Atton Rand

Atton Rand is a character from Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. He is voiced by Nicky Katt.

Atton Rand, nicknamed "Jaq", was a pilot native to the planet Alderaan and one of the Lost Jedi who helped Meetra Surik defeat the Sith Triumvirate. He joined the Galactic Republic military and fought loyally under Revan in the Mandalorian Wars. He defected to Revan's side when the Jedi Knight became the Dark Lord of the Sith. While under Revan, he was put through intense combat training to make him an effective Jedi hunter, assigned the task of capturing Jedi so that Revan and his acolytes could attempt to convert them into loyal Sith. However, when a female Jedi prisoner revealed that he was Force-sensitive and that he would likely be subjected to such treatment himself, he went into hiding on Nar Shaddaa, the moon of the planet Nal Hutta.

Several years later, Rand found work in the Peragus asteroid field as a miner at the Peragus Mining Facility. Mere days after the crews brought aboard a starship with two women and a few droids aboard, the station was sabotaged. Every organic inside was killed by murderous droids, with Rand, who had been imprisoned for a security violation; the ship's would-be owner, Meetra Surik, also known as the Jedi Exile; and an old woman named Kreia as the sole exceptions. Through teamwork, the three were able to commandeer a ship, the Ebon Hawk, and escape the facility. They fled to the world of Telos IV, a planet undergoing restoration in the wake of a Sith attack from Revan's crusade. There, they met Jedi Master Atris, who tasked Surik with locating other Jedi Masters that had survived a recent Jedi purge perpetrated by a resurgent Sith organization that had virtually wiped the Jedi from the galaxy.
