborn Emperor used him as one of his personal Dark Side Elite on Byss. When Luke Skywalker first met him on Nespis VIII, Luke sensed his strength in the Force behind the Dark Side facade, and challenged Kam to a game of Lightsider. Luke won, and convinced Kam to return to the Light Side. Kam eventually returned to Luke, joining the Jedi candidates on Yavin 4. He became one of Luke's most gifted apprentices, and became a full Jedi Knight several years after the death of Palpatine's clones. Kam fell in love with Tionne, and the two were married shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. They acted as the administrators of the Yavin 4 facility for many years, and Kam himself presided over a solemn Jedi wedding for Luke and Mara Jade, before the pair were wedded in a public ceremony on Coruscant. Kam and Tionne served Luke as the wards of the youngest Jedi trainees during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, spiriting the children away from Yavin 4 aboard the Errant Venture and eventually settling them into a new home at the Maw Installation. Ultimately, Kam and Tionne were among the handful of Jedi Knights to survive the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. It was Kam's suggestion to Luke that the Jedi Knights return to the planet Ossus to rebuild their new Jedi Order, an idea that Luke eventually agreed to.
