    • Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, was once a promising Jedi apprentice taught by his uncle Luke Skywalker. But under the influence of the mysterious Snoke, Ben rejected Luke’s teachings and destroyed his temple, leaving with several of his uncle’s students and killing the rest.
    • A shaken Luke vanished into exile, while Ben assumed a new identity -- Kylo Ren – and found a new master in the First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke. Neither Jedi nor Sith, Kylo used the pain of his emotional conflict to fuel his extraordinary powers, and dedicated himself to destroying the last traces of the Jedi tradition.
    • After stormtroopers assaulted the village of Tuanul on Jakku, Kylo interrogated the galactic scout Lor San Tekka in search of a clue to Luke’s location. When San Tekka told Kylo that he couldn’t deny the truth that was his family, the former Ben Solo struck him down with his exotic, red-bladed lightsaber.
    • A Resistance fighter named Poe Dameron fired on Kylo, who used his extraordinary powers to freeze the blaster bolt in mid-air. Kylo’s troops captured Poe, and the First Order warlord ordered the soldiers to massacre the villagers.
    • Kylo took Poe to the Star Destroyer Finalizer and interrogated him. Using telepathic intrusion, he discovered the map to Luke was hidden in BB-8, an astromech on Jakku. As troops descended to find the lost droid, a renegade stormtrooper – FN-2187 -- helped Poe escape.
    • FN-2187 escaped the stormtroopers with BB-8, causing Kylo to explode in a furious, terrifying tantrum. The droid had to be found so Skywalker could be located and eliminated as a threat to the First Order.
    • The Finalizer traveled to the First Order’s hidden fortress, the Starkiller Base. There, Kylo and General Hux contacted Supreme Leader Snoke. Snoke agreed to Hux’s suggestion that they draw out the Resistance by firing the Starkiller at the New Republic capital of Hosnian Prime.
    • He then warned the former Ben Solo that the Empire fell because Darth Vader was seduced by the light, and Ben would soon have to face his father. Kylo assured his master that his own allegiances were unwavering.
    • Kylo meditated with one of his trophies – the melted mask of Darth Vader. Staring at this grisly relic of the Sith, he vowed to hunt down Luke Skywalker and kill him in Vader’s name. When the First Order learned BB-8 had been taken to Takodana, Kylo readied his troops, eager to fulfill his destiny.
    • Landing on Takodana, Kylo confronted the young woman who’d escaped from Jakku with BB-8 – and found himself puzzled by a strange connection he felt with her. Resistance X-wings drove the First Order’s forces away before BB-8 could be found, but Kylo took the young woman, Rey, into custody.
    • Speaking with his captive, Kylo removed his mask, revealing his surprisingly young face, and used his powers to dig into Rey’s mind. But both captor and captive were surprised when Rey found herself able to sense Kylo’s own thoughts – including his conflicts and doubts. When Snoke requested Kylo’s presence, he donned his sinister mask and left Rey in her cell. Sneering at Kylo’s weakness, Snoke ordered his apprentice to bring Rey to him.
    • Rey escaped, sending Kylo into another fit of rage. But the First Order soon had larger problems: Resistance infiltrators had penetrated Starkiller Base’s planetary shield. Searching for the invaders, Kylo confronted his father and removed his mask, allowing his father to see his face for the first time in years. Seeking to free himself of his emotional attachments, Kylo ran Han through with his lightsaber, killing him.
