High Council of the Jedi
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:51 am
The High Council of the Jedi is a shadow of what it used to be before the war, currently they number six members out of the eight including the Grand Master, though Syo Bakarn has been missing for several years now.
- Grand Master Satele Shan (Human Jedi): After her work on Nar Shaddaa and bringing peace to the galaxy she showed great wisdom and patience. With the discovery of Tython and the destruction of the Temple on Coruscant, she led the relocation of the Jedi and the Council to Tython where a new Temple has been constructed. Her current agenda is focused on rebuilding the Republic.
- Master Fu’Dall (Ithorian Jedi): One of the oldest members on the council, she is firmly on the side of peace and tradition. She has served in many capacities within the Jedi, though her longest tenure was as a diplomat and advisor for decades. Strong in the Force she spends much of her time teaching younglings and advising members of the Jedi.
- Master Raji Xen (Cathar Jedi): One of the newer members of the council Raji Xen has had a storied career as a Jedi Knight and is a veteran of many battles. He is noble, resourceful, and also thoughtful. Despite his martial success he prefers to think his way out of situations and in his latter years is slow to draw his lightsaber. He too supports peace but understands that peace may not be possible with the Sith.
- Master Zym (Kel Dor Jedi): Zym is a long term member of the council and is a respected voice who weighs both sides of the conflict. A calm and methodical mind, he has mastered his detachment and yet maintained a universal compassion that few Jedi can hope to match. He is something of a moderate and sees both sides quite clearly.
- Master Syo Bakarn (Human Jedi): A gentle light in the darkness, Syo was respected for his wisdom and giving nature. A native of Corellia, Syo was recruited when young and has grown into a model of everything a Jedi should be. He is selfless, noble, and compassionate and is an excellent teacher and guide for younger Jedi. He firmly believes in the peace initiative and sees the Sith as a threat but a threat that can be redeemed. Syo vanished shortly after the death of the Emperor was announced, his whereabouts are unknown.
- Master Tam Sadow (Twi’lek Jedi): An ex-slave from Hutt space, Tam has had a hard life but those street instincts and her natural ability to be where she shouldn’t made her an excellent Jedi Shadow. She has had many dubious missions for the Jedi and her time in the field has taught her one thing, not all people are worthy of redemption. It is a dark truth that not every Jedi is willing to accept but she knows it in her bosom and believes that only the eradication of the Sith will bring peace to the Galaxy.
- Master Ludo Karr (Human Jedi): An old guard of the Jedi, Ludo served many years as an investigator and Jedi Knight dispatched to dangerous regions for often months a time. In that time he has seen much of the galaxy and despite the belief that peace is the only way he sees war as the only alternative to removing the evil of the Sith from the galaxy. He is quiet most of the time and tends to keep to himself, but when he speaks everyone listens.
- Master Thy Yulani (Human Jedi): The newest member of the Council, she has had an interesting career and been present at many important moments across the galaxy. Over her career she has become calmer and more relaxed and distant from the dogmatic practices of the Jedi. She tends to question always doing things as they have, she is an enemy of tradition that does not make sense. Her opinion of the Sith Empire is mixed, in that every response should be tailored to the moment not just a general stance. Some responses require diplomacy while others require action.
