Carth Onasi

Carth Onasi (born 3,994 BBY) is a fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe; he is depicted in the 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Carth is a veteran soldier from the Mandalorian War and Jedi Civil War and an expert pilot.

Knights of the Old Republic

Carth was assigned to the cruiser Endar Spire during the Jedi Civil War when it was ambushed by a Sith fleet over the planet Taris. Narrowly escaping by taking an escape pod to the planet surface with the memory-wiped Revan (who was given a new name and a fake biography of a simple Republic soldier), the two searched for and eventually found the Jedi Bastila Shan on the surface. Stealing the ship Ebon Hawk from the crime lord Davik, Revan, Bastila, and Carth, along with Twi'lek slicer Mission Vao, her Wookiee partner Zaalbar, Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, and the astromech droid T3-M4, they managed to escape Taris just as Darth Malak obliterated the city with a planetary bombardment. After escaping to the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, he was sent along with Bastila and Revan to find the Star Maps and the Star Forge. Upon investigation, Revan found that Carth's homeworld of Telos was destroyed by the Sith under the guidance of Admiral , his former commanding officer and mentor. His wife was killed in the attack and his son, Dustil, went missing, presumed dead. Revan and Carth later found Dustil as a Sith recruit in the Sith Academy on Korriban. The destruction of his planet led to a significant amount of guilt for Carth, who had and did not use the opportunity to stop Saul and vowed to kill him. Furthermore, Saul's betrayal and the betrayal of the men who became Sith have caused him to have trouble trusting anyone, almost to the point of paranoia.

While looking for the Star Maps, Carth and his companions were captured by Admiral Karath and taken aboard his ship, the Leviathan. After breaking out, Bastila, Carth, and Revan managed to make it to the bridge of the ship, where Carth killed Saul. As he was dying, Saul revealed the true identity of Carth and Bastila's companion - that of the former Dark Lord Revan. Carth felt betrayed, though he was later able to accept that Revan was no longer the Sith Lord and had become a true servant of the light.

Alternate Dark Side Universe Ending
If Revan falls to the dark side on Lehon, Carth ends up fleeing from the Ebon Hawk and disappears. In the sequel game, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, if Revan was stated to have fallen to the Dark Side again, a different Republic Admiral replaces Carth's holographic sequences.

Alternate Female Character Light Side Universe Ending
If Revan remains true to the light side and is female, Carth falls in love with her, and/or helps Revan get into the Star Forge to confront the fallen Bastila Shan and Darth Malak, Revan's former ally.

Alternate female Character Dark Side Universe Ending
Should Revan be female and choose the path of the dark side, Carth reappears at the Star Forge in an unsuccessful attempt to turn her to the light side, after which she either slays Carth with her own hands or orders Bastila to finish the Republic pilot. In an alternate ending in the game, Revan has a third option: to slay Bastila and die onboard the Star Forge with Carth. This ending was cut from the final game due to time constraints, although the sound files of the dialogue are available in the game folder.

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
After the destruction of the Star Forge and the end of the Jedi Civil War, Carth was promoted to Admiral. When Revan left to search for the true Sith Empire beyond the rim, he charged Carth with the task of protecting the Republic until his return, an order Carth dedicated himself to following. When the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus attacked Telos five years after the end of the Jedi Civil War, Carth led the Republic fleet defending the planet and above. He also requested to speak with the Jedi Exile, to see if the Exile found any trace of Revan (only if the player chooses Revan as light side in the beginning of the game). Carth instructed the Exile, if by chance he/she found Revan (if male): "Simply tell him that Admiral Onasi is following his orders." If female, it is revealed that Carth was/is in love with Revan; the statement is: "Simply tell her that Carth Onasi is waiting for her."

Additionally, if you completely repair T3, you are rewarded with two possible holovids that T3 provides. Revan must have been referred to as female in order to get these:

Dark Side Holovid
Carth tells T3 he can see the beginnings of Revan's turn to the dark side. He still believes she can be saved, and requests that T3 protect her, and to get other Jedi or someone else to help if Carth doesn't make it back from his attempt to save her. This holovid is his last message before his murder on the Star Forge.

Light Side Holovid
Carth tells T3 he can tell Revan is preparing to leave them, but doesn't know where. He asks T3 to watch after her, and if something happens, to find either a Jedi or someone else to help. This eventually leads into his speech with the Exile towards the end of the game.
