Saarai represents an amalgamation of the philosophies of both the Jedi and the Sith, a synthesis masterminded by Nikkos Tyris. This discipline integrated Tyris's personal Jedi training with methodologies acquired from the holocron belonging to Volfe Karkko. Ultimately, Tyris departed from the Jedi Order and joined the ranks of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes during the period of the Clone Wars.
Within the Sith language, the term "saarai" is defined as "truth." Adherents to this doctrine were known as Jensaarai, which translates to "hidden followers of truth." Their chief was designated as the Saarai-kaar, signifying "keeper of truth."
