| | The Order of the Jedi '''Consular''' was one of three Orders that make up the members of Clan [[Odan-Urr]]. The path of the Jedi Consular is one of learning, research, healing, diplomacy and furthering ones knowledge in the Force. Jedi Consulars are unique amongst the three orders for that fact that members of the Order of the Consular prefer to use words and diplomacy to settle disputes over the use of the lightsaber. However, they do carry a lightsaber and do use it when the time calls for it. |

| ====Jedi Seer==== | | ==Paths of the Jedi Consular== |
| A Jedi Seer was a specialized Jedi Knight who pursued the teachings of the Jedi Consulars. Serving the Jedi Order as conduits to the Unifying Force, the Seers were responsible for receiving Force visions and interpreting them for the Jedi High Council and the Council of First Knowledge. Working closely with their brother and sister Lore Keepers, the Seers updated and provided new information to store in the holocrons of the Order. While nothing new by the time of the Ruusan Reformation, the ideals of the Seer were put in context within The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a guidebook written by Jedi Masters to help aid Jedi Initiates to better understand the roles they will be able to pursue in the future. The section relating to the Jedi Seers was written by a member of their ranks, famed Seer Sabla-Mandibu. While Jedi could sometimes show aptitude in receiving visions from the Force, there were only a select few which had a propensity for having the vivid Force dreams of a Seer. Capable of feeling the very will of the Force and seeing distant events, Seers were a vital part of the Order, often serving as a first alert to impeding surges in the dark side. The Jedi Seers of the ancient past are responsible for the creations of many of the most well know stories of the Order. Those Seers capable of foretelling future events were dubbed Prophets, and were the group that wrote down the Prophecy of the Chosen One. Following the reconstruction of the Order in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge, a Jedi Council of Seers was formed to foretell future events. The group saw the rise of Kol Skywalker and foretold that he would do great things for the Order. | | ===Jedi Seer=== |

| | Within the cortex of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Consular plays a specific role. Although, historically, there are many positions available to a Consular, within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood the Consular plays the role of a diplomat, an ambassador and a Force wielder. Whilst the [[guardian|Guardians]] and [[Sentinel (order)|Sentinels]] are the primary fist of Clan Odan-Urr, the Consulars are the doctors, the healers, those who stay at the back of the fight and assist those in need. However, not only assist on the battlefield, but assist with, like said above, diplomatic purposes. The Jedi Consular is the primary Force user of Clan Odan-Urr and, therefore, are expected to have a deep knowledge of the Force and practice it regularly. With the guidance of the Quaestor, the Consulars of the Order are given orders on the battlefield, as well as, carrying out the will of the Force for the council. The Consular is a wise, well oiled machine that is the backbone of the Jedi Order. |

- "A Consular is a specialized kind of Jedi. They focus more on cerebral Force skills. They're our healers, our researchers, our seers."
- ―Zayne Carrick
The Order of the Jedi Consular was one of three Orders that make up the members of Clan Odan-Urr. The path of the Jedi Consular is one of learning, research, healing, diplomacy and furthering ones knowledge in the Force. Jedi Consulars are unique amongst the three orders for that fact that members of the Order of the Consular prefer to use words and diplomacy to settle disputes over the use of the lightsaber. However, they do carry a lightsaber and do use it when the time calls for it.

Jedi Guardians are needed to prevent the spread of evil, but it is the Jedi Consulars who uphold the central precepts of the Jedi Code. A Jedi can study the ways on the Consular following their ascension to the rank of Jedi Knight. The Consulars seek diplomatic measures in spreading peace and harmony throughout the galaxy. Refraining from drawing their lightsabers (many Consulars wielded a green bladed lightsaber) except as a measure of last resport, Consulars spend a great deal of time studying the mysteries of the Force. A Consulars role in the Jedi Order has remained largely consistent throughout its history.

A Jedi Seer was a specialized Jedi Knight who pursued the teachings of the Jedi Consulars. Serving the Jedi Order as conduits to the Unifying Force, the Seers were responsible for receiving Force visions and interpreting them for the Jedi High Council and the Council of First Knowledge. Working closely with their brother and sister Lore Keepers, the Seers updated and provided new information to store in the holocrons of the Order. While nothing new by the time of the Ruusan Reformation, the ideals of the Seer were put in context within The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a guidebook written by Jedi Masters to help aid Jedi Initiates to better understand the roles they will be able to pursue in the future. The section relating to the Jedi Seers was written by a member of their ranks, famed Seer Sabla-Mandibu. While Jedi could sometimes show aptitude in receiving visions from the Force, there were only a select few which had a propensity for having the vivid Force dreams of a Seer. Capable of feeling the very will of the Force and seeing distant events, Seers were a vital part of the Order, often serving as a first alert to impeding surges in the dark side. The Jedi Seers of the ancient past are responsible for the creations of many of the most well know stories of the Order. Those Seers capable of foretelling future events were dubbed Prophets, and were the group that wrote down the Prophecy of the Chosen One. Following the reconstruction of the Order in the wake of the Great Jedi Purge, a Jedi Council of Seers was formed to foretell future events. The group saw the rise of Kol Skywalker and foretold that he would do great things for the Order.

The historians were responsible for the oversight and analysis of the Holocrons, led by the Caretaker of First Knowledge, the leader of the Council of First Knowledge. Historians of the Old Republic sometimes wore special robes based on Ansatan design, signifying an elevated learning to that of their peers. Over the centuries, Madame Nu, her ancient predecessor Atris, and the reformed Order's first historian, Tionne Solusar were known to dress in these patterns.
Role In The Dark Jedi Brotherhood
Consular Chronicler A'lora Kiituri, current Consul and member of the Consular Order of Clan Odan-Urr
Within the cortex of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the Consular plays a specific role. Although, historically, there are many positions available to a Consular, within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood the Consular plays the role of a diplomat, an ambassador and a Force wielder. Whilst the Guardians and Sentinels are the primary fist of Clan Odan-Urr, the Consulars are the doctors, the healers, those who stay at the back of the fight and assist those in need. However, not only assist on the battlefield, but assist with, like said above, diplomatic purposes. The Jedi Consular is the primary Force user of Clan Odan-Urr and, therefore, are expected to have a deep knowledge of the Force and practice it regularly. With the guidance of the Quaestor, the Consulars of the Order are given orders on the battlefield, as well as, carrying out the will of the Force for the council. The Consular is a wise, well oiled machine that is the backbone of the Jedi Order.
