Following the early years as a Jedi apprentice, when the Order in the Core collapsed, Bernard became a freedom fighter, jumping from cause to cause in a constant battle against the Dark Side's many manifestations. He never stayed with any group for long, using them as springboards for his own quest for revenge more than anything.
During the battle of Kuat he encountered a different kind of foe, who'd prove to be his match. A Jedi by the name of Lanik entered the battle, and Bernard took his 'attack' on the 'peaceful' Kuati personally, choosing to engage in the conflict himself to protect the people whose sovereignty was being threatened by the Jedi. After a brief pursuit and subsequent crash landing, the two fought on Kuat's surface, though their battle proved inconclusive in the end.
When the Jedi Order of Peace Station established itself, he saw an opportunity to once again serve the Galaxy as a Jedi. He made friends for the first time in a while and began to put down roots, briefly diverted from his cause to destroy the Dark Side and act on his grudge against Lanik.
Yet, when it was revealed that Lanik had been captured and the Jedi, including Bernard, embarked on a rescue mission, he was soon reminded of the Dark Side's insidious nature. Fatefully, he was to be the one who freed Lanik from imprisonment. Lanik, at that time, was under the influence of a Sith Lord by the name of Darth Voyance, however, who used her connection to nearly kill Bernard, cementing Lanik's role as a traitor to the Jedi in Bernard's mind and reigniting the hatred he felt towards the Sith.
The next year(s) he spent recovering, entering Judicial service as part of the Alliance Marshals as he saw himself unfit for Jedi duty due to his injuries. Most of this time he spent in pursuit of Lanik, who had vanished off the face of the Galaxy, it seemed. At least until Bernard happened upon the Jedi as he was in the middle of an attempt on a Senator's (Kaito Kahoshi) life. Preoccupied with the Senator, Lanik was unable to defend himself as Bernard lunged at him, and he perished by Bernard's cyan blade then and there.
Bernard gained his revenge and returned to his duties as a Marshal content and (seemingly) at Peace, but the hunger for revenge soon came gnawing at his psyche again. He received news of a secret funeral for the late Lanik Dawnstar held on Ragoon V, by none other than the Jedi of the New Jedi Order itself.
Incensed and feeling betrayed, he stormed the funeral proceedings in disbelief. When he stood before the burning ashes of the Jedi traitor he had spent so long pursuing, he snapped and his anger turned towards his friends. Before he could act, however, Lanik's ghost appeared with final messages for the Jedi present. Despite everything, Lanik even forgave his murderer. This sent Bernard spiralling down a path of utter confusion and despair, as he realized how blinded he had been by a desire for revenge.
Time passed as he tried to readjust to life as a Marshal and a Jedi, but he found it tremendously difficult to pursue his duties as a servant of the Light. His conscious weighed him down and he even rejected the offer to finally train under a Master. His dreams of becoming a great Jedi were broken and shattered at his feet. He retreated more and more into his duties as a Marshal of the Alliance.
That is until the Jedi set their sights on Korriban. Old fury, though greatly dulled, led him to join their attack on the Sith's ancient homeworld. His objective was clandestine. He was tasked with the destruction of a Sith Academy's library and chose the method of burning the Sith's traditions with firebombs, justifying this to himself as a way to prevent more from becoming victims of the Sith's destructive ideologies.
On Korriban, he set the bombs, but matters became complicated as Acolytes arrive on the scene. He got found out and confronted by one of them, Aradia Pavanos, and a duel ensued between them. During their confrontation, the Sith turned human before Bernard's eyes, as she pleaded in desperation for him to disable the bombs to save Acolytes' lives. Overcome by guilt, he chose compassion over justice and made an attempt to disable the fuses, but by then it was too late. The bombs' detonation was inevitable. To make matters worse, his connection to the Force was severed as he activated an ancient lightsabre that had been an heirloom in his family for millennia.
