Baylan Skoll

Lord Baylan Skoll was a Force-sensitive human male mercenary who, in his past, had once acted as a Jedi Knight and Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. Skoll managed to survive the Great Jedi Purge. During the New Republic Era, Skoll and his apprentice Shin Hati were allied with the forces of Morgan Elsbeth, an industrialist and Nightsister survivor who sought the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Galactic Empire. The mission to find Thrawn coincided with fellow Purge survivor Ahsoka Tano and her apprentice Sabine Wren's search for Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, resulting in a battle between Skoll and Tano on the planet Seatos in which Tano was defeated and Wren was taken prisoner.

Shortly after arriving at Peridea and sensing its connection to the Force, Skoll met with Grand Admiral Thrawn, but he was truly unconcerned with Elsbeth and Thrawn's plans. When sent by Thrawn with Hati to hunt down and destroy Bridger and Wren, his views diverged from Hati as they started to drift in their own separate ways about the future of the force and their destinies. Upon finding Bridger, Skoll and Hati parted as the mentor no longer believed that Hati's future and destiny could be achieved if she continued to be his apprentice. He briefly confronted Ahsoka Tano again before she escaped and continuing his journey to discover his destiny on the planet.

After Thrawn and Ezra's escape during the battle of Peridea, Skoll continued his search for his destiny and came upon the monument of The Father and The Son, as well as a statue of The Daughter which had been severely damaged, unaware that his former apprentice was still on the planet, along with Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, and Huyang.
