[edit] Biography
- "I strived many years to hone my power until I was able to drive out my predecessor and rule the academy."
- ―Uthar Wynn[src]
Uthar Wynn studied at the Sith Academy under Academy headmaster, Jorak Uln, who had served under Exar Kun. As was tradition where the strong would rule over the weak, Uthar eventually drove his master out into the Valley of the Dark Lords where Jorak would remain, studying inside one of the tombs. Uthar quickly took over the Academy himself and took an apprentice, a Twi'lek by the name of Yuthura Ban. He devoted his attention to running the academy itself and put Yuthura in charge of selecting the strongest hopefuls for academy training.
At some point Dustil Onasi, convinced by a friend of his called Selene, was brought to the academy. While in training, Dustil developed a relationship with Selene, who was also a student at the academy. However, Selene was not as promising as Dustil. This distressed Master Uthar, who felt that such an emotional entanglement would hinder Dustil's progress. The conniving Sith Master secretly had the young woman murdered, and then lied to Dustil about the occurrence, saying she had died on a mission in the valley.
Near the end of the of Jedi Civil War Yuthura was plotting to take control of the academy. However, Uthar began to notice Yuthura's ambitions to take his place as head of the Academy, and had plans to have her removed. Soon, the mind-wiped Revan came to Korriban, in his search for the Star Maps. Revan managed to gain entry into the Academy and was brought before Master Uthar. Uthar immediately recognized the "dark kernel" inside Revan's heart from Revan's amnesiac days as the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Revan would help Carth Onasi find and convince his son, Dustil, the truth about the Sith, causing Dustil to abandon his beliefs and leave the Academy.
Revan had gained more prestige over his opponents, despite doing actions that a Jedi would do, and managed to impress Uthar enough. He and Yuthura, Revan's "trainer" at the Academy, took Revan to the tomb of Naga Sadow where he passed his final test of discovering the Star Map and bringing back a Sith lightsaber.
Uthar was prepared to finally deal with his renegade apprentice by pitting Yuthura against Revan. Unfortunately for Uthar, Revan had befriended Yuthura and helped her kill him. As she quickly became the new Headmaster of the Academy, Yuthura had larger ambitions though and turned on Revan soon after Uthar's death. Revan managed to defeat her. However, her life was spared and, through her history of slavery and being a former Jedi, Revan returned her to the light. Yuthura forsaken the dark side and began to search for the Jedi.
Due to Uthar's death and Yuthura's redemption, the Sith Academy was thrown into civil war.
[edit] Personality and traits
Uthar was bald and his head was adorned with tattoos, presumably of Sith design.
Uthar Wynn had certain traits that were typical of the Sith: he had an intolerance of failure and believed that those who couldn't defeat their opponents deserved their fate. He would also remove elements of doubts and was not afraid to have some of his students, such as Selene, killed if it would allow other students to progress further without delay. He admired acts of betrayal and deception, but not when he is on the receiving end.
His eyes were sickly yellow; a testament to his power with the dark side.
He had an eerily calm demeanor for a Sith. It seemed as though nothing could shake him, though he could simply be hiding his true emotions. When betrayed by his enemies it is then he would bring out his full rage.
Even though it was said that mentioning Jorak Uln near Uthar Wynn was not a good idea, he actually no longer cared about his old master's fate.
He was also gullible to deception, when Revan lied him that the Renegade students were dead, or that the Rogue assassin droid was destroyed despite both actually escaping Korriban, Uthar believed him.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Uthar Wynn was voiced by Tom Kane.
If the player rummages through Uthar's possessions in his room, they can find a Jedi Master Robe. This has led some to speculate that he may in fact have once been a Jedi Master, or have killed at least one.
There are many choices for the player to make in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic regarding Uthar's fate. The most extreme light side is outline above, with the other options detailed below.
[edit] Options
Revan informed Uthar about Yuthura's plans to betray him. Uthar told Revan to hand over a datapad to a Adrenas who would poison the water in Yuthura's bath, giving way for ease to kill Yuthura in the final trial.
Revan could then tell Yuthura about Uthar's plans to fight her in the final trial. Yuthura would then tell Revan to poison Uthar's bed and provides him with the poison and access to his room for this task.
[edit] Light side choices
Revan sided with Yuthura after befriending her during his short time in the academy, and together they kill Uthar. After Uthar's death, Yuthura said that she would not share power with anyone, even her new friend, and tried to strike down Revan, who proved too strong for her to defeat. Revan persuaded Yuthura that embracing her anger and hate was not what she needed, and made her realize that what she needed after a life of slavery was simply inner peace—just what the Jedi tried to give her in the first place. If Korriban isn't the fourth planet visited, she could be found outside the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. (This choice is considered canon)
Revan disagreed and sided with Yuthura to kill Uthar. Once done, Yuthura fought Revan, desperate for power. However, Revan was too powerful and managed to injure her. She pleaded for mercy and Revan spared her life. Revan allowed her to leave unharmed, and she took up mastery of the Academy.
Revan didn't ally with anyone. After passing the test, he said he would not co-operate with anyone, only "with himself," being no Sith. The two masters attacked him, and were both defeated.
[edit] Dark side choices
Revan agrees with Uthar and attacks Yuthura. Revan then allows Uthar to live and lead the Academy.
Revan disagreed with Uthar and attacked and killed him with Yuthura's help. Yuthura then attacked Revan due to her lust for power. Once at Revan's mercy, Yuthura pleaded for mercy. Revan apologized to her, before slaying her as well.
Revan chose to help neither Uthar nor Yuthura, and claimed he was the only "true Sith" of the three. He killed them both (they may or may not have been poisoned.)
[edit] Other options
Revan can kill Yuthura for Uthar, and then tell the truth about why he sought the Star Map, and he wasn't intending to become a Sith. Uthar instantly becomes enraged and attacks Revan, saying he'll "tear the flesh from his bones." Uthar will also attack if Revan didn't tell him that Yuthura was plotting to kill him.
If Korriban is played last, and with dark side personality, after the battle, Revan may tell Uthar that he is the Dark Lord of the Sith—at which point Uthar recognizes his true master, and secretly devotes his allegiance and the Academy to Revan.
There are several other paths that can be chosen besides the ones above. If both Yuthura and Uthar are killed (or if Uthar is killed and Yuthura redeemed), the remaining persons of the Academy turn on Revan.
