Reborn warriors are part of the army Dark Jedi [[Desann]] created to fight the Jedi and the New Republic forces. They were artificially inbued with the Force, as it was revealed in the experiments with Artusian crystals on [[Kejim]]. However, after Desann assumably orders his apprentice [[Tavion]] to kill [[Jan Ors]], [[Kyle Katarn]], defeated by the fallen Jedi, flies to Ruusan to regain his own Force powers. The villains then follow the same coordinates to give such powers to dozens if not hundreds individuals, which would become known as the Reborn.
Reborn warriors are part of the army, Dark Jedi [[Desann]] creates to fight the Jedi and the New Republic forces. They are believed to be infused with the force, as it was revealed in the experiments with Artusian crystals on [[Kejim]].

The first such warrior is encountered by Kyle in the lower levels of [[Cloud City]]. While he is easily defeated by Katarn, many more await him in the upper levels, as well as in the Imperial-controlled [[Cairn Installation]] in the Lenico Belt. A lot of Reborn and [[shadowtrooper]]s would also be part of the occupation force on [[Yavin 4]] later on.

After the defeat of Desann, a few Reborn would still remain. One such warrior would be captured by the Jedi on Yavin 4, but his ultimate fate is unknown.

With the outbreak of the [[Disciples of Ragnos]] crisis, the Jedi would learn that the cult would be accepting [[New Reborn]] into their ranks. Some of the Reborn who served Desann would come to serve [[Tavion]] and would duel many of the Jedi in the subsequent battles. Many of them perished when encountering [[Jaden Korr]].

The standard Reborn skin was originally intended for the Force Users and vice versa. For unknown reasons, the skins were swapped. The change happened late enough in the game's development to where the Reborn's multiplayer icon still displays the Force User skin as the default one.

===In Mods===
Reborn are often used as primary antagonists in many non-official stories for JO and JA. In some cases they are the surviving Reborn with their own missions like in Taryk Kron in ''[[Redemption]]'', or a major figure behind a plot against the Jedi in ''[[Nina mod]]''. In ''[[Communication Force]]'', a group of Reborn uses an ancient device on a graveyard world to disrupt the communications and bring chaos upon the unsuspecting Galaxy. Multiple more Reborn in their classic garments are encountered throughout many other mods.

In a few occasions the Reborn are reskinned to act as other Dark Jedi, including the well-known ones.

===Reskins===
===Reskins===
Reborn is by far the most popular model to be reskinned for ''Jedi Outcast'', most likely due to their appearance. The simple, yet somehow stylish apparel and a hood make them a perfect match for making very different characters. In more than ten years Reborn have seen quite a lot of changes, becoming sometimes Emperor Palpatine, Darth Nihilus, Sith Statue and many other, sometimes bizarre characters.

Interestingly, Reborn are quite similar in their appearance to the Dark Jedi of the Old Republic era, as seen in ''Knights of the Old Republic''. As such they've been reskinned occasionally to be used as these Dark Acolytes in various modification or as simple MP skins.
