The eighty-first generation Khommite humanoid clone of the same set of genetic attributes, this olive-green-skinned native of the planet Khomm was somehow different from all those who had gone before, for he was touched by the Force. But Dorsk 81 was considered imperfect in a society that had valued sameness for 1000 years. He felt he was a failure to his species until he heard about my plans to develop a Jedi Academy for the learning of action. He knew he had a powerful affinity for the Force and left his planet to seek training on Yavin IV.

Dorsk 81 became one of the first twelve Jedi trainees, although he had some problems eating the natural, rather than highly processed, food set before him; he also panicked once during an exercise floating in an underground lake. Dorsk 81 joined with the other Jedi initiates after the evil spirit of the long-dead Sith Lord Exar Kun drove my spirit from my body and seduced Jedi trainee Kyp Durron with the Dark Side of the Force. Together they found a way to destroy Kun for all time and restore me to my body. Dorsk 81 died a hero after again joining with his fellow Jedi. He channeled their combined powers through himself to create a Force storm that pushed an entire fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers, commanded by Admiral Daala, nearly out of the Yavin system. The energy was too much for one body, however, and he was consumed by it. His successor, Dorsk 82, came to dfevelop his Force powers some years later, and was taken as apprentice by Dorsk 81's close friend, Kyp Durron.
