Dazen Mok was a Jedi Knight of the male persuasion, who gave his service to both the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic in the time period preceding the Clone Wars. Mok chose to retire from the Order, and subsequently embarked on a lengthy voyage to investigate the Cularin system along with its strange happenings.
Possessing a connection to the Force, Dazen Mok underwent formal training in the ways of the Force at the Jedi Order's experimental academy located on the planet of Almas. Achieving the rank of Jedi Knight, Mok engaged in a period of introspection that led him to the conclusion that he should leave the Order to explore the Cularin system and research its deep mysteries. Commencing this endeavor, Mok departed from the Academy and dedicated numerous years to the investigation of the disappearance of the Nub Saar while it was in orbit around Genarius.
His inquiries led him to a radical hypothesis: that Nub Saar met its end due to a manifestation of dark side energies. It was believed that these powers were created by Karae Nalvas, the individual who had constructed the floating fortress Conkesta around Genarius. Upon the destruction of Nalvas' fortress, the energy was thought to have returned to the core of Genarius. His ideas were not well received by the citizens and officials of Cularin. Years later, the dark side was re-energized during the construction of the second Nub Saar, which resulted in its complete obliteration.
