| - Ussej Padric Bac was the Shaman of the Whills and the guardian of the Journal of the Whills in the millennia between the Great Territorial War and the foundation of the New Republic. Ussej was born on Alderaan as the son of Princess Talia Antilles, making him a prince by virtue of lineage; Bac's mother and father Senator Padric Bac II, were assassinated when he was a baby, so the Jedi Order took him in as one of their own. He and his master, Brarh Kefle, ran from the Second Sith Empire for years in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War before the Jedi Order was reformed. As a Jedi, Ussej fought alongside his friend Damien Nightblade during the Great Territorial War, nearly falling to the dark side in the process; his true love, Laili Jeyna Rendar, helped pull him back from the brink. When the war was over, Ussej and Laili ventured to Kal'Shabbol where Ussej became a member of the Bendu Order. Upon his death, Ussej was taken to Ashlan Four where he became the Shaman of the Whills, allowing him to use the time stream to interact in historical events. Thousands of years later, Ussej warned Nightblade, who had become the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Plagueis, that allowing Plagueis' apprentice to kill him and become the Dark Lord would result in the beginning of the Apocalypse. Despite Ussej's eleventh hour plea, Plagueis allowed himself to die and the Apocalypse began. Annikin Skywalker, the supposed Chosen One who would be the savior of the galaxy, was born shortly thereafter, and Bac would interact with him in the years that followed. Ussej recounted these interactions to Duseuso, a Whill historian who documented them in the Journal of the Whills.
