Is Kreia Kae?

[The Crusader]

Well, at any rate, I don't think the evidence properly adds up. It seems to me that Kreia isn't Kae. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem right. Sure there are some coincidences, but what if they're nothing more than that?
Besides, I'm not sure if Kreia would be the person to have a romantic relationship with anyone anyway.

[JCarter426]

Well, as Kreia says, true coincidences are rare indeed.

And people like Kreia, who have a sick view of relaitonships, usually have such a view because they've been scorned by people with whom they had a close relationship.

I'm just speculating here, but it could be that Kae blamed Yusanis for her exile, and had her padawan kill her former lover. And so she became a bitter woman who betrays everyone she gets close to, before they have a chance to betray her.

Another possible explanation for her nature of betrayal during TSL, (which really only hit me after reading the part I've highlighted) was that the betrayal of both Sion and Nihilus was the proverbial straw to her camel's back....
She didn't betray them before they betrayed her, and she already felt betrayed by the Jedi, but not the Sith Triumverate of which she was a part.
That is, until it betrayed her.

Feeling betrayed by the Jedi, and then Sion and Nihilus could have been a catalyst for her renewed hatred of relationships and distrust of anyone she didn't control.

[JCarter426]

Well, I was talking about the Exile; Kreia betrayed the Exile before yet another one of her students could betray her.

However, I do agree that her exile by Sion and Nihilus is what drove her to seek revenge against the Force--she was exiled by the Jedi, so she sought out the Sith, and when she was exiled by the Sith, she couldn't stand it anymore, and began her insane mission to destroy the Force.

which ultimately killed her

is it possible Kriea is 50, but looks a lot older because she fell to the dark side? I mean when any character in KotOR falls, they look really dead looking. I realize this was discussed a few pages before, but I don't think this possibility was mentioned.

[Lordjedi]

You know in TSL Canderous (Mandalore) is supposed to be 63 umm.. who looks older? Kreia or Canderous

[JCarter426]

Well, Canderous is a Mandalorian; he'd be in good shape at 96. Healthy living, you know.

[Lordjedi]

But look at this now who looks older? Canderous looks like he's about 55 in TSL; in TSL Kreia looks 78
Canderous:
Knights of the Old Republic 2 Files - Screenshots for File: Mandalore without his helmet
Kreia:
Knights of the Old Republic 2 Files - Screenshots for File: Kreia's Hood Down

I wouldn't go using the "unmasked" Canderous as proof of any sort.

It is afterall, a mod.
