Brand (Jedi Master)

Brand was a Force-sensitive individual who served as a Jedi Master during the High Republic Era. Around 134 BBY, he served as a delegate of the Jedi Order present on the Siline during the diplomatic talks between the Silinese government and the Galactic Republic's diplomat Darren Abysina about the planet joining the Republic. During the high ranking member o the Silinese War Council, Rap Arcon, repeatedly challenged Brand to a ritualistic duel, which Brand refused. The Silinese were offended and saw Brand's refusal as a disrespect of their traditions as a former warrior culture and questioned his ability to appropriately negotiate with them, leading to a standstill in the diplomatic negotiations. In response the Jedi High Council ordered Brand from the planet and sent Jedi Masters Elishe and Sol to clear up the misunderstanding.
