Arden Lyn

Arden Lyn was a female Human and master of Teräs Käsi who belonged to the Followers of Palawa. In 24,500 BBY, this Dark Side Adept became the lover of Xendor and, upon the advent of the First Great Schism, his right hand in the Legions of Lettow. When Xendor was killed during the conflict, Lyn ascended to leadership of the Legions of Lettow until Jedi Grand Master Awdrysta Pina confronted her on Irkalla. Lyn killed Pina with a powerful Kashi Mer talisman, but the Jedi Master stopped Lyn's heart before being destroyed, sending the martial artist into a Force trance.

24,496 years later, in 4 BBY, at the end of the Great Jedi Purge, Lyn was reawakened by three of Emperor Palpatine's Inquisitors: Antinnis Tremayne, Ameesa Darys, and Grand Inquisitor Laddinare Torbin. After fighting off Tremayne and killing Darys, Lyn was maimed by Torbin, who spared her life so that she could serve Palpatine as an Emperor's Hand. Lyn did so for a while, spurred on by Palpatine's promise that he would resurrect Xendor from the dead. When she finally came to accept that Palpatine had been lying, she turned rogue, and aided Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin in his attempt to abduct Palpatine. The endeavor failed, and Lyn was forced to flee. Palpatine eventually hunted down and killed Lyn.
