[edit] Biography

Though Kirlocca was young when he came to Almas, he was older than any other student at the academy up to that time, but he was so strong in the Force that Almas headmaster Nerra Ziveri accepted him promptly. He had the distinction of being the last student that Ziveri accepted to the academy before leaving on an unknown mission. Kirlocca was very grateful for Ziveri's trust.^[1]

The reflexes and strength of a Wookiee combined with his mastery of the Force made him an extraordinary combatant. Kirlocca had a ferocity that came out when he fought, but he would not give in to his people's fighting rage, that he thought was too close to the dark side, nor did he give out war cries in battle, fighting instead in an eerie silence.^[1] Watching Kirlocca's fighting had been described as being "like watching water flow over the falls."

Kirlocca was kind-hearted and wise, but felt the best way to impart what he knew was through martial training, helping the younger to direct their energies through fencing. In addition to lightsaber instruction, some of Kirlocca's other duties including helping with basic Force exercises and overseeing aspects of the Jedi Trials. Kirlocca often answered students questions with simple but baffling answers, and was determined to kill whomever he considered was violating the will of the Force.^[1]

At some point, he dismissed Raik Muun from the Academy, for falling in love with another student.^[2]

Kirlocca was attending a peace conference with a number of other Jedi when Raik Muun attempted to use two T'salaks to turn the Jedi mediators into crazed killers, so as to discredit the Order.^[2] Her plan failed, but Master Kirlocca was killed by the t'salaks and Raik managed to escape.

After he was killed, his position on the Almas Council was filled by Devan For'deschel.
