Ador Hentral was a distinguished Adarian Jedi Master of the Galactic Republic. Dedicated to nonviolence except when absolutely no other choice was available and a vocal opponent of war, Hentral was awarded a seat on the Jedi High Council for his wisdom and commitment to the light side of the Force. Upon the dawn of the New Sith Wars, however, he was unable to sway his fellows away from violence and drew to himself a group of Jedi equally dissatisfied with the current leanings of the Order. The Jedi left for the Unknown Regions, but accident and tragedy drew them into madness and the dark side of the Force. When they arrived, Hentral became the de facto leader of the group and inaugurated the Nightmare War.
