Legend

this Mon Calamari was a Jedi Knight who worked as an investigator during the last years of the Old Republic. Ambaln's primary job was to locate potential Jedi students and assess their capabilities. Any candidate who met the strict guidelines of the Jedi Order were brought to Coruscant for training. He also worked undercover on several occasions to help track down criminals and other miscreants. Just before he was dispatched to locate a potential Padawan on the planet Lobaoc, Ambaln spent considerable time undercover in a criminal syndicate. His experiences there tainted his connection to the Force, bringing him into contact with the Dark Side of the Force. He secretly desired to start his own "Jedi Order", based on his newfound connection to the Force. Ambaln took the assignment to locate a young girl on Lobaoc, but planned to turn the child to the Dark Side as the first of his own students. Ambaln planned to sacrifice his loyal assistant droid, Z-N0, as part of a trap to throw off the Jedi team which was dispatched to Lobaoc to stop him. While the Jedi team managed to intercept him, Ambaln was able to escape into the watery depths of Lobaoc, taking the small girl candidate with him. They fled the planet aboard Ambaln's whitecloak fighter, and were never heard from again.
