Sian Jeisel

Sian Jeisel was a female Devaronian Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. A dutiful Jedi, Jeisel felt that the Order should not have gotten involved in the Clone Wars, the major conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Initially refusing to defend the Republic, Master Mace Windu eventually persuaded her to return to Coruscant and take up the rank of General within the Grand Army of the Republic.

After three years of fighting valiantly, Jeisel's original misgivings about the war were found to be true; the entire conflict was simply a trap for the Jedi, orchestrated by the elusive Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. The leader of both sides, Sidious, in his alter ego Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, ordered the Republic Army to execute their Jedi leaders who had been branded as traitors to democracy. Caught unaware on Bogden 3, Jeisel sacrificed herself in order to protect countless Jedi Initiates fleeing the carnage.
