Jedi Consular in SWTOR encompasses the two arts of Sage and Shadow. You start the Consular class story on Tython in the same place as Jedi Knights. As your story moves on, and you explore more and more of the Galaxy, other characters will join your crew. These NPCs are called Companions and will be able to fight alongside you and also undertake crafting and gathering Crew Skills missions.So here are the original SWTOR Jedi Consular Companions, when you obtain them and also when/where the post Fallen Empire reunions are. I have put them in alphabetical order so they’re easier to find, rather than in the order you meet them. Enjoy!
When Do I Get Consular Companions?
If you’re new to SWTOR, then this question is understandable. Along with “when do I get my next companion because this one sucks” or something like that! The way it generally works for the class stories in SWTOR, is that an NPC becomes your companion from the class missions from a particular planet. This can happen during that story, or at the end of it.No Spoilers
Although I have written some character background, I’ve tried to keep it spoiler-free. Videos do not auto-play and you can choose whether or not to click external links (marked by a ).Which Consular Companions Can I Romance?
When the base game was brought out only “opposite” gender romances were possible. By “gender” I mean the one you choose for your character when you create them, not in relation to what their gender identity might be. So, for the Jedi Consular, the available class companion romances are:
- Female Characters: Felix Iresso, Tharan Cedrax (Kinda)
- Male Characters: Nadia Grell
When it comes to later expansions, some NPCs become available for romance regardless of your character’s gender setting. Or, you can choose never to romance anyone, or save it for a different companion in a later expansion, of course. And yes, you can cheat on your “romance” with later NPCs if you want to. It’s your character, not mine!↑ Top
C2-N2
During the Consular Story
- Race: Protocol Droid
- Planet: Coruscant
Likes/Dislikes
Conversations have no impact on influence for C2-N2. However it seems that companion gifts classified as cultural artifacts or technology are the best types for him.C2-N2 Reunion
You can choose to be reunited with C2-N2 part way through Knights of the Fallen Empire. As soon as you’ve got yourself sorted on Odessen, you can find him in the common area (not in the Alliance Base). His reunion Mission is Inflicting Comfort, where the droid wants to make life better for the Alliance leaders but not sure who would appreciate his gifts! Click tap on the image below for the guide:
(Lieutenant) Felix Iresso
During the Consular Story
- Race: Human
- Planet: Hoth
- Possible Love Interest: Yes
Likes/Dislikes Per the Codex
- Likes: Republic military, leadership, danger for the greater good, honor and mercy.
- Dislikes: Breaking the law, cruelty.
Felix Reunion
Felix Iresso is a reunion that takes place after the events of Knights of the Eternal Throne. He appears as an Alliance Alert with a Mission called Jail Broken. Here’s my video of the non-romanced reunion of this Jedi Consular companion.
While I have not tested this, and I can’t easily find an answer on YouTube, some returning companions can be romanced by the related class. And this seems to be regardless of whether you had a romance already or what gender your character setting is. I’ve not tried on a male Consular, given my main character is married to Nadia.
Nadia Grell
During the Consular Story
- Race: Sarkhai
- Planet: Shortly after Quesh
- Possible Love Interest: Yes
Likes/Dislikes Per the Codex
- Likes: Learning, helping the weak, charity, mercy, testing her powers.
- Dislikes: Cruelty, dark Jedi, insulting authority.
Nadia Reunion
You can recruit Nadia after the events of Jedi Under Siege on Ossus. This is my video:
I believe Nadia can be romanced regardless of the gender setting on the Jedi Consular and whether you had a previous relationship with her or not. I’m happy to be corrected.
Qyzen Fess
During the Consular Story
- Race: Trandoshan
- Planet: Tython
Likes/Dislikes Per the Codex
- Likes: Killing powerful enemies, encouraging others to defend themselves, danger, honor.
- Dislikes: Killing the weak, mercenary work, sparing powerful enemies.
Qyzen Reunion
You can recruit Qyzen Fess to your Alliance, regardless of whether you’re a Jedi Consular or not. And, I think, if you were at least Influence level 10 before Knights of the Fallen Empire (not difficult to achieve), he can simply join you. His recruitment alert Stalking the Score (which is a requirement for non-Consulars and optional for Consulars) takes place on Hoth. There you must hunt “Worthy” targets. Stalking the Score Guide
I’ve found this guide, which contains extra details and some helpful maps. These are especially useful if you want to solo this rather than go after World Bosses.Tharan Cedrax
During the Consular Story
- Race: Human
- Planet: Nar Shadaa
- Possible Love Interest: Kinda.
Holiday
Though, rightfully, you are joined by both Tharan Cedrax and his hologram love, Holiday. I know some balk at it a bit, and yes it is strange. But as Holiday says “I use software to feel, but feelings are more than that. Like your feelings are more than…chemical reactions.” Touché.
Tharan Romance Spoiler
I once ran the Tharan Cedrax romance. It goes something like this: you’re a real woman and Tharan likes beautiful women. You get together, have a fling. Then Holiday starts electrifying Tharan’s bed among other things. Tharan realises he really loves Holiday and so ends the relationship. Yeah, my already almost-dark Consular did not react well to being upstaged by a techological projection.
Likes/Dislikes Per the Codex
- Likes: Cleverness, logical thinking, aiding scientists and beautiful women, getting something for nothing.
- Dislikes: Mystical Jedi nonsense, Force Persuade, destroying science, heroism that involves danger.
Tharan Reunion
You can be reunited with Tharan after the Flashpoint Operation Meridian on Corellia. Unfortunately, Holiday is not with Tharan at the time. He has a different hologram that helps him out, while Holiday galavants everywhere else. Though they’re still in love, as far as you can tell with such things. Here is a video, from a creator that only has a few views on this reunion:
Zenith
During the Consular Story
- Race: Twi’lek
- Planet: Balmorra
Likes/Dislikes Per the Codex
- Likes: Hurting Imperials, standing up for the weak, stubbornness, resolve.
- Dislikes: Mercy to the Empire, betrayal, second chances for those who do wrong.
Zenith Reunion
Given I am still catching up on the post-Onslaught content, I have yet to run the reunion mission for Zenith. However, SWTORista has an overview on her full Zenith Guide. and also one on a sort-of-romance with him. I’ve included another player’s reunion video, again one with few views, just to support the smaller content sharers. Enjoy:
