While misguided, it is unlikely that Crado ever truly gave himself over to the Dark Side. However, his blind devotion to Exar Kun was perhaps stronger than his focus in the Force, and it caused him to do things he might not have done had he concentrated more on what the Force told him. In the end, his devotion was his undoing and left Crado to be remembered as a traitor to the Jedi Knights. However, Crado was a pivotal Jedi Knight during the Sith War who helped bring about the end of the Krath, and the end of Exar Kun.
