Ako Domi was a celebrated Jedi Knight of Human male descent. This legendary figure participated in the Battle of Sullust, a key engagement of the Great Galactic War that pitted the Galactic Republic against the reconstituted Sith Empire. As a consequence of the battle, Domi was captured. Following his capture, he was incarcerated in a series of prisons until his transfer to Shadow Town, a sector located on Nar Shaddaa, in 3649 BBY. During his imprisonment, he succumbed to the dark side of the Force, proclaiming himself a Sith and exerting control over his fellow prisoners, including two who became his apprentices. Six years later, Republic forces triumphed over Domi, leading to his return to Tython for recuperation during the Cold War. Despite receiving care from Tython's most skilled healers, he maintained his belief that he was irredeemable. However, the Jedi High Council persisted in their efforts to heal him, holding the conviction that he could still be brought back to the Order and that the Empire's cruelties could be reversed.
