Zernvik Akawoi

Zernvik Akawoi is a Zabrak Jedi Sentinel. Vesper Syl'tine is his padawan.

Zernvik firmly believed there was a Sith traitor within the Jedi Council, and assiduously pursued this mystery despite the skepticism of many of his peers. In time, Vesper came to agree with him. Master Zernvik disappeared about a year before the start of the campaign and was not seen again until the PCs located him inside the vergence in the force located on Zoph.

Master Quiet told Zernvik about the existence of the vergence and convinced Zernvik to investigate it. According to Master Quiet, Zoph was the last place Zernvik went before his disappearance. Master Quiet believes that Zernvik failed the vergence's test and was killed in the process of trying to enter it. In reality, Zernvik fought the corrupted spirit of the Keeper of the Armory to a stalemate, and in so doing had a vision of the terrible destruction that would ensue if Master Quiet were to gain access to the Keeper's cache of Dark Side weaponry. Zernvik chose to bind himself to the vergence to prevent Master Quiet from entering it, and to wait for the arrival of someone worthy to cleanse its corruption (which turned out to be the Force-sensitive PCs).

Many years ago, Damasa Kovani was Zernvik's Jedi Master. She spoke to him about the unfinished business she felt she still had on Sura Sindo, and Zernvik believed she may have gone there after she left the Jedi Order.
