Jedi Padawan Xanatos
Species: Human
Homeworld: Telos IV
Appears in: Jedi | Jedi Apprentice
"You destroyed everything I loved. You destroyed me that day, Qui-Gon. Yet I was reborn. Stronger, wiser. I have surpassed you."
Qui-Gon Jinn's second Padawan, Xanatos was a bright student who was frequently praised for his technical ability. On a mission to his homeworld, Xanatos betrayed Qui-Gon to his father, Governor Crion. When Qui-Gon cut down Crion in front of him, Xanatos swore revenge. He went on to fund Offworld, a mining corporation with a hand in numerous illegal concerns galaxywide, and made several attempts to get his revenge on Qui-Gon, including trying to blow up the Jedi Temple and steal the treasury. Cornered on Telos, Xanatos ultimately committed suicide rather than be captured.
- Arch-Enemy: To Qui-Gon.
- Avenging the Villain: Seeks vengeance for his equally corrupt father.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: Leaps into acid instead of letting himself be captured.
- Big Bad: He controls most of the villainy in Books 1-8.
- The Chessmaster: With such a name, how could he not be? At one point, he spends thousands if not millions of credits to help people, just as part of a greater scheme to hurt Qui-Gon.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Offworld trafficks in slaves, kills those who get in its way, buys out governments, and does more environmental damage in one day than most Captain Planet villains did in the show's entire run.
- The Corrupter: To Bruck Chun in "The Captive Temple", and later, to the entire planet of Telos in "The Day of Reckoning".
- Create Your Own Villain: Xanatos became a dark jedi after seeing Qui-Gon kill his father (although there was a lot more to it than that).
- Disney Villain Death: Jumping into a pool of acid? Yeah, definitely counts.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: He's a pale, dark-haired man with an aura of menace and long list of crimes.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His family's deaths are one of the many factors that made Xanatos leave the Order.
- Face–Heel Turn: He really did have the potential and the desire to be good, before the death of his sister and confusion about who was wrong in the conflict caused him to side with his father over Qui-Gon, with his father's death sealing their enmity.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Used his dead father's signet ring to burn a pair of crescent scars into his face. A likeness of them serves as the Offworld logo.
- Greed: A driving motivation with him. When it's not Revenge, that is.
- It's Personal: With Qui-Gon.
- Kick the Dog: Spends most of The Day of Reckoning doing this to Obi-Wan over Bruck's death.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: His death in Jedi Apprentice becomes important for Jedi Quest, because his son succeeds him as the Big Bad.
- Manipulative Bastard: He ends up being this, as he loses or at least draws every direct fight he gets into with Qui-Gon.
- The Man Behind the Man: To Deca Brun (Book 4), Bruck Chun (Book 7), and Telosian security (Book 8).
- Master Swordsman: Xanatos was known as the best duellist in his class as a padawan, having mastered aspects of several lightsaber forms and incorporating them into his personal style.
- My Greatest Failure: Tries to force Qui-Gon to accept that he is his.
- A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Qui-Gon's Padawan who turned traitor.
- Revenge: Wants some on Qui-Gon.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!/Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Indulges in a little bit of both.

- Villain with Good Publicity: In Day of Reckoning, Xanatos is loved by the people of his planet (he earns sincere cheers whenever he enters a public area) for financing a lucrative lottery that can make them rich while using the proceeds to preserve the planet's natural resources. The lottery is rigged, and he's using it to distract them while he loots the natural resources.
- Would Hit a Girl
- Would Hurt a Child
- You Killed My Father: One of the many reasons he wants Qui-Gon's head on a plate.

- Disney Villain Death: Falls off a waterfall in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. However, that isn't what kills him; it's hitting the rocks hard enough to break his neck.
- Establishing Character Moment: The first scene in the first book. After losing a training duel against Obi-Wan, he challenges him to a real duel in the corridors with no teachers, knowing that both are too tired and will just end up equally banged-up ... but then while Obi-Wan treats his injuries in his quarters, Bruck goes to the healers and says Obi-Wan attacked him unprovoked, nearly ruining his chance of being a Jedi.
- Expy: Averted. If you think there's a resemblance between him and Draco Malfoy, it's a coincidence. Jedi Apprentice actually predates the Harry Potter films by two years, and the first Harry Potter book was only two years old by the time Jedi Apprentice began, so Harry Potter wasn't well-known yet at the time for there to be a Shout-Out.
- Face–Heel Turn: He becomes Xanatos's Padawan.
- The Rival: To Obi-Wan. Siri replaces Bruck in this role later on.
- Rival Turned Evil: He lets his rage drive him to sabotage, attempted murder, and worse, all while trusting Xanatos.

Others
Jenna Zan Arbor
Jenna Zan Arbor
Species: Human
Homeworld: Ventrux
Appears in: Jedi Apprentice | Jedi Quest | Ghosts of the Sith | The Last Of The Jedi
"You are a subject of a scientific experimentation. You will not be hurt, only studied."
A renegade Mad Scientist with a passion for discovery, Jenna Zan Arbor arranged for Qui-Gon Jinn's kidnapping at the hands of Bounty Hunter, Ona Nobis, so that she might gain a better understanding of the Force. Qui-Gon's apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi rescued him and captured Arbor, though not before the scientist had both tortured Qui-Gon, and attempted to wipe out the entire world of Belasco with a genetically engineered bacterium. Escaping custody, Arbor had several run-ins with Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, before allying herself with Granta Omega in a bid to brainwash the Senate. Omega was killed, but Arbor escaped and went on to manufacture numerous weapons for first the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and then the new Galactic Empire. She was eventually mindwiped by a kidnapped scientist named Linna Naltree, and finally killed by Darth Vader for her failure.
- And I Must Scream: She was assigned to create a serum that would wipe away specific unpleasant memories, which Vader wished to use so he could forget about Padmé. When the heroes barge into her lab, during the struggle, she gets injected with the serum and ends up forgetting everything, including her identity. By the time Vader finds her, she can only vaguely remember that she used to be a brilliant scientist, once.
- Big Bad: Of Books 11-13 of Jedi Apprentice.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With Granta Omega in Jedi Quest.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Wow, so her company saved a low-tech world from a viral outbreak? She bio-engineered food for a planet that was starving from famine? She sounds like a great gal... except she started those problems in the first place so she could be featured in the spotlight.
- Depending on the Artist: Essential Reader's Guide depicts her as blonde rather than redheaded. Everything else depicts her as the latter.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Feels bad about accidentally causing the death of Uta's son with her experiments.
- Evil Redhead: Or in Essential Reader's Guide, an evil blonde, but that's not a trope here anymore.
- Evilutionary Biologist: Bacteria, viruses, chemical weaponry...
- Fate Worse than Death: Her memory is wiped, and she loses knowledge of all her experiments, and the fact that she was once a brilliant scientist. Perhaps fortunately for her, Vader executes her soon afterwards for failing to provide him the serum that was meant for him.
- It's All About Me: She expects to be rewarded and hailed as a hero for helping others.
- Jerkass Victim: No one else is too upset about her fate.
- Mad Scientist: She doesn't care who she has to kill to market or test her various weapons.
- Mercy Kill: Arguably, since the worst way for her to go out is forgetting everything she learned, Vader killing her in rage was probably something her old self would've wanted.
- Penal Colony: After she is arrested by the end of A Dangerous Rescue and her crimes had been revealed to the public, she is sentenced to life on a prison world. Nobody really feels bad for her.

A firm believer in spending money to make money, he's more than willing to put contracts on the Jedi, attack the Senate with a mind-control weapon, and plot the destruction of an entire planet through civil war, and biological weaponry.
- Icy Blue Eyes: As cold and icy as his father's.
- The Man Behind the Man: To the Bounty Hunters on Ragoon VI, the civil war on Mawan, and the eventual attack on the Senate.
- Manipulative Bastard: He got it from his father.
- The Nondescript: Omega' lack of connection to the Force enables him to go unnoticed with ease, and people tend to forget him once he leaves the area.

- Fantastic Racism: Is fairly disdainful and hostile towards the Senali at first, but does develop some appreciation for their customs after a while.
