Dal Konur was a Force-sensitive male Human who fought for the Rebel Alliance and its successor, the New Republic, in the Galactic Civil War against the authoritarian Galactic Empire. Circa 12 ABY, Konur's Force potential was discovered, and he enrolled at the Jedi Praxeum, a Jedi academy located on the moon Yavin 4. He trained under the tutelage of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and soon became disgusted that the Jedi weren't using their Force powers as weapons to defeat the Empire. Two months after his arrival at the academy, Konur fled Yavin 4 aboard the school's supply ship, planning to travel to Imperial Space and assassinate the Moff Council, the Empire's governing body, to bring the Galactic Civil War to an end.
