In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Cal is a Jedi Knight who, despite his traumas, has chosen to be on the Light Side of the Force and respect the Order. But fighting an unjust war against the Empire tempts him to embrace his Darkness just so that he can save his loved ones—his crew. Cal’s first significant dark tendencies appear when he confronts Lank Denvik, the chief supervisor of the Imperial Security Bureau, on Nova Garon. But he resists the urge to kill the defenseless Denvik, thanks to Merrin.
