There's a certain sinister appeal to his evil side. In addition to making medpacs and other healing items, he functions as a portable medical workbench, capable of breaking down items into their chemical components so that more valuable items may be made. If you take the Dark Side path, though, Atton is delightfully creepy. While he shares the distrust much of the galaxy feels for the Order in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, he is nevertheless drawn to them, and is acutely aware that their skill is needed if the Republic is to be salvaged from destruction. Why the Disciple seeks the Jedi so fervently, or what he hopes to learn from their ancient teachings is not known. He has traversed the galaxy in search of Jedi and any trace of their teachings, much of which were lost when Saul Karath bombed Dantooine and turned the planet's skies to ash. One such seeker is a lone Disciple working for the Republic. The disappearance of the Jedi drove many explorers to search for them and attempt to discover their fate.
