Eventually Hor did take on a Padawan only to have the experience turn out very poorly. The young Padawan, Lissa McLaren, turned out to not to have Dark Side leanings necessarily, but she certainly not embracing the Jedi Order's more noble ideals. She was determined to succeed at everything, even if that success involved setting up other people to fail. Hor tried to dissuade these aggressive tendencies unsuccessfully. When several people were caught up in an accident caused by negligence due to Lissa's maneuverings, Hor had it out with the young Padawan. Lissa wound up leaving the Jedi order, feeling shocked and betrayed by his response. Hor never took on another. A decade later, Hor finds himself uncomfortably close to the mentor roll again, with the assignment to the Drighton Terminus. The assignment to oversee the incorporation of the sector into the Galactic Republic included a handful Padawan Learners. Although their masters have also been assigned nearby, Hor does interacts with the group on a regular basis. Although not his responsibility, he does find himself liking them - and that brings them closer than he feels comfortable with.
