Pola Sheel

Pola Sheel was a Force-sensitive individual who served as a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. Between 229 BBY and 228 BBY, Sheel encountered a member of the Nihil marauders' Jedi-hunting Children of the Storm group and their pack of Force-consuming Nameless creatures on the astronomical object Meridaus. Due to the Nameless' effects, Sheel was killed during the encounter and transformed into a husk.

The Jedi's remains were eventually recovered and brought to the Jedi Temple on the Core Worlds planet Coruscant where Jedi Knight Reath Silas was researching the Nameless. In 228 BBY, Silas, working alongside Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo, examined a sample taken from Sheel's husked remains in a protonscope in his laboratory which they compared to a sample of the plague known as the blight that also husked its victims. The two Jedi concluded that the effects of the Nameless and blight were identical, with Silas later informing the Jedi High Council of what they had learned.
