Little is known about the man called Ryder. At one point in time he was a Jedi Knight and a member of the Jedi Order. Then came the darkness. The Sith took him and attempted to break him. Instead, all they did was forge a weapon and aimed it directly at themselves. Upon his escape he took the name Ryder and has vowed to hunt down and kill every last darksider in the galaxy. None are aware of his true name, but the galaxy at large knows him as the Ghost of Korriban.
